Beilin's pathetic and left-radical Meretz only managed to get 5 MK chairs or less than 5% of the total votes so no one cares what Beilin thinks. The vast majority of the Israeli public including many left-liberal Israelis are getting fed-up with Beilin's arrogance, sick fantasies and treacherous policies that appease Israel's enemies. Go to Gaza or Europe and stop pestering Israel.

place ???????? He has as usual a big ego. He knows noone will ask him - so he quickly up front proclaims his dreams

Yossi Beilin is too much demanding in his choice of coalition partners, which looks quite ridiculous in his situation. Under his leadership Meretz is steadily losing strength. What are the "certain circumstances" that would allow the merger of Meretz with Labour? Is that when the movement completely loses the meager support from its usual electorate? Let's wait and see if Labour will accept him back one day.

May you make T'Shuva now for if not you will suffer umeasurably should you ever gain a conscious. You do make an acknowledgement that putsch party from the east will lower the nation's viablility, acknowledge they are a messianic land for peace suicide party that has only appeasement as a policy by not calling them rightest. In your mind mapai would be rightest since they hat nationalist goals. For you, suicide through embolening those who come to kill you is the progressive, enlightened path where no longer do Jews commit pogroms, Jews will along with the spetz naz immigrants who bash the brains and break the limbs with glee on order from halutz and olmert to take no prisoner Jews.

It was called - Beilin, a Legend in his own mind - it's still on the web at: http://tinyurl.com/zqgbd

Five lousy seats and a radical left policy rejected by the overwhelming majority of Israelies... Does he seriously believe he or his pro-pal party has any relevance in Israeli society? Beilin really ought to give some serious consideration to laying off that crack pipe a bit, or at least moving to Eurabia.

You don't want to be in the government? Then get the hell out!

And whats the big fuss anyway, got 4 mandates and already you've started barking?

Your progressive, enlightened view allows Jews, with their spetz naz immigrants to bloody their hands with the lives of Jews in your messianic OCD oslo syndrome to destroy the lives of Jews while embolening the other to further commit crimes against humanity, but specifically Jews of any kind, without regard to age, sex or condition. That is the homicidal Hamite you embolden,that should have their right of return enforced to the 632 AD lines.

It is amazing to read the remarks to the article, mainly written by right-wing jews/Israelis living abroad (who probably never even have served the IDF) and are longing for further bloodshed. If someone would try and listen to Meretz policy they would understand that it is mainly social and financially best for Israel. Unfortunately the right wherever it is is always deaf to whatever is different! Disgusting bullshit!

As usual, Gabrielle is right : Beilin is a pathetic peacenik who doesn't understand that only force works with arabs. Arabs who are only immigrants (read the postings of gabrielle) and traeted the way the swiss do it : expulsion!

RESULT...... and along with - can't you read your Israeli news - Yossi has never made and never will make it in Israeli politics.. the elections have shown it again and again Now before you throw your mouth offff about the Jewish Diaspora - look at your outcome of the elctions .........

Nobody ask you to join a coalition. You are overestimating your importance. Im sure you will have better chances if you run for mayor of Jenin or Naplouse.

Gabrielle, you should get a column in this newspaper. You have understood that all these christian ideas of human rights, equality and so on are dangerous lunacies. Only force matters, force on the ground but also in the information debate. No nuances, no mutual respect but disqualification of the adversary. That is really great. Congratulations for the way you treat Beilin, this ''arab lover''. Let's be strong and pitiless.

gabrielle, you deserve the admiration of all the real jews of switzerland. Our israeli friends have to know that you are not alone, that we support you : no compromise ! no weakness ! war, war, war ! don't worry, israel, switzerland is behind you

Rightist scumbag who thinks only those who have made "T'shuva" will go to heaven and all other jews who are for a peaceful end to the conflict are "suicidal appeasers". Hey Ben , ever been to Israel...?? Ever serve in the IDF...? Yeah, thought so...Seriously, if the left are all traitors, what do you with traitors..?? Kill them all, right?....Do us all a favor and spare us the BS propaganda you were spoonfed by Meir Kahane....

Most Israelis are fed up with Beilin's sick arrogance and betrayal of Israel which is the main reason why Beilin only got 5 MK seats. It is time that people like Jonathan wake up and realize that they constitute a tiny minority among us Israelis. The vast majority of us Israelis do not wish continued bloodshed but we have no choice but defending ourselves against those evil forces that still seek the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people. These evil forces will not be defeated by Beilin's illusions but by perserverance and force.
