the Premier Example of Traitorous Democracy

The Likud is so funny. 
One minute they (Miki Zohar today, one of the Likud leaders) are saying the Likud is a democratic party, possibly the only democratic party in Israel, with real primaries. They take great pride in having primaries in which anybody can run, anyone can challenge the current leader (Benjamin Netanyahu), anyone can throw his hat in the ring and try to sway the people to let him or her lead them. So one minute they are saying very proudly how democratic the Likud is and that anyone who thinks they can beat Netanyahu should run against him in the primaries.
And the next minute they are saying that Yuli Edelstein, who tonight announced he will challenge Netanyahu in upcoming primaries, is a traitor to the Likud, shooting inside the tank while the Likud is fighting the evil government, Yuli might be abandoning the Likud, etc.
So you can and should run in primaries if you want to lead, you should challenge the leader, but if you do you are a traitor to the party, a backstabber and should be chased out of the party.
