1. objectivity
mohson   (12.31.09)
The commentary on bibi and livni is so biased as to nullify the point of the article. Bibbi did not destroy himself and is not crooked. He is however insecure so he chased after the rotten mks in kadima who might leave. Bibi fears lieberman who is a natural, even if a bit too overblown, not a fake like most of the MKs. He says something to turkey eyeball to eyeball not the wimps olmert and livni and ben eliezer who sucked up to the foreign minister.Also, if beitenu walks away, bibi would like to replace them with kadima. This is not a good move at all. Bibi should stick to fundamental principles not convenient politics. You want defensive borders, you want parts of the judea, you don't give away golan etc, then you must hold to them. Livni would gi ve away most of what olmert offered except no right of return and perhaps no bridge across israel. But whatever you give back, arab demands go beyond that. So lieberman is correct. Bibbi has to maintain core demands so as not to be led by kadima into another gaza situation. You want that on the west bank and golan. Forget about it. Kadima are a bunch of sheep that sharon carried on his back to avoid being indicted by the AG.And they saty there and let olmert bungle almost everything he touched.

The filty dirty underhand world of Israeli politics.To hell with the people,the only considerations WHATS IN IT FOR ME??? From BIBI who has already sold his soul ,to the power seeking cowardly Barak to the lowest of the money grabbing extortionists. Livni only wants her name in the press daily,to hell with the electrate.The public do not accept any junk coming out of the present knesset eg Freeze. religion,security(IDF) whom has been split by Barak and co .commercial,(lies by fisher )protecting the corrupt banks etc etc.

7. I can't understand Bibi. I NEVER wanted a snake to curl
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.31.09)
around in my underwear. I NEVER wanted a communist to give me advice. I NEVER wanted to give away my best plans to someone who would use them against me and destroy the country. I just can't understand Bibi trying to force his head under the blade of the guillotine.
8. vitriolic and untrue article
eddie ,   london UK   (12.31.09)
There is no kadima unity - an Mofaz is being refused a meeting with dictatorial Livni. Kadima is a bi tliek the Iranian regime, it is founded by one dictatorial egomaniac, and then passed on to the next (who is arrested for bribery). Now Mrs Clean, is showing her true colours, and they are blinding her from seeing reality.
9. i think
nuha   (12.31.09)
kadima was to escape from right and left but as right and left did not solve the conflect escaping from both would not solve the conflect // but who govern is secondary to how to gover
10. Bibi true reason for courting Kadima is not to split it but.
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.02.10)
The author feels Bibi is opportunistically courting Kadima in order to split it and gratify his ego. Ego gratification may have alot to do with Bibi's conduct. However, his true reason for courting Kadima is not to split Kadima but to overwhelm his strong opposition within Likud with Kadima leftists, most of whom have already betrayed Likud. Kara is correct. There is NO place in Likud for Kadima traitors.
