How childish. Congress votes against the President most of the time in America, you do not hear the Presidents whining about it.

Somebody spank Sharon and send him to bed without dinner.

To: American in Israel

The Likud Central Committee is not the equivalent of Congress. It is the equivalent of the RNC in the U.S. How often do Republican Presidents go against the party platform from the previous election? Answer: all thr time.

The Knesset (our equivalent of Congress) has anti-Sharon votes of no confidence all the time. The Prime Minister always wins. Our equivalent of Congress ratifies his leadership repeatedly.

The Knesset, elected by the people of Israel, better represents public opinion than the Central Committee.
