1. Netanyahu-once a sleaze always a sleaze
PJ ,   nj,us   (12.12.08)
Netanyahu acts as if he runs the Kremlin.He is more dangerous than Livni,at least she is not as corrupt as the sleazemaster.
2. Pride before the fall
Yisraeli   (12.12.08)
Bibi smirk while you can your position in the likud is not stronger but weaker showing your true ugly face. Any respect anyone may have had for you is lost. You think youve won the war by stacking the deck, youve only won one little battle but you will lose one day to Feiglin or another for you have shown everyone you are not a worthy leader but one who is only concerned with his own ego and pride. You wont last.
3. FEIGLIN: DO SOMETHING!- EARN YOUR LEADERSHIP! STAND UP MAN.
Jae ,   Lynn   (12.12.08)
If you dont, all your talks are wisps of thin air. They mean nothing. I have organized almost 2,000 dollars towards your election, and I am far from alone. If you passively sit back thinking that Bibi will like you now, that you martyry yourself "for the good of the Likud" or that this is a good thing that you have gone from 12th to 20 th to 36th you are MISTAKEN. I dont see any Chelm-ite in you, so dont suddenly prove me wrong now. To say I am incredulous with Bibi, the Likud, and Your weak kneed response is the understatement of all existence. EARN our support of you. If you do nothing you will no longer be supported by my family and the majority of your support will dissapate away. This is a scandal bar none from Bibi. And you sir should have pre empted. You look like an amateur if you do nothing but beg fro crumbs. Sorry to be harsh, but your in a position to lead Israel and you need truth, not someone to kiss your rear...
4. Michael Ratzon- we stand behind you in your obligation to
Jae ,   Lynn USA   (12.12.08)
fight this tyrannical, bolshevick, weaselish, Olmert-esque, move by bibi. Dont let feiglin be passive. He needs to stand up too. I dont care if the supreme court is meretz in disguise and you wont win. You will generate more support in the hearts and minds of Israelis. You will STAY on the medias front page and in the end it will help you far far more than getting royally punked by bibi.
5. NETANYAHU proved himself a low life slime!
GET REAL ,   USA   (12.12.08)
NO one with any integrity would vote for Likud. Likud party is totally corrupt! This is the same type of action Likud did to derail the great Rabbi Meir Kahane manipulated by Shamir when he was PM! ISRAEL is doomed!
6. Desecration of Democracy
john   (12.12.08)
It Is A Must To Fight The Forces of Wrong the Fault is all theirs
7. Capitulation...
Matthew ,   U.S.A.   (12.12.08)
As usual, Bibi and the others only care about themselves and not the future of Israel. I am not even Jewish and I see Israel going down the drain. Sad, sad, sad. The only true people I have ever encountered who truely care about Israel's future is the settlers. Israel no longer stands for anything. Every few years I visit Israel. And each visit I see more crime, more Aliyah of people who do not really care to be Israeli and less patriotism. Israel has forgotten the Holocaust and the billion plus enemies of the state of Israel. feiglin would be good for Israel. He will not capitulate to the World and arabs.
8. Bibi is and always be an adulter.
JMK ,   NYC   (12.12.08)
9. POLITICAL THUGERY
USA   (12.12.08)
These people have no shame, no honor, no pride.
10. Fascism will not triumph
Michael ,   Yerushalayim   (12.12.08)
Shame on you Bibi, you morally-bankrupt fascist pig .... You will not triumph!
11. SAME OL BIBI
Yakov   (12.12.08)
Democracy at its finest. The ppl choose Feiglin but Bibi gets his way. I pray that netenyahu never becomes Pm.
12. Clear message that Likud doesn't want our support
Ilan ,   Ariel   (12.12.08)
The Likud has sent a clear message that the national religious public has no place in it' ranks nor has any reason to support them. It has also shown that democracy is not part of their ideology. In the end this move will hurt the Likud since the logical conclusion will be that it is not willing to lead a public faithfully. Netanyahu is simply another Sharon, albeit less accomplished.
13. so i guess bibi is a scumbag too
nate ,   Canada   (12.12.08)
14. Instead of Likud, vote Jewish National Front!!!
Adi Meir ,   Lod, Israel   (12.12.08)
Bullies of Likud, Meretz & Kadima understand only brutal force. Bullets, molotovs & lead pipes!
15. Sleeping soundly? Not quite.
Gideon Reader   (12.12.08)
I do not know that I would pull the covers over my head and fluff the pillow quite yet. There *are* monsters that can disturb the sleep of the most secure polititurd.(an expression I have personally coined, and have never used towards the parties of the right, until this moment.) The pantheon of Horrbilus Monsterum are awaiting the dreams are of Bibi's own construction. A sabre toothed Feiglin. A hydra headed Moshe . A many voted Manhigut Yehudit zombie exists only because Bibi feeds it. Better to sit with the dread monster Feiglin and discuss the areas wherein Bibi and Moshe agree, that to try to brown nose a single vote from the great unwashed and long time disappointed electorate, by making believe the Likud is a moderate-middle of the road party, whose raison d'etre is to make nice and seek a bi-national state with the Palestinians. Be yourself and be true to your beliefs. To do otherwise is to give votes to the proven incompetents of Kadima. And it also shows no class. This stinking maneuver is the stuff of bolsheviks, not the party of Begin and Jabotinsky.
16. I urge everyone not to vote for BIBI!!
Avraham Shlomo ,   Los Angeles   (12.12.08)
I used to be a strong Bibi supporter. Now I know Feiglin is better than him and he is afraid of Feiglin. I expected Begin and the rest of the Ëretz Yisrael lovers" on his list to support and defend Feiglin. None did!! Shame on them all.
17. and raised the flag of surrender and appeasment
Marcel ,   Florida   (12.12.08)
The united Israeli front, Kadima,Labor,Likud all follow the final solution road Map and no dissent or resistance is permitted.
18. Bibi lost a voter
eliezer ,   jerusalem   (12.12.08)
I was a Likud voter since I could remember, but after this, I can't bring my self to vote for him of for his cruel dishonest party. To have such hatred for Feiglin is more than I can vote for. Good bye Bibi from a loyal Likud voter.
19. Likud wants to stay small?
Rafi Goldmeier ,   Bet Shemesh, ISrael   (12.12.08)
I don't get it. Likud has polls showing 35 seats and is in an upward direction. Is Bibi hoping that the Likud gets no more than 35 seats? Is he goign to start doing things that will attract no more voters, so as to keep Feiglin out? Because if he keeps getting poll results with more seats, Feiglins spot will still be realistic. Is he hoping to keep the Likud small in order to keep Feiglin out?
20. Predictable demonization of Bibi Ynet were on to you!
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (12.12.08)
A little remark taken out of context, little horns here and there. Weve seen it all before.. Y dont you come up with a better, more realistic platform yourself.
21. Winning strategy: Fire the frontrunners
Adam Eliyahu Berkowi   (12.12.08)
It seems that the problem Bibi has with Feiglin is that he is unpopular with the left. So what is the problem with that? Feiglin has stronger support that Bibi. No one likes Bibi, but he wins because he at least makes funny sounds that make him seem not entirely left wing. The majority of the country is sick to hteir stomach of Peres, Olmert, Barak, and all of the old school wannbes. But we aren't being offered any right wing candidates. And when we are, they get spit out by the twisted system. It seems logical (and democratically correct) that the candidates higher up on the roster should be the ones garnering the most votes. It also seems like it would be a simple, logical, strategy for success. For some reason, Israeli politicians manage to ignore popular opinion and still get elected. Bibi is firing the stronger candidate as a strategy to get elected.
22. There goes my vote!
Tamar ,   Israel   (12.12.08)
After this disgusting move, I refuse to vote for the clearly undemocratic Likud. Feiglin should start his own party.
23. Exaltation?. Triumph? Hardly.
Gideon Reader   (12.12.08)
Vanquishment of an enemy? Or a difference of approach and viewpoint of two individualt whose main interest if the safety and security of the Jewish state? I sincerely wish that the overheated verbiage is that of the professional corp of journalists and not the closely held beliefs of the Likud chairman. That oisition would not bode well for him as a representative of the nationalist camp, not as a person. What should have brought happiness and pleasure, has yielded a sour oror and a bitter taste. Any needlessly.
24. Likud
Michael ,   Haifa   (12.12.08)
If that's the way the Likud runs itself, just imagine the horrors of it running the country
25. Netanyahu and his likes are dead trees with dry leaves!
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (12.12.08)
They must get out! Enough of dirty politics! It is about the time for realistic and human bent politics. Tricks and deceives are just filthy past! NETANYAHU IS PAST!!!!
26. #18 Bibi gained a voter
Reuven ,   Petach Tikvah   (12.12.08)
27. DIRTY TRICKS
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (12.12.08)
Leave it up to mr Bibi to pull an fast one,being the snake he is, so who to vote for ? It does not seem to make any difference who to vote for , they all want to be in the center giving away our land. The Jewish home party is already an failure by infighting and a clear program. If our enemies had any sense , they would sit back and let us tear apart our land. What a mess , it is indeed a scary prospect to get Bibi back in the PM seat, he is more dangerous then all the other rifraf put together. Maybey I will end up voting labor , at least I know they only talk and nothing else gets done. There is no reason to become a party member , because even those votes do not mean anything. It seems that on every level off government , even the in the smallest villages , everyone is turning into little dictators , screwing everybody with disregard to any law and order.
28. The Feiglin Threat
Jose' ,   Israel   (12.12.08)
Some justify sending Feiglin to obscurity by pointing out the threat to the new image the Likkud (Bibi) is attempting to project to the masses. Since Feiglin is candid about his views regarding Eretz Yisrael, the rivals to the Likkud will attempt to convince the public that Likkud=Feiglin and vice versa. If the Likkud has to spend the days before the election on the defensive, their chances of winning the elections are nil. But the real threat of Feiglin is poised against Bibi personally. Nothing less than the ouster of Bibi as party leader and his replacement by Feiglin. While there are others in the Likkud who aspire to the same goal, none are as open about it as Feiglin. Any rational politician would have done the same as Bibi. Yes it was a trick, but it wasn't dirty.
29. ביבי? אני לא מאמין לו!
(12.12.08)
ביבי אני לא מאמין בך יש לך רק אינטרס אחד להיות ראש ממשלה
30. Bibi's a leftist. Always has been. He gave away Hevron also.
Moses   (12.12.08)
