FOR HOW ELSE CAN WE GAIN INTELLIGENCE FROM THE ARABS ?
2. Time to DUMP Netanyahu for good
Marcel ,   Florida   (08.20.09)
How long will this Livni in a suit play his scam on Israel's defenders while he licks the shoes of Obama ?
3. Bibi and Barak
Bibi and Barak ,   USA   (08.20.09)
The question is why Bibi and Barak are so quick to defend Peace Now. Do they share some mutual interest? http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com
4. unacceptable?
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (08.20.09)
Netanyahu thinks Ya'alon's remarks are unacceptable, yet he thinks that it is acceptable to betray his voters. If Netanyahu has it in him, let him call for one-on-one elections, Boogy vs. Bibi. Everyone knows that Ya'alon would defeat Netanyahu. Bibi, do us a favor: resign.

8. slamder
colin   (08.20.09)
A new word by the press TRUTH EQUALS SLANDER Yaalon only said what the majority of the populations feels.Peace now in the pay of Brittan and the arabs are traiters living in permissive Israel.Peace now acts only for the leftests whom most people are discusted with. Peace now does not care for the future os Israel being a jewish state.
9. Bibi
Ricardo Macher ,   KarneiShomron-Israel   (08.20.09)
Bibi should read between the lines, his love with Barak and the left will finally bring true Likudniks like Moshe Feiglin and Bogie Ayalon to power and the whole of Am Israel will vote for them. Peace Now IS a cancer, they are against Israel, and Pines and his like are well known losers. They are the Erev Raa!
10. sad to say
sas ,   israel   (08.20.09)
but this entire government is one big virus. the truth hurts. bibi u r a failure. livni - as an opposition leader you and your new knesset members are all superstars. (namhna shai - can you explain what u r doing????? danny ayaylon - can you give an explanation besides using tax payers money with your fancy cars and arriving at cocktails (ecuador ) 3 hours late???????????? you set up apptoinments, arrange entrnce into the knesset and then you do not appear?????????? who do you think u r?? WE know. you where the wrong person at the right place at the right time. intelligent u r not. brains you lack. you joined a party where you thought you had some kind of chance - not because of a belief. I hope you fall with lieberman - the biggest crook./liar around today.
11. Yaalon
Meir ,   Arad   (08.20.09)
Yaalons remarks not only are acceptable they are also welcome. Most of the electorate expressed themselves by voting rightists political parties in the last elections. Most of the public see the skid marks of PN as revolting.
12. Ya'alon for the PM.
Jewish Refugee   (08.20.09)
Ya'alon is the most humble, straightforward, and of coure pro-Jewish. That is why he should be our next PM.
13. virus is a much milder word than occupation, apartheid, nazi
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (08.20.09)
expressions that Peace Never and the likes use against the entire State of Israel Peace Never, B'Sheker, Machsom idiots actually are enablers of Arbs to murder Jews and participate in violent demonstrations against IDF
14. comment about peace now.
miri ,   miami usa   (08.20.09)
Israel is a democracy. that means people can speak freely. just because a man is in public office doesn't mean he loses that right.
15. comments and opinions
miri ,   miami usa   (08.20.09)
THANKS, SCOTT
16. Ya'alon is right and Bibi is selling Israel out.
Avraham ,   nyc   (08.20.09)
17. YA'ALON, DON'T BACK DOWN
Arthur   (08.20.09)
Smell the coffee, Bibi. People elected you to defend the country, not Israel's enemies.
18. Who on the Right will leave Yaalon to hang out to dry?
Steve Klein   (08.20.09)
Not me. Not from what I am reading thus far. It seems General Yaalon is demonstrating integrity and moral courage. YNet reported: "One of the harshest responses to these remarks came from Knesset Member Ophir Pines-Paz (Labor), who said, "Ya'alon has revealed his real face. Like many before him, he found refuge in wild incitement against the peace camp," the MK said. " The "peace" camp. Only the most cynical of men would say, "war is peace."
19. #2 Would to G-d that we could dump YOU for good.You're just
an evil person in a ,   polyester suit!!!!!   (08.20.09)
20. Actually, Ya'alon is right on.He is much smarter than Bibi,
&more military savvy ,   than Barak.   (08.20.09)
21. Benji is a COWERED
KACH 613 ,   Judah, Israel   (08.20.09)
hay Benji you can say it dosnt represent your government but it sure as hell represents all the people that voted 4 you!!! Bibi you are a cowered and you have no BALLS!!!!!
22. Yaalon is a man of COURAGE
Steven ,   San Francisco   (08.20.09)
Finally a man of integrity who is unafraid to speak what is the absolute truth. Peace Now is a virus, and in fact, can be considered a cancer, which has and if allowed to continue unchecked, will damage Israel's future and cause much hardship and tragedy for those who love the land of Israel and care deeply about the future of the Jewish people in Israel.
23. Queue the outrage from the usual suspects ...
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (08.20.09)
How is it that provocative words from the left and Arab sectors are never deemed "incitement"? I've heard far worse from them. The word "virus" has an unfortunate history, but that aside there's not much to dispute in Yaalon's words. Seriously, Peace Now has done nothing but give aid and comfort to the enemy, and lull the Israeli populace into making concessions that have gotten people killed. Bibi must know he'll never get the Peace Now crowd to vote for him, so his displeasure may reflect his desire not to alienate that part of the left standing with him against US pressure. Or he just doesn't like Boogie hanging with his bete noire, Feiglin. A lot of folks don't like how Bibi's spine has turned soft under US pressure. Maybe Yaalon's words will get him to man up.
24. Virus - is a very light definition
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (08.20.09)
I would call Shalom Ahshav, Machsom Watch, Yesh Gvul and all the rest of the dwarfs an defeatests by their true name: cancer in out midst.
25. Civil matters
Discourse ,   USA   (08.20.09)
The minister's opinions are his. He is entitled to them. The name calling and tone of delivery, however, is not civil nor conducive to calm, intelligent, perceptive discourse and lacks respect. It is the manner of registering opposing idea that is regrettable.
26. Stay the course Bogi!
Ginette Golden ,   Toronto, Canada   (08.20.09)
Kol a kavod Mr. Ya'alon. Unlike your colleagues at the Knesset, you are a politician without a (fake) mask. What's the matter with Bibi? Did he forget the days of "Raid on Entebbe"? Is he suddenly afraid of politicians with balls? I think I understand enough about Bogi to know that he is a man who would rather resign that retract his comments. Mr. Netanyahu, Israeli voted for you because they thought you were different from the Kadima Party; it turns out you're not. # 4 is right. If Bogi had run for office, there would have been no contest...bye bye Bibi!
27. YA ALON IS OUR HERO. NETANYAHU IS A COWARD
(08.20.09)
28. Technically it is a EU funded parasite
Ilan ,   Ariel   (08.20.09)
29. He is 1000% right,they are nasty virus,that needs to be stam
Yoav Naor ,   Haifa Israel   (08.20.09)
That needs to be stamped out.They cause untold damage to Israel.They collude with the nastiest anti-Israeli groups.
30. yaalon's remarks
alexi   (08.20.09)
Peace now and beilin and olmert and livni and oz and barnea are entitled to their views in a free society. i disagree with them completely but they are free to say what they want. As Background, yaalon was the author of defensive shield, an excellent operation that rooted out terror. Peace now would not recognize that. Thousands of israelis have been killed or maimed because of oslo supported by the various parties. That's what yaalon was trying to say. And I agree with him though it was probably inevitable. Hamas wants israel destroyed but peace now thinks they will live in peace with us. i choose to live in a strong israel. Peace now prefers rockets at ben gurion airport and tel aviv.
