1. Israel must make peace with everyone around it
Carlos ,   Rio,Brazil   (02.11.11)
Give all land taken by force, free palestine and make peace; lest you want to see US trained Egyptian M-1 Abrahams tanks and F-16 all over Israel territory
2. Toooo early tooo tell!
Simon ,   Malcha   (02.11.11)
Israel should from the start embrace the new change and embrace a new era of relations with the Arab world. We should work with our Arab neighbours, to a United Arab and Israeli Middle East. Jews and Muslims can work together - our leadership just dont want us to as they want to fill their pockets from war sales.. let us seek change
3. jordan
dani   (02.11.11)
coup in jordan = palestinian state, no doubt. this is almost as wonderful as if hezbollah dropped a missile on the al aqsa mosque by mistake.
4. Mazal Tov Egypt
Abu Ali   (02.11.11)
[The U.S.] did not have to invade Iraq to bring democracy!! to that part of the world - they needed to bring Twitter, Facebook and social networks
5. NO....YOU DON'T SAY
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (02.11.11)
I already said this three hours ago ,that Israel is in trouble .The solution ,in Chelm of course ,is to give away yeat more land to those who hate us.
6. Lunatic Sinai retreat is sole reason for trouble with Egypt.
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.11.11)
The sole reason Israel is in trouble with Egypt is our lunatic retreat from Sinai. If we kept Sinai, it wouldn't matter who ruled Egypt. The Sinai gave Israel enormous strategic and military advantages which would almost certainly deter Egyptian attack. Especially if Israel is militarily prepared. We are continually taught the lesson of the lunacy of Israeli retreat but many of our leaders are so foolish they won't learn something obvious to a child of normal intelligence.
7. SERVES ISRAEL RIGHT
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (02.11.11)
The Lubavitch Rebbe ,amongst others ,warned against giving away valuable strategic assets i.e. land to unstable enemies. But israelis ,as usual ,knew best .
8. gaza can breathe
Zichron   (02.11.11)
Now there is no excuse for the gazan arabs to be packed like sardines and they should be allowed good refuge in eygpt and citizenship.THE OIL RICH ARAB WORLD MUST LIFT THE EYGYPTIANS OUT OF POVERTY AND PROVIDE PTODUCTIVE JOBS . THE JEWS CAN LIVE IN PEACE WITH THEIR ARAB NEIGHBOURS BUT ISRAEL IS THE JEWISH STATE.
9. ok if we are to be fair, THEN GET HUSSIEN NOBAMAO OUT ALSO
(02.11.11)
AND THAT RIGHT AWAY!!!! LET"S EVEN UP THE SCORE
10. #1: Carlos the Jackass
Israeli 2   (02.11.11)
Your dreams will never ne realized....because I am a time traveler and I saw the future. 2018: Israel is the world's greatest power in economy and military might. All Arabs have treaties with Israel and bow before Israel.
11. a time for vigilance, hope, not for pessimism
dante ,   uk   (02.11.11)
one hopes that Egypt will get a good government that will help the people and will be strong in the face of forces of hatred and fanaticism.
12. Don't be so quick...
john   (02.11.11)
to judge the situation. Let it play out.
13. LET'S GIVE AWAY THE GOLAN TOO
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (02.11.11)
After all ,there's always north Tel -aviv...
14. Mazel looks very pale
SyrianFreedomEagle   (02.11.11)
Hello my good friends from iysraiyel! Mazel is not only pessimistic. He also looks so pale and white like snow. He seems to be truly shocked and affected by the liberation of Egypt by the Egyptians! Well, as an Ex-envoy, he certainly has insider information. What will netanyahoodi do now? Will he continue to run around in the world like chicken, begging everyone to attack Iran and to bring back Mubarak? Well, the liberation of Egypt is such a humilation for you, my israheli friends! Now, you are so naked. Let me sum up your risk factors, my good friends: 1. The whole world hates you. 2. Egypt is free. More liberations will follow soon. 3. Iran has now more time to develop more nuclear weapons. 4. Hisbollah is growing stronger and has a new ally: Egypt. 5. Hamas is growing stronger and has a new ally: Egypt. 6. Be prepared that Hamas will strike you with more sophisticated weapons. If you still want to live in chisraeiel, you are suicidal! I am going to have a good cup of tea now! Talk to you later, my good friends from israyehl.
15. The Egyptian Army
Dan ,   Los Angeles   (02.11.11)
Let's hope the army stays in power in Egypt for several years. This is the best case scenario for Israel. As long as the Muslim Brotherhood is not in power it is good for Israel, Egypt, and Egypt's Coptic population.
16. Israel not in trouble
Rami of Nazareth ,   Israe   (02.11.11)
Democracy in arab world will lead to true peace between the nations
17. The lunatic political establishment will pine for
Al   (02.11.11)
more land for peace, all the while Israel will be staring down a loaded gun. Us Jews, I swear must be the dumbest life form out there. Israel is surrounded by killers all the while we keep beating each other up because it feels good.
18. He's right.
Heather Czerniak ,   Mississauga, Canada   (02.11.11)
Islamic extremists have figured prominently in this "revolution." Eventually, they will take over the governments of Egypt, Lebanon and Jordan. It's all for a reason. Just think 1967.
19. to #10: israeli2 the time traveler
Carlos ,   Rio   (02.11.11)
How about a nice chess game or do you only play checkers
20. thank goodness we have Barak and Tsipi Livni
Max   (02.11.11)
/sarcasm off
21. #14. If stupid threats were gold, you'd be a billionaire.
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.11.11)
#14. The fact that Egypt appears to be heading from one dictatorship to a worse one teaches Israel one lesson only. Never cede an inch of our land again. If stupid threats were gold, you'd be a billionaire. You are lucky that, so far, Israel has treated many times defeated Syria with compassion.
22. # 1
jew from the east   (02.11.11)
WHAT A PLONKER
23. To my dear friend #14 !
Moshe. ,   Israel   (02.11.11)
Israel is the safest place on earth. Hashem watches over the Jewish people. Every country will disappear in the end of time and then the golden age will come.
24. #17 Beating each other up
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (02.11.11)
That's rich coming from you seeing as you love to kick a jew when he is down i.e poor jews .
25. A PUZZLE
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (02.11.11)
There once was a man named Mazel ; Who tried to solve a middle-east puzzle; So he banged on the table and shouted "This region is so unstable ; Why don't we have any mazel ?
26. HAL,JOIN US IN CELEBRATING............
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (02.11.11)
The departure of Mubarak coinciding with the Iranians observing their Revolution Day as well.Or are you busy with doughnuts making?:)
27. law of unintended consequences
Unemployed homeless ,   Las Vegas   (02.11.11)
Osama bin laden must be very happy. If Bush had finished him off instead of invading Iraq none of these would be happening, I would have a job and my house would not have been foreclosed.
28. #23
Ian ,   South Africa   (02.11.11)
Mmmm the same god that is keeping Israel safe . Tell me where was he to help 6 million of Jews ???????? Wake up idiot God only helps those nations that help themselves !!!!!!
29. #27 LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (02.11.11)
You still have your computer.... seriously , I sincerely wish that your fortune will change for the better and soon. Good luck .
30. ISRAEL MUST BE WORRIED
Nader ,   Ramallah   (02.11.11)
Israel must be worried because democracy is loaming in the Arab World. Democracy means that the Arab citizens will say their own words amd the government will have to hear those words, and its clear that ALL arabs will say "No for Peac with Isarel" and the ellected governement will have to execute accordingly. Neither Israel nor the US will be bale to fight teh Arab people's desire to uproot Israel. So, my call to the Israelis;; you better go to the palestinians to save your asses.
