Rambamming Pays Off in Victoria

You know what cynical voters say: Whoever you vote for, a politician always gets in. In the wake of the Victorian state election, maybe that should be amended to read: Whoever you vote for, a Zionist always gets in:

"The Victorian Labor Party under Daniel Andrews will form a new state government. It is particularly noteworthy that they have a distinguished track record of friendship and support for the Victorian Jewish community; and the state of Israel. Long before it was clear that he had strong prospects of election, Premier-elect Daniel Andrews is [sic] one of many Victorian Labor MPs who visited Israel in 2013*... on Dan Andrews' return, the then-Opposition Leader expressed admiration for Israel's innovation, calling it 'a place built on endeavour and courage'..." (New government for Victoria, Michael Danby, jwire.com.au, 2/12/14)
