1. Too many words, lofty citates for a simple, plain to see
(10.16.14)
truth: Obama & his gang of fools in the White House have been openly supporting Islamic domination scheme from day one. It is consistent, logical and the only explanation, for what has transpired in the world in the short span of 6+ years. The damage will take tens of years to repair (or one short afternoon & 2-4 nuclear devices solidly planted on Muslim soil!)
2. Islam and the Koran
Sagi   (10.15.14)
are incompatible with democracy. The Koran and its followers will never change and the values of democracy will never change, ergo no Arab state will ever be a true democracy. The exact same can be said of the Torah and Israel. Democracy starts at the ballot box but the ensuing road is full of pitfalls. The koran and the Torah are hurdles on the road which cannot be overcome. The incompatibility is insurmountable.
3. Immorality
Raptor   (10.15.14)
Sending US soldiers to fight and die in other people's wars, now that is immorality.
4. "While Israel was fighting a war against Hamas" ,...
split ,   US   (10.15.14)
What war? ,... You mean a regular army with A1 battle tanks, air force with drones, F16's, Black Hawks choppers equipped with newest electronics, armed with new generation guided rockets against ragtag resistance made of few desperate men and boys with Kalashnikovs and flying gutters? ,... Don't compliment yourself ,...
5. More on so called 'war' ,...
split ,   US   (10.15.14)
Warsaw ghetto fighters had more advantage fighting Nazis than Hamas fighting IDF in Gaza - WWII Warsaw ghetto Jews had Kalashnikovs some Faustpatrones and Panzerfausts the Nazis on the other hand didn't have A1 battle tanks, air force with drones, F16's, Black Hawks choppers equipped with newest electronics, armed with new generation guided rockets not to mention unlimited number of ground forces to secure their 'victory' ,... If you check the damage inflicted on the aggressor Hamas look pretty impressive comparing with Ghetto resistance results but that's another subject for another day ,... Going back to your 'beef' with US stay and continue we shouldn't go there and screw up existing order in the first place. This post-colonial mess was possible to sustain with limited control by regimes like the one of Saddam's or Khadafy's ,... You can blame your neo-con homies and not so bright previous president not Obama ,...
6. boots on the ground
Moshe ,   T/A Israel   (10.15.14)
Why not ask the same question of our Government who turned large portions of Gaza into a sand pit rather than put boots on the ground. Generals may see the need for Boots on the Ground but politicians see only ratings If we had put boots on the Ground and confronted Hamas it is possible the World would not have turned its back on us as it is now. Lets put our own house in order before giving grand advice please write to Netanayu and ask him the same very question Moshe
7. No more American blood or treasure to liberate Iraq Again.
James Loughton ,   USA   (10.17.14)
Volunteers from the local area are welcome to proceed without us.
8. YOU ERR !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (10.17.14)
I Quote - Subservient societies do not easily transition to become autonomous. Freedom is not just a state of being, it is a state of mind. One can be physically free yet mentally enslaved. One cannot just take societies that have been enslaved to a dictator for centuries and give them democracy in the belief that freedom will reign and that the newly liberated society will put their lives on the line to defend their liberties. Comment - The Iraki people is Mentaly enslaved by ISLAM for more than a Millenium. They will never be free. Only Death can free them. And Death by Gog and Magog will do just that - Daniel chapter 11 verses - 44 But reports from the east and north will alarm him, and in a great rage he will set off to devastate and destroy many. 45 He will pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain. But he will come to his end, and no one will help him. Comment - The Sunni Caliphate will be replaced by a Shia One by Al-Mahdi. The only comfort is that the Word of HASHEM comes True, HE rules the World supreme. Arn.Sweden.
9. Nr 2. You Err !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (10.17.14)
The Torah following, is a Democratic choise by the Israeli people, who by One Voice said Yes to it under the Leadership of Moses. The Torah Following is a Free choise, as in todays israel, and is not incompatible with Freedom in Rightousness. Democracy is not the same as Freedom or even righgtousness, its only the Dictatorship of the Mayority. Torah is only a Container holding the Peoples/Nations sins in check., as according to HASHEM. Arn.Sweden.
10. Nr.2. The Torahfollowes will partly save Israel -
Arn. ,   Sweden   (10.17.14)
- from utter destruction !. 4 “Remember ye the Law of Moses, My servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. From - Malachi 4 “For behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly shall be stubble. And the day that cometh shall burn them up,” saith the Lord of hosts, “that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings; and ye shall go forth and grow up as calves from the stall. 3 And ye shall tread down the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this,” saith the Lord of hosts. 4 “Remember ye the Law of Moses, My servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. 5 “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the land with a curse.” Arn.Sweden.
11. Nr 9. You Err... What's hashem?
(10.18.14)
12. "This article is not meant to be an attack on the president"
N ,   N   (10.19.14)
Granted, the article is not a vicious ad personam attack. But it is a vigorous and unequivocal attack on the actions of the president of the US and therefore this (half) sentence is in glaring contradiction to the rest of the article.
