9 Talkbacks for this article
1. He will be popular again supporting the peace agreement.
Michael ,   California, USA   (03.05.14)
In preparation for this agreement, Netanyahu is posturing himself as independent of the American administration. Well, why not, if it will make some waves in Israel. Actually, Netanyahu has to show a streak of independence to better gain acceptance among the 70% of Israelis who are in favor of the peace proposal which will be formalized soon.
2. Stay strong Bibi we here in the USA are behind you.

3. but you forgot
(03.05.14)
The fact that Netanyahu continuously harps on his support for a new Arab state in Judea and Samaria means he has moved far left from Likud voters who are unanimously against such a stupid step.
4. #1 where do you get your information from?
Larry ,   Or Yehuda   (03.05.14)
As yet, I have not found a single person who is in favor. There are very few Israelis who are brain dead enough to even think that the proposal is good.
5. Article contradicts itself
Shalom ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.05.14)
Bibi failed to inspire but got 12 standing ovations? One of his weakest speeches but the article ticks off point after point that Bibi got right? Is the author schizophrenic? Or maybe someone respectful of Bibi wrote the article, then someone who hates him inserted remarks.
6. #2 Too bad you are such an obvious fake
A ,   Belgium   (03.05.14)
The REAL Graysack is a rabid anti-semite who hates anything related to Israel or Judaism. Obviously traumatised by a beating he may have recieved from a little girl back on the hog farm in rural Poland, he refers to himself as a "Christian", yet hates the people his messiah supposedly came from. Don't humiliate yourself by falsely hiding behind Graysacks name, use your real name.
7. ben Ishai's mistake re how PM sees boycott movement
Jack Schwartz ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.05.14)
"boycotts that are, according to Netanyahu, anti-Semitism disguised as anti-Israel sentiment." Ron Ben Ishai makes a mistake here. In fact, Netanyahu said that the boycott movement was anti-Semitism disguised under human rights slogans.
8. Heheh ,...
split ,   US   (03.05.14)
Half of the speech was bitching at BDS, that means it works ,... Also it looks like the crowd is harder to impress that a year ago ,...
9. Hasbara Cadabara.."I create as I speak" magic words, trick
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.06.14)
