1. Yosef Burg is turning over in his grave
Avramele   (10.18.12)
The party that was once the moderate moral conscience of the state has now been taken over by whacko rabbis and Kahanists. So sad, so tragic. Angels are shedding tears in heaven today.
2. Still too far from dislodging Haredi Rabbinate
Dati Leumi Jew ,   Israel   (10.18.12)
When you HAVE DONE that, so that we are no longer ruled by medieval fanatics, THEN you'll get my vote. Til then, I'll vote Yisrael Beiteinu and wait for you to get that done.
3. #2, Dati Leumi must still be dati
Ephraim ,   Tapuah   (10.18.12)
If you consider Torah to be medieval and obsolete, than perhaps you should call yourself "masorti leumi" or even "hiloni leumi"
4. The whole world
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (10.18.12)
will laugh on Israel if Zoabi and the other arab criminals will be Knesset members again.
5. Thanks but this jewish soul dosent want restoring
David ,   Haifa, Israel   (10.18.12)
would just like to be free from other peoples religious beliefs and stop forcing it on others, we have a choice and it will stay that way.
6. #1: Your name don't fit your mentality.
Israeli 2   (10.18.12)
What is wrong with Kahanists, the only true backbone of Israel? Every true Israel loving soul has Rabbi Meir Kahane living inside of him. That, Avramale is a fact in simple logic.
7. they should talk to Moshe Feiglin
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (10.18.12)
If they could convince him to come out from Likud and join them it would be a triple benefit. Religious Zionists would attract many new voters, Feiglin would have more clout and we Israelis would have a better deal with the government. Its a win-win-win situation.
8. Smart move
zionist forever   (10.18.12)
The bigger your party the better your chances of winning seats and the more seats an individual party has the more muscle it has in the Knesset and in any coalition they might be invited into. The country needs to get rid of all the single issue parties and instead lets have just Kadima, Likud & Labor whose MKs would all be directly elected through regions and the party with the most seats runs the country alone for a fixed term. No more coalitions, elections don't take place every 2.5 years when the infighting begins and the coalition breaks down instead we would have stable government that can pass real legislation rather than worrying about coalition partners walking out & forcing an election everytime you want to push legislation they don't like. Right now we have a dysfunctional system that splits the vote to many ways and doesn't work.
9. #3 dati does NOT imply Haredi!
Dati Leumi Jew ,   Israel   (10.18.12)
10. I knew Yosef Burg z"l and kahane Yimach shmo
Avramele   (10.18.12)
Burg had the soul of a zionist who loveD his people and hashem; kahane was a neo-fascist lunatic thug with a distorted understanding of both Judaism and our history. If this new party Includes his hassidim yet claims to be the heir to Mizrachi Zionism they are not only fools but thieves of a great legacy. Nuff said.
11. These fanatics make this former Bnei Akiva Rosh Sviva sick!
Dovid   (10.18.12)
Not only Yosef Burg and the founders of the National Religious Party, but every Religious Zionist with a conscience should be sickened by what these racist lunatics have done to what used to be a wonderful political and social movement.
12. #3 - Haredi being Medieval does not imply Torah is Medieval
The Logician ,   Israel   (10.18.12)
Torah was around long before these Medieval cretan Haredim -- and did much better then. Take some smartening pills.
13. # 10 You are wrong
Jules   (10.18.12)
Kahane was a realist. All his predictions have turned truth.
14. Someone has to counter Shas
A ,   Belgium   (10.18.12)
these might be the guys to do it. From a non-religious, zionist pot-head Jew, who loves Israel.
