1. Peretz's fight against terror
RobertK ,   Jerusalem   (12.01.05)
He can begin by resigning his candidacy and stop terrorizing Israeli citizens that a moron even worse than all the others is running. Then he can go back to Sderot and be a night watchman.
2. Spoken like a racist
mikki ,   ireland   (12.01.05)
Spoken like a true racist.How many of you middle class ashkenzais hate that a working class mizrahi comes in to a position of powe my guees at least 60 per cent
3. Mikki, you see racism everywhere
David Hornik ,   Jerusalem   (12.02.05)
Could it be that someone dislikes a working-class Mizrahi not because he's a working-class Mizrahi, but because he's a moron? Or is there some category of people that's totally devoid of morons? Look at yourself, for instance.
4. Sharon failed, Peretz will fail, elect Noam Federman.

5. there is no racial division between askenasi and sephardi!!!

Mikki, There is no racial division between askenasi and sephardi!!! The differences that exist are best cultural and are greatly exagerated by people in to close proximity so only see the differences. If you understood the demographics of Israel we are now into the 4th and fifth generation. I am 3rd generation and these labels are meaningless to me, and even more so to my peers children. The exile is over and so must be these kind of anachronisms. Although usual for a person to marry in the 1rst generation from within the same community, less likely in the second.... Only a minority can claim to come from a family that to this day only marries from within the same community their Grandparents returned from. Israel is far more divided by the same things you can see any where else, class, education, rural urban, immigrant, native etc. However if you are going to make these kind of generalizations, Labour is the party of favour for the Ashkenazim as it is true with all other left parties. The Sephardic and Mizrachi communities generally support the Likud and other centre right parties. The reason is that ironically it is the left which has historically maintained the priveledge of Askenasim. And the likud which was in no small way created to counter the then status quo. This is an extreme generalization though!! All the major parties to some degree are representation of diverse interests. Otherwise they are by definition going to be a very small party. The insults being broadcast in Israel are just a reflection of the low level of political discourse that characterises politics in Israel. For consideration, Josef Cohen

10. Peretz and the Settlers
Andrew ,   Australia   (12.03.05)
Apartheid and Fascism is alive and well amongst the settlers, it is also very evident in Israel proper ... Hope Peretz will control that ... the only way to peace. THERE WILL BE NO PEACE WITHOUT JUSTICE FOR EVERYONE.
