So what was her mission there? She sat between Kate Hudson (!) and Jewel(!), very important figures on the political arena. Now Hamas and Hizbabullah feel truly intimidated - Kate Hudson and Jewel! Upon hearing these formidable news, Ahmadinejad announced his resignation, ayatollahs hung themselves in the bathrooms, and North Korea disarmed. Ah, and Bin Ladin admitted to coming out of the closet after watching Grey's Anatomy. But he continued hiding in fear of fatwah against him. Suha Arafat returned all the stolen money to the Palestinians and moved permanently to Gaza City. Phew, thank you Livni, the world peace has been restored now!

It's about time. She is the real deal. Medical services for all; true education reforms - meaning, USA having Presidents with education above 8th grade :o)

She is astute and articulate - and certainly could be a future PM---You go girl!!

#2: Foreign affairs is slightly more sophisticated than your sarcastic posting describes. Developing political and personal relationships with all types of people is of huge tactical benefit to Israel in solving its various conflicts. A lot more people listen to Bono, especially the leftist ignorant politically correct intellectuals such as those who recently proposed boycotts against Israel for example, than Israel's "respectable" allies such as US political elite. Keep up the good work, Tzipi. Apart from Bono, this week she met Hilary and Bill Clinton and the Emir of Qatar. She thinks out of the box, and isn't constrained by knee jerk responses like that of #2.

Thinks out of the box? Looks a lot more like she can't think for herself... Anyone who moved from the Likud to Kadima... ie all of the tainted MKs... is NOT thinking out of the box... but putting herself IN the box... Besides, if she wants to play "S Peres".. Shimon can play better any day.... Just "google" "Shimon Peres and...." in images, and you will get Shimon licking up to any celebrity in the world... usually of the feminine sex... Tov, nu, Hope she ejnoyed the bash.. I am sure it cost a lot to you and me!!!!

Realx, people, that is diplomacy.

She is NOT the real deal but more of the same. 1) She will dumb down education even more. 2) She plans on banning home schooling. Like what they presently have done in germany. 3) Healthcare for all?!?!? I live right next to Canada and if it is anything like what they have. Forget it!!!! 4) Also, believe it or not. Bush speaks Spanish. Hillary trys to fake a southern accent 5) AND she believes if Israel gives even more land away, we (the USA) will have even more peace. Do you really want that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did she also thank belafonte for his anti semitic remarks of a couple of years ago. Also to #8 Will hillary invite terrorists to the White House like her husband did with arafat 11 times? Who was the president of the U.S. with an eigth grade education. How about Hillary who went to Yale with the pass/fail policy. No grades. I do not like bush,but he is a lot more honest than both clintons together times ten. Finally we have a "president" here in Israel without a college education and a draft dodger like bill clinton!

Univ. of Pennsylvania - is it good enough for you? And it's "know that", not "no that". now I KNOW why you love Bush so much - his shortcomings justify your pathetic existence...

maybe his daddy put him through a prestigious college, but he didn't learn a thing. Not even at school - his speech and use of grammar suggest that he never was awake in class since 6th grade. Anything else? Bush - honest? Are you following the news? At all? He is not a draft dodger? Buy a newspaper, would you?

how to read it. By the way he was a pilot in the Texas air reserve.; What the hell was peres? What was olmert?

Two photos of Foreign Minister Livni appear in Ha Aretz on the net today (2 October, 2007). Each seems to show a newly reconstructed nose! Who deserves the credit? A specialist in Ha Aretz art department? If so, s/he can easily find other patients wanting similar plastic surgery and willing to pay a modest fee. The surgeons ask too much.

A Tale of Honesty... During the 1968–1974 period, Presidents Johnson and Nixon decided against calling up National Guard units for service in Vietnam. As a result, National Guard service was widely portrayed as a way to avoid combat. The waiting list for the Guard at that time was extremely long, and there have been charges that young men from influential families were improperly moved to the top of the list. Bush jumped to the top of a list of over 500 applicants for his position as a pilot despite receiving the minimum passing score (25) on the pilot entrance aptitude test and listing no other qualifications. Other reports indicated that although there were many candidates interested in weekend enlisted duty, there were fewer, if any, people who were both sufficiently educated to qualify for an officer pilot position and willing to commit to the more than one year of full-time service required of Air National Guard pilots. Ben Barnes, the former Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives and Lieutenant Governor of Texas, stated under oath that he had called the head of the Texas Air National Guard, Brig. Gen. James Rose, to recommend Bush for a pilot spot at the request of Bush family friend Sidney Adger. Later, Barnes repeated these claims in an interview with CBS News on September 8, 2004. Former Texas legislator Jake Johnson has stated that before General Rose died, Rose told him that he had been responsible for Bush's acceptance into the Guard. In a 1994 interview, Bush stated that he joined the Guard because "I was not prepared to shoot my eardrum out with a shotgun in order to get a deferment. Nor was I willing to go to Canada. So I chose to better myself by learning how to fly airplanes." The unit in which Bush served was known as a "Champagne unit," where the scions of the Texas aristocracy could avoid combat duty with relatively few demands on their time. The explanations of proof for his actual avoidance of service are too long to list. Basically it looks like he abandoned his service after he reached the end of his ability to improve his pilot skills. In September 2004, the 527 group "Texans for Truth" (as well as few other groups), offered a $50,000 reward to anyone who could prove that Bush fulfilled his service requirements by either "first-hand, eye-witness testimony," or authentic "documentary evidence." As of 2007, the reward has still not yet been paid.

I may not be as educated as you..an Ivy school like University of Penn. That is aIvy league school? I would think of an Ivy school like Harvard, Yale, Princeton..maybe you didn't get the grades required so you went to Univ. of PA. Anyways I am a woman WHO SERVED MY COUNTRY ( which I can not say the same for you) I would never vote for Hillary why?? Because dems have very low morals..they want to keep minorities stupid and dependent on welfare and government programs. They will give Israel away to the Arabs, and they will destroy the US military by giving our secrets to the highest bidder ( China-that is what Clinton did). I am shocked that you would support a person like this? especially since you claim you love Israel and I am not even JEWISH!!!! I believe in working hard for what you have, I will never vote for Hillary! you should be ashamed.

And yes, I guess you are not educated enough to know that there are 9 Ivy League schools (like Columbia, Brown and others). UPenn happens to rank 4th in USA, and I used to live next to it due to my husband's work in US. Bush brought nothing but disgrace and suffering to his own country, and to every other country that his bosses, Cheney and other oil sugar-daddies, told him to destroy. 9/11 was a gift from Bin Laden to start something they planned all along to keep the oil prices profitable after the hi-tech people hijacked their rule of the corporate America (not to mention the "watering" of the gene pool at the top due to hi-tech's racial and ethnic versatility). Bush is no friend to Israel either, it takes a person who identifies himself with Bush's flaws (the only premise of his electoral appeal) to buy all the horrendous propaganda you were spoon-fed these few years. Look how much damage he caused around the world in such a short period of time. Americans who believe his BS remind me of an oblivious mother who believes her spoiled son every time he says "I didn't break it, it was like that". You all express your opinions about Olmert and Peres (not that I hold either of them in great esteem), but nobody can say a word about Bush? Yeah, that is his style of "freedom" that he's been disseminating around the world. What's the count of dead Americans by now? I know that dead Iraqis and Afghanis mean nothing to you. They are less human and don't count, according to Bush and Cheney clique. The funniest part is that you are blind/naive enough to think that Bush-Cheney are taking care of your interests. But even if you believe this lullaby I still think that YOU deserve better. You work hard to have little, and he didn't have to move a finger to have everything, and now you defend him? The Republican party is built on your gullibility. You are the victim, not the victor.
