1. Livini SHould Stop Undermining Our Government
Hesh ,   Bet Shemesh, Israel   (10.12.09)
Livini seems to think that world favor comes first, above security or what is our best interests - she apparently thinks that we should do whatever the world tells us so they will like us better - she fails to realize that we are a soveriegn nation. G-d bless Bibi for not compromising on issues that are dangerous to Israelis and Israel's existence. If the world is against us, so be it, Israelis are not willing to make the sacrifices needed for the world to pretend they love us.
2. If Livni thinks Obama was humiliated...
David ,   Hartford USA   (10.12.09)
she's nuts. She said, "You have managed to humiliate the only partner for a peace settlement Israel has." Obama is no friend of Israel when it comes to negotiations with the PA. If she doesn't understand this, then she needs to resign. Bibi gave one of the finest speeches heard at the UN in decades- and the world agreed. Livni is off the mark and maybe is now showing Israel that she is out of her league.
3. Boy I am glad she flunked israeli PMship
Palestine dove ,   afula   (10.12.09)
You just listen to wolf in sheep clothing wooden tonguegrinding the steel jaws how pathetic
4. Libni
IJ Aron ,   Haifa   (10.12.09)
She's such a loser. Never accomplished anything in all her different offices.
5. LIVNI - THE GAZA OP WAS YOUR PARTY'S BRAINCHILD!
stude ham   (10.12.09)
is livni trying trying to cover up yet another corrupt party member? you know... the one who made 10,000 US$ vanish magically... what a foolishly transparent political woman this livni.
6. Only Herself
John ,   Miami   (10.12.09)
Livni does not look out for the well being of Israel but rather for herself only. Netanyahu is exactly the type of PM Israel needs at times like thtese where Obama is president and the State is being pressed to give up land for more attacks basically. If Livni really cared for Israel she would join his government and unify the government and strengthen it.
7. ISRAEL has already lost world support. FACT !!!
USA   (10.12.09)
8. Livni like the rest of the LEFT are on the terrorists payrol
Hang the LEFT ,   for TREASON   (10.12.09)
OIL PAYS FOR TREASON!
9. If to be "humiliated" were a source of income, all Arabs...
Eitan ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (10.12.09)
...be multi-millioners. Why is it less humiliating to constantly be told by the Arabs that we, Jews, don't constitute a people - despite nearly 4,000 years of our existence as such - and we do not deserve to have our nation-state on earth - despite the fact that the entire international community has come to accept Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people by right?
10. Look who's talking
Inyaki ,   Bilbao, Basque   (10.12.09)
1. Bibi didn't promote the dis-engagement, which probably was a direct cause of the last Gaza war. 2. Bibi didn't start that stupid operation, but rather Livni and her like were responsible for it. 3. If there were crimes committed, she is inderectly responsible ( 2 wars) along with Olmert (2 wars) and Ehud Barak ( 1 war). 4. I think she's hot on Bibi.
11. Livni, always impressive in showing why she isn't PM
The Dude   (10.12.09)
Dear Minister Livni, Please do yourself, your party, and your nation a favor and think before you speak, emotional diatribes are not fitting of a Prime Minister. The fact that you talk about losing 'bastions' of support is ridiculous, you name Turkey, Britain, and Europe... and I must ask during the second intifada and second Lebanon war, were any of these countries or regions in support of us? No you say? And you expect them to do a sudden 180? The fact is Obama defeated himself, first by atrocious domestic policies, second by having only one foreign policy, and third making that one foreign policy making peace between us and the palestinians. He has literally put all his eggs in one basket for any kind of success, and he has so far failed, miserably. The Palestinians continue to humiliate themselves, expecting everything for nothing. Launching rockets and demanding to be immune to response, crying poverty but are the highest per capita recipients of aid money, demanding recognition and recognizing Jews as the descendants of monkeys and pigs. The one who should be congratulated is you Mrs. Livni, for being best capable person to ignore reality and still spew verbal diarrhea with no shame. Best, The Dude
12. Livni .. the worst sore loser the world has ever seen
appalled ,   israel   (10.12.09)
i used to like Livni but after these outrageous remarks she can take a hike to gaza with theother group that loves bashing bibi .. as for her remark about beating obama, good for bibi, obama is dead worng on settlements .. as for humilating palestinians, they humilate jews everyday and even now are using the goldstone report to go after ... LIVNI .. she may realize that she now needs bibi to protect her .. power hungry and egotistical .. she has shown why she should not be prime minister
13. What have u done?
Eyal ,   USA   (10.12.09)
You are such a sore looser Zipora. Just shut your mouth already. You are so bitter and angry. Take chill peel already, you are totally embarrassing yourself and your administration. Can I ask a simple question Zippi... What have you done for Israel? You could have won the war in Gaza, could have freed Schalit and you caved to the world like a little girl. Let reall man do their job please.
14. earth to livni there was a vote that was cancelled
dan ,   haifa israel   (10.12.09)
She makes it like that no one would have known the vote was cancelled. It was in many publications that it was cancelled and had nothing to do with boasting.
15. LIvni the vote was deferred for six months
jeff ,   nyc usa   (10.12.09)
It was an action that was reported in many news wires. It wasn't israel that caused the news to leak out. A vote that was set was cancelled.
16. Livni is saying obvious things,
Krzysztof ,   Heidelberg/Germany   (10.12.09)
unfortunately so few of you see it... Far-rightist government with foreign minister Lieberman is doing the worst service to Israel. Arab countries and leftist public opinion are mounting a wall of criticism, a part of which the Israeli policies are responsible for. You should disconnect from the occupation and settlers as fast as you can. Increase the Jewish majority with settlers and minimize the Arab minority with cutting off the Arab districts of Jerusalem. Finish building the wall and withdraw. Concentrate on your development, economy, education, normal life, and not defending occupation and falling into traps of another wars...
17. Oh nonsense, woman
Cameron ,   USA   (10.12.09)
No wonder you're on the outside looking in.
18. #1
Mizrahi ,   London   (10.12.09)
I think you will find that in most democracies, the opposition party's role IS to undermine the government. Let's not forget that a main basis for the attempted coalition between Likud and Kadima failed on the to leaders' opinions about a future Palestinian state. Low and behold, Netenyahu changed his mind and proclaimed his support for a (albeit, a completely suffocated and hamstrung after US pressure commanded so) Palestinian state shortly after. You will find that this speech undermined the fanatic parties who he co-opted into Likud's coalition Additionally, keeping strategically important regional relations strong is as essential to security as Netenyahu's 'strong leadership'. Only the right-wing fanatics can negate such logic.
19. #16 wrong
(10.12.09)
Zippy is one of the Israeli leaders that Goldstein accuses of being a war criminal, not Lieberman or Netanyahu
20. livni,olmert and peres should be locked
jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.12.09)
up in a mental institution. We do not need these quislings talking to the media. We should also thank sharon for this disease called "kadima" that he and the media created.
21. Thank GOD this woman isn't the PM !!!!!!!!
Joan ,   NY,USA   (10.12.09)
Talk about sycophants. Uterly disgusting.
22. #16
Eyal ,   USA   (10.12.09)
Unfortunately it is you that doesn't see the obvious thing. Their is no occupation, specially not Jerusalem, cause it belongs to the chosen people of G-D. It is sad you see it this way, but us Jews have been around for a while in Israel (look it up in the Bible). What you are saying is completely the opposite from the truth. I ask that you just read a bit and maybe you will discover the truth. I am not worried though, Israel will prevail like they always have. Iran will get their proxies Hezbollah and Syria to attack Israel with a biological weapon (which they will), than Israel will strike back with an atomic bomb, which will wipe out Damascus and anything below the Litany River, as well as Gaza. All the Arabs will be deported to other countries and Iran will be heavily damaged and it will be the end of Iran's regime. The End
23. #20 - Don't forget Barak [end]
Eyal ,   USA   (10.12.09)

26. LIVNI IS MENTALLY ILL
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   Safed Israel   (10.12.09)
I can not stand this hateful woman,she is a shameless sore loser and opportunist who stabs her Prime Minister Netanyahu in the back every day.Livni is so dumb she even outdoes the stereotype of a dumb blonde.Thank G-d she is not Prime Minister,she best stay home and bake cookies but I doubt she even knows how.
27. LIVNI GO CRAWL BACK UNDER YOUR
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   Safed Israel   (10.12.09)
Rock.How DARE you undermine your own country.?
28. The EU cancelled the upgrade when livni was in power
Jason ,   haifa israel   (10.12.09)
EU cancelled the upgrade in relations because of the gaza war when livni was in power. Qatar cancelled trade office. We had costa rica move jerusalem embassy. We had mali kick out israel's embassy. Livni does the damage then plays politics which is pathetic.
29. Turkey stopped excercise because of gaza war when Livni FM
Dan ,   ashkelon israel   (10.12.09)
What hypocricy Turkey cancelled the military excercise because of the gaza war and olmert negotiating with turkey pm with syria and then the gaza war happened. For livni to use problems that happened when she was in power against bibi is an an outrage. EU also cancelled the upgrade in december because of the gaza war. Livni was silent when that happened but when bibi came to power used it to blame him.
30. I WANT THE WORLD TO LOVE ME
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   Safed Israel   (10.12.09)
I SO WANT TO BE LOVED.Livni is one sad sicko.
