On September 17, Tzipora "Tzipi" Livni was elected to head Israel’s ruling Kadima Party, succeeding Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Olmert resigned as party leader after an official investigative ccommission accused him of "serious failure in exercising judgment, responsibility and prudence" during Israel’s war with Hezbollah in 2006.
If Livni is able to establish a ruling coalition in the Knesset within 42 days… the deadline being October 29, just six days before the U.S. elections… she will become Israel’s first female prime minister since Golda Meir led Israel from March 1969 until June 1974.
What is significant from the American perspective is that Livni’s resume very much resembles that of Governor Sarah Palin. At 50, she is just six years older than Palin. However, while Palin has served sixteen years in public office, Livni has served just nine years. Livni also served from 1976 to 1979 as a lieutenant in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and later worked for the Israeli Mossad, stationed in Paris. In 1983, she returned to Israel and enrolled at Bar Ilan University. After completing her legal studies she worked in private practice for ten years. She is married to an accountant, Naftali Spitzer, and has two children, Omri and Yuval.

I don’t care if they hit them in October or September or June, but they need to HIT EM’ while there is still an Israel left!
but unlike Tzipi, Sarah is a conservative who won’t give away her country
I agree!
She is from Olmert's party who want to give away a lot of Israel and divide Jerusalem...[No sure God is onboard with that]
Why should she be any different if Kadima is of that mindset?
I think that no real action will be done regarding reuniting Israel and keeping Jerusalem in Israel's control until B.B. Netanyahu is elected...if he is elected. He would probably take on the Iran problem where others would try and appease Iran.
Don’t worry, God will take care of Iran, all in due time.
