1. We, Jews, within and without Israel, stand behind Livni
Eitan ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (12.15.09)
Charging Ms. Livni amounts to charging all of us, Jews, 99.6% of whom have and continue to insist that while Israel is eager to achieve an accommodation of peaceful coexistence with its Arab neighbors, it will also stand firm in the face of any attempt to undermine its sovereignty and the well being of its citizens. Tzipi Livni would stand firm behind these words and so would we! Never again!
2. anyone can issue any stupid thing thru a British Court
kate b ,   uk   (12.15.09)
Look at all the people who claim for 'hurt feelings'. Why don't these idiots go for civilian murders like maashal, the Hamas leader or wannabe genociders such as Ahmadinejad? It's pure antisemitism, that's why.
3. Dont worry Livni...
Marco ,   Spain   (12.15.09)
there are many men that would like to share your cell. Some of whom have been imprisoned for so long that they have forgotten what a woman looks like. Have fun!
4. To Eitan, Livni wants to give up Israel's power to EU
jason ,   haifa israel   (12.15.09)
Israel was behind UN resolution 1701. Livni wants to give the UN the security power. She wanted UN to be in gaza and able to restrict Israel. Livni gave up the philadelphia corridor that separates gaza and egypt which has allowed iran to bring in weapons to Hamas. Livni and Olmert wouldn't even allow the IDF to fire at rocket lauchers in the act for a time in 2007 when they were tryiing to please the international community. Rockets were being fired at sderot with an order not to fire at the rocket launchers. I fear that the israeli public will once again vote in kadima. I hope this story goes away because the the sympathy Livni gets can have disastrous effects on Israel. Livni and Olmert wanted Saudi Arabia to be one of five arab states to control jerusalem. Their policies are crazy.
5. idf and terrorists

6. oh dear, oh dear, oh dear
Marina ,   Tel Aviv   (12.15.09)
The UK, the safe haven for every official terrorist in the world...with the most feudal judicial system which will respond to any "ethnically coloured" lunatic's whim...so long as it's anti-israel and antisemitic, which in the "PC" eyes of UK deluded electorate would render it "just" - what a stupid country UK has become.
7. The world is judging Livni’s Hypocrisy
Shalom   (12.15.09)
"EVEN TALKING ABOUT sharing any territory belonging to Israel is dangerous," Livni admitted last year. "WE LIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD IN WHICH SOMETIMES DIALOGUE – in a situation where you have brought sanctions, and you then shift to dialogue – IS LIABLE TO BE INTERPRETED AS WEAKNESS," she explained. What a hypocrite! Why is she insisting on talking to the Arabs and giving them Holy Jewish Land?
8. The world is judging Israel
Shalom   (12.15.09)
for its stupidity when Israel is supposed to be a Light Unto Nations. The world perceives Israel as cowardly and run by spineless leaders that gives the US President, Hussein Obama, and the European country the boldness to command what Israel should or should not do in her own country. It's all Israel's fault as the Lubavitcher Rebbe said. Just talking about giving away territory of ANY part of its country is dangerous for its existence. Oh, how right he was! If Israel were to destroy its enemies like other countries instead of caving in to the demands of those that want to see Israel off the map, the nations would respect them and anti-Semitism would be subdued. As long as Israel is ruled by cowardly feckless weaklings, foreign countries have the power to dictate their policies.
9. Tzipi Livni would stand firm behind these words and so would
Jerry   (12.15.09)

10. she would repeat any decision made during Israeli operation
RJBH ,   Methil   (12.15.09)
two Wongs Dont make a Right.. Livini But.. We will try you for the first of them.. Double or Quits after the verdict.
11. I've said it before
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.15.09)
There is an extremely easy fix. Issue all Israeli government members -- past and present -- diplomatic passports. Woe betide the country that would arrest them. And if Israel were to return the favor -- our prison cells would be overflowing. We could start with the British and the indiscriminate bombing in Kosovo which resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands. We could move on from there to Afghanistan, where the British also murdered tens of thousands of innocent civilians through indiscriminate bombings. Lots more examples; lots more countries. Bring those arrest warrents on. We'll see what happens.
12. To nr 7
Mike Van Harris ,   Antwerp Belgium   (12.15.09)
This is not your land, you stool that land .
13. She well deserves the fright(only the fright)
Keren ,   IL-BR   (12.15.09)
This is for her to learn up to what point she should kiss foreign enemies,as she was doing when Minister of Foreign Affairs. She was willing to give them “even the pants”-as is a brasilian say.
14. To: No. 12
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.15.09)
Not quite. The Jews have been cleaning up the stool. Mighty fine fertilizer, I must say. Perhaps that is why Israel has managed to turn a stagnant desert into a garden. Stool, indeed.
15. # 1I can't believe there is any Jew in Israel who doesn't
Ruti ,   Kibbutz Dalia   (12.15.09)
stand behind Livni today, including her most bitter political opponents, or as Mr. Silvan Shalom stated today in Beer Sheva, "we are all Tzipi Livni!"
16. May I add something to #13:
Keren ,   IL-BR   (12.15.09)
G-d forbid even Livni's fright and may G-d protect Livni and all of us.
17. 4 Livni, headless burned babies we saw on tvs r terrorists!
JR ,   LA   (12.15.09)
18. #12 Sarah
Keren ,   IL-BR   (12.15.09)
Mike Van Harris and his types have never left their towns,if their neiborhoods,and ,unfortunately,they are the result of their societies’ religious and social mistakes, who do not teach them how not to live either in material and spiritual poverty. Now,we see the result of these unfortunate masses seeking for a kind of vengeance ,thinking that that will redime their miserable beings this way. Poor of them. They don’t know where to seek for cure and keep debating desesperatly themselves in their own darkness.
19. tzipi you dont know how much you right
mor ,   ashqelon   (12.15.09)
the british saw and criticize only israeli side and to it they call justice?? its embarrassment!!
20. is Livni religious?
observer   (12.15.09)
According to the Jewish religion, the murder of a Jew is a capital offense and one of the three most heinous sins (the other two being idolatry and adultery). Jewish religious courts and secular authorities are commanded to punish, even beyond the limits of the ordinary administration of justice, anyone guilty of murdering a Jew. A Jew who indirectly causes the death of another Jew is, however, only guilty of what talmudic law calls a sin against the 'laws of Heaven', to be punished by God rather than by man.
21. All wars that Israel has waged have been just, forced ...
Ron B. ,   Lod   (12.15.09)
All wars that Israel has waged have been just, forced upon it by the Arab leaders. War involves life-and-death situations; mistakes are made and innocents inevitably die. But in maintaining our moral standards, we should never forget that the IDF is an army of the people and we are also obliged to ensure that we do not go to the other extreme and endanger the lives of our soldiers by preventing them from defending themselves. As to the blood libels against Israel and the IDF : http://xrl.us/be8dzf
22. Abbas is a terrorist in a suit
Leah ,   Israel   (12.15.09)
Yet no arrest warrent for him even though he planned the Munich Olympic Massacre and is a Holocaust denyer
23. Arrest her for the sake of Democracy and Human Rights!
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (12.15.09)
24. To: Keren at No. 18
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.15.09)
Um mentiroso fala somente mentiras e nao tem experiencia ou conhecimento da verdade. Ele (Mike van Harris) e um perfeito exemplo. For the Portuguese challenged: A liar has only lies, and no experience or knowledge of the truth. He (Mike van Harris) is a perfect example.
25. To: No. 23
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.15.09)
In that case, Erdogan would do well to stay home. He's amassed quite a few dead innocent Kurds, now, hasn't he? Well documented throughout the world. Truly a war criminal. And you, sir, would do well to keep your counsel. Or do you particularly enjoy putting your ignorance on public display? I must say, you never fail to seize an opportunity to show us all just how mediocre you are.
26. Kol Hakavod Sarah!
Keren ,   IL-BR   (12.16.09)
What a beautiful and perfect portuguese! But more important yet is the content and you are right! He is "um bobo","um bobão"! (A fool,a big fool!)
