No one wants to be in Bibi's gang
Article Abstract:
There is growing opposition to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In particular, he is being challenged by a new centrist party seeking to prevent his re-election. He has responded by depicting the centrists as 'left,' indicating that they lack patriotic spirit. He has also been critical of western Jews, whom he claims have been in control for too long and are not willing to make way for others. He claims that his coalition has boosted the power of the oriental Jews and of the Russian immigrants and the Orthodox.
