If the Arabs like Tzipi and want her to be the next Israeli prime minister, then we shouldn't want her.

#1 - Try and think for yourself and not just in a knee-jerk reactionary way. Maybe if Arabs like her, common ground might be sought and peace agreements may be possible. While I do not fully trust the Palestinian leadership, more of the same is more of the same. I am relieved that Kadimah has finally thought outside of the box the current leadership has forced us to remain within. While I believe that an constructive agreement is possible, my scepticism needs to proven wrong. Go Livni

I FOR ONE SUPPORTED ABU ALI MOFAZ TO NEGOTIATE WITH ABU MAZEN ABBAS,ITHINK MY P A,ARE SEXIST

The pa is pleased? This tells us all we need to know. The roll over and play give away at all costs policies of the stoogemert era will continue, business as usual. The pa stands ready to take and take, with a smile a bloody knife behind their back!

This result was expected. A country is never a democracy when only 30000 of a country of several million voters vote for a leader. From one corrupted leader to another on. A puppet of Rice. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com

if the PA is happy she won, we r in deep trouble

Why is KAdima allowed to replace its leader? Surely the whole party should be held responsible for Israel current situation. Livni is at as much fault as Olmert with the failures of this current government. The whole political process here in Israel is a sham!

or, they dislike her, but they are glad another olmertist who will surrender israel is in power. Ther eis also a parallel with ehr and Golda Meir, who (again like olmert) refused to defend Israel in 1973, until they were brutally attacked on Yom Kippur. Same goes with Olmert who snoozed through all the kassams, and will be no different with Zippy, who will run to Condi or her replacement and cry with the next attack on israel, but wont have the balls to take any action.

Livni: #1 candidate of the ayatollahs.

YNET, the voice of palestinians .(and propaganda for them too) puh

#6, You're right. There is no democracy where a minority elects a new Prime Minister. There needs to be a change in the political system.

that an enemy of my enemy is my friend? kadima and tzipi is an enemy of Israel,therefore they are the friends of the palis.

Leaving a choice such as this to others at such a critical juncture is inexcusable. What if a coalition is formed and there is no general election? Being rid of Olmert doesn't mean that the successor will be good no matter the choice.

Anyone who hates Israel and wants to see it destroyed rejoices in Livni victory. Only Jews and those who love Israel want to see her go the same way her mentor, Olmert, has gone - out of power. We need a general election to get a real leader - Bibi - and to throw the Kadima Klowns out of power once and for all. Israel cannot survive more incompetence, corruption and cowardly actions by Kadima.
