    ...the last time. (He probably posted here too, saying
    exactly the same thing.) For all our sakes, I hope the polls
    are more reliable this time.

    srael's Barak Wins With 57 Pct - Exit Polls
    JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Labor Party leader Ehud Barak won
    Israel's election Monday by a landslide of at least 57
    percent of the vote, according to exit polls by Channel Two
    television and Channel One television released after polling
    stations closed.
    Opinion polls had forecast Barak, a former army chief, would
    easily defeat right-wing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
    after a campaign that focused largely on character.
    Barak's campaign headquarters in Tel Aviv erupted in cheers
    after Channel Two's exit poll projected he would win 57
    percent of the vote to 43 percent for Netanyahu.
    Channel One's poll also projected a Barak victory. ``A
    dramatic turnabout, a landslide victory for Ehud Barak --
    58.5 percent to 41.5 percent for Benjamin Netanyahu,''
    veteran news reader Haim Yavin said.
    Channel One's exit poll showed Barak's Labor-led One Israel
    bloc taking 33 seats in the 120-seat parliament compared
    with Netanyahu's Likud's 18. Final unofficial results were
    not expected for up to another 10 hours.

  9. Peace we hope Added by: Eran

    It is sad to note, according to a phone call from Israel
    this morig, that riot police were kept busy, religious Jew
    against secular Jew.

    in ashkelon.
    Is this the real way????????
    Jew against Jew, how horrid



  10. Jew against Jew? Added by: Bryce
    [Timestamp: Tue 18 May, 13:20 Tasmanian Standard Time]

    to paraphrase Luke Lin "yes there is a God!!!!"



  11. #9, why horrid? Added by: Mahdi
    [Timestamp: Wed 19 May, 2:46 Tasmanian Standard Time]

    Why is Jew against Jew worse than jew against Arab? Judaism
    is just a religion, it is not a monolithic cult. There are
    good Jews and bad Jews just like in any other group, and it
    is the duty of the good Jews to be against the bad Jews, no?
    I know there is some rule about Jews should not kill Jews,
    much talked about after Netanyahu's people killed Rabin, but
    this sounds racist to me (it suggests that it is okay to
    kill Arabs and other goyim...)



  12. Commandments Added by: Eran
    [Timestamp: Wed 19 May, 9:42 Tasmanian Standard Time]

    Say thou shalt not kill
    With no exceptions
    All I meant was, that with all the external problems Israel
    has faced over the years, the internal problem of jew
    against jew overshadowed everything.



  13. the peace train will move Added by: amos
    [Timestamp: Wed 19 May, 9:45 Tasmanian Standard Time]

    Here we are,waking to a new and bright reality.
    The peace train,being stuck for 3 years,is about to be
    moving again,and it will sure take us all ,jews and arabs,
    to a better life,as we deserve.



  14. interpretation of Eran Added by: Liam
    [Timestamp: Wed 19 May, 10:03 Tasmanian Standard Time]

    I think what Eran was trying to say is that any nation
    splitting is a bad thing. Civil wars are the most damaging
    thing to a nation because in a conventional war the nation
    unites against a common enemy and a civil crisis would rip
    apart a nation that has existed for so long, in this case,
    roughly four thousand years, give or take.
    I also think that because of all the tragedies Jews have
    been through in the last four thousand years, splitting up
    because of internal differences would acomplish something
    that our enemies could never do - to conquer us. The Jews
    should be united especially considering what has happened
    this century alone all over the world to them. They need
    one another because the rest of the world hates them.



  15. Unity is a good thing... Added by: Israeli
    [Timestamp: Wed 19 May, 11:32 Tasmanian Standard Time]

    ....only if we agree with you, right?



  16. Well, well, well Added by: Hafez al-Asad

    So do I get the Golan back then ???



  17. hi there Added by: Ehud
    [Timestamp: Fri 21 May, 0:54 Tasmanian Standard Time]

    Sorry to hear about your prostate. I guess you're going to
    die, huh, and like Yasser, you want to leave something
    behind. Of course, we worry about whether any agreement with
    you is worth the paper it's written on once you kick the
    bucket; your son isn't going to be able to hold on for more
    than about five minutes or so. The descendants of those
    people from Hama you butchered are waiting, waiting.
    .
    But hey, we're not too worried; you know, we tend to forget
    this, but we can pulverize Damascus if necessary, so why
    should we always run scared? You can have the Golan back,
    but we still get the water. Deal?
