	Shinui - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shinui's position on Israeli-Palestinian conflict is in accord with the mainstream rightwing consensus.
		As of 2005, Shinui was not included in the new coalition government of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon after he formed a new coalition with the Labour Party, and the Ashkenazi Haredi parties of United Torah Judaism and Degel haTorah.
		Shinui also faced a threat from the center-right where Ariel Sharon, prime minister and former head of the ruling Likud Party broke with the hardline party faithful led by Benjamin Netanyahu and Uzi Landau in response to their opposition to the Gaza Withdrawal and continuing tensions.

	IsraelVotes \| Demo \| Political Parties and Platforms \| Shinui
		Shinui does not reject the notion of a Palestinian state as long as it is achieved within the framework of an agreement that ensures peace and secure borders for Israel.
		Shinui favors territorial compromise as a means for achieving peace and does not object to dismantlement of some settlements as a necessary precondition for a sustainable peace.
		Shinui rejects the current reality in which Israelis are forced to inconvenience and endanger themselves by serving time in the IDF while paying increased taxes to support ultra-orthodox scholars and (often) their families.

		Shinui's rise may seem unusual, but this is not the first time a previously unknown party has burst onto the Israeli political scene.
		Shinui gained and lost seats over the next two decades, remaining a minute part of the Knesset's strange and ever-shifting calculus until, in 1999, its then-leader invited Tommy Lapid, a prominent journalist and businessman, to take over the party.
		Shinui wasn't just a protest party; it was truly the party best-aligned with the politics of many moderate voters, who were ignored by Labor and fed up with Likud.

	Mideast: On Target - Archives - December 5, 2002 - "Shinui: Replacing the General Zionists?" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The centrist Shinui party is not talking much but receiving a fair amount of attention lately as a result of the Labor party's sharp left turn over the past month.
		Shinui was started as a reformist centrist faction in 1977 to challenge Labor corruption on the one hand and the Likud 'Land of Israel' ideology on the other.
		Shinui has the potential of replacing the General Zionists and of taking on a junior coalition role, not done by the GZ’s in the 1950’s.

		The support from the opposition Shinui Party would ensure Sharon a majority for his budget, which he needs to pass by Thursday to avoid the collapse of his government.
		Shinui was considered a weak link in the budget's opposition because it strongly supports the pullout.
		Shinui has said its price for supporting the government is winning government backing for civil marriage, a rollback of the payout to the religious party or formation of a Likud-Labor-Shinui coalition government -- all unrealistic conditions in the current political climate.

		Shinui’s proposal to defer peacemaking until Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat leaves the scene — focusing instead on domestic Israeli issues such as the religious-secular divide — attracted droves of secular young Israelis.
		Shinui’s campaign made much of the fact that secular Israeli youth serve in the army and then pay their own university tuition, while their ultra-Orthodox contemporaries are exempt from military service and receive generous state subsidies for yeshiva study.
		Shinui also has secular critics such as Arye Carmon, president of the Israel Democracy Institute, who say the party is a source of instability in the body politic.

	CNN.com - Sharon forms right-leaning coalition - Feb. 24, 2003
		Shinui is more moderate than the Likud or the NRP and supports the eventual creation of a Palestinian state.
		Shinui believes reaching a peace agreement is secondary to what it considers Israel's most pressing problem -- perceived religious coercion and the disproportionate influence of ultra-Orthodox parties because of their longtime role as kingmakers in Israeli politics.
		Shinui wants to revoke legislation that enables many Jewish seminary students to continue avoiding the draft, and has been promised the law would be replaced within a year.

		Shinui, a strongly secular party, saw its success in the election surge from just six seats.
		Shinui was persuaded to soften several of its anti-clerical positions in order to reach agreement with the NRP, which although Orthodox is modern in its outlook.
		Shinui’s chief success in the negotiations—apart from the five cabinet posts and three Knesset committee chairmanships that it won—is the absence in the new government of the ultra-Orthodox parties: Shas (11 seats) and United Torah Judaism (5 seats).

		Shinui had sought the cancellation of a 290 million shekel grant that had been promised to UTJ-affiliated institutions under the Likud-UTJ coalition deal, but dramatically reversed this stance on Monday.
		Shinui Deputy-Leader Avraham Poraz announced that the party's support for the Gaza disengagement plan must override its opposition to budget allocations to the ultra-Orthodox sector, and that Shinui was willing for the first time to enter coalition with the UTJ as the elected representatives of that community.
		Shinui had come under increasing pressure to act in recent weeks, given signs that Sharon was preparing a coalition agreement with the Sephardi ultra-Orthodox Shas party.

		But Shinui MK Yossi Paritzky says that attaining the second-largest number of Knesset seats would be significant for Shinui, since it would be the first party to be invited to coalition negotiations.
		The meteoric rise of DMC was accompanied by a downfall in the Labor Alignment from 51 to 32 seats, which made the Likud the biggest party with 43 seats.

		Anticipating just such remarks, Shinui head Yosef "Tommy" Lapid told the Forward a few weeks ago that his party's growth is "integral" to Israeli society and not a function of national pique.
		But Perry's comments failed to account for one undeniable fact of Shinui's success: with the breakdown of the Oslo peace process, and as the Israeli populace has shifted rightward, it is the only party that has provided the army-serving, tax-paying bourgeoisie a vent for its anger.
		Shinui is today the only outlet for those desiring to remain secular, "normal," in Israeli parlance, while moving away from the premises of Oslo.

	Liberalism in Israel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Note that the label "liberal" was also used by a conservative party that derived from the liberal current.
		At the moment Shinui, meaning "change" in Hebrew, represents liberalism by being a strongly anti-clerical, pro-free market liberal party.
		While liberalism is usually suspicious of nationalism, Jewish liberals in Israel generally support some form of Zionism.

	Shinui Party (Israel) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		A friend of mine, a Shinui supporter, once told me that when the Mapam, Ratz, and Shinui parties merged in 1992, they made the new name, Meretz, from an acronym of the first two, representing Shinui by using the color green, Shinui's color.
		Perhaps green has come to mean something Shinui doesn't want to associate with (Greens, leftism, etc.), and they saw blue (conservative, Zionist) as better.
		Shinui Party was the (expected) surprise of the 2003 elections, more than doubling its force — from 6 seats to 15 to become the third largest party.

	Who's afraid of Tommy? Who should be afraid? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		To be honest, Shinui’s proposals for "sticking it to" the chareidim enjoy a great deal of support among wide swaths of both the Likud and Labor party.
		The dramatic rise in support for Shinui reflects a sense of hopelessness on the part of the Israeli public – a feeling that there are no solutions to the major challenges confronting us and that none of the candidates for prime minister are even making the slightest pretense of providing answers to our quandaries.
		Shinui makes no claim of having any solutions to either Palestinian terrorism or economic malaise, and, in fact, rarely even mentions these issues, apart from attributing every budgetary shortfall to money squeezed out of the government by the chareidim.

		"Shinui's concern about implementing the withdrawal and continuing the peace process was the decisive factor," Lapid said after meeting Sharon at his ranch on Saturday.
		The votes of the secular Shinui should allow Sharon to pass the budget despite a rebellion in his right-wing Likud by deputies opposed to evacuating Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip, where Palestinians want a state.
		Shinui quit the government late last year after Sharon wooed an ultra-Orthodox faction to join it in exchange for more funding.

		Israel's Shinui party, a secular, centrist grouping, has emerged as perhaps the single biggest winner in Tuesday's general election.
		Shinui's policies have set the alarm bells ringing among Israel's religious communities.
		One woman told the BBC she was voting for Shinui in the hope of change - which is what the party's name means.

		Shinui permitted its nine backbenchers to vote in support of the civil marriage bill, while four of its five cabinet ministers — including Lapid — who were present, abstained.
		Shinui may have had good reasons for voting the way it did.
		But the non-Orthodox public has a right to demand that on such a central issue, Shinui at the very least behave in a principled fashion, just like the religious parties behave on issues such as kashrut and Shabbat observance.
