    Likud backs Sharon

    In an uncharecteristic fit of pragmatism, the Likud central committee has rejected hardline Bibi Netanyahu's challenge to the leadership of Ariel Sharon.

    I suspect it was partly that they feared Sharon would breakaway to form his own party, which would have marginalized them. Sharon stared them down, and they blinked.

    He who dares, wins.

    I would normally hurray this, but since hamas celebrated by firing a bunch of rockets of the wrong kind ind the wrong direction, I'll wait a bit before cherring. Though, I think that Sharon is better to handle this situation than Netanyahu would be.
    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

          actually, politically im of mixed mind about this.

          If Sharon had lost, and then lost a primary, he probably would have broken with Likud and formed a new centrist party - and I suspect hed have done far better than previous attempts to forma new center party in Israel. And the hardliners in Likud would have been marginalized. A cleaner result than Sharon continuing to lead a party with some very hardline elements, as well as more pragmatic ones. A party that its much harder for Labor to enter into long term coalition with than a Sharon focused center-right party.

          OTOH, I admire the mans sheer will power. His nerve. HIs drive.

              Yes, I also believe that Likud would have been left out in the cold if they have forced him to create his own party. Almost a shame.
              It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

                  Netanyahu isn't so much a hardliner as an opportunistic politician motivated entirely by his own self interest.
