31. Antisemitism
Fred ,   LA   (12.04.12)
Jewish hatred manifest itself as various forms. Now this is the new trend for those a hole Europeans who watched and helped 6 million Jews perish just some 60 years ago. In this troubled world now with Assad warming up his chemicals and Iran finishing up its nukes and world economy going to hell all these jerks have in mind is israel building homes. I say screw them.
32. One more reason to vote Bibi
nelly ,   israel   (12.04.12)
Euronazis hate him? Good.So we can trust him
33. Thank God we're not listening

34. The Jewish Legacy
zivron   (12.05.12)
Since the shoah the consciuosness of the Jews has become farmore aggressive surrounded by Jihadi and Arab Nationalism.Demographics lock paths to peace with ten million plus Palestinian and six millions Jews in Israel and the ratios are impossible for anything but a truce and a Palestinian Autonomy/Demilitirized State of Five Million.
35. Settlements
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (12.05.12)
So Europe has appointed itself as the determiner of justice. This is the Europe that ignores the Turkish genocide of the Kurds, ignores the killing of tens of thousands in the Sudan, ignores the killing of the Coptic Christians by the Egyptian Muslims, ignores the passage of arms from Iran to Syria through Iraq, but rises up against Jewish settlements. Israel should dedicate settlements to the relocation of Kurds, Coptic Christians, and other refugees, and force Europe to either recognize and oppose these atrocities, or, to cease its hypocritical opposition to the settlements.
36. Ezekiel 13:10 to 16
Wayne Burke ,   Tampa, USA   (12.05.12)
Because they lead the people astray, saying, “Peace,” when there is no peace, and because, when a flimsy wall is built, they cover it with whitewash, therefore tell those who cover it with whitewash that it is going to fall. The wall is gone and so are those who whitewashed it, those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for her when there was no peace.
37. One sentence is 100% correct:
SD Charger ,   San Diego   (12.05.12)
"Netanyahu is trying to instill in his voters from the Right the sense that Israel is under siege; that the whole world is against us. " I agree with that statement. The whole world would love to see Israel shrink and be over-run by the Pal's. Israel needs a King David right now to keep that from happening. Who cares what anyone else says? They do NOT live under constant bombardment. If you elect an Obama type, Israel will be over-run. At least Bibi has the chutzpa to say they will build anywhere they want too. Now, he needs to back it up and start building housing tracts on ISRAEL'S land.
38. The Israeli National Mood
NormanF ,   USA   (12.05.12)
Attila Somfalvi, like fellow Israeli leftists is out of touch with the Israeli national mood. Almost no Israeli Jew thinks the Arabs want to negotiate or genuinely want peace. The fact the two state solution is dead has nothing to do with Netanyahu and everything to do with Arab rejection of Israel's existence. Europe and America - along with Somfalvi have not grasped the fact that the Israeli attitude has changed and that Israelis are fed up with the Arabs. Ganging up on Israel won't change the reality in the slightest that peace is impossible - and it won't force Israel to give up its vital interests.
39. World's covert WAR AGAINST THE JEWS via "Palestinian" ARABS!
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (12.05.12)
40. Well ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.05.12)
Prime Minister Netanyahu probably doesn't care what the Europeans think (Europe is, after all, nothing but a giant Jewish cemetery) and Obama's hands are tried by a very pro-Israel United States Congress and an extremely pro-Israel American population. I don't much care, either. Israel is a sovereign state, and the world has no right to put Israel under a microscope, day in and day out. The world would do well to understand that the Israeli electorate has moved to the right .... and they are largely responsible for why Israel has done so. Only Israelis elect their government. Everyone else can just back off.
