1. Redefining the word
Sagi   (05.29.14)
facetious.
2. You're right ;) ,...
split ,   US   (05.29.14)
It would be if it wasn't for the lack of good manners on his part and the urge to lecture other heads of state. You don't have to a rocket scientist to attend funerals and greet other pinheads like him ,...
3. What a Leftist drivel, transparent attempt to blemish Bibi

4. Let whoever be president on his..
Ayala ,   Israel   (05.29.14)
expense.
5. Is this article a late April Fools joke?
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.29.14)
I don't know how an article could be much dumber than this. It's a stupid slap at the presidency. It's stupidly deferential to Peres; an exceptionally harmful politician. It stupidly paints Israel as "increasingly boycotted", though tourism is setting new records and the economy is booming. It's stupidly disrespectful towards Rivlin, who most Israelis support. Is this ridiculous article a late April Fools joke?
6. SPIT doesn't even know any of the names mentioned, yet....

the Polak who's father served the Nazis as informant on hiding Jews, is day and night on Islamonazi websites extracting propaganda garbage and posting it here.
7. #3 you are so funny
peter ,   tel Aviv   (05.29.14)
since when does this joke of a PM need someone to make fun of him. The man wrote thr truth. Bibi is somewhere in a cloud where he does not see where he is. But as long as there are people like you my friend his place in history is safe lol.
8. this article
sharon ,   israel   (05.30.14)
Good for the writer!! Bibi is one of the worst (if not the worst) prime ministers this country has ever had. The country runs in spite of him and his pathetic govt. Let he and his wife be put in a museum someplace and leave us alone already. They both have done enough damage.
9. 3 not mine.

11. #8 great talkback!

It is always funny to see the intelligence of Leftist's on display. You can disagree with Netanyahu as most Zionists do for his Leftist policies, but call him the worst PM? Rabin armed Arafat and gave us the First Oslo War with bus bombs in Tel Aviv and hundreds of dead. Peres following was unable to protect Tel Aviv and stop Arafat's troops, but did give us the 106 dead civilians in Qana. Netanyahu stepped in, saved the economy, and stopped Arafat's war. Self-Styled genius Mr. "amutot" Barak served only 18 months, almost surrendered Golan to Assad (as in Sarin and Chlorine gas), and brought us the Second Oslo War with thousands of dead. Sharon brought us "Greek Island" and his disastrous Gush Katif withdrawal, including astronomic defense costs, Hamas in power, and rockets on Sderot, Ashkelon, Ashdod and even Tel Aviv. So that leaves us either Netanyahu or Olmert as the best PM since Shamir. From your Talkback, it seems you prefer Olmert. You should visit him in Maasiyahu and tell him.

I suggest an ice cream museum.
13. While I appreciate the humor in the article
Shachar ,   Eilat   (05.30.14)
having Bibi as Prime Minister is bad but having Sarah as first lady is more than any of us can bear!!
14. # 11 -- you are right on!
Josh ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (06.02.14)
Agree 100% with you. The reader's (# 8)comment showed his/her superficial grasp of Israeli and world affairs and history. It does not require intelligence to find fault with Bibi -- or anyone else. What does require some brains is to see the overall picture: that Bibi has performed very creditably in the world's most demanding job. He's held the government together; held the economy together; stood up to the unreasonable demands of the new American administration; and spoken consistently and eloquently about Israel's eternal values. All this as opposed to the others, as # 11 has documented quite well. Be thankful for what we have.
