    You take oliphant’s hyperbole too seriously. cartoons are meant to hit you in the solar plexus rather than present all sides of an issue.
    personally, i find greenberg’s cartoon objectionable because it implies that natanyahu’s coalition, like an airplane with mis-matched wings, cannot fly.

    it may be strange to use a cartoon to start a discussion, especially a rather uncontroversial cartoon as steve greenberg’s.

     barak’s joining the government is good for israel

    1. in that it reduces netanyahu’s dependency on the national union party and thus gives him a little bit of wiggle room.  lieberman is nothing if not pragmatic and thus we have a pragmatic right wing government rather than an ideological one.

    2. the primary issue that netanyahu set up for himself is the issue of iran and its nuke and on this issue two heads are better than one, so the barak presence is good news.

    (using a cartoon as a focus point, i feel a need to comment on the oliphant cartoon.  i label it scary.)
