1. his heart in the right place but weak
marcel   (01.29.12)
bibi is 100x better than livni but while he understands geography and military matters, he is fearful in his decison making as regards US response. Most of likud do not want barak dismantling settlements yet he is governed by fear and then flip flops in search of a compromise. Understand loud and clear-oslo, concesisons, pers, barak and olmert stances do not work and invite war. israel has had enough submissiveness and wear and tear of withdrawals. yet bibi hangs onto barak who his own labour calls pathetic, who is wrong about assad leaving in weeks, and is wrong about almost ev ery matter he touches. To be PM in Israel, you have to know the military and be able to lead the people who must trust you. Bibi willl lose to feiglin, I have no doubt about it. Remember Begin in 77. The public said oh my god, not begin. get ready for another welcome shock that will get rid of bibi, barak and livni.
2. #1 what shock?
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (01.29.12)
Feiglin may be (or may be not) a nice guy and great ideologist, but he does not know how to run a government. Netanyahu's trick neutralized any Zionist Likud leader like Shalom from running against him, so Netanyahu will be elected Likud head, whether Feiglin gets 10% or 35%. After victory, Netanyahu will do his best to make the Likud lose as many votes as possible (ethnically cleansing Migron, appointing Israel's greatest failure Ehud Barak to be a Likud member) because he wants Likud to be a junior member of the next coalition. Israel's only hope is that after he is elected head of Likud, Netanyahu decides to retire, emigrates somewhere and leaves the Likud leadership to someone better.
3. Outposts
David ,   Minneapolis, USA   (01.29.12)
Israel already has several major population centers in Judea and Samaria, it should concentrate on strengthening those rather than supporting untenable outposts, which take away precious resources from other more important activities.
4. This should tell you everything you need to know about Bibi
Bye Bye Bibi ,   Israel   (01.29.12)
He could legalize them himself in one minute but he prefers to play games and set this for after Tuesdays election. Voters must teach him a lesson now. THIS LAND BELONGS TO US. We will NOT VOTE for people who don't support the Likud agenda. We need a leader who is 100% commited to this goal.
5. Why do u steal our land?
Samy ,   Jerusalem, Palestine   (01.29.12)
put the politics aside, is it right for settlers to steal someone's else land using force and aggression? how would u feel if u were a palestinian? For people who were persecuted for centuries, how come u do the same to another nation? does being a jew give u a divine right to humiliate and persecute others? are palestinians less worthy than jews?
6. #5 We're not stealing anything
David ,   Shiloh Israel   (01.29.12)
Samy, you use the Israeli name for Jerusalem, and place it under Palestine. You tell me who's stealing from who? As a Jewish settler who gets demonized from just about the whole world, it might come as a surprise for you to hear that contrary to public opinion, I actually do care about the welfare of many local Arabs. Many find work around our settlements, share the same road conditions, and yes, also share the same desire for peaceful co-existence! So who are you addressing your question to? Much of the world care less about truth, than political correctness. Your complaint is 100% more politically correct than any truth about who lived here first, and who our land actually belongs to, but I guess that your question is not really aimed at truth seekers? So the land where we live is built upon a barren rock, I'm sure many ants & charming rock badgers had to find a new habitation, but certainly no ficticous human beings. There are many Jewish settlers capable of peaceful co-existence with Arabs seeking the same. Only, spreading false accusations and seeking provocative attacks against my people is not going to achive that goal. Salem!
7. PM & settlers de-legitimize Israeli Supreme Court!
(01.29.12)
y not just declare that we are a klepto-dictatorship? (stealing from others and belly aching about our rights just doesn't cut it anymore...no one is fooled)
8. Jews drunk with power, hanging themselves, again
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.29.12)
9. To #5, Sammy ... STEALING??!!
Aviela Deitch ,   MIGRON, ISRAEL   (01.29.12)
You know not of what you speak. The plaintiffs have not been able to prove to the court that they have any ownership. On top of that, of all of Migron, the only land that is contested is a portion on which 11 caravans sit. This a political game, not a criminal one. For seven years, Migron was being built up and nobody said boo. The plaintiffs could see Migron growing before their eyes and nobody said anything until Peace Now dug up their Arabs. Know the facts, not just the propaganda.
10. All Outposts should be bulldozed-NOW!
s B   (01.29.12)
11. PM appoints judge to examine outpost legalization??
Son of Yaffa ,   Palestine   (01.29.12)
your whole country is illegal and stolen
12. #9 yes since u live in Migron West Bank u r a thief....
Israela ,   Israel   (01.29.12)
and yes you are stealing! So do stand down and be ashamed of what you believe as facts when in fact it is all propaganda.
13. G-d gave it to the Jews 3000 years ago, no matter who lived
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (01.29.12)
there when, Romans, Greeks, arabs, or donkeys, the deed to the land is still in the name of the JEWS.
14. No, I'm not a thief
Aviela Deitch ,   MIGRON, ISRAEL   (01.29.12)
And I'm proud enough and right enough to use my real name.
15. #13
s B   (01.29.12)
Little Bunny Rabbit believes in the real-estate god-oh diddums.
16. @14 & what makes u think Israela isn't my real name?
Israela ,   Israel   (01.29.12)
or is this about the standard right wing M.O. you know when you are incorrect then you go for a personal attack as a way to divert attention from the facts.
17. These outposts ARE legal !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (01.29.12)
They are buildt on the land of Israel !
18. #11 Please say that louder to Tel Aviv
David ,   Shiloh Israel   (01.30.12)
There are idiots in our country who don't quite get it. All Jews in Israel are settlers, isn't that what son of Jaffa (what a name, did you get it from a DC comic book?), is trying to tell us. Yes please say that louder! Sadly, there are Jews in the Diaspora who are settlers in the wrong place. Thanks #11!
19. How to steal land
Trev ,   Canada   (01.31.12)
In Canada when my settlers arrived the First Nations had the land and the settlers had the bible. The settlers said "close your eyes and pray with us". When the First Nation opened their eyes they had the bible and the settlers had the land. Isreal has the law and Palistine has the land...
