It turns out that Ibenboim's political career was very short-lived. And it is a shame why.
Ibenboim announced that she has to step down, and it is because while she had the drive to help the city and people through the Jerusalem City Council, some people decided to threaten her and her family, get her kids thrown out of school, banish her from the community and ruin her life. Being that politics was a means and not an end, it is not worth sacrificing herself and her family for that.
What a shame that a person who wants to help others has to be stopped like that. Each person can help in their own way, why must such a person be threatened and have to decide whether to sacrifice so much in order to help.. why do people feel threatened by someone who wants to help to the point that they need to threaten them? There is something wrong with this system..
I say let whoever wants to give up of himself or herself for the community do so. If you dont like her, or him, don't vote for her, but dont stop her from trying to help in her way.
