Labor Party Members -

It may be time to say enough. There is no political need for a party that has been my political home all my life, for whose values ​​I have voted and in their light.

My appeal is to those for whom these values ​​still have meaning: do not raise your hand over the party and do not connect with this evil government that does not need you anyway.

Your friend for years Ron Huldai.
