1. THE EU ENTITY IS NOT RECOGNIZED BY SOME OF ITS OWN MEMBERS
EZEKIAL HAIM ,   LONDON   (04.19.16)
Britain is holding a referendum about its EU membership and other countries might well follow.The EU DOES NOT REPRESENT ANYONE.Mogherini will soon be gone into the abiss.Israel will still be in the Golan.Mogherini ,stop blowing hot air up and down,you are contributing to global warming.
2. Israel doesn't recognize the...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (04.19.16)
occupation of for example Alsace
3. Who gives a FF from the EU and
DT ,   TA Israel   (04.19.16)
"weepy" Mogherini
4. fully annex Golan, make it administratively part of Israel
Rafi ,   US   (04.19.16)
The long-standing rationale by multiple Israeli govts for not fully annexing the Golan - as a possible bargaining chip in possible peace treaty with Syria - no longer exists... because SYRIA NO LONGER EXISTS ! Forget it, move forward: Golan should be made fully part of Israel. That is the best response to a meddling and pandering EU. EU needs to deal w/ a multitude of its OWN problems - not give Israel advice.
5. the EU should have the same kind of buffer
Berk ,   Amsterdam   (04.19.16)
in order to protect us from all kind of infiltrators and terrorists.
6. Heaven forbid..,,
Susan ,   US   (04.19.16)
....after 3,000 years of being chased from here to there; literally robbed of birthright and place, one would think the world would once and for all leave Jews alone. After all why not other countries give back lands they won fair and square??? Having said that the age old 'obsession' --- the very WORST most pernicious form of OCD against Jews is alive and well! (Following said in tongue/cheek) Yes, give back back that buffer of protection so once and for all the world can rid themselves of Jews. For all the evil brought against others in this world and ignored, the idea of inherently picking on Jews is first and foremost. I truly believe Antisemitism is at it's worst in 50 years!
7. The EU surrending to Islam.
Tova ,   Canada   (04.19.16)
Europe is so afraid of Islamic Terrorism that is needs Israel to fall apart. Europe will continue to have terrorist attacks. And Israel will continue is protecting Israel. The United States/Canada will also pressure Israel to surrender. Islam is the new Nazism. Netanyahu is the Prime Minister who an stand up to these Islamic Threats. War is coming and Israel will remain
8. return of Golan heights
Alex ,   Migdal Israel   (04.19.16)
I would like to know why does the EU &UN& US recognize Kaliningrad as part of Russia when it was Kenigsberg German Port before WW2 What about Portorico it was Spanish and not US let them ask Putin to return Krimea. They think because Israel is a small country they can dictate like to a little child??? It's about time the government of Israel stop being polite. The world already proved they don't care if 6mln more will be killed.
9. EU CAN TAKE A HIKE
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (04.19.16)
10. who the hell cares about the eu
jeffery   (04.19.16)
israel could destroy the EU if it had to. so maybe the europeans should shut up. we have had 6 years of netanyahu, herzog and lapid. it is enough weakness. people have to survive. they have to eat, and defend and attack when necessary. jews refuse to attack, refuse to vanquish their enemies. even now yaalon worries more about moraity than finishing the enemy. jews cannot survive this way. do you want to kill nazis or be killed by them. the last 6 years of netanyahu, the jews want to be killed. bibi blusters but in his heart he is 100% gutless just as lieberman, bennett and others know him to be. after all of his bluster,c oncessions, eu and usa say golan not part of israel., bibi is finished. who the hell needs their permission. they can go to hell.
11. US state department and golan
jay   (04.19.16)
if the US tries to forcce israel to give up the golan, it better send 500000 troops to fight israel fully armed and backed,. it will face 1 million israei soldiers with reserves, 500 planes, all kinds of ships and all conceivable defense systems. \as for john kerry, it looks like swift boaters knew this empty windbag for what he is. he can go to bloody hell.
12. russian, USA , EU and golan
beryl   (04.19.16)
putin spooks american ships and planes, pressures europe and so they together run and hide from putin by attacking israeli statements of keeping golan forever. They always pick on israel. why? Because also israel under netanyahu acts weak. bibi doesn't realize the weakness he projects. israel needs to replace him with bennett or feiglin and the the world would think twice about making statements on the golan. bibi is WEAK.His father is rolling over in his grave.
13. Mogherini who?
tiki ,   belgium   (04.19.16)
Mogherini, the non elected 'foreign chief of the United Chaos called EU doesn't recognize? Well....tough!
14. Christian Europe, graveyard of the Jewish people
C   (04.19.16)
your opinions are irrelevant. the golan will remain an integral part of the sovereign jewish state of israel.
15. Europe willl never again dictate to Jews
C   (04.19.16)
the sovereign jewish state of israel will never accept european meddling in her affairs.
16. Israel should build a second Knesset Bldg in the Golan
Shep ,   Memphis, TN - USA   (04.19.16)
Israel should build a second Knesset building in the Golan in defiance of this Int'l pressure and hold regular spring and fall meeting there going forward. Furthermore, Israel should condemn the U.S. government's occupation of Indian lands and demand it be returned to the tribes. Israel should demand that Gibraltar be returned to Spain and the Falklands to Argentina. The list of demands could go on and on. What we are witnessing is the capitulation of the West to Arab demands......not because of oil. It is just because the West feels they have nothing to lose by giving Israel away, piece by piece. If they could give Jerusalem away - they would. If they could give the Israeli cities in the West Bank away, they would. Israel will only continue to exist if Israel REFUSES these demands which will surely get louder as the EU becomes Islamisized. As soon as we get the Islamist in chief out of Office, the better for the USA
17. Funny Federica
Gabe ,   Canada   (04.19.16)
She should know what happened around Fiume in Northern Italie as a result of Italian aggression. What an ingorant woman !
18. reward for Bashar al-Assad from Europe and White house
j4rd4 ,   Prague, Czech Rep.   (04.19.16)
for genocide of Syrian people. Bad news about euroamerican leftist establishment and their foreign blindness. Sorry for that.
19. The EU should go back to the European Borders before WW2
Zev ,   Israel   (04.20.16)
Only the Jews have to return its land that it liberated in a war that was forced on them.
20. Anyone But Israel
MadDad ,   Johannesburg RSA   (04.20.16)
The 40's armistice lines - which the Arabs swore are not the borders - is as far as the EU is prepared to go in support of the Jews. It doesn't matter even that although the EU wants Assad to go, he should have them. They belong to the Syrian people - whoever they are (ask Sykes Picot) Another failed EU policy at work
21. Reference Britain and france
David zeitouni ,   Raanana israel   (04.20.16)
Britan and france divided the middle east they made big mistake and events are going to haunt them if moslem is killing moslem like in syria and Irak what chance have the christians or the jews wake up europe you will be the next target in your own country who will help israel Good will bless who doesnt will be the looser
22. Brilliant
Yona ,   NYC usa   (04.20.16)
So the only peaceful place in what was Syria should be turned over to the Syrian government so it can murder tens of thousands of Syrians or perhaps to ISIS so it can murder thens of thousands of its fellow Arabs. Yes..very smart. Take the peaceful Golan Heights and make it a field of death. Brilliant EU. Just brilliant.
23. EU recognize turkish occupation of Cyprus?
Avi L.   (04.20.16)
EU recognize turkish occupation of Cyprus? Turkey invaded, occupied, ethnically cleansed and implemented a population substitution in Cyprus. Do they dare to say anything to sultan Erdogan?
24. Though all of humanity stands opposed
US citizen ,   US   (04.20.16)
Israel will remain, thanks be to the One who is more than mere dying human like all of us.
25. In today's newspaper was a big article entitled
A ,   Belgium   (04.20.16)
"Brussel is dood". If the "capital" city and headquarters of the European Union is considered dead (thanks in part to the recent islamic terrorist attack), what does that say about the rest of the European Unmportants and its islamic poodle Mogherini?
26. what would happen.........
willy ,   us   (04.20.16)
if Israel returned the Golan? Look what has happened in Sinai for the answer.
27. Return of Golan Heights
Lorral ,   Waynesboro U.S.   (05.10.16)
I am part of this world and I care whether the Golan is given back to the Arabs, I refuse to call them anything else and I care whether even one more Jew is killed, because it breaks my heart!
