It is not beyond the possibility that one of these two will be Prime Minister in the future with all the disaster that would involve because much if not most of the Israeli public is secular and cynical concerned very little for the security of their families when given the unrealistic promise of social financial rewards combined with the vicious Israeli hating "Israeli" Arab vote aided and abetted by the 90 % Post Zionist Media and walla you will have Oslo Two .Their ancestors in Morocco must be turning over in their graves that is if the Arabs there have not already destroyed them.
lets examine ehud barak's record over the last 17 years. he ran out of lebanon is such a rapid disorganized manner, leaving loads of equipment behind, and giving hezbollah the impression the idf was scared.
his response to the intifadah was pathetic and led to his ouster as pm. his concessions at camp david remind of gen reshef and shamni now offering concessions on Judea and Samaria and Jordan valley-generals who cannot see reality for what it is. there is no peace to be had with Palestinians now or forever, only cold arrangements. this will sooner or later see feiglin brought in as pm as Israelis are getting fed up with what the ruling class is feeding them.
barak allegedly ran left a training accident early when there were multiple Israeli casualties. in other words, when the going gets messy and dirty, barak was not there.
he under equipped and understaffed the number of commandos on the Marmara,which led to severe Israeli injuries just short of death.
his conduct in the Gaza war did not go far enough.
his response to terror was meek.
his responses to hezbollah arms transfers were minimal compared to yaalon and more recently to leiberman who is much more aggressive.
he endorsed herzog , a weakling incapable of leading the country.
ehud barak, a commando should never even have been chief of staff. he has success as a commando and that is where he should have stopped. barak was no great battlefield general,r rather a good commando on small operations.
Israelis should have no illusions about barak. an effective leader of Israel he is not and this is a proven fact.
