After the amud annan, Barak said on t.v. interview on channel 10 that public opinion is not important. Who is he representing? Public or himself? This usless, spinless has got cunning and sharp brain which he uses for his betterment (and not public betterment). He understood that he can not achieve anything on his own. He is a failure. So he is trying to survive by joining Livni. Livni be smart, he will outsmart you one day and take your position. The histroy will get repeated. Do not believe in him as the man is in love with himself.

better domestically. The man was and is a disaster.

Barak is superman on steroids!

And now replace him by Yaalon and next is Bibi to be replaced by Liebermann

History will record the true damage done by Barak in the last 20 years. Prior to his tenure, we were in Lebanon, Gaza and Israel's deterrent meant a lot to the Islamic states. Now due to him, Hamas feels confidence of sending rockets to Tel Aviv and nothing happened. Israel has now sunk to the level of Hamas. Please, Israel's future generations are begging you to disengage from public life and let someone more competent take the reins "Mr. Security"

Many years too late! Thank, God...this clown is leaving, because he has been a true detriment to Israel! Only five-citations, and he's Israel's most decorated soldier? Pathetic! I know Israel has a lot more braver men and women than this clown! Again, good riddance...that he will soon be gone! God bless Israel; praying for the peace of Jerusalem!!!

You are all a bunch of ungrateful jerks. Not one of you has in your whole body what he has in the tip of his small finger. Not one of you has ever given or done for this country and people even one hundredth of what he has given and done. Shame on you all.

of Ariel Sharon is sympathic for me to be new defence minister.He has reputation in israeli public and this is very important.

If he were'nt a politician, he could have become a Troubadour, as he is very capable of [leasing different 'courts', in our times, constituents, very flexibly. Though we should recognise his many contributions, he was also an opportunistic that leaves after him a sweet and sour taste. I cannot resist to wish great learning and festing in the future, but also I may allow myself to say "Adieu, bons debarats". Thank you!

Wish you best, these are good news both for you and for Israel. How about moving to Finland or to Switzerland? I do not invite you to the Basque country in case it is too tough on you.

...stating he's in talks with Livni? The two losers deserve each other! Leftist garbage!!!

And he's a REAL ZIONIST !

Whatever you think of his politics, he gave a million times more to Israel than any of you kvetchers. He served in the IDF for 35 years, is Israel's most decorated soldier and people have the chutzpah to ignore everything he did. It's sickening.

Once we had good leaders we could trust. Barak will be last of the Olmert-Livna-Barak failure to leave and good riddance. Unfortunately Bibi is no longer the fighter he once was. We need new young spirited leadership that knows how to stand up to the enemy and stand with friends. It is time to send the older politicians to the Beit Avot.

I totally agree with 11 and 18. Barak has devoted his entire adult like to the service of this country. Like him or not, he led this country decisively and with devotion. SHAME on all the negative, ungrateful tb's. You really are a pathetic bunch.

new generation need others than what we are ... this morning i tried to teatche my granddaughter to make bye bye with her hand but she wanted to voice it and do it with her hand it was difficult realy i could not inform her it is difficult in her 7 month age so new gneration expect more than what it can be so they failed not the eldest . barak reached this point

THis two bit loser has done more damage to Israel then you can imagine. There is nothing to be learned from him. His legacy should and will be thrown in the trashbin of modern Israels history. My next wish is that Israel throws Netanyahu out of office. There is nothing to be said about him. Neyanyahu's only claim to fame in his life was the fact that his brother died in Uganda. He has been riding on his brothers coatails ever since. A two time failure of a PM..he must go.

You are not Israeli citizens and quite frankly its none of your bussiness so butt out.

Now make room for Bogie Yaalon

He knew he was un-electable, he was done for, fubarred. Israel will be alot better off without him having any input on policy and decisions. Notwithstanding all his years of service to Israel but as a public official and politician he was a complete and utter failure. He will NOT be missed....by anyone. Bye bye, good riddance and dont let the door hit you on the way out.

Miracles do still happen. Awsome news!

"We need new young spirited leadership that knows how to stand up to the enemy and stand with friends" a smart leadership will understand, that what the rambam teaches us and what the blood of tens of millions of slaugtered jews teach us, that all we have is god and ourselves thats it! You want to stand with what friends? learn some history please, there are no friends, its friends who we tried to make happy that destroyed us during cast lead, and latest hamas war, stop dreaming, and without fail, everytime in history the jew thought that by being nice he will survive he got slaughtered. In the late 30's most jews really where convinced that they or some country can convince hitler not to attack the jews, 10 million lives later, I see we didnt learn a thing. Its either we fight to survive and dont care about pleasing non jews, or we die and disrespect the blood that was spilled all because they where jews.

Between them Yair Lapid, a Labor party thats increased in popularity and the probability of Livni standing means his party is unlikely to even pass the 2% threshold. Even if he did get elected the only job he really wants is defence and this new pact between Bibi & Liberman means there is a very good chance he won't get the job he wanted. He has had his time in politics now better to get out go back to business which is what he is good at rather than being humiliated. I do think though he is telling the truth when his passion was never in politics, the way others obviously are.
