1. Jewish invasion of Palestine has brought world global terror

2. Eretz Israel Tamid
Gady ,   Mexico City   (04.16.13)
As a Zionist-secular-diaspora-jew, I think that the powerful Medinat Israel is for sure the most important beacon of identity and survival. I for one, am willing to do anything it takes to protect the land and the people from my own trench in Mexico. Shalom le kulam!
3. Thwarting Yahweh's plans
Curtis ,   USA   (04.16.13)
Yahweh has said in His Word that He would bring the Jewish people home to Israel and no one would remove them ever again. And that He would not leave even one behind! He also has said He would grant Salvation in Zion and His Glory to Israel. Many have tried to thwart Yahweh's plans--none have succeeded. The world sure does need to face reality.
4. Some years ago,
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (04.16.13)
Palestine was for another people. It was their home. Seems that you are proud you massacred and explelled them. Then, why do you cry when they killing you? Why shouldn't they do so? If massacres were right for establishment of Israel, they will be right for its destruction.

8. Ideology
ex oleh chaddash ,   south america   (04.16.13)
I used to think like the author when I was a teen, years ago. Israel is for Sabras only. Not for us. Sad, but true.
9. # 1 LOL And Syria? Yemen? Iran? Iraq? Arabia? Jordan? etc.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!! ,   United States   (04.16.13)
the whole of Muslim brotherhood is a cancer devouring itself and, there is no known cure, thankfully. Poor you the rest of your unnatural life to live in horror of the Jews who've kicked the pals asses repeatedly. As for me ha ha ha

15. sounds like an article written for haaretz
zionist forever   (04.16.13)
We are amazed our roads are flooded every winter and our drainage collapses. We are amazed how we litter nature on our holidays We don't believe - excluding short breaks there will be peace here and that things will be better for our children Children in distress selling flags made in China at intersections for our. We buy the flags to wave from our expensive Japanese, European and BMW cars on our private mortgaged homes. The State of Israel is our fourth biggest achievement after three Eurovision wins All this article does is point out problems most of them very trivial problems or in some cases makes things that are not problems sound like them. Reminds me just like something you would expect to read on Haaretz.
16. A little problem its the land of somebody else.

Enjoy you Will have to Leave sometime.
17. #1 Stevie's hemorrhoids were caused by Israel

20. Yo Shaked Dude:lighten up.You're right, nobody wants to read
tom ,   tel aviv   (04.16.13)
upbeat/happy "news", but this it old and stale....You're much too young to sing that Alte-Kakker- Blues. Leave it to someone like Eitan Haber: he's a pro at it. Turning over rocks only to find some bugs hidden there will not fill you up with positive energy to go on& contribute to this wonderful enterprise we call ISRAEL. Please disregard whatever you've been taught in schools by the brainwashed leftist teachers: you live in an amazing place, at wonderful time!
21. Israel
Julian ,   London   (04.16.13)
# 4 Israel has been Jewish land for 3000 years. The fakestinians should join their brethren in Jordan. Check your history and realise that before 1948 there were NO arab Palestinians!
22. #1......I'm glad I'm not you.
Jay Abouaf ,   Jaffa Israel   (04.16.13)
23. Israeli Jews belong in Israel
Sam ,   Jerusalem, ISRAEL   (04.17.13)
Arabs invaded the Jewish homeland in the 7th century AD. Some Jewish survivors of the massacres survived, and clinged to the land. They are the native and original population. Later, they were joined by their distant relatives, Jewish immigrants RETURNING to Israel from a forced exile. The land was Jewish first. It always was. Archeology: synagogues, Jewish temples, Jewish writings, etc. everywhere in the land, documenting ongoing Jewish settlement in Jerusalem and Israel for 3000 years. Arabs arrived from ARABIA in the 7th century, they were the invaders. Finally, in 1948, the land was reclaimed to its original, native population - the Jews, descendants of ancient Hebrews along with Canaanite converts/intermarrieds. (How can Israeli Jews "return" to Europe, when most Israeli Jews NEVER LIVED IN EUROPE?) Why don't you tell Turks to leave and give Turkey back to the Greeks instead? Or Canadians can get out of Canada, and return the land to the First Nations there?
24. If you understand that Israel is ours 3,800 years NOT 65
Proud ,   and loud   (04.17.13)
than you will be here forever. If you sever or simply dont know your past your future is much smaller, less communal. Happy 65th er 3,800th!
25. 23 - The land was Jewish first. It always was.
split ,   US   (04.17.13)
Who said so ? ,... Name us some of your temples or any historical landmark build by Jews/Hebrews so we can admire and compare with those build by Arabs ,...
26. home
lola ,   australia   (04.17.13)
home is where you feel at home. goodonya Israel
27. full independence
Zsolt ,   Wanganui,NZ   (04.17.13)
I agree it is a true miracle the the State of Israel was established and it not only still exists today but it is thriving. Still I do not think we can call the nation of Israel independent yet. Although we possess the most perfect blueprint how to build and run a nation, we try to copy western, especially American "democracy", consumer society, and we still tie our hopes and survival to them. Especially today when this "free and democratic" western experiment is falling apart, burying the whole world with it, we should return to our roots, our core values, and achieve full independence becoming an undoubted, single, united Israeli nation including all the Jews worldwide. We are a "Nation of Priests", in other words teachers who need to showcase to the world how to unite above inherent differences, rejection, even hatred, how to build mutual guarantee focusing on what unites us instead of pointing out what separates us. This role is our key to future survival and it is the key for the world to escape the global crisis.
28. "The land was Jewish first"
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (04.17.13)
So then, the fate of Jews in Germany was pretty deserved. The land was german first.
29. #25 split 2
solomon ,   bklyn   (04.17.13)
The Temple Mount for one. There are Jewish catacombs in Judea and Samaria. Read BAR magazine for more, or better yet, the Bible. And what has been built by the arabs? Very telling that you can't list any. The crap you spout never ceases, does it?
30. I feel at home in Israel!
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (04.17.13)
Yes,I do!
