1. Democracy?? Can you imagine a US president ORDERING ........
Democracy in Israel? ,   What a joke   (06.05.12)
senators and congressmen HOW TO VOTE? (or even picking them to begin with?) It is simply unfathomable in a DEMOCRACY to even think like that!!!
2. Politics and reality
Keren ,   IL-BR   (06.05.12)
People, in general ,don't have time to wonder about political gymnastics. People,honestly,vote to what is shown to them that will be done by the person to be voted in. People are not aware if in the marketed packing sold to gain their votes is hidden a big ,fundamental ,ideological cheating. People vote because they believe. This is the case now.People voted for Bibi because people wishes to keep Israel and not to give Israel to Arabs . This is the package people "bought"and voted for.But it was just a beautiful package sold by a cheater,because now ,Bibi is ,crudely, showing his true colours:he usurped power in order to follow Olmert's policy,in other words,deliver Israel in a golden plate to all its enemies. Bibi should be kicked out of power NOW,for cheating the people of Israel.
3. @1 there's a difference....
Democracy in USA? ,   What a joke!   (06.05.12)
between "democracy" as practiced in the USA and democracy as practiced by the rest of the world. I mean really can Democracy??? Can you imagine a system which has only two parties and by law permanently blocks other parties from entering the political arena? It is simply unfathomable in a DEMOCRACY TO EVEN THINK THAT!!!!!
4. One nation, one state, one messiach!
Brad ,   U.S.A. /Israel   (06.05.12)
5. The Supreme Court should be re-named Islamic Supreme Court
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (06.05.12)
The judges are rabid Jew-haters. Their hearts belong to Islam and their mission in life is to advance the cause of colonizing, totalitarian, global Islam. The unjust judges routinely and constantly rule against Jewish rights. Muslims are ALLOWED to break many laws! In Jerusalem and throughout Israel, Muslims have been allowed to build tens of thousands of ILLEGAL buildings and settlements. Grab mega amounts of land inside the green line; threaten Jewish farmers and steal Jewish cattle. In Biblical Judea and Samaria, Israeli leaders allow Muslims to build ILLEGAL settlements on Jewish land which Muslims are doing constantly and very rapidly. HUMAN RIGHTS FOR JEWS !
6. G-D alone is the PROTECTOR of Israel !
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (06.05.12)
Netanyahu was elected by the people on a platform of being pro-Israel ! But Netanyahu runs the country like a Leftist who is rabidly anti-Israel ! Netanyahu gives totalitarian, colonizing, expansionist, global Islam, victory after victory after victory!
7. # 1 freedom in both countries is under assault
Avramele   (06.05.12)
For the last four years Republicans in congress have voted in lock step on virtually every issue. Those not considered right wing enough have faced primary challenges and been booted out with the help of wing nut billionaires like Sheldon Adelson - who delivers a free propaganda piece to Israelis daily. Both countries have their anti democratic elements but in the end the end freedom will perservere.
8. Brad clearly u don't believe ur TB cause u live in 2 nations
LMAO@u ,   Israel!   (06.05.12)
9. Support all of Israel's resident settlers
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (06.05.12)
It is they who claim their/our ancestor's lands now, and in the future for all of Israel. The false claims of a false people, the pals, is far from any logic. Their support comes from those allies notorious for murdering Jews, as are the pals, mainly, europe who said nothing while 6 million Jews were summarily rounded up and murdered as their property was stolen and all was taken from them. If the Israeli people want to maintain the resident Jewish settlers, it is to the politicians to find a way of making it happen within all their means. Israel must be sick to death of winning wars against these pals who are paid assassins of Jews and then, listening and worse, taking advice from anti semitic gentiles hell bent on destroying Israel, one way or another. Why only Israel? Should every nation be subjected to this"one only nation" condemnation of Israel alone in this matter when how many other 'muslim' nations also hold these terrorists in camps and they wont offer them near as much as these thugs get from Israel?? This is evidence once again of nothing but a form of selective anti semitism that goes contrary to everything all Jews everywhere know and believe, as Israel, her land, her People, all that the word embodies means first the land gifted to Israel, aka Jacob, israel cannot but do as she is commanded by her G-d - not by ever changing faces of the same old evil enemy who selects only Israel to unfounded and massively dishonest bigotry against the jews. BUILD BABY BUILD BY G-D!!!!!!
10. # 1 You don't know politicians very well...
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (06.05.12)
Will rogers said it best many years ago, "America has the best politicians money can buy." This has also been true of EVERY nation who 'buys' favors be they free beer and hot dogs or, by either democrat or republican candidates. Same game different players. obama has to go, think several reasons - why all fit.
11. But didn't THEY come up with the bill in the first place!!!
Riva ,   Israel   (06.05.12)
Seems to me that if the PM votes AGAINST this, the public will be very angry at him! And this may cause damage to his political career.
12. To all right wing religious ritualists
PaulZion ,   Israel   (06.05.12)
You have turned the settlements in the West Bank into the modern day golden calf. You are willing to sacrifice all morals, all humanitarian Jewish values and the national unity on the altar of settlement in occupied lands where there is private ownership, where international law does not allow civilian settlement. Even if you delude yourselves that there is not a Palestinian people ( and I agree that their national identity is contrived), they are still PEOPLE, human beings, with rights of ownership to their land. How can you deprive them of what is legally theirs and still sleep at night as a Jew with a clear conscience? You are not true believers, you go through the motions of religious fervor, corrupting all that is pure and clear and true in our prayers and our Torah for the sake of what? Destroying any chance of finding a peaceful solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict? In the process, you are tearing apart the Jewish nation and turning many who used to show understanding to your cause against you. When one takes one value, however virtuous it is, and places it above all others, to the point that one worships it more than all else, that is fascism. Therefore, you are fascists, no better than Mussolini, Franco and he whose name I will not allow myself to mention. I love Israel, I live for Israel and I have served Israel and built it for 3 decades. I will not allow you to tear it apart and destroy my dream of Israel and Zionism without a fight. I have fought in the Lebanese war and in 2 intifadas. I have seen friends and comrades killed and blown up. I will not let you defile their memories by turning Israel into a racist, fascist state.
13. no 12
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (06.05.12)
How dare You...Writing all this crap, befitting of an enemy to Israel.. It is you, who has not learned anything from the History of the Jewish People, Israel and the wars and terror, that is still being waged on us from all around...What kind of morals we are sacrificing, paul ? As long as the land in question is in our hands, we should be the only ones to decide who should keep it... And if we would even be crazy enough to return some land, who would you return it to ? Pallestinians? Been there, done that...They'll never recognize our right to exist...so why ? To Jordan ? For what ? They are not asking, they are scarred enough to take it back and be envolved with the palis. Yehuda and Shomron was liberated by ISrael's IDF over a defensive war, waged on us from all the enemies around...By all the universal standards, to the victors go the spoils, let alone their own ancient land..And even if we would decide to withdraw..Who do you give it back to..To a bunch of sworn terrorists, who will never recognize our right to exist ? Or to Jordan, who are smart enough not to claim and prevent problems... Who is it exactly, you call faschists, you poor luny...Instead of lecturing us here, you just should go to volounteer to the many good palestinian organizations...They would parade you around and believe every word you say..And BTW, what is it, that you believe in, paul ? Israel was created and incepted as a Nation state of the Jewish People. And it will only survive, if will remain such.. After you verually destroyed IsraeI with your "peaceful" solutions, you have the nerve to declare your love for Israel..Astonishing !
