4. Unacceptable lack of gratitude!!!!!
Avram Goldsmith ,   Toronto -Kiriat Gat   (04.15.19)
Abba Evan biggest diplomat of Israel was cut off by incompetents and political nepotism during Marach reign ( aka Labor and its generic format Blue and White), Bibi doesn't have no diplomat partner in Israel gov. which is able to advance Israel interest ( position required complex qualities and knowledge to take action on multiple fronts), the fact is that need PASSION , PERSEVERANCE AND CONTINUATION and above of all charisma and eloquence, do you somebody else might do it??????Only Aba Eban had the diplomatic language and credential to do it, and have being change to Education Minister as take it or live ultimatum !
Shame of not to be gratitude to diplomatic achievements of Bibi!!!!

relegate foreign policy to the classroom, right where it should be. "State Departments," "Foreign Ministries," and the like are populated by a sort of parasitic policy wonks who are best left to the public benefit roles as they have little utility in a modern economy. So in a word, yes. Here's to the rise of the multi-faceted, multi-tasking, Alpha male head of state. Send the diplomatic urchins back to the classroom and let the rest of us keep are wages from taxes and go about our way. Thank you.
6. The Overseas Ministry
Gavriel Rechov ,   Swingate, Kent UK   (04.15.19)
Everyone knows what the MFA is, ie, the friendly and funny tail of a disputed state that daily apologizes to everyone for existing. A government department that lacks economic and programmatic resources, with scarce and poorly paid staff that, in addition to consular duties, with obsolete moral sermons, follows begging to the goodwill of nations so that Israel doesn't have more problems than it already has.

But few, if any, have a slight suspicion of what the MFA is not.

Nothing more and nothing less than the super-Ministry that, by coordinating the rest of the ministries, except MD and MI, and in close cooperation with the United States, will offer real hopes of well-being and prosperity to the many peoples who still suffer in silence the lack of an identity of their own, as well as the many others who are starving.

The ministry that will satisfactorily and definitively resolve the relocation of the Arabs residing in Israel, Yehudah, Shomron and Gaza.

The ministry that, finally, will resolutely dare to politically and economically challenge the EU and the UN.
7. Why replace Ambassador Extraordinaire with some bumbling
