31. Tsipi
Michael Pielet ,   boca raton, Israel   (05.01.11)
Who is Tsipi. She was Likud. Being an opportunist she followed Sharon into Likud to give away Gaza. As a Foreign minister she offered the arabs everything, result no deal, no peace. Tsipi fought a war against hezbollah in Lebanon she lost. Tsipi fought a war in Gaza, she lost the propaganda war stemming from that conflict. Reality Tsipi know how to criticze Netanyahu because she has already accomplished everything she accuses Netanyahu of doing. Tsipi has no background and no experience. Under the peter princ ipal she should be appointed Tel Aviv's chief dog catcher.
32. Livni, next prime minister?
Claudedeparis ,   Paris, France   (05.01.11)
Livni is trying to become the prime minister of Israel. She does not care of the future of Israel but only of her own.
33. 13,18,19 Government reflects people.
Eliyahu Konn ,   Powell, OH USA   (05.01.11)
Mrs Livni couldn't find enough like minded to form a government so it went to Mr Netanyahu. The Rosh HaMemshalah was within his rights to discard those that had garnered enough votes to sit in the Knesset. It is not democracy it is more like grade school minyanim. That is how the majority like it in Israel. To the extent that the individual that casts a vote is upstanding, then the elected government will also be.
34. Yes, Tzippora Shpitzer: we shouldn't waste a moment in
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.01.11)
transferring additional land to the Arabs. Who knows, the next Egyptian or Syrian or Hammas govt. might not agree to that!! -and then what would we do with those pesky areas (Golan/Judea-Samaria???)
35. You dont think in Eretz Israel, just in your self.
Rosenvals ,   Brasil   (05.01.11)
This is Livni.
36. Shut the hell up!!!!!!
Tor Gnon ,   There and Here   (05.01.11)
This fake woman ought to shut the hell up. That's the only comment/talkback she merits.
37. Labor needs a more responsible head
RAYS ,   USA   (05.01.11)
Livni projects a bad image for the left. She comes across as undermining Israel. I am sure that is not the will of Israeli left of center opposition. This is a time for a strong united Israel. As such Israel can stand firm and strong against Obama, the UN and EU . Those three are crumbling.
38. Its All about Israel's Army, Livni, Get It
Noah Lev ,   HollywoodUSA   (05.01.11)
Livni doesnt get it, the world is anti Semitic, then and for all times. Its a cancer (Read Abe Foxman). that erupts from time to time, but always is there, waiting. Havent we all heard remarks against Jews? I have heard hundreds over the years, in schools, work, bars, places where people congregate. This is not an aberration. People eat up on this. The floyovers of Auschwitz are meaningless. The March of the Living is a waste. "Tikkun Olam is destroying us by giving false impressions to charitable types (while Israel needs gas masks). Prominent Jewish artists protest, both in Israel and the USA. J St thinks diplomacy and withdrawal is the remedy to achieve peace while Egypt tell Israel to lay off Rafah's business. Laura Logan was beatet caus she was thought Jewish. Afghans killed UN personnel, believing Jews were behind the Koran burning. Jews are believed to have caused 911 (still). Romanian teens are anti-Semitic ( how many Jews live in Romania?). Pales approveFogels killing and violence. Israel will survive as long as its Bar Lev line is stronger than its enemies. It must rely on itself and its supporters..and its army, w/o which its doomed. Get that Charedi! To Livni: tell Hamas to change its charter and be sincere, before you condemn Israel's P.M. Demand Shalit be released BEFORE any thought of talks. Thats how you save a nation.
39. LIVNI, YOU EGOSTISTICAL BLOWHARD
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (05.01.11)
How about naming something that you accomplished during your term in office that benefited Israel ?
40. Puppets
John cone ,   Usa   (05.01.11)
Livni and ehud barak are nothing more than puppets of the American goverment they care nothing about israel only thier pockets and thier egos. That is my opinion
41. "Ynet" has proven that
fg   (05.01.11)
it is the cheepest propaganda sheet of the lowest rung - along with the interviewer of the pathetic "interview". This is simply mind boggling. Is this really the quality of journalism in Israel???! This is lower what you could get in Burma or Zimbabwe! This is political agitpropaganda at its worst!
42. At a time when Israel should be presenting a united front ..
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (05.01.11)
Here in the US we used to believe that "politics stops at the water's edge", that when we were dealing with foreign entities, especially those that threatened us, we were one - united. Not in Israel, at least going by Livni's behavior. She's worked to undercut her Prime Minister since the day he took office, weakening him even in the face of threats the country faces. That's why so few want her as the country's leader.
43. Bibi isolates, Livni gives away.
Yehuda ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.01.11)
44. World support?
Zeroing ,   Germany   (05.01.11)
The day on which the world will support Israel? Yes, there could be such a day: Probably, it is the day when the world is ruled from Jerusalem by Moshiach. This will be a good day for Jews and all Nations of the World . The other possibility, that the world will support the Jewish State and believe in it, is when Jews either are about to destroy themselves or get destroyed. This will be a very bad day for Jews, and will never come, unless Jews will keep on hearing, what the world say. So be very careful, especially when the whole world support you unrestrained. As long as they are not singing praise songs for you, then you are on the safe side. Livni is very wrong, very wrong indeed.
45. Livni is a dangerous fool, who had no place in leadership.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.01.11)
Livni is a dangerous fool, who has no place in any leadership role. She brought Israel nothing but disaster as Foreign Minister. Incredibly, Livni is still proud of negotiating the cease fire with Hizbullah, which cost Israel victory in Lebanon! Livni's only value is as a reverse barometer. Virtually everything LIvni favors is horrible. Virtually everything Livni opposes is good for Israel.
46. Its more important that ever that Israel is united
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (05.01.11)
A divided Israel come Sept will be a disaster now that the Palestinians have united. The Muslim Brotherhood is pushing Hamas hard to keep a low profile until after next years elections and to not to react to any of Israeli aggressive moves as it has done in the past, only document and announce them to the world.
47. Don't exclude...
G. Fränkl   (05.01.11)
I actually don't exclude the possibility that I'll initiate a petition, a hearing, or a lawsuit against you in Israel together with supporters. Be prepared! I may even contact Ron Lauder, from WJC and David Harris, Pres. of AJC, all of whom I had contact before.
48. Livni
Ralph ,   Caesarea   (05.01.11)
Bibi is reparing what Olmert and Livni geopardised.
49. Livni thought assad was credible and a partner for a deal
jason ,   haifa israel   (05.01.11)
She is lost she was going to give golan to assad and iran.
50. This is not time for partisan politcs
ynr   (05.01.11)
That is a lie. Israel was already isolated before even Netanyahu or Livni was born. Just check history. Livni should stop playing this polittics of rottenness. Israel needs God's help at this critical hour more than partisan politics. If Livni thinks that she can make peace with the enemies of israel by what she is doing, let her take a trip to even the UK, not to mention other nations around them. This is the time for Livni to pray for God to hellp israel for the thing that is coming. Just look around and see the build up around Israel. Wake up Livni!
51. May she remain head of opposition for EVER ....
Trumpeldor   (05.01.11)
Amen.
52. time is running for peace
ibrahim ,   Male, Maldives   (05.01.11)
israel got 30 years under hosni mubarak's rule to come to a negotiation with arabs regarding the palestinian issue. they got the chance to solve the problem in their favour abd got the chance to include watever terms they wished in an agreement.. but israelis did not take use of that chance and now everything has changed. its too late. its better if they hurry up and get to an agreement before things get worse too much
53. #52 You're wrong.
Sandra ,   NYC   (05.01.11)
There's never been an offer of peace from the Arabs that would leave Israel standing. The entire goal of the Arab world is to end Israel's existence. It's been more than obvious for 63 years. Saying that the offers have been in Israel's favor is flat out absurd.
54. Formula for failure
Diego ,   Bs As, Arg   (05.02.11)
Livni+Olmert+Peretz+Barak
55. The Time For Negotiation Is Passed
KampungHighlander ,   Jakarta   (05.02.11)
Israel has had ample opportunity to reach a negotiated settlement but has failed on every occasion to negotiate in good faith. The time is fast approaching when most of the World recognizes a Palestinian state within it's 1967 borders. Israel will end up as internationally isolated as North Korea if it does not withdraw from the occupied territories. The Americans will still probably support you, but no one else will.
56. Sharon made up 100% of Kadima and without him
meir elazar   (05.02.11)
Kadima is an absolute 0. Thank G-d we are permanently rid of Olmert who should go to prison for his treason against Israel, IDF, and the Jewish people. Livni is nothing more than a joke much like USA's Sarah Palin. They are good for absolutely nothing but providing material for late night comics. Once we can be permanently rid of Livni and Barak, this country will be a much better place.
57. Well at least they Agree to disagree
Ypip ,   Canada   (05.02.11)
58. #53 you absoluty correct
Ovadyah ,   Selah   (05.02.11)
even 2800 years ago King David shared what the time of the end would hold for Israel and the nations that surround it ...Psalms - tehillim eighty three .
