Whether that's good or bad doesn't matter as far as I am concerned. Simply, it is refreshing to see a man stand by his beliefs and not take bribes, threats or political appointments instead of standing by his views.<BR/>I don't believe his views are the same as Yisrael Beteinu. Landau doesnt stand against compromise. He stands against compromise when in fact there is no Palestinian reciprocity.<BR/>Thanks for your comment - how's Aussie?Michael Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11812608992006091115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12814990.post-1134085210742099672005-12-09T01:40:00.000+02:002005-12-09T01:40:00.000+02:00Whilst Uzi landau did stand for his principles, he...Whilst Uzi landau did stand for his principles, he was also responsible for destroying the likud. The rebels may have wanted to stop the disengagement, but they ended up stopping the likud from being a political force. Their actions in not supporting their won party, in not seizng the moment of opportunity, was their loss. I think they should all abandon likud and just join yisrael beituni. They are essentially the same party now.Ittayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02508597128498611055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12814990.post-1134070143506622002005-12-08T21:29:00.000+02:002005-12-08T21:29:00.000+02:00I'm back in town after two weeks in the media dese...I'm back in town after two weeks in the media desert, and KICblog is helping me catch up with the mess that is our beloved political system.ifyouwillit...https://www.blogger.com/profile/12399924134798730080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12814990.post-1133945927105388912005-12-07T10:58:00.000+02:002005-12-07T10:58:00.000+02:00I agree totally with your assessment, and the sad ...I agree totally with your assessment, and the sad but real fact is that he will never make the upper echelons of power because he seeks a goal and not power for power's sake like so many others.<BR/>The cut-throat way that some of our politicos will attach their mast to any flavour of the week that they think will give them success means that people like Landau will be left out in the cold.<BR/>As a Likud member I am really in a bind as to who to vote for in the primaries. Mofaz, Shalom and Bibi are all politicians that seem to sway in the wind or in Shalom's case, stay low under the radar so you won't be tainted with anything. Landau should be a rallying call for all true Likudniks as he essentially represents the platform. The others, one feels, will do a Sharon at the drop of a hat.<BR/>I want to know that when I drop my ballott into the box, the manifesto (not person) that I voted for will be implemented if that party attains power. That is the essence of democracy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
