2. to many political parties are damaging to democracy
zionist forever   (05.06.12)
The more parties you have the thinner the national vote is spread and that means fewer seats in the hands of the mainstream parties that actually want to run the country as a whole and more power in the hands of the single issue parties. As things stand Kadima have the most seats with just a quarter of the Knesset seats ( 29 out of 120 ). After the next election if the polls are anything to go by the mainstream Kadima party will lose about half its seats to Yair Lapid who cares only about his own political career and not the country. Things are getting out of control and we need to get rid of coalition government replace all these single issue parties with 3-4 mainstream ones and the party with the most seats runs the country alone for a fixed term, no more stale coalition governments.
3. Bibi and Lieberman should be scared. Bennett is coming.
Katamon ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.06.12)
His audience are people in the Likud that can't vote for YB because of Lieberman but share his opinions. Also, the non-Russians that vote for YB are in play. This could be a 12 MK party in a few years.
4. A disastrous idea that will divide Patriotic Israel.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.06.12)
Bennett may have the best of intentions. However, his idea of forming a new party is a disastrous one. It can only divide the vast Patriotic Israel majority and foster a malignant leftist government on Israel. This would cause incalculable damage to Israel is every respect.
5. BALANCE via Leshon Kodesh AND Yisraelit (few extra letters)!
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (05.07.12)
6. Bad idea
BH ,   Iowa   (05.07.12)
Primary is over. Get behind Netanyahu.
7. Another nail
Sagi   (05.07.12)
in Israel's coffin.
8. Naftali
Mark ,   Israel   (05.07.12)
The meaning of Naftali is "struggling." Enough said.
9. somebody's worried
Nate   (05.21.12)
bibi's friends and relatives seem overly concerned here and rightly so.
