"I would like to say to the Prime Minister, just like Jethro advised Moses to leave Egypt, so too we advise you to abandon the disengagement program."

-- MK Ayoub Kara (Likud), speaking with non-Jewish members of the Likud Party last week at a gathering in honor of Rosh HaShanah and the victory of the disengagement-opponents in the Likud referendum. Kara is a member of the Druze religion, which regards Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, as their chief prophet. The Torah records that Jethro advised Moses only on the implementation of an efficient court system.
