1. Trust in the bear
Joe Mevorah ,   Lincoln, U.S.A.   (05.10.13)
There is absolutely no reason for Israel to trust the Russians. I suspect that Iran is behind this calculus of events.
2. Don't ever trust Putin!
Maurice ,   Montrea;   (05.10.13)
3. Put your trust in the Shin Bet Hand
Sam Sweiry ,   Eastbourne - UK   (05.10.13)
No one in Israewl should worry - we have the best security services ihe world and besides - I trust the politicians who will make the right decisions
4. Wise of Russia to avoid the humiliation
Stephen in New York   (05.10.13)
of having their system spoofed and defeated. Like all previous Russian weapons systems supplied to the Arabs in general and Syria in particular.
5. good news.
Albrecht   (05.10.13)
Your enemies stay almost defenceless as usuall.
6. Fine,...
David ,   Montreal,Canada   (05.10.13)
How about arms transfer to the theird party from Iran?
7. To All Commentators
Harold ,   USA   (05.10.13)
This false news is made and spread by only one persons and that is Netanyahu. He just want to confuse every single state so that he will not discuss peace with the Palestinians.
8. to #7
Vicente ,   Chile / Israel   (05.10.13)
Harold, please tell us, with who in the palestinean side Netanyahu should negotiate peace? Abass? he dont have the necessary support to compromise, Hamas? they dont have the interest in negotiating with israel... Israel always wanted peace, the question is who in the other side wanted it?, egypt hate us, but love more the free money that USA give them, jordan the same, the palestinean receive money from all the world for free and all they have to do to keep that going on is to keep hating us...
9. right to live
Jared ,   Stillwater, America   (05.10.13)
why is Israel and its 4 million jews more important than anyone else in the regoin. 300 million Arabs also have the right to defend themselves!
10. #7 Harold USA that gave citizenship to a terrorist:
Dee Bee ,   Israel   (05.10.13)
So, Netanyahu must make "Peace" with the Palestinians who have not recognized the right of Israel to exist, whose leadership is not elected and whose leader does not have the support of his people nor recognize Israel as the home of the Jewish People.. Since you are so concerned about the Palestinians who are mainly Muslims, why don't you ask your President why the USA is killing innocent civilians in Pakistan and Afghanistan and if he really thinks that Afghanistan will be a Utopic Democracy after NATO pulls out leaving I don't know how many US Soldiers killed and maimed? Harold, clean up you own mess and we will clean up ours. I think ours is easier. We both have the enemy in our midst. Here we know who they are but the US is still closing its eyes to the facts of life!
11. Harold read # 8 & 10
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (05.10.13)
They make you look incredibly stupid! Which wasn't hard to do. Do you go out in public everyday?
12. to #9: "right to live"
tom ,   toronto, canada   (05.10.13)
because nobody is denying the 300 million arabs the right to live in their homeland, or threatening to exterminate them. on the other hand, the arabs have never recognized israel's right to exist, deny the jewish people's history and heritage, and include the pledge to commit genocide both in the hamas charter, as as the plo covenant, and in most political speeches and religious sermons regarding the jews and israel. you are either woefully ignorant or willfully stupid to compare the two.
13. Never trust Russia
Mark J. Koch ,   Cherry Hill, NJ USA   (05.10.13)
No one should ever trust Russia. Russia purposely bombed hundreds of villages and towns when they were in a war in Afghanistan and killed hundreds of thousands of Aghans. While involved with a conflict in Chechnya Russian artillery and planes bombed cities, towns, and villages and murdered more than 250,000 men, women, and children. The Russian government routinely murders or imprisons journalists who criticize the thug Putin. For the U.S. Secretary of State to discuss a "peace" deal for Syria with Russia is a disgrace to America and all freedom loving people in the entire world
14. To Tom #12
(05.10.13)
May be Israel does not belong in the middle of 300 million Arabs. You may not know this but 36% of the Israelites living in Israel were not born there. 100% of the Arabs were born in there Arab countries. These are facts
15. 11.
Birdi ,   Israel   (05.11.13)
Lol! good one, thanks for the laugh.
16. #14 Israel belong right where it is!
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (05.11.13)
And it belongs to the Jews! They have history as far back as 1200 b.c.e. and deserve to live in peace! Learn your history even though it probably won't help your stupidity and hate!
17. To #14
Dov ben David ,   Eilat Israel   (05.11.13)
You clearly show you do not recognize Israel as a state, go to the UN and change the world order. At the same time change the existance of the rest of the countries in the world that admitted people into their countries

Birdi ,   Israel   (05.11.13)
Take your ''facts'' oh nameless one & shove off.

Oscar ,   fort worth   (05.11.13)
dear unknown maybe when maybe will be written may be and Israelis will be called Israelites as you say, may be you will grow some thinking neurons
20. Yes/No deal, keep it that way .Surprise is what
Ali ,   Lebanon   (05.11.13)
Israel is afraid the most, especially with determined fighters like Hezbollah when they get thier hands on such weapons.
21. @ 14
Olli ,   Vienna, Austria   (05.11.13)
you have no clue and are only provoking. and that's why you're posting anonymously.
22. To #14
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (05.11.13)
You are right on the mark. And I am compelled to go one or two steps further. The fact is, as set forth in Holy Scripture, that the Hebrew people lost their sovereignty for all time, as demonstrated through the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD, and their final dispersion by the Romans in 135 AD. Scripture explains exactly why this is the case, and why Israelites have no legal sovereignty on any territory in this world.
23. Saudi Arabia
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (05.11.13)
already has the ability to close down Israeli air space with their S-400 missile systems.
24. #12 Israeli have more right in Bavaria then palestine
Sami ,   Lebanon   (05.11.13)
Kiss my ass with your history, heritage, promised Land by God .and hey, we lived here 2000years ago. Palestinian has nothing to do with what happened to Jews in Europe to claim Palestine as compensation.
25. to#14
Levi ,   Karmiel   (05.11.13)
Fact Jews are from Judea "West Bank" Israel Arabs are from Arabia. FACT.
26. The greatest dangers face Jew Arab and Humanity
ZechariaNon   (05.11.13)
A massive nuclear chemical biological or atypical convention war not to mention So called natural disasters and Mega Accidents face humanity a thousand times worse than WW2 Threatning Billions with only a few survivors.UltraSurvivalism is the Dire and Ultimate Preemption .
27. #22 I suggest you reread the Bible
American girl ,   USA   (05.11.13)
Your statements are not scriptural.
28. #5 bad news
ilan ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (05.11.13)
its called military superiority,and it doesn't belong to you. those you so call" defenseless" aren't our targets, they're your human shields, and you are the ones wielding the shields, not us! shoot rockets from your baby's crib, at our babies, and be sure we will take out the launchers, no matter where they are. the cannon fodder you purposely place in the way, is ON YOU! we lose no sleep over it. you know, i almost wish Hezbollah got away with launching a WMD at Israel, the world would finally see! But i said, ALMOST, we don't sacrifice our own for sympathy points.
29. Hey Lebanon, Relax!
Ilan ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (05.11.13)
what are you going to do exterminate us? we are here and we are not going anywhere! the Palestinians are not coming here, there is nothing you can do to change it. when Hezbollah or Hamas provoke us with rocket fire, we have to rush to take out the launchers to save Israeli lives! Now with Iron Dome, you can't touch us! just like in Gaza, where we no longer had to invade, Lebanon can fire rockets til their faces turn blue! Israel is not going anywhere, what happened in Germany is not going to happen to us again. you are too stupid to see that we always hold back and not use full force, and try to not kill civilians when possible.... you know, the ones you place in front of a rocket launcher on purpose as a human shield, to protect those " brave" Hezbollah fighters! Cowards is all they are! some think our government is also made up of cowards for not doing to you, what you would do to us if given a chance! you know what im talking about.... sure, the world would REALLY hate us for a while, but they'd get over it! look how much we love Germany now!
30. S-300 to Syria
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (05.11.13)
I would be surprised that Russia would deliver S-300,… missiles to Syria. But I also know that after the fall of the USSR-imperium they maintained good relationship with some ex-allies and then friendly countries. Will see! But, I trust more the Western (USA, Israeli,…) defense systems than the Russian ones. In one of the talkbacks I read that Saudi Arabia bought already the S-400 system. I thought there wasn't yet a final deal between the two countries?
