1. Enough political correctness
Arnold ,   Canada   (12.14.11)
I hate when politicians and other leaders of groups pussyfoot around an issue. The attack of the IDFmilitary site, or the attacks on mosques is WRONG. It is against the law and the law needs to be upheld or you end up with anarchy.
2. Hmmm - !!! .
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (12.14.11)
Israeli government violent too' Samaria's Chief Rabbi Elyakim Levanon condemned the rioters – but also the government. In a conversation with the Kipa website, Levanon accused the government of "using violence under the pretense of democracy." He slammed the conduct of the government and its leaders, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak, "who are toughening their stance, and as a result, prompting extremists to do inconceivable things. There is no reason to threaten to evacuate outpost, while a solution can be reached anywhere. "This is violence and this is violence," he added. "There is violence against Jews on the part of those young extremists who run wild, and there is the violence of the Israeli government against peaceful and quiet settlers." Levanon accused the defense minister of "igniting fire". - all because of the defense minister's whim to evacuate buildings which don't bother anyone." Comment - I think the State is on a wery dangerous path, contrary to the Word of HASHEM.

Break forth into singing and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child! For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife," saith the LORD. 2Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations; spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes. 3For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left, and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. 4"Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed; neither be thou confounded, for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. 5For thy Maker is thine husband" the LORD of hosts is His name" and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth shall He be called. The State can never defeat HIM. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nxNqxruPEE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW4OPRb4uTs Arn.Sweden.
4. All the arms brother need are for..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (12.14.11)

5. using the army to uproot Jews will lead to much more
yoni ,   tel aviv   (12.14.11)
The fact is that when the army comes to destroy your towns and home you can expect outrage distrust and even hatred God forbid. Stop using the IDF for the destruction of Jewish homes and families.
6. Let the IDF stick to their job
Fred ,   Jerusalem   (12.14.11)
If the IDF continues to destroy Jewish homes and evicts families ,they have lost their purpose. the IDF is not holy. Defening Jews is HOLY.
7. These try to reduce the flames, those crank up the gas
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (12.14.11)
What we're seeing on one side are settler leaders and leading rabbis condemning the vandalism and hooliganism (no, it's not "terror") - the sort of condemnations we don't get when Arab terrorists carry out an act of violence that takes lives. But what do we hear from the other side? That these are "terrorists" (Barak), that the IDF should have shot to kill (Ben-Eliezer). Where are those investigations for "incitement" when we need them? Yoni and Fred are right. The IDF should stick to its primary task: DEFENSE. If expulsions or demolitions are ordered, let the burden fall on the police.
8. Time for Barak to go".......
Anna M Sedd ,   Rome-Italy   (12.14.11)
It s him who made the decision to go against fellow Jews...he should go this year,meaning soon....
9. "Reverse Birthright" for Israeli Jews, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flavio ,   Sao Paulo, Brazil   (12.14.11)
Diaspora Jews are very familiar to Birthright and other similar programs; from several weeks to a whole year, they are intended to boost aliyah an to strengthen the jewish identity of their participants. It seems that Israel could very well use a similar idea, sort of a "reverse birthright": every Israeli should be encouraged to spend some months in Chutz Laaretz, living in a Jewish community is Americas, Europe, SAfrica or Australia. I bet the vast majority would come back home much more aware of what binds them to their fellow Jews and more tolerant to one another. It is terrible to see so much hate, so much intolerance among Jews in Israel! Can't you see that this is exactly what our enemies dream about? We have so, so much in common!!! What happened to shevet achim gam yachad, to kol israel arevim ze laze?! It is a shame, shame on you!!!!!!!!!!!
10. Attacking Palestinians OK, but not IDF
Samer ,   West Bank   (12.15.11)
Israel is happy when Jewish settler attack on Palestinians...but when they attack IDF soldiers it is a problem. Israel is a bad country.
11. Hannukah was first and foremost a Jewish revolt against the
TzVi ,   NY   (12.15.11)
Hellinists.
12. #9 better idea
(12.15.11)
How about "reverse birthright" for Leftist Israelis in places like Paris, Marseille and Malmo? Not in the tourist sections, where the reall people live. Places where they can appreciate what it means to be a Jid.
13. To #10
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (12.15.11)
Israeli's are not happy when anyone is attacked. Jews against Palestinians or the reverse. For certain, some on both sides cherish violence.The truth is most of us find violence abhorrent and deeply wish it absent from our lives. These tit-for-tat outbursts are child-like and serve only negative purposes. It is shameful, for both of our societies, that leadership is unable to rise above the emotion and strive for peace.
14. "Milhemet achim"
Mike Carmel ,   Rishon le Zion   (12.15.11)
"Milhemet achim" in Hebrew when translated to English is CIVIL WAR. There is no such thing as "brother's war".
15. The army's task
Ed Codish ,   Pardessiya, Israel   (12.15.11)
To all who write that it is not the army's task to evict Jews: In a democracy, the army's task is to carry out any mission assigned it by the government.
16. Army task
Ed Codish ,   Pardessiya, Israel   (12.15.11)
For Fred, Roni, Raymond: In a democracy, the task of the army is to carry out instructions of the government. The army does not decide what to do, and you and the settler supporters don't give it orders. Ed Codish Pardessiya
17. Nr 2
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (12.15.11)
In the Wisdom of Syrac it is writtten - " like a man eunuchs who train after robbing a virgin her innocence, is the one who tries to administer justice through violence " !. Comment - The LORD of Hosts is The Warrior King of the whole Earth. HE is the ONE with Victory in War. HE is the State and Military Force Incarnated. HIS Words , Will and Intention, are here in Talback Nr 2 as Esajah 54:1-5. The State and Military Force of Israel are not Heeding HIM, but act Contrary to HIS purpose here written. The State and Military Force of Israel are fallen astray, and HE is therefore not With Them in what They do against the settlers. The settlers not submitting themselves to the Rule of State and Military, are therefore in Upproar against the Anointed of HASHEM, The State and Military, ( compere the fallen Saul, Israels first King), and HE is therefore not with them either. So - What is the Soulution ? - The State and Military cant resore Order if they dont Heed HIM, as in Syrac above, but will face all kinds of Disobediance, since they themselves is Disobedient towards HIM, and are the Source of Disobedience in the Spiritual Realm. The State and Military are here Higher in Rank before HIM, and more is to be Demanded and Required from them, compared to from the Settlers. Arn.Sweden.
18. World Peace
Rabbi Irwin Goldman ,   BEERSHEVA ISRAEL   (12.16.11)
The Wacko Report is very clear at solving for world peace initiative of the UN. If Israel would only stand up to be Israel, the whole system would actually work. Now is the time to Reconstruct the Holy Temple!
