1. Party should be called Rats jumping ship!
Susie ,   Nitzan, Israel   (12.02.12)
2. #1: What about the Likud-Beiteinu?
David ,   Israel   (12.02.12)
It should be called the Israel Neo-Fascist Party! What the Likud has done to the real Likudnikim, Begin, Eitan, Merridor is nothing more than a disgrace. It proves that Netanyahu will do anything to stay in office. One might ask when Lieberman is going to cause Bibi to figuratively say: "Et tu, Yvette?"
3. #2 Boo hoo hoo, stop weeping
Mel ,   K.Malachi/Chicago   (12.02.12)
Bibi and Ivet look like angels when you look at backnifing going on in Hatnua/Meretz as well as in Labour Michaeli/Shelly act V of Hamlet.. They are the winners in this contest.
4. 2, put this well into your head
Yossi ,   Haifa   (12.02.12)
Bibi and Liberman are staying in office. The rest will be peddling their wares to be part of the government. Just watch.

shame on you to call likud beteinu facist. it is the left in israel that supports the fllowing: 1. kicking jews out of their homes. 2. preventing balanced news reporting. 3.suporting arab terrorists to form another arab state. 4.preventing jews from settling the land of israel. so, i ask who is the real facist? THINK BEFORE YOU WRITE!!!
6. She split Kadima when she was its leader
zionist forever   (12.02.12)
When she was leader she did nothing, said nothing, at least 3 times Bibi invited her to join a unity government and each time she refused When the party any criticism made of the government it came from a spokesman because Livni wanted to keep her whiter than white image. Result was a leadership challenge she lost dividing the party into the Livni & Mofaz camps and the party hasn't been unites since. All Livni did when she former her own party was invite a few of her old supporters who were unhappy in Kadima to join her. In this country we don't elect candidates directly it doesn't matter which political wannabes join her all that matters is how many seats her party win on election day. Kadima is dead and has been dying from the start. Sharon's party was going to be a right wing one that took what Israel wanted and gave the rest to the arabs. Olmert turned it into a left wing one and became the most hated PM in memory, then Livni won the election by 1 vote but the poetical atmosphere was she was not going to form a coalition but Bibi would. She kept Kadima in opposition stagnating and it was to late when Mofaz came along and next election its not even going to pass the 2% threshold. Livni was always the worst thing that ever happened to Kadima.
7. Go with the wind
Dr D ,   Jerusalem   (12.02.12)
I am very sad. My hope to see one day all the Middle East enjoying peace and tranquility is fading . The negotiations for the peace are in the hand of politicians that are not even faithful to their own people. For too many years all those elected to the governments of the Middle East didn't fulfill even one promise made during the election's campaign and some have even the hutzpah to switch political parties faster then they change their underpants and are betraying those who elected them.
8. #5: Look at what Elkins and Levin want to do!
David ,   Israel   (12.02.12)
Then read the words of Miri Regev call the BLACK Illegals a "cancer". I am sure that when you think before you write and read the statements made in Europe about Jews in the 1930's you just might look a little further than your nose! Me, the Palestinians should be thrown out of this country and never be allowed in again but Bibi will eventually give in to US pressure and there will be a "Two State Solution". Olmert and Livni fought a war in Gaza for 22 days before the caved in. Bibi, caves after 8 days. Now we wonder when the next bomb will fall on Tel Aviv. That says it all! Think about living in this country without a Supreme Court to protect your rights when the Arab Enemy within has the majority! Finally, the only reason that Gaza was "settled" was than Sadat was cleverer than Begin. He didn't want it and just think back to the scenes when our soldiers were grovelling in the sand looking for the body parts of our soldiers! Its nice to be right, but its better to be wise and I hope that Netanyahu, who probably will be PM after the election, realizes it better to be wise. There is a time and a place for everything! We are facing a completely hostile world and even the right among us can't close there eyes to that so,with one "friend" left, would you alienate him too? Think man, think and don't be a sheep like the Labor lot! Israel is more that the West Bank. Israel id the key to the survival of the Jewish People. What is more important?
9. why not, politics is by definition dirty
ma nishma ,   modiin   (12.02.12)
Livni the loser and the rest of this mess split up to lose more votes. Gad, what a filthy time we live in. Each for themselves, each for the other's throat. Can Israel win with a combo like this??
10. Israel and Jews #8
Gershon ,   Hadera   (12.02.12)
The jewish people survived 2000 years in diaspora without Israel, it can survive so another 10000 years, this is the strength of the jewish people, they are everywhere, if they would have lived all in the same country, there would be no more Jews, Israel and Jews need one another, they protect one another
