Quote of the Day

On Thursday the Supreme Court is expected to invalidate Minister Deri from serving. This would be a scandalous decision that will end up costing lives - the armed forces have consulted with him on security matters for many years..
  -- Minister of Religious Affairs Michael Malkieli
By all accounts Deri is smart and an important figure and talented in many realms and even tempered. By no means is the lack of any one person from being available for consultations going to cost lives. The armed forces will do just fine without Deri, no matter how important he is and no matter how much he has contributed in the past.
I also think all the Shas people are on a reverse psychology campaign. They probably think that the more they accuse the supreme Court of invalidating Deri before it actually happens they will influence the court to go in the other direction and confirm his ability to serve in this capacity.
