Tails ,   Spain   (02.14.09)
3. Is this for real or a joke?
Maurice ,   Montreal   (02.14.09)
If they really want to destroy Labour they should give a chance to Peretz who showed how totally useless he is during the Lebanon war.
4. Peretz hasn't yet turned the binoculars to the right side
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (02.14.09)
to see that he is a loud mouth incompetent idiot
5. Boy is Labor sufferwed in this election.
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (02.14.09)
I'd hate to see it's standing with Peretz to "Putz" as leader in the next.
6. Amir Peretz is both right and wrong
Sagi ,   Israel   (02.14.09)
He is right that Barak should resign. He is wrong in thinking that he is the right man for the job. Barak is a first class choice for Defense, no one will argue with that, yet Pertz declares it would be "unethical and immoral" if he were to continue as DM in another party led Government. This in essence is what is wrong with our system,the wrong person gets the job and the right one is left on the sidelines because of his "political color". Peretz is the living proof of this folly.
7. Peretz the Putz runs again
jeremy ,   hula valley kibbutz   (02.14.09)
Peretz the Putz runs again, yeah that's the ticket. Please take over the Labour party, that we once and for all the crazy left will disappear.
8. Neither has Peretz any credibility left
Realist   (02.14.09)
Both need to go if Labor wants to survive.
9. Amir Peretz
Ethan ,   Eilat   (02.14.09)
Is living proof that all you need in Israel is to shout loud. He is an empty wagon. Labor needs a blood transfusion to rebuild itself.
10. Hahaha
Malone ,   Hfx   (02.14.09)
Just what Labor needs...Peretz.
11. Pssst. Want to go to the cinema"
Gideon Reader   (02.14.09)
The Putz is back. And he is bigger and dumber than ever before. You'll laugh. You'll cry. Cast of thousands. Crime. Foolishness. Wasting resources and money. Love. Danger. The security of the state and other silly things. And in the signature role that made him a household name in Lebanon,....Amir Peretz IS the the PUTZ! Watch him lose a war. See him try to figure out what is going on around him. Ssit on the edge of your seat as he worms his way through the halls of power never making a correct move. It is Amir Peretz as the character you loved. In Labors new monster film; a sure Golden Globe and Academy Award winner, It's....."Return of the Putz". Coming soon to a political party near you..
12. Talk about going from bad to worse...
Noa ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (02.14.09)
13. Peretz, give me a break.
Wise Saba ,   Israel   (02.14.09)
I bet he wants to be defense minister again. This guy is a joke!
14. Now they have really hit rock bottom!!!!!!
Zev Taff ,   Kfar Vradim   (02.14.09)
15. Peretz the DM who made Lebanon such a success
zionist forever   (02.14.09)
If Peretz wants Kadima to win by a landslide next time around then becoming chairman is the right way to do it. At pessach we clean the house get rid of all the hometz. The Knesset is full of nothing but hometz Livni, Peretz, Bibi, Barak, Liberman and all the rest of them they are all hometz and if the country is to have a future it needs a clean out get rid of every single one of them. We need compient people running a non corrupt electoral system thats truly democratic and creates stable, non colaition and representetive government.
16. barak and peretz
Alexi   (02.14.09)
i don't care for barak but he is a very cautious and methodical commando and he did help with the gaza operation. As opposed to that end, Peretz and olmert screwed up the lebanon operation which I could have done a better job at. peretz is a total buffoon and ignoramus, while Olmert is a gutless coward who now wants to let Turkey back in again as a mediator in syria surrender. Olmert and peretz have no judge of character ability are worth zero to Israel. Barak has done well in the idf, he was a lousy politican and PM but he did help with gaza. Peretz is in no position to talk.
17. WHAT IS PERETZ SMOKING?
lildoobird ,   Jerusalem   (02.15.09)
18. Great! That will guarantee Labor is finished.
Nudnik   (02.15.09)
19. Give Peretz
Sam ,   US   (02.15.09)
a labor chair!
20. The only "total divorce" should be Israel from Peretz. And.
mea   (02.15.09)
Ehud Barack is a war hero and did an excellent job in Gaza alongside Ashkenazi. This as opposed to the disasterous leadership of Peretz during the Lebanon War. This man is not respected in Israel and seen as a clown in the US. You want US support for defense? Then I wouldn't allow this man in any positon related to defense. I especially would not allow him speaking to Foggy Bottom at a time Iran is quaking on it's heels to nuke Israel, and Obama is dumb enough to talk to Hamas. What will Peretz do besides embarrass Israel again and possibly cause real problems. Don't do it. Please do not allow Peretz back in!
21. That's a WONDERFUL Idea, Mr. Peretz.
Esther ,   Ofarim, Israel   (02.15.09)
You'll give this ailing, obsolete party of has-beens the death blow and it will vanish in the annals of history as a party destroyed by incompetent egomaniacal fools.
