1. NO to meddling
Brod ,   USA   (10.12.07)
Rice should not be meddling in Israel's internal affairs. Israel is a sovereign nation. Other countries should not be meddling in Israel's internal affairs. Behind all these meddlings, are the latent hands of Islamist-Jihadists and Wahhabhists who lie, deceive, and manipulate America and other countries by badmouthing Israel and extolling their bull crap. It is time for America to reject such craps and manipulations from the ravenous wolves.
2. Condi, explain confiscation of INdian Land
eddie ,   london UK   (10.12.07)
After all, you grabbed a lot of land that didnt belong to you, and killed a lot of native indians in the process. In the other hand, ther ei sno arab land in Israel, since it belongs to the children of Israel. The arabs have grabbed our land, we are trying to take it back.
3. US turning against Israel in favour of the arabs
zionist forever   (10.12.07)
Since Condi became secretary of state the US has become public enemy number 1 for Israel. Thanks to political concesions that verious Israeli leaders have given to the US over the years its not the Israeli voters who have final say on what goes on in Israel its the American politicians. Now Condi who has never been any friend of Israel the US is now giving up its support for Israel politicly in favour of the arabs because this administration wants to be famous for doing something in the Middle East other than Iraq. The solution is take the side of the arabs and then use the political influence to get more concesions out of Israel. This also gives the US a chance to play nice guy and say look guys we dont support Israel unconditionaly we support the arabs these days. Today its concesions for the palestians tommorow it will be preasure to get Israel to give the Golan to Syria. Israel needs to stop looking to the US as its only friend in the world did that with France and England in the 50s and early 60s then Israel did somethinig they didnt like in the form of winning the 6 day war and they turned. The US might be a friend today but we should not have any ilusions that if it was in American interests they would drop Israel overnight and become the best friends of its enemies. Israel needs to start looking to form alliances with the new developing powers like China. Dont forget all about the US but dont put all your eggs into one basket

7. Olmert's Appeasement will cause another War
ralphsrant1 ,   USA   (10.12.07)
Olmert's and the Goverment Appeasement will cause another War. Syria Iran Hamas Hezboullah will misread Israel's resolve and attack Israel. Appeasement causes War not Peace. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com/

12. Let condi keep her incompetent nose out of our business!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.12.07)

13. YNET IN ENGLISH IS CLOSING DOWN
Canadian Otter   (10.12.07)
"Ynet, the news Web site of the Yedioth Ahronoth publishing group, is closing down its English version. The plug will apparently be pulled in a few days. The Hebrew version of the online news source will continue to operate as usual." http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/912080.html SORRY YNET - WE DIDN'T AGREE BUT I'LL MISS YOU. There was a lot of good stuff in your travel, Jewish and opinion sections, and overall it helped me learn about Israel. Thank you Ynet, and also thanks to you talkbackers - I'll miss you all....I learned a lot from your talkbacks and I feel I know you a little already. All the best to you! Maybe some of us can meet again at another website. (Maybe at Israel National News?) Could YNET write an article about your closing down so others can have the chance to say good bye? Although we were for the most part a bunch of right wingers who recoiled at your left-wing slant - some of us really had some fondness for you, Ynet. So to you Ynet staff and talkbackers, good bye and good luck. Canadian Otter Victoria, Canada
14. Rice calls for Israels Right to the Land.??
Roy C. Hudson ,   Pittsburg, USA   (10.12.07)
The GW Bushes Girl, Rice is a wast of time & Money. In a Land that don't respect the Wives & Mothers of their own Muslim Children. all she could do is give the Arabs & PLO what they ask for. Israel should send her Packing back to texas, she is not needed in the white house. She talks in circles & Gw, Flip Flops. I am ashamed of them leading the Pack after Gods Land & People. Israel needs to think fot themselves. PLO is not a genetic arab Family to have a private piece of any Land, they are The Arafat PLO. nothing more. they are Being used as a tool a weapon against Israel. Will the Ynet news print the truth? then Print this ok? Roy C. H. USA
15. the appalling arrogance
Marcel ,   Florida   (10.12.07)
We know who dominates Israel. The astounding arrogance and trampling of Israel's sovereignty continues to get worse because Israel has misplaced her faith in this bogus ally,turned bully. This is your reward for your idolatry and ignoring Hashem. The pharaoh friend has turned into slavemaster and the hebrew children are once again in salvery to a hard taskmaster. Once again Hasham will break the yoke of Pharaoh Bush and his secretary Rice
16. That Land Grab Is Called Israel
J. Abramoff ,   zionazistan   (10.12.07)
Why not one person, one vote?
17. Explain what excuses you will give to Hashem
R.Alkalai ,   USA   (10.12.07)
Condie, explain what excuses you will give to Hashem for your evil treachery. It is obvious that you have forgotten that there is a power far greater than your oil revenue,and far more powerful than the Saudi bankroll. And, you have forgotten what it takes to be a decent, moral, and ethical human being. You are too busy in your worship of HaSatan. But, don't worry, Hashem will surely remind you.
18. PLAYING THE APPEASEMENT GAME BY SCOLDING ISRAEL
David P. ,   Central Coast, USA   (10.12.07)
It's a shame the USA must appease their so-called 'Arab Allies' by pretending to care if Israel chooses to improve it's infrastructure and build a much needed road in their own country. I guess our intention is to appear even handed while delivering a warning to Iran, that their fate is in their hands.
19. Rices Clarification
Mark ,   San Diego USA   (10.12.07)
Hey Rice here is your clarification#1 its not arab land #2 its none of your buisness #3Israel will take & should take any land they need to secure their borders. Unlike the USA Israel secures their borders. Israel should ask Rice for clarification on what makes her think she is qualified for her postion as secretary of state. She is nothing more than a puppet in an inept cabinet.
20. Back words with action:Stop the $10 billon that go to Israel
GR ,   Florida   (10.12.07)
We Americans need this money much more than Israeli settlers. With that yearly allowance Ms. Condi, imagine: how many kids can be insured. how many homes can be built. how many jobs can be created. how many teachers can be hired. how many miles of roads can be paved........................................ IN AMERICA.
21. why hiding; it's part of Gaza - W.B. safe passage?
observer   (10.12.07)
Israel is doing its best to blow up the peace summit before it starts.
22. RICE, EXPLAIN WHY YOU WANT TO HOLD SUMMIT TO DESTROY ISRAEL?
David ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.12.07)
Explain why you want Israel to give up soveirenty and security for words and promises that will never be kept and will ultimately lead to our destruction? Explain why the state departmen, which you lead, is so anti-Israel and so anti-semitic, that its comments are sometime worse then Hitler's Germany?
23. C-------A R--E..............................................
AVROHOM BILGREI ,   ZION   (10.12.07)
THE INDUSTRIAL MILITARY COMPLEX'S SALES MANAGER ! AND COVERT PROVACATUR ! I THINK WE GOT IT STRAIGHT NOW !
24. To Mrs Rice
trumpeldor ,   eurabia   (10.12.07)
We want to ensure a land corridor between maale adumim and yerushalaim
25. "...Arab land near Jerusalem" ?????
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (10.12.07)
No such thing exists. This is the Land of Israel. All land in the Land of the Israel is Jewish land.
26. roads
colin   (10.12.07)
Land grab??? That is the latest reasoning for the arabs to attempt to stop progres and not wanting a better transport system to help themselves.Rice must get lost and keep out of Israels progress, and tell the arabs to ge to hell.Hope you understand simple english condi!!!!!
27. Excuse me?
Gus ,   USA   (10.12.07)
Condi, You need to mind your own business. Perhaps, you need to read The Bible. This land was given to the Jewish people by God. Who are you to ask for a clarification?
28. #3: Rice Is Just Bush's Mouthpiece
emanon ,   USA   (10.12.07)
There's not an original thought in Rice's head. She is nothing more than a talking puppet. Bush pulls her strings and puts words in her mouth. And by the way, the a lot of *people* in the US support Israel, it is just official Bush policy to dismantle Israel to appease the Arab world so the oil does not stop flowing.
29. Usual anti-American rant...
Chonny ,   Colorado, US   (10.12.07)
Most countries immediately criticized Israel for the so-called "land grab". The US did not, remaining silent until now. So what if Dr. Rice asks for "clarification"? She is also denouncing Iran. But now, every talkback instinctively attacks her, the Administration, and the US as a whole. Get over it, and STOP TRYING TO DRIVE A WEDGE BETWEEN THE US AND ISRAEL!
30. There is no such thing as arab land in Israel.
Jeremiah ,   Israel's Jewish Land   (10.12.07)
Jews must not forget history. Watch this for a quick reality check. http://www.terrorismawareness.org/what-really-happened/
