But our arab cousins respect mostly appearence, looks. Mr Netanyahu is a perfect statesman, it is the secret of his succes in politics, also among arabs. What about a wig ?

Of course there was no secret deal. Just hypotheticals discussed in an atmosphere of plausible deniability aided by winks and smiles. How corrupt is it when the PM cannot answer a question straight on without consulting an attorney. Bibi is the Don, Ehud his consiglieri, Yvette is luca brazi the enforcer and Mofaz is Fredo the pathetic sibling.

Is Mofaz the new Barak ?

I thought in a parliamentary system of government, if no party won a majority, they were obligated to form a coalition government if possible? Name callers invariably only describe themselves. If Labour had formed a government with Kadima et al would that be a deal with the devil also?

MK Binyamin Ben-Eliezer apparently forgot to specify if the sales transaction materialised with a big Satan or with a little Satan or maybe still with another excellent variety somewhere on the spectrum in between. Selling a soul to sustain Israel, for sure: there must be few vows for which acquiring atonement were easier. A delicate dose of intuition suggests the deal was not done in the smell of sulphur that hangs around many criticisms.
