"There has to be a way to form a government without succumbing to Shas` extortion. Do the best thing for everyone in Israel and just say no to Shas."

Funny. It`s extortion when Shas is trying to get a good deal for those who put them in power. Yet, if it`s Likud, Labour, Meretz, etc... you would never call it extortion. Shas is doing what it`s electorate wants, it`s as simple as that. And if you have such a problem with that... well, they have the votes behind them to use.
