The writer was speaker of the Knesset, Israel's Parliament, from 1999 to 2003 and is currently a Labor Party member of the Knesset.Maybe that's why Israel is in such trouble?
To: Jim Noble
Labour controls 19 seats in the Knesset out of 120. Mr. Burg's views do not represent the majority of Labour, IMHO. How do his views or his seat in the Knesset translate to Israel being "in trouble"? He has little or no influence on Israeli policy, hence the bitterness of his tone.
If you can read the original Hebrew you should.
