the spoils. In this whirlpool it is hard to imagine a scenario in which our tiny Israel shall remain intact.
Maybe after all the "prophecies" of Doom&Gloom & Armageddon have been right? Europe is singing:

"Take me now, Prophet, here as I am
Pull me close: I'll understand
Desire for quiet is my guiding light
Jihad and Islam can now rule my life...."
3. Europe will not disappear
C   (07.21.17)
europe is in decline, but will continue to hang on.

it is crucial to differentiate the concept of liberal democracy from the
concept of open borders and what is referred to as multiculturalism.
liberal democracy is basically a form of government based on
the principles of the enlightenment and democracy.
open borders is a concept that is foreign to liberal
democracy. although there were always immigrants who
arrived in western europe, they were themselves europeans
and could not for the most part gain entry without passports
and visas. hence, those who arrived in western europe
shared mostly common values with their hosts.
since western europe has adopted the concept and practice
of open borders and as a result an unchecked multiculturalism,
many arrivals in western europe have different values and
religions than their hosts.
the problem with europe is that its leaders and the bureaucrats
in brussels have imposed on their populations ideas that were
born of misguided idealism combined with feelings of guilt.
it is totally untrue that peoples would be willing to
give up their national identities in the name of humanitarianism.
the vote for brexit was a vote against uncontrolled migration.
4. Europe will not disappear......
tiki ,   belgium   (07.21.17)
But will morph into the Caliphate West.

Like the Middle East used to be Judeo/Christian and morphed through violence into an Islamic sea.....so will Europe, the once free & liberal continent, become another pillar of Islam in the world..

The professor is right, this won't be good for Israel, but even worse for Europeans who's leaders bought this disaster upon themselves with their politically correct liberalism and "expertism" about Islam.

"Europe know best" is the ignorant & arrogant mantra that will bring about it's downfall..

Thank G-d that Bibi understands, warns and changes politics opposite Europe's arrogant politicians.
5. europe
tomer ,   jerusalem   (07.21.17)
Thanks to europe or better to thanks to the EU , had 70 years without
horrific wars.This is the greatest achievement one can think off. That a few
new,narrow minded political leaders do not like or see or understand this
is a dangerous development. But instead to cripple,to destroy and to belittle
europe those leaders should learn,listen and do everything in their power to
nurture,develop and connect europe even stronger. But this needs brains like
merkel,macron,junckers and a few others. The guys with "tribal" mentality
will torpedo this or at least they try. They will loose in the long term and their
people even more.
6. My prediction is that European fascists will genocide Muslim

7. Forbes has been wrong many times, quoting it is a mistake.
Michael ,   California, USA   (07.22.17)
If someone reads Forbes for "important opinions" the picture is far from objective. I wouldn't rely on it unless I only wanted to know what some Wall Street manipulators want. Manipulators who agree among themselves tend to like each other, we know that, which doesn't prove Netanyahu understands Europe. But seeking stronger bonds with European leaders is an important positive move on Netanyahu's part.
8. EU should go back to 10-12 countries
Avi L.   (07.23.17)
EU should go back to 10-12 countries.

It was only big business interest that brought to have countries with 200 dollar salary in order to keep control of delocalized production.

9. 'Liberal values?'
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (07.23.17)
When did 'liberalism' insist on including insanity?
Does 'liberalism' also include issuing more building tenders to more Arab pal terrorists?
Heaven forbid Israel should be called sane and not liberal.

Even liberalism has its limits. Any buliding tender to any Arab pal is nuts.

11. Stas BINGO!!
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (07.23.17)
If not for America and, yes our allies and Russia, all of Europe would be speaking German.

13. Europe's payback's a real bitch!
BUIDL BABY BUILD !!   (07.23.17)
By Europe's allowing aiding and abetting the death of 6 million Jews they are now being punished.

Not to be overly religious but, remember the 2nd commandment where in part it states,
"For I the Lord thy G-d am a jealous G-d, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
and shewing mercy unto the thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Think about it, I did.
Counting backwards fro WW11, the math fits perfectly with this promise. Don't mess with Israel she is G-ds chosen and cherished.

16. If Europe had disappeared
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (07.23.17)
Before WW11, 6 million Jews would not have been slaughtered.

Europe isn't just land, it's the home of anti semitism and beneath evil.
Let the fellow anti semites, the Muslims have it, it's become worthless as the UN.
That happens when Islam and formal anti semitism coexist.

( albeit coexist uneasily.)
17. the EU will be the next islamic stronghold
zionist forever   (07.25.17)
Islam is the fastest growing religion in the EU and probably over half Christians in western Europe do not practice even if they identify themselves as Christian.
Islam is growing like wildfire especially in France.
The Germans have taken in hundreds of thousands of Syrians and have done a deal with Turkey if they take in some of the refugees who are flooding Europe then EU membership for Turkey is possible so that would mean the EU had its first officially Islamic state as a member.
Jews need to be in Israel and if there had only been an Israel 80 years ago then there would be an extra 6 million Jews live today.
18. "Eat Drink & Be Merry For Tommow We Die" The West's Demise
NotOnlyEurope ,   Jerusalem Israel   (07.25.17)
Not only Europe but America and much of the population of Israel
in Tel Aviv and along the coastal areas of Israel and the Kibbutz
the secular Israeli ( Jews by accident of birth ) who care little
for anything other than there next immediate gratification where
Jewish history faith and pride play little or no part in their lives
and who live in a delirious delusional ghetto and only a few miles
away from their homes and families exists another reality that of millions
of devout Moslems where pride of their history and faith is a extremely
important component of their lives and believe the day will come
when they will push those same secular Jews into the sea those
that are still alive but the secular Israeli continues to "party"
relinquish the responsibility they were given to build a strong
and proud rebuilt Jewish Homeland after thousands of years
of persecution and slaughter in fact the worst in human
recorded history .As in history past Greece Rome and other
civilizations fooled themselves into believing that a valueless
society would endure for ever historians say a sort
of "Malaise" overtook those societies while just outside the door
were the hungry Barbarians who did have strong values
and the rest is tragic history .Is the West and Secular Israel
to have the same fate ? If Israel does not elect and soon
truly strong Jewish leaders who can turn things around it will be.
