	Israel - Government and Politics
		The legitimacy of Israeli society and the identification by the majority Jewish population with the state and its institutions rest on several foundations: Zionist Jewish nationalism, the existence of an outside threat to Israeli security, Judaism, collectivism, and democracy.
		The Israeli political system is characterized by certain West European democratic arrangements: elected government, multiparty competition, a high level of voter participation in local and national elections, an independent judiciary that is the country's foremost guardian of civil liberties, a vigorous and free press, and the supremacy of civilian rule.
		Moshe Arens, a former Likud minister of defense and a Shamir ally, was appointed minister of foreign affairs, and Labor's Yitzhak Rabin became minister of defense.

	Yachad (party) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		It was a Labor party that was, at most, willing to consider a compromise deal with Jordan for the West Bank within the framework of the "Allon Plan." It was a Labor party that refused to recognize the Palestinians as a "people" and which criminalized even holding a chat with Yasser Arafat and the PLO.
		Years later, the same Israeli Labor party was to decide that the only way to deal with terror is to reward it, to capitulate to it, and to put thousands of terrorists on the street and arm them with Israeli weapons — to pursue self-debasement and auto-annihilation.
		Labor leaders even invited several of the leaders of the PDFLP, the organization that massacred the Maalot children, to move to the West Bank and participate in "peace" negotiations with Israel.

		The massacre followed only shortly after the Israeli Labor Party produced the debacle of the early stages of the Yom Kippur War, where Golda Meir and Moshe Dayan chose to ignore all warnings that the Arabs were about to attack and refused to mobilize the reserves.
		It was a Labor party that was, at most, willing to consider a compromise deal with Jordan for the West Bank within the framework of the "Allon Plan." It was a Labor party that refused to recognize the Palestinians as a "people" and which criminalized even holding a chat with Arafat and the PLO.
		And today, in 2002, the most "hawkish" prime minister in Israeli history — head of the Likud — sets Arafat free to show the world that Israel is afraid to to fight terrorism, because in their case it might upset Bush's plans.

	The 2003 Israeli Election By Steven Plaut
		The Israeli Labor Party, now led by Amram Mitzna and the Party's radical wing, the same party that once had an absolutely majority of Knesset seats all by itself before adding coalition partners, received only 19 Knesset seats (out of 120).
		Labor also capitalized on "scandals" regarding Sharon and on the unwillingness of the leftist media to report properly Mitzna's own track record of corruption and sleaze.
		The Left was upset because Israelis voted for the WRONG man as Prime Minister in 2000, and so to set things right and to corral the voters back into the Labor Party, Labor led the successful jihad, supported by much of the Likud, to revoke direct voting for the Prime Minister.

	Special Report
		The Israeli right, by contrast, seems to have no better friends than the parochially minded and more extreme members of the organized Jewish communities in the U.S. Remarkably, the U.S. media do not usually report their views, even though they are expressed clearly and frequently in the American Jewish weekly press.
		Perhaps this is because the Israeli right seems less interested in U.S. media publicity than in soliciting financial support from its Jewish friends and in mobilizing them for the purpose of covert political influence in countries of their residence.
		Under such conditions, the public image of the Israeli right is to a large extent shaped by their adversaries of the Labor party.
