the right wing in israel hold way to much power. olmert is slowly gaining any respect, and there will probably be election within the next year or so.
unfortunatly netanyahu will be our next PM. netanyahu has no political ideologies, he only does what will better his career. he is going to completwely fuck up our economy, education, everything that will not make a profit will go to a worse place than it already be. but here is the scary part, i am pretty sure that his coalitionbwill be
licud
shad
yisrael beteinu
for those of you that dont know yisrael beteinu, its avigdor liberman's right wing facist party. they believe in transfering all arabs to a different country, and all other facist ideals.
what funny is that liberman is a russian immegrant that moved here about ten years ago, and he feels that he has more of a right to this land than a family t5hat has lived in the same house for 100 years.
a real problem here is the legitimacy of racism.
its ok to hate arabs. its ok for a political party top belive in the transfer of another race.
its ok for a political party to be anti gay, and protest gay pride marches, and endorse violence.
what we really need is for all of this society to ber uprooted from the core, re-education of everybody. to teach us basic human values.
take the jewish religeon out of the government and exchange it for the jewish culture.
but unfortunatly this will not happen...
and about living in jerusalem, i have lived here for nearly a decade. i moved here from massachusets. both areas i deeply love. but i really could not see myself living anywhere else.
it is at times difficult to live in a city that cares not for culture, equality... but its something worth fighting for. and it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
and is definatly not scary.
