I’m open to additional suggestions… Send them in…

The image we used here repeatedly was shot by miriam Alster/FLASH90.

For footnotes, look below…


1. Arthur J. Finkelstein is the New York-based political consultant who told Netanyahu and Liberman they would get 50 seats if they ran together as one faction. Oy…

2. Former Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman is facing corruption charges which could land him outside of politics and inside a minimum security cell.

3. Yair Shamir is Liberman’s No. 2 who would become his party’s leader should Liberman not extract himself from his legal troubles.

4. The charges against Liberman are that he illegally promoted an underling to the post of Ambassador to Belarus.
