1. Why would anyone waste vote on yet another Feel-good-Party
(02.01.19)
is beyond me.
It's either HARD Left or HARD Right!
All that dribble about "middle" is for prepubescent kiddies....
2. Telling people what they want to hear even if contradictory.
Sam ,   Montreal   (02.01.19)
The press and people have to pin him down on the issues.
3. another ex-general with big promises. they never come!!!
OLEG ,   florida   (02.01.19)
4. Benny you convinced me
Me   (02.01.19)
Your policies sound reasonable. There is one more thing; You see here in diaspora when gentiles point at me the jew, it is always associated with "rich and clever". In Israel I am pointed at as second class citizen, "frank, monkey, primitive and arab jew. I have never been one of those, so I made a U turn upon arrival. Is this going to change any time soon?
5. galant and gantz
joe   (02.01.19)
galant says gantz will say nothing because he has nothing in his record to say.

i followed the gaza war close. gantz was relatively passive, not initiating attacks, going into gaza only at the end in a limited way.bennett had to force the tunnel issue while bibi was asleep and yaalon was criticizing bennett for invading his turf. likewise, gantz was not decisive in west bank command.

he is not the general i would hire for war with nasrollah and iran which is coming. galant would be far better. and security is not a photogenic tall blue eyed general. security is a blood and guts general who will oversee a severe blitz of nasrolland along with a massive wipeout invasion no holds barred with the press removed to safe locations. jews will not want to repeat 'losing' as in the past.

saying there is an ill wind blowing across israel is not clear policy. if you want another gaza outcome as in the last, vote for gantz. if you want rockets flying into ben gurion airport, vote for gantz

if you want israel not to target hezbollah arms shipments, vote for gantz.

now as for bibi, yes, he is a whiner and crybaby in his attacks on mandlebiilt. he is also gun-shy when it comes to major military actions. but he was correct that the iran deal was a bad deal.

he will be indicted and is going down. Bennett is his natural successor. so vote for likud anyways. i would rather have barkat, saar, bennett, katz, shaked running Israel than say gantz and his team of osloists. yaalon had potential but he is too nervous and not an original planner and doer in my judgement.

6. Once the Center unites, nothing can stop them.
Michael ,   California, USA   (02.04.19)
Finally, Israel will have a government without the pisher parties in a coalition. Absorb the moderate elements from Right and Left within the Center and go united for the winning vote count.
7. Looking towards a credible future
Sarah ,   Ashkelon   (02.04.19)
Until now, Gantz behaves as a tall, blue-eyed, common man, with an elusive speech devoid of ideas and verbal wit, almost as taciturn as a sphinx looking at the horizon.

The chiefs of the Gantz campaign believe that the Israelis are as stupid as the Gentiles, that only need to see some interesting photos with a cute slogan to choose their PM.

We, the Jewish people, a glistening beacon of intelligence for the nations, need answers and commitments for the many unresolved and neglected problems left by Netanyahu, such as the following:

* Two states for two peoples, or one state for two peoples, or what?
* A clear definition of the legal status of Yehudah and Shomron under his watch.
* How many housing units will be built in Yehudah and Shomron in the next four years?
* What will happen to Khan al-Ahmar and E-1?
* A clear statement about the current actual state of preparedness of Israel's ground forces against Gaza, Lebanon and Syria, in the event of a war of attrition.
* What will Israel's foreign policy be with the many pro-Palestinian (an anti-Semitic euphemism) European countries?
* Will the magnificent and revolutionary Rachel Azariah Law be approved or definitely forgotten?
* Will the port of Haifa be controlled by China?

These questions are valid for any other candidate, except for Netanyahu, a lost case of vain and endless verbal incontinence. He will say what he knows the people want to listen and then he will nothing, absolutely nothing, except to follow speaking.
