.........PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST..............

obstacle to peace in the Middle East and the World. If Israel is so important how come that there are no important Israelis on that list. Or maybe Israel is not an obstacle to Peace and it is all a charade.

shame on you time magazine..!! as of today, i for one will never buy time magazine again......i'll also make sure my fam & friends make the same decision.

included in to Time's list (of all places)? If not, then why does any of you care?

Israel is 7mil people or 1 in a thousand of the worl population, was represented last year and the year before...just because there are no israelis in the list doesn't mean israel is under-represented! stastically it should be one israeli every 10 years for a 1/1000 you have 2out of 300 not bad going for a small country. for the people who want to stop buying the time because of this (and their family and friends) hahahahaha so silly really :)

This was the Dry Bones response to "Begin, rhymes with Fagin"

Nobody listens to Time magazine. This magazine has zero influence anywhere, anytime. Like Peace Now... an extremeley marginal group. H

Or at the very least a raving anti-Semitic! Blair talking up Fayyed's accomplishments? Absolutely preposterous! If it weren't for concessions and changes made by PM Netanyahu those things Blair mentions would not be.

Their hasbarah is soo bad - they can't influence anybody! Palestinians on the other hand do a great job. They can support terrrorism, yet they can get the whole world to sympathize with them.

LOL. I think Time doesent know who are th most influental.since they have no Israelis on the list

That shows perfectly well how much Israel is worth without blind US support.

1. Lieberman's choice was ridiculous then (didn't have that much of an influence) 2. Salam Fayyad's choice is a bit less ridiculous, but still is (the "regulalry paid salaries" are paid by the EU; rather than investing the EU money long-term the PA prefers to keep things quiet by having everybody on the pay role; Fayyad hasn't done a bad job, but is certainly overrated). 3. Erdogan is the biggest joke of all (misbehaving in Davos, and embracing islamic radicals and third world dictators does not suffice to bestow on someone the title of "leader of the Muslim world")

Leading by example? Believing in your cause to the point of surmounting impossible obstacles including your own fears? An array of qualities I guess...But to get a good idea keep an eye on our prime minister Dr. Fayyad, from whom israeli 'leaders' have a lot to learn. With cynics like Lieberman or hollow politicians like Netanhayu as your leaders, you might want to borrow a leaf or two from Fayyad. He did drop by at Herzliya after all, and extended his arm to you despite 130 years of violent Zionism. If that's not leadership, i dont know what is.

meaning... these lists mean nothing whatsoever.

A FEW YEARS BACK, YASSER ARAFAT WAS MAN OF THE YEAR IN TIMES MAGAZINE, NOUR! THERE IS NO LAW IN TIMES OF EXCLUDING TERRORISTS. TERRORISTS BY THEIR ACTIONS "DESERVE PRAISE" BECAUSE THEY ARE "PERFORMING DUTIES" FOR PEACE AND CO EXISTENCE, AFTER ALL. WOULDN'T YOU SAY? YOU AS WELL AS ANYONE WITH A MODICUM OF INTELLIEGENCE IS 100% AWARE THAT IF IT WASN'T FOR THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT AND THE EU INFLUXING EURO AND SHEKELS AND DOLLARS INTO THE WEST BANK ECONOMY, FAYAAD WOULD HAVE NO ECONOMY AT ALL. HE IS FLOATING ON USA, EU AND ISRAELI CASH AND N OT A CENT HAS BEEN PRODUCED BY HIS POLICIES AT ALL. TO GIVE HIM CREDIT IS ABSURD. AS TO THE PEACE AND NON VIOLENCE IN WEST BANK, THAT IS BECAUSE THE ISRAELI IDF STILL OPERATES IN THOSE AREAS AGAINST HAMAS AND FAYAAD BENEFITS FROM THIS. OTHERWISE HE AND ABU MAZEN WOULD HAVE BEEN ASSASSINATED A LONG TIME AGO. IF IT WASN'T FOR ISRAELI INTELLIGENCE IN THE WEST BANK, FAYAAD'S POLICE FORCE WOULD ACCOMPLISH ZERO AND YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN THE RIOTS AND VIOLENCE THAT IS SO TYPICAL OF YOU MUSLIMS AND PALESTINIANS. COMMON, NOUR, LET'S CALL A ASPADE A SPADE AND NOT GET TOO HIGH AND MIGHTY IN YOUR EXHAULTATIONS OF FAYAAD. HAMEED ABOUGHAZEM IRANIAN

Time is a far left magazine and as such views Israel as the primary fault for everything that is wrong with the world. Don't be offended, be proud to be Israeli's.

What makes a good liar ? To be a good liar is not to let anyone else know you are lying. "130 years of violent Zionism" ALEK !

I don't know anyone. Perhaps you do?

Dan, being proud, keeps us going. We didnt get this far by being fed with a silver spoon in our mouths. Thanks for your support.

Stick around & you will find out soon.
