Livnat and Livni warn of right-wing takeover bid in Likud

By Mazal Mualem, Haaretz Correspondent

Ahead of Monday's elections for members of the Likud secretariat, ministers Limor Livnat and Tzipi Livni expressed concern Sunday about a possible right-wing takeover of the party, referring to Moshe Feiglin's Jewish Leadership faction.

Livnat said she hoped the Likud voters would not lend a hand to allowing radical elements who are not part of the Likud into the party's secretariat, which is the Likud's most important body.

In a joint statement published Sunday, Livnat and Livni voiced "concern about another step to accumulate power within the Likud on the part of Jewish Leadership - a group that just a week ago called for refusal and one of whose candidates was convicted in the past of terror activities. We believe this constitutes another attempt to lead the movement to places with which the majority of Likud members do not identify."

The Jewish Leadership candidate to whom Livnat and Livni were referring is Shaul Nir, a member of the Jewish Underground who was sentenced to life imprisonment for planning and carrying out the murder of three Arab students at the Islamic College in Hebron in July 1993. Nir was pardoned and released after serving seven years of his sentence.

1. Hey, why not?

They've seen the miraculous results from the United States when it elected(?) right wingers that make your garden variety Republican look like a sceaming Liberal. The father to the right the better, correct?
This will fit nicely with the bush administrations plans to hasten a supposed armegeddon and the consequent rapture. A far, FAR right wing Likud teamed with the Fascist bush team is an unstoppable combination for total war throughout the mid-East.
What the hell is happening to this world? Is it just me, or has it gone completely mad with the lust for power and endless war?
There is no god. A just god would not let his creation fall into the hands of men like these, men whose only god is greed and power. Don't start giving me this "free will" crap either. Anything with the power to create the universe would not take such a hands off approach to it's welfare.
Honestly, sometimes I fell like going out and sucking on the tailpipe of my car. I don't know how much longer I can tolerate this madness.

2. I began doubting there was a G_d when I learned about the Holocaust

When I first learned of the Holocaust as a child, I could not fathom how a just G_d could permit such horror to happen to his people. This led to a reexamination of my own theology. We are on our own!
