As a new chief of the army he has learnt well from the cowardly groveling backstabbing barak ASK FOR MONEY--DOES GANTZ ALSO WANT TO TRAVEL TO LUXURIOUS HOTELS IN fRANCE. He as the puppy does exactly what barak says. Since when does a solidier interfere with his income??? Now we see why the controvecy when he was elected.

their so-called 'democratization' is nothing more than a huge bomb waiting to blow up in the west's face... sort of like the 'no-fly' operation in libya...

All that's happening is the Arabs learned from the Nakba Day events. They caught the IDF and border guards, off guard. So now they are trying to figure out how to incorporate multiple events, all at once. They would like to have the flotilla and protests coordinated, hoping to do the same thing. Maybe even provoking the IDF into shooting. Then all the Arab nations who for the most part have remained silent during this so called "Arab Spring", will gang up and vilify Israel. Same plan (vilify Israel) just different tactic. The Arabs aren't stupid when it comes to learning from IDF mistakes, and how to use that in the future. The are stupid is the sense that, they could have peace anytime they want and seem to elect war and violence.

If government doesn't give more money towards Israel's defense, then the governmental officials, including Bibi, should stand at the borders to protect Israeli citizens. This is getting to be a joke and the ones that are laughing are our enemies.

Who says these guttersnipes need encouragement? Protests, riots, rage and violence are what they live for. But Obama surely doesn't help matters.

Quite the contrary that some people said the IDF and other "security" forces were caught"off guard," the IDF and other security forces are quite prepared for handling this as they have been practising for years by shooting Jews on private Jewish land with plastic bullets and have used "crowd control" quite effectively against JEWS!!! I guess we will FINALLY geto see all their training used against Arabs for a change, but don't count on it. It appears that the "settlers" are a bigger threat to the incompetance in Israeli government than the terrorists are!!!

for a tiny state, its army is superb in quelling riots

how much more jail capacity does Israel have before they can't arrest any more people? that's why the US Border Patrol continues to "catch and release" millions of illegals because many illegals would actually prefer to "live" in a us prison than to try and survive in Mexico where there are no jobs and they are caught in a trap between vicious drug gangs in Mexico and Border Patrol agents in the US.

Of our enemies is really dangerous.israel can't afford to lose even a single war.idf needs to have more merkava and iron dome.we should be thankful from this threats because they have forced us to have an update and strong defence industries.look at trophy aps.its worth is equal with the history of arabs.israel needs instead of sending soldiers to war,should send robots to not endanger the life of soldier.

mm the best way is for the idf, protect hes cityciens what ever it cost.dont lisen to obama then he for sure dont protect use.the flottilia, do what is rigth stop them and send them away bach from where the come ,if the using force , idf will do whats necesairey. on for all it has to be said: israel is not a penuts state

what update u have in iran? ur president corupt goverment, update ur goverment then maybe u got a democratie. till now iran hase dictator ship and people are pure , while ur gov taks the money in and send the population on by one in to jail or execution. so dont talk about update

May God Bless Israel and protect the jewish people. Please quit giving away your land for peace, it doesn't work.

Next time, when Abbas comes waging his tail for funds to "pay " his administration with - (Swiss Banks) DEDUCT the costs, damages, injuries to Israeli Police officers, IDF, civilians, property, and security operations. In Lebanon, both FATAH, HAMAS, as well as Hizbollah and the "Ambassador of Palestine to Lebanon" are inciting and encouraging masses to assemble at and violate our borders. So they are doing it with knowledge and approval from Abbas and his sleeping partners. Whatever their premeditated provocations cost Israel to organize appropriate defense - including manpower, equipment, provisions - should be DEBITED from the PA funds. If there is added expense needed for legitimate defense - it should be paid by those who provoke the violence.
