1. Shelly Yachimovich is right on this
Aryeh ,   Bat Ayin   (07.02.12)
Mofaz won't quit no matter how humiliated he gets because if he leaves the coalition Kadima ceases to exist
2. No need to threaten. JUST GO & take Barak along.
Chaim   (07.02.12)
3. Meanwhile Iran is laughing
(07.02.12)
Meanwhile Iran is laughing at the internal Israeli squabbles and proceeding full speed ahead with the bomb.
4. Good! Let's go on. There is more important news!
Israeli 2   (07.02.12)
5. Baldie was scorned by pals so he compensates on Netanyahu

6. Promises, promises, promises...
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.02.12)
7. No Split !
Adam Neira ,   Paris, France   (07.02.12)
Netanyahu continued, "I am obligated to find a way to more equally distribute the service burden. Even before the High Court ruling I declared that I would work to increase equality in the burden in a defined manner within the haredi and Arab sectors, without pitting public against public. That was and remains my stance," Netanyahu stated. Bibi is correct ! Kadima should not leave the coalition. Unity is required at this critical point in Israeli history. A viable plan exists to heal the rifts on the national service front. But strong, visionary leadership is required. People will have to fall in behind the leader. Again...democracy ensures everyone is equal, so no one can give orders or criticize. A decent command structure breaks down.
8. Stop talking nonsense anf get to work
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (07.02.12)
Get this universal draft into effect and stop stalling. And second: finally agree on attacking Iran before it develops the nuclear bomb. If Iran manages to do that there is nothing that Mofaz and Netanyahu can argue about to begin with. How much stupidity, high treason, political inertia, corruption, double standards and inability to act must the Israeli people tolerate - and for how long? Eli Yishai and Shas should be placed in prison. Never has Judaism claimed that religious Jews can't practice the use of force/military service, and using their distorted view of Judaism in order to exempt Haredim from sharing the burden is nothing but high treason, immorality, a distortion of Zionism, Jewish nationalism and Judaism.
9. Hilarious
Michael ,   Haifa   (07.02.12)
Israeli politics are pure slapstick comedy and the politicians are accomplished clowns.
10. get rid of mofaz and the weaklings of kadiam
alexi   (07.02.12)
bibi, you goofed on bringing the rotten kadimites but it seems you did it to buffer shas and liberman. Yet you had a stable coalition so what do you need mofaz for who is not noted for anything??!! Stop with your giving in. Shas has to do some idf duty no exemption,e no9ugh with torah study. Stop acting like a weakling.
11. the honey moon is over! back to reality!
(07.02.12)
12. A Torah learning charadi Jew should be PROUD to serve in the
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (07.02.12)
IDF, if and only if they can serve without the stupid garbage such as women singing meant to demean them. "Do not put a stone before a blind man" is equal to "Do not put religious people in an army that intends to break their beliefs for no good reason."
13. Keep up the good work dudes!
R Narz ,   Toronto   (07.02.12)
Now that the Canadian Parliament has recessed for the summer, I am seriously lacking in my supply of comedy. Rather than go into withdrawal symptoms, I'll just watch all of this. I mean, if I got like toooo serious you know, it might harm my complexion LOL.
14. # 9 Michael, well said
Sagi   (07.02.12)
Buster and Charlie could be relegated to circus clowns if compared to our political geniuses.
15. Bunnie
Raptor   (07.02.12)
Oh that you should have been a bunny at Hugh's palace playground,your attitude might have been healthier.
16. Mofaz & Barak
Bibi get rid of ,   these destroyers   (07.02.12)
Both out to destroy. Barak anxious to destroy Jewish homes and Mofaz anxious to destroy orthodox Judaism.
17. Mofaz Legacy
Zivron   (07.03.12)
The Mofaz legacy ought be narrowing the income gaps by ordering the moguls to restrain their greed and help netanyahu with the Price Tag agents provocateurs .On the edges the haredim ought do more but their demographic growth is the miracle of redemption and restitution after the shoah.
18. Let Mofaz take his whiny loser ways elsewhere.
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.03.12)
Let Mofaz quit. Virtually nobody wanted either Mofaz or Barak in the coalition in the first place. Let him take him whiny loser ways elsewhere.
19. Mofaz' threat to convert to Muslim faith would be more real.
Miron ,   USA   (07.03.12)
20. Mofaz threatens to leave unity government
Floriane ,   Israel   (07.03.12)
Hé is right! Army should be for everyone. Bibi should work with him instead of opposing. This Country needs UNITY
