CONFUCIUS ,   SAFED CHINA   (11.29.15)
Do not allow any man to spit on you ,and then declare that it is raining.
3. IT IS GOOD TO SEE ..
DR ORTHEOPAEDIC ,   SAFED ORTHOPEDIC   (11.29.15)
So good to see that Netanyahu has grown a spine ,and good luck to him .
4.  ACT TOUGH ,AND NO REGRETS
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (11.29.15)
NOBODY will ever dare to label Putin or boycott Russia ,they are too damned scared to ever contemplate that.
5. Good Start, but not enough
Eric R. ,   USA   (11.29.15)
The Ambassador to the EU as well as those to some of the more virulently Jew-hating countries in the EU should be recalled and not sent back until this Nazi labelling law is removed.
6. The E.U. has found yet another tyrant to bow to!
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.29.15)
Bibi is taking a small step in the right direction. The EU. has no business interfering in Israeli affairs, as Israel doesn't interfere in E.U. affairs. Not one E.U. initiative has been good for Israel. The E.U. has found yet another tyrant to bow down to: Radical Islam.
7. Who said that the Jews are smart ,...
split   (11.29.15)
This dude should do what most of his homies are good at on Delancey St. in NYC, he should tend some street stall with fake jewelry not to run a country ,...
8. Peddling BS because Israelis buy it ,...
split ,... ,   US   (11.29.15)
If Israeli economy is strong as you say than why do you need US and German handouts for or why do the old and sick are living in misery neglected and forgotten ? ,... What about dignity? ,...
9. Netanyahu ...Alienating One Nation At A Time
Left Wing Israeli ,   Haifa   (11.29.15)
Quoting the article: "Netanyahu called the decision "hypocritical," saying it was indicative of a double standard. "The EU has decided to label only Israel, and we are not prepared to accept the fact that Europe is labeling the side that is being attacked by terrorism," The EU is not being hypocritical at all. Israel is the country occupying the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Sheba Farms and the Golan Heights. Go back to the accepted borders. Otherwise be treated as the pariah state that you currently are.
10. Netanyahu, excellent move
C   (11.29.15)
the eu needs israel more than israel needs the eu, for sure. israel should stop giving the eu intelligence without which the eu cannot survive.
11. Erdogan, Putin and Netanyahu
Michael ,   Haifa   (11.29.15)
The three stooges who try to scare the world with their pathetic little tricks
12. Cart before the horse

Alright everyone. Let's settle down and take a deep breath and come to our senses. For all the folks in Israel who are on the right side of the political theater, I can't stop laughing at all your comments here about how brave Bibi is. May be it will be better for you to revisit all the past incidents of chest beating from Bibi and notice every time how he had folded after a few days. Let's give Bibi some room for his 15 mins worth of fame (chest beating, huffing and puffing and blow the house down....) and watch him fold like a lawn chair in a week. For the right leaning people's hope of Bibi growing a pair, I admire your strong desire of Bibi having a pair but let's just stop fooling yourselves. Let's look, Bibi is for building everywhere, but wait, now he is for freeze. He wants to eradicate terror, but wait, he is for ceasefire with Hamas. He wants to cut off the money for terror and wait again he folds and transfers money to PA. Is the right in Israel that gullible? Keep dreaming of Bibi growing a pair, but everyone knows Sarah has a bigger pair than him and do not mean as a disrespect to Sarah. What I mean is Sarah can stand up to pressure and not fold like Bibi. All the folks on the right, enjoy your dream for a few days until Bibi folds next week as we all know EU is Israel's trade lifeline. Sorry to disappoint you all but may be I will come back again as post "I told you so" as soon as Bibi folds.
13. INTELLIGENCE
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (11.29.15)
GIVE EUROPE NO INTELLIGENCE, AFF MILAH, NIYENTIE. LET THEM GO DOWN THE TOILET, BECAUSE THATS THE WAY THEY ARE GOING. AMEN SMEN AMEN.
14. more preconditions for peace talks ?
Barney Rubble ,   EU   (11.29.15)
Bibi has quite a lot of preconditions for a guy who says he doesn't like them in his peace talks.
15. IRAQ AFGHANISTAN
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (11.30.15)
NO 12 YOU MUST BE PROUD OF OBAMA YOUR PRESIDENT, WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE ARABS AND THE WAY THEY THINK. TALK ABOUT YOUR OWN COUNTRY NO 12. 10 OR 12 YEARS FIGHTING IN IRAQ HA HA. USA ALL TALK, RATHER LIKE THE BRITISH, EVERYTHING AMERICA DOES WE COPY THEM LOG LIVE ISRAEL WE DONT NEED EUROPE DONT GIVE EUROPE ANY TRADE. CANCEL ALL TRADE AGREEMENTS.

16. no good reason israel should be the only sucker out there
ralph   (11.30.15)
17. France suspended human rights
Avi L.   (11.30.15)
France suspended human rights, let's boycott them, no more cheese, no more wine, no more cheeky politicians giving human right lessons to everybody.
18. The chaotic Europeans...........cheap & weak.....
Calabi ,   Sydney Aust   (11.30.15)
Wars like those of nazsi, italians and japs cannot be applied to the 21st century Israel/Jews. Having not to, a fallen pride trying to cover their faces in desperation playing cheap politics. France an example of evil and exploitation in Cameroon, even a screwwww must be imported through these slavers! A bully and an evil demonic commander to get the weak. In this case Israel look weak in size they try to devour. Brave Bibi is facing these Goliaths. Don't worry time will come they will have their own problems then too weak to look into Israel affairs.
19. Long Overdue....It's a 2 way street
Shep ,   Memphis, TN - USA   (11.30.15)
The arrogance of the EU is only exeeded by the hypocrisy that it practices against Israel vis-a-vis the Palestinians. Good for Israel!!!
20. Cutting off your nose to spite your face
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (11.30.15)
The simple REALITY is while Europe can import products from the entire world and has many, many trade partners, the same CAN NOT be said about Israel. Israel makes nothing unique that can not easily be obtained from a wide number of other sources (queue delusions about Intel, etc.). There is no "magic" Asian market for any products as American business people have learned to their displeasure. The more Israel anger directed at Europe, the worse the Israeli economy will become. Think carefully about what future you want and realize that Israel is a very small, powerless country.
21. #12:As you know, transplanting "a pair" doesn't always "take
(11.30.15)
that's why we're often having Bibi folding like a lawn chair.... :-). But us, right wingers are hopelessly optimistic.
22. #9 left wing Israeli
Don Saliman ,   Kibbutz Nahal Oz   (11.30.15)
I suggest you get ready to pack, because as far as the Arabs are concerned Haifa is"occupied territory"
23. #7 And YOU, polska shitsky, should do what your homeskys
A ,   Belgium   (11.30.15)
are good at: unstopping toilets, collecting garbage, and decorating red lighted windows.
24. finally!!!!!!
tiki ,   belgium   (11.30.15)
The right decisions for arrogant racists!
