1. New party names....
Ariel ,   Judean Hills   (11.21.05)
Instead of "Achrayut Leumit", it would be more appropriate to chose one of the following: * Ramaout Leuimit * Hona'at Leumit * Arik Baba and his band of thieves
2. Sharon is a Liar!!
Matthias ,   Switzerland   (11.21.05)
By this moment everyone should know that one must be careful to rely on promises made by Sharon. A person like Sharon who broke all the promises he ever made cannot be trusted.
3. No Peace Retreat & Defeat Party
Marcel ,   Florida   (11.21.05)
The pary of appeasment and surrender and the party of submission to America's agenda has adopted the book Alice in Wonderland as it's platform. His lies caught up with him at likud ,maybe he can get away with his delusion and appeasment better in his newly formed party of illusion.
4. Arik is King!!
Michael Steiner ,   Praha, EU   (11.21.05)
Dr. Sharon goes from strength to strength. His heart, his love for the people and the state, his wisdom, his probity, his courage, his determination...they're those of a giant. This man has ALWAYS put his country ahead of his personal ambitions; this is now irrefutable. Goodbye Liqud, goodbye odious extremists, goodbye opportunists. Long live Arik--melekh Yisrael!!
5. #1
Michael Steiner ,   Praha, EU   (11.21.05)
The ony thief is you, buddy, over in "Judean hills." You've been sponging off the state like nobody's business and costing us endless money and lives. Dr. Sharon fought in all Israel's war, was wounded twice and is a decorated hero. What are you, apart from a hateful blabbermouth?
6. Good job sharon! You have my vote!

firstly, why 'dr' sharon?? how can you claim that sharon put israel over personal ambition, he never once went to a referendum to find out what israel thought. he bulldozed anything he wants straight through anyone who opposes him and breaks all sorts of democratic norms like ignoring party votes and firing ministers before a vote to obtain a false majority for whatever he wants. and from your great view point in prague how do you know that ariel is theiving tax poayers money. i live in gush etzion, we pay for our own security and do not have an army base near us, we dont get anything a tel avivian or jerusalite doesnt get. you believe too much of what you read mate. sharon has finally done the recent thing and gone to elections, now we will see if the public actually want his policies.

ask ABBAS to join the new group. then you will be the real contender.
11. Very Orwellian Name Chosen For New Party
Adina kutnicki ,   NJ   (11.21.05)
What an Orwellian title for his new party . What "national responsibilty" is he exactly referring to? Is it the "national responsibilty" of Israel's appeasement in the face of genocidal aggression? Is it the "national responsibilty" in the face of orders from Bush/Condi? Is it that "national responsibilty" should be interpreted as slow "national suicide"? Those going along with his charade are only concerned with the "benefits" of power they will accrue in the short term. Read my lips - the "national" interest is not on their agenda.

Michelle ,   Israel   (11.21.05)
If you love Ariel Sharon so much why not marry him!! Until you live in this country and see the damage Sharon has caused and the corruption he and his family create and thrive on, on a daily basis ----keep you ignorant opions to yourself.
13. Good riddens to bad rubbish!
Orange ,   Israel   (11.21.05)
Sharon you will not be missed!!!
14. #s 9+12
Michael Steiner ,   Praha, EU   (11.21.05)
#9: You don't see the very obvious flaws in your argument. First of all, why would you portray the Hitnatqut as personal ambition?!? Dr. Sharon did what he believed to be right for the People and Country. And many more people than not agreed with him at the time and agree with him now. Secondly, why a referendum? Had Arik not been elected rosh hamemshalah? And just because a vocal minority was unhappy with one of his proposals you'd have the State waste millions??! And surely if the Hitnatqut was such a bad and unpopular move, the forces that opposed it will triumph at the next election, surely. As for #1 and you, Gush Etzion is rather different than some outpost in "Judean Hills." #12: Michelle, honey, no need to get all cantankerous. I won't marry haMelekh; I just have enormous respect for him because practically his entire life he's been serving his Country. As for corruption, what: are you going to accuse one man for the venality of great sectors of the nation? Get real.
15. The disengagement provided us with a historical opportunity
Nachm Sanow   (11.21.05)
Retreat spells weakness which give the enemy courage. Today we are getting it from the Hizballah yesterday from hamas and tommoroow from both heaven forbid. Historical opportunity for our enemies, Sharon. The nation will catch on to your lies and hopefully send you back home
16. Appeasement Brings More terror
Adina kutnicki ,   Nj   (11.21.05)
Sharon is right about one thing - he is surely giving hope to some people, but certainly not to his own fellow Jews. He is giving hope to all on the deluded and appeasement oriented left, and most importantly to the PA/PLO Hamas Arabs. In fact, the far left as stated by Beilin see his new party as a stupendous idea. The PA leadership is hopeful that "peace" will prevail from the new party, if only Israel truly wants it. Imagine that.. On the other hand, hope is now truly given to the national camp, both religious and secular. If they curtail from their self interests and back the survival of Israel as a national priority, Sharon will be history. It can not come soon enough for the beleagured public. Every time concessions and peace are intertwined, rivers of Jewish blood starts to flow. Does anyone in Israel really want that, other than the fifth column form within? By the way, I hope MK Kara gets a prominent position in the new national front. I know he is not Jewish. Never mind. I trust him more than Sharon, Peres, Olmert et al, all rolled into one!
17. Good speach @ #14...
Yakir ,   Swiss   (11.21.05)

ash ,   gush etzion   (11.21.05)
no, ariel sharon was not voted in as prime minister. we dont have that system anymore, you vote for a party and a platform.only then the leader of the largest party is invited to form a coalition. the platform strongly rejected disengagement espoused by the then opposing labour and amran mitzna. sharon did the decent thing and returned to the party to seek a change of platform and then did the undecent thing and rejected the results. the people never gave him a mandate, in fact the people rejected the platform of disengagement at the last elections. polls should not dictate policy, they are extremely unreliable, ask peres. and why have elections if we can just decide by polls. you have to get your facts correct, i know its probably hard to ascertian from prague.
19. 15-The exile gave us the opportunity for Sharon and treason
(11.21.05)
HE HAS NO OTHER INTENTION THAN TO SERVE HIS US MASTERS.
20. Elections
Arnie ,   Wayside, NJ USA   (11.21.05)
I never thought that Sharon would step up to the plate the way that he has. He has shown true vision. He has shown the PA that he means what he says. Once he makes a commitment, he sticks to it. There are few, if any, who can lead Israel out of the morass into the sun of peace.
21. sharon: staying waste of time
david rubin ,   paris france   (11.22.05)
arik sharon is a great leader and a great strategist; he is showing to the world that his political vision is for the commonweal and the security of israel and the jewisch people. he is not a politician but a"homme d' ETAT"as we say in french. I hope he will be succesful in this new battle! david Rubin PARIS FRANCE
22. Ariel Sharon will not last !
Michael ,   NYC   (11.22.05)
As a soldier & general he triumphed, and made our enemies tremble & weep. As a politician he failed, and caused our enemies to smile & glee. He expelled Jews from their homes, (homes he helped build), and now HaShem expels HIM from the party he founded. Midda kenegged midda. There is no hope for Sharon and his gang. I pray and I know. Amen.
