1. building Israel zionist special god is the golden calf
Seehell   (01.31.10)
2. No confusion-If no peace then Land of Israel vision
Sam ,   Canada   (01.31.10)
Netanyahu is aware enough to understand that most Jews favour a vision of peace with the Arab neighbours. If he can't have that then he will continue with the vision of building biblical Israel. The confusion comes from those people who can't accept anything but their own vision.
3. Wish we could believe him
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (01.31.10)
With all due respect, Begin voted in favor of Netanyahu's anti Jewish decree and he has never spoked out against Ehud Barak's illegal "Iron Fist" policy. Why did Begin come back from retirement to implement Kadima's anti-Zionist plan? Why does Begin talk about building Jewish homes when he knows that in eight months he will vote for another suspension?
4. Very well, hand me my passport please...
Nour ,   Israel   (01.31.10)
Oh and lead me to the nearest voting booth. He who laughs last is the winner.
5. all of the Jew haters
Barney ,   USA   (01.31.10)
keep referring to the golden calf as if this is the only thing to know about the Jews. Shows they believe in the literal Torah. While G-d acknowledges that his chosen people are "stiff necked" and had lapses of faith -at the same time He promises never to abandon them and to protect them always and to bring them to the land He promised them and to curse those that curse them and bless those that bless them. Put that in your golden calf pipe and smoke it.
6. building israel
colin   (01.31.10)
Its about time that the son of one of the greatest Israeli's Menagham Begin opens his mouth. Building Yehuda ans Shomron was the greatest wish his father always had. Benny must push much further and cause madheim in the Knesset against the groveling to the american, and the freeze which the cowardly groveling wimp barak is pushing.Benny stand proud of Israel !!!! Build whereever possible
7. The "settlements" issue is irrelevant for a simple reason:
Eitan ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (01.31.10)
The Arabs, Palestinian and otherwise, have never accepted the right of the Jewish people to settle anywhere within its historic homeland and to set up its nation-state on any parcel of land of this homeland. Indeed, to this very day the Arabs don't even recognize the existence of a Jewish people, let alone to exercise its right of national self-determination and independence. This refusal to accept the Jews as a people is of course contrary to the universally accepted right of all peoples to national self-determination and independence. This refusal is also contrary to international resolutions passed by both the League of Nations in the early 1920s as well as those passed by the United Nations in 1947 and 1949. And to this day the true goal of the Muslim-Arab world is to wipe Israel off the face of earth, all of it, be it in one fell swoop or in stages. The "settlements" issue is simply an attempt by the Arabs to divert world public's appreciation away from the true essence of the Arab Israeli conflict.
8. To # 1: On the contrary
Dorothea Killus ,   Loerrach, Germany   (01.31.10)
The contrary is the case: Those who are convinced to have to build and actually do it, seek to honor and obey Israel's true God who has revealed himself in his Word. Who are you to dare and judge, on which basis, and why so disrespectfully?!
9. #7
graczek ,   Marylans, USA   (01.31.10)
Eitan: You Jews were expelled and scattered from your homeland by the Romans as an eternal punishment by God for your having rejected the One He sent to redeem you. Sinced then, you have no sovereignty anywhere unless and until The Lord decides otherwise at Judgment Day.
10. To: No. 4
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.31.10)
Your voting booth is in Amman, chica. He who laughs last does indeed laugh best. Tee hee.
11. your land is in Poland, not in Palestine
sami ,   son of palestine   (01.31.10)
12. Graczedk, there is a mental institution a few blocks away
Jae ,   Lynn US   (01.31.10)
I'd encourage you to get some help. Are you that guy from the da vinci code movie who is albino and a ruthless killer in the name of the Jesus? By the way Churchism is not Jesus' teachings. The church as you have it today, came 300 years later when Rome converted. Jesus' teachings and the Church are not one and the same. You follow an anit semtic, anti Jesus line of thought. Ignorance is not bliss, its stupid.
13. Build the one and only Jewish land, continue 4000 years of J
Jae ,   Lynn US   (01.31.10)
Jewish history in the land of the Jews' patriarch, Ya'aqove (Jacob) aka Yisrael (Israel).
14. Begin is not reliable. He votes as the wind blows. He's weak
Jae ,   Lynn US   (01.31.10)
15. # 11
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.31.10)
WRONG. Our land, our homeland is Israel. There is no country called Palestine. Israel is the home of the Jews.
16. # 7
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.31.10)
Perfect post Eitan.
17. Begin is right
Brod ,   USA   (01.31.10)
Israel should continue to build and populate its liberated historic homeland of Judea and Samaria. The Land of Israel is GOD-GIVEN and GOD-RESTORED to the Jews. It is your land. No one, especially the Islamist-Jihadists, has a right to deprive the Jews from building and living in their own liberated Historic Homeland of Judea and Samaria.
18. Likud Central Comm. Elections Ordered = Change of Tone
Alice ,   Israel   (02.01.10)
The Likud rank and file will greatly expand the Feiglinites power in the Central Committee in response to the Labor party inspired "two-state" proclamation and the Ehud Barak implemented settlement freeze policy of the Netanyahu government. So now the elites of the party are trying to change their tone. Likud voters must screw their courage to the sticking point and elect Feiglin and a new cadre of leaders who will implement the will of the people.
19. Begin is a liar like Bibi. I trust Feiglin
Sergey ,   Brooklyn, USA   (02.01.10)
Feiglin has been consistent with his message. Register for Likud, make Feiglin Likud's leader and divest Bibi and liars Co of any power.
20. Did Begin forget that he voted FOR the FREEZE?
Jeff ,   Hillside, NJ USA   (02.01.10)
Do these politicians have alzheimers? One day they vote to destroy the land and the next day they are building it. Tomorrow they will destroy what they just built. It's time to get rid of all of the two faced politicians. It's time to elect true Jewish leaders who will build the land with a full heart. The Likud must go to new internal elections and elect leaders that will implement the policies in the Likud charter and not the policies of Labor and Kadima. Elect Moshe Feiglin to head the Likud and the country.
21. Begin will always support his father's planned autonomy for.
Mack Kabbee ,   Modi'in   (02.01.10)
the Arabs in Judea and Samaria. We must support someone who has always been loyal to the Land of Israel, and who has put his freedom on the line for it. His name is Moshe Feiglin.
22. My vote is for Feiglin
Estie ,   Israel   (02.03.10)
These other people are simply not believable. How many times have they double-crossed us? They sound good when it is politically expedient, but they cannot be trusted to act consistently in the best interest of the Jewish people.
