Alan ,   SA   (12.25.18)
2. So now it’s ok for a full blown operation in Gaza?
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (12.25.18)
The change in election timing has to do with Trump announcement to immediately pull out of Syria
With this “catastrophe “ and uncertainty who else is there to vote for?
3. Just a week ago Zima was clamoring for elections, now she's
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (12.25.18)
against.

This Imbecile with no principles always objects to anything Netanyahu is for, even issues she was for a few days before.
4. You might say that - but the people not you will decide
judah ,   jerusalem   (12.25.18)
And currently they are strongly in favour of Bibi, that should tell you something.
5. sima-your hatred blinds you
jeff   (12.25.18)
contrast your heroes with netanyahu who you clearly hate. livni-as dumb an Israeli as there ever was. her only claim to fame is her holding hands with erekat. lapid-another ignoramus knows nothing about defensible borders. a tel aviv coffee drinker who learned everything from crook olmert. gabbay-doesn't know how to negotiate and gullible. looks like he lost before he starts. gantz, a media darling who was a passive chief of staff, you forgot that he was sharply criticized during gaza war. did n'tt do much in the hezbollah war. no great general.was no show during the iran attack debate.

bibi is no saint, unsure of himself in the security field, doesn't go for the throat and like ramon hides behind walls. i am no fan, but i would never choose your candidates, not if they paid me to vote for them.

bennett and feiglin are my preferred votes based on 3 factors.

1)if you can read a bloody map, there is no room to give on defensible borders.
2) the demographic argument is overplayed,emigration is a significant issue and there other jordan citizenship ways. in fact jordan and mandate can be reconsidered since there are claims to the land of reuben, gad and menassash.
3)israelis have to be in control of their own security, with no oversee arranments that olmert stupidly considered like american, saudi or eu.
6. Simi would be hilarious if not so pathetic.
Jake   (12.25.18)
7. Bad Bibi, crooked BIbi, etc , etc
Arnie ,   Montreal   (12.25.18)
Shut up . You want Bibi out then this is your opportunity. But if he is re-elected then realize there is something thatcher he must be doing right.
8. Sima
Me   (12.26.18)
The people of Israel don't want the return of austerity USSR style. Protectionism for the red carnet carrier, administrative jobs according to the family name and party affiliation instead of credentials. I remember the anti social discrimination, compound chocolate and yogurt only when I was sick.
Nothing to be proud of labour, mapai and the left.
9. Early elections are always done at current leader convenienc
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (12.26.18)
Take UK for example.

May thought it would be advantageous for her to have early elections.

In the end her party lost seats so nothing is ever guaranteed.
10. Sima the clueless on her favorite topic. Surprise us just
(12.26.18)
once, Sima please!
11. Sima, you underestimate how stupid the public wants to be
Shachar ,   Eilat   (12.26.18)
Corruption, lies and hypocrisy are absolutely fine....unless it is an opposition leader of course. Hell, Bibi could rape a 3yo on TV and Amsalem, Regev and the talkbackers would be singing his praises on every possible stage. Rationalisation is this wonderful process that wipes out all critical thought and whitewashes all sins. It is particularly pervasive in Arab society and we are copying them.....not exactly a recipe for success.
12. joke- the election is in 2019 anyway
David ,   NY   (12.26.18)
This articles is a joke, the election is in 2019 no issue if it is April or October, what is the difference, you have been tired writing ugly article with high level of stupidity
13. Left wanted elections until Bibi agreed to have them...
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.27.18)
It seems like one of the main qualifications to be a Jewish leftist is to have a global lobotomy. A few months ago, leftists like Kadmon, were practically BEGGING for elections. Now Bibi agrees to have them, and polls show Bibi winning easily. The left no longer wants elections.
