1. Whatever Bibi promises before becoming PM
Marcella   (02.16.09)
and while he secures his coalition should be taken as a simple "suggestion" . He will change his mind more than once, according to his personal interest, that is, his need to remain in power. The Likud right wingers should be ready to revolt at this betrayal. Don't they have any backbone?
2. To all of you "centrists" who want to cede land for "peace"
Marcella   (02.16.09)
remember that you will also have to give up a land corridor between Judea and Gaza. Your country will be divided in two so that Palestine can become a "viable" country. BTW, what's "centrist" about Kadima's plan?
3. BETTER SOLUTION
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (02.16.09)
Why not give up all off the land, our Hellenists hate a Jewish state anyway and then they can live free and clear in Uganda. The way these losers behave , it might the best thing. Israelis have become an embarrassment to themselves and to the rest off the world. The secular Zionist experiment is a total failure in every way and our inheritance off this land is not deserved , with this kind off jokers representing the Jewish people.
4. Leftism is preempting Israel
Brod ,   USA   (02.16.09)
This move is dangerous for and to Israel. Preempting Israel by talking about ceding is treasonous. In other countries, those who advocate such idea will end up in jail for treason. This is the very reason why the Right Wingers won the recent election. Livni is becoming worst than Olmert. The fact is the Land of Israel belongs to the Jews since ancient time which Israel liberated in the 20th century from the Islamist-Jihadist occupiers. The Holy Bible specifically states that the Land of Israel is GOD-given and GOD-restored to the Jews. Israel must defend its historic homeland from its enemies from within and without. By preempting Israel, Livni has shown her true color. She is a clone of Olmert. The road of Leftism is the destruction of Israel in the long term. Israel can do better.
5. Get rid of this fool now!
aL   (02.16.09)
She will lead you to your death.
6. Livni Why did not tell this before election?You would collec
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (02.16.09)
collect arab votes However it is VERY CLEASER Netenyahu took PM minister position soon They will announce new gov and Livni in opposition seats in knessnet it is very clear from her last disclosure of cede land to Arabs.
7. Starting with Tel Aviv
Rivkah Rybak ,   Israel   (02.16.09)
Perhaps even Livni's home? www.yeshabulletin.com
8. MADNESS, SHE WILL SINK KADIMA (I HOPE)
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (02.16.09)
9. Not again!
eh-oop ,   UK   (02.16.09)
Throughout her foreign ministerial office, Livni seems to have consistently raised the expectations of Israel's enemies, thereby hardening their negotiating stance, failed to secure acknowledgement of Israel's interests from Israel's allies and made all manner of injudicious comments. While willing to please, she gives the impression of having no sense of direction and a poor intellect. Probably the last person on earth Israel needs as a minister for the future.
10. CRAZY
Siul ,   Madrid Spain   (02.16.09)
It is a pity, this woman and surely many of her voters are a bit crazy. Give THE HOLY LAND deliver by GOD and win with a cost in jew blood very high, to the ENEMY¡¡, whose principal target is TO DESTROY Israel, Thats decision is the worst. Study the Bible and you will see.
11. I Agree: Let's Cede Livni's Home
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (02.16.09)
Why should others have to suffer?.Let Mrs.Livni put her money where her mouth is,after all ...charity begins at home.How about an even better, albeit novel, approach.What about arabs making "painful concessions" for a change?
12. The Tanach says dividing Land not good
Psalms 83 ,   Selah   (02.16.09)
Joel (Yo'el) 3 1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and PARTED my land. 3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink. 4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
13. WITH OPINIONS LIKE THESE LIVNI IS UNFIT TO BE PM!
stude ham   (02.16.09)
The palis have no claim whatever to the lands of israel... and we have seen that giving them lands to appease the foreign vultures, such as the gaza, does not give us peace. livni has no further contribution to make to israel's history.
14. the more money, the less brains
observer   (02.16.09)
15. You don't have enough territory
Granny ,   VT, USA   (02.16.09)
If you turned over every square inch of Israel, it would not be enough. They will never be happy until you all march into the lifeboats.
16. Certainly NOT a half- national unity
Gideon Reader   (02.16.09)
May I offer a small suggestion? Give up ALL of Livni, and the scant Hellenist ideology that now appears to be crystal clear, even to the unsighted. An ideology and committment of divestiture of the state. Total abandonment of Zionism in all of it's forms and sallies. Shockingly stupid explanations to American Jewish Leaders, whomever they may be, and whom they purport to lead, are as supportive of Israel as those of Mashaal or Nasrallah. The end result being the exact same, albeit with less blood on the floor. In the same Post-Anti Zionist spirit as Armona and Gush Katif, Livni(and Kadima; the party she the "Charwoman" represents) seeks to "dump" the Jews who sacrificed to create the nation of and for Jews after two thousand years. This person has in effect written a letter of challenge to Likud Chairman Netanyahu, wherein she verbally spits in his face and declares she is closer to Abu abbas in her desire not to break a sweat on behalf of Israel. Zipperoo. Get a visa to somewhere and just go. You cannot be trusted to be part of the government of israel. Any government of Israel, regardless of how it may be constituted.
17. Equal Rights for ALL or No Peace
GB ,   Manama, Bahrain   (02.16.09)
When will we see the day when Israel will accept or even promote that all human beings have equal rights that must be respected?
18.  Tzipi is just being honest but politically
AY_Lamb ,   USA   (02.16.09)
it will be to her detriment (if in fact she wants to be the PM) If you look behind the agenda of the UN you will see that the "lease holder" or "land lord" is a country that is growing less and less patient with non-conformist states and entities. The next logical question is "What is the criteria for conformity then?" well it is acceptance of their supersessionist displacement dogma of course. Until quarreling entities or states accept that then the quarreling parties will not receive the coveted affirmation of titular "Democratic State". In this case the palis are one step ahead of you already because they are mostly Muslims and Christian (a.k.a Supersessionist) so the next logical question is what are the consequences Livni alludes too? The one consistent and available instrument of power and influence projection is material commerce wealth and prosperity. Continue to not conform and you will be deprived prosperity in the least case and eliminated and occupied in the worst case.
19. Can't Have it all
Zion22 ,   USA   (02.16.09)
It is impossible for the State of Israel to remain 1. a democracy 2. a jewish state 3. to control the entire land of Israel. The existence of the huge majority of Palestinians in the West Bank and the reality that they are having children at a far greater rate than the Jewish people in Israel make it impossible to have all three. So the Jewish people and more to the point the State of Israel has three options 1) Form a truly aparthied state and suppress the Arabs living in the land of Israel (Unacceptable) 2) Give up on the idea of the Jewish state because if you continue staling in creating a peace plan they will outnumber us in the Land of Israel due to their population growth(Unacceptable) 3) work for and fight for the realistic creation of both an independant Jewish State and an Independant Palestinian State. The decision is up to us but the third option is the only option that doesnt give up on our dream of a real home for the Jewish people in Israel, and also doesnt turn the state of Israel into a tyrannical regime.
20. Starting from scratch
David W. Lincoln ,   Edmonton, Canada   (02.16.09)
More Arabs need to welcome where Nonie Darwish, Bat Yeor and Wafa Sultan are coming from. A preparatory regime in concert with high vigilance directed towards mosques, schools and media outlets will accomplish this.
21. Fools & Knaves.......
Adina Kutnicki ,   Israel, new olah   (02.16.09)
Livni can give up her home and that of all her demented cronies. The real Jewish nationalists will NEVER allow her to divide our homeland. So, according to this demented loon, committing national suicide is how Israel will remain Jewish and democratic. Lunacy does NOT begin to describe such meanderings. Fools and knaves such as this are utterly hopeless. Let's cast them aside by whatever means necessary.
22. the impact
(02.16.09)
the top 15 economies in the world are digging in to preserve their stake in the massive U.S. military budget. With the country in deep recession and resources dwindling for the new administration’s programs on health care, education, and the environment, the outcome of this battle may well end up defining the next four years. “you will just get mowed down by the defense industry.” The Umbilical Cord used to nurse Israel in the old golden days, with arms and ammunition, would be at least strangulated. See the impact of the international crisis on Israel in a video: http://dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/2009/01/16/israel-issues-false-propaganda-to-cover-up-war-crimes/
23. Give up more land
Bob Wallace ,   Jacksonville, FL   (02.16.09)
This lady is nuttier than OMERT. Give and Arab and inch, and he will take a mile.
24. Bibi Is Right: But Hard to Enforce
Dav Lev ,   Burbank, CAUSA   (02.16.09)
To my fellow co-religionists. I know it's easy trom far away to give advice. This is the bottom line: is peace a delusion, an illuson, or reality? Does giving away 50% vs 97% of the land make a real difference to the Arabs? What are their real goals? Livni is living a delusion. Bibi is living in reality. Enforcing reality is much harder however. UN242 vs the Road Map, vs Oslo vs Allon Plan, vs Saudi Plan..which is feasible? Personally, my belief: The Arab/Muslim world wants one thing...Israel's destruction, along with it's Jewish inhabitants. Am I a doom and gloomer..you bet.
25. Livni Tipsy, what have you been drinking
Zohan ,   Tel Aviv   (02.16.09)
You should have said it before the election and the results will be the other way round. In other words, you betrayed us. Gaza was given up for peace. Look what happen now. You're a complete idiot Livni
26. How she hates Israel
Hen   (02.16.09)
She is obsessed with destroying it, even though the 'Aza withdrawal didn't work. Imagine how much hatred a person like this has, and 20% still voted for her because they are boundary-less post traumatic stress disordered people - they think this is a "leader" - just unbelievable.
27. Words to live(or die)by
Gideon Reader   (02.16.09)
To GB#17 in Manama, Bahrain you will see that day when those purporting to be humans desirious of respect, who want equal rights cease teaching hate to their children, stop their efforts at base murder, and respect those from whom they wish respect. For you I present a short and clear rule of thumb for intrapersonal relationships: Treat me nice; I'll treat you nicer. Treat me bad; I'll make your life hell.
28. Give Up Half Of Livni
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (02.16.09)
Or,alternatively,just give away the whole land of Israel...after all we can always go back to the Warsaw Ghetto.Livni you are a disgraceful Dhimmi.
29. Livni So Desperate To Be Loved
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (02.16.09)
She will even give away half of her country to the enemy,she is nothing if not generous.
30. this will mark your doom day, israel
watching   (02.16.09)
the second you cede any size of jewish land, you will reap the consequences. mark my word.
