Peretz’s Pickle

Amir Peretz is going to have a problem.

The first move his ~~convergence~~ ~~consolidation~~ capitulation government did this week was raise the price of bread! That’s right! This supposedly socially-concerned government which was supposed to put the poor first actually raised the price of the most basic staple the poor can buy.

The opposition is now setting up a no-confidence vote.

How will Amir Peretz vote?

For the government hurting the poor, or against the government and thus losing his job?

Interesting dilemma. I know he’ll get out of it, I’m just curious how.

(Actually Shas will probably cancel it just in the nick of time and save the day).
