1. Sinai
Get Real ,   UK   (05.03.13)
Own cell,own toilet. well fed,and books says it all. Time for Egypt to act in the Sinai, perhaps with Israel's help. Create a buffer zone Sinai wasn't returned to enable terror attacks on Israel. Following in Gaza and S.Lebanon footsteps, Israeli withdrawal led to terror attacks. Hope same pattern will not be repeated if Israel concedes any S & J territory
2. Israel should never have given up the Sinai
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (05.03.13)
everyone would have been much better off had israel retained the sinai.

SHALOM CIPORA MY HAMOODALI, YOU ARE RIGHT AS ALWAYS WE SHOULD HAVE KEPT SINAI, BUT WE CAN ALWAYS TAKE IT BACK IF THINGS DETERIATE THERE. DANNY P.S. LOVE YOU AND ALL YOUR FAMILY.

We are in a way responsible for the mess in the region. Had we held onto the Sinai, we would have cleaned up the place of terrorists, drug smugglers and women trafficking. With the right education about the region's real history and real owners ( Jews), these Arabs and bedouins would have been sophisticated and moral human beings instead of what they are today. Besides we would have had massive lands for military depots, industrial centers and built-up ports on Mediteranean which would have attracted business and generate activity.

as i just posted to danny, the problem has been that we have so often yielded to american bullying. the americans have always thought that they could appease the arabs by bullying israel. otherwise, i agree with your post. shalom, cipora

one day israel will learn to say no to the americans, hopefully soon. thank you for your post. best regards.
9. American pressure
Larry ,   Northridge, usa   (05.03.13)
As an interested American observer, I've wondered for years why Bibi caves in to foreign( both American and european) pressure.The U.S. Will never do anything more than chide Israel. It cant abandon it or stop its support. The e..u., that collection of weak willed, selfish, immoral prostitutes, will always act in its own self interests, never from a position of morality. In other words, they will abandon Israel when it suits their interests, regardless of the rightness of that abandonment. North Korea, and iran ignore American pressure, with little consequence. Bibi should learn from their success.

israel has depended on the us for the veto in the security council and for weapons, mostly warplanes. soon israel might be less dependent given her ability to develop indigenous uav's. there will come a time when israel's position will free her from the necessity to have a veto. such a position will be achieved when the arabs lose their influence.

Larry ,   Northridge, usa   (05.03.13)
Why attatch such importance to the .U.S. Veto. UN resolutions are worthless powerless pieces of paper, having no more worth than the willingness of the US to enforce it. Let the security council resolve to their hearts content and ignore it. By the way, supplying Israel with US planes is done in great part to help the US defence industry. Believe it or not, Russia will sell planes to anyone who'll pay. Russian air frames with Israeli avionics would be superior to any potential adversaries. Israel already has all the f15s and 16s as it needs, and the next US jet, the f15 wont be operational till god knows when.
12. to Cipora
Lavi ,   TA   (05.03.13)
good to know there are more jews out there who recognize this. The only way to deal with american pressure is long term approach of raising awareness regarding our JUST claim to the land and fictitious identity of "palestinianism". I always put this word in quotation marks.

Alon ,   TA   (05.03.13)
Cuz state of Israel at this moment does not possess the confident Jewish identity to meet its challenges. To get that we jews must make peace with ourselves and each other. Jewishness is not just religion or nationalism. These are just aspects of it. We should reAdopt that identity. Temple mount open for jews.
14. 12 Lavi
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (05.03.13)
yes, we must raise awareness of our rights. however, we must also raise our economic, military and political independence. rights without power are rather meaningless. Shabbat shalom.

I bet I could bribe the camels with a few carrots to go and bite the Egyptians.
16. 11, Larry
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (05.04.13)
you are probably right about the veto. as for the warplanes, israel should design her own. i have advocated for indigenous warplanes for years.
