Hint : I'm not sure at all 'cos I have no culture, but I think it was Georges Mendel, a 3rd Republic politician who said "la politique c'est comme les andouillettes, il faut que ça sente la merde, mais pas trop" (politics are like the andouillettes sausages, it must smell like sh*t, but not too much); this was to describe the 3rd, and I think israeli politics are much like the 3rd (parliamentarism, ad hoc coallitions, dirty infighting).
