1. Time for change
Isabella ,   Israel   (08.14.07)
Stop making excuses Bibi. If people wanted to vote, they'd find a way of doing so. The fact is, the vast majority of the population have lost faith in everyone that calls themself a Knesset member. The next step would be to encourage young Israelis to be the next generation to run this country. You an your cronies should step down, find a field, and put yourselves out to graze.
2. This is the problem with this country.
Adam Segal ,   Raanana   (08.14.07)
When the people have the opportunity to speak and to do something about the situation we are in, they do nothing. Not only is Olmert a failure, but unfortunately, so are the people of Israel.
3. Netanyahu made an arrogant mistake
Ilan ,   Ariel   (08.14.07)
Netanyahu wanted to push this date for the primaries and as a result Shalom dropped out of the race. Now he is complaining about a low turnout. He brought this down on himself, then opted not to debate Danone or Feiglin which further limited coverage and interest in the race.
4. Wow! the years have been unkind to Sara!
Talula ,   Israel   (08.14.07)
She was never what you'd call eye candy, but now she just looks like Bibi's doda!
5. Bibi's supporters are scared and are attacking Feiglin's
David H   (08.14.07)
In Kiryat Ata and Yavne, election observers from Moshe Feiglin’s campaign were physically removed from the polling stations. The observers are allowed to be there by law and the two who were kicked out were officially registered. In Migdal HaEmek, huge pictures of Netanyahu are hanging around the actual polling station, contrary to party bylaws. Bibi's supporters first dismissed Feiglin as having no chances. As polls have been showing lately, support for Feiglin is increasing. Let's hope that Moshe is given a fair chance and that no dirty tricks to stop him are used in this primary.
6. Talula! b nice Mrs. Bibi & Zelda Fitzgerald r kindred
spirits. really ,   b nice   (08.14.07)
7. #4 low blow leave Mrs. Netanyahu out of it.
(08.14.07)
8. #2 Right & Wrong
YB   (08.14.07)
You are right that the Israeli people are doing nothing to change the situation. However you are wrong in suggesting that today is the opportunity for us to make changes, Bibi and the rest of his colleges are all a bunch of politicians, they JUST want that seat. Let’s not forget that Olmert was once a Likudnick and so was the so called right winger Sharon, and look what they have done to us. We need to pray for the Moshiach, and may G-d help us soon from our enemies including the left and our politicians.
9. #4 Woman age faster
Sara   (08.14.07)
Give him credit that he stuck around.
10. You get what you pay for.
Shimmon ,   Tzfat   (08.14.07)
If you act like sheep expect to get sheered like sheep. Shame on you all for not standing up and changing the corrupt Leftist takeover of our country. Bahh Bahh Bahhh
11. Main problem is getting out the vote
Steve ,   USA   (08.14.07)
B"H If potential Prime Minister Feiglin led his supporters to vote, he could soon be standing as the head of the Likud. A head of Israel will be the head of the military of Israel. To motivate the troops, a good indication is if one can motivate the voters to go to the booth. This is an incredible possibility standing in potential before us.
12. Bibi must really be scared now
Etoile ,   Chicago IL   (08.14.07)
He is using every single tactic to gain as many votes as possible. The fact is that Feiglin leads a group of dedicated people who care about the Likud's future, while Bibi's "supporters" don't seem to even care enough to show up on their own. Not to mention Feiglin's platform is supported by the vast majority of the party. After seeing this, it is clear that Bibi is fighting against someone who truly represents the Likud platform. http://www.iitvnews.com/media/44/Challenging_Netanyahu/
13. Remeber.."ONLY BIBI CAN DELIVER.." what?? another land sale?
Nebojsa Yitzchak M ,   Toronto   (08.14.07)
Is it his to sell? Why to recycle only idiots when Israel really has such a great pool to choose from... anyone from the Jewish Directory of Hebron? Tzwat? c'mon .. those yo'yo's are tired of power and arrogance so should be you as well send them to retirement so the country can have chance to survive. Israel is not for sale, local idits are....
14. Wow! Sara looks like a California real estate agent having a
very bad day ,   poor thing   (08.14.07)
15. stop feeling sorry for yourselves and do s/t
stop the apathy   (08.14.07)
16. Here it is about 1 a.m. Israeli time and no update here
Steve ,   USA   (08.14.07)
B"H If results are expected about 12 p.m. this announcement is being delayed for some reason it seems.
17. Bibi

18. You can do it Moshe!!!
Raf ,   Israel   (08.14.07)
Please G-d, let Moshe Feiglin win!! He's the only candidate with a fear of heaven who represents the Likud and the Jewish people!!
