	To Tell the Truth
		The election of Labor party renegade Haim Ramon as secretary-general of the Histadrut could be compared in American terms to Pat Buchanan leaving the Republican party to win the presidency as an independent, only to face a third party led by Jesse Jackson in control of Congress.
		Haim Ramon, who led the revolution that opened the gates of "The Kremlin," was one of Labor's youngest leaders.
		Ramon stressed, nevertheless, that he continued to support the Labor government's diplomatic agenda and that he would run for the Histadrut position as a dove, backing negotiations with the PLO (Ramon remains a Member of the Knesset and continues to vote on all the diplomatic and security issues with Labor).

		MK Haim Ramon, who for a while had the momentum in the Labor Party leadership race, strode into the crowded room at party headquarters in Rehovot.
		Ramon and Mitzna both want to take Labor out of Sharon's coalition, so if either of them wins, the Labor race will likely turn out to be for the leadership of the opposition, now headed by Meretz's Yossi Sarid.
		Ramon had been chief campaign strategist for Peres and Labor, and Ehud Barak, who had joined Labor in a hurry to become its leader, immediately blamed Ramon for the loss.

		Ramon’s perseverance means that both Mitzna and Ben-Eliezer may fail to get the minimum 40 percent support required to win outright in the first round.
		Ramon, 52, by far the most forceful orator of the three, was born into a poor Eastern European family in Jaffa and entered politics in the Labor party’s youth wing before qualifying as a lawyer.
		His ensuing unpopularity caused Ramon to pass up a run for the Labor leadership against Ehud Barak in 1997, and in the 2001 race between Burg and Ben-Eliezer, Ramon was criticized for failing to support his friend Burg.

		Ramon declared he would remain in the race until the end, probably forcing the party to hold a second round of balloting to determine a winner.
		Ramon's supporters, including his campaign chief MK Eitan Cabel, welcomed the decision to remain in the race, warning that withdrawing would only reinforce Ramon's image as a quitter.

		Peres and Ramon and Ben-Ami did not back either, and polls suggested a majority of Labor voters did not think either candidate was of sufficient caliber to lead the party at a critical time.
		By contrast, Haim Ramon, Shlomo Ben-Ami and Yossi Beilin are longtime Labor "princes" who can be expected to mount a challenge for the leadership when the time is right.
		Ramon and Ben-Ami are also dovish in their own ways, but Ramon was a vocal critic of Ehud Barak while Ben-Ami was his last Foreign Minister and participated in Camp David II in the summer of 2000.

		TEXT: Israeli cabinet minister Haim Ramon says further peace talks with Syria are pointless and the government has authorized the construction of new homes for settlers on the Golan Heights.
		Ramon says as long as the Syrians maintain what he calls "a hard-line and intransigent position" there is no point in negotiating, and -- in his words -- "the inhabitants of the Golan must be allowed to develop economically," and have new housing.
		Ramon's words, "the present negotiations have failed and the talks will probably be adjourned for a long time." The new homes are being built in Katzrin, the largest settlement on the Golan.

		Due to the fact that Sharon has declared that if he wins the primaries and the elections he would act toward establishing a unity coalition with Labor, it is possible that the defense portfolio will no longer remain in the Likud's hands and Mofaz may find himself out of the ministry after the elections.
		Meanwhile, Ramon, who is vying for the leadership of the Labor Party, is reconsidering his intention to step down from the race due to a comprehensive poll which showed that 90 percent of his supporters - some 12,000 of the 107,000 Labor members - expect him to stay in the race to the end.
		Ramon is to consult with MKs who support him on the matter, but his aides do expect that he will eventually pull out of the race.

		Unlike Mitna and Burg, Peres and Ramon justified Israel's policy of targeting terror leader such as Ahmed Yassin and Abdel Aziz Rantissi.

		But Ramon said demography was also a main factor for the barrier route in Jerusalem.

		Ramon has been saying that he is against appointing rabbis from the religious-Zionist camp because of their rightist political views.
		Secondly, there may be some national religious who have called for refusing military orders, but the haredim don't go to the army at all; to imply that they are better/more loyal citizens, and therefore more deserving of a place in the state's courts, is simply ridiculous.

		The first step, ordered this week by acting Interior Minister Haim Ramon, calls for the removal of the nationality clause from the identity card that every Israeli must carry.
		Removing the clause could help solve a long-running dispute over conversions performed in the Jewish state, since the state would no longer be responsible for defining who is a Jew.

		These remarks were in response to a story published in The Jewish Week on October 1, 1999, which reported a meeting that Ramon had in New York with leaders of the American Non-Orthodox community.
		Now Ramon claims to be a "pluralist" -- because he supports the right of a Reform synagogue to conduct services according to Reform practices (no doubt hidden away from public sight and certainly not in the vicinity of the Kotel) and is against discrimination in funding Non-Orthodox institutions.
		It should be remembered that Ramon remains a close friend of ousted Shas political leader Arieh Deri, having outspokenly defended Deri after his conviction for accepting bribes, and that Ramon was one of the most vocal advocates of Shas' joining the government coalition.
