The Jews ought not make peace with the Arabs but allow conditions for a truce .Certainly if they do not resort to Terror conditions ought be made better .Long term Security demands the Jews Militirize as much Territoty as possible missile launching sites and deeper shelters for Jews Arabs and Internationals..The Deterrance ought be maintained .The USA and other Friendly nations who need Jews and Israel ought share European Jewry seeking to flee the antisemitism .

In 1992 and in 1999 Labor told the same: Social agenda, corrupted Likud etc. But when got to rule Rabin got to Oslo and Barak to Camp David, forgetting about new immigrants in 1992 and about a poor old lady in the hospital in 1999. If they get to rule again - they will do the same and nobody can stop them.

Herzog and Livni would cede Jerusalem to bribe terrorist chief Abbas to sign a piece of paper. They have both proved this incontrovertibly. The election of Herzog and Livni would be a mindless act. It is incompatible with Israeli survival.

...a changing of the guard won't make Israel more secure either. Bibi may have his faults, but his challengers have a lot of proving to do before we voters decide of a change of leadership is worth our votes.

They don't say it to the pollsters because Israelis have bravado, but they think differently in private. If a young woman thinks her children will be soldiers, she will not want to have children in Israel. If the hope for peace subsides, there will be massive emigration.

In other words, you are suggesting the army should not be obligatory in Israel. However peaceful your idea and intentions, it seems you are one of those who believe that israeli governments have not been interested to improve the economy because when you increase social welfare, the people could emigrate to other countries? That's completely absurd!
