“Many of us looked forward⟳ to the elections for some hopeful signs, and I suppose⟳ that about half of our population were at least partially satisfied with the outcome. Nevertheless, even dyed in the wool Likudnikim may be disturbed by some of the results—the rise⟳ of Jewish fundamentalism or the tremendous drop in the representation of women.”

“All Americans, be they old-line conservatives who hate⟳ seeing their country hopelessly embroiled in the Old World’s perpetual quarrels, or liberals in the honorable anti-imperialist and anti-militarist tradition of William Jennings Bryan, or the apolitical who resent the prospect of becoming an irradiated corpse, must put⟳ aside their differences and start⟳ loudly and persistently identifying these Congressional Likudniki for what they are: quislings.”

“I’m marching on Jerusalem for tens of thousands of Israeli single moms. Enough’s enough. Up to 29 June, we were big-time Likudnikim [“Likud party supporters,” Hebrew] and voted for Bibi [Benjamin Netanyahu]. He gonna hear⟳ from me no more!”
