ugly chauvinism of Israeli politics rears its head Ariana Melamad Surely the Troika have all showed themselves Jerks, in the matter of dicisionsmaking regarding security matters. The problems with Hamas before and after the op Cast Lead are the same. That is why Hamas consider themselves Victors. The rockets are still coming and will eventually kill more Israeli Civilians. A second round is therefore needed. Both Olmert and Barak has realy showed themselves the Equal of LIvni in this matter . I think The Lady Mariana herself have to get rid and be saved from her Own Contra-chauvinism , because the Troika are all EQUALS Orao..

Livni was responsible for the disastrous truce with Hizbullah. She was pushed into a premature truce by another female virtuoso named Rice while our soldiers were deep into Lebanese territory with the resultant loss of life. Subsequently she mouthed words to the effect that Olmert must "go" but didn't have the guts to follow through with it.

If you are to use the word chauvinism, please use it correctly. It is an abstract noun and therefore cannot stand on it own. Somehow women have usurped the word as their own to relate to the male gender. Was it not a male soldier in the army of Napoleon from whence we take this word. It is not whether I agree or disagree with your thesis, however, please do not hijack a language for your own agenda.

This article is a piece of trash. It should be put in a garbage can, not published.

Phd in What? I'll bet that means you're smart enough to understand the word misogyny, because it quite obviously is something you are personally familiar with. And I thought Bostonians had some class. Go Pahk your Cah elsewhere.

True about the old cronies.

You feel honestly.No need to beat around the bush.

Man builds the Trains.............

Probably bibi will be next PM but if I would be in Israel I would vote for liberman, at least his honest about his intentions and there not that irrational, and probable hamas would really think twice before firing a rocket with him on command.
