31. If Iran crosses the "red line", Bibi is utterly worthless
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (07.31.13)
32. Talk is cheap
Shachar ,   Eilat   (07.31.13)
Everyone here knows exactly what to do in every situation. In the opposition Bibi had all the answers. Writing books, Bibi had all the answers. On the hot seat you face a whole different kettle of fish. You have to consider dozens of possible outcomes and you are not alone out there. When you don't have a clear policy you end up being dragged by the nose.
33. #27
David ,   New York, NY   (07.31.13)
I suggest you consult The Merriam-Webster dictionary or Wikipedia and will gain a better understanding of the word "super-power." You will discover that "super-power" is not defined purely in military terms but carries with it other important characteristics.
34. #17 not terrorists
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (07.31.13)
All 103 that Netanyahu is releasing have proudly admitted to murder. All have been convicted in court where they were represented by the best lawyers. Not one of the 5 prisoners that Obama is releasing has ever been charged, tried, found guily or sentenced for any crime, not even jay-walking.
35. to 4
JJ uk/Israel   (07.31.13)

37. to 125
JJ uk/Israel   (07.31.13)

38. 22 i agree with you a 100 %
JJ uk/Israel   (07.31.13)
releasing the prisoners was a stupid act knowing they return where they leave off.. while the families CRY the loss of their loved ones . shame
39. #1
KngJsusregnsinIsrl ,   Southfield Mi   (08.01.13)
Yes one day because the U.S. goes against God's heart. She will pay dearly for having an illegal muslim in the White House. He claims the White House is his.
40. #20. Israeli support of Fictional Palestine an obscenity.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.02.13)
Never before, in all of human history, has a state voluntarily supported its enemies. Regardless of what the Obama regime says; there is NO excuse for Israel to shower our genocidal "Palestinian" foes with money, food, medicine, materials and electricity. EVERY single good Jew, patriotic Israeli and friend of Israel should demand the IMMEDIATE end of this incredibly evil obscenity.
41. To N 40, Chaim.
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (08.03.13)
Dear Chaim, I think that your government is giving a last chance for a honoured peace. Israel shows her greatness and her dignity. But if the "other side" refuses the offer again, I will agree with you. No one country, in the world, may let be endangered its existence and its sovereignty.
42. To number 40 How many times for the "Last Time" ?
Ari ,   Jerusalem   (08.03.13)
Should Israel show her dignity and greatness for an honored peace, before a catastrophe occurs? Israel showed Magnanimity at Oslo, then at the talks between Arafat and Barak- Also between Olmert and Abbas. Israel showed Magnanimity when Retired from Gaza. LebanonĀ“s withdrawal was another futile decision. a thorn in the heart of Israel. . All these Magnanimity, hasn't even been seen by the world. The EU wants to boycott and force Israel borders, favoring the Palestinians, even though they are not united in peace talks with Israel.. The EU is giving them a prize before hand. Who needs honor like this. I wish I am wrong, but after Israel will liberate those murderers, something will happen and Palestinians will withdraw from the Table. And the blame game will still be in Israel's courtyard.
43. to no 22 US has also released Guantanamo Prisoners ...
(08.03.13)
in order to succeed in talks with the Taliban. US Jews are the ones pressing Netanyahu for "painful" concessions You and and number 38 should get your facts right.
44. No Good Reasons
A Simple Jew ,   Beer Sheva   (09.18.13)
Barnea says that the only explanation for this "tormenting", "humiliating" release is that our international standing is lower. No country ever surrendered to an implacable enemy to improve its international standing, until now. Of course, the improvement in our international position will disappear the moment we stop conceding strategic assets. Therefore, these talks are a obviously a suckers move.
