1. yemini the duplicitous
Eliyahu   (07.20.19)
yemeni would be the first to advocate for a woman to exploit herself in a strip club and yet he writes trash like this,

"After all, he is the embodiment of the saying "people in glass houses should not throw stones." He's opening his mouth? The kid who spent time in strip clubs? Really?"

And he get paid for this duplicity.
2. Yair flappy-lips Netanyahu needs to shut it
Talula ,   Tel Aviv   (07.20.19)
He is an arrogant little snot who is hated by most of the country. He needs to stop living off the bank of mummy and daddy aka the State. And go get a job. Stupid jerk.

TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (07.20.19)
4. BARAK
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (07.20.19)
Ehud Barak is fortunate, he has had ,or enjoyed ,a distinguished military career and is a highly decorated soldier, something nobody can ever take away from him,but as a politician Barak is an unmitigated disaster who could only damage Israel ,G-d forbid. He needs to retire ,get a hobby and go play golf and thereby do his country a huge favour.
5. Barak is not cut out for politics
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED HONESTY   (07.20.19)
Barak should find a new interest or hobby ,as politics clearly does not suit him and he does not have what it takes to be an effective leader.
6. Such contrived& dishonest article. First: "social media"
(07.20.19)
are The King. This is what decides today's agenda and people's fate.
Tabloids are irrelevant.
Comparing the conduct of one of Israel's best PMs to that of the worst (Barak, if anyone's not clear on THAT!) is not fair, especially when the author actually drags his SON into equation.
Fortunately for the dog, Luna is dead now, otherwise poor pooch would've been dragged into this as well (AGAIN!)
For the Bibi- Deranged Syndrome- sufferers, there's no topic or peripheral body, be that a man or a beast, that is irrelevant to the mady they exhibit and live daily....
Oy Vey!
7. alan dershowitz is bibis lawyer?
(07.20.19)
and is also suspected of relations with a minor,,,,but he quoted. i never took my underpants off.
8. "And there lies the rub" - Shakespeare
barbara ,   Haifa   (07.20.19)
Maybe I'm hard of hearing or not understanding the Hebrew - but what I do understand is that not one candidate is giving any of their own ideas how to keep peace within the country and surrounding the country. All they do is verbally attack each other. I want to hear their plans for the future.
9. Mr. Barak forget your differences form a unity government
lal ram ,   Wolverhampton, UK   (07.20.19)
Dear. Barak form a unity government with Bibi. Put aside your differences, for the sake of the survival of Israel and future of Israel. Israel's enemies are laughing because of this issue. If you don't want to do this, step back, stop your bickering. You had a distinguished military career, you are not out to be a PM. Therefore enjoy life, develop other interests.
10. Ben Dror Yemini is Right Wing odd days and Left Wing even da
Expert   (07.21.19)
Funny that the entire time Netanyahu was embroiled in scandals, we never heard it was a distraction from real issues. Suddenly when Ehud Barak gets caught in a scandal, it becomes a distraction for voters.
11. Ads everywhere of barak inciting against bibi
(07.21.19)
12. anything to say.
hoser ,   tel aviv   (07.21.19)
"it's not as if Barak has nothing to say about Gaza"....
Barak has lots to say about everything...
The problem is that it is mostly self-serving drivel.
He accomplished nothing of any value - lasting or otherwise for the state.
He is of questionable character and moral conduct.
He was a bad prime minister and there is no evidence that anything has changed.
