NU-YB Calling to Dissolve Knesset

With Ben-Eliezer destroying Jewish homes and planning to create a terrorist refuge in the holy city of Hebron, and Arik Sharon negotiating with the PLO terrorists, National Union is rightfully calling for new elections. It is time for this madness to stop. When we elected Sharon, we did not realize that decisions would be made according to the hysterical whims of the deranged lunatic left. I have called in the past to show patience with Sharon, but with settlements being uprooted and Ben-Eliezer planning to sacrifice the children of Hebron to his re-election schemes, I feel that we can not be patient in the face of such an onslaught against Eretz Israel and the Jewish people. It is time to elect a right-bloc government without the participation of the Oslo traitors. I still believe Ariel Sharon’s long term goals are sound, but I can not support a coalition which threatens to undermine all of the progress we have made against the terrorist menace in Yesha.
(IsraelNN.com) The National Union-Yisrael Beitenu faction of the Knesset is calling to dissolve the Knesset within 90 days and move to elections. The opposition faction cites the government's failures in the security, economic, and employment spheres for its decision.
