A quick peek into the crazy quilt that is the legislature of the Jewish State.
As its first order of business, the Knesset rejected three motions of no-confidence against Sharon on issues of economics, security, and the government's laxness is allowing for the selling of hametz [leaven] over Pessah [Passover].
Meanwhile,
The number of attempted terrorist attacks has risen since the appointment of Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told the Likud faction on Monday as the Knesset's summer session opened.
Increasingly, he said, he feels there are two centers of power among Palestinians, one concentrated around Abbas and the other around PA Chairman Yasser Arafat. Arafat continues to act in support of terrorism, Mofaz said, while Abbas is still at the organizational stage.
To some, the issue of hametz takes priority over the issue of terrorism. Ah, diversity.
