1. But of course uprooting Arabs would be unacceptable...
Vlad   (05.20.13)
to the bleeeding hearts of the West. Bah, they're all beginning to emigrate anyway. From what I've read, educated Arabs are leaving in increasing numbers.
2. lapid will be gone before any settler
avg joe ,   Israel   (05.20.13)
Does he actually believe people will vote for him again? He's another Livni-here today gone tomorrow. He lied to all his constituents-they cannot be that stupid.
3. reply #1 Yes, but it makes problem worse
(05.20.13)
Educated Palestinians have been leaving for years --they have had little choice ---but who does that leave Israel to deal with?
4. Lapid is not a long term strategic thinker
Dror ,   Emeq Yizrael, Israel   (05.20.13)
Lapid means well, but he is afterall just another secular unbelieving europeanized Jew. Soon the world will experience such a devastating financial upheaval that will cause dramatic shifts of power causing worldwide revolutions. The Death of the Dollar as the World's reserve currency is fast approaching, Bernanke is leaving the Titanic before she sinks. Jews in Amerika are beginning to sense the danger. Many will leave. The "territories" THE ANCIENT HOMELAND OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE will be filled with Jews very very soon.
5. Lapid makes the right call
Cameron ,   USA   (05.20.13)
Hold Jerusalem in it's entirety, but the settlements were always untenable & inevitably doomed. There is a limit to just how far matters can be pushed.
6. ynet PLEASE don't post photos of such repulsive men
(05.20.13)
Many of my friends and I have been vomiting almost daily after seeing his photo and I'm sure most people in th world do so too. Please have some compassion and remove immediately.
7. Thousands of settlers will be uprooted
Vladimir ,   Yerushalayim   (05.20.13)
Congratulations to Benett and his rabbies. Who brought Lapid, this so called "centrist", to the government instead of Charedim? You! Now, very soon you'll reap the consequences...
8. Deploying his telegenic good looks?
JGad ,   Israel   (05.20.13)
Darling, you should read Mark J. Gasiorowski analyzing and asking: is there a systematic relationship between national economic crisis and political regime change? or maybe you should use your telegenetic abilities in an interview to the Bilderberg group, you should entitlte it "Lapid controlling the global economy from facebook", have a nice week Sir!
9. +972 Judaic style
Mike ,   Tel Aviv   (05.20.13)
there should be more blogs and online magazine out there to reflect our just claims to the land relentlessly and expose all the myths and lies. if there is anyone out there who wants to start a Zionist blog to oppose +972 let me know. type +972 in your subject heading.....
10. #2:You're wrong, they(constituents) are that stupid:that's
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.20.13)
why they voted for him in the first place.
11. These words should come from the PM !
Roland Seener ,   London England   (05.20.13)
He is assuming a portfolio which is not HIS .HIS is one of MEGALOMANIA ...Give him a FIDDLE and Israel will burn !
12. let them become part of Palestine
Haim ,   TA   (05.20.13)
They dont need to move anywhere, let them be part of Palestine and live under Palestinan rule.
13. I am better looking than this man
Dror ,   Emeq Yizrael, Israel   (05.20.13)
I named my son Yair because he is a constant source of light in my life, but Lapid is a source of deviceiveness and division very much like his father. Nobody likes the Charadi very much and they need to start working and going to the Army.. But the line is drawn when it comes to Jerusalem and the so called territories. Lapid provides lip service on the subject and that is the only thing he can do.
14. It is the Arabs who should be uprooted...
Stan Marsh ,   South Park/USA   (05.20.13)
and sent to Jordan. Israel needs more settlers not less.
15. 11
zionist foreverr   (05.20.13)
I agree Lapid is a maglomaniac they should come from the PM, Lapid seems to do every bodies job these days. Bibi, Liberman, education and of course his own, the man worships himself. Lapid though has said on the record he intends to be PM within 16 months so maybe he is trying to practise.
16. LAPID = BOLSHEVIK . It's Lapid who will be UPROOTED
(05.20.13)
17. Unchecked megalomania
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.20.13)
Lapid's portfolio is the Finance Ministry. He should restrict himself to that subject. I'd be interested to hear him explain why he has reversed so many of the initial budget cuts in his proposal. Thus far, he hasn't kept to a single campaign promise, just keeps making empty threats and even emptier promises. He's over his head, and he knows it. The Israeli electorate is catching on as well. Lapid is just another talking head, and the more he talks, the less inclined people are to listen. The aging hippie tee shirt look is getting a little old, too.
18. va
sadiq ,   somewhere   (05.20.13)
from usa u make order yes must go to war to vanish tow side
19. Judea/Samaria are forever. Lapid's star is falling already
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.20.13)
Judea and Samaria are the eternal ancestral heartland of the Jewish people. They are forever. Lapid will soon be gone. His star is already falling even now. Lapid will be even less successful than his father.
20. If any politician is going to
PaulD ,   Jerusalem   (05.20.13)
go ahead with their plan (like Sharon) to shrink Eretz Israel, they will only cause more disaster for the Jewish people worldwide. Since now, Arabs will be that much closer to achieving their Islamic prophecies of the destruction of the Jewish people. Then the Arabs will claim Jerusalem, which is what we will have to do, since we gave in on every other demand. No compromises, nothing for a cruel undeserving enemy.
21. Lapid
Mordechai ,   Beit Shemesh   (05.20.13)
He has not lost his voters, they agree with everything he says. they don't want a Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem but they r fed up to the teeth with the settlers and the vast sums of money that r poured into a worthless and unsustainable project. he tells the truth, many thousands will have the choice to return to Israel or lose their Israeli citizenship and become citizens of Palestine. he speaks the truth and it hurts but what is more important how those who don't agree can only attack him and not stop and think through what he said, his way is the only way to peace! unless of course you want war but in that case put your son where your mouth is!
22. Beware
Tony ,   USA   (05.20.13)
Look what happened to Ariel Sharon Remember ? If you Hirt you own brothers you will end up in the same hospital The fact is that the Arabs don't want any inch of land they don't want peace they want to kill all the Jews When all of you leftist are going to learn that?
23. Lapid will be long gone before anyone moves.
Wise Saba ,   Western Negev   (05.20.13)
He will be a one timer just like his father was.
24. Static Transfer of "Palestinians"
Gideon Reader   (05.20.13)
Codified National statute. All individuals not Jewish must swear total alligence to the State of Israel as a Jewish National state in order to be or have Israel citizenship. All others (not Jewish) may be allowed in place residency status. Not that difficult. it just takes "eggs".
25. "wearing jeans and his trademark black T-shirt"
MR   (05.20.13)
Now I know he is one of us! He is not "disconnected" like those ministers who wear a tie. He dresses like us because he... oh, crap. Oh, forgot to mention: I was born yesterday.
26. The Giborai israel.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (05.20.13)
The Giborai Israel in Judea and Samaria will be fruitful and multiply and their presence will only grow. Obama, Kerry, and all others will simply disappear from the face of the earth.
27. Jews need maintain Horrific Deterrant Capacity
Zechariah   (05.20.13)
Unity may demand no change in the Status quo the main issue is Israels Detrrant Capacity and to save Life from future inevitable threats a iron clad homeland Defense .It will be difficult balancing issue but its obtainable .Lapid s succeess has gone to his head a euphoric lack of caution is not to be taken seriously .He has no military experience like Glantz Ashkenazi and Yaalon his populism amongst the secular will have limits.
28. 21 Mordechai
Volvi   (05.20.13)
Well if you are one that agrees with his notion of retreat from Judea and Samaria, I feel sorry for you. All you will have accomplished is missiles and mortars raining down on your head and every day. When you take your children to kindergarten it will be fraught with danger just to get them there, if they survive. But at least you got what you wanted right? B'Hatzlacha, I for one will not be crying for you, for your family and for an Israel that invites suicide. In the end if you can be such fools....you deserve what comes on you for it is of your own making. I will remain in chull and raise a glass of wine on your behalf. Harsh word true, but I cannot sympathise with those amongst my people who seek suicide. If you must then do it for yourself alone and not to take the whole country with you. The settlers are all on the front line taking the brunt so that missiles dont fall on your head, but you cant see that right, money is all you see together with shtifat moach. ehh misken.
29. Give my Regards to 'Zionist for Ever'
Roland Seener ,   London England   (05.20.13)
30. Lapids yes man Bennet will not be to happy about this
zionist foreverr   (05.20.13)
Bennet has so far been nothing but a yes man for Lapid supporting all his proposals and is the only reason Lapid is in the coalition. Problem for Lapid is Bennet represents settlers and he wants to increase settlement growth last thing he needs is for his best buddy to be giving interviews to the NYT saying settlements will be uprooted. By the way Lapid if your reading this the trademark black shirt looks good on Steve Jobs but not the countries megalomanic finance minister your supposed to be representing the country so dress the part.
