1. The Left still whining for their loss.
Reuven   (11.03.15)
The Selish Rav in Romania, Rabbi Shmelke Klein zt"l; Rav Chaim Volozhiner zt"l; and Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Isaac Herzog have one thing in common. Sadly, they left behind wayward, G-dless descendants. Yair Lapid grandson of Rav Klein's ; Shimon Peres grandson of Rav Chaim Volozhin; and Isaac Herzog grandson of Chief Rabbi Herzog. Hopefully their revered grandfather's will assist them in repenting their rebellious ways against G-d.
2. Israel today
sybil Shapiro ,   Israel   (11.03.15)
when a mob of Israelis step over a stabbed woman leaving her lying in the street while they all pursuue the sabber something stinks in or society bibi has managed to fill us with hate and no oom for humanity
3. herzog-don't make me throw up
marv   (11.03.15)
this is your idea of some israeli saviour- \i want to throw up thinking of herzog, a puny olmert appeaser. \in the meantime, yaalon get off y our ass already. \forget about bibi who is born fear-afraid of livni, afraid of obama, afraid of putin, afraid of everything. Destroy the tunnels coming from gaza. \forget about bibi who has taken you away from real offensive idf actions into calm for calm bull. \you have no future attached to bibi who without you, cannot even handle hamas and hezbollah.
4. This is a joke, right? So "security" is suddenly a god-given
(11.03.15)
one-dimensional issue? Have a look around your world, silly man and then dare to criticize "Bibi". Yeah, you go ahead and topple the best PM we've ever had....
5. Perhaps we should ask Benny Gantz?
Jew-C ,   JewLandia (Israel)   (11.02.15)
6. because Herzog is no alternative and the Left lacks support
Jake   (11.03.15)
Not even Lapid endorsed Herzog for PM and he has distanced himself from the Leftist camp.
7. There's no such thing.
Brad ,   USA   (11.03.15)
Bibi has a brain, the left doesn't. Case closed.
8. The public is smarter than Leshem
Shalom ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.03.15)
Since 1996, Labor (Barak) fled from South Lebanon, encouraging the Second Intifada and enabling Hizbullah to threaten Israel with 100,000 rockets. Sharon, with Labor support, enabled Hamas to rise in Gaza. So the choice, unlike in 1996, is either to reconquer all those territories, with massive losses, or (as Netanyahu does) to minimize losses by selective military action. The Israeli public understands this, unlike Leshem. It knows that the Left's panacea, more negotiations with and concessions to Abbas, is absurd. And so the public has concluded that the only alternative to Netanyahu is Lieberman: not Labor and not Meretz.
9. beilin's confederation
harold   (11.03.15)
beilin continues to try to rescue his lousy oslo that he foisted onto rabin. Now he talks about a confederation with an interim palestinian state.It won't work because judaism and islam do not mix period. There would be endless disputes. So beilin again strikes out. Israel's choices are a) continue on with 2 state monotony b) annex and go the way of an assertive state with paid transfers c) pack up and move to a UN sanctionned new land with an endowment by the world as compensation. Zohar doesn't want jews period in palestine which includes tel aviv. A few token jews would be kept-livni-minister of women, olmert-minister of corrections, belin-foreign advisor, herzog- minsiter of social affairs, lapidmiister of communications and peres- deputy speaker of palestine parliament.
10. Intelligent sane Jews suppor the right!
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.03.15)
Why don't intelligent sane Jews, like Bibi, support the left? The answer is very simple. Intelligent sane Jews don't want Israel turned into a 9 mile wide concentration camp. Intelligent sane Jews know that "Palestinians" are mortal foes and not peace partners. Intelligent sane Jews know the lunacy of sacrificing our sole tiny Homeland for worthless paper. That is intelligent sane Jews support the Israeli right.
11. For what purpose? To create another murderous Oslo?
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.03.15)
Left's problem is not coming up with a clever strategy but not having sane ideas.
12. Dear Baruch: you've lost permanently, now: get a Life!
(11.03.15)
13. Left is an irrelevant entity, run by low IQ morons
Tomer ,   tel aviv   (11.03.15)
Mostly elderly, rich ashkenazi seculars with no brain.
14. The left only exists in the minds of the media
Daniel ,   TA_IL   (11.03.15)
the street does not like the elitist arrogance of the leftwingers who live lavishly in ivory towers created from taxfunds. let's get real.... no leftwing state ever prospered or survived - look at Venezuela. the left only creates hate dictators and those who demonize everyone who thinks not exactly like them. If you want to really activate the street, listen to the street and be respectful of the street. Two thing I did not come across in any leftist!
