Not so long ago in a summer camp we sang a song where we Yeah`d and Boo`d according to the situation. If we liked it, we Yeah`d, if we disapproved we Boo`d. T`would seem that Ms Aloni feels that the current trend in the Israeli public towards Traditional Judaism, and its effect on the social and political life is "undemocratic". So it seems that in the State of Israel Vox Populi Vox Dei for real.
If I recall she was booted out of the Education Ministry after eating chametz on Pesach in in Natzrat. Other than that, she usually broke the long standing custom of government ministers of "keeping kosher" when they were abroad. Even Peres walked to see his friend, the late Yves Montand on Shabbat when he was in Paris.
What Ms Aloni needs is to bring some necromancer to revive Ben-Gurion and bring him back to re-Secularize the State of Israel. Trouble is there aren`t any necromancers available, and B-G is long gone. |
