Tzalash

Tzalash

Tzalash ( _he. צל"ש, an acronym for "Tzionut Libraliot Shivion", ( _he. ציונות ליברליות שוויון) lit. "Zionism Liberalism Equality") was a one-man political faction in Israel.

Background

Tzalash was formed after MK and Infrastructure Minister Yosef Paritzky was expelled from Shinui in July 2004 after he had been caught attempting to shame Shinui's deputy leader Avraham Poraz; he had hired a private investigator to look into Poraz's affairs and "drop him in the dirt." [ [http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=528418 State drops case against former Shinui MK Paritzky] Haaretz, 18 January 2005] Paritzky's actions were investigated by the police, but charges were not brought.

Shinui attempted to have Paritzky expelled from the Knesset and replace him with another Shinui MK. However, the Knesset House Committee allowed him to retain his seat. [ [http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=528976 Panel refuses to expel Paritzky from Shinui] Haaretz, 19 January 2005] Paritzky then announced that he was forming his own party and would run in the 2006 elections, saying his goal was for Shinui "not to attain the minimum number of votes needed to get into the Knesset." [ [http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=664919 Ousted Shinui MK Paritzky to run for Knesset] Haaretz, 2 January 2006] Although it was possible for the faction to receive 600,000 shekels in electoral funding, Tzalash did not participate in the 2006 elections.

Despite Tzalash's demise, two of Paritzky's goals were realised; Poraz was defeated in Shinui's primary elections in January 2006, with Paritzky saying Poraz and party leader Tommy Lapid "should have been sent home long ago". [ [http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?apage=2&cid=1136361069988&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull Report: Poraz refuses offer to rejoin Shinui after quitting] Jerusalem Post, 12 January 2006] In addition, in the elections, Poraz's new party, Hetz, and Shinui both failed to win any seats.
