What’s Hebrew for Non-Starter?

Filed under: Israel — Eric J @ 4:10 pm

Olmert’s final status plan has been leaked to the press. It calls for a divided Jerusalem, with Israel controlling the Old City.

Personally, I think he just wants to get his first no-confidence vote out of the way.

  1. I am continually surprised that there has been no coup d’etat in Israel over the past few years. Foreign enemies are circling. The economy is re-structuring (for the better, but it is at a vulnerable point). The Italian-style government (representation by ideologies) doesn’t work all that well, and its partners that bicker constantly until bought off with the taxpayers’ shekels. In Latin America, Africa, Turkey or France, a coup and a declaration of a new order would be expected. However, in Israel, there is just a shrug. For now.

  2. Sounds like Kadima is taking advice on what to propose from the ghost of Yasir Arafat. I would exprct that the next step would be to put Abbas in charge of the Israeli “negotaiting” team.

  3. Ask, Meryl, and you shall know:

    The Hebrew for “non-starter” is “tokhnit avur” or “ra’ayon avur.” Sorry, but I don’t have the ability (or knowledge) to write Hebrew here.

  4. Alex, I didn’t ask. You have to start looking at the bylines. I have co-bloggers now, remember?

    It was Eric who asked.

  6. It’s your blog, Meryl, and I hold you responsible for what’s on it. See…you try to help some bloggers and all you get is corn.
