Kill me with a kiss

Kill me with a kiss

When Justice Minister Haim Ramon was a young member of the labor party he was considered to be one of the promising leaders of the dovish wing of this party. Many Arab members of the same party saw in him a friend of this sector and supported him in the elections. My position was like many other Palestinians, that there’s no real difference, not only between right and left Zionism (Labor vs. Likkud) but also between the so called hawk and dovish wings inside the labor party. Facts prove that we are right. Ramon, Pertz, Metzna’ are only a few examples.
Now Ramon is in Kadema Party, and he’s the justice minister. He is indicted of sexual harassment. He’s suspected of kissing a young woman who works at a government ministry on her mouth against her will.
a Few weeks ago he was interrogated for more than 7 hours by the police. The interrogation hasn't finished yet but police sources say that there’s a strong case, and that he would be convicted in this case.A Few days later the government general attorney Mazuz asked him to stop handling professional issues in his office, like approval pardons and appointing new judges.
Meanwhile, the war broke out in Lebanon. And the justice minister became a blood thirsty hawk. In every occasion he declares that the Israeli army should continue the war, no ceasefire is acceptable and the full achievements of all goals, he criticized the army that they don’t use enough power. He demanded to destroy complete villages by air and only then to let ground troops enter.
Does he do that to let the Israelis forget or forgive his kiss? Is that a message to that woman to withdraw her accusation against him? Or maybe it’s an attempt to influence the police and later the judges to have mercy on him? Maybe we need a professional psychologist to analyze this case?
Until then thousands of Lebanese people have to pay expensive price for the kiss of Ramon.
