Last Exit Before the Ayalon

With the demise of Amir Peretz, the frontrunner for leadership of the Labor party appears to be Ami Ayalon.

For those who worry about the future of Israel as a Jewish state a picture paints a thousand words.

Consider the genteel countenance of Golda Meir.

She looked every bit the kindly grandmother of the Jewish nation.


And the face of Menachem Begin, every bit the Jew.

As proud of his heritage as he was determined to defend it with his life.

And now take a long look at Ami Ayalon.

A face that seems to come out of a Science Fiction movie.

Could this ever be the face of Israel?
