1. Yes he can& should! If politicians can't make right decision
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.22.12)
then we, "the people" must do so!
2. Seeing how fast this got posted it must be because of my mis
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.22.12)
take: "should"/must" was meant to adress his right to REFUSE such orders! He should be able to do so and he must do so if his heart tells him so.... He then will have to face the consequences. It's the "consequences" that should be put under a microscope. If enough people admit to this sentiment the politicians will bend, they always do.
3. Whose command do you follow
Noel Nesor ,   Israel   (12.22.12)
The Army fulfills the policy of the government in a democracy. In a theocracy the 'Rabbi' rules. You can't have both. And that is the dillema of the religious right in Israel. Take your pick. The muslims have chosen a global caliphate as their goal - in other words a non-democratic form of rule.
4. he has my vote
yoni ,   jewish homeland   (12.22.12)

DA URBAN POET ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (12.22.12)
Anyone who tries to make me act against my fellow jews .evict them from their homes will quickly find my fist in his face.
6. Bennett is absolutely correct & deserves patriotic votes.
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.22.12)
Any order to drive Jews from their homes is a monstrously evil and illegal order. It is a complete perversion of everything the I.D.F. and Israel stands for. Bennett is absolutely correct is refusing such orders and he deserves the vehement support of patriotic Jews.

12. why vote for Bennett
israel israeli   (12.22.12)
The hypocritcal condemnation, from Right and Left, are a new low for Israeli politicians. Bennett spoke about refusing orders to ethnically cleanse Jews from their homes. Such orders are not combat orders, and the High Court has affirmed a soldier's right to refuse them. Bennett's opinion is nothing compared to Yiftah Spector who not only really refused combat orders, but incited other IDF officers to refuse combat orders, a capital crime. Yet all the politicians who now condemn Bennett were silent when Ehud Barak gave Spector a medal just three years ago during Netanyahu's rule.

Miron ,   USA   (12.22.12)
It's time to get busy with real issues.
16. Bennett has my vote
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (12.23.12)
I do not want any more expulsions. This was the worst mistake any government made. Did not bring peace rather brought volleys of rockets. I don't want that anymore. Sharon was worse than Rabin in this matter.
