to shout vitriolic absurdities.

The MKs are dividing the country. The people are powerless as proportional representation equals no representation.

The Israeli model of proportional representation is fundamentally flawed.

Israel needs to move a regional representation of government such as is common in the British Commonwealth of nations.

Now is the time for a real change - and it will happen!

It's lieberman who should take a hard look at himself. This is the worst possible time to play "integrity" which is especially lame considering how sorely he lacked it when it was really needed. And he knows very well what he's risking for the whole country so I suspect him of ulterior motives: collaborating with the gantz-lapid duo behind everyone's back as a mere power game.

Why was the autistic boy beaten? you didnt hear the plainclothes police womans answer? "he touched me!" YES! it is because of his sidelocks! and its because of hatred created by the Chareidim "boycotting" the glassworks?Observant Jews cannot make use of products that were produced on shabbat. Possiblities of avoiding chilul shabbat WERE presented to the management, who wouldnt listen, but why let facts affect the realty? Better to incite hatred aginst the chareidim, Hey, its in fashion! Yair Lapid, LYING and saying that kollel students receive 7800NIS a month is not incitement? ( and by the way, even Lapid, as the father of an autistic child condemned the incident mentioned) triggering rage and fear? lets call a spade a spade!

If Haredim elitist and racist cultism doesn't show on your radar then you're not plugged in (to reality).

Immiscible with the larger society, self-righteous, entitled, uncompromising, alien - take your pick. It's all for them, all about them. Daven till they die, welfare for them all, no military risk, scads of offspring, aggressive and invasive. Did they expect all the rest of society to put up with that forever? Netanyahu sold his soul to them and this is the result.

Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. Conflict and cooperation are our constant companion and commentary on the human condition. Get a house in the mountains, a good food & water supply and plan on waiting it out. Pray nobody looses the nukes and some of us will come out on the other side of this mess in fine form.

JEWS NEVER EVER AGREE WITH EACH OTHER. THEY ALWAYS UNDERMINE AND ENJOY HURTING EACH OTHER. IT IS A REPEATING HISTORY OF 3500 PLUS YEARS.SOONER OR LATER JEWS WILL DESTROY EACH OTHER.IT WILL HAPPEN IN MY LIFE TIME.SORRY FOR SUCH NEGATIVE COMMENTS.

All for personal gain.

By far the most sensible article written on this website for the past decade.

there are subversive elements in all parts of the political spectrum.

the haredim feel superior and as a result they feel threatened.

the secular feel taken advantage of and as a result are enraged.

israel cannot allow herself to be divided between shtetls and
kibbutzim, the poor and the wealthy.

the jews in israel are becoming as threatened within the state as
the diaspora jews are threatened in western countries.

jews everywhere need to remember that they were cruelly slaughtered
in europe while expelled from all muslim lands.

We don't have societal divisions because of politicians being aggressive or belligerent. We don't have societal divisions because of social media. We have societal divisions and animosity because we're stuck paying for the Hareidim, who sit and do nothing. We're sick of it! Let them be as religious as they want, but they don't have to take my money to do it!

To those who don't like to play by the Prime Minister's rules, now you know that you're considered leftists. Are only the leftists responsible for all this mess? I've never been a leftist and I'm against the immunity law because all the citizens regardless their religion or political orientation ,are equal before the law. I'm against those who impose their criteria upon my logical thinking and I support a government that respects my rights even when I don't belong in a privileged sector.

Remember we do not have a Democracy but a Republic! With too many people, you have to have representatives. In Israel there are more than secular (atheist) and orthodox-which are not running the entire government!

I believe that Bib called the early election and he made a mistake in forming government. But of cause, Bibi is never responsible for his failures. He is a king right ?

New elections are expensive but worth it. Israel can't function with a government that can be taken down by any of it's members for any reason. The last election also cost the patriotic right six MKs, who should rightly have been elected. Hopefully, they will all be elected in September. Israel needs them.
