1. US really helped 6 millionjews
mark   (04.11.15)
bibi was dead right about iran while herzog, livni and lapid are weaklings who run after obama while kameinei develops his nuclear weapons. This cannot be taught to herzog who is weak in his bones. Bibi is weak too. The arabs want israel out and not a state. That ben dror believes world sympathy and a palestinian state will bring peace is pathetic- it will not happen. tibi wants the jews out or dead- take your pick. Bibi is scared and weak and looks for all to sing in unison. On his own he is weak. and ben dror considers him hawkish shows how weak israelis are. have some bloody self respect for a change instead of running around for concessions. How about demanding ruebens land on the east bank for starters? it is original israeli. i wanted to throw up after reading this drivel from ben dror.
2. NO WAY!
Jew-C ,   JewLandia (Israel)   (04.11.15)
I for one am tired of being the dirty leftist loin cloth for the right wing ingrates. Prime Minister Mr. Netanyahu cooked up this stew let him boil in it all by himself! Alternatively let him have the genital integrity (cojones) to create a national unity government to one end only: TO CHANGE THE ELECTORAL AND GOVERNING SYSTEMS OF ISRAEL.
3. Utter stupidity
George ,   Ashdod   (04.11.15)
Yemini just can't get over losing the election. Does he really think that the type of government Israel has will make even the slightest scintilla of difference concerning the Iranian nuclear agreement? Grow up Yemini and get a life.
4. You Left are such sorẻ losers
DT ,   TA Ỉsrael   (04.11.15)
5. whatever allows govt to bridle haredim, heal schisms
Sage of the Age ,   Israel   (04.11.15)
Decreeing 90% of Jews goyim because they're not haredi is a far greater threat to Israel than any external threat. Restoring internal harmony is more important than any concerns about Iran.
6. What is this attempt at "winning" the race after losing it?
(04.11.15)
7. Iran and many others don't accept Israel even in Armistanc
Zechariah   (04.11.15)
The Jews could withdraw from 85% of Judea and Samaria keeping all Settlements even as 'islands' in exchange for 1000Sqm of Islamic Israel Hamas Fatah Ba'ath Iran Isis which make up hundreds of millions of Islam reject it .With Violence Rocket attacks and Nukes in the decades to the Future .
8. A unity government right now ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.11.15)
..... would be an unmitigated disaster. Herzog? Livni? Lapid? I don't think so. The overwhelming majority of Israelis have spoken and have given the Likud and other right-wing parties an unprecedented mandate. Prime Minister Netanyahu can create a government without the money-grubbing religious parties. Kahlon will be the Finance Minister (what a breath of fresh air after Lapid!) and a smart prime minister would choose either Bennett or Lieberman as Defense Minister. That will make Israel's sit up and pay attention. It will also make the Iranians very, very scared -- more so than they already are. A unity government would only weaken Israel. It would also ignore the wishes of the people.
9. Whenever the right wins there must be a unity government.
Zev ,   Israel   (04.11.15)
But when the left wins they can rule even with a one seat majority!!
10. Unity for war, but no unity for peace.
Indi ,   London, UK   (04.12.15)
11. Mr. Yamini is right wing...
(04.12.15)
what's up with you TBers? Anyone who disagrees with you isn't automatically a left winger...he's a right winger with a different point of view. and for the record most of you are ignorant fascists.
