1. Yair Lapid is a politician who wants to get elected
Vlad   (06.10.13)
Need I say more?
2. Very smart attitude, alienate your friends
Shachar ,   Eilat   (06.10.13)
less than 6 months after the election you're already booing and writing off a friend in high places. Politics is a long and dirty business, you throw your weight behind the best hope you have and in 4years time you make judgements of their progress. Seems you can't wait to get another Shas/Haredi gov't.
3. Lapid is in, Hareidim are out
Northern   (06.10.13)
It's a great opportunity to bring civil marriage to Israel, including same sex marriage. There are no more excuses.
4. The main problem:
(06.10.13)
Very high prices on food. As to sex, it goes next, very far on the line, after food.
5. A tit for tat
JGad ,   ISRAEL   (06.10.13)
Ask anyone who was following ynet and the news tabout he Rothchild riots in Tel Aviv a couple of years ago. Who called the jewish crouwds from Rothchild as slaves of the israeli system? Israeli citizens really don't care if Netanyahu is an arquitect, Lapid a journalist or Simon Perez eats falafel or if Boogie Bugi defense mk drives a Mercedes in Rabins Boulevard or Shenkin The Israeli people from Rothchild, Ariel, Cesarea or Beni Brak want to be well educated as well. True talented speeches cost money to taxpayers, just a few days ago in the knessset Mk Piron talked cheap, but don't trust to my opinion, better ask Yuli Edelstein how nice words in words workout with friends have a nice day Sir!.
6. the LBGT were quiet when Lapid raised the taxes
lili   (06.10.13)
and now they protest after he did "nothing", I think it is beyond words, where were they when he reduced child support and raised taxes, they are wrong, and they should say thank you for not make any wrong step in their direction.
7. #3 Northern
DavidR ,   USA   (06.10.13)
G-d forbid! Excuses are not needed. Torah speaks loud and clear!
8. #6 don't be stupid
(06.10.13)
I personally know many LGBT people protesting against taxes. What did you want us to do, carry rainbow signs protesting the taxes? Don't be stupid.
9. #7
Northern   (06.10.13)
I hate to break it to you, but Israel is not a theocracy. Quite frankly, I don't care what this or other book says. Torah does not dictate policy. If you believe in it, please by all means, please do. But you don't get to dictate policy based on an ancient book. Not in a modern 21st century country.
10. #8 right on
Northern   (06.10.13)
Israeli LGBT people are ordinary citizens. Not everything about their life is about the LGBT movement. In fact, it's a small part of their life which they wouldn't even advertise if not for the discrimination and incitement against them. Among the people who protested taxes, there were straight, gay, and transgendered people. What else does lili need?
11. DavidR 7
Twice Blessed   (06.11.13)
Your Torah has blinded you. Maybe you should move to Iran
12. to #6 just because you are a man it doesn't give you the
lili   (06.11.13)
right to call me stupid, and yes rainbow sign with taxes protest will be a nice change, and the LBGT is part of the general community, so it got no contradicion, unless you don't feel part of the Israeli society and in that I can not help you.
13. Oh shut up already!How about discrimination of left-handed
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.12.13)
people? All the doors have their knobs on the "wrong"(for them) side? That's just the beginning. Hand shaking comes to mind as well...Besides: I'd keep my mouth shut out of shame, had I voted for Yair Chavez!
14. Marriage is between man and woman
Simantov ,   Israel   (06.12.13)
Lapid did the right hing. Gay agenda is ungodly.
