... and guide them to the appropriate decisions in this time of such turbulence among our neighbors. I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers.

Pleeeeaaase,,,,,,,,,, this is not my post nor my sentiments.

We waited 2000 years for a state and each time we have a new Knesset I am in awe and thanks for the wonder of our fantastic country where JEWS can be free. Never take this for granted ! Most of the world would be happy to see us gone. Rejoyce in the fact we have our own "home" where ever we live at the moment. Without ISRAEL we would all be suffering somewhere in the diaspora. AM YISRAEL CHAI !!!!!!!!

i was spending half hour trying to get a plugin to work to watch the knesset channel. i had no idea you guys put up a live feed easy and beautiful! next time let your readers now in advance!! thank you soo much!! i hope to see more live presentations! theyre really exciting!

Did I just see MK Zoabi left the Knesset before signing HaTikva? I cannot believe Supreme Court allowed that snake to stay MK...

INN reports that all 11 Arab members of the Knesset left the room when Hatikvah was played

Agreed. But the censure must come from the Knesset itself. And it should. Why should Zoabi -- or anyone else -- reap the benefits of being a member of Knesset if they cannot even stand in respect for the playing of the national anthem of the country whose laws they are sworn to uphold?

Look at the happiness between Netanyahu and Lapid! If Lapid,the pop star without real agenda,hadn´t entered the race,It would be much,much more difficult for Netanyahu to form his "giving in Israel to arabs´s coalision". Now,"Bibi" is in love with Livni and will insist for Shelly to be part of the SHOW ,and then, BINGO!-More land to arabs and more concessions! This Knesset is a circus;worse,is a CUP! Keep AWARE Israel,VERY AWARE for what´s comming next!

When will he ever reform an old institution in Israeli politics called Shimon Peres? Because we really don't want you to be neither the President nor hold any other prominent or key position in Israeli politics. We want you to retire. If you want reforms Shimek, start by retiring yourself. Soon you'll be 90 years old. Time to retire from politics.

the question is why did YNETnews see fit to ignore this provocation? Would they have ignored it if UTJ had done the same?

If Lapid,the pop star without real agenda,hadn´t entered the race,It would be much,much more difficult for Netanyahu to form his "coalision of delivering Israel to arabs ".
