1. Israel doesnt need Ganz group.

2. No existential threat to Israel?
Renovant   (04.15.19)
That means you know all about any threats imminent (looming?) in the Peace Plan of the Century. Fake news asshat!
3. Absolutely no point to it. If that's what we need, then we
(04.15.19)
could've saved huge sums of money by skipping over the elections. For years now!
What an inane suggestion to begin with.
Losers suddenly craving power by other means?!
4. Religious dominance!
Rephael Rechitzky ,   Toronto   (04.15.19)
It will allow to get rid of the religious dominance once and for all. The fanatics are running the country. 15% tell the rest how to live their lives. This is the Jewish Iran.
It will open to opportunity to reconcile with the diaspora, mostly conservatives and reforms. They are important to us.
It will improve relations with the Israeli Arabs and will make Israel more accepted in the world. I think all the above is enough, but I could add more.
5. A miserable excuse for disastrous left to sneak into power
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.15.19)
A national unity government would be an absolute betrayal of the vast majority of Israelis who voted for a patriotic rightist government. It is simply a miserable excuse for the disastrous left to sneak into power and inflict another evil Oslo, and other sick abominations on Israel. NO UNITY GOVERNMENT!
6. It means the Haredim who reject the state don't control it.
Sam ,   Montreal   (04.15.19)
It means the Haredim can't extort money for themselves or have their own laws for the military. It means the majority of secular and modern orthodox zionist Jews take back control of the state rather than being at the mercy of people who reject the state.
7. Yaalon would come with his party for defense ministry
Mordechai   (04.16.19)
Yaalon would love to replace Lieberman as Defense minister. If he's offered the job he will bolt Blue and White
8. I can not believe it
larry ,   LA (formally)   (04.16.19)
I can not believe it but I actually agree with Plocker on this. I also don't want a unity government.

I think B&W will be most useful sleeping in somber opposition and flushing toilets in the Knesset.....
9. Haredim say repeat elections if don't get their way on draft
Sam ,   Montreal   (04.16.19)
Haredim say they will go to elections repeatedly if they don't get their way on the draft law. So, they are assuming they will always be needed as a coalition partner. They believe they have the Zionist parties by the throat.
10. The idea of a national unity gov't is to stop the
Shachar ,   Eilat   (04.17.19)
continued rape of the national coffers by the Haredim and settlers. Half of the Blue and White party were Likud members anyway, there is no difference in personel or (lack of) direction. But Bibi is only concerned about the upcoming trial....the coffers can be raped, the country can go down the drain but just maybe he can glue his butt to the same chair for a little longer.
11. WE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE IRANIAN MULLAHS WHILE WE GOT OUR
Iranian Jew ,   LALA LAND   (09.19.19)
Very own ones. Haredim are basically hostage takers of the state just like the mullahs in Iran. We can’t trust them to run the country, but we can’t just ignore them either. BB needs their corrupted support and vice versa. They need to realize that in order for Israel to progress as a country, they need to stop dictating their agendas.
