1. Will the US "locked and loaded" impact the elections?
Mladen Andrijasevic ,   Beer Sheva   (09.16.19)
With the US "locked and loaded" to attack Iran, will Israelis opt for the inexperienced Blue and White tomorrow?
2. They want Israel to pick the weakest
Joy Lee ,   Oz   (09.16.19)
Of course they want the weakest one, the sucker they can lead around by the nose.
3. The Arab world and Israel
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn Holland   (09.16.19)
The Arab countries can learn something about democracy from Israel and how to govern a country. How to respect their own people(s). Any country has it"s own form of democracy.
4. media, gantz and bibi
jerry   (09.16.19)
media is mostly desperate to boot bibi out of office. they will stoop to pick anyone to replace him. gantz, a nice man who was a flop in the gaza war, confirmed in part by bennett, likud security cabinet member/s, lieberman, shapira and those of us who followed the war. bibi was a flop to in that he himself seems to have no idea on what to do militarily.He sat there like a dead duck at cabinet meeting. he is not far from olmert in his ignorance of the attack..Note on iran, and gaza, he says he wanted to unleash the idf but idf and now mandlebilt blocked him. and if you ask him what the plan was, he says.. give them a blow. what the hell does that mean? Only an ignoramus would define a plan in that way. bibi has no idea on what to do.

you don't start a war because rockets interrupt your speech in the south-you schmuck. you plan a war when you are cool, plan it well and in the case of hamas, a brutal softening up with invasion from 3 directions, and air. the element of surprise is key.You capture and or remove the top leadership, wipe out arsenals, retake expanded philadelphi route, appoint local merchants to administer the protectorate.

again, you don't trigger a war because rockets interrupt your speech.bibi should be nowhere near any security portfolio.

On the other hand, gantz who allegedly said tunnels are not a problem, doesn't want to trigger any war as we have seen-gaza, iran. in fact he along with lapid want to give key ridges over to hamas via plo..

so there is no one to choose among the two. one is a military ignoramus paralyzed by indecision and fright. the other acts like a retired general who wants no part of fighting.

vote for bennett and shaked. don't waste you time on bibi or gantz..
5. Arab world watch and learn democracy in action

6. Arab world can continue to look at Israeli elections
lal ram ,   Wolverhampton, UK   (09.17.19)
Arab world can continue to look at Israeli elections with envy. They have deep hatred for the Jewish people, whoever wins never forget this. I hope Bibi wins with a majority. The Arabs are no friend of Israel. Shalom Shabbat.
7. Israel’s enemies rejoice our friends shocked bewildered
TheFickleIsraeliVotr ,   Jerusalem   (09.21.19)
By our irrational behavior and the deranged hate being exhibited by Israeli Jews as well as the apathy of so many Israelis who stayed home add to this the anti religious rhetoric is deeply affecting the support of the hundreds of millions of Evangelical supporters of Israel estimated at 700million -1 billion people no doubt President Trump sees all this as as personal as do I’m sure most Republican politicians who se Ganz support reflecting anti religion..how long before we lose this existential Support however our enemies are happy and rejoice..stupid Israeli voters
