Who is better Sharon or Netanyau for Israeli interests?

It would be more appropriate to ask who is better for world/middle east peace.  \n\n1. Until they get their act together and stop all their squabbling (this means both Israel and Palestine recognising the other's right to a peaceful existence) it doesn't matter a dam (THAT is the correct spelling) who is in the hot seat.\n2. Until the US stops siding with Israel even when it is in the wrong, there will always be a problem in the M/E.

Ehud Olmert\n\nPrime Minister of Israel as of 14th April 2006, when the declaration that Ariel Sharon was permenantly incapacitated took effect.[1].\n\nThe premiership powers were actually transferred to Olmert on January 4, 2006, after Ariel Sharon suffered a severe hemorrhagic stroke.[1] His party, Kadima, won the most seats in the legislative elections held on March 28, 2006 and Olmert, as Prime Minister-designate, has the first opportunity to attempt to form a coalition government[2].\n\nPreviously, Olmert was the Vice Prime Minister of Israel, the Finance minister, and Minister of Industry, Trade and Labor, as well as the Minister responsible for the Israel Lands Administration. [2] He is the interim Chairman of Ariel Sharon's Kadima party.

David Palmer (Ex President from the TV show 24) or Jack Bauer (From the TV show 24)  I'd vote for either.  Anyone beats the recent clowns that have held office.  Even BOZO.

This question is vague.  Improved, as in has bettered itself the most?  If so, without a doubt, little Israel.  Little tiny Israel is at the front line of technology, protects its own, and is capable of holding off multiple hostile countries with millions more in population surrounding it.  And all since 1947.  It's the only democracy in the region and a superpower; it has nuclear weapons.

The President of Israel is Moshe Katzav. He has held that post since 2000.

Its due to a good Israeli lobby" Not Jewish lobby".\nIsrael is made of many lies:\nIsrael is a racial democracy : there is no constitution , all the land is owned by the state.\nIsrael cost the USA tax-payers 20 billion each year.\nIraq war and next Iran war is the Israeli lobby wars.

He got the right ideas. Will see how he is able to implement.\n\nIf anyone calls him evil, than ALL the Arabs are evil as well. Because he wants a Jewish state for Jews, and guess what, Jordanians want Jordan for Arabs, Egyptians want Egypt for Arabs, Palestinian Arabs want Palestine for Arabs, Lebanese want Lebanon for Arabs, I shouldn't have to tell you about Saudis, should I? Syrians, Iraqis, Yemenis...\nAbout 1 million of Jews were kicked out of Arab countries, and they had no choice but to come to Israel. Now Liberman wants to separate Jews from Arabs in Israel, and I say "POWER TO HIM!"

I didn't hear the entire interview on glenn beck but I was impressed with Netanyahu. I am not Jewish and do not know their past leaders well. But after listening to this guy, I realized that he is a real hero. In fact, all the Jews who live in Israel are heroes. Couldn't imagine a life like that.\nAbout Iran- Yes, I totally agreed with Netanyahu

My vote is for Israel!  They have stood back to long and let these extremist terrorize there country.    They have showed many times over trying to make peace.     Also with comments coming from the Muslims like “We will not stop until Israel is blown of the map!”    \n\nIn my opion it is the same as having 2 dogs that fight all the time.  They both need to let go and show which one is the true leader. \n\nIsrael kept giving into what they want regarding to more land.  Israel bent over backwards tiring to please these extremist.  But they still want more, more, more!  So I think this come back is long over due!

You need to be well informed to answer this old-new question.\nMonica is Jewish that is a fact no one can deny.\nWhy did Monica keep her dress unwashed is a fact no one dare to question.\nWhy did she report the president of USA \nWhy the president was not impeached \nWhy Hillary became senator from New York where Jews live\nClinton wanted to have a lasting Peace in the Middle East but Israel was not ready for lasting peace so some one must stop him by all means and he was stoped step by step where he got his wife elected by Jews in New York\nLook what Sharon said after Monica case:"Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it." -- Ariel Sharon to Shimon Peres, October 3rd, 2001, as reported on Kol Yisrael

Doubtful, the most likely aggressor will be the Isaelis. Since Sharon was incapacitated, they've been more or less leaderless since January of this year. Now that they've taken some action to get a new leader, i'm sure they'll be making some kind of decision. The US response most likely will be in defense of the Israelis. \n\nThe only wild card is Pres. Bush, he doesn't have an election to worry about and probably wants to leave a legacy: "the person who had the courage" to make the decision to stop Iran's quest for a nuclear weapon, even if it meant using a tactical nuke on some of the hardened facilities such as the nuclear enrichment plant at Natanz.\n\nPres. Bush's generals appear to have recommended against a military response, and may resign over the whole issue, if the Commander-in-Chief decides to proceed anyway.\n\nA US attack will lead to fearful consequences, but on the other hand, do we let a megolomaniac get control of a nuclear device? Hard questions to answer.

Do you support Canada's claim to their territory?  When someone comes around with a constructive idea to use land that no one wanted before all of a sudden it is prime real estate.   Supply and demand.   Even if you look past all the legal reasons why Israel is entitled you will see this is all about pride, jealousy and hatred.\nStinky Pinky:\n1. Israel did not invade Palestine, check your history.\n2. Israel gets money from the US for support of the only democracy in the region.We also pay billions to Egypt just so they won't attack israel, how about stoping the money flow there huh?\n3. Arabs opened their doors to the Jews? Where are you getting your history books?  From Ossama? From fairy tale land?

Sheesh......talk about a difficult question!  First of all what do you mean by Palestine?  The Palestinian homeland is Jordan.  You haver to consider what each side wants and what each side fears.  We'll start with Israel.  What Israel wants is a safe and secure Israel, with an internal Jewish majority.  They don't want to have to rely on foreign powers for security...or even aid.  The Israeli policy towards Jerusalem and the occupied territories are all under intense debate as ways to achieve this end.  The real problem that Israel faces is their internal Muslim population outnumbering its jewish population due to higher birth rates.  Their biggest fear is surrendering land for peace....the Government they made a deal with being overthrown...and having attacks launched against them through invasion routes they gave back by new fanatic governments.  You have to remember that Israel came very close to destruction on several occasions....and that the stated goal of Hamas has always been to push jews into the sea.  The Palestineans want a homeland/country.  They are laregely secular/capitalist as a group...and better educated then any other region in the muslim mid-east.  Because of this they are seen as a threat by other nations in the Arab world.  This is why so many Arab nations pay lip service to the Palestinean cause....but do little for them.  In polls most Palestineans supported the peace proccess that Arafat began and then stopped with the Initifadah.  The recent election of Hamas had less to do with Israeli policy then it did with corruption in their security apparatus.  Palestineans fear losing their claim to any part of Jerusalem...which is what they might face with current Israeli policy of a unilateral withdrawl.  The solution has to be something that gives the Palistieans a homeland....while giving Israel secure borders and national security.  I don't know what the answer is....but I kow the current system of anti-semitism that is blared in Arab media sources doesn't help matters.  I also think that if the other Arabic nations budded out (and they have their own agenda which has NOTHING to do with the well being of Palestineans) a solution could be reached.  I think a secure and stable western styled government in a Palestinean homeland would be the only outcome that all sides could be happy with.  The problem is the rest of the Arab world wouldn;t be happy with it.

True for both. Israel cannot be off guard
