1. Bennet is an egotistical man
CJK   (04.20.15)
bennet puts his ego ahead of the welfare of his country. shame on him.
2. 1 cbk on the contrary
robert ,   antwerp belgium   (04.20.15)
Bennet supported Netanyahu even though Netanyahu campaigned against him. Now Netanyahu is ready to bow to the orthodox parties , which might not necessarily be in the interest of the country, while leaving crumbs for his most steadfast allies. So who is being egotistical?
3. Well, Yeah
Larry ,   Jerusalem Israel   (04.20.15)
On the other hand, Bennett can't get one or two nice government positions without meeting Bibi. Naftali also had a rep as running over people before he formed his party.
4. #2 You got it all wrong and #1 is right
Chaim   (04.20.15)
Bennett would do anything for power even to ally with the evil as in the previous election that lasted b"H 2 years because of these 2 power hungry egoists. On the other hand, Netanyahu is best of with the most loyal ministers, the Orthodox, who are not interested in anything more than keeping Israel Jewish.
5. Don't need Libermans Party
Zechariah   (04.20.15)
A government can be formed without Liberman 61 seats to rule for Two years .Bennett is pushing hard but you could add more ministries for the Egoism .
6. Ministries
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.20.15)
Kahlon gets Finance. Bennett gets Defense. Lieberman gets Foreign. The religious parties will have to settle for something less. The only other option is that we go to new elections, and Likud gets forty mandates. Do the math. No one wants Budgie. No one wants Livni. Get smart. The religious parties can get something, but they shouldn't expect too much. They simply do not bring enough votes to the party.
7. It's final: Integrity's the least desirable trait in politic
(04.20.15)
8. They better form the government
(04.20.15)
Or else Bibi can call on us talkbackers here to form the government and I'll do better job.
9. 4 Chaim
robert ,   antwerp   (04.20.15)
It's true that the orthodox parties are , for the time being, not interested in power.But they are interested in receiving as much money as possible and in not having to participate in military or civil duty for the state. I just wonder which percentage of subsidies per capita the orthodox receive in proportion to the percentage they represent to the active population. Taking that into account, what percentage does go to the army or perform civic duty. Now, don't understand me wrong, learning Tora is an essential part of the country but the issue is that the relationship between orthodox parties and the government should be based on more than money and avoiding duty. It should be a relationship where each part of the Jewish people contributes in a way that unites us in heart , body and spirit. I believe that Bennet and bait Yehudi do contribute because its voters learn Tora,work and go to the army
