1. Woo hoo! Go Arab Spring! Go Democracy
Jacob Erickson ,   Holon, Israel   (11.15.11)
Yeah... nothing's changed but less control in arab governments from extremists taking over.
2. Evict settlers for peace with all Arabs
Oz Strich ,   Bury-In-Sand   (11.15.11)
It's obvious to all the sane people on the left that as long as there are Jewish settlers living in Israel, we will NEVER get peace.
3. "Israel " faces trouble on all sides.
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.15.11)
try to make peace with palestinians and see then how all these problems will be easily solved.
4. This guy must be a genius
Israeli   (11.15.11)
No one can predict how the new leadership will look like?????? Egypt and Israel on a collision course????? We are in the midst of an earthquake???? wow Mr Genius, tell us something we didn't know. How can these pearls of wisdom come out of your mouth when it is constantly stuffed with assorted sandwiches.
5. dagan says suleiman willbe president
marv   (11.15.11)
ben eliezer disagrees with dagan on the future outcome of elections with egypt. Under barak, israel is nervous about taking the usual actions to defend itself. israel should prepare for the worst if islamics take over. If war should break out in the future with egypt, then barak obama is finished as he hastened the exit of mubarak who was moderate and rational compared to the conspiratorials of cairo who peddle hamas distortions and control its subjects like vegetables through the mosques.
6. Winston Churchill..
predictions ,   WORLD   (11.15.11)
Winston Churchil said that what makes a good poliitcian is the ability to predict what will happen next day , or next month or year- and then afterwards- the ability to explain why it didnt happen Anyways it doesnt take a seer or politician to see how damaging the muslim brothers can be - we are seeing it now thru all the world
7. @Salma #3
Stephen ,   Manchester UK   (11.15.11)
If you think that the various Arab conflicts that the Arabs have had with Israel have ever been about the Palestinians then you are clueless. The Arab Nations do not care about you. They have used you and misused your plight. Wake up!
8. Time to retire from politics
David ,   On this planet   (11.15.11)
Knesset Member Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, a close friend of deposed Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak,and of the Turkish Prime Minister , together with President Peres should consider resigning, Those two old timer Mapainicks should retire and play with their Grandchildren, they can no longer lead
9. To Salma #3...Dou you really think..
Richard ,   The Hague Holland   (11.15.11)
they, what you like to believe are you brothers and sisters, give a damn about the Palestinians. Get real Salma...
10. wishful thinking
awr ,   jerusalem israel   (11.15.11)
salma, you live in a dreamworld, wake up and smell the coffee. palestinians dont want peace, and the rest of the arabs could care less what happens to the palestinians
11. To "Salma" from "Palestine"
Nick ,   Sweden   (11.15.11)
Since the 1st day of its existence Israel has been asking for nothing else but peace. Fought 4 defensive wars and returned conquered land in exchange for hope of peace. Unparallelled in human history. What are the "palestinian" feasible proposals for peace? None.
12. response to #2
AlanEigenstein ,   North Bergen, NJ, US   (11.15.11)
"all the sane people on the left"-- do you mean that you know both of them?
13. #3 Salma
moshe ,   Tivon, Israel   (11.15.11)
Salma, How does one stop the blood thirsties: jihadists, ham, and the others ? IF Israel were to make "peace with" pals as you suggest , why would the blood thirsties agree ? NO answer ?... that means that you would NOT gamble your family on such blood thirsties. moshe

15. #2
Jayjay ,   Israel   (11.15.11)
You have no idea about the conflict here and merely repeat Arab propaganda! Its because of the insane left that we have the current problems today. Tell me, if settlers are the problem, then why didnt Arafart every mention them as stopping peace? The WB is disputed territory after Jordan, not Palestine, annexed the land after losing the war! Jews as much as Arabs have a right to build there!
16. Oz Strich / 2
Barb Wire ,   Way Out West   (11.15.11)
There are no sane people on the left.
17. Oz Strich / 2
Anna Septic ,   Germ Free State   (11.15.11)
What could you possibly know about sanity with a statement like that ?
18. Sinai should be Coptic state.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (11.15.11)
The Brits created 22 ficticious Islamic states which never existed 120 years ago. They have the onus of establishing a state for the Copts who are being eliminated. Instead of another state in Palestine, a democratic Coptic state will buffer Israel from all-round Islamic terror regimes. How about it, Britain?
19. #7 fine so let's make peace to stop them using our plight.
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.15.11)
Stephen, even if you are not clueless , you may get some ideas on how to face the new circumstances that surround "Israel" .
20. Salma! I find you here also???
Jew1 ,   Ashdod   (11.15.11)
FYI...Israel always faced problems from all the sides as we can not expect anything else from muslims. Why Israel? Look at the world, they also face only one problem - muslims!! It's not about never existed fairy-tale of palestine, but it's about their wish to wipe us out (which will never happen). Talk something new girl! Don't talk about stale stories!
21. 19 has a point
Jonathan ,   MN/US   (11.15.11)
22. #20 yea hiiiii.
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.15.11)
Jew1FYI, Palestinians are not just Muslims but Christians and Jews. you just keep living in Illusion and everything will be okay ; ))
23. #11 What BS
Dunkin Donuts ,   USA   (11.15.11)
4 Defensive wars???? The 6 day war was stared by you, the Yom Kippur war was an act of retaliation, every other war wa caused or started by you
24. # 20 is an Anti Semitic
Dunkin Donuts ,   USA   (11.15.11)
Your anto semitism is appalling. How can you come onto this site and spread your Anti Semitism to everyone.. How does it feel you dick head.. The world is facing one problem and its you and your family which is spreading a cancer. You are the real Anti Semite... Arabs are Semites also.
25. Salma get your history sorted
liz ,   Israel   (11.15.11)
Salma, you need to look to your great hero Arafat to guide you. I met him many many years ago at a lunch in London. He was well aware that the hatred of other arab nations to the pals came a very close second to the hate of Jews. You cannot rely on the great arab nation to sort your problems, if you had any brains you would get rid of your terrorists and start building a future for your kids in cooperation with Israel.
26. #21 has a point, it's just a very dull point
JEROME ,   Basalt,Colorado   (11.15.11)
It's the Pallys that have to make peace with Israel. Israel has offered peace many times! What have the pallys given or offered? DEATH, DESTRUCTION,MURDER,MAYHEM,WAR,LIES.
27. That's right
gendy ,   Suez, Egypt   (11.15.11)
You are right, we do, but who understands PEACE?
28. perhaps getting ready to pump new oil found in sinai ?
Bernard Ross ,   st anns bay, jamaica   (11.15.11)
29. Salma no 22
LION OF JUDAH   (11.15.11)
The land of Israel, belong to us the JEWS and no body else. As Rome is the capital city of the CHRISTIANS & Mecca the Capital city for Muslims,Jerusalem is the capital city of the Jewish state called ISRAEL. Christians & Muslims can live in our land of Israel,and they have to respect the law of the land,and not to TRAITORS.
30. TO#2#
Ruben Jacobi ,   UK   (11.15.11)
Settlers or no Settlersit is not in Arab genes to ever make peace with the Jewish people.
