I’ve been under the weather pretty much ever since I ate too much for Thanksgiving Dinner. I think I need a tune up. In any case, I haven’t had my normal energy for writing and reading and there are some stories that are slipping between the cracks. One of them is what’s going on in Israel, where Netanyahu seems to be acting erratically or, at least, unconventionally. And now he has sacked Finance Minister Yair Lapid and Justice Minister Tzipi Livni (basically for criticizing him in public) and announced that he will soon call for new elections to the Knesset.
I guess my question is for anyone who closely follows Israeli politics. Why is Netanyahu freaking out?
Who’s pushing the Jewish State bill and why is Bibi going along with it?
