1. Women in politics are often insensitive. Yachomovich is not
Rivkah   (11.27.13)
unusual. Kathleen Sebelius in the USA and Hillary Clinton are famously insensitive. That is a failing of many women in politics since they think if they bend on an issue it is a sign of weakness rather than of understanding. They think if they bend, they will break. Women are also unimaginably vicious compared to men in authority as a general rule. Homosexual female commanders and C.O.'s in the US military are intolerant of Christians and Jews and run them out of the military if they can. Hillary Clinton was so unable to bend that she would not allow guards at the US Embassies have ammunition in their weapons in dangerous situations like Benghazi. She watched for seven hours with BHO and others the torture of US Ambassador Chris Stevens being gang raped and cattle prodded in the genitals at Benghazi and I am sure she has a video to entertain her when she feels down, to watch that again. BHO is a male who is actually worse than a female in power. He could have ordered the building to be blown up with a missile to stop the horror and kill the killers but he did nothing since he loves violence toward Americans since he is not one. He is an Indonesian by adoption and a communist by philosophy and he hates America and is doing all he can to destroy the economy and not protect the military or even Ambassadors from harm. He is a Hillary with a black face.
2. satire?
(11.27.13)
"Yachimovich...is one of the most talented parliamentarians"? Is "Baruch Leshem" a nom de plum of Shelley? Maybe records count? Maybe Labor voters remember her part in installing Hezbollah (meaning Syria and Iran) on Israels northern border? Or laborites (usually rich people) saw what her economic policies did to Greece and Spain? As for Herzog, why is it no one discusses his role in Amutot Barak, Israel's second biggest corruption case?
3. "Iranian threat is not so intimidating anymore"?
Neil B.   (11.27.13)
On the contrary, it's more intimidating that ever!
4. Not a felon because he refused to cooperate
Nolan   (11.27.13)
Like Bugsy Malone or some other mafioso he just took the right not to cooperate and walked away without harm from the police investigation on the fake charities he funneled money into (on false pretenses yet). So perhaps he doesn't belong in jail as he could not be convicted but he certainly does not belong in public office.
5. #4
(11.27.13)
Deri and Lieberman tried the same, and the police invested unprecedented amounts of time and money to try and convict them. When they investigated Buji for amutot Barak (a theft estimated at 100 times more than Deri) the police invested 5 minutes.
6. #1 Rivkah
Raoul ,   Herzliya Israel   (11.27.13)
Insightful and thought-provoking observations.
7. the question is actually quite simple:
oferdesade ,   israel   (11.27.13)
r israelis ready to be led by a normal person?! not a crook, not a lambastic airbag, not a psycho, not a media monger. just a normal everyday person who believes in working hard and getting the job done. time will tell... i fear.
8. Correction
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.27.13)
"The fact that it beheads its leaders after every failure to win the elections shows that it has adopted the saying coined by American football coach Henry Russell: 'Winning isn’t everything; it’s the only thing.' Henry Russell Sanders, not "Henry Russell."
9. Assad is quaking in his boots!
Rachel ,   US   (11.27.13)
10. although not a fan of yechimovich, who is...
oferdesade ,   israel   (11.27.13)
truly an extreme version of bleeding heart liberals who wouldn't lift a finger to really help someone who needs it but can't help her own self image, your rant is borderline (well, no - NOT borderline) psycho!! you need to change suppliers and examine what they roll into your stuff for you.
11. Let's hope that the "gentle" Buji H. can put this Party into
tom ,   tel aviv   (11.27.13)
well deserved Eternal Rest, Amen.
12. If his team don't field, what is he? No one.
Jake   (11.27.13)
13. The Labor Party is utterly despicable.
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.28.13)
The Labor Party is irredeemable. It doesn't matter who leads it. It is too far gone. We are talking about a party so crazily left wing that it slams Bibi even as Bibi tries to keep Iranian genocidists from building nukes to use against us!! The Labor Party is utterly despicable. Labor's criminal negligence cost thousands of Israelis their lives and well being. From from apologizing, Labor seeks to inflict more such "peace making" on innocent Israeli civilians.
14. Why the insulting nickname?
Rivkah F. ,   Jerusalem   (11.28.13)
I'm no fan of Herzog or of the Labor party, but why call him "baby face." He is a politician for nearly two decades and deserves to be treated with respect and not insulted. Imagine if a woman was given a nickname because some journalist thought she looked a certain way. My one real complaint against Herzog is his complicity in the illegal non-profits during the Barak campaign in 2000. That should be re-examined before he progresses further.
15. #1 I adore Your Sense of Humor!
IsraelIt ,   Israel   (11.28.13)
So off the wall and zany. Your insight into Israeli politics seriously provides me with endless amusement and hilarity. Please keep it up and make sure you continue to stay away from that toxic soy...
16. He just declared his undying sympathy for brotherly senti-
tom ,   tel aviv   (11.29.13)
ments as represented by Zoabi & Zahava, the two unflinching fighters for Israel's demise and creation of a proper, terrorist state by the name of "Palestine". With these individuals he is planning to fight the REAL enemy: Benjamin Netanyahu! 'Ata Boy, Buji!
