1. Good leaders avoid war, great ones wage it when needed! That
(11.11.19)
is the crucial difference between survival of a nation or its undoing.
Presently we do have a good leader.
We're still waiting for a great one.
All this talk of threats here & there is pointless.
2. "...the higher you climb, the clearer the view."
Truth ,   Truthville   (11.11.19)
All I see are enormous egos and incompetent flatulence.

Maybe G-d can help Sderot because Bibi and Bennett obviously can't.
3. Globes stated it correctly

4. GIVE THE MAN A CHANCE
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (11.11.19)
5. MultiFACETED not MultiFACTED .
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (11.11.19)
6. BLIMEY ,GIVE THE GEEZER A CHANCE
COCKNEY GEEZER ,   LONDON INNIT   (11.11.19)
7. Bennett is just another useful idiot for Bibi
Shachar ,   Eilat   (11.11.19)
Bibi will pile the blame on him when the next Gaza op fails to change anything (probably very shortly) and to block any chance of a unity gov't. When these objectives have been achieved Bennett will be discarded.
8. GORDON BENNETT !
COCKNEY GEEZER ,   LONDON INNIT   (11.11.19)
9. Bennett’s biggest challenge
Rick ,   Herzliya   (11.11.19)
What planet is this guy coming from? Most of what he says will be Bennett’s challenges, such as presenting Kochavi’s plan to the cabinet and fighting for a budget, won’t happen until there’s a real government, and if and when that occurs, Bennett won’t be the defense minister. He is just keeping the chair warm so Netanyahu can hold his bloc together. It was even announced that this is only a temporary appointment - does anyone think Bibi trusts Bennett with the keys in an actual cabinet with real authority? Bennett’s greatest challenge is going to be finding something he’s allowed to do.
10. Facts of fairness
Andrew Yony ,   Vauxhall, London   (11.11.19)
I congratulate Yossi Yehoshua for his brief and very fair assessment of the Amir Peretz's mandate.

However, he has omited to comment on the tenure of Liberman, the brave IDF corporal who got the DM portfolio under the promise of killing Haniyeh, which he forgot the next day.

And I think he should have mentioned him, because Lieberman demonstrated all his worth by approving equal rights for the bereaved families of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender soldiers, an endeavor for which he will always be remembered by LGBT groups and organizations.
11. Radical thugs like Benet are enemies within...
TheWall   (11.14.19)
...like those religious zombies Maccabees and Barkochba who initiated the first jewish holocaust and expulsion from "holyland"
12. We need another Ariel Sharon
Bar Star ,   Haifa, Israel   (11.14.19)
and Ben-Gurion to save us. Sharon was a man who during one of retaliatory raids on Jordan blew up houses with the Arabs inside and then said that he did not know that. There was a great outcry in a world but Israel had a peace for a long time. And Ben-Gurion said it's important what we do and not what they say.
13. bibi
Carl ,   israel   (11.14.19)
The Iranians under Bibi are simply obliged to start bombing Israel. Hamas can bomb Israel up to 500 rockets per day with complete impunity .. Why is Iran worse?
Mufti Bibi has been trading in utopia for 12 years making peace with Hamas. All 12 years financially helping Hamas. 12 years "bombing" Gaza - not one killed. For the elections, perhaps he uses the old plan with two goals: 1 Let the soldiers of the Tsahal kill or capture Hamas. To keep alive the leadership of Hamas and shamefully stepping back without achieving any results. Later vote as usual about his Historical Victory .....
To eliminate terrorists, why not enter Gaza.
Shameful "operations" in Gaza - idiotic curtsy of the lost reality Bibi.
Bibi is a full-fledged accomplice of Hamas.
