1. Only blissfuly lobotomised people can live in harmony with
(02.18.15)
the New Middle East. So I'd rather have my PM constantly "scared" than playing a Shimon-like fool....
2. Partially correct
SK ,   Tel Aviv   (02.18.15)
Even many of those on the right dislike the style of Netanyahu's fear mongering. There is a fine line between sowing fear, and calmly dealing with real threats. The problem with the left is that it has had an wholly unrealistic view of the external environment, and therefore the 'solutions' it has proscribed are deeply flawed.
3. Without the Right there's no luxury to be a Leftist
David ,   Israel / Australia   (02.18.15)
Its simple, in the early days of this country you had no option but to fight - didnt matter where you sat politically. Remember the reason why Golani's beret is brown - because the first fighters were made up of farmers (including women!) that fought against the invading Arab armies. Without a government and army that is prepared to fight to protect its country, the luxury of being able to have leftist views would not exist.
4. do talkbackers have no shame?
avramele   (02.18.15)
the guy is a zionist, a patriot and an officer in an elite unit. He may not be your political cup of tea but in a democracy he deserves the respect that is accorded to every citizen. Argue issues not virtues and take it to the ballot box. Unless of course you believe that only those who agree with you are entitled to political rights?
5. Dear Leftist Captain R.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.18.15)
In spite of your willingness to serve in the IDF this will not undo the much greater damage you cause by supporting Leftist causes.
6. They hate you
Moshe   (02.18.15)
My dear friend, The fact that you are fed up of feeling hated and prefer to dream is not netanyahus fault. His job as prime minister is to protect this country to the best of his ability. Living in fantasy world does nothing for the survival of the tiny jewish state
7. More Tzippy-Herzog election propaganda.
Jake   (02.18.15)
(And the Left complain about Israel Hayom? LOL)
8. Leftist, who told you to participate..
Beary White ,   Norway   (02.18.15)
...in the current election with a story? You are being used in a bad way. Thank you for serving in IDF.
9. "ISIS COLLABORATOR"
STEVE ,   JERUSALEM, ISRAEL   (02.18.15)
Captain R.- you and your lefty buddies are a far greater existential threat to Israel and the Jewish People than isis, hamas, hezbolla, and iran combined!!
10. ISIS
Zvi Fink ,   Modiin Israel   (02.18.15)
Even with your background in intelligence you misinterpreted the very humorous film. The program of the "left" will bring the terrorists to the areas in and around Jerusalem if handed over to the Palestinians under their current demands
11. And what about your friend on the left Burg who
(02.18.15)
like most membes of the Arab list support Islamic State?
12. Not called collaborator, called IGNORANT,,,the left is !!!
naftuli ,   jerusalem   (02.18.15)
he does not call you collaborator, He calls you IGNORANT,,, they guy they asked for directions was just ignorant and did not know who he was dealing with ... much like the LEFT in Israel.
13. excellent article
Brian ,   London   (02.18.15)
the ad campaign mirrors Nethanyahus mind - devoid of responsibility, shameful divisiveness and more than anything, humour associated with a 10 year old. The writer is correct, whether or not this treasonous man is the next PM, he is a passing episode in the long history of the Jews.
14. grow up
(02.18.15)
Anyone who lives here knows that Israelis can be blunt and insulting. Using unpleasant and offensive terms to describe political opponents is nothing new and part of Israel. Do you remember Leibovitch who called IDF soldiers judeonazis or how Peres called Likud the same as Hamas while he hugged murderer Arafat? So Captain R., just grow up.
15. what should concern you
(02.20.15)
What should concern you is not Netanyahu's alleged insults. 100% of the Likud and Jewish Home have defended IDF soldiers of charges of war crimes. On the other hand, not one member of the Left: Labor, Meretz and the Arab parties, has defended IDF against charges of war crimes. In fact, some members of the Left even call IDF war criminals
