91. thanks
(06.17.10)
92. Judging from his comments, no wonder he's ex-PM
William ,   Israel   (06.17.10)
He isn't very biased and thinks too clearly. There is NO room in Spanish politics for a person like that.
93. #38 - Depends. Have Jews ever voted in Hamas?
William ,   Israel   (06.17.10)
or supported any group that swore to the destruction of an entire country or race, and attempt it? The Gazans have made their own bed, and they can easily undo it with two simple things - which even the Intl community has demanded - unconditional release of Shalit and end to Hamas' declaration of war to destroy Israel. If Gazans continue to choose war, who are we to stop them....and the results?
94. ISREAL A FRIEND IN THE MIDDLE-EAST
Simcha ,   So.Cal.USA   (06.17.10)
Thank-You Mr.Aznar ! Now if only we can get that Muslim appeasing dohicky in the white house to see things as clearly as you do.
95. #89- Anzar no longer PM but Spain over-spends
William ,   Israel   (06.17.10)
Is that his fault too or will you put blame on the greedy socialist population, the same type that brought Greece to its knees?
96. #79 - Re: #72 - I like reading George's postings
William ,   Israel   (06.17.10)
According to him, Resistor, Matty, Observer, etc. Jews are in control of the world, very rich, and can reach any terrorist anywhere in the world. Their stories about us Jews have so much good news, compared to Israeli papers that only speak negative news like the economy and crooked politicians. :-)
97. #71 - Actually, Leftists are claiming Obama is now worse
William ,   Israel   (06.17.10)
than Bush, and his administration is cracking down on naysayers and whistle-blowers worse than any other administration in recent US history. Hmmm......
98.  Muslims bombing bus/railway station
TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI   (06.17.10)
and to commit suicide bombing in restaurant and pissa parlour is OK as far as killing Jews & INFIDEL it does not matter child ,baby pregnant women,anything go..
99. Full text of the editorial
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.17.10)

100. #39
mariellen ,   tel aviv, israel   (06.18.10)
I suggest you try living in a "democratic" Arab country, or in Gaza. See what happens there when you express an opinion and then come and criticize us, if you are still around. Better yet, visit Iran and never come back, because that's what will happen to you. Enjoy!!
101. IMPRESSIVE...
Ynet web reader ,   Niles, IL, USA   (06.18.10)
...an excellent synopsis of truth and reality...worth keeping these observances in a Land of Israel file
102. Palestine # 20
ChanahS ,   Israel   (06.18.10)
Most killed in Iraq and other Muslim countries were killed by other Muslims. It's alwasy easy to put blame on others - especially Israel and the west. Your leaders havee been doing it for decades. That is why you never go forward.
103. MR. AZNAR
ruth ,   cancun, mexico   (06.18.10)
Words of truth... the whole civilized world knows what your´re saying is true, but not everyone has the guts to say it.
104. Why do people forget so easily?
Taylor ,   New Zealand   (06.18.10)
It is amazing to see how ignorant some people are. I'm neutral to the whole middle east crisis situation, but everyone seems to forget the millions (read that again and again to understand what a million means) of innocent children and mothers that were shot down worse than animals by the Israeli's in Palestine and by the American's in Iraq. If you really believe in equality, then you should believe any country (or religion for that matter) has the right to defend itself (in the correct manner). I just cant believe how people forget so easily...it is probably easy to just ignore the wrong doings of your own nation and start to look for sympathy and pity from others when you get pricked by a needle (like little babies). And no body is in support of the bombings, not even the Muslims themselves. Those who carried them out are damned bastards. May they suffer.
105. Aznar
Miriam ,   Gibraltar   (06.18.10)
Sr. Aznar - you make me proud. You have restored my faith in the human race and wish there were more intelligent people like you around..... G-d bless you
106. Mr. Aznar is a beacon of light to the free world
Maxime Levy ,   Portland USA   (06.18.10)
A man of vision, truth and courage. The west should pay close attention and listen to Mr. Anzar's words of wisdom before is to late.
107. #39 Resistor
Cordovero d'Espinoza ,   Montréal, Canada   (06.18.10)
Your enlightened view of Israel is duly acknowledged. Now this is my view of the state and the people of Israel as compared with your kind of paranoid Jew haters : In Israel, there is a lot of good and a lot of bad, a lot of the best and a lot of the worst, a lot to reject and a lot to improve. On your side, there is only absolute abjection.
108. Great article
Mary Elizabeth   (06.18.10)
Finally! I am sooo glad there are still sane people in this evil and crazy world. That is what may just save this planet-a few sane, good people. Thank you.
109. Resistor
(06.18.10)
More like a bastard to democracy more likely you are a bas.....d
110. @52 We hear it all the time..
Reasonable Guy ,   Norway   (06.18.10)
..but the west media seems to cut that part out and only show the "terrorrist" view of Palestinian. Gotta thank the west media for censoring what should be known and showing only the "good" side of zionists/jews. Wake up people! Don't get fooled by the media, search the truth urselves. WHen that happens, then u can come back trying to comment something pro-israel. ;)
111. 104 , Taqylor the "neutral" ! the BIG LIAR , yes
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (06.18.10)
Claiming you're "neutral" and then coming with the biggest lies possible : Millions of innocent children and mothers murdered by Israelis in Palestine . And what about the billions of innocent Maoris youy have murdered the last year ?
112. We will not let Israel go down.
John ,   Orange County, CA   (06.18.10)
Israel gets the best military equipment from the U.S. You really think the U.S. military complex will let that change?
113. "If Israel Goes Down we all go down"
Andrea Helen Carter ,   Bedfordshire, Englan   (06.19.10)
Well said Mr. Aznar. You are a man that sees the reality and truth of the situation in the Middle East, where. Israel is indeed the one and only true democracy surrounded by unadulterated anti-Semitism fuelled by hysterical and fanatic Islamism. Wake up the West and smell the coffee! Islam will never make peace with the West. To the fanatic Islamists, we are "the Infidels" and as such, their sworn enemy!
114. Thank G-d for some Sanity
Rebecca ,   E.B., U.S.A.   (06.19.10)
Thank you, Mr. Aznar for your bravery.
115. Israel
chanah valerie ,   new york usa   (06.20.10)
world - stop talking and stare doing. Remove Obama - support bombing Iran without delay. Hashem will not give one inch to the evil
116. what a low quality opinion piece
Bob ,   Belgium   (06.20.10)
thought it was a rather stupid article/opinion piece with only kind of general statements. The west IS an ally of israel, and always will be, true, but that's hardly the question here i think. the west and the UN have always been supportive towards the 1948/67 state of israel, and by protesting against israel, i never meant to put israel "on the altar" for sacrifice as aznar concludes... what a stupid remark/corparison/conclusion. like everything is black and white and there is no road in between. its like saying that you can only support israel 100% or be fully against them. and his reflection to the creation of israel and the UN is completely useless and out of its context, cause the borders are not at all anymore on what the UN agreed upon in 67. ok, u could maybe even argue that the golan (syrian border) is strategic for protection and even that the egyptian border should be completely closed at gaza, but occupying the west bank is a whole other issue and has nothing to do with security or threats from iran and others. of course extremist islam is quite a security threat to the western style of living that should be closely monitored, but it does not give israel "carte blanche" to ignore all sorts of human rights, also created by the UN. "In an ideal world, the assault by Israeli commandos on the 'Mavi Marmara' would not have ended up with nine dead and a score wounded. In an ideal world, the soldiers would have been peacefully welcomed on to the ship." .... this one really made me almost piss in my pants and would almost be hillarious if it wasn't this sad. the situation is in a stalemate, and indeed there are no signs that the situation might thaw in the (near) future, cause even if israel would return to the 67 agreements, surely it wouldn't take long before the arab states want them completely out, but objectively speaking thats another discussion but it would give israel all the support of the rest of the western world (that it expects). why have international law if it only works for one side. and now israel is more in breach with international law than the palestinians or other arab states on that matter. anyway, i'm not really impressed with aznar's opinion to say the least. I understand his point, i really do, but the arguements he brings forward are of the quality a university graduate unworthy, not to mention a former PM
117. Well, it's better than
Anat ,   Israel   (06.23.10)
Ahmedinejad, Ardogan, Nasralla, Hania, Mashaal, Assad, Finkelstein and Chomsky...
118. Oh hunney, we are NEVER going down
Anat ,   Israel   (06.23.10)
We are a people of 4000 years old (how old are you?), with many wars on our belt. Our old enemies are GONE. Our new enemies will disapear as well. We are here to stay. Learn to live with it.
119. Who are those "Millions"?
Anat ,   Israel   (06.23.10)
There are no millions. You are liar who should be ashamed of himself. People like you are the one's who cause all the trubels with your words and propaganda. Becuase of people like you, and your delegitimization of the state of Israel, Millions of Israelis (Who are people too...) are in danger. And if you are so neutratl on the ME situation - What are you doing in an Israeli site? LIAR!
120. Simcha
india sorenson ,   hayden usa   (06.24.10)
Right on, Simcha. We are in a heck of a mess with this muslim loving Obama. india
