BUT NOT ANYMORE   (03.04.09)

GEOPOLITICAL BARRIER   (03.05.09)
34. Right On, MK Eldad!
Brana Lobel ,   Israel   (03.04.09)
Yasher koach! You hit the nail on the head. And if you or your helpers read this, I am sorry that I missed the hillulah of Moshe Rabeinu in Yerikho, as when I found out you were attending, it added more credibility to his unknown burial place.
35. STATE and MORAL !!!.
Orao Stranka. ,   Tsarigrad u Srbia.   (03.04.09)
AS SOMEONE SAID - STATES DO NOT HAVE MORAL, THEY ONLY HAVE INTERESTS. THIS IS WERY TRUE. Orao.
36. What Did You Expect
Dan ,   USA   (03.05.09)
Hillary Clinton no longer needs New York City's Jewish vote to be the senator from N.Y. Barack Hussein Obama, the closet Muslim who may not even be a naturalized American citizen,, no longer needs the votes of Jewish liberals to be the president. Now we can see them both as they always were...anti Jewish and anti Israel. Hillary's husband was willing to sell out Israel to Arafat. Obama sat in the Rev. Wright's church for 19 years and listened to him rant against Jews. What do you expect. Jews keep voting for Democrats, like FDR was still alive, and keep being sold out by these same Democrats, including FDR. I'll never understand it.
37. response to # 13
Sandy Browning ,   Tiger   (03.05.09)
David, With our New Govt you have a right to believe America is no friend of Israel..but many millions of Americans strongly support Israel and are praying daily for her re: Psalm 122. Be encouraged Read Psalm 83.
38. MK Eldad:The voice of reality...
Debra ,   UK   (03.05.09)
in the delusional world of politics. The irony is that the West and Islam have nothing in common other than their focus on Israel, if Israel is not around they will be fighting each other to destruction.
39. Why Eldad doesn't write what to do with the Palestinians???
Concerned citizen   (03.05.09)
40. Until Israel has people like Eldad there is hope.
GZ ,   USA   (03.05.09)
In general reading Israel related news, opinion peaces, and articles is an activity so depressing as to be dangerous to one's health. This letter by Dr. Eldad is a rare and welcome exception. We need to be reminded more often that besides the leftist scum, dimwitted "experts" and unprincipled opportunists of every variety there are in Israel many honest and smart patriots. Until Israel has people like Eldad there is hope.
41. Hillary doesn't care about American interests
Rami   (03.05.09)
She is an internal enemy of the USA, and has no wish than to speed up its destruction. She is also a vicious anti-semite whose anger, like Rice's will become more and more apparent as Israel resists her futile attempts to urge Israel to commit suicide.
42. Respect our wishes
paul schnek ,   jaksonheights US   (03.05.09)
Dear Mr.Eldad!Do not expect any decent action from the feckless Clintons.WhileMr.Clinton was well aware that the massmurderer Arafat personally ordered two American diplomats murdered among others, he wellcomed him to the Witehouse more than any legitimate head of states.Besides he made it a whore house.Hillary stood by him,and she was kissing up with Suha.Be courageous,and tell her to get lost
43. Article - Respect Our Wishes
Jim Smoak ,   USA   (03.05.09)
A most excellent article - thank you. I am an American (non-Jew) and I care very much about the nation and people of Israel. I love my country, but we are not to be trusted to act in Israel's best interest. I hope Israel will unify even more and pay no attention to the world's opinion. Tap into the power that is yours - the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Again, America is not the friend that we pretend to be. As a nation, I am convinced that we will let you down in your darkest hour.
44. Sandy #37
Steve   (03.05.09)
I voted for George W. Bush in 2000 because he said he was a Christian. Bush turned against Israel after 9/11, calling for the establishment of a Muslim-terror state in Israel. I believe David is right. America is turning solidly against Israel. Bush made the establishment of a Muslim state in Israel a formal goal of U.S. policy. Nevertheless, conservatives stood by Bush. Now we have Obama who is much worse than Bush. With Israel, Obama has adopted Bush's anti-Israel policies..
45. Eldad may write letters...
Realist   (03.05.09)
but it is still the US that writes the cheques!
46. #23
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.05.09)
World citizen either you are clueless or very naive.The President of Iran has said many times that Iran wants to WHIPE ISRAEL OFF THE WORLD MAP, Trust us to slove out own problems without your interference.
47. # 24
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.05.09)
Rudoph Ferro, thanks for your vote of confidence for the Israeli people. True we are the chosen people.
48. # 25
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.05.09)
Sandy Browning, good post & thanks for seeing the true light.
49. #39 what do other countries do with minorities? divide land?
all can live i peace   (03.05.09)
50. The end of humanism?
RobertS ,   Wiesbaden Germany   (03.05.09)
Well, Israeli democracy has spoken 2009 and the Palestinian democracy 2006:: Most Israeli citizens do not wish to establish an Arab terror state in our homeland. And most Palestinian subjects do not want to let Israel be the only state in Palestine, a state that is getting more an more attracted by apartheid and fascist visions. I, as a Jew and Israeli, urge Ms. Clinton and Mr. Obama to show Israel where its political, military, financial ans economic limits are. It's not US disregarding the Israeli democracy, it's the omnipotent and omnipresent Israeli and Jewish lobby that demonstrates day in, day out it's disrespect for the will of American citizens
51. You ask Clinton for respect?? Hahahahahahaha!
secede Texas & Okla. ,   from socialist USA!   (03.05.09)
Clinton respects nothing except that which furthers her career! She has an unquenchable thirst for power that will only be satisfied when she becomes the most powerful woman the world has ever known. If bankrupting the U.S. Treasury helps her achieve her lust for power... she can't do it fast enough! Respect from Clinton? Ha! What do you want next? Pigs to fly?
52. Don't ever expect her to change. She's just like Peres.
Moshe ,   Sao Paulo   (03.05.09)
53. Keep at it!
Sabi Zakila ,   Jerusalem   (03.05.09)
Some of you Israelis, particularly the right wing in you, are so arrogant that you constantly fail to get your point across to those who oppose you or think differently than you... This condescending attitude and this notion of superiority that you have, as though you know what's best for you and continue to preach to others, will continue to isolate you and label you as a pariah state in the eyes of the international community. Have you ever tried to live side by side with a Palestinian state? NO. Yet, with all confidence you predict its failure. This paranoia within you is your potion for continued diplomatic failure, with everyone, including your friends and allies. You are too myopic to see how the future is shaping up. You have two equations that you need to consider: Don't give a state to Palestinians = Reinforcing Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Give the Palestinians a viable state = Prove to people that through dialogue things can be accomplished. If when a Palestinian state emerges, attacks continue, then I believe you have a strong enough army to take it all back, right? Then you can prove that your theory was right. Einstein's theory applies to you as well by the way, because you are constantly reverting to military force to strike your enemies in the hope that their attacks will end or they will learn their lesson or even seize to exist, yet they always come back stronger. This is beyond madness, this is obsession.
54. Israel has no right to decide for the Palistinians
(03.05.09)
Palistinian state is now the has to be decided by the Palistinians and the international comunity Israel should follow not more ... enough troubels the world had because of Israel ... your wishes keep it for your self you wished enough till now .
55. Mrs Clinton prefers riding thru Jewish settlements ...
Trumpeldor ,   eurabia   (03.05.09)
Clinton chose not to travel directly to Ramallah from Jerusalem along an Arab-populated route, but rather via the safer and more roundabout route past the Jewish towns of Adam, Migron, and Beit El. The same settlements she wants to destroy ???? This lady has some nerve LOL !!!!
56. Eldad is totally clearheaded as
Yosi M. ,   Gilo-Jerusalem Israe   (03.05.09)
Billary is totally muddleheaded. She wants to go back to the same cesspool that caused all the terror deaths, by her husband, for 8 horrid years of terror. I had the privilege of serving under Mr Eldad and he has been consistant then and now and I wish that all true Israelis will remember his party in the next election-hopefully very soon.
57. #53 - We tried to live with independent state in Gaza
Ze'ev ,   Haifa   (03.05.09)
It didn't work.
58. #54 palestinians can choose either to live in israel or not
its their choice   (03.05.09)
just like canada doesn't have to become smaller because there are arabs there, israel doesn't have to become smaller because there are arabs there. does england have to become smaller and give parts of land for creation of another state because there are arabs, or other minorities there? no? israel shouldn't also
59. don't force others to do what you're not prepared to do
give a piece of US   (03.05.09)
60. I said the same thing a few months ago!
Maria ,   MD   (03.05.09)
Quote: but Haaretz didn't post it. Rather, it will encourage the Arabs to continue on the path of terrorism because you will prove to them that terrorism pays off.
