::::Broadway sure has a lot to learn from Israeli politicians about showmanship and acting, that's for sure. Did you hear about Sharon and Peres' joint 17-billion shekel plan for the Negev? The last grand attempt in taming the wildreness by the last great Mapaynikim. Yet somehow, I strongly suspect that quite a few "unrecognized" Bedouin villages (some of which were in existence before the pre-independence era) will fall victim to that programme (i.e. recolcated to the appropriate reservations).
