1. elections around the corner ???
tomer ,   jerusalem   (03.07.18)
so maybe the time has come for a lapid,lieberman,livni,kahlon coalition.
Merge the parties and become a clean,center,center right alternative .

Annother option ,lieberman takes his party back into the likud and takes
over to bring common sense to this party in disarray.

for the left i see only a serious party still standing : Meretz.


2. Moron Moran omits that latest polls give Likud 36 seats
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (03.07.18)
3. UTJ will shoot self in foot
Shalom ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.07.18)
According to all the polls, if UTJ provokes elections the main change will be to double the representation of Yesh Atid and half that of the Zionist Union (aka Labor). In short, to do UTJ's most resolute opponents a great favor.
4. elections are dangerous
ron   (03.07.18)
contrary to recent polls, if elections are forced to happen, bibi and likud will be reduced to around 20 seats or less, because the public is sick of his Bennett who is easily the best security politician for Israel, far more able than bibi, could win 16 seats or in other words pick up seats that likud loses because of bibi.

Israelis overlooking lapid being another olmert crony who will withdraw from parts of west bank, may vote him in. kulano and kahlon may go with yesh atid since kahlon was never a right of center security man. Zionist union wil be reduced to 12-15 seats. in the end, lapid may form a govt

guess what happens: Israel withdraws from parts of area C, and terror increases. defensible borders shrink, and Israel will be at the mercy of USA and Russia.

Lapid may even concede part of the Golan heights as olmert was planning to do, that security dunce.he will definitely give up east Jerusalem. then the predictable will happen-endless terror incidents and arguments in the capital with lies happening 24/7. and jews will then have to go to trump's international committee for resolution of disputes. this is ridiculous. Jews have to be in control;otherwise they should leave Israel and go back to Poland or move to USA as zohar of gaza says.otherwise there is no meaning of the holocaust. jews have to control their own security from defensible borders, no sharing, no dependence on anyone else.

that some prefer dependence and sharing like herzog lapid gabbay, gal on and even some in likud shows that the sons and daughters of the founders have been spoiled by material riches and have lost the imperative of the founders.

like water to life, jews have to control their own security and from defensible borders. otherwise, jews will end up like the kurds.


bibi has to be replaced. he has no capacity to tell trump no. bennett, feiglin can say no, bibi cannot, he tells us this over and over ie we have to coordinate with trump, we must no upset him. what a gutless politician


so what does that mean. Perhaps, perhaps jews have a death wish.

any other people would let likud know to replace bibi before the elections as he is just an articulate windbag with security credentials racked with fear. bennett according to the shapira report is the natural leader of israel.feiglin will get enough votes to enter the knesset. lieberman has so far done a bette job than ehud barak andyaalon together . general galant may be tapped by bennett to lead the idf against hezbollah becausse that war is coming. and bibi is not up to the task. he is too fearful.

5. Noooooo shaked pm
Tehraniporou   (03.07.18)
nice new picture btw
6. We will likely see monumental victory for patriotic right
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.08.18)
It looks like most Israelis are not fooled by the hoax leftist "investigation" (read witch hunt) against Bibi. In fact, the witch hunt is galvanizing the patriotic right and fed up centrists to support Likud and the Jewish Home. We will likely see a monumental victory for the right.
