1. Netanyahu versus Rabbi 'Wise'
Zechariah   (03.04.15)
In Saul Friedlanders : The Years of Extermination page 304 he writes -'In the spring of 1941 Rabbi 'Wise' had decided to impose a complete embargo on all aid sent to Jews in occupied countries in compliance with the US government's Economic boycott of Axis Powers '-'despite the fact that these packages did usually reach their destination ,the Jewish Self-Help Association in Warsaw '-.Who cares about Netanyahu's Flaws - He had the Guts to go to Congress to Defend his People and Warn the World to be Vigilant and Tough .
2. Netanyahu
Jo ann ,   Greensboro NC USA   (03.04.15)
I was glad to hear that Netanyahu would go it alone re Iran. Does this mean that he will not accept any more US aid, we could sure use the money here.
3. Wondering which Obama NGO is funding this windbag
Al   (03.04.15)
Obama is directly and indirectly trying to influence the Israeli election. Witness the endless non-sensical articles trying to derail Netanyahu. Herzog and his Circus clowns may just win the election as they're trying to pander to the Haredi schnorers with promises of no draft for the Yeshiva boys. Great...Iran will have the bomb and the Yeshiva boys will cry to Hashem as they asses go up in a nuclear Holocaust. 70 years after Auschwitz and the Jews have learned nothing. Pray for Israel should Herzog win the election. Israel will be a memory.
4. The Left are in shock at Netanyahu's success
(03.04.15)
thus their dribble.
5. no mandates and no ego boost
(03.04.15)
The address to Congress will not change any Israeli voters mind, and Netanyahu hardly needs an ego boost. Maybe Ben-Yishai doesn't understand it, but Netanyahu really thinks that a nuclear Iran is a bad thing.
6. bb
Simon Marriott ,   ישראל   (03.04.15)
To me trhis is a sad day for the what used to be the Israeli right. 25 years of anti Iranian rehtoric that culminates in this luke warm speech that vhad nothing new to say. The Republicans had tyo clap loudly, they invited him ,but the T-Party must be turning to each other wondering why theyt bothered. Likjud is now too vcentrist for true right wingers. Where do thoise of us who belive in a strong Israel go; Lieberman, Bennet. This is a sad day.

10. 2 seats and an ego boost?
tiki ,   belgium   (03.04.15)
We'll see! But just imagine a shrieking Buji standing there trying to impress the American congress. That my friends would be pure embarrassment for Israel, it's people and it's case!
11. handouts
john ,   toronto   (03.04.15)
Israel does not need to go for handouts to anyone. Israel has a knesset and that is where cases should be handled.
12. Al,Bibi made the same promise
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (03.04.15)
Politicians are realists,They know you can bring horses to the water but you can't make them drink. Al,you have good comments ,if only you could show some respects towards Haredim. I live with them,through my children most are fine people. Purim Sameah,Al.
