1. 23,000 pills, thats alot of drugs
Jason Fine ,   USA   (11.26.08)
2. Livni has her priorities confused.
Avi   (11.26.08)
Livni, why dont you leave those idiots to pay for what they did and concentrate on Shalit instead.
3. Drug Dealers
Hal Gutterman ,   Palm Desert, CA   (11.26.08)
Everyone knows that Israelis control the ectasy markets in Europe and the U.S. Israel has changed significantly since 1978 when I immigrated there to work for the State of Israel. In those days I had to subsidize my salary but I was happy to do this although I was called a "friar". Now you have mobsters and criminals on an international scale filling us with drugs, pornography and massive frauds to our Medicare system. Ben-Gurion would roll over in his grave to see what is happening now. The PM should spend her time freeing our soldiers from captivitiy. We have no right to interfere with the harsh drug laws of other countries like Turkey, Taiwan or Thailand. This is a necessary price to pay in order to make it safer for all our children
4. so LIVNI does not about shalit, what did she do 4 him?
NOTHING   (11.26.08)
5. The Thai king must understand what at stake here
Frank ,   USA   (11.26.08)
There are many Jews in America who would not be happy.
6. Leave Them There
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (11.26.08)
The Thais will commute the death sentence and 20 years in a Thai prison seems about right for the amount of drugs they were caught with. They did the crime. They can do the time.
7. re 2
David   (11.26.08)
This has nothing to do with Gilad Shalit. You're just trying to score a cheap political point, and you know it (this is not coming from a fan of Kadima, just so you know). As someone who is generally opposed to the death penalty, and especially for any crime not directly involving the taking of human life, I hope she succeeds.
8. Israel owes them nothing
Stephen ,   New York   (11.26.08)
criminals, jewish or not, deserve punishment.
9. Lesson: Israeli Drug Dealers Should Avoid Thailand
Jeff ,   The USA   (11.26.08)
The guilt, should the mother of the convicted drug dealer die over the news, will fall only upon the convicted drug dealer himself, not those who tried and convicted the criminal for his crime. Drugs kill people and destroy lives of many more, so I have no sympathy for the criminals or objection to their sentence.
10. Livni is on those pills.
Jewish Refugee ,   U.S.A.   (11.26.08)
Based on what has happend over the past years one can only say that Livni and her party were on drugs possibly those pills. That is why she trying to free those people instead of Shalit because she does not want to get back into the reality. Reality is that Israel in a grave danger.

11. Thailand
Meir ,   Arad   (11.26.08)
What the heck were they doing in Thailand anyway. Why will anybody go there for ? There is a shortage of beaches in Israel?
12. Fewer drug dealers if the death penalty was in force.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.26.08)
Some times some people need to pay the price, drugs like ecstasy kill people. This is no street corner dealer of marijuana.
13. Livni and drug pushers
DT ,   TA Isr   (11.26.08)
Typical Livni. She does not think how many deaths and lives the drug peddlers kill and destroy. So message to Thailand : ". Execute them and do tiquickly " . They won't be missed.
14. Not death - but certainly a harsh punishment
Kim ,   Israel   (11.26.08)
or it will not act as a deterent for future drug dealers. The line that 'I was set up' is wearing very thin. The are all 'set up'. 23,000 Ectasy pills could cause the death of many young kids.
15. she goes the extra mile for the pushers
JL ,   israel   (11.26.08)
but we have not seen or heard her act much for shalit...oh i forgot...someone else must be taking care of that problem
16. By the looks of her ugly sour ......................
Gerrald Wachshaw   (11.26.08)
countenance, it would appear Livni ha overdosed a few times !
17. Hot Water eh?
(01.30.09)
I'M really sorry he is short on hot water!
