frank sol ,   san diego, USA   (12.05.12)
The future do not belong to arrogant ppl, history showed us so many times.
35. Who cares........
WiseSaba ,   Western Negev   (12.05.12)
Avraham Goodman Are we supposed to care what Thomas Friedman says, I think not, he is nothing more than a Jew hating Jew. I would like to know where was his outrage when we were being constantly bombarded here in the south 2 weeks ago with over 1500 missiles for over 8 days?
36. As long as supporters of Arab fascism a'la Friedman r irked
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.05.12)
we should say thanks to our govt.! What a sorry exuse for a lousy Yid this Tom is!
37. Every single time Thomas Freidman farts, Ynet feels
Nossen DaChossen ,   Blooklyn, NY   (12.05.12)
obligated to tell us. Same garbage from him all the time. Enough already.
38. Thank you for stating blunt truths, #25
Cameron ,   USA   (12.05.12)
They definitely need to be stated now & again as rather important reminders for the YNET audience to bear in mind.
39. One of Obama's original speeches...
(12.05.12)
led to the Palestinian leadership forging ahead with their motion at the U.N. So let me get this right Mr. Friedman, your President and his Administration facilitated the move in the U.N. then voted to block it and the Israeli leadership and people must be forever grateful. Please give me the name of your dealer, I would love to smoke the ghanga you are on.
40. NY
TONY ,   NIGERIA   (12.05.12)
Has New York Times ever reported anything about Israel. The UN vote had two faces - the body, the body of Isau, but the voice, the voice of Jacob. Obama was the body at the UN against PA, but Obama was the voice with the EU members against Israel.
41. TF I have a solution for you
Shelly ,   Tel aviv israel   (12.05.12)
I hope that ny times will b smart enough to get rid of you and send you to Gaza where you can continue with your arrogant attitude and invent some more unrealistic stories. I hope someday you will live under rocket attack and im sure u will want to defend yourself by using such thing as the iron dome but then I will criticize u and tell u not to b hypocrite and use what the israelis invent for your safety as well. So next time when u criticize such harshly a country I suggest u will use ur brain first and live under the same conditions... Ignorance this Is ur problem!
42. Take a breath!!!
Z.Z. Coltrane ,   USA   (12.05.12)
Do you think this liberal trash-ball can take his lips of Obama's butt long enough to catch a breath?!
43. To Salma @ #17!
Taz Man ,   USA   (12.05.12)
I know two things for sure: there will NEVER be a Palestinian state (since there is no such people, other than the true people who earned that Palestinian moniker, a while back--the Jews); also, the coming wars will settle the Arab Palestinian lie once-and-for-all; the fake Palestinians WILL be wiped-out (so sorry...but, no cigar)! God bless, Israel and THEIR eternal land...and, its capital, Jerusalem!!! A Christian Zionist
44. Vote for Kadima!
Avi Mizrachi ,   tel aviv, israel   (12.05.12)
Likud take away my job. I can't get married because I have no apartment. Prices too high. Food very expensive. Now I unemployed. My vote goes to kadima in next election! I hope you be smart and do same!
45. If there is anyone arrogant- it is thomas friedman
elianna ,   Jerusalem   (12.05.12)
46. What a hoot,Thomas Friedman talking about arrogance..
Jarred Stone ,   London UK   (12.05.12)
This guy is so full of it,it is a wonder that he hasn't self imploded by now.Thomas Friedman get lost.You are not wanted get lost........
47. To: USA Government - Auschwitz question
JtC ,   Johannesburg RSA   (12.05.12)
Why did the US armed services not blow up the most notorious Nazi Death Camp and potentially save hundreds of thousands of lives when they had the chance? Never mind...we all know the answer...
48. Boycott & Demonstrate: Be Proud!
joel yosef busner ,   afula, israel   (12.05.12)
Stop reading this garbage! Do something for the Jewish People and our G-d given rights to this land and I mean all of htis land! Make this sorry excuse for a Jew miserable. Make it hard for him and costly for both him and his sick, lying, twisted, trash, Paper!
49. WHAT PEOPLE DO NOT REMEMBER
daniela   (12.05.12)
is that in 1947 there was the partition of Palestine creating 2 nations: one for the jews and the other for the palestinians. I understand that this nations was Jordan.. what happened with it? That the British imposed a king from the Hashemite family it doenst mean that the land on the east side of the Jordan River was not supposed to be Palestine. So.. Mr. Friendman and all others who are looking for a palestinian state I have great news for you (and for Abbas, et company) Palestines is already there.. you just have to change the name... today we call it Jordan, but tomorrow we could call it Palestine if you will. LEAVE ISRAEL ALONE.. you do not need another state
50. Think, stupid
Tal ,   Karmiel   (12.05.12)
The USA will also be one of the nations to enjoy the fruits of Iron Dome, should it ever be needed. That is a solid return on an investment. As for gratitude, the Israel USA relationship is mutually beneficial. Especially in the days of Arab spring which is quickly turning to Islamic winter
51. WORST CRIME OF ALL: THE BALFOUR CORRUPTION.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (12.05.12)
52. #18, David - exactly
Scott ,   Haifa   (12.05.12)
53. In the absence of peace Jews will settle
Sam ,   Canada   (12.05.12)
For many, many Jews the West Bank is an important part of the Jewish biblical homeland. While most Jews would sacrifice part of the Jewish homeland for peace the Palestinians reject peace with a Jewish Israel. The West would have Israel grovel to the Palestinians in the hope they would make peace but that has never worked. So, Jews are not going to wait around forever for Palestinians to change their minds. The West needs to confront the Palestinians about accepting a Jewish Israel rather than uselessly criticizing Israel.
54. #6 US should "mind its own business"
Jeff ,   USA   (12.05.12)
An alliance is a two-way street and the US is under no obligation to blindly support everything you do. If you want us to start "minding our own business" all of a sudden, I'm sure many in the US would be happy to stop being expected to constantly stick our necks out for you in the UN (including in the Security Council) and to stop having to shell out billions of dollars each year to fund your military and missile defense.
55. #7
Madeleine ,   Israel   (12.05.12)
You really don't have a clue, do you. Jerudalem always has been and always will be the undivided capital of Israel to which the Palestinians have no more rights than you do to Jerusalem. They have the right to live there, which they are doing right now so please go away and shut up.
56. And why not
Hilton ,   South Africa   (12.05.12)
If there is anyone arrogant its Friedman himself. Its about time he spent some valuable time reading history. We are not occupiers or settlers its our land. There just happens to be some arabs there too.We accepted partician in 1948 and were attacked, attacked again in 1967 and attacked again in 1973 and he wants us to make peace. For once let us determine our own future without his doctorin
57. Dear Thomas
Arik ,   Israel   (12.05.12)
Dear Thomas Here, in Israel, it is a dead end. No much point in discussing about it. You better worry about the US. Plenty of room for improvement on your side of the ocean.
58. Uncle Thom
Gabe ,   Canada   (12.05.12)
Playing doormat suits him well. That is the only way for him to get some attention.
59. # 25 Daniel Err, America is now 17th in the world.
bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (12.05.12)
The Americans could purchase these from Israel whose done the Rand R and has made the weapon viable however, the US has announced they will start building their own"Iron Dome" from scratch and have Raytheon start the entire process ( assuring some American jobs ) that will leave the US unprotected until the political delay.
60. Friedman GET A LIFE
Ezekial Haim ,   LONDON UK   (12.05.12)
Why does any news media still report Friedman.He has become completely irrelevant like Hamas rockets ,blown into puffs of smoke by the iron dome.Friedman get a life or get another singsong.
