Steering committee ,   Cambridge   (03.30.06)
What about I & P negotiations?
2. good suggestions

Motti Crystal raises good points, but I don't know if the generation of politicians sitting at the coalition negotiations table are open to them(or even grasp their importance). Mr. steering committee from Cambridge: what do these abbreviations mean? A google search on them comes up empty.
3. Who told you Kadima will form the next goverment?

4. The way ahead

I think there needs to be a coalition between Kadima-Labour-Meretz-Gil and also Yisrael Beteinu & Shas.... ish. The reigious parties and the arab parties should just be there to represent and argue with shinui in smaller sessions and lesser bills. When it comes to the crunch; vote and act as one. the most important thing is sorting out the elderley & young, poverty and soup kitchen crisis. Ha falastinit, will do what they do. As long as there isnt procrastination and there IS clear decision making things will be easier. Not easy, easier. No silly amendments to slow down process because a settler based or backed party wants to play with the decision making process. That kind of "slowing-down to facilitate influence" can be without right now. Israel was also politically fractured during 67. when the times comes the "system" of the states Infrastructure is much more important than its borders and weaponry. Mobilisation on all fronts. Poverty and security. This will booster confidence and inflate Israeli markets and share value. Admittedly, its a long term problem solver. A smart move if done right. Hamas will stick to a clear line. If Israel doesnt do the same over the next decade their image internationally will be weakened and they will be seen as manipulators. Thats the Hmas Game. "hudna for 20 years" yeah... right. They see a bigger game ahead. thats where the beef is. If we cook the Chorn right, we`ll all be eating out in Jerusalem soon....and regularly. B'tavon!

Benedict ,   Jerusalem   (04.02.06)
What is that steering Com. and what does it stand for? Good article and reasonable analysis. I personally would appreciate a longer more elaborate one.
