The captain has to go

By Yoel Marcus



It's not an easy thing to say that the prime
minister is at a crossroads, fast approaching his
last stop. It's no lightheaded matter to say that
the prime minister, wildly applauded at the
opening of the General Assembly of the United
Jewish Communities of North America now in session
in Jerusalem, has failed in his job of leading the
country.



But these nice people from the
GA will be going home in a
few days and the problem will
remain in our laps - a prime
minister with no vision, no
plan, no horizon; a prime
minister who has brought the
country to where it is now
and stands at a critical
juncture where he is doing

more harm than good, no longer capable or
worthy of manning the controls.

From this omelet, we'll never get an egg.

At the end of Sharon's third year in office,
Israel's standing - here and abroad - has taken
a turn for the worse. At various symposia, the
question of whether its establishment was a
mistake has become a popular topic. From the
first intifada, waged with stones and
slingshots, we have reached the point where
people are asking if Israel will still be a
Jewish state 30 years from now. Surveys in
Europe show that Israel is perceived as a
threat to world peace, the root of the problem.
It's only a matter of time before it is saddled
with all-out responsibility for global terror.
