1. Haber's articles get dumber all the time
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.05.15)
Livi a "dream princess"? Livni is a disaster to anyone who loves Israel. This article insults human intelligence.
2. STILL KEEPING HISTORY CLASSIFIED, MR. HABER ?
FO ,   Belgium   (01.04.15)
Just to be concise, Mr. Haber: "There are two sides to the Jordan River, this one is our and that one too". This was not a "parent's dream only".It was the unanimously voted decisions by all the 51 members of the League of Nations in 1922, (the former UN if you like), a decision called the MANDATE FOR PALESTINE, that gave the Jews the "IRREVOCABLE RIGHT for RECONSTITUTING THEIR NATIONAL HOME", in clear, A STATE! And Jabotinsky just the name of a street? Being as clever as your are, Mr. Haber, do you know who was Nahum Sokolov, besides a name of a street? Well, he was a prominent figure of the Left and close collaborator of Haim Weizmann, and he wrote the following in the introduction of his two volume "History of Zionism": "It has been said, and is still being obstinately repeated by anti-Zionists again and again, that Zionism aims at the creation of an independent Jewish State. But this is wholly fallacious. The Jewish State was never part of the Zionist programme. The Jewish State was the title of Herzl's first pamphlet, which had the supreme merit of forcing people to think"… And this Nahum Sokolov, leading leftist ideologist and Jewish State denier, became the leader of the World Zionist Organization from 1931 till 1936. Hitler came to power in 1933, and denying a Jewish State brought upon the Jewish people the biggest tragedy of its history, the SHOAH! I can understand, Mr. Haber, that you prefer some people being remembered just by street names and not more!
3. Good, enjoyable article !

4. Livni
(01.06.15)
Although the issue of the "Likud princes" is interesting, it seems Haber lost the plot to advance Livni's interests. Livni did not suddenly realize that Leftism was a good idea. She was a Likud back-bencher who got her job because of her parents. She was faithful to Likud principles until Sharon offered her a bribe to join him. in Kadima. Her transformation from Right to Left had everything to do with personal gain, and nothing to do with beliefs. What Haber should do is explain Livni's popularity despite the fact that she has failed miserably in every single Minister position she has held. Can Haber point out even one achievement?
5. #4. Livni's "popularity"?
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.06.15)
Livni is about as popular as the proverbial skunk at a garden party. Israeli voters were prepared to wipe her and her horrid Hatnua Party off the political map in the coming election. Ultimately Livni will drag down Labor among voters. Morally and ideologically, Labor can hardly sink any lower.
