1. I hope Israel has a signed contract for
seadog1946 ,   Arthur Kill, NJ   (09.30.11)
those 3 new u-boats that Germany will construct for the IDF/INF.
2. Mrs. Merkel should read accurately her fathers Bible!
Jouko ,   Finland   (09.30.11)
Merkel is priests daughter and should know better to whom Jerusalem belongs. Merkel should keep quiet because she comes from Natzi background.
3. Ms. Merkel fails to understand
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.30.11)
The effect of the ersatz "Palestinians'" unilateral decision to approach the United Nations (by way of side-stepping meaningful negotiations with Israel) simply was to abrogate all existing agreements with Israel. Having come out on the losing end of six wars and having engaged in seven decades of unremitting terror against Jews both in Israel and the Diaspora, I think the ersatz "Palestinians" have the same right to make demands as the Allies permitted Germany to make following the Second World War. Remember that one, Chancellor?
4. I wonder, what does Merkel say about the nearly
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (09.30.11)
daily lobbing of rockets from Gaza at the civilian population of Israel. Aren't these acts provocative, and if so, how come we never hear about scolding the perpetrators and those who are so eager to receive a "state" handed over to them without any commitments...??
5. For 18 years Gilo has always been going to stay Israel
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (09.30.11)
For 18 years Gilo has always been going to stay Israel, so what is the fuss all about? Nothing has changed, Gilo will continue to be part of Israel so why does anyone. let alone everyone object to Israel building there while Abbas avoids negotiating a boarder?
6. what's don't you understand Merkel?
Roy ,   Canada   (09.30.11)
We, the Jewish nation of the world, ARE NOT INTERESTED in sharing Jerusalem with the muslims! Its out country, its our home, its our right! Is it clear for you now???... And the Germans are the LAST that should have anything to say about it. We haven't forgoten!
7. Chancellor Merkel, We will NEVER Forget that it was Also
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (09.30.11)
unacceptable to G-D hater Hitler and his vile Nazis that Jews lived in Germany and the rest of Europe. Chancellor Merkel, you make it clear it is also unacceptable for Jews to build, live and breathe in the eternal Jewish Holy City of Jerusalem. Jerusalem is the place of the sacred Temple Mount, the site of the First and Second Jewish Temples. Around the world, all of the Believers of the One Glorious, Awesome, Magnificent G-D of the Universe eagerly await the building of the Third Temple. Why are you trying to stop this?
8. Question For ms merkel Does germany Have
(09.30.11)
Resrtictions For germans To Build In germany, If Not Why? Please Do Explain. Has germany PAID REPERATIONS TO ALL JEWISH FAMILES YOU LOST EVERYTHING From hitler's ATTEMPT at Jewish Genocide? Please Do Answer!!! Baruch Hashem/ Shabat Shalom
9. The EU should give the Palestinians part of Germany...
Jeff ,   USA   (09.30.11)
then we will see how Merkel's opinion changes.
10. To n° 4, Jehudah
Marcela Araújo ,   Brazil   (09.30.11)
... As I already said, You are obstinate. And you will keep acting, like you are acting... You must understand that attention means not always conflict. I will just wait for this moment of insanity over...
11. The Nouse is tightening slowly
Raed ,   Palestine   (09.30.11)
Israel's credibility has long been eroding. maybe Israel should send Sarah B to lecture Merkel about settlements legality.
12. Housing problem ?
Aly   (09.30.11)
Your God is still looking for a place to live ? Israel with its latest housing probs would be a difficult place for him too . And Bibi would try to sell him stolen land .
13. Tell Ms. Merkel, Abbas refused Quart. Plan
Bridget   (09.30.11)
and refused negotiations even with the ten-month freeze. "Peace" with Hamas, Islamic Jihad, etc., even during a "truce" does not prevail. Show her the evidence of which she must not have been apprised. Israel has put up with enough propaganda and bias while continues to aid avowed enemies. Tell her "Time for Israel's Unilateral..."
14. Merkel should SHUT UP
Brod ,   USA   (09.30.11)
Merkel should stop being a tool of AntiSemitism from Eurabia. She should shut up. If she is a true Judeo-Christian who knows her Bible she should support Israel. The Land of Israel is GOD-GIVEN and GOD-RESTORED to the Nation of Israel. Merkel, read your Bible before opening your mouth.
15. Germans are 100 percent right
David ,   USA   (09.30.11)
Bibi is a total disaster for any peace and needs to go. Israel is turning into an outlaw nation and they are not helping an already violatile situation that is about to explode. The Germans are one of ISraelis only good friends in Europe .
16. Who cares what Angela "IM Erika" Merkel says?
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (09.30.11)
17. This is ALL bec. of Obama!
Gábor Fränkl   (09.30.11)
It's his and only his fault again and againto publically "humiliate" his Israeli allies. If he would not have opened his hostile mouth, this would not have ensued from the Euros!
18. TO ANGELA MERKEL ,
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (09.30.11)
Remember the six million dead and keep quiet ,you have ZERO right to criticise Israel....ever.
19. Angela Merkel , just keep your mouth shut.
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.30.11)
we don't want to hear more words, I am so tired of your hypocrisy, and your double standards.
20. Who can arbitrate?
NilsG ,   Helsingborg, Sweden   (09.30.11)
In all that is holy, or of great worth, or has great power - who can arbitrate? Who has not lost all credibility from both sides? Who is left? Ms Merkel was born 9 years after the end of WW II and she is still supposed to carry that burden. Germany, because of its history, has tended to side with Israel, but ...
21. Merkel = b.s.
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.30.11)
22. to 11
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (10.01.11)
If Israel's credibility eroding, you never even had one, Raed ! All your rhetoric is built on fraud and lies, beginning from your nation's name.Your actions are all about terror and intimidations and lies.. And I would really like to see, how long would you survive without Israel, who is providing your life line:power, water,medicine,lots of money, etc..Can you immagine yourself doing anything other, then blaming and intimidating Israel and trying to take away what was never yours ? Is there anything more eroding, then you and your idea ? So whose "nouse" is "tightening", Raed ?
23. re germanys (moral) "right to criticize" israel...
eporue ,   europe   (10.01.11)
question: do you think (a) germany should just look away/shut up or (b) germany should rubber-stamp/support everything israel wishes? tia
24. never trust germans fully in general
Chinaman ,   Australia   (10.01.11)
I used to work with a group of germans enginneers....one day one of them after a few drinks said, " Biggest mistake was to attack Russia otherwise we owns the world! Sick until today......merkel Israel made many mission immpossible to save thier people.......you fail to protect the Isaeli during the munich olympic! Shut up!!! end
25.  11 Hey "Nouse",
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (10.01.11)
You are right ,Merkel does need to brush up on her facts.
26. To Merkel: Nuts
Dave Lev ,   Los AngelesUSA   (10.01.11)
Just 69 short years ago, a fracton of mans existence on this planet, Rommel was in North Africa..his plan was to conquor all of North Africa..and eventually occupy the vast oil fields to the East..Iraq, Iran, etc. At the same time, the Mufti in Jerusalem, saw an opporunity to make Palestine Judenrein, Jew free. He went to Hitler and asked for 1-2 Waffen SS Divisions...to be formed in the occupied Greece and the Balkins. They would move South and West..and link up with guess who, Rommel. There were 600,000 Jews in Palestine, who were preparing themselves for the final battle ( holed up in the north). Dayan was among them. There was no chance of winnig..but they would give it the Masada try. If Britain was denied the oil and other resources..her task to defeat Germany would have been much harder, if not impossible. That happening, well, there would not have been a Pals-Israeli conflict since 47. A reminder to Merkel...her peoples barbarism under Hitler, helped create the sympathy for the worlds remaining Jews, part and parcel of the UNGA decision in 47 creating two states one JEWISH, the other Arab. We Jews accepted a miniscule land, while the Arabs attacked. (They already had a state called Trans-Jordan, which is the real British Mandate Palestine. Now, the Pals (Arabs) want to reverse history, acting as the victors. They say, Western Palestine ( W. Bk and Jerusalem) is rightfully theirs. When the Arabs attacked Israel in 48they gambled and lost. Had they won, well, again, no further discussions. We Jews owe the Arabs nothng. Alls fair in love and war as the old expression goes. Merket should focus on aiding the EU..many of which countries her people attacked and slaughtered in 6 short years. BTW, Germany never paid a mark of reparations after WW1. To Israel: build, baby build in your capital Jerusalem. If the Pal dont like it..say "nuts".
27. seriosly
matan ,   canada   (10.01.11)
shes german, we didnt go allong with them lol
28. Europeans paying already price for hating Israel...
who cares   (10.01.11)
Look at the EU - they love to ruin themselves economically, socially etc. Basically this is because the bible says : ''He who curses Israel will be cursed !'' Really : Mrs Merkel has no clue about ME matters and still she is intervening - thats called arrogance and stupidity and is leading to selfdestruction ! Look at Germany these days : They voted to guarantee for 200 billion euros..........they dont know what they are doing - its madness caused by hate of Israel........
29. If in troubles, nations always beat the jews......
who cares   (10.01.11)
and Germany is in increasingly BIG troubles - they now do guarantee for 200 billion euros - I wonder how they can find one minute of sleep anymore...But : He who curses Israel will be cursed ! Poor Germany !
30. IT'S ALL OR NOTHING
Robert ,   farmington,wv   (10.01.11)
