How some Israelies want to commit suicide and take the rest with them. Must be the flouride in the water. .

Ziv Lenchner obviously knows nothing about Israel's economy! Aid that Israel gets from the US is less than 2% of Israel's GDP and 80% of it has to be spent in the US and it creates a large number of jobs there. And there are moves afoot to refuse American aid, which is all military, because of the strings attached to it. And Ziv Lenchner knows nothing about the Peace Process either! Abbas wants a Jew free State! 9,000 Israelis were uprooted from Gaza and it was the biggest Army operation since the Yom Kippur war and it took 10 days. Approximately 500,000 Israelis live in the West Bank, so who could evacuate them? Abbas wants all prisoners released! Which country would do that? And what a foolish request! Abbas wants Israel to withdraw to the pre-'67 borders and it can't do that. Ziv Lenchner should maybe write about fashion or something, but definitely not about politics or economy.

I'm afraid we will only wake up when it's too late. Extreme Zionists and settlers are destroying our democracy and our future.

It isn't fluoride. Leftists have delusions of perfection and genius, so they honestly believe they cannot be wrong or make mistakes, even when confronted by reality. They ignore reality, and when reality becomes unavoidable they deny it, calling it a different "narrative". They believe their fantasy world where they are right is just as real as objective reality. It is not for nothing that psychiatrists increasingly recognize Leftism as a serious psychiatric illness.

Obama has 2 advisors (if you do not count the money man and political helpers. They are Professor Khalidy and Professor Cornell West (Princeton Univ, Womens, Afro, Gay and minorities studies). He listens ONLY to these 2 people, and they are very smart

Sir, by your definition all Israelis are communists, and that that they should all be living in a loony bin. Wait a moment, we are!!!

The Balfour allowed for 'one only Jewish state in Palestine' - not three. Muslims were already given 22 vast states which never existed 110 years ago. World needs a Coptic 2-state in Egypt.

the left are Controlled by the people who do not seek to bless us.. the new ' useful idiots'...if you know what I mean..

This unbelievably idiotic article provides an excellent example of the death wish of the lunatic left. The left is shrinking in numbers, as it is abandoned by intelligent people. What remains of the left grows ever more dumb, suicidal and desperate each day. These people really crave turning Israel into a 9 mile wide concentration camp!

Earth to leftist dreamers. Israel can't make peace unless the Palestinians want to and they don't want to. What they want is for Obama to get them free concessions like a prisoner release, freeze or the West Bank. Obama has been duped into believing that Israeli concessions will equal peace but that is not true. We'll know Palestinians want peace when they say they accept a Jewish majority Israel for the long term. That has never been the case.

What the messianists among the settlers desire is exactly the confrontation most Israelis fear in their hope that it will give them an excuse for the expulsion of west bank arabs to points east. Only consideration of border adjustments, land swaps, the sharing of greater Jerusalem and Palestinian right of return to Palestine only offers a way out for both peoples.

Israel can wish it that Palestinians will settle for a right of return into Palestine but that is only wishful thinking for now. In the meantime, there are many, many Jews who view the West Bank as part of biblical Israel and not an occupation (like it or not) and that is where many will settle. Israeli governments, left and right have supported settlement.

What on earth does a weak foreign leader from a large, decaying neo-imperialist empire, with little deep knowledge of Israeli and world history--or even American history--have to do with this issue of freedom? Most American voters chose either to vote for Romney, or not to vote at all. If he couldn't inspire his own countrymen, he shouldn't be expected to inspire us.

almost fun to read your grotesque utterances : We, the israelis we LOVE to kill our ennemies ? So ridiculous, It shows your basic ignorance of what it means to be on the front line exchanging bullets with the other side_ not one second of love; just fear, sweat, high anxiety.But it seems you tke your infos from the "Pallywoood " studios.Now about negociations , please detail who is missing, postponing, evading, the very basic and minimal criterias under wich a feeble agreement will be written : in your blind hate , you would state we israelis ( except the illuminati of your kind ) are the deaf, arrogant, brutal , fanatics refusing the charming, clever, graceful death to the jews singing contest broadcasted by the arabs ? Listen Mr Lenchner, get your acts and your writings coherent : Go live with your arab brethren, in Ramallah or Gaza.I will gladly " liberate " 10 dunams of " occupied " arab soil to set you free from the evil of living among us

We are going to woop your asses time and again till there ain't any left to woop so you can just save your bs for your handlers.

The writer is seriously deluded. As much coverage as Obama's visit received in Israel, Lechner still fails to recognize what happened and what didn't happen. Obama offered some welcome words - especially those correctives to his damaging Cairo speech of 2009 - but substantively, he still feels that responsibility for making things right falls to Israel, and only Israel. If there's a problem with Turkey, Israel has to fall on its sword. If there's a problem, Israel has to stand down. If there's a problem with the Palestinians, Israel has to take the first step. And the second, and the third. He knows Netanyahu won't play this game with any enthusiasm, so he continues working to undermine Israel's democratic leadership. Obama just can't accept that maybe, just maybe, Netanyahu is right after all. That's something Lechner can't imagine either.

has for most proud, nationalist Israelis? Every comment that expresses the repulsion of such ignorant thinking, actually drives this author to the greater far reaches of Leftist insanity, cross-vision and fantasies of a greater moral consciousness.

In fact the very opposite has been proven. Every Israeli withdrawal has been followed by increased waves of terrorism and violence. When will people learn that every concession Israel makes his perceived as weakness and perpetuates the conflict.

...again, and again, and again.

#12. The vast majority of Israelis are fed up with the lunatic leftist wet dream of turning Israel into a 9 mile wide concentration camp. It is obvious to any literate child, able to read a map, that this is a prescription for Israel's demise. Leftists can no longer peddle their destructive idiocy to Israelis.

Detroit. Or should I more accurately call it, "Nueva Somalia"? Chant those leftist mantras whilst the situation goes down the toilet!!

certainly far from the truth, my truth and that of many others.

Israel dictates all the terms the vanquished pals can only act out on terror, their brains are stuck on stupid.

# Benarsi. I don't know why Ynet continues to publish Benarsi's hateful disgusting and invariably factually wrong comments. Jews are a growing majority in Israel, including Judea and Samaria. The solution is to cut off all funding for Fictional Palestine and pay "Palestinians" only to leave.

That should put an end of all the pal babble on and on and on. Never was or will be a palestine, that would mean an end of israel. Aint gonna happen.

self respect, protecting sovereignty are the hallmarks for the survival nation. Israel has been let down by peres, barak, netanyahu, olmert the worst and now bibi again with his apology to turkey. Soldiers hide in tanks because of fear and do not respond to attacks-why does the idf not pick this up in their screening of candidates. At some point time runs out. Half of israelis are brave stalwarts. The other half led by haaretz and their winograd failed hero are bunch of pathetic cowards. Zohar says go back to poland and give me the keys. he may be right. if olmert were ever to regain power in upcoming elections, he would destroy what is left of israel and have rockets paralysing ben gurion airport and the commercial heart of israel. Israel is committing suiicide. The only hope is new leadership like bennett, feiglin, leiberman, and lapid. Bibi is yellow to the bone along with livni, olmert, ramon, peres, beillin and ben ami and the list goes on.

This guy's got it backwards, but he'll never learn. Israel and its people have often fallen into the trap of suing the Arabs for "peace." But Arab hatred of Jews has always saved Israel from carrying out the mistake.
