People keep claiming that Bibi's economic policies ruined Israel and made everyone poor. But I fail to see what Bibi did that was different from previous govts, especially Leftist ones whose very platform is socialism but they lined their own pockets. Peres shouldn't be in the govt AT ALL! call me a hateful Jew if you must but I consider him a labor leader and that mentality is very narrow, fixated on immediate results, and extortion to get what they want.

The only qualified person for their portfolio was Yossi Sarid when he held the Educational Ministry, though I still think he failed in producing a State-wide curriculum to include Arab schools and was led by his own political ideology. As for those holding Health, Environmental, Housing, Finance ministries - they are massively unqualified.

I was in the Yom Kippur War. And saw how the US and the world backstabbed Israel how about you were you in diapers?

lapid has no miliitary combat service in common with a lot of his allies yechaimovitch, olmert, peres, oren, sarid, whatever livni did in paris, who knows,gal on most of them disconnected from reality. Bibi while having done some combat shows a tremendous lack of knowledge if reports are true that he will not give defence to yaalon, who is far superior to bibi and barak combined. Certainly lapid would be over his head at defense like amir peretz, bibi would be over his head, shamir is OK but not on the level of yaalon. it was yaalon who smashed west bank terror, not mofaz, not barak, not bibi. Do not be stupid with israeli security-appoint yaalon. Don'tbe stupid like olmert who appointed peretz??!! you and lapid are not up to the defence portfolio.

keep him away from security matters.

It sounds like he doesn't want any real responsibilities because it's too hard. No he doesn't want Finance because there will be budget cuts. No he doesn't want the Foreign Ministry because that would put him front and center in the world. No he doesn't want the Defense Ministry because he might have to make tough decisions regarding Israel's security and may get blamed if rocket fire resumes from Gaza. Shas already has Interior and Housing staked out. Would he prefer Shas to get the Foreign Ministry, Defense Ministry or Finance Ministry?! This shows that he is not a serious leader.

LOL I served in the 6 Day War and the Yom Kippur War both - and I'm still here! How about you? Where are you living now - and since when? Just what gives you the right to tell me how I, my children and my grandchildren should live?
