Besides, Rabbi Mazuz, Rabbi Yaakov Yosef, Rav Ovadia's oldest son also urges Shas to leave the gov't.

How can we remain Silent when our brothers and our lives are on the line?

Earthquake Damages Temple Mount and Shechem

So far there have been Tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes.....
 
To read a thorough explanation of walking in happenstance, KERI with Hashem please read the post.  What does it take us to finally speak up?

Parshat Behar-Bechukotai
May 4, 2002

As the Book of Vayikra, the book of sanctity, draws to a close, the Torah delineates the consequences of obedience and disobedience to Hashem's will. This is the Tochechah, the passage of admonition (chapter 26) that concludes the covenant of Sinai. If the people embrace Hashem's commands, the land will be blessed with prosperity, security and peace (verses 3-13). Conversely, rejecting Hashem's edicts will result in the curses of disease (verses 16-17), famine (verses 18-20), wild beasts (verses 21-22), war (verses 23-26), destruction and exile (verses 27-39).

The purpose of these warnings is to stir the people to repentance. If the people do not heed the warnings, then the disasters become increasingly more dire.

Unique to this chapter is the word KERI, appearing a significant seven times - and nowhere else in Tanach - at transition points in this passage:
And if you walk with Me KERI, and you will not desire to listen to Me, then I will add against you a plague, seven times your sins (26:21).
Malbim (R. Meir Leib ben Yechiel Michael, 1809-1877) notes that KERI is first mentioned after the two warnings of disease and famine. Upon the determining third occasion of disregarding Hashem's punishment, there follows the plague of wild beasts:....

Food for Thought- Is the voice of the people properly represented.

bs"d
 
The uniqueness of Israeli democracy:
We have Mr Olmert acting as prime minister - mind: he was not elected by the people into that office - although he himself is aware of, even said, that the majority of the people does not agree with him.
Every dictator, even monsters like Hitler and Stalin, claimed the support of at least 80-90% of their people.
True, he was elected by the Knesset into that office.
Remain two questions:
 Whom do the members of the Knesset represent?
 What is democracy?
 
additional question that I have for those in the USA.  Does the voice of the Conference of Presidents and IPA properly represent the voice of the Jewish Community? R. Ticker
