Pnina Rosenblum , New Colour to the Knesset
It was refreshing to watch Pnina Rosenblum make her first speech as MK yesterday. She seems to attract animosity and ridicule from every direction. Even from women journalists, I heard one this morning on TV, criticising about the fact that she was photographed before swearing in, having her hair done, and that she owns a Mercedes car. Others complained that she would only be working for a few days and getting all the benefits of an MK. Many chuckled as she made her speech, and she was interrupted in the middle of it. I can only say that this hard working lady, has given many families a living, from the media, to those working for her, and those selling her many products. She has worked hard to become a member of the Knesset ,MK. I am fed up with the likes of MK Omri Sharon who is possibly going to prison after admitting guilt to charged offences, or any of the other corrupt cronies that are Knesset members that have been found guilty of illegal offences, or listening to those that shout and swear abusive language at each other, during Knesset debates. The Knesset is filled with a great variety of Israeli's, from religious to secular, from Arabs to Jews, men and women, and from all political points of view. I can only say that this beautiful lady has painted a shining colour against the background of such a ponderous and often unshaven rabble that scream and insult each other during daily debate, and I hope that this lovely blond lady will succeed in offering a different approach to such a dull and sad clique, and she will prove to be a truly charming example of hard work, honesty and good manners , an icon of colourful light, an example to all.
