If you look up the Wikipedia entry on Israel's Acting Prime Minister ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deputy_leaders_of_Israel#Acting_Prime_Minister), it describes it as a post in which one would take power were the PM to be incapacitated. On the same page, it describes Vice Prime Minister as an entirely different post, currently held by one Haim Ramon. I have no knowledge myself, but if that page is accurate, you should undo your reverse and fix the references to Livni as Vice Prime Minister. -Rojo
She is NOT the acting prime minister of Israel! Even if Olmert will resign this Sunday, still he'll be the prime minister of an interim government. 20:09, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, prior to 1964 the Jews were the Palestinians. The KGB gave Arafat the idea to call 'his' Arabs Palestinians.
interesting when two like minded persons try to rewrite history and in doing so don't understand each other: one claims that israelis are the real palestinians, the other denies in his response that there exists something palestinian...ontopic: the fact that she never dissociated from her terroristic parents is an important point to understand livnis background and career. -- Severino ( talk) 18:24, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

British Member of Parliament Sir Gerald Kaufman, who is raised as an Orthodox Jew criticized Tzipi Livni's father Eitan Livni, Irgun and Israeli government harshly, on his 15 Jan 2009 speech at House of Commons.
"The Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni asserts that her Government will have no dealings with Hamas, because they are terrorists. Tzipi Livni's father was Eitan Livni, chief operations officer of the terrorist Irgun Zvai Leumi, who organised the blowing-up of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, in which 91 victims were killed, including four Jews. Israel was born out of Jewish terrorism. Jewish terrorists hanged two British sergeants and booby-trapped their corpses. Jewish terrorists hanged two British sergeants and booby-trapped their corpses. Irgun, together with the terrorist Stern Gang, massacred 254 Palestinians in 1948 in the village of Deir Yassin. Today, the current Israeli Government indicate that they would be willing, in circumstances acceptable to them, to negotiate with the Palestinian President Abbas of Fatah. It is too late for that. They could have negotiated with Fatah's previous leader, Yasser Arafat, who was a friend of mine. Instead, they besieged him in a bunker in Ramallah, where I visited him. Because of the failings of Fatah since Arafat's death, Hamas won the Palestinian election in 2006. Hamas is a deeply nasty organisation, but it was democratically elected, and it is the only game in town. The boycotting of Hamas, including by our Government, has been a culpable error, from which dreadful consequences have followed. [1] [2]"
The statement is directly related to Tzipi Livni, her father, foundation of Israel, the actions of armed gangs that founded it along with Irgun, which the father of Tzipi Livni was a senior commander, along with attitude of current government which Tzipi Livni is an important part of and its political mistakes. So trying to censor this statement is not just wrong, but also acting POV as a Livni fan. You may trim it, but deleting it completely is impossible, since Sir Gerald Kaufman is a leading politician in British Labour Party, where he accomplished being shadow ministers more than once, and with his 30 year political career. Kasaalan ( talk) 09:29, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
So in George W. Bush article, it is clearly stated which political opponents criticized him. Of course George Bush page has a tight length limitation.
Bush was described as having especially close personal relationships with Tony Blair and Vicente Fox, although formal relations were sometimes strained.[300][301][302] Other leaders, such as Afghan president Hamid Karzai,[303] Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni,[304] Spanish prime minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero,[305] and Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez,[306] have openly criticized the president. Later in Bush's presidency, tensions arose between himself and Vladimir Putin, which has led to a cooling of their relationship.[307]
Is that enough proof for you to not delete the criticism of Gerald Kaufman. Longer or shorther, this speech has to be added. Kasaalan ( talk) 15:47, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Tzipi Livni's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
