After Sharon

Some pundits are saying that the Israeli public wants a middle of the road party like Kadima. I disagree. I think that the support for Kadima is simply the public's support for Ariel Sharon.

So I did this cartoon.

There actually was a "retired peoples' party" back in the bad old days when Israeli politics were dominated by small splinter parties.

* * *At the time of this writing (Friday morning, Israel time) the Israeli public is still praying for Ariel's life. TV is non-stop interviews with brain surgeons, political experts, friends of the PM, etc.* * *
