The best show in town tonight: the municipality meeting in Tel Aviv. The council meets in the round on the stage of the Einav Center, and above and around it is the cheering jeering audience. It was like the colliseum, and the crowds want most of the gladiators dead. When Dov Hanin walked in, applause broke out. When Yael Dayan was nominated to lead the meeting, boos filled the room. Okay, the peanut gallery was packed with Hanin kids, but the lack of trust in government was palpable, the feeling that the leadership can’t be trusted in any way.
