1. Stupid comparison
Logic ,   Israel   (07.09.07)
The Baath party physically eliminates / imprisions their objectors. Here you just have loud mouths politicians bashing each other in front of the media.
2. Why not work together?
David   (07.09.07)
With 8% predicted support 2-3 weeks in September wouldn't make any difference. If he cannot be ready by then, he won’t be ready by October either. The most important thing is to get rid of Olmert before the US pulls out of Iraq and the Islamists go on offensive. Israel needs to be strong and united. It is shame that Israeli politicians put their personal ambitions ahead of the national interests. Unlike many other countries Israel cannot afford such luxury. If the corruption, dubious moral conduct and back-stabbing continue Israel won’t be able to successfully fight its enemies.
3. All politicians here in Israel are aggressive opportunists..
freejay ,   Israel   (07.09.07)
None are worse than the appeasing Olmert
4. Big mouth Shalom
Nora ,   Tel Aviv   (07.09.07)
Shalom should examine the results of the recent statistics placing him as third far lower than Feiglin the second after Bibi. When he saw that he had not a chance to win, he opened his mouth to accuse Natanyahu of aggressive behavior. Shalom doesn`t know how to loose.
5. Shalom to Shalom- please don't come back
Adam ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.09.07)
The only time that we hear Silvan Shalom is when he might lose some power. The only thing that he knows is how to attack other people.
6. Kadima?
Edmond ,   London UK   (07.09.07)
Is Silvan plannng his move?
7. Haide Silvan!
Yosef ben Matitya   (07.09.07)
leave those twerps. the bivi and the feiglin, are both aliens foreign implants prophets of doom, whose only message is forsaking any hope for a future.
8. bivi and feigeleh-in
the shwartz   (07.09.07)
one is a neveileh and the other is a treifeh
9. Criticism
Brod ,   USA   (07.09.07)
This kind of criticism is not a good reflection of the citic.
10. The Bath Party
Talula ,   Israel   (07.09.07)
Maybe a bath party would be good. It's not like there's one member (apart from Isaac Herzog ) who isn't dirty. The bath party should meet every day in the morning.
11. Wow what a sore loser
Lynn ,   Tel Aviv   (07.09.07)
12. the real Silvan Shalom shines through
Concerned Israeli   (07.09.07)
What a whiny little loser.
13. silvan shalom-bibi
buzby ,   raanana   (07.09.07)
bibi-opportunistic. Every opportunity to get rid of the worse government in our history (and thats saying something )should be grabbed at. Bibi-aggresive, we need none stop aggresion from the Israeli vast majority to see olmert and co. a distant nightmare/
14. thank you
Avrohom ,   Brooklyin, NY   (07.09.07)
Shalom fog giving your support to Feiglin (the coming primaries will be between bibi and feiglin) "and may the best man win"
15. GO MOSHE FEGLIN!!!! The only honerable choice.
Jeremiah ,   Israel's Jewish Land   (07.09.07)
16. Feiglin is our ONLY hope.
Shlomo W ,   Woodmere, NY   (07.09.07)
BIBI will desroy Israel if given the chance. Plus Barak will proboby beat him like last time. Bibi wants Jordanians to make order in Yesha, more Olso more Olso. He will never learn. Feiglin is our ONLY hope. He can beat Barak. He has ideology.
17. All the same
Jack ,   Dallas TX USA   (07.09.07)
In the 3 weeks let us pray to the only one who could improve this dangerous situation. The Israeli Gov. is run by the same murderers that founded the state of Israel. Left wing right wing, there all the same crap. G-D is manipulating the Wicked to act wickedly. Olmert is just a Puppet. Let's do teshuva and get out of this crisis.
18. Shalom sound like sour grapes to me.
jan ,   usa   (07.09.07)
19. shalom doesnt understand politcs
zionist forever   (07.10.07)
Silvin Shalom needs to learn a little about how politcs works Natanyahu wants the top job and so obviaously he wants to move the ellections to a time which is going to give him the best chance at winning them thats politcs. He also should be reminded that just because Natanyahu moves the ellections to time which are good for him doesnt mean he will defaintly win it if Likud feel he is the best man for the job then he will be ellected if they dont like him then he will loose. Politicians are not angels who only care about peace, justice and being fair and neither is Natanyahu but the idea that he is running the party like the Syrian baathists is rediculous. Somebody should also tell Shalom the result of Syrias ellections .. Assad was the only candidate and he got 100% of the votes in his favour there are other men standing against Natanyahu and neither of them are going to win by 100%\Its Olmert that wants to get close to Syria and give away the Golan to get himself a nobel peace prize.
