1. Supid leftie article....Bibi never took the credit liars!
freejay ,   Israel   (09.20.07)
And who said the mission was a success? Were you there Eitan? Maybe thats why Olmert is keeping his mouth shut! The sooner you leftie fools lose the power in the government and media, the sooner Israel will become a great nation again!
2. Stupid article: who takes credit
dd dd ,   tel aviv, israel   (09.20.07)
Haber tries to give Rabin credit for Entebbe. However, as Shimon Peres continuously says, it was he who planned and decided to do Entebbe and only later did Rabin try to take his glory.
3. I admit: Bibi's just a hopeless publicity hound
freejay ,   Israel   (09.20.07)
4. What Bibi REALLY said
Besalel ,   Kew Gardens, NY   (09.20.07)
Yavin (interviewer): "With your permission, I'd like to change the subject to the northern front. Listen - we haven't heard you praise Olmert for the operation clouded in secrecy." Netanyahu: "You don't expect me to say-" Yavin: "You haven't said a good word to Olmert, maybe because the polls are tipping in his favor, maybe at your expense..." Netanyahu: "Absolutely not. I think that when the Prime Minister does things that are important and necessary --" Yavin: "So bless him! Netanyahu: "-- and generally when the government acts for the security of Israel, I give my support,” Netanyahu said. “And also here I was privy to this, I must say, from the get-go, and I gave my support – but it is too early to discuss this matter and there is time to give all the blessing and specifically --" Yavin: "Let me understand. Have you blessed him? Netanyahu: "Personally?" Yavin: "For this action?" Netanyahu: "Personally? Yavin: "Yes." Netanyahu: "Yes." Yavin: "OK, we won't elaborate. Because according to foreign reports Israel struck a nuclear facility. Everything is shrouded in secrecy. You are not prepared to elaborate on what you spoke about in your conversation with Olmert?" Netanyahu: "No."
5. Olmert's Parrot Speaks.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (09.20.07)
This guy must be Olmert's last supporter. It must be a tough job psychologically to write articles like this & know everyone thinks you're a fool, a knave, or a total hypocrite. We all know our politicians can't shut up - anything for self-interest, self-promotion, or scoring political points. Netanyahu is no better but no worse on this point. But for all his faults (& there are plenty) they pale in comparison to the current collection of political hacks in Olmert's gov't. Our politicians (Netanyahu included) are a truely nauseating bunch but in the absence of any real choice, I'll still be voting for Netanyahu. He's the best of the worst so to speak. Anything, but not Labour or Kadima. Throw the bums out .....
6. From the serial tuchis kisser.....
Ilan ,   Ariel   (09.20.07)
Talk about reflected glory. His toadyism to Olmert almost surpasses his mindless loyalty to Rabin. If he were smart he wouldn't try to change recent history as his does with events farther back from the publics memory.
7. READ-#4 Everyone Please. Cuts thru this junk
Sam ,   US   (09.20.07)
The full quote provided by number 4 (Besalel) shows what junk this opinion slander article is against Bibi. Bibi has an excellent record of putting aside differences and supporting good operations, like in the Lebanon war ... this looks just like another example. And besides, if he was involved in whatever way, he has the right to say that. As Haber can't help to admit: "His response was honest and accurate", ... even honest?! Haber has no leg to stand on.
8. HOW DARE YOU !.......................................
AVROHOM BILGREI ,   ZION   (09.20.07)
SLANDER BEGIN ? PROJECT UPON THE MAN A TWISTED SPIN ? BEGIN BOMBED THE IRAQI NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, FACT !!! BEGIN WAS OUT SPOKEN IN HIS BOLD DEFENSE OF FLEIGHT SESSATION ON SHABBAT, BY EL AL ; WHILE HE WAS HUMAN , HE WAS NOT A SELF SERVING SOCIOPATH ! HOW ABSOLUTELY SLANDEROUS SOPHMORIC , AND INTELLECTUALLY VULGAR !! THE SUM TOTAL OF THE ENTIRE KENESET & SUPREME COURT CASHE' OF VALUES COULDN'T TIP THE SCALE !
9. Haber hasn't changed.
sk ,   USA   (09.20.07)
Now that other TBers have shown that Haber lied, what will be next? A supportive missive by old Barnea? What is striking, as usual, is low intellectual quality of Ynet's talking heads. Is this what passes for "the intellectual elite" in Israel? Can Ynet find no one of accomplishment who spouts the wacky Bolshevik world view?
10. ANY ONE WITH THE CEREBRAL ..........
(09.20.07)
FUNCTION OF A PLASTIC CARROT & INFORMED........................................ WOULD BE SUMARILY DISQUALIFIED AND CATEGORICALLY NOT CAPABLE OF SUCH SENTIMENTS ! WANTING ," to believe that he was reborn." PERHAPS YOU SHOULD SPEAK FOR YOURSELF AND , NOT COORSE US INTO YOUR DEN OF INEPTI TUDE !
11. Bibi tells the truth
Brod ,   USA   (09.20.07)
Anti-Bibi pundits try to trash Bibi for telling the truth. There is no point hiding the truth. Begin did not lie when Israel took action against Saddam's nuke. Unlike the hypocrites, Bibi did not break the Commandment that says, "Thou shalt NOT lie." It is time for new leadership at the helm that will protect Israel from external pressures and manipulations and from the usurpation and occupation of Islamist-Jihadists.
12. cant this clown ever shot his mouth?
ami ,   israel   (09.20.07)
13. Lies, lies and more Haber twisting
Committee for a ,   Haber-free Israel   (09.21.07)
All Netanyahu said was that he was informed before the raid and congratulated Olmert on its success. Haber is attempting to twist facts - like he usually does, hoping desperately to make the left look like something other than the incompetent morons they are. Down with Olmert! Down with Peres! And once and for all - Down with Haber!
14. A Likud Tradition
Julio Messer ,   New York, NY   (09.22.07)
Before the Entebbe operation, PM Rabin (and DM Peres) sought the support of the head of the opposition Begin –and he blessed it. Some five years later, before the operation against Iraq’s nuclear reactor, PM Begin sought the support of the head of the opposition Peres – but he vehemently opposed it (a position that he maintains to this day!). A quart of a century later, Netanyahu has continued the Likud tradition of supporting the government from the opposition when, as he put it in the interview, “the PM does things that are important and necessary (…) for the security of Israel.” He did so before the Second Lebanon War, and again before the “secret operation in the northern front.” I applaud him for that.
15. Bibi
Syrian Glass Factory ,   Sacramento, USA   (09.21.07)
Say what you will about ole Bibi. He's the only one from Israels major political players with the cajones to back Syria and Iran down.
16. hmmmmmm I'd love to see Bibi's morning glory!!!
