2. Can't accept the truth BIBI was the choice
(03.19.15)
Yedioth Ahronoth publisher Arnon (Noni) Mozes led the charge, helped by his internet portal Ynet. Yedioth's most senior reporters and its self-proclaimed "pundits" brainwashed us weeks on end, trying to destroy this country and malign entire segments of society -- all the while mocking the incumbent prime minister. As for Zionist Union leader Isaac Herzog, they made sure he had bubble wrap around him lest he get even the slightest blemish. But on Tuesday night, the higher-ups at Yedioth Ahronoth and Ynet had to recork the champagne bottles and eat a lot of crow. Despite working on the victory celebrations for two whole days, it turned out Mozes failed to seize the reins of government and restore his good-old-days at the helm. His army of pundits failed to deliver, despite spreading toxic fumes all over. The media outlets voted for the Left. The public voted for the Right. Netanyahu will form the next government.
3. Shimon; There is nothing to negociate
Jerome ,   Akl   (03.19.15)
Ehud Barak offered everything, most of the territories including Jerusalem and some territory swap in other areas. They refused to recognize Israel and drop future claims against the state. For the leftists, it is just the wording of a document. For the right it is more than that. It means actually no end to the conflict and that the 67 borders are just the jumping platform for the rest of Israel.
4. I think the Left ought to follow the advice of their
Dan   (03.19.15)
mentor, Theodor Herzl, and create their own state in Uganda with Herzog and Livni as their Prime Minister and Vice PM, and Lapid as their nochshleper. The best part would be that they wouldn't have to deal with haredim, or with any religious Jew, for that matter. How about?
5. Blame the Op-Eds
Jake ,   Jerusalem   (03.19.15)
Israel is hardly divided; we have freedom of choice and we express it together. The nation overwhelmingly chose Bibi. The problem is that some 'news' sources can not accept it since they were pushing so hard to make it a Bouji government. The people spoke: they do not lean left as the op-eds do, so I recommend that the op-eds get their act together are smell the reality and realize that we are together and we do like Bibi.
6. Shimon,all the world is diveded. Why/because people all over have to struggle tooo much

7. Blame
Jay ,   Brooklyn, USA   (03.19.15)
Correct, you can't blame the voters. Blame goes to the lying media and the biased pollsters. Incompetence or malice?
8. Thank you Ynet!!!
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (03.19.15)
Everyday you had articles bashing Bibi. Hopefully now you realize that one side media bias will only push voters in the other direction!!!
9. National unity government
Mike ,   Tel Aviv   (03.19.15)
"A national unity government is virtually impossible".........really? Rubbish. It's easy, but the likud sharks won't want it. All you need is Likud + Zionist Union + Yesh Atid + Kulanu and you have already 30+24+10=11 = 75, enough for a stable government. And you can also add Meretz and Shas to it too, bringing it up to 87.
10. project for the new government
Adler J   (03.19.15)
Jerusalem is the Capital of Israel. To improve economy lets build an international airport! it will provide more jobs for Jerusalem citizens, and more tourists will have the option to visit first Jerusalem when they come to Israel, this might improve Jerusalem position among all the nations and will provide social welfare too. Tel Aviv needs some competition.

12. What divided nation?
Moshe the Genuine   (03.22.15)
The nation has rejected the white tribe led by the daddy's boys and girls. Post-Zionism is so passé, neo-Zionism is the new buzz.
