31. # 7 Please Just not that
Chaim ,   Canada   (02.11.09)
Please don't ask Horowitz go back to journalism. The reason Israelis are so divided is because the leftist Meretz types are brainwashing them on TV.
32. Alon K: "manipulation of the masses through key sentence.."
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (02.11.09)
Alon K (#24) writes of the media's "constant manipulation of the masses through a key sentence/phrase thrown here and there". I came to understand this in the aftermath of the Michigan primary for President in 1976. One report claimed Carter had made a "strong showing" against his opponents, while a second claimed he had "trounced" his opponents. They were looking at the *same electoral results*! Carter, of course, went on to become our worst president in living memory. One is tempted to say Meretz has been "mugged by reality". But after such a mugging, a normally intelligent person will reconsider his earlier assumptions and beliefs. But this is *Meretz* we're talking about. Instead of recognizing that the electorate no longer believes as Meretz does, they will rationalize their defeat. Recall how, after Labor's defeat in 1977, the left insisted the people had made the "wrong choice".
33. ONE BIG JOKE
WILLY WONKA ,   UK   (02.11.09)
THEY SHOULD CALL THEMSELVES, THE PROZAK PARTY. MEREZT HAVE, ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE 1 BIG JOKE. END .
34. Zahava Gal-On
Chuck ,   Israel   (02.11.09)
Only because of Zahava Gal-On, I voted for Meretz. Zahava Gal-On has been the only Knesset member that has cared about the fact of the human destruction that happens on our highways month after month. She is also the only Knesset member that answers her own emails in a timely fashion.
35. My neighbor Terry
Ethan ,   Eilat   (02.11.09)
Meretz wants to preserve traditional Jewish values, not to be sucked into the feudalistic middle eastern culture as the right does.
36. It's time for Meretz to go through some "de-Baathification"
Jake   (02.12.09)
before it finds itself on the wrong side of history.
37. One flew over the cuckoo's nest
Jake   (02.12.09)
...and another one bites the dust.
38. #35: "Meretz wants to preserve tradional Jewish values"
Jake   (02.12.09)
Those "values" are about as Jewish as a pork scratching in a Bar-mitzvah.
