1. Living Curchill's memoirs?
v   (11.20.18)
"We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender"
2. What's this Fishman dude droning on about?
Steve Benassi ,   Plymouth, MN USA   (11.20.18)
Israel's northern border needs tending to...and the whole of the S-300 system needs to be destroyed...Putin can go jump in the lake if he doesn't like it.
3. Is there anyone that believes a word the Bibi utters????
Shachar ,   Eilat   (11.20.18)
Bibi is a bluffer and a gas bag. He should have launched a military operation against Hamas and instead gave in to terror like a terrified infant. "Mr Security" is a joke, he only attacks members of his coalition who are even wimpier than he is. Can't believe that toe-rag Bennett bought his bluff. Lets get rid of these losers quickly!
4. What a pretty face in the first photo.......
claudio ,   nahariya   (11.20.18)
Had Bibi drink lemon juice??????
5. !! Bibi: Not Striking Hard Enough in Gaza, Yet Warmonger
Setmose ,   Jerusalem   (11.20.18)
This is why the Left is shocked every election. They sing themselves to sleep with these vile lullabies, and then they are surprised when nobody cares what they have to say and vote Likud.
6. Does Alex think we’re THAT stupid?! Perfidious & primitive
(11.20.18)
Leftist propaganda piece!
Bibi will start wars just to “prove” himself?
What an arse this Fishman is!
7. bibi is not mr security
ray   (11.20.18)
bibi is in my opinion lying his teeth off about secret information being crucial.he says he will defend Israel. paying ransom to erodogan was not courage. releasing 1000 prisoners was not courage. being shot by friendly fire is not courage.near drowning is not courage.not hitting tunnels is not courage. permitting hamas to fire 500 rockets without at least equal response is not courage.

sucking up to Putin is not courage. rather it is cowardice.

Bennett supporting bibi won't really work because he will revert to his appeasement form. Israelis are not stupid that they will vote for lapid livni and gabbay as pm. they may vote for gantz who is undeserving based on his record.

only Bennett feiglin and lieberman can address the security challenge. bibi is unfit for defense. that is the absolute truth so Israelis should not hoodwink themselves. Bennett should pull the plug if bibi falters.
8. Sad truth no leadership in Israel worth a damn..
Al   (11.20.18)
A ship without a rudder.

Drifting to an ultimate sinking..

Very sad!

70 plus years after the great chorban and we learned nothing.

We Jews are insane.
9. Netanyahu is a peaceful man
Ken   (11.20.18)
But admittedly, he should have lowered the boom on Gaza.
10. get rid of him
lilian ,   T"A   (11.20.18)

steve gure   (11.20.18)
If BB was serious about fighting Hamas Lieberman would have not resigned and there would be no crisis
12. there is no doubt bibi kow towed to terror
(11.20.18)
Lieberman himself is an untrustworthy type. recall how he embraced john Kerry peace parameters-you might as well hang yourself with those concessions.

However, he worked with bibi up close before and when he was defense minister. he was correct in saying bibi kowtowed to terror. he did in in 2014, and now recently with Hamas again. and he will do it again in the violence to come. he is not a warrior regardless of his past. he resembles herzog-men of words and peace who crack at the first sign of trouble. in fact bibi is actually closer to olmert-both buckle under pressure.
13. we in the moderate middle have been telling you for years
Rafi ,   US   (11.22.18)
that the right wing in Israel - particularly as led by Netanyahu & Bennett - were morally bankrupt demagogues & cowards.

... that Israel needs to again find leaders of Yitzhak Rabin's quality, decency & mature responsibility willing to guide the country thru the constant perilous situations & challenges it always faces.

Rabin, z"l, actually led the nation very successfully on the world scene until he was violently removed from the scene by right-wing settler fanatics with their own selfish agenda... for which Israel is still pays to this day.
