1. All because Bibi doesn't have the gonads to stand up........
Very bad decision ,   Israel   (06.03.12)
like a real Jew and against the courts. Like Barak, he is more concerned about world opinion than Jewish survival. It will ultimately lead to Israel's destruction.
2. No More Expulsions From Eretz Israel
Johannes Broos ,   South Africa   (06.03.12)
Good for you, dear prof. Israel Oman, you choose the right side of the conflict. The conflict is not about giving up land but Whose land this is. Israel is the Property of Almighty God Who is the God of Abraham, Isaak and Jacob. And this God of Israel wants the Jews to live in that land! The Holy Land.
3. Israel won't "get it" until bombs start falling on Tel Aviv
Leftists die first ,   Jerusalem   (06.03.12)
and then it will be too LATE. No going back once land is given away.
4. It's a pitty a major figure like a Nobel Prize
Lou ,   Bucharest, Romania   (06.03.12)
laureate lost his wisdom.
5. be thankful for Tel Aviv and about Law
Ze'ev ,   Nbg, germany   (06.03.12)
Because this bright city shows how it could be! A place for everybody to live and to follow the own path. A tolerante place, without misogyny and religious coercion. About Ulpana: In a democracy we have to abide the law. Even if we dont like it. When we start to fight that, we bury the democracy and are luring for tyranny.
6. I question Netanyahu's loyalty to the people of Israel
Steve ,   San Francisco   (06.03.12)
And I always have. It has been painfully obvious for a very long time he's a clever, cunning, and crafty individual who has no real loyalty to the people who voted for him or to the patriotic larger public. Additionally he's a horrible weakling, timidly taking orders from Washington, and living in fear of world opinion. Look at this PM, take a good look!! He demoralizes and undermines. Israelis, vote in a true Zionist, please!!
7. Just shows...
David ,   Haifa   (06.03.12)
...that you can be very smart and at the same time a reli-nationalist fanatic.
8. Ditto, No More Expulsions
Brana Lobel ,   Israel   (06.03.12)
This move of Netanyahu should be fought by every legal means possible both within the Knesset and outside. This government shows no respect for its citizens.
9. amused given that Prof Oman lives in a very fancy...
Orna ,   Jerusalem   (06.03.12)
upscale and very wealthy neighborhood in West Jerusalem! If he really believed in what he is saying he'd move to the West Bank? But then I'm just sayin' cause he's just sayin'! ;-))
10. To: No. 9
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.03.12)
He's a Nobel Prize laureate. He's entitled to his opinion, just as you are entitled to yours. There are quite a few Israelis who support settlements in the West Bank but do not live there. There are millions of Jews in the Diaspora who support Israel, and who support the settlements, but choose not to live in any part of Israel. If that were to be a prerequisite, think of all the Israelis who support the Eritreans and Sudanese that have invaded Israel -- do you see them moving to South Tel Aviv? Not too likely, is it? So your point is actually quite irrelevant. One's politics and views concerning the future of the State of Israel do not bind you to living in a particular place. Just sayin'.
11. Ulpana Eviction
Oskar Prager ,   Petach Tikva   (06.03.12)
Mr. Netanyahu should remember that sometime next year, if not earlier, there will be elections. If the Ulpana eviction really takes place he should know that this time he will not be forgiven and without doubt he will lose the premiership. Meanwhile parlor parties a la Tea Party will take place, and we shall see to it that neither he, nor his representatives or anyone from Likud or Kadima will be permitted to appear to state their views. Only real Zionists like Mr.Lieberman or his friends will be invited. I can see the Likud losing at least 25 to 30 seats. Thee comes a time when one has to stand up for ones country and not care a damn about what other nations think of our actions. Oskar Prager, Petach Tikva
12. Aumann knows what he does
Eliyahu ,   Manchester, UK   (06.03.12)
Maybe the politicians should sometimes ask for help to the game theorists...
13. #4 who are you to judge Israel
Yossef   (06.03.12)
Au/Oman, have you did something in your life which compare with his achievements ? When a guy that smart tell you something, the best is to listen to him, and ask yourself what you don't understand.
14. Nobel price laureate against ulpana eviction
Floriane ,   Israel   (06.03.12)
what is Bibi doing? Giving our land to foreigners,Migrants how about putting Our Hard working israeli pionners first! And traumatizing the children! Enough, we fought for Eretz and now what are we doing with it. Not better than in the diaspora!
15. @10 if my point were so irrelevant...
Orna ,   Jerusalem   (06.03.12)
you wouldn't have bothered with such an indepth answer.... just sayin' :oP
16. it's really the time to disband the so-called hight court
(06.03.12)
17. To: No. 15
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.03.12)
I try never to miss an opportunity to educate fools and idiots.
18. Go, Johnny, Go.
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (06.03.12)
19. Robert John Aumann: stick with economics
Daniel ,   Tel Aviv   (06.03.12)
he may be a smart guy who understands economics (in theory , game theory is his area of expertise) but he has no idea about what it takes to make peace (in practice that is, prof.....)
20. Ynet throws a bone to the people
Yanni   (06.03.12)
but ignores the Bilderberger conspiracy group meeting in Chantilly, VA, thank goodness for the new media though...
21. @17 may I suggest u go do some autodidactic...
Orna ,   Jerusalem   (06.03.12)
(that means self-guided learning) start with lessons on proper manners and work from there to educating the fool and idiot in yourself! just sayin!
22. Two Wrongs still do not make a right
Gideon Reader   (06.03.12)
Gush katif with better optics is still an effort that wins no friends in the West, and poisons the wells of trust in the homeland. Clearly Giveret Gumps litle boy is doing the planing here, and gets another photo while attending the tragedy. How sad. How freaking sad.
23. Assad sure loves game theory too
Tom   (06.03.12)
Aumann's message of toughness and no compromise is music to Assad's ears.
24. #13
Michael ,   Haifa   (06.04.12)
If Auman had come up with opposition to the illegal settlements, would you have accepted his brilliance ? Plenty of Nobel Laureates have expressed their opposition to the settler movement Are they more ignorant than Auman ?. What is the connection with between academic achievement and political opinions ? Are your opinions less or more important than Auman's ?
25. so, he is a noble laureate..
Halfon Benari   (06.04.12)
.. in some kind of math! big deal! so was arafat, a 'prince of peace' they would have us believe.
26. #19 reality
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (06.04.12)
Yada yada yada, the problem is that reality has proven that the Zionists are rational intelligent people and the Left wing are either crazy messianics or brainless sheep. Two example: Left wing: let's bring Arafat from Tunis, give him weapons and territory and we will have peace! Zionists: he will murder the peace loving Arabs and start a bus bombing campaign in Tel Aviv. Left wing: let's ethnically cleanse Gush Katif of Jews and we will have peace! Zionists: Hamas will take over and shoot rockets at Israeli civilians.
27. To: No. 21
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.04.12)
Oh, is that how you completed the eighth grade? Self-guided learning? My, your family must be SOOOO proud. Any plans to continue on to high school someday, or are you content to muck out toilets for the rest of your life? You have a very long row to hoe before you can even consider teaching me anything. And that includes manners. You don't have any. Moreover, we all know that you are an idiot; you don't have to keep on proving it.
28. #17, Educating known elements incl. yourself is a mitzva.
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.04.12)
29. Unlike Arafart who had been bought with a Nobel...
m   (06.04.12)
just like Obama or Gore , Prof. Auman EARNED his prize with his BRAINS. Some people cant think analytical, just on the surface, whatever comes into the mind.
30. Orna, it hurts to be told the truth
m   (06.04.12)
What did she write that wasn't true?
