1. Bennet is right !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.28.13)
2. Of course Bennett doesn't want to leave government
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (10.28.13)
He has his snout in the trough, and he is liking the taste. You also have to remember he is one of those holding the vast majority of normal decent Israelis hostage, and until we break that stranglehold the likes of Bennett will have in his hand an amount of power far beyond his pay grade or the number of people he professes to represent. 500,000 settlers v 5.5 million Israelis
3. #1 - Bennett is definitely right
Mike ,   Jerusalem   (10.28.13)
but completely wrong! Follow Bennett to the end of a Jewish State of Israel. If that's not what you want, have a very good think...
4. #1
Harold ,   USA   (10.28.13)
You are right about Netanyahu and Oslo and that is the reason why Mr. Rabin was assassinated.
5. I see the picture of Tzippi in her prison suit to come...
Hymie   (10.28.13)
6. Better is right! G-d Bless him!
Frank ,   USA   (10.28.13)
At least there is someone who is smart to protect Israel.
7. Bennett is absolutely right!!
M.C.   (10.28.13)
For a change think about reality! Abbas/PA is part of the terrorist PLO started by Arafat. Israel made a huge mistake resurrecting Arafat and giving him misplaced recognition. The PA and Hamas are one. Terrorists!! This has been proven continuously and their mutual goal is the destruction of Israel. They continuously say so and we have proof from their actions too often. Unfortunately the present day leaders of Israel have lost their self respect and have become blinded to the reality that surrounds us. There can never be negotiations with terrorists!! Is it really so difficult to see this? Livni and Bibi and others have become so divorced from the needs of Israelis and eager to placate the USA that they are incapable of guarding the security and sovereignty of the country We are fortunate to have Bennett who understands the situation and is not afraid to speak up. This is what Israel needs now in order to built up lost deterrence. Bennett needs to be in the government!! His voice needs to be heard. Calls for him to resign are misguided. What could he achieve from the opposition? Don't knock him, support him. The future of Israel is more secure in his hands than in those of the present day leaders!!
8. Really?
KD ,   NYC, USA   (10.28.13)
Giving away pieces of the country, releasing terrorists and telling the world that they're right about how" horrible Israelis are" wont lead to the end of Israel. But Bennett will, right? LOL
9. Tsipi advocating a disaster.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (10.28.13)
I am proud to support Naftali Bennet. No to the release of terrorist murderers. No to a terrorist state in Judea and Samaria. Why should Bennet leave the government. Better idea Livni should leave the government.
10. Kennedy, Rabin, killed by own governments, right wing haters
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.28.13)
11. #2, its 500k settlers, supported by the majority of voters
Jake ,   USA   (10.28.13)
The Israeli left is dead. Judea & Samaria belong to Israel, and most Israelis believe that. Those that support a PA state only do so because they are tired of the conflict, not because they believe the PA deserves it.
12. Habayit Hayehudi out? Bad
Nora Tel Aviv   (10.28.13)
Shas in? Worse.
13. Noach went against the herd too and we know the end of that
B'H ,   for Bennett   (10.28.13)
story.... Bennett is the ONLY person who is RIGHT!!!!! Good for you Bennett. Thank G-d we have YOU because everyone else would have given away the farm a long time ago.
14. releasing terror
RayS ,   USA   (10.28.13)
If I have learned anything in my 89 years ,it is that paying blackmail leads to greater problems. On top of this, the release of murderers is a betrayal of the victims.
15. #12
Badbob ,   NYC USA   (10.28.13)
That will never happen, no chance Lapid will sit with Shas. I put this all on Bennett, he cant have it both ways. The fact that he did not pullout shows he is just as much of a partner in putting murders back on the street to kill Jews again.
16. Now I know why I voted for that dear man Naftali
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (10.28.13)
and not Obama's obedient lapdog, whose father is turning in his grave over the wayward son's wicked behavior.
17. Wait till next elections.We will tell Likud what we think...
Silverman ,   Tiberia   (10.28.13)
about this and what it is up to in general with the PA these days. It ain't gonna be pretty.
18. THAAAANK YOU NAFTALI........!!!!!!!!
Israel ,   Jerusalem   (10.28.13)
You are Israel's only hope...!!!!!!!
19. I agree with other posters, Bennett is right.
Steve Klein   (10.28.13)
Having been politically active myself for eight years, I learned the hard way, you fight within a viable party for your principles. You do not quit so long as there is hope and there is hope in Likud, notwithstanding that Israel's prime minister is faltering. PM Netanyahu said: "...our decision (to release murderous terrorists) is a necessity of the reality we live in. We need to navigate a complex international arena and this forces us to take into account different factors." This is where a man's faith and political courage come into play. A strong leader will not bow to immoral U.S. administration pressure; regardless of whether it is a Republican or a Democratic administration. Sadly, former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon bowed to immoral Bush administration pressure and we lost Gaza. We lost our beautiful communities in Gush Katif, Gaza.
20. bennett is doing nothing wrong
marcel   (10.28.13)
No one should committ violence. However, bennett is allowed to say his piece and I remind livni that she got less than half the mandates that bennett got so maybe she should be more realistic. As for rabin lovers, rabin was not a great pm, did not bring peace with egypt and he fellinto peres trap of the rotten stinking olso process. As for bibi, israel is in rough shape because bibi is better than many of the candidates, yet he himself is a bs artist with no resolve, weak, ineffectual, gutless.. iran will definitely get the bomb no doubt about it. iran is laughing all the way to the bomb. Do not worry cause bibi will not bomb you even if god came down and instructed bibi to do so.
21. Bennett is right, Livni is
PaulD ,   Jerusalem   (10.28.13)
completely mean spirited, arrogant, and has a bloated sense of self. Hasn't she caused enough pain to the people of Israel?
22. A Man of Principle
Michael ,   Haifa   (10.28.13)
The trouble is, however, that his principles are tinged with racist nationalism mixed with the blind dogmatism of religion. He is definitely not my "Brother"
23. Judae and Samaria need be Security Bases
Zechariah   (10.28.13)
The Jordan valley and most of area C needs to be a massive armed base with Impenetrable Defense and Horrific Deterrant capability of Crack Shock troops from Israel NATO Bedouin Jordanian and Preferably Russian and Chinese Armies.Jewish Arab and Internationalist Mega cities Can be Built nearby this massive Peace by Fear Structure .
24. Bennett is the centrist its the leftists attacking him
Mordechai   (10.28.13)
Bennett represents the center of Israeli politics. The radical left knows the vast majority of Israeli Jews support Bayit Yehudi and do not want terrorists freed. Clearly the left is scared of Bayit Yehudi forming the next government and seeing Livni not pass the threshold and Likud being Bennetts jr partner in the coalition. So there are trying to setup conditions to outlaw Bayit Yehudi and arrest those citizens who are vocal opponents of the left. The left hates free speech
25. Mr. Bennet,,, in the words of Helen Thomas
Khalil Sykes ,   Houston, Texas   (10.29.13)
"The home of the European Jew is Europe"(no pun),, you will be packing your bags soon,,,,,, soon as Daddy comes home.
26. Bennett should be Israeli P.M.
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.29.13)
Bennett has the guts and strong morals Israel desperately needs for her P.M. Moreover, Bennett's party is fighting hard for Israel, whereas Bibi bows in pathetic subservience to Obama, no matter the cost to Israel.
27. #2. Six million Jews vs. leftist handful.
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.29.13)
#2. Both polls and elections prove the vast majority of Israel supports our ancestral heartland of Judea and Samaria. It's more like 6 millions Israelis against a relative handful of destructive leftists.
28. #27 Both the election and pollls show
On the Balcony   (10.29.13)
that the majority of Israeli's support a two state solution and the on-going peace negotiations which is precisely why the government is pursuing it. Throwing stones at Livni for doing her job is as absurd as praising Bennett for his hypocrisy. Livni was recruited by Bibi and it is Bibi along with Bennett and the rest of the cabinet who are calling the shots in the negotiations. And they would not be negotiating if Bennett or Bibi did not truly believe that the talks are in Israel's best interests.
29. in other words bennett denies palestines right to exist
