Calling all eligible voters: Don't be dazzled by the government's propaganda, which tells us how good we have it and how strong we are.

In a Faustian bargain, Kadima's Shaul Mofaz sold his soul in exchange for a few months in power.

Shaul Mofaz is no great ideologue, he lacks charisma and has made no important statements or brilliant comments during his time in politics - yet he still deserves a grace period.

An attack on insane Iran is out of our league and could prove a tragedy for generations to come.

The Haredi minority aspires to force its beliefs on the majority, and then there’s a tiny minority that aspires to force Greater Israel on the majority, whatever the cost.

Where in the world nowadays is there any protest in which they don’t accuse Israel of some sin and burn its flags

Maybe we overdid it with the attack on the Mavi Marmara; but sending a ship with thugs to breach the closure of Gaza was in itself an act of piracy.

The bitter experience of the failed attempt in 1994 to free captive soldier Nachshon Wachsman continues to haunt us. Human life remains sacred to us – wouldn’t it be best to stay patient and get back Gilad Shalit alive?

The moment the country digests that without permanent borders it is not sustainable, the time will come to talk to its computer.

In appointing Yoav Galant the new IDF chief of staff, Barak, who thinks God chose him to rule, both failed and caused Netanyahu to fail, and now he has to go.

It’s more important for Israel to focus on accelerated negotiations with the Palestinians than to play the hero against Iran.

Ehud Barak is slowly but surely disappearing into oblivion.

In a country established on the principle of integrating Jews from all over the world, the ultra-Orthodox have become a leading force behind racism and division in Israeli society.

Even if every action is justified, our policy – what can't be solved by force should be solved by more force – is not acceptable to America and the European Union.

On executive secretaries, the settlement freeze and terror attack drills.

IDF: No plans for lightning evacuation; rightist MKs warn of civil strife over outpost evacuation.

Army had reportedly drafted plan and begun preparations to evacuate 23 illegal outposts in one day.

The continuation of the Yigal Amir dynasty was planned in cold blood. And it's probably not the end either: They'll be hopping into bed again.

Israelis love mini-kebabs. The trouble is that these supposedly dietetic little nuggets have a way of causing stomach upsets.
