4. Bibis' Biggest Mistake was a Moral Surrender To Terror under
Meir Elazar   (06.05.10)
Pressure. The central core issue here is and always has been Moslem Terror. It started in the early 1900's with the massacre at Tel Hai, knive and axe massacres in 1920, 1929, and 1936. Ironic that the Radical Turkish Terrorists on the Flotilla ships brandished knives and pipes just like the earlier massacres of Jews. The Palestinians continued their terror pioneering the airplane hijackings of the 70's with Leila Khaled, blowing up of the Pan Am airplanes, Rome massacres, Aquila Laro, Munich Olympics massacres, Entebbe hijackings, Buenos Aires attacks, and countless others. across the globe. If this was not enough they inspired other Radical Moslem groups across the globe such as Abu Sayaf with their beheadings in the Phillipines, Chechnyan rebels in the Moscow Theatre and Beslan Massacre of Teachers and Children, Al-Qaeda, and Hezbollah. Just so that there is no question about these groups, when they are not murdering innocent Israelis, Jews, Americans, and Europeans, they keep the skills up by murdering each other. Murder, torture, maiming, kidnapping, smuggling, drugs (eg Afghanistan) are their business. These are the worst of the worst. The only difference is that Israel is the most effective counter terror force in the world. They export their knowledge and skill as evidence around the world including the FARC rescue and repelling of Somali pirates and countless other situations. But back at home to protect our own people, we had to use the most dramatic and creative methods to stop the constant infiltrations and terror attacks. This cost the PALs the major source of employment, Israel, their freedom of movement, their quality of life, and everything. But the PAL people chose to support terror and elected the murderous HAMAS to be their government and representive. As such they endorsed their fate and their well deserved punishment. But the biggest mistake of the world is not to put the blame squarely where it belongs, on the PAL terrorist and all of those who support them. No other country would tolerate any terrorist attacks and somehow they expect Israel to absorb tens of thousands of terrorist attacks and rocket attacks. But the biggest mistake was by Hussein Obama pressuring Bibi to cave in after the Flotilla Ambush because he needed Turkey's support against Iran in the UN and Bibi morally surrendered. His Moral Surrender allowed Radical Islam to claim a victory, gave ammunition to all the anti-Semites who are attacking our LEGAL RIGHT AND OBLIGATION TO FIGHT TERROR AND BLOCKADE THE TERRORIST AND THEIR SUPPORTERS. The Radical Islamists fabricate Mohammed Dura and Beach attacks with multiple retake Palywood productions to sell to Al Jazeera and the Arab world. If the Arab world were responsible, they would see through these lies but they want to believe it or they fear for their own lives. Look at the assasination history in the Arab world (Libya, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, etc). This is fueled by Radical Islam in the Madrassa brain washing system and it is spreading to London, France, Europe, etc. Stop focusing on the distractions and get back to the core issue: RADICAL ISLAM IS SPREADING ACROSS THE GLOBE AND MUST BE STOPPED USING ANY AND ALL MEANS BAR NONE. This is the ONLY issue at hand.
5. This is radical palestinian nationalism
they're not leftists   (06.05.10)
Shalom Achsav and Gush Shalom main ideology is radical palestinian nationalism - they want to create a palestinian state on the ruins of the state of Israel. It's important to note that they get funding from the EU
6. Leftists dont like democracy, when it does not vote them in.
rebecca ,   Modiin   (06.05.10)
7. what thousands? there were no more than a hundred...
Joe ,   Jerusalem, ISrael   (06.05.10)
8. The Left and death
Damien Rozan ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.05.10)
Why dont these leftists understand that the government and the IDF protect them? Ok I am in for peace but there actions are ridiculous. They will be the end for Israel if they get there way. The government or the IDF is like their parents where they must do things for their own good. I ask them and hope for them to have some fore sight. Israel must protect itself. Israel gave Gaza to the palestinians in the hope for peace - did not happen. Withdrew from Lebanon in the hope for peace - did not happen. ISRAEL MUST PROTECT ITSELF FROM PEOPLE THAT WANT TO HARM IT. FOR THE SAKE OF ALL PEOPLE IN ISRAEL - LEFT, RIGHT AND MIDDLE.
9. They are not to be called names, are good people (rightist)
Palestinian   (06.05.10)
10. Suggestion: Israelis should verbalize compassion for Gazans
naro ,   nyc   (06.05.10)
But insists on the ban on importation of weapons. Far too often Sabras come out to the world as cold and detached from the suffering in Gaza. It is notnecessary to be so cold. Show your deep compassion while insisting on security. It is so much about perception of indifferent Israeli attitudes toward the Palestinian civilians.
11. demo
guest   (06.05.10)
I agree that the government of Israel is only hurting Israels intrests. It started with the occupation. But hey, maybe we should tell the Turks that there is a memorial for Turkish soldiers in Israel? ;)
12. what part of jihad dont they understand ?
abraham ,   toronto   (06.05.10)
very naive people !
13. Israel's Trojan Horse
Brod ,   USA   (06.05.10)
They are Israel's Trojan Horse that is colluding with Israel's enemies and undermining Israel's national security interests. They are Judases to the State of Israel and the Land of Israel. It is time for Israel to act against the Trojan Horse before the virus spreads and destroys the Nation of Israel.
14. Right and Left, Left and Right? What about sanity?
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.05.10)
1) Despite your braindead, unlogical, inconsisent rant, due to extensive drug use, you people that refer to yourselves as "Leftists" change nothing. We Jews/Israelis are the natives, the original population and the original owners of the land of Israel since 2000 BCE and Arabs are as "natural" and "native" in Israel as Europeans are in Northern America. 2) The Arab world is despotic and so are the Arabs of Judea, Samaria and Gaza. Israel is the only democracy of the Middle East and one of the most democratic nations on earth - granting religious freedom for everyone and even allowing Arabs to reside and live in Israel with full democratic and citizenship rights including voting for Arab Members of Knesset spewing Jew hatred on a daily basis and de facto acting like traitors and a fifth column at the expense of Israeli tax payers! 3)In Israel there are more than 1 million Arabs. In the Arab world, hardly any Jews are left - almost one million Jews were ethnically cleansed in the 1940s and 1950s. 4) There is no letter "p" in Arabic. 5) "Palestine" or "Palaestina" is a Roman/Latin name - has nothing to do with Arabs/Moslems. 6) There is no "Palestine" or "Palestinians" in the Bible and the Koran. 7) Jews/Israelis are the natives and original population/owners of the land of Israel and even blood related to the ancient Canaanites. Check Wikipedia - check Kingdom of Israel, Kingdom of Judah, kings of Israel and Judah, check ethnic/cultural/linguistic connection/bond between Jews/Israelis and Canaanites and Phoenicians. 8) When and where exactly does this "Palestine" exist? No Arab referred to themselves as "Palestinians prior to 1967 and Judea/Samaria was occupied by Jordan from 1949-1967 and Gaza was occupied by Egypt between 1949-1967. Funnily enough, there were no protests neither from the local Arabs nor from the "Leftists".. No "Palestine" or "Palestinians" existed in 1948, 1900, 500 years ago, 1000 years ago or 5000 years ago. 9)What kings, dynasties, temples, palaces, capitals, cities, philosophers, philosophies, language, alphabet, religion,territory, borders, waters, mountains, lakes, valley and rivers, currency and neighbors did the "ancient" "Palestinians" have? 10) How come that NO Israelite/Israeli/Jewish/Judean/Hebrew, Canaanite, Phoenician, Philisteene(Greek Cretans), Egyptian, Sumerian, Hittite, Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian, Greek, Roman, Byzantian, Arab, Mongol, Turkish/Ottoman or Christian Medieval European sources EVER MENTION ONCE ANY "Palestinian" race of people, ethnicity, nationality, tribe, culture, nation, religion, kings, dynasties, history, identity, state, kingdom, republic or duchy in the history of mankind? 11) And how come that besides from ancient Judean/Jewish/Israeli/Israelite/Hebrew sources, Jews/Israelis are also explicitly mentioned in Canaanite, Phoenician, Egyptian, Hittite, Philisteene, Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian, Greek, Roman, Byzantinian, Arab, Turkish and medieval Christian European sources? Is this a conspiracy too? 12) If the Moslem lives are so important to you, why didn't you "Leftists" protest Moslems killing 10 million Moslems since 1945? Because of "Leftist" solidarity with Arabs/Moslems and brotherly love? And if this land is so important to Arabs then why the hell did the goyim - Christians and Moslems leave the country to rot and become a country almost empty of people - a country desolate, unlovely, covered in deserts and malaria infested swamps? Is this a sign of Arab love for the land? And killing thousands of Jews for 1400 years - is this also a sign or proof of Arab brotherly love? 13) You "Leftists" chant "PEACE", "PEACE". And the terrorists of the flotilla shouted to the IDF soldiers "Go back to Auschwitz". So you "Leftists" want peace? Then prepare for war with the enemy. If the enemy is dead, we will have peace.
15. "Geneva Accord Now?" Hmmm...
Sue ,   Los Angeles   (06.05.10)
That's the Yossi Beilin/Jimmy Carter/PLO/Soros plan, co-sponsored in the US by a Congressman Rahm Emanuel - in which Jerusalem would be divided, with the Old City under the United Nations flag and Jews barred from certain neighborhoods and holy sites. I wonder if the White House is behind this protest.
16. "RIGHTIST GOVERNMENT?"
steve ,   Israel   (06.05.10)
Will somebody please explain to these righteous leftists that their Minister of Defense, Ehud Barak, heads the Labour Party. Or is this just one of many inconvenient truths?
17. Pro PLO/Hamas activists march in Tel Aviv
Golan ,   modiin   (06.05.10)
Oslo ended the so called "greater land of Israel" its failure ended the delusional wet-dream of peace. Now all we have in a gun in one hand an an enemy in our HOUSE on the other. and these idiots support the enemy.
18. Sorry Israel, i dont believe you this time!
Obesrver   (06.05.10)
You march freely while palestinians have been suffering since 1948. The world has changed and you are all accused until Palestine is established and you move back the borders the world sees LEGAL, your veiws or expansion dreams are no longer tolerated. These marches are only done to try to give a better image but the truth is, all of you are satisfied with the damage that you have caused through history and we know it!
19. 'occupation' is in the minds of those who hatete
gays4israel ,   toronto   (06.05.10)
20. Leftist take advice of Helen Thomas...
Salomon Mizrahi ,   Sao Carlos/Brazil   (06.05.10)
Go back to poland and germany.. that´s your real place because you lack any sense of judaism, no religious neither cultural... Let Israel for the jews, to the heirs of those who were expelled along the last three millenia..
21. 15,000? Why not 150,000?... 1,500,000??...
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (06.05.10)
Why does the media constantly supports the lies of the crazy Left? I suggest to ask the police for a better estimate - more likely it would be much closer to 1,500.
22. Funny
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (06.05.10)
The question was always whether the Leftists were misguided idealists or crazed fanatics. The fact that they spent their Saturday supporting Jihad proves they are not idealists.
23. No more then 1500 protesters become 15,000 in LEFTIST YNET!
YNET = LIE-NET   (06.05.10)
24. now these fools really, really make me sick!!!
Brian ,   Tel Aviv, Isarael   (06.05.10)
15,000? Don't believe it people I don't know who wrote this but it's not true. Not even remotely close. Not even 1,000.
25. Too little, too late
JJ   (06.05.10)
26. Good that there are reasonable voices in "Israel"
Salma ,   Palestine   (06.05.10)
There is still some hope
27. Leftists ?
François ,   Montréal   (06.05.10)
What is this amalgamation between people who disagree with the occupation or any other policy or action of the State of Israel and leftists. Many people on the right of the political spectrum want the blockade lifted. With this kind of cheap political rhetoric (the right defends Israel and the left are traitors) it must be difficult for a right wing opponent to the blockade to speak up. Things may hopefully change now, however. Cheap journalism
28. Forget rhetorical talkbacks, sad fact is left disappearing
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (06.05.10)
The "left" simply still can't get over itself. They meet with themselves, talk with themselves, get the attention of international leftists, and get awards given by leftists for leftists. The sad truth is that pretty soon there won't be any leftists remaining in Israel. Why? Because the vast majority of the population (as shown in the polls) simply doesn't buy the lie that two states for two nations at any price will bring peace. The vast majority of Israeli citizens do indeed want peace, and are willing to give the Palestinians their own state beside us. However, the vast majority of Israeli citizens also see half of Palestine in Gaza saying that they do not want peace and will "never" negotiate. The other half of Palestine in the West Bank is barely able to run itself, is scared silly of Hamas, and is barely able to understand that corruption and nation-making do not go hand in hand in the 21st century. They have to make a nation first, and then get back to bribing each other and stabbing each other in the back. These leftists, or what remains of them, had better concentrate on keeping whatever seats they have in the Knesset. If the trend continues, Meretz will fade into oblivion leaving only the radical Hadash Party...which while it's bi-national on paper, these days it's simply dominated by the Arabs. It's sad. It's pathetic. Israel does indeed need a strong left wing that stands for social change, and social democratic values. The left wing has degenerated to a single-issue: a Palestinian state at any cost. Israelis have rejected that and the left will go the way of the dodo if it doesn't get back on track.
29. you are so right
Esther Ehrenberg ,   Israel   (06.05.10)
yes were are the thousand? I only see hundred savages how would like to take over the state of Israel.
30. Thousands is not much ..
redbourn ,   Arad, Israel   (06.05.10)
There are 7.3 million people in Israel. The West is suffering from a virus though that's been given the name. Liberal Lemmings http://www.ourchangingglobe.com/liberal-lemmings-and-the-lunatic-left/ It seems to be highly contagious so please steer well clear of anyone exhibiting symptoms such as political correctness and a desire to self destruct.
