31. Livni
Yisraeli   (02.16.09)
has now made it abundantly clear to everyone that Kadimah is not a centrist party but a full blown leftist party. May its demise to come soon. Incredible how some people will never learn and go about repeating the same false nonsensical policies. I wonder how her father would feel about her today him being a true Likudnik. I dont think hes alive any longer.
32. #17---Bahrain
E ,   Canada   (02.16.09)
I hear you; you want equal rights just like in Bahrain or maybe like your big brother the other side of the causeway, right?
33. No Peace With Iran
USABorn   (02.16.09)
Giving up any more Israeli land will only bring the enemy closer. You can not buy peace with Iran. They have stated their goal and Israeli leaders should listen. These countries that are coming against you will not stop until they take you out of existence. That is their goal.
34. LIvni wants to always give away East Jerusalem and the Golan
Ken Jurist   (02.16.09)
This woman is a sicko who will surrender Israel's capital and the Jewish Golan. Netanyahu is a superior leader who has backbone and wont give up Jewish land.
35. livni and withdrawal
alexi   (02.16.09)
Faced with rockets from north and south, livni comes across lame, like an idiot. LKike pleasing the US will stop rockets falling on israel at ben gurion. She comes off as an idiot, like Olmerde. Wake up and get things in order. Also, pleasing the US should not be seen as to whether policy is good or not. Rather, jordan should withdraw from 1/3 of its territory as it belongs to israel and Syria should renounce its claim on golan as it is israeli.
36. Peace for peace, then land for peace.
David ,   Hartford USA   (02.16.09)
If the PA and Hamas can give Israel 5 years of absolute peace, only then can they begin to talk about giving up land. Maybe they will grow accustomed to peace and quiet. Maybe they will stop indoctrinating their children to hate Israel and love martyrdom. Maybe they will stop using their children as human shields. Maybe they will learn to love their children and want them to live instead of urging them to die. Maybe the world will no longer see Arab mothers kvelling that they only have 12 children to be used as suicide bombers. I doubt The PA and Hamas can turn off the hate they have so well engrained into their citizens. They have created a monster and it will take a generation to cleanse it out of their psyche- but only if they stop the brainwashing today, which they haven't. Why haven't the PA's and Hamas's 'educational' services been brought up on child abuse charges? Why does the world forgive the PA's and Hamas's atrocities against their own people? Hamas needs to be eradicated and the PA needs to clean up its act immediately, otherwise, land for peace will NEVER happen.
37. You Can Take A Jew Out Of The Ghetto
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (02.16.09)
But it is much harder to take the ghetto out of the Jew.Great idea,let us give away parts of our tiny country .The fact that it is slightly larger than a matchbox is killing the likes of Tzipi Livni who cannot sleep at nights because Israel is so huge after all.I use to thinh the enemy was Arafat,Hamas and Hizballah,now I believe Livni and her ilk are Israel's worst enemies.
38. Livni =Clueless And G-d less.
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (02.16.09)
39. Livni Is A Total Disaster For Israel
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (02.16.09)
She is ,after all ,the Queen of surrender.Her trouble is she simply has no Balls.
40. Livni Is Such A Hopeless Case,She Even
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (02.16.09)
Makes Mr.Olmert look like a Genius.Israel must be truly cursed to merit trash like Livni the surrender monkey.I make NO apology for my somewhat harsh and judgemental language.
41. they? who is they?
Asaf Golan ,   Sugar Land   (02.16.09)
if there is such a thing as "Palestinians" then there are no Israeli Arabs. And so whatever solution should include the eviction of all Arabs from Israeli territory. That is Ahmed Tibi, and Ahkmed from Tel Aviv. Asuf from Natzrat and sufa from Rahat. They should govern themselves in Gaza. (did I forget Muhammad from Jerusalem? Him too.) Stop playing this duplicitous game. You cannot have Arabs in Israel if we cede territory.
42. LIVNI is a radical left wing idiot!
GET REAL ,   USA   (02.17.09)
43. Give Back Livni's Home, With Her In It
(02.17.09)
44. The painful and unpleasant truth
Alexander ,   Herzliya, Israel   (02.17.09)
The truth is that most Israelis/Jews and most educated people abroad with deep and broad knowledge know of the Jewish/Israelite people's 4000 years of history in Israel. And as no "Palestinian" state has ever existed in recorded history, it stands to reason that the Arab population of Israel, Judea, Samaria and Gaza - illegal Arab immigrants and guest workers - came here 60-150 years ago, also as recently as in the 1930s and 1940s - with the good memory of the British colonialists that didn't mind that an Arab influx of population would destroy demographically the reestablished Israel - it stands to reason, that Arabs don't own the land of Israel - in the same way as illegal immigrants or guest workers from Asia and Africa are not the natives or the historical owners of Europe. International Law does not recognize Judea, Samaria and Gaza as "occupied" but rather as "Res Nullius" - "No Man's Land" - because in modern days, the Jewish state has not annexed the territories, Jordan has no claims on Judea and Samaria and Egypt has no claims on Gaza and no "Palestinian" state existed in 1967, 1948, 100, 500, 1000, 5000 years ago or 4 billion years ago, so therefore Israel is not "occupying" anything. It stands to reason that the Arab population is hostile and anti-Semitic and they drain the hearts, energy and resources of Israel - violating our historical homeland and posing a demographic and territorial-strategical threat to our existence - which is the very purpose to the existence of PLO and "Palestinians". Liberman, Netanyahu and Livni may try to appease the world and give away land for political reasons rather than for legal, moral and historical reasons and Lieberman may wish to redraw the border to maximize Jews and maximize land and cede minimal territory with maximum amount of Arabs to have pretty safe borders with an overwhelming majority of Jews - it's good as a starters. But, the sad truth is that Arabs will always hate Israel and always use violence against Israel, so it doesn't really matter if Israel does what Lieberman wants - the threat on the other side of the border will always be there - their intentions to destroy us with rewriting of 4000 years of Jewish history, boycotts or urging the world to boycott us, directing terrorist attacks on us and violating our territorial integrity and attacking our citizens -will result in - unavoidably - in Israel having to destroy the Arab enemy in Gaza, Judea and Samaria and annex the lands. Maybe it will take 5, 10, 20 or 50 years. But sooner or later Israel will have to destroy the enemy - permanently. Just wait and see.
45. Important Message To Mrs Livni
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (02.17.09)
On the remote chance that you read this Message,or shall one say the remotest chance: Dear Mrs Livni,You are too much of a Pussy-cat to ever be a Leader of Israel.You can only be a Charlatan,a Fraud,a poor imitation of a leader.It is a pity you never remained a secretary or a humble Housewife.Your ego is on the loose.Please do Israelis a huge favour,since you are a fearful Atheist,fearful of the likes of Tony the phony Blair and Javier Solana,instead of fearing the Almighty himself,please follow the paths of your fellow idiotic Israelis and go to India or Goa and dance on the beach while stoned on hallucigens or piss off to Thailand and stay there.You are NOT NEEDED HERE.Thank you and please do as you are told.
46. Israel Belongs To All Jews In The World
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (02.17.09)
NOT to YOU Livni.Livni is a stupid ,arrogant Ignoramus who will be the Death of Israel if unchecked.She is not "The right stuff" .She has not got what it takes.She is a BS merchant like the rest of the political trash.
47. #5 She Is Not Even A Fool
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (02.17.09)
.Livni is several levels below a Fool.She ASPIRES to be a fool.
48. A better idea.
David ,   USA, exile   (02.17.09)
Give up Livni. Take back Gaza. Take back Lebanon. Take back Jordan. Take back Sinai. But first, T'SHUVAH.
49. what's the difference between livni and olmert? nothing
amymarkell ,   usa   (02.17.09)
50. Israel rejected piece now but not tomorrow.she is delusional
Jay ,   Toronto, Canada   (02.17.09)
Half Kadima will defect to Likud. Israel rejected piece now for no peace later. Livme alone &1701 only allowed Hizbully to re-arm. Livme alone in the opposition with half her caste is a good place for those who would divide Jerusalem and leave Golan for any reason much less a worthless peace of paper. I think she is delusional
51. Livni's ideas are foreign to Judaism
Debra ,   UK   (02.17.09)
A Jewish state requires to obey a Jewish Law, not to defy it.!The nations are reluctant to grant recognition to Jewish holiness, this is the reason Israel has not got the Holy Land. Israel must ,therefore, demand recognition.
52. Livni Is A Ghetto Jew
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (02.17.09)
How this small minded intellectual midget loves the Ghetto; the smaller the better. Israel 9 miles wide? that is 8 miles too big for dippy Tzippy.
53. she is a dangerous lunatic.
debra ,   usa   (02.17.09)
54. livini has been bribed and bought off by israel's enemies..
debra ,   usa   (02.17.09)
55. Real Jews know G-d gave Israel to the Jews, not terrorists.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (02.17.09)
56. Palestinian Kingdom of Jordan!!!
z, the monarchist ,   Medinat Yehuda   (02.17.09)
57. Lieberman wants Livni to be PM, I tried to warn his voters
Jason ,   sderot israel   (02.17.09)
Lieberman is now forming a bloc with Livni to block the right wing bloc. I told lieberman voters that lieberman wanted to give away jerusalem. I told them that he propped up olmert's kadima government after the failed lebanon war. Livni is doing nothing about the tunnels but lieberman has this obsession with conversions that precedes everything else even though it was way on the list for his voters. He makes it like his voters are demanding this. Lieberman doesn't know it but he will lose the vast majority of his voters. At least 75 percent of his voters wanted bibi over livni. How is lieberman going to get 30 seats next election. The left will never vote for him. He will be a candidate without voters.
58. You must give up all of Palestine
Micha   (02.17.09)
60 years of occupation must end. The only way to have peace now is to return Palestine to her rightful owners. The settlers must leave Palestine.
59. Ideas?
Thundercloud65 ,   Oklahoma City USA   (02.17.09)
All I ever see when I drop in is such personal criticism of anyone and everyone. Ideas seem in very short supply in the land of Israel. I have a question, what will you do when the Arab population in your nation exceeds that of the Jewish citizens? Do you have a plan? Or is it preferable to sit on your tush and whine at the moon?
60. Give up Half the Land of Israel..
P. Pachecos ,   Calgary, Canada   (02.17.09)
Have we learned nothing from giving up Gaza? While I don't consider Gaza part of 'the Land of Israel', Palestinians currently running the place demonstrated with crystal clarity what the Land of Israel means to these murderers. NO MORE LAND giveaways for peace or any other illusion, Ms Livni! In fact Jerusalem should be fully annexed by Israel as a matter of urgency.
