David M. Weinberg has a fine piece on the execrable Tzipi Livni, who, even at a time when Israel is under multipronged threats and attacks, cannot bring herself to behave as a responsible, patriotic opposition leader. Everything that goes wrong is Bibi's fault! Livni thus codifies her transformation into a card-carrying leftist: it's a great, harmonious world, on the brink of peace, but conservative Israeli (and U.S.) politicians wreck it.
As Weinberg sums up:
Imagine if Menachem Begin had blamed Levi Eshkol for the Egyptian closure of the Straits of Tiran, which led to the Six Day War. Begin, instead, offered to join a national unity government. With the Americans, Europeans, Turks, Egyptians, Palestinians and Iranians closing in on Israel from all sides, you would think that Livni might consider doing the same. But no, she knows better. Netanyahu is at fault.
The Israeli electorate must dump Livni decisively whenever the next elections occur. Even some of her fellow Kadima MKs are sick of her and demanding that she quit.
