31. Who knows what I saw in the year 2018?
Israeli 2   (03.14.11)
Israel has expanded its solid lines to beyond our wildest imagination. As far as the "Palestinians" are concerned? Remotely in the pages of history.
32. When is everyone going to see the obvious?
Ari ,   USA soon Israel   (03.14.11)
Both Barak and Livni have been bought by Obama Obama is trying to undermine Israel. Read and learn about him and his mentors. He hates all Jews. Vehemently. Obama's vision is to divide and conquer.....He knows the Israelis don't trust him. ....And, he knows that Israel's weakness is the inner fighting among the various factions. The US sees that very clearly, and is exploiting it. They then will need a figure head puppet...... they have 2 to choose from.... Barak and Livni.........So, he promised Barak and Livni what their sick egos crave and will sell their souls for- power...... If you want you and your family to (G-D forbid) end up like the Fogels, pay attention to Barak and Livni: simply bend over, and give up land to the arabs so they don't have to travel far to kill you in your sleep.

34. Barak/Tsunami
Irv ,   USA   (03.14.11)
Barak is a tsunami in his own mind. Even the Labor party didn't fall for his nonsense so he picked up his 4 toys and took off. When Israel decides to have a representative government instead of its current party government the Baraks of the world will continue to strangle the future of Israel. Imagine a ceo of a company having a board of directors meeting and 40 % of the board consists of your competitors! Well that's Israel. Change it or continue your strangle.
35. 1967 border warning
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (03.14.11)
Neither Barak nor the State of so-called Israel itself is in any position to tell or warn anyone what or where its borders will be, assuming it survives for long, which is highly doubtful.
36. Barak and his Tsunami
Brod ,   USA   (03.14.11)
If Barak is scared of this kind of Tsunami, he should not be in government. The fact is there is NO need to fear the Tsunami of the dark forces. Israel can tell them to go to Hell. And there is nothing they can do about it. Judeo-Christian America will always support Israel. Be strong, united and resolute. Barak does not seem to know the GOD of Israel, the Bible and the Land of Israel. Judea and Samaria are Israel's liberated historic homeland-Land of Israel. It is the Islamist-Jihadists that have NO right in usurping the Land of Israel. It would be wiser for Bibi to surround himself with strong leaders who know the GOD of Israel and the Land of Israel and NOT chicken.
37. Retreat from South Libanon and Gaza
Dr.Ludwig ,   Belgium   (03.14.11)
It is not the first time that this otherwise brilliant man is giving incorrect estimations. Would be better if he try the international media to convince about the rights of Israel insted of tring to convince the Israelis about the so called rights of the Palestinians.Anyway the retreat from Lebanon and Gaza have brought to Israel instead of peace only missile.
38. " One must choose "
Gabe Yakmore ,   Canada   (03.14.11)
Retiring honorably or being swept away by a political tsunami within Israel.
39. Get ready to rumble!
IRAN#1   (03.14.11)
It will be a good fight.
40. What if Barak is right? What will you do?
Pariah   (03.14.11)
What if there really IS a political tsunami brewing? What if Israel really WILL be caught isolated and abandoned? Will it be enough to rely on a pro-Israel Congress in the USA to stem the tide? Or will Israel soon find itself as politically defenceless as South Africa was, just as Olmert predicted? What if the world will never accept Jordan as the Palestinian state, as some people here claim it is? It's one thing to stick to your guns, but what if your damn-the-world plans don't work out as you envision? Do you even HAVE a realistic vision, or just a defiant one? I'm not trying to be inflammatory. I'd just like someone who rejects Barak's warning to explain what Israel will do if and when he turns out to be correct in his prediction.
41. And yet, the Tsunami will not go away through Barak bashing.
Michael ,   California, USA   (03.14.11)
All the angry responses, as if Barak was behind PA recognition by the world. As if Barak was causing Israel to become more and more isolated and de-ligitimized. Why are you always shooting accusations from the hip? In September Palestine will be recognized and will be called a country on a par with Israel. Shortly thereafter Palestine will muster more support in the U.N. than Israel has ever had. Palestine will go from victory to victory on the international scene; foreign assistance funds will start drying up from Israel and go to Palestine. This is the Tsunami Barak is warning about. Barak is correct in calling for an end of division within Israel. You have heard it from an experienced Defense Minister, so don't bury your head in the sand now only to play a deadbeat later.
42. Get back to 67 borders NOW !!!
Gregg ,   Haifa, IL   (03.14.11)
43. bibi & co led you on a dark, steep, slippery path - DOWN...
eporue ,   europe   (03.14.11)
to hell... by now, even the last idiot should be able to see it clearly...
44. while funeral were taking place in Jerusalem,
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (03.14.11)
Barak's "peace" partner, PA, was helding the ceremony in el Bireh, naming a square after Fatah woman terrorist who led 1978 Coastal Road massacre.
45. #31, Israeli. This is what Prof. Passiq,
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (03.14.11)
the first Israeli futurist, mentions in his book "Zofen Ha Atid", it's in Hebrew.
46. Barak is an agent of foreign interests
Nick ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (03.14.11)
Barak has spent most of his adult life working to dismantle Israel and create a "Palestinian" state. He's been paid quit well, as demonstrated by his lavish private bunkers. In fairness, there are about 5,000 people in Israel who have gotten filthy rich from aiding those whose goal is to destroy Israel and resolve "the Jewish problem" once and for all.
47. #42 Sorry...finders keepers, losers weepers.
(03.14.11)
48. Barak
yitz heching ,   jerusalem israel   (03.14.11)
does anyone really think Barak is relevant except for Barak??- someone should find him a job somewhere else so we don't have to listen to his nonsense
49. #40
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.14.11)
Israel has two choices: We can surrender to the Saudi peace plan as demanded by Obama and Barak and be slaughtered without a fight or we can behave like a free nation in her ancestral land and fight. Maybe we win and survive, maybe we lose but with honor. As Emiliano Zapata said, It is better to die on you feet than live on your knees. We had this choice in 167 BCE, in 66 CE, in 132 CE, in 1938 CE and we have it now. Sadly, like in 66 CE the nation is strong but the leaders are corrupt.
50. ehud barak
reader   (03.14.11)
I wish his $12 million apartment would sell and he could go live in obsurity and enjoy his retirement.
51. #40, Pariah...WHAT, do you believe could
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.14.11)
actually change for the worse...??? The UN and the EU already HAVE abandoned any positive policy in regard to Israel and Hussein Obama could not be worse as he is right now... The only thing of importance for Israel will be the next American administration and any discussion of border issues will have NO influence at all on who will become the next American president...SO WHAT...???
52. Exactly- Barak put your ego aside and RETIRE
Out with Barak ,   IL   (03.14.11)

54. #19 John Darren
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.14.11)
I usally show my e-mail address, lately I have been doing it selectively It appears above I will be willing to communicate just as long as it's polite I've done more than my share of combat in real life,I prefer to keep the web bloodless
55. we never have support from media dont you know so?
to mark ,   IS   (03.14.11)
Not new news Mark! Old ones We mustn't base ourselves as per media champions- there are already known- and real pros and handling lots of support around the world- what is barak doing- is being his opportunistic asshole as ever bla bla bla - clown face
56. #39 IRAN #1
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.14.11)
If It’s a good fight, we can be certain that you will be safe, away from it BTW- Did you notice that in today's news there's a story about Iran using it's 14 - 16 year old children to help in suppressing demonstrations Sounds like the good old days of the Iraq-Iran War, when you sent the kids out in front of the troops so that they would step on the landmines so the troops wouldn't get hurt You're real brave, to the last man, just as long as it's the other guy that's doing the dying
57. Pariah #40
Brod ,   USA   (03.14.11)
Barak is wrong. And if your Barak is right, so what? Israel has survived the past 4000 years while other ancient civilizations that crusaded against Israel had come and gone into the dustbin of history. The world will not end. Other countries like Zimbabwee, Burma, N. Korea and Cuba have been treated worst by the Tsunami of Colonialist racism, bigotry and intolerance, yet they survive. Modern Israel is in their Ancient Land of Israel. No Tsunami of AntiSemitism and Islamist-Jihadism and NO usurpers can prevail against Israel because the GOD of Israel is with Israel. GOD gave and restored the Land of Israel to the Jewish Nation, and no mortals should dare tamper with Divine Providence. Hussien Obama, Hillary and Susan Rice should stop crusading against Israel and the GOD of Israel-the GOD of the Bible -the Creator of the Heavens and Universe.
58. Gregg #42
Brod ,   USA   (03.14.11)
There is no 1967 border. Israel liberated its historic homeland of Judea and Samaria-Land of Israel from the Islamist-Jihadist occupiers in 1967, just as the Spainish liberated its historic homeland of Spain from the Islamist-Jihadist occupiers in the 15th century. Modern Israel is in their Ancient Land of Israel as a Fulfillment of GOD'S Covenant of Restoring Israel in Diaspora back into their Ancient Land of Israel. Jeremiah 31:1-17, Ezekiel 36:24-38, Ezekiel 37:21-28, Ezekiel 39:27-29, Amos 9:14-15, Isaiah 14:1.
59. hahah, the "non relevant" guy you all...
