1. NO border discussion, as any such talk
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.13.11)
would exactly work in the way of the expectet "tsunami"...!!!! Just to simply ignore this so called new threat is the best way to contain it...
2. Realy
sam ,   tel aviv   (03.13.11)
so this is baraks big worry ? To create a terror state . Y not focus on doing your job and making sure our babies aren't slaughtered in their sleep
3. Arabs NEVER recognized 1967 borders
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.13.11)
Israel must refuse to acknowledge that they exist Worst of all the EU which is on the verge of bankruptcy has the nerve to tell Israel what it should do or not do
4. Is Barak working for the PA?
Eyal ,   USA ISRAEL   (03.13.11)
Remove this dumb creature
5. I agree with Barak
Mark ,   J-lem   (03.13.11)
If government won't do anything in media war, we can loose much more than just some allies. Our enemy understands, he can't win by force and failed in past several times. Right now we are loosing every inch of media battleground.
6. political tsunami
moron ,   galut   (03.13.11)
barak's diplomacy and oslo have failed--jordan is arab palestine
7. Reality of the conflict
Revisonisty   (03.13.11)
The truth is that Arab Palestinians loved Jews so much that they demonstrated in masses when Mizrahim and Sephardics had their possessions robbed by Arabs in the country they had emigrated to Israel from. They rioted and declared an intifada against all the Arab countries that ethnically cleansed Jews. In fact, it was the Palestinian Arabs who led a war against the Saudi royal family to remove the portions in the Quran about Jews being Dhimmis. It was Palestinians who told the pope to remove the blood libel, and forgive us. In fact, today it is Palestinians who lead the world fight against Iran's denial of the holocaust. As we Israeli's are the embodiment of evil, the problems for everything we concocted an amazing plan to incriminate Palestinains. The grand mufti was actually a mossad agent sent back to 1948 with a time machine by request of the Palestinian Authority so at least we the evil Israeli's could fabricate a story as to why we even need arms and a military here. All problems would be solved in we just went back to the 1967 borders, as between 48-67 there was peace.
8. Is he working Abbas?
Rachel ,   US   (03.13.11)
A baby has been stabbed to death and his main concern is a terror state?
9. This Livni who speaks
Thomas ,   EU   (03.13.11)
Every article Attila Somfalvi regurgitates on these pages is the voice and the dreams of Livni. Barak feels the heat and needs an ally in Livni.
10. Barak didnt play piano for Floyd
Eddie ,   london UK   (03.13.11)
Barak is not a man whose judgement can be trusted. The same Barak that was an architect of Oslo, and conducted the Camp david war- talks, leading to a 10 year disaster. The same man who as PM was negotiating with the PLO under fire, and bombing empty buildings in return. The same man who reneged on Israel's deal with China, in order to keep Clinton's sponsorship of Camp David, and lost hundreds of millions, as well as Billions of dollars in Security deals with China. Now he is again trying to scare us of a tsunami, which will be a storm in his teacup.
11. Interesting
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim,   (03.13.11)
B"H - Barak: "One must choose what's good for Israel, not what’s popular." - ABY: Hm, interesting. I thought he was for the democratic model in Israel and not for the Torah State. Unless he thinks he is god and knows better what is "good for Israel". His record doesn't seem to support this line though: BARAK GO HOME, your time is up, you're done!
12. If Egos were put aside,....
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (03.13.11)
in the specific case of Ehud Barak, there would be a brown smear, NOT unlike that nade by a "scooting" dog, to represent his stewardship of him ministry and it's rersponsibiities.
13. Barak starting to regret quitting Labor
zionist forever   (03.14.11)
Quitting Labor to create a 5 man party has mean he is forced into this coalition like it or not otherwise he will fade into the political wilderness. no major party wants him and he knows that alone he has very little hope of getting elected. He needs Kadima because Livni will be the ally he needs because right now all he can do is say yes sire Bibi sir and there are no leftists in the coalition for Barak to ally himself with. So if he doesn't get Livni his voice will carry no weight without Labor. As for his political tsunami instead of talking about what we must be doing for the palestinians how about talking about what we must be doing about the fact the palestinians are murdering Israeli children in their beds. Now is not the time to be talking about the non peace process. Barak start spending more time thinking about your own people and less about our enemies.
14. Fire Barak
Steven ,   San Francisco   (03.14.11)
He is a liability for Israel and has been for a long, long time. Out with the Minister of Destruction. Ya'alon is first rate and a real Zionist.
15. there is no '67 borders.
Golan ,   Modiin   (03.14.11)
the so called green line is a cease fire line and the cease fire agreement with Jordan were clear in stating that this line is not a border and would not prejudice a final settlement between Israel and the Trans-Jordan invasion army. In fact the international border between Israel and Jordan is the Jordan river.
16. it has to be said
alexi   (03.14.11)
After oslo where israel made immense concessions and got blood and death in return and again with barak , and olmert in gaza after a quieter period because yaalon went to ground on judea and smashed the guts of PLO machine, terror returns because israel dropped its guard. I do not like to point figures but the blood of the fogels rests on ehud barak who release roadblocks because he could not take pressure from clinton and obama. he continues wiht this just after the burial of the fogels offering more concessions encouraging the arabs to smash another 5 innocent fogels whose kids look like mine. Before any ultimate negotiations, israel has to take justice and not simply finding the perpetrators. Abbas trigggered the educational hatred. He has to be targeted along with his machine and hurt. As far as ehud barak is concerned, he is what ben eliezer said, pathetic, a weak basket case. He is not a jew, he is an arab.
17. Bufoon
gil ,   us   (03.14.11)
On the day another 500 constructions are announced. You could not make it up
18. gosh, this guy is an embarassment.
Barney ,   USA   (03.14.11)
who gives a shit what the international thinks? where were they when Jews were going into the ovens? how loud have they protested over the murder of a family and cutting an infant"s throat? this barak is dangerous for Israel. I am sure he has best intentions but obviously inept or naieve and either one isn't good
19. to BEN JABO 3
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (03.14.11)
Would it possible to contact you by Email. DARREN from CAIRNS AUSTRALIA
20. Barak is a fool and a pushover! FIRE HIM!
iNet Fraud ,   USA   (03.14.11)
Kadima? Livni is a JOKE! There are NO leaders in Israel! There are only MACHERS in the politic arena there it is time the Israelis took matters into their own hands. The kassams, brutal murders and Pali negativity and refusal to cooperate has gone on long enough! Tear down al aqsa and dome of the rock. Send a final message to these people that there is no more negotiating! Who is this Barak!? He is an enemy of Israel and an enemy of the Jews! Israel shall make her own tsunami by putting her foot down and driving the warmongering murderers from Jewish lands!! Down, down, down with Palestine!!!!!!!
21. True leaders don't submit to pressure.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.14.11)
No one can doubt that Israel is under plenty of pressure to do a very stupid, self destructive thing. Recognize the existence of a hostile, fictional "Palestine" in our heartland. However, true leaders don't submit to pressure. Churchill was under far more pressure to conclude a "peace agreement" with Hitler. Churchill had the courage to refuse. Most of the pressure on Israel was created by a host of foolish Israeli concession. Many of them by Barak. Now is the time for Israel to mobilize our hundreds of millions of friends worldwide and absolutely refuse the monstrous Two State Final Solution.
22. To Israel; Annex the JordanValley ASAP
Noah Lev ,   HollywoodCAUSA   (03.14.11)
Look folks, we can all agree that the lines are "cease fire", created after much negotiation after the 67 War, which the Arabs started. Recall when those 22 UN enclaves were dismantled..at Egypts request, and the Staits blokaded ( act of war). Israel gambled and won, but its victory has been eroded for decades since. Eisenhower caused this by forcing back the forcxes from the Canal..(to his regret later). But Israel is also to blame...with its wishy washy approach, politics, egomania, and timid leadership. Now its coming to head ( predictable). It had Hamas/Hez on the ropes and backed off. Now look what. Where are you Hillary? Israel is still gambling on its luck..and Hashem. I would not. The UNSC, if it agrees, will create an impossible environment for Israel. This is the tip of the iceberg. It could: annex the Jordan Valley, seal off the Strip, arrest Abbas, and hang Barghouti, for starters. Oh, end all discussions until the PA stops its incitement. Bring this a head Israel..time is not on your side.
23. To Mark: Hiding Behind Their Mommies
Noah Lev ,   HollywoodUSA   (03.14.11)
To Mark: there is more to lose than the PR war. Look, the Arab League has set in motion a scenario, by approving a no-fly zone. Once the UNSC creates a Pales state to the 67 lines...if Israel doesnt acquiesce, the UN, Arab League, maybe the EU, the Leagueof NonAligned Nations, The AfricanUnion, and others, will sanction an embargo around Israel, boycotts galore, and perhaps even a no-fly zone, Get it. Israel will then, like Moammar, be forced to do something. But Livni/Olmer and Barak, are NOT Moammar. They are Jews and weaklings..afraid of their own shadows,living in fantasy..like the ghetto Jews of old, running from a confrontation, hiding behind their mommies. Israel has 500 nukes, but is still a paper tiger.
24. hey Mr. you are a disgracefull failure - RESIGN
Guy   (03.14.11)
25. hey Mr. you are responsible for security, get the hell out.
Guy   (03.14.11)
26. Deligitimization of Israel
George Brown ,   New York   (03.14.11)
The best answer would seem to be for the Gov of Israel to hire the services of PR firms in countires that count: USA & Western Europe. Professionals are needed. Israel has a dismal record in the field of PR.
27. #7 Yes, yes,
boris ,   nyc, us   (03.14.11)
Arab palestinians love Jews so much, that they want to kill all israelis to resolve all problems and live in eternal peace with jews.
28. to#5
(03.14.11)
When was the last time, you can remember barak stand up for Israel publicly and vebalize any defense attempt and hasbara for Israel's actions and the plight of the Jewish state against the terror nation next door, who make no excuse for their open blunt hostility and desire to innihilate the JEwish State....Barak is the unprecedented enemy within the Jewish state and you better believe it....The history of his failures speak loud and clear of who he really is..".Lets put Ego aside" ? His ego is inflated for too long and for no reason, but a long strend ofbetrayals that he has gotten away with....
29. Barak,your and Bibi's hands are dripping with jewish blood
chaim.s ,   brooklyn ny   (03.14.11)
your and Bibi's hands are dripping with the blood of the fogel family slaughtered by the barbaric palestinian swines,it is you who has under the orders of your master hussein obama dismantled over 100 security checkpoints,and made it easy for these bloody animals to come and slaughter jews,hope and pray that the day will come,and the citizens of israel,will rise up as one,and topple this traitorous gangster regime,and Bibi and you will be hanging from the gallows for the treasonous crimes you have commited against the jewish people
30. Egypt
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (03.14.11)
Barak: "The peace treaty is very important to Egypt and its army".but not to the starving Egyptian people,who are intoxicated with the Islamic opium,preached by the mulahs in the mosque against Israel and Jews,one of the reasons Mubarak is so hated by the people ,is because he didn't break the peace treaty with Israel,one of the first acts of the new shining "democracy"was to massacre christian copts,one ex Egyptian ambasador to Israel was killed by Egyptian patriots,the other ex ambasador,basuny,is spewing anti Israel venom,just to stay alive,the 10 million christian copts,and the peace treaty with Israel are in serious danger ,all in the name of democracy.
