Israeli Defense Policy
Okay, so we'll have to pay "a difficult price". But the "difficult price" that Ehud Barak wants us to pay is the undermining of Israel's legal system by releasing convicts as a political act. It's a price that nobody talks about, but it eats away at our rule of law, our morale, and the social contract that binds us together as a nation.What we need is a return to the Israel of the Six-Day War and Entebbe. We need leadership that offers creative, brave, intelligent answers and strategies. Israel needs leadership that is smarter than what we've got.
Do you think we'll get it?

Unfortunately there is nothing good on the horizon.
They are all the same as what we already have.
No. Even if Livni will win the primaries and in new elections will be PM she will follow the same route. maybe not. but nobody is really a good candidate for this job. too bad.
lets put our trust in G-D that he will take care of his people if their government cant...
The two previous comments are exactly right - we have NO ONE in government now or on deck, it seems, who has the will power nor, in my old Southern lingo, the gumption to do what is needed.
The first Israeli commonwealth (Temple) was destroyed because of idolotry. The second Israeli commonwealth (Temple) was destroyed because of "baseless hatred". In the third Israeli commonwealth (without a Temple building but with self-created little "temples" all over the place), we have both idolotry & baseless hatred - both of which are found throughout the offices of the Knesset and throughout the citizenry of the country. No wonder we keep electing crooks and thieves to run the country (into the ground).
What will save us? Only G-d, but only IF we will follow the instructions set down in 2Chronicles 7:14... though most people don't have the desire to follow that very simple advice.
"לתפוס ת'אמריקה" Does anyone remember this? Back in 1980s Israel, it meant 'to capture [the essence of] America, for oneself'. And most of us who tried, succeeded; but only in the most superficial and shallow of ways: materialism.
VCRs and cable-TV... "Dallas", "Dynasty", and "MTV". Is it any wonder that we arrived at where we are today? In the same boat (candidate-wise) as the USA?
In retrospect, it was Gidi Gov who got it right, when he sang "נאחז באוויר".
Where have all our heros gone is the title of an America song. We need to release it in Hebrew.
comment to Mort K. comment,
" Where have all our heros gone" Lets not give Israel a hard time here! As myself from the US I can ask the same question! It seems global, but God has not forgotten her (Israel) but will he leave the U.S.! So pray for Israel and while your at it pray for maybe the late great US of A!
Unfortunately, not only does Israel appear to lack decisive, creative leadership, we are living in very different times. Even if Israel was to execute a brilliant and daring rescue with little or no loss of life, it would still be criticized. If there's a song that's relevant here, it's Bob Dylan's "Neighborhood Bully", written when Israel faced a storm for depriving Saddam Hussein of nuclear capabilities in the early 1980s. It doesn't matter what provocation Israel, permanently branded "the neighbourhood bully" faces, "it's supposed to feel bad".

Believe me Israel will have a third temple. As i wrote before, that the person who will sign the 7year peace treaty that permits Israel to have a third temple IS NOT YOUR MESSIAH. Precisely 7 years after the signing of that treaty that permits the 3rd temple, will be when the Lord will reward the good with heaven and destroy the evil in hell. And those traitors who rule Israel will pay with hell along with those who wage war against Israel. As the Bible says, those in hell shall never ever have one drop of water to cool their throats as they burn in the flames that will burn forever and ever. Thus the Lord will destroy those who are Israel's enemies and those Israeli's who have treasonous schemes that prove detrimental to Israel.
GOD BLESS ISRAEL.
GOD KEEP THE USA AS ISREAL'S ALLY
GOD ELIMINATE MURDER OF BABY'S IN UTERO IN THE UNITED STATES

I beg to differ. The times, sir/madam are not the problem, men lacking courage and heart are the problem. Great men surmount the times and do what is necessary. It is obvious what is missing and different, then.
EXACTLY!
When i said the therw will be a 3rd temple in Jerusalem, and hte individual who makes the 7 year peace treaty so Israel can have its Temple, it says three and a half years after the signing of the treaty the temple will be desecrated by the individual i am writing about. This is in Daniel chapter 9. Thats when that individual i am talking about will declare himself to be god, thus proving he is not hte Messiah. SO BE CAREFUL MY FRIENDS - ABOUT THE MAN WHO MAKES THE THIRD TEMPLE POSSIBLE - HE IS WORSE THAN hitler.
The book of Daniel is propehcy about what will happen to Israel as decided by the GOD OF ABRAHAM ISAAC AND JACOB. i will write more about what Daniel says as time goes on.
GOD SAVE ISRAEL
GOD STOP AMERICA FROM MURDER OF BABIES IN UTERO.
GOD KEEP AMERICA ISRAEL'S ALLY
BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD.
since there is time before bed so i can work tommorrow here is more information about this individual who makes hte 3rd Jewish temple possible.
There are 10 nations that once was part of the roman empire, which is still in existence in a deteriorated state, DANIEL CHAPTERS 2 AND 7. these 10 nations is going to be the start of the political power of that individual. of those 10 nations the person i am telling you about will destroy 3 rulers [in the Bible kings] of those 10 nations. and WATCH OUT he comes as a man of peace - which in realtiy is not true.
GOD SAVE ISRAEL
GOD KEEP AMERICA ISRAEL'S ALLY
BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD
bones, remember that this is still a democracy. We, the people, have to wisen up to get better leaders.
I'm horrified that nobody's reminding the public of the horredous Arab terrorism and loss of Israeli lives when Ehud Barak was Prime Minister. It took a long time for things to calm down.
Oh Batya, Batya, Batya
You are wrong if you think Israel is a Democracy. It is supposed to be. But you do not vote for a party, you vote for the leader of that party and how many votes he can bring in. That is the way it has been for decades and as a result we have the anti-votes.
Bibi was voted in because people did not want Peres; Barak was voted in because people realized how Bibi nearly ruined Israel; Sharon was voted in because Barak nearly ruined Israel.
Shinui got many votes because people saw that there was no one really to vote for. The Pensioners party got many votes for the same reason.
The coming elections it will probably be the Greens party orf even Green Leaf.
"Israel needs smarter leadership" says Bones.
I say 99.5% of Israeli "leaders" are dumber than a one celled mule. Israel is a mediocracy. It's a miracle the country hasn't collapsed, as Ahmadinenutjob says.
Catmoves:
You have to be kidding. Israel may have always had to deal with hostile Arabs and their patrons, but to the best of my recollection, Israeli leaders of the last century never had to deal with the demoralizing influences of Jews4Justice4Palestine, the PSM/ISM or other aiders and abettors and apologists for terror.
Good job on Barack's face!
Your comment about the Six-Day War and Entebbe is exactly what I was thinking. It was a good thing to seek peace with our neighbors, but I am now not sure whether it was worth the price, considering that maybe our neighbors weren't honest about the peace in the first place.
I think a lot about Israel has to change, and maybe Netanyahu in his second term may do things differently. We definitely need a change in the leadership that is there now.
what made you change style on baraks face?
