1. Any chance to belittle Christians, jews will seize.
American Observer   (12.31.16)
2. "Friendly countries"
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (12.31.16)
If those are friendly countries we don't need any enemies.

The MFA didn't go far enough - should have handed them expulsion orders as well
3. Israel build more
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (12.31.16)
and be sure and name each new 'settlement' after the nations who voted against them.
Be sure and name the garbage dump
'obama.'
4. what would herzog have done, what would lapid have done
ed   (12.31.16)
he would have thanked john kerry for being a true freind of israel. he would call abbas in ramallah and tell him he will attack peace talks. herzog would announce that he is prepared to return west bank,, give gaza a port, give east jerusalem and appoint a 5 country committee to decide on holy spots like the kotel.

lapid would have protested the UN resolutio. he would have arranged peace talks with abbas and invited egypt and saudi arabia to be a guarantor lapid woulld also give up 96% of west bank, east jerusalm except for the kotel, and given a link through israell to joiin west bank and gaza.

here you have it so. herzog and lapid are israelis born and bred. israelis cannot say it is them,not us. youj vote for them and even give lapid the lead in the latest poll. israelis especially the media are a bunch of shmucks that sign israel's death warrrant day after day. lapid is nothing but another olmert.

israel will be 100x worse off with such deals proposed by these 2 disconnected fools.
5. Mr Netenyahu .....
Bertram ,   London, UK.   (12.31.16)
,,,,, suddenly saw his foot and then shot it.
6. Anti-Israel propaganda in Israeli news
Emet   (12.31.16)
Itamar Eichner, your open anti-Israel bias is not news-worthy and you have shown hostile bias against Israel in the incident that was PRECIPITATED nothing short of UN and the said nations deciding that half your counry does not belong to you... Such awfully sad thing when one forgets forgets whose side he is on ....
7. Mr.
Lawrence A Dickerson ,   Bremerton   (12.31.16)
I, along with the rest of the world, am so disgusted at the continued child-like temper tantrums of Israel while expecting nothing but ultra-favorable pampering from the entire world. Children should expect to be chastised whenever they act out. It is time that Israel acts like an adult in their affairs. In order to have good neighbors, one has to act neighborly.
8. Display of childish behavior
Jacob Edelman ,   NYC- NY   (12.31.16)
It is obvious that Israeli Foreign Ministry relishes insulting diplomatic representations whose mother countries spend a lot of time and effort to accommodate the irrational and illegal activities of a country that claims to represent the rule of law and democracy in the Middle East.
9. Like with "Zionism is Racism" UNSC will be forced to reverse
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (12.31.16)
The era of unrestrained Muslim hell holes doing anything they want will be over with President Trump
10. Inside UNSC's Hanukka anti Israel resolution
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (12.31.16)
eye for an eye
11. Mr Natanyahu
LION OF JUDAH   (01.01.17)
Bertram: Natanyahu is great PM, but in fact Israel needs PM with heavy
hands like the late Menahem Begin and Ishak Shamir who dont give monkey
to no one, Now a days dipolmacy dont work especially in the M/E
12. talk about shooting yourself in the foot...
Rafi ,   US   (01.01.17)
All Israel is succeeding in accomplishing is further isolating itself from the world, including its own friends. Then Bibi & his right-wing hysterionics will on cue cry "anti- Semitism"...

As usual, what this however is REALLY about is the Netanyahu govt grand-standing to their political base, trying to APPEAR to be doing something useful in the face of the massive diplomatic defeat the latest govt policies have brought upon the State of Israel.
