Passing of the Old Guard
Feb 19th, 2008 |
Peres watches Castro’s resignation and says: “So soon?”
Thanks to Sol Salbe for this Haaretz cartoon. For a little background–Castro’s 50 years of leadership of Cuba compares favorably (or not depending on your point of view) with Peres’ similar longevity in Israeli politics. Don’t you think it’s time for all those Birthright and AIPAC missions to hear from some new voices other than the same old tired ones of the Old Guard like Peres, Netanyahu, et al?

And how about new voices of leadership in the US - like Barack Obama, instead of another Clinton or a McCain :)

Unfortunately for Cuba and Cubans, the younger voice in this case means Roul Castro…. oy.
