1. The lessons is that Israeli withdrawls are ALWAYS disastrous
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.24.10)
There has NEVER been a single Israeli retreat or withdrawl which has had positive results for Israel. Our withdrawl from South Lebanon caused our last Lebanon War and launched tens of thousands of rockets against Israel, wounding and killing many Israelis. Our Gaza withdrawl launched tens of thousands of rockets against Israel and created our last war in Gaza. The sole lesson of Israeli withdrawls is that they are ALWAYS disastrous. We must abandon this sick, failed policy forever.
2. Are Israelis masochists?
Steven ,   San Francisco   (05.24.10)
It is beyond me why any country wishes to give land that is theirs to sworn enemies for a false peace. But yet this is exactly what Israel -- led by Ehud Barak and Netanyahu and with the lessons of Gaza behind them, are intent on doing. It is impossible to explain logically. The answer is certainly in some sort of pathology. I've got news for Israelis. America, under the Hussein Obama government, is absolutely fatal poison for Israel's future.
3. Colonel Wegman's strategic lesson
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (05.24.10)

6. THE FUTURE WITHDRAWALS WONT TAKE ISRAEL'S HONOR DOWN.
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (05.24.10)
soon or later ! Israel will be forced to move to the 67 borders by America. I am sure it wont be easy. but I am sure THIS WILL BE A WISE STEP. this will be wise step for tomorrows. *** peace ? PEACE IS NOT EVEN A SUBJECT. EACH PARTY DEEPLY HATE EACH OTHER. *** MAPS WONT CHANGE IN FUTURE. NO MAP WILL CHANGE. TOMORROWS WARS WILL BE ECONOMICAL & POLITICAL. YOU CAN DIVIDE COUNTRIES WITH DEEP POLIYTICS BUT YOU CANT TAKE ANY PLACE FROM ANY COUNTRY WITH A WAR AS USED TO BE. *** go back to the 67 borders. than protect it. IF YOUR ENEMIES WILL ASK YOU MUCH THAN THE 67 ! EVEN WORLD WILL HELP YOU. *** enemyhood between you and the world WILL NEVER END. NEVER. let me give an example from myself ; TO BE HONEST ! I WILL NEVER EVER LOVE OR TRUST YOU. EVEN I COME THIS WORLD BILLION TIMES WITH THIS MIND I HAVE ABOUT YOU ! IT WILL BE SAME. it is impossible to accept you as I accept all others. AND I KNOW ! I AM ALSO A LITTLE BUG IN YOU. *** to talk is okay. I dont hit you from your back. BUT I FEEL YOU CAN DO ME. this make us forever enemies. *** YOUR ( JEWISH, ISRAEL ) HATE ON ME IS MUCH BIGGER THAN MY HATE ON YOU.
7. WE ARE FOREVER ENEMIES. BUT WE CAN LIVE IN PEACE.
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (05.24.10)
WELL YES. IN DEEP OF ME ! I HAVE GREAT ANGER GREAT HATE GREAT UPSET ABOUT YOU ( ISRAEL, JEWISH PEOPLE ) look like we speak each day as friends. yes we do. and I love this. BUT WE ARE ENEMIES. YOUR HATE ON ME ( REST OF WORLD ) IS MUCH GREATER THAN MY HATE ON YOU ( ISRAEL ) *** how did I find this point ? I am just looking at my deep heart and soul. I DONT TRULY LIKE YOU. I DONT. well we can be next doors. we can drink together. I can even show you some trust to open my house to you. BUT I CANT FULLY TRUST AND LOVE YOU. THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. BECAUSE I KNOW YOU TRULY HATE ME. I KNOW YOU TRULY TRULY TRULY DONT WANT MY FRIENDSHIP. *** but we can live in peace. as black & white.

Most people tend to make the same mistakes all over. Anyone thinks something good will come out of this office, or disaster.
10. Make yourselves safe, by yet more attacks...
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (05.26.10)
...yeah. That'll do it.
11. The “peace” process is a war process.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (05.26.10)
The peace process has not worked, and many of its most ardent supporters, including myself, have had to admit that giving up "land for peace" has not led us closer to peace and there is no sign that it will. Aaron David Miller, a leading American protagonist in the "Peace Process" now has admitted that it is not going anywhere - it is a "FALSE RELIGION." He has not taken the next step, which is to understand that in the current situation, Israeli concessions are not likely to result in peace, but rather in an Islamist terror state.
