Bad or worse? Laborites decide between Ayalon and Barak

A third of the Labor Party members intend to vote for Barak, despite his explicit corruption, shady businesses, mindless withdrawal from Lebanon, and giveaway of an offshore gas field to Arafat. It’s time to legally equate voting for Barak with state treason.
Ayalon, for his part, as a head of Shabak security service presided over the witch-hunt following Rabin’s assassination. Though critical of Sharon government’ demonizing the settlers, Ayalon supported the withdrawal from Gaza. Ayalon campaigns on the platform of establishing the Palestinian state.
