Garfield: You obviously haven't the slightest clue about Israel's political landscape. No left wing? what would you call the ICP? How about parties that mae ICP look like Likud? Please start studying the issue if you are truly this interested.
Kadimah is "right wing?" You don't know the slightest thing about Israeli politics [obviously] and I suspect you have never even seen the Kadimah Charter or platform. How would you attempt to define an Israeli party by the politics of another nation? That is insane.

Kadimah are right wing and so are you. Get over it.
ViolentPanda said:Probably a manifestation of that existential problem that so many Americans appear to have:
The inability to see beyond binary oppositions. i.e. if LIKUD are "right-wing", then KADIMAH must be "left-wing", much in the way Labor is still held to be "left-wing. The fact of their being "left" of LIKUD does not, however, mean that they practice politics and pursue policies that can actually be quantified as "left-wing".
But hey, Rachamim knows everything, so yet again everyone else is wrong and Rachamim is right.

Crazy of me, I know. You are good for laughs though. sort of like one's retarded dog, trying to chase its own tail, ends up falling on its face, can't even do that right. Yet, like the retarded dog, I have grown use to your uselessness. U75 would not be the same with you. Don't worry old boy, you'll get that tail one day!
As for Kadimah's founding...It had nothing to do with Sharon's desire to "exert authority." He had a nmandate of the people. His margin was incredibly high. He did so because like a lot of Israelis [myself included], he realised that it was of the essence to divest the so called "Territories" as soon as possible...as you said, "foot dragging."
Panda: Except that I spent my formative years in Israel, not America. I only came here at 23. Even then I spent most of the year home. I am well versed with Socialism, Israeli and otherwise. Like most Jews, I have a closet full of lefties in my family tree. Addtionally, my mom and all her family are from the former USSR so that I am also well versed in Communism. Finally, good old dad, rest his soul, was of course born and raised in syria. Seems I have the bases covered here but keep up the analyses you guys, good work [sic].
Binary? As if. As I have often said, Israel has one of, if not THE most diverse politrical landscapes on the planet. A taxi driver's party? You have a belief, you can engage it there. Makes the UK look like a one party system.'
Kadimah is left wing? Wrong Panda. Centrism is what it is, neither left nor right. Talk about "binary."

More biography. Is this little lot as malleable as where you grew up?Even then I spent most of the year home. I am well versed with Socialism, Israeli and otherwise.

The diversity is a relic of your parliamentary system and constitution, as is theUK's lack of political diversity.Binary? As if.

I didn't claim that KADIMAH is left wing, little warrior. I said (to paraphrase) that they are perceived as left wing because they are right of LIKUD.Kadimah is left wing? Wrong Panda. Centrism is what it is, neither left nor right. Talk about "binary."

rachamim18 said:Nino, get a life. Furthermore, get some glasses, my dad was about as left as Bush. It was my maternal grandfather and his brother, as well as assorted cousins, etc. Not only am I like every person with Ashkenaz blood in having a tree of lefties, but my mom's family came from the Soviet Union. I probably know more about socialism than you, not that it means much to me.
