Gunnar ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (12.17.12)
...have done a lot of good for Israel as a nation. Believing in economic equality, gender equality, a reasonable distribution of resources to THE WHOLE SOCIETY, a public welfare system and common rights and responsibilities isn't all that bad. Hey, it worked perfectly during my yaer as a volunteer at a kibbutz outside Haifa 1986. And if you wanna call me a commie, then call me commie.
13. Shelly - you don't seem committed
Tova ,   Canada   (12.17.12)
Do you want to divide Jerusalem and give it to Palenstians. or do you believe in the State of Israel. Jerusalem as capitla. As for the settlements - It's Israeli land and they are not settlements. Israel is building for future generations. no different than Tel-Aviv or Haifa. Words like settlement and occupation are fasle & misleading. Israel is all of the land. And it has be proven too many times Land for Peace fails each time.

Ben Yisrael ,   Tel Aviv   (12.17.12)

B. Clinton ,   Washington, DC   (12.17.12)
...on what you mean by Leftist
18. Positive proof Israel is fed up with leftist lunacy.
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.17.12)
When even the far left Labor Party pretends not to be a leftist party, before elections, that is positive proof that Israel is fed up with leftist lunacy. However, voters should not be fooled. Labor does not deserve a single from from a patriotic Jew.
19. shelly is as leftist as they come
scott ,   ramat gan, israel   (12.18.12)
and her 1st order of business will be a settlement freeze.
