1. What a stupid title....
AJ ,   Washington, DC   (03.21.10)
He did not CAVE. The issue was construction in East Jerusalem. And that is full speed ahead. He agreed only to discuss issues in negotiations. That was the right move.
2. Time's up... Any questions? Reality set in yet?
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (03.21.10)
3. Step down if you can't handle the pressure.
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.21.10)
It's too bad. Bibi had the opportunity to bring down this Democrat, anti-Constitution government with its Muslim, radical president. All Bibi had to do was stand-up and expose the reality that ONLY Israel, is that one-time government willing to be a aggressive with, not Iran, not all the little fascist and/or Islamic dictators, only Israel. If Bibi stayed strong the Republicans would have had the ammo to sent this miserable socialist extremist back to Nigeria with his failed economic spending and racist health-care reform.
4. Bibi is G-d's Man for THIS HOUR! He will NOT Let Israel down
Alastair Murray ,   Perth / Jerusalem   (03.21.10)
Judgement is coming. I watched "Against All Odds: Israel Survives" the past few days. Miracle after Miracle since 1948!! G-d has dispatched EVERY single entity that has come against His People! Does anyone think He will desert His people now! No WAY. Why were the anti-semitic, pro-Islamic duo of Livni and Olmert turfed from office and replaced with probably the ONLY person in Israel who knows and can handle this Evil Fanatic Jihadist in the White House. Have faith in Hashem and have Faith in Bibi, but do PRAY fervently for Him, especially at this crucial time. But G-d Has it ALL in CONTROL. G-d Bless Israel and His Chosen, Always.
5. I'm back
Michael Hess AKA BBS ,   Charlotte, NC   (03.21.10)
All the Israeli media banned me after I started spewing forth the reality if my mentor David Duke. Even Haaretz banned me. Imagine a German media banning a like minded individual, I guess perception is everything. Well, one thing you can't overlook...it is the beginning if the end of the Jews. Praise be
6. Well well. Michael Hess (#2), the "time's up" idiot, returns
flyingdoc57 ,   Florida, U.S.A.   (03.21.10)
Wasn't the "time up" 1, 2 and 3 years ago, when you were firing off 100 postings per day on Haaretz, JTA, Wall Street Journal and a dozen other on-line newspapers and websits, with each post including the idiotic words "time's up"? Why the absence of your "time's up" drivel for the past 8-10 months? Could it be that you finally realized that you were making an even bigger idiot out yourself than you were when all you had were "wingnut" and "Jihadi under the bed"? Do tell us, silly little indian boy, was the "time up" then? Or is the "time up" now? Perhaps the "time" will be "up" 25 years from now, eh? Just what do you expect will happen now, you little hitlerite? Do you think the Jews will evacuate the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Golan? Are your really that insane? What do you think the Muslim idiot in the White House will do to Netanyahu, huh? Is he going to give Netanyahu a real "smackdown", like you said he would on each previous meeting? And how's that Goldstone Report "workin' fer ya' [another of your juvenile and condascending expressions]? Wasn't that also supposed to be the death knell for Israel? I could go on and on demonstrating the fallacies of every one of your inane predictions during the past few years. But let's keep it real simple (for the simpleton that you are). Give us"wingnut" Jews just ONE single reference to an instance where your inane predictions of doom and gloom for Israel has ever materialized? Just ONE! You simply can't get anything right, eh little indian boy? See, that's what you get when you shun a formal education, sit home on welfare and social security disability, and waste your life at a keyboard spewing Jew-hatred? Enjoy the misery, fool. We, here, will look forward to your silly little "time's up" and "wingnut" comments while Israel prospers and your terrorist heroes live in squalor.
7. ahmadinejad was right about israeli leaders
mohson   (03.21.10)
Bibi will not strike iran because he has inner discourt and lack of confidence. Olmert would not because he is afraid. barak will not because he is looking for approval by the US who will not give it. yaalon, begin and lieberman would do it. It may be time for likud to shift bibi into press officer and bring lieberman to the pm office with yaalon at defense. Barak has done his work and should leave as israel no longer needs his services.
8. ties damaged forever
Bernard Ross ,   St ans bay, jamaica   (03.21.10)
the tactics of Obama to extort concessions from Israel means that the US can never be trusted or relied upon. They will issue security guarantees but never deliver. How can borders be discussed before security. If the problem with Iran was so great then small tactical nuclear weapons should have bee used i place of the bunker busters that Obama withheld. Once appeasing the crocodile it will never end. Bibi should resign.
9. This is no cave in - Netanyahu strong
Johnny ,   Stockholm Sweden   (03.21.10)
10. #2 Indeed, a Reality Pill at last
Nour ,   Palestine فلسطين   (03.21.10)
Total withdrawal of Israel from the territories it occupied in 1967 including East Jerusalem - with the exception of roughly 1-2% in land swaps of equal quality. Israel + Settlers OUT of our lands, our water resources, and our border crossings - now. Oh and East Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine, cappice Bibi? Now let your coalition collapse for all we care. Perhaps the Israeli electorate have now learned their lesson. Some time you just have to be told what to do - it's GOOD for you.
11. Quit releasing their convicts.....and tell the
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (03.21.10)
United States to take a hike until it gets a stable president in power next election. Save yourselves....embarrass us.
12. NOTICE THE ISRAEL EARTHQUAKE SAME TIME ?
.........DACON9   (03.21.10)
THIS MAY BE THE BEGINING OF MANY HARSH JUDGEMENTS TO ISRAEL AND THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS JEWS ARE SPREAD TO THE 4 CORNERS OF THE EARTH.. TO REPLACE ISRAELI IF THEY TURN FROM ''HIM''
13. Now Will the USA-Israel Bomb Iran?
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (03.21.10)
Okay guys, lets not get carried away. We all know that Israel is the USAs 51st State, w/o which it is doomed. The US is Israel's only real friend, but has it's own self-interests, like oil, 300m Arabs, and 1.4b Muslims. Israel can whip the asses of the Palestinians within a few hours..and most likely Syria, Hamas and Hez. But Iran is a major headache (hear Michael Oren). It will have nukes soon aimed at Israel's cities and towns. Israel needs US, with our bunker busters and smart bombs. Bibi knows it. Sure, Israel could go it alone and use some of it's 400 nukes..but to what future? Hillary was insulted..maybe a good thing after all? Refugees, borders, E. Jerusalem..weaponry to the Pales and treaties made by them..difficult but not impossible. Diaspora Jews are a waste..inconsequential, their power limited. 2m Reform Jews debated Israel's policies..and saw the light. The Orthodox strident Jews have babies, and pray alot, but don't contribute much to anyone's security. Their babies do not fight Israel's wars. Jews are a dying people, (assimilation and intermarriage). Like in WW2, they refuse to fight..few if any mimick "Inglorious Bastards". fighters and "scalp" hunters. Lets get real, Jews were silent walking into the gas chambers. Not a wimper. They are good subjects for Holocaust movies though. Now lets hear what Hamas/Hez/Syria/Iran have to say. Will they be the spoilers? Will the US-Israel bomb their nuke sites ASAP? Getting exciting folks.
14. Say goodbye to re-election
blash ,   Los Angeles   (03.21.10)
Bibi will pay for this in the next election. Israelis want a LEADER not someone who will bow over to Obama the anti-Semite. We all know that settlements are NOT a root problem against peace so STOP acting like it is!
15. Bibi,you are a spineless pathetc wimp
CHAIM ,   BROOKLYN NY   (03.21.10)
16. Yes, Netanyahu Caved
Jania ,   Silver Spring, MD   (03.21.10)
I wish you were right, AJ, but Netanyahu caved. He put a "Kick Me" sign on Israel. Do you think Clinton would scream at any non-Jewish state leader on the phone? Can you imagine any Arab Muslim leader putting up with that? Netanyahu can't stop apologizing. I'm worried that he'll give up every inch of Israel and tell Israelis to jump into the sea just to show the U.S. how much he wants peace.
17. Bibi Should Resign
Silverscript Insurance Company ,   rockville, us   (03.21.10)
According to Haaretz, a lift-wing pro-Obama newspaper and Ynetnews Bibi shamefully capitulated. According to all historic traditions a defeated general or politician who has a minimal amount of personal dignity resigns. In Japan, it is popular to do harakiri. Israel has a strong economy and army and a weak, indecisive Prine Minister. Bibi, resign. Obama and obamistas know very well all Israeli weak spots. Netanyahu is Israel's weak spot. Resign, habibi.
18. "We are your Daddy!"
Chris ,   United States   (03.21.10)
Netanyahu + US Pressure = Caveman
19. A few cookies to keep Pals talking rather than terrorizing
Sam ,   Canada   (03.21.10)
The US appears terrified of Muslim terror and they want Palestinians talking rather than terrorizing. Note to the US - Nothing is serious until the Palestinians accept that the end of talks means a Jewish state remains. The Palestinians and other Arabs are just stringing the US and EU along looking for free concessions until they feel ready for the next war against Israel.
20. Obama blackmails Israel
Sue ,   Los Angeles   (03.21.10)
Shipment to Israel of needed military equipment has been stopped in order to blackmail Bibi into accepting Obama's demands.
21. If Bibi tries to give away Jerusalem
(03.21.10)
he is finished. Any land concession needs to be approved by referendum, and Israelis will never agree to give away Jerusalem.
22. clinton pushes netanyahu under the bus
tom ,   toronto, canada   (03.21.10)
of course the palestinians want to discuss "core issues" when they feel a negotiating advantage! the fact that the obama administration pressured israel into a priori concessions demonstartes both why the arabs wanted the us to run these negotiations, and even more clearly their anti-israeli bias. the easing of security measures around gaza is even more ironic, since the gazans have just demonstrated that they are ready and able to fire more qassams at israeli civilian targets. to force israeli concessions that will only allow more arms to flow to hamas is typical of american policy and callous disregard for israeli lives and international law (under which hamas should be prosecuted for war crimes, rather than rewarded).
23. Bibi
Rick S. ,   USA   (03.21.10)
He talks the talk but does not walk the walk. He does not have what it takes to stand up to Oybama.
24. #2, keep dreaming, will never see PA State
Raphy ,   Canada   (03.21.10)
Zionism is the same as Judaism and the fact that Jews live and breathe is a provocation to you. Read my lips" This land is our land" and 2,000 years of prayers to return here has paid off. We will continue to pray for a rebuilt Jerusalem including our holy sites. The Jewish God lives! Like it or not, he will have his house rebuilt and you will see a new reality.
25. #2 Time will be up when you say
Marina Oliver ,   Tel Aviv   (03.21.10)
THANK YOU. When we have dealt with Iran, you moron
26. And the U.S. caved in to the Palestinians...
Brian Cohen ,   PeoplesFront ofJudea   (03.21.10)
...oh right, they Americans never did demand much from the Pals, who said it was all Israel's fault that their buddy Pals in Gaza commit war crimes by firing anti-personnel rockets at Israeli civilians. So if the Americans didn't demand that the Pals obey international laws, well, they couldn't cave in to anything, could they? Hmmmm... I wonder when the Yanks will get around to demanding that Hamas cough up the guys who murdered the two Americans in that diplomatic convoy some years ago. Or maybe the Americans now think that the Palestinians had the legitimate right to kill them because they were "resisting the occupation."
27. Slippery Slope
daat y ,   israel   (03.21.10)
Netanyahu do you not understand any giving in just breeds more. Obama will only be happy when there is no more Israel to defend . You indeed caved in.
28. Next Iran!
Jenny ,   LA   (03.21.10)
He'll cave and acede to Obama et al and will agree to live with a nuclear Iran. The end!
29. Time to replace Bibi in Likud.
Wise Saba ,   Eretz Yisrael   (03.21.10)
He is a wimp & can't stand any pressure. The time has come to dump him for a new Likud leader.
30. #1 Agree....very stupid misleading title
Jay3 ,   Israel   (03.21.10)
After reading the article its obvious Bibi hasnt caved in to anything!
