31. Mrs. Livni, you YOURSELF could be such a leader! You have...
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (01.05.12)
the strength, brains, sincerity and heart. All you need to do is go from Kadima to KADIMAH, realistically connecting the future with the past. All you need to do is connect your (and teams of other talented people available) legal mind with HISTORICAL REALITY AND TRUTH and have the guts to diplomatically explain to the WORLD, that a SECURE BIG ISRAEL is not only FAIR and JUST based on historical&geographical grounds, but also the only option that can save Islam from Islamism and will bring balance and ultimately peace to the ME. This could be achieved via HONEST COMMUNICATION. Solutions for practical matters can always be found. Have you once e.g. spoken face to face with the king of Saudi Arabia? If so, what did you tell him? Could you get through to his heart and soul and make him feel the truth that we, as family LONG to have Ishmael as a loving neighbour, yet cannot have him live in OUR HOUSE as well, whilst the Arabs/Muslims have whole streets so to speak. There is still time to achieve balance and peace via mutual respectful communication, but without DIRECT SELFRESPECT everything remains fuzzy. Between you and mr. Sharon (G-d bless him), better in a tank on any given day, you mrs. Livni were actually given the personal tools to go for a SECURE BIG ISRAEL, as a realistic answer to achieve balance in the ME (instead of political game playing), yet you sadly seem to lack the emunah. I love you sister :) That's why it hurts to see you stuck. I wish you KADIMAH, G-d bless you. Under the present ME/geo-political pressing circumstances, what would Arik go for, Kadima or KADIMAH? Say no more, SHALOM.
32. tzipi
miky ,   frankfurt germany   (01.05.12)
its a grave shame, a irresponsibility what zippi livni made of sharons party. livni betraid sharons work and made a leftradical-post-jewish party from kadima. there are great women in politics, livni is a disgrace, a kind of amira hass of the politics. time to go home mrs livni.
33. Lov'em or hate'em... the guy had balls!
JLV ,   LA, USA   (01.05.12)
34. 100% correct.
Dov Glass ,   TA IL   (01.05.12)
35. Livni is at the pinnacle of her political career ...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (01.05.12)
Opposition leader, which she's not doing too well at.
36. Livini
Av   (01.05.12)
She is a women. We don't like women ruling over Men. It's a Mans Job. Fact and True.
37. we admire you Tzipi Livni
J.Gad ,   Israel   (01.05.12)
thanks for sharing your thoughts about Sharon. Good luck and blessings for you and dont give up. shalom
38. If Tzipi was any more full of it.......
Wise Saba ,   Ma'agalim   (01.05.12)
you would see the brown in her eyes.
39. Livni should change name to chutzpah
Menachem ,   Israel   (01.05.12)
Livni is the archetype for a selfish and spineless "leader" who only cares about personal advancement/power and staying "friends" with influential anti-Zionists in Europe and elsewhere.
40. I miss King David
Paul ,   Jerusalem   (01.05.12)
Perhaps the only ruler that didn't sell out the Jews.
41. Probably nobody will miss Mrs Livni.....
who cares   (01.05.12)
42. Of course she does
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (01.05.12)
Zippy remembers that Edna Arbel said that Sharon and his sons were rotten to the core. She also remembers how Sharon took nobody Zippy and made her a minister in exchange for betraying Likud voters. Who doesn't miss their sugar daddy?
43. Whom knows what is best for Israel ?.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (01.05.12)
leadership that always sees before it the future of Israel and the Jewish people rather than some public opinion poll. It took Sharon years to win the love of the people, and he won it precisely because he acted based on his beliefs and not in line with the public’s random mood. Comment - Then act according to the Word of HASHEM !!!. Arn.Sweden.
44. missing arik
alexi   (01.05.12)
arik was a good general for sure. He could move fast. Two of his biggest misjudgements were relying on olmert and livni, one a gutless coward and alleged crook, and the other, an incredibly stupid and ignorant foreign miinister livni. That is why she longs for hm. She needs someone to advise her other than her advertising husband whose messaging is phony. Real peace has to have livni's eyes open to arab reality and not sitting across the table from ereckat sitting on a pack of lies.
45. Is this title a Joke?
Nigel ,   London   (01.05.12)
46. sharon took bribes
Shushan ,   Brussels Belgium   (01.05.12)
sharon and sons took bribes from america to make aza and sinai Judenfrei. Let him die in peace
47. Arik
daze ,   US   (01.05.12)
Arik was a hero, but was also corrupt. The leftists had him by the shorts, he danced to their tune, or it was off to jail and disgrace. This explains why he did what he did. Quote from a Rabbi upon his descent into a coma-"Not even the earth wants him"
48. alexi #44 not so fast
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (01.05.12)
Sharon was a LOUSY general. I know because I served under his command in '73. We won inspite of Sharon - not because of him. He made the same errors in judgement as a general as he did as DM and PM. A total idiot.
49. sharon was the last of the PUBLIC servants
zionist forever   (01.05.12)
Apart from Peres was probably the last of a generation of politicians who did what they did because they believed it was in the best interest of the country not their career. Doesn't matter if their policies were right or wrong fact is they were idealists with the countries good at heart. Livni who claims to miss Sharon so much she is probably one of the biggest opportunists in politics today. For her its all ego and career which is why she rejected offer after offer from Bibi to join his coalition, he got the top job and she has been bitter about it ever since. Bibi & Barak's generation are all career politicians and they will sacrifice whats in the best interest of the state if it will save their asses.
50. Pitty that nobody will miss you, Mrs Livni.......
who cares   (01.05.12)
This is your main concern : your ego. Do Israel a favour and leave politics for good !
51. Oh Yea stupid woman
Shlomo ,   Kansas USA   (01.06.12)
Arik Shoron whilst having a brilliant and illustrious carrer as a soldier should have stayed there. His political career subsequent decisions were are and will be a disaster for years to come. He and he alone is responsible Hamastan in Gaza. Something rthat thousands of your citizens who you claim to care about suffer from daily. Power went to his and his families head. Let just mention Omri Sharon and leave it there. You know why he is not dead yet. He comitted the gravest of sins, giving back Jewish land. As it is written "and the land shall vomit you out" neither the ground wants him nor do they want him in the world to come. You stupid woman let go of the past and see how your voters base is shrinking and get in touch with reality
52. gee # 48
alexi   (01.06.12)
was it not sharon 's idea to cross the canal while bar lev was static behind canal forts? Was it not sharon who urged idf to clean out west bank terror when barak had done next to nothing while PM other than a few missile shots? And what rank were you?
53. Tzipy
MB ,   ramat hasharon   (01.06.12)
What about Gush Katif. What about the Bufor in Lebanon. What about the tens that died bcaouse his use of 6 years dialyse & single room
54. Arik Sharon
Nils von der Heyde ,   Germany   (01.06.12)
I miss him too. Have been his guest for an interview that lastet more than three hours at his Sycamore ranch. He was a rare straight person. When I asked him finally how to come to terms with the written interview he smiled and said: "Very simply - you have your tape I have one too. Be careful not to print nonsens".

56. Tzipi and Sharon
Harold ,   USA   (01.06.12)
Sharon is there breathing but cannot vote for Tzipi.
57. alexi #52
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (01.06.12)
Sharon was one among many, in fact he was one of the last. He was also the one that refused infantry support so we suffered far more casualties and took far longer than it should have to cross. As a general he was a butcher of his one troops. As for cleaning out Judea and Samaria - half hearted measures. What about the illegal ethnic cleansing of Gaza?
58. alexi #52 cont
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (01.06.12)
I retired as a Lt. Col.
59. #57/58 Gee
alexi   (01.07.12)
You were there, I was not. Its not the first time that he was messy in operations and got men killed but bar lev did not want to cross the canal. And the crossing led to the encircling of the I believe 3rd army, which led egypt to sue for no fire. As for removing jews from gaza and holding at least the corridor, it was olmert and mitzna who talked sharon into unilateral withdrawal and the 8000 missile fire was predictable. Since sharon was in the midst of legal trouble, olmert's advice was taken to try to gain favour with the politics of the courts. Olmert is the most gutless person israel has ever had. As bad as you imply sharon was, you think ehud barak is better. You know of barak. He talks big but runs from lebanon, chinese farm, training accident, and equips naval commando with paintball guns???!! You know barak I am certain of it. What is the story on him as he runs to offer concessions.
60. Ariel in Prophecy?
Peter Doyle ,   Australia   (01.07.12)
Ariel Sharon Hero of Modern Israel On January 4th 2006 Ariel Sharon had a stroke and fell in to a coma. He remains in a coma to this day 6 years on. A man, born in Israel in 1928 who has been involved in every major event connected to Modern Israel. Eventually becoming the Prime Minister in 2001. Like other great men of Ancient Israel; pride finally got the better of him. After a lifetime of fighting for the land of his forefathers; Ariel Sharon under pressure from various Nations and from his own Son gave areas of the Promised Land to Islam in late 2005. The Bible has many accounts that repeat themselves through history and are there for our instruction and warning. The king of Babylon Nebuchadnezzar had his power taken away by God (YHWH) for 7 years. He was 'as a beast of the field' for that period (He went mad). After the 7 years had ended; Nebuchadnezzar was allowed to regain his power and gave glory to the True God; YHWH. Did God take power away from Ariel Sharon? Will God awaken Ariel Sharon on January 4th 2013? Will Ariel Sharon give glory to the True God? Will Ariel talk of the Messiah? Will some seek to kill Ariel after his return? Isaiah 29: Woe to you, Ariel, Ariel,................... I will besiege Ariel....... I will encamp against you.................. The LORD has brought over you a deep sleep:......... He has sealed your eyes............ Peter Doyle.
