1. Netanyahu seems tone deaf
Jake ,   Dallas   (09.21.19)
He couldn’t pick up how much anger there was against the Haredi, can’t understand that his “offer” to Gantz looks like a transparent campaign move and not anything serious, cant see how much he underestimated Lieberman. He’s done a lot of good things but like all politicians, when you are in for too long, you get out of touch. He’s reached that point. The only question is how soon does the Likud revolt?
2. i remember Lapid being touted as "Right", same goes (so it
(09.21.19)
seems) for Liberman.
He's supposedly a rightist, but in reality wants to form a left-"center" (no such animal as "center") govt.
Seriously people?!
All this to enlist some unwilling haredi guys to our army?
He has bigger dreams and is willing to make us PAY for this!

Lieberman is the only on who stands on principal and can be trusted
4. Hebrew Saying
Boaz   (09.21.19)
Va'yakum Hamelafefon Va'yarbitz la'ganan. ( and the cucumber rose to beat the Gardner)
We brought to Israel hundreds of thousands from the Soviet Union that their only connection to judaism was purely coincidental. They rose and turned us to a goy country. The only place in the world where pious jews can feel jews, only goyim would prevent them. Israel should start excommunicating fake jews.
5. What if joint list recommend Gants
Ezekial Haim ,   LONDON   (09.21.19)
What will Liberman do then?
6. Israel NEVER had PM as Powerful as Bibi. Liberman is EMPTY..
TheWall   (09.22.19)
I see in Liberman an empty of substance person, who is not able to do what Bibi can do.
Liberman's "promises" are just for brainwashing purposes, and ALL of them are LIES.
Gantz needs to become a politician first, after that he can be a PM.
7. So Lieberman or orchestrated all this for his personal power
David ,   New york   (09.22.19)
Both the April and September elections were because he wanted more power.
Good luck now: you can make a coalition with the Arabs
8. Lieberman=megalomaniac
C   (09.22.19)
lieberman thinks that he can be prime minister with nine mandates, less than
ten percent of total mandates.
the haredim together have twenty four mandates, twenty percent of total
mandates.
whatever their faults, the haredim cannot be ignored.
the secular have more wealth, but the haredim have more children.
ultimately, it is the haredim who sacrificed their lives to keep judaism
alive. the secular assimilate and intermarry at an alarming rate.

lieberman should not be part of any israeli zionist government.
he has caused too much damage to the state.

the present situation in israel is extremely difficult. the haredim need
to learn to compromise or else they will lose all power. they cannot
expect the rest of israel to defend them while they pretend that
they study talmud torah. they cannot spit on young girls for the
simple act of having shorter skirts or sleeves. they cannot deny
the legitimacy of the jewish state.
however, lieberman is not a jewish patriot. he wants to have a
state that is not jewish, but jewish only in name.
he has stabbed in the back the duly elected prime minister of
israel a number of times. yet without this particular prime minister
of israel, lieberman would be nothing.
9. avigdor- take note
martin   (09.22.19)
it is already starting. gantz who did a lousy job in the gaza war, is now reportedly offering joint list to cancel construction amendment law. this was a law to reduce the thousands of illegal Arab constructions in area c. that means he is prepared to give area c just like that olmert clone lapid who is despised by many i sraelis. so you also want to give area c to abbas?

so gantz wants the power of the pm office and is willing to endanger Israel by reducing its borders. I remind Israelis it depends which general you follow. Some generals have been terrible and had to be fired as they cost Israeli
excessive blood..

going with gantz is a big big big mistake.
10. The personal vendetta of Liberman
tiki ,   belgium   (09.22.19)
In their obsession for the beheading of Netanyahu, the center & ulta left block is willing to put the State of Israel on the chopping block....with the help of the Israel hating Arab block and Palestinian representatives in Israel and orchestrated by the pipe piper from Moldova.

If this is the wish of the Israeli people....let them have it.

Let them undo what Netanyahu & his Likud have build all these years and see the havoc this will bring.

There is a price to be paid for obsessive stupidity so please no complains afterwards.
