Title: Israel's center
Published:
Date: Jan. 2006
About this cartoon: Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon bolted from the right-wing Likud party over dissention relating to the Gaza pullout, and announced a new political party, the centrist Kadima. Former Prime Minister Shimon Peres bolys from the left-wing Labor Party to settle into the middle with Sharon... unlikely political bedfellows, to be sure
Noteworthy: Drawn on Jan. 2, with Sharon leading in the polls, but scratched from publication following Sharon's massive cerebral hemmorhage and stroke.
