1. All this seem to be cheap talk.
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (11.22.08)
Yaalon:GO TO HEVRON TO SUPPORT FELLOW JEWS! If you and all other "stars"keep only talking without acts,we will know that you and kadima gang are all the same! Go to show to arabs and to everybody to whom belong Israel and to whom you will trully fight. GO!!!
2. Is he allowed to have common sense?
Ike ,   Izmir   (11.22.08)
Any five year old with a brain knows this. This is sickening to endure. I mean BARF. Livni ? Olmert? Barack? BARFAROONI.
3. My Oh My
Arie ,   BaGolan   (11.22.08)
Finally someone willing to speak the truth: The "Israeli Arabs" have repeatedly shown their hatred towards the State; they repeatedly demand we supply support and give them while refusing to give anything back to the peopl and the State; they scream for pali rights but when we say "ok...your towns will be moved into a pali state and we will take the WB settlements in return" they scream "apartheid" I say remover the 5th column and trade town for town. We take the settlememnt blocs - they get the arab triangle! Yaalon has my vote
4. YAALON IS THE BEST
(11.22.08)
5. What is the problem with this?
Israeli Arab   (11.22.08)
Most Israeli Arabs will call this situation what it is. Most Jews living in this country settled this land this genreration or a couple of generation backs at best. Most Jews here are not natives like the Palestinian Samaritan Jews or other Palestinian Jews whom we historically had no single problem with. The problem started with those zionist immigrants whom basic premise is that this land belongs to them and no one else... What reaction would you consider normal for the Arabic speaking people of Palestine (Muslim+Christian+Jew) but to consider you settling invaders???
6. Why should the Jews trust Likud?
Steve ,   US   (11.22.08)
Ariel Sharon was Likud. He was a Likud party stalwart. Sharon sold out to the traitorous George W. Bush. Most of Likud, including Benjamin Netanyahu stood shoulder to shoulder with Ariel Sharon as he sold out to this decrepid U.S. president. Last week, Netanyahu boldly proclaimed he would continue "peace" talks with Israel's enemies who are dedicated to Israel's destruction. Netanyahu caved-in to Clinton pressure at Wye River. Netanyahu embraced the mass-murderer of the Jews, Yasir Arafat. He took hold of Arafat's bloody paw at Wye River. Feh! Why should the Jews trust these little Jewish men?
7. Yaalon For Prime Minister
Larry ,   zefat Israel   (11.22.08)
A fantastic Soldier,honest ,wise and a Mentsch.
8. Leftist Fools Take Note
Larry ,   zefat Israel   (11.22.08)
There speaks a wise and good man...Boogey Yaalon.
9. he's right
smith   (11.23.08)
Yaalon right. It's time to make thing clear with Arab Israelis; you are against Israel or for.
10. Israeli arabs have a home in Jordan, go there.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.23.08)
11. truth
colin   (11.23.08)
BOGEY Good news The truth will out. Unfortunately the leftest media are against you. The Israeli press only want blood -Jewish blood.Your words of the TRUTH hinders all what the prees wants to hear.They will stop writting about your truth.It lies heavy with the leftest traitors.
12. #5 As a sovereign Jewish state the Jews are allowed to bring
Frank ,   USA   (11.23.08)
their brethren who you define Zionist from anywhere they want just as UAE is allowed to import the Indian or Pakistani servants to serve their domestic needs. The fact is there are 22 dictatorial Arab entities on 99.9% of the Middle Eastern landmass that are almost free of Jews. There will be a Jewish entity on only 0.1% of the land whether your adversarial kind likes or not. You have a choice of 22 Arab states while the Jews have only 1 home - the Jewish land of Israel.
13. The problem is not the Arab enemies but the impatient Jews
Michael ,   USA   (11.23.08)
14. The Arab love to re-write history and present their
David ,   USA   (11.23.08)
fantasies as reality. The Mark Twains eyewitness account of the area was accurate. He was no Arab or Jew and did not have any interest or attachment to that land. According to him the land was desolate. Please remember #5 most Arabs came to the area in search of employment opportunities. Had it not been for the Jewish Zionists from Poland or Russia your ancestors would have continued to roam uselessly in Arabia. The Jews are the victims of the their own success. They brought in the workers tfrom the neighboring Arab state who have the audacity instead of being thankful assault the Jewish right to land.
15. #5 the problem is wherever the Arab majority rules
Collins ,   USA   (11.23.08)
there is only a mess, terrorism, dictatorship, censorship, violence, etc. Take a look at the map of the Arab world. What do you see? Is there is one highly rated university on the level of the Hebrew University or Technion? Is there any significant reasearch center anywhere in the Arab world? Is there anywhere in the Arab world a home grown medican research hospital? There is one Arab state that is free of discrimination, corruption and hatred. Despite the wealth the Arab states are mired in misery. Yet, for the sake of your sickening aspirations you want to turn the Jewish state into another miserable Arab dump.
16. Complete and Utter lie.......
Rami ,   Nazareth   (11.23.08)
we israeli-arabs see israeli jews as our fellow country men,and wish to coexist in peace in the one and only ISRAEL...
17. no peace without ..
Fadi ,   Beirut   (11.23.08)
Jerusalem ... forget about the settelment block ...it is not going to work ...the letter that MR Bush gave to Sharon will worth nothing on jan20 2009 . moving 1.2 million palestinians who were born there and have there roots there is a delusional idea formed by a racist . the world have chaged . adapt fast befor it is too late . and for MR Yaalon ...we have seen a lot of Generals sir ...even when you were up there ..you did not scare our kids let alone our men .. Talk is sheap sir . you had a chance for 2 states ...it is over now ..you overstayed your welcome . one state from the sea to the river . Deal with it .
18. #1 All YOUR talk is cheap. You have been quiet for along
time. GOOD! Your ad- ,   vice back 2 you-GO!!   (11.23.08)
19. comment on livni
alexi   (11.23.08)
yaalon is 100% right about the problem, and about Livni. She is nice, has more spine than eshmud olmert, but she didn't stop olmert in the lebanon war and the resolution that ended the war had no teeth.She did not influence barak to do anything significant in gaza. She has of late diverged from olmert's sellout. But her fondness for ramon is baffling and troubling, as ramon is a buffoon and olmert water carrier, plus a criminal.Finally, it was Yaalon who defeated PLO on the west bank, something barak did not do, nor did mofaz or olmert. Yaalon is light years ahead of barak in his thinking.
20. Yaalon is correct.
Matt C ,   Canada   (11.23.08)
Arab hostility to the settlements made post-1967 is just a continuation of their hostility to Israel in general. They focus on those settlements because they hope to make progress on them now, but sooner or later they will make similar demands on the rest of Israel if they think they are powerful enough to get away with it. They often will act diplomatic by saying they support Israel while slyly they reject the idea of Israel being a Jewish state. As Yaalon says, even Tel Aviv is considered a settlement to them, this is why Israel (and its true friends) must always be strong enough that it does not have to give in to Muslim or Arab demands if it does not want to.
21. right on #5
papajay   (11.23.08)
very well said.
22. #5
D   (11.23.08)
We were here 1,000 years before the birth of Islam!
23. They're all SO good with the talk
more of same ,   RG   (11.23.08)
and catch phrases. TILL they get in, but once theyre in.....that's a different story (including Liebermann). Always, no exceptions. Of course we're ALL settlers, and proud ones, including residents of the settlement of Ramat Aviv Jimmel, (though that's one settlement I don't particularly fancy, tho' maybe its very nice, who knows?)
24. #5- So let me understand you.
Uzziel   (11.23.08)
According to you the jews that settled this land are "zionist immigrants" while you are an "Israeli arab". With so many lies, spins and ttwists donĀ“t you arabs fear to become unrecoverably schizophrenic?
25. I cannot agree more
Moshe   (11.23.08)
26. Boogie is right
Shalom   (11.23.08)
He and the other new Likud-hopefuls. Danny Seaman, Efy Eitam et al are a breath of fresh air. They are all uncontaminated by Knesset lies and greed, and refuse to become that way too.
27. #1 is right, but now Moshe Yaalon is ready
David ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.23.08)
to speak out the truth. Yes Boogey, please go to Hebron and trully show that your words have meaning and substance. Don't let the words of compromise, of Bibi infiltrate your viewpoint. We need your strength, now. Now, when the left is desperate to destroy our country and make the arab dream, of destroying us, true.
28. #1
(11.23.08)
Keren, show some respect. General Yaalon lost his job has Chief of Staff because he objected to the ethnic cleansing of Gaza while corrupt fools like Livni and Olmert made millions.
29. Israeli Arab 5
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (11.23.08)
The problem is your double standard as to who is an invader. Just as most Jews lived less than three generations in Israel, also most Muslim Arabs lived here less than three generations. The difference is while the Jews came to Israel to escape oppression in Europe and the Arab countries, the Arabs left their own countries like Syria, Lebanon and Iraq to make money. That is why the Egyptian Arab Yasser Arafat said that Jews could stay in Israel if they could trace roots back to 1912, but Muslims could stay if they could trace their roots back to 1946. Before you say this is not true, explain why Arafat defined a Jew as Palestinian if he lived here before 1912, but a Muslim if
30. Do we have a choice?
Jewish Refugee ,   U.S.A.   (11.23.08)
Likud is the last chance that we have, I really don't see another party that can actually win and lead this country besides Likud. Israel has been faced with defeats in the Political, Enomical, and Social arenas' thanks to the Kadima and its lefty ways. Our enemies are getting stronger every day while our own country is becoming morally weaker. Dont get wrong militarily we are strong but we lack a strong leadership.
