1. PEACE
SJOERD RUURD VDV ,   MULTIVERSE   (11.06.11)
PEACE THROUGH SUPERIOR FIREPOWER COULD BE SAID BY EVERYBODY/ANY PARTY ANYWHERE, ANYTIME.
2. "Peace thru strenth"
Luke ,   South Africa   (11.06.11)
Right on and to the point !
3. Excellent article!
Devorah   (11.06.11)
4. Duh?!.. but let's look at the positive side: it took a long
tom ,   tel aviv   (11.06.11)
time even for the general, Israeli population to arrive at the unshakeable truth, that there cannot and never will be peace with the Arabs unless they are completely stripped of their power of oil-supply, or plan B: stripped of ALL means of waging wars! We are talking no handguns and no sharp knives!!! You can laugh all you want, but that's the state of mind of the devoted followers of the Religion of Peace: mad dogs without a leash.....
5. Agree, completely. Good summary.
Yossef   (11.06.11)
6. 88 Years AGO ....
FO ,   Belgium   (11.06.11)
Vladimir Jabotinsky wrote in 1923, in nearly the same subject, two marvellous, intelligent and prophetic articles: "The Iron Wall" and the "Ethics of the Iron Wall". It was considered at that time, and even today by leftist, as subversive literature. The two articles are available on Internet. A must !
7. Form a proper perspective
Jk ,   Europe   (11.06.11)
A proper formation of prospective future needs to be formed on the european side... What must be understood is that muslims dont integrate into any society other than theirs , and strive to change or influence others to their ways ... The moment they form a significant population they try influence democracy to suit their needs ... Europe will soon feel the heat ... Just because we dont feel the heat now doesnt mean its non existential ... Imagine living in a society with majority of muslims ... Trust me it aint pretty...
8. WWow
Hertzel ,   Tveria   (11.06.11)
He stole these words from me one by one. I have felt that same thing for 10 years new, since the results of the disastourus oslo agreements started to show the true face of our enemy. It is time to say it: Rabin, Peres and thier leftist cronies had brought Israel near destruction more than Iran would ever be able to do. They put life int an enemy that was decimated and kicked into a faraway land (Tunis) brought it back into the very heart of our country, and in force too... gave them weapons and the means to fight us,,, WOW, what country in the history of man kind done that with it's enemy that is sworn to destroy it??? Our jewish morals, stretched to twisted lengths will bring about our demise, look at this insane swap of releasing 1200 killers, that for sure will kill more than one jew in the near future , but jewish morals yet justifies it.... LOL. in the middle East, to survive trough strength, first you will need to let go of those "morals" .... Are we going to do that? I am.... But what about you, and you, and you???
9. Only cease fires through strength....
Trumpeldor   (11.06.11)
Nothing more to expect from backward neighbours
10. Sounds like somebody read Jabotinsky.

11. 1 option left: SECURE BIG ISRAEL, nonviolent transfer.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (11.06.11)
12. The rebirth of a bunch of terrorist,now sitting in UN
Anna M Sedda ,   Rome-Italy   (11.06.11)
This is one of the best definitions of what PLO and Hamas are:a few unemployed terrorist that where given money and credibility,until they seat and rule us like stupid.You could not say that better David.Congratulations for this article out of which we should remind ouself WHO we are dealing with and WHO our money has been given to...
13. THANKS FOR A GREAT ARTICLE
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (11.06.11)
Such common sense .Brilliant and concise and 100% emes.
14. At the beginning, David Ben-Gurion too
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (11.07.11)
his European education and persona and tried to graft it onto the fledgling state of Israel and, in priniciple, towards our relationships with Arabs and other Mideastern people. This "Europeanization" of the Israeli outlook has haunted and diminished us since.
15. Herzl re Jewish morals:
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (11.07.11)
Depending on interpretation of Torah and Talmudic views, the exchange of one prisoner (Gilad Schalit) for a host of actual and potential terrorists could be understood as unjustified and even immoral considering the risk to civilians and the threat of repetition (kidnapping).
16. would somone explan "big israel" to me?
Jonathan ,   MN/US   (11.07.11)
anyone?
17. Jabotinstsky and/or Ha'ivri... Right on the button
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (11.07.11)
18. Resounding Israeli victory is the key to peace.
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.07.11)
Europe and Asia enjoy permanent peace only because of the WW II Allies' resounding victory over Germany and Japan. Throughout history, long periods of peace were preceded by resounding military victories. The key to peace for Israel is absolute victory over "Palestinian" poseurs with no concessions whatsoever. This tiny land is ours and we must claim it in full.
19. Jonathan #16 there are 2 versions
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.07.11)
First one is based on the original Mandate territory, which is all of Jordan and Israel and the disputed territories. That is what international says and the UK violated. Second one is based on the territory of the Kingdom of Israel at it's height - Nile to Euphrates
20. Palestinians want Israel gone but we cannot absorb thm all.
bob kirk ,   las vegas usa   (11.07.11)
Yes the truth is that the PA and hamas etc want Israel gone and don't accept us however we cannot absorb the Arabs of Judea and Samaria into Israel. There must be no further transfer of territory to the PA till they accept Israel as a Jewish state and give up relocating Paleestiniasns into Israel.
21. David Haivri is a criminal who endanger Jews
Abraham ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.08.11)
David Haivri is a criminal who was arrested for celebrating the murder of Rabin and has an extensive criminal record. When confronted about his repeated endorsement of various antisemitic Christian missionaries, he responded by linking to an antisemitic website which tries to endanger Jews and calls for harassment. I'm not sure a why a right wing religious settler "leader" would repeatedly do such insane things against fellow right wing Jewish activists, but if he's representative of the "settlers," we're beginning to understand why the entire world is so biased against them.
22. peacethrough strength
wicek ,   phila.pa   (11.22.11)
I totally agree! We cannot do anything but be strong and aggressive when we need to be. The rest of theworld will never support us.Our biggest problem is the outspoken anti Israel statements by other Jews. Yes, we have been raised by liberal parents. Morls must respondto the situationand our peaceful selves have been laughed at and given the Muslims/Arabs and step up. ENOUGH!
