1. Bennett should fight it out
Brod ,   USA   (04.10.14)
Bennett should fight it out and not quit. Quitting is exactly what Livni, Kerry and Obama and their Leftist cohorts want to see so that they can dismantle Israel's Conservative government and pave a Leftist government that will do their dirty work and undermine Israel National Security Interests. They want Israel to be turned into a banana republic and a powerless slave colony. Israel's government must stand strong and be united and resolute to confront external pressures and manipulations that are detrimental to Israel National Security Interests.
2. Is Israel a Dhimmi Nation?
Max ,   Washington DC   (04.11.14)
To continue to release convicted murderers is bad enough but to release convicted Arab Israeli Terrorist Murderers before a Peace Agreement is ludicrous! Has Israel become a puppet to appeasers?
3. Bennet changed my mind
Dan   (04.11.14)
I was against the prisoner release - but if it means Bennett would leave the government, set them free!
4. Bennett should he quit ?
JACK ,   NETANYA   (04.11.14)
Please Bennett do go ... Who need a party and YOU in the Israeli cabinet. you are like those guys in Germany in 1938 ...
5. Bennett is 100% right, but.......
tiki ,   belgium   (04.11.14)
He should NOT quit the government, because that's precisely what the Israeli left + Kerry want! Their place will immediately be taken over by baby Herzog who will sell his mother to the Palestinians if this is what it takes to look nice in the eyes of the worlds Israel bashers....."the price for peace" so to speak! Bennett & party should stay as the stubborn mavericks & moral voices of this government
6. By now the PM and other ministers
Danny   (04.11.14)
already know what Bennett's "threats" are all about. He wouldn't leave the coalition unless he's literally pulled out of there. In other words, he's one minister the government doesn't have to worry about.

Annexation Build Capitol All of Jerusalem. And.. Repatriation for all pals to Jordan. KEEP BUILDING!!
8. prisoners
reuben ,   Florida. usA   (04.11.14)
israel should play the Palestinian game they should say if the peace process does not start again within a certain. Amount Of time, Israel will recapture all the prisoners that they released
9. Suddenly
Zechariah   (04.11.14)
10. Israeli prisoners release
Abe Mizrahi ,   Mameroneck N.Y.   (04.11.14)
The Israeli Goverment is right not to agree to the release of Israeli Arab prisoners. The solution is to ask these prisoners if they wish to renounce their Israeli Citizenship, If they do, than the Israeli Goverment does not release Israeli terrorist but Palestinian terrorist.If they refuse to renounce their Israeli Citizenship, the Palestinian Authority has no claim on them.
11. Good riddance to bad rubbish
Michael ,   Haifa   (04.11.14)
Getting rid of both the the murderous prisoners and the Bennett fanatics can only improve the chances of a peace settlement.
12. Bennet's threats
Isaac Shladovsky   (04.11.14)
I wish to state my unqualified support of Mr. Wiseman's comments and pray with him that Mr. Bemmett leave the government or as we say in Hebrew "LO ME'UKTZO VE"LO ME"DUVSHO. He is, with all due respect, a computer nerd given his recent pronouncements.
13. You can't fix STUPID
ab5678 ,   USA   (04.11.14)
Never seen a politician trying so hard to make himself and his party irrelevant.
14. Bennett's threats to quit? That's not a bad idea at all!
Jew Dimaggio ,   Atlanta   (04.11.14)
So far no one is very impressed with him enough to care and no one is 'irreplaceble'. Especially this guy. Perhaps he can find work in the hotel room cleaning arena or take up animal sacrifice or automobile engine repair...something that suits his myopic shallow ill temperment...and rebel rousing. We have sharpton, you have bennett...
15. Status Quo over, ICC war crimes "doomsday weapon" in play
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.11.14)
Bye bye Naftali Bennett, see you in the Hague.

BILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (04.11.14)
Annexation Build Capitol All of Jerusalem. And.. Repatriation for all pals to Jordan. KEEP BUILDING!!
17. What the H...did I see in Bibi that I voted for him?
Israeli 2   (04.11.14)
Was he the best? Now I realize he talks tough but in the end he does the left's bidding. That's why he chose leftists to join likud.
18. On the one hand
Philip ,   Afula, Israel   (04.11.14)
I would just love to see the end of Bennett and his wretched party.But on the other hand I cannot understand why Israeli Arabs with blood on their hands should be freed, after having been tried and convicted in Israeli courts. If they are freed it should be on condition that they leave the country and never return.
19. Tricks in structure of spelling
Matilde   (04.11.14)
20. Good Riddance, Naftali!!!
Dilbert ,   in the office   (04.11.14)
21. Bennet is the fool here
zionist forever   (04.11.14)
He was perfectly willing for them to be released a week ago in exchange for Abbas continuing talks beyond April 29, then it was not immoral it was political. Now its immoral to let them out. If we are taking about releasing top terrorists like Bargouti then there must be no deal but if we are going to get Pollard in exchange for the terrorists we were planning to release anyway last week without getting Pollard in return. Bennet is acting like a spoilt child with it being immoral to release the terrorists for Pollard who he was happy to release for nothing last week. Annexation of Judea & Samaria when the man should now full well that means annexation of the population and giving millions of arabs Israeli citizenship. The man should also remember if he forces an election and Labor win which is a very real possibility there is no way he will even be in the coalition so Herzog can do as many immoral things as he likes without consulting Bennet.
22. no choice
(04.11.14)
The reason to join the government was to protect Israeli interests If Netanyahu releases more murderers just so he can continue surrendering to Abbas, is there any reason to stay in government? In the next elections, no Zionist will vote for Likud because of his surrender to Abbas. No Leftist will vote Likud because they hate Netanyahu more than anyone else. Bennet may as well distance himself now.
