1. Wonder how much Bibi (I mean the citizens) paid for this one
Hahaha ,   Israel   (01.20.13)
Netanyahu must think we are stupid
2. Bibi is by far the best P.M. candidate now available.
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.20.13)
Bibi is not my first choice for P.M. by a long shot. However, of the candidates available now, Bibi is by far the best choice. To entrust Israel in the hands of a total disaster like Livni or Shelley would be nuts. Lapid is simply a media star with no qualifications whatsoever to lead anyone.
3. I have no problem with these celebs endorsements but
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (01.20.13)
we should know, also, that Donald Trump has business connections in Israel through his daughter; and Chuck Norris (if I'm not mistaken) married an Israeli. Hardly objective opinions ???
4. Yes, BUT how much does Mr Norris understand in Israeli
Big Mouth ,   On the face   (01.20.13)
Politics ?
5. Mr. Norris and Mr. Trump: pathetic.
Rachel Rabin ,   TA, Israel   (01.20.13)
6. Why not let Chuck Norris and Don Run

Chuck Norris isn't married to an Israeli, so that has nothing to do with his endorsement of Netanyahu. In fact, based on Norris's own political leanings, his pro-Netanyahu stance isn't surprising. As far as Donald Trump's business connections in Israel, Trump has business connections all over the world, and whether or not it has anything to do with his daughter, is probably easy enough to ascertain. But, again, as with Chuck Norris, Trump probably sees eye-to-eye with Bibi on a number of issues...his daughter's connections notwithstanding.
8. Netanyahu and Norris
Harold ,   USA   (01.20.13)
Similar birds fly together.
9. Great ad, Chuck and Bibi! Well done!
Rivkah   (01.20.13)
10. Birds of a feather
Michael ,   Haifa   (01.21.13)
Two people, who believe that force is the sole method for achieving anything
11. Bibi is a liar..Ha Beit Ha Yehudi is the only choice!
Netanya ,   Netanya   (01.21.13)
Sadly, I voted for Bibi last time and then he paid Trachtenburg for a report, only to do nothing. He is not true to the people and cannot be trusted. Time to get rid of him and most of the rest of the Kinneset, they are really all thieves who have only their own self interest at heart. This time I am voting for Ha Bayit Ha Yehudi and will hope for the best. There is no one who is really worthwhile today.
12. I Guess It Takes A Bad Ass
(01.21.13)
To Know A Bad Ass! Stick to your guns Bibi, Good Luck On The Next Election Mr Prime Minister! Baruch Ha Shem
13. CHUCK NORRIS AND TRUMMP
H ROSEN ,   PA U S A   (01.21.13)
LET'S NOT FORGET THESE TW0 BACKED ROMNEY...WAITING IN THE WINGS TO BACK BIBI SYLVESTER STALLONE BATMAN AND THE TERMNATOR HIMSELF
14. "Fact" You didn't read about the Arab Spring in the Shomron
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (01.21.13)
because Chuck Norris rewound it.
15. Chuck Norris
Arie Stein ,   New Haven USA   (01.21.13)
This right winger and his wife made a video saying that the end of days would come if Obama was re-elected. Guess what. He was wrong. Just like he is wrong endorsing Bibi, the equivalent of a Tea Party candidtate on the right. I wouldn't be proud of this endoresment. I would be ashamed.
16. Past your sell by date Chuck
Mea   (01.22.13)
Israelis need to stop allowing every B star has been to get a push by meeting the President or endorsing anything. Norrises claim to fame in the expansive period of time between when the photo used in this ad and the present was to morph into a quasi ultra right ultra patriot NASCAR crowd pleaser suitable for endorsing the next House Rep from Kentucky backwoods, not the Prime Minister of Israel. This is as embarrassing as Peres allowing everybody from aging rock stars to pieces of crap has beens photo ops. Have some dignity, Israel, Norris is a chump who met his wife after she sent him a topless photograph of herself. Garbage.
17. who let all the hate-mongers out again?
Cyberbrain ,   Israel   (01.22.13)
Put your tinfoil helmets back on so we can see who you are.
18. To nr 4: Old Chuck knows probably more about...
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (01.22.13)
...Israeli politics than the average pseudo - intellectual, post nationalist ,moral relativist, hedonist ,Left Wing, Liberal, Socialist, multicultural, drug addicted European who "shivers" at the very thought of wars and violence while the Europeans themselves have butchered each others and the rest of the world for centuries. Good old Chuck probably has deeper insight into Israeli politics than the average American. He seems to be well informed of what's happening in Israel. Him being considered a B - movie action star doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't have the intellectual capacity to understand politics. Ronald Reagan too was a B movie actor and later on became the President of the USA.
19. Except he does not possess any off those traits...
Mea   (01.23.13)
Hilarious that people like you assume that simply because we don't buy some two bit has been rebranding his 15minutes into an overtime run posing as an authority on Israel simply because he supports Israel. It is (cup ear hear) preposterous! It makes Israel lol bad after the row about too much overstepping--that hurts Israel. This knucklehead and his wife are trying to poise themselves as players and as moralists. Sorry but I doubt this stupid display went down well. Israelis aren't interested in becoming like America, to their credit.
