Pinging the pingers
isn't having a 3000-strong Central Committee a bit megalomaniac for a [medium size] political party in a small country? Even multimillion strong Chinese and [in its day] Soviet communist parties have/had much smaller central committees, despite possessing complete power monopoly and thus having many more functions to perform.
Israel is in desperate need of a new paradigm. It is as if the Israelis and Palestinians are on dual tracks of national suicide. The Israelis by surrendering the Arabs by Jihadism. Remember when we heard the Gaza pullout was actually toughness not surrender. What bs that turned out to be. They gave up the Philadelphia route, they gave up on monitoring the crossings from Gaza now they are going to allow the Arabs passage from Gaza to West Bank across what little is left of Israel. This is worse than pre 67 Israel. Then at least they had some sort of sovereignty over their nation. Worse there is nobody on the horizon to stem the tide. The Israelis will become increasingly dependent on the USA which is becoming increasingly resentful of the obligations they have. I see no good in the near future.
