1. Culture versus Religion
Mike ,   Haifa   (06.29.12)
compel Arabs for army service, Haredim mostly for national service and some for Army. This was gradually the Ultra-Orthodox will merge into the society slowly shed their Eastern European shtetl garb and there will slowly be no need for Shas and UTJ in 20-30 years time. This will automatically make Israel more Jewish and less religious which translates into liberterian approach to seperation of religion and state because by then Judaism will have taken the form of the CULTURE of the people just like 2000 years ago.
2. Fire Mofaz
Joe Sombrero ,   USA   (06.29.12)
Mofaz is probably getting instructions from Obama and Clinton to force Lieberman out. Now when was he in Washington last a couple of weeks ago coincidence?
3. They should both go,Mofaz reminds me
Dyslexic.... ,   Israel....   (06.29.12)
of the Roman Brutus and Lieberman has no respect for the judiciary system.They are both opportunists who will do anything to keep there seats in The Knesset.To call them obnoxious is a understatement...........
4. NO 1 would cry 4 that, But pushing ishai OUT would B more
hot snow ,   tlv   (06.29.12)
CREATIVE. keep it UP Shaul!
5. Lieberman has a degree ...
Jules   (06.30.12)
... in political science and international relations from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
6. Keep Lieberman. He's good for Israel.
Reuven   (06.30.12)
But I disagree with Lieberman about drafting Arabs for the IDF. Do we really want to arm them? Most Israel;i Arabs are disloyal. For once I agree with Mofaz.
7. kadima and mofaz
mohson   (06.30.12)
kadima and mofaz like barak have almost no support by israelis and would have trouble getting reelected. Bibi who is a good salesman and whose heart is in the right place is uncertain and likes to surround himself with many people to help him make the decision. Leeiebrman is his own man, represents israel in a combative way that is worth 2 divisions cause arabs are scared of him and put some steel in bibi's bones. Yet bibi leans on barak whose latest is to withdraw from judea and mofaz who not only hired the incompetent halutz but terminated yaalon early,and endorsed a unilateral gaza pullout without securing philadelphi. Moreover during the lebanon debacle he sat on his ass while olmert screwed it up bigtime. Bibi has damaged himself and will face stiff competitiion next day. It is time for feiglin or lieberman. lapid is a journalist ass and is blind, bibi is same old, barak is done and finished and all gab and no one takes his threats seriously, and mofaz is one lousy general.
8. From this squabbling it is clear Netanyahu is a genius.
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.30.12)
If he can keep these guys in his government, Netanyahu is a magician. It will not hurt Israel if Mofaz prevailed over the bully, but it would be even better if the fire maker was kicked out of the coalition first. But Netanyahu wants them all within the government to have a chance for surviving the splintering once it starts in earnest, probably about six months before the next scheduled elections.
9. Lieberman resigned a year ago. Drop the sham Yahooisty.
Miron ,   USA   (06.30.12)
This elections were stolen from Israelis.
10. Leiberman moves to left of Mofaz with Arab IDF service
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (06.30.12)
11. since you opened the door you mofaz must be the 1 to go!
RALPH   (06.30.12)
12. mofaz is a leftist cancer, Lieberman has a spine.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (06.30.12)
13. Whatever.
Edgar ,   Tel-Aviv, Israel   (06.30.12)
Just dont expect any real leadership from that impotent prime minister of ours.
14. Fire Mofaz
jay abouaf ,   Jaffa, Israel   (06.30.12)
He was hot to throw Jews out of Gaza. He doesn't tell the truth. His greatest goal is his own ambition. Avigdor Lieberman is a great Foreign Minister, and is brave. Mofaz is a danger to Israel. Avigdor
15. Arabs should do national service
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (06.30.12)
not IDF, unless they volunteer & even then they should not be given a gun and there needs to be monitoring to make sure they are not passing intelligence to enemies. They would serve Israel & their communities much better by doing national service - cleaning up and patrolling their communities.
16. Mofaz main achievement : Was in Olmert Goverment during Leba
ab   (06.30.12)
non Disaster.So much for his "military credentials"
17. When Mofaz looks into the mirror he sees a PM-material:
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.30.12)
REALLY??!!!!!!!!
18. Mofaz the new-comer
Yoel ,   Israel   (06.30.12)
Mafaz- "get lost" you will never oust MK Leberman he is the right guy for any job he is straight foreword and knows how to get it across. No other minister is his equal
19. # 14 Jay I agree
Bad Ased Jew ,   United States   (06.30.12)
Lieberman is the best choice of the two, hands down. Ambition is blind... Mofaz 'vision' is impaired.
20. # 5 Jules..
Bad Ased Jew ,   United States   (06.30.12)
and even a bigger degree in balls!
21. Brilliant idea,liberman out,
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (07.01.12)
