I think Israel should choose a man who does not want to start a war, especially with Iran. Demographics alone warrant you to change your views on the Middle East. Israel can no longer afford to invade countries like Lebanon, ’82 & ’06, with impunity. They no longer have that leverage and if Israel can have nuclear leverage and has attacked and invaded so many coutries, Egypt ’56 & ’67, Lebanon ’82 & ’06 then Iran can argue the same. Its time to put down the rhetoric, end the occupation and live in harmony with the Muslims, as was in Spain during the Middle Ages and in Jerusalem, before ’48. It is only when you imposed your yourselves on the local people after ’48 that the Jewish-Muslim issue became a dilemma.

I do hope for a smarter and tougher leader for Isreal. The enemies surrounding Israel have always advocated the death of Israel and its inhabitants[holocaust], while claiming the opposite. It will take a different kind of leader to stay ahead of those that would destroy it.

Regardless of whose next, Israel’s goal remains the same: to exterminate the Palestinians people. It is a Holocaust in installments

Israeli politics is so predictable. The IDF simply want a Prime Minister to prove his ‘manhood’ by allowing them to slaughter more Palestinian civilians and bomb refugee camps. I guess they have a fetish for stuffing their jock strap

So, who’s next?

Israel, please be careful of who steps in, and watch out for Mr. Obama, that’s for sure.
