31. everything is negotiable
tiki ,   belgium   (07.28.13)
Naftali Bennet is right with every word he said. Jewish life is traded like horse meat for empty words! Shame on you Bibi Netanyahu and all those who voted 'yeh!
32. I hope this is the end of Likud
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (07.28.13)
We already have several extreme leftist parties. We really don't need another Labor party. I hope that every registered Likud member resigns. I will never vote Likud again.
33. The blood of the victims
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.28.13)
Look at Syria and Lebanon. How many of our men were blown to bits and mercilessly tortured and killed on that cursed land? Their tortured souls are taking their revenge in Syria. The blood of the victims that these murderers have on their hands shall be avenged by the tortured souls they took. Won't take long.
34. I'm throwing away my passport
Dov ,   Usa   (07.28.13)
35. #27. Ivor: Open your eyes and see!
Tom W ,   USA   (07.28.13)
There won't be peace in and with the Muslim words. Can't you see the incessant mayhem that permeates Islam? Do you really think that milliard of Jihadist groups will live in peace with Israel? Yes, one thing appears to be sure: the dissolution of Israel by America and the E.U. It will be possible because the valiant Holocaust generation that founded and fought for Israel are now gone and the hard left Jewry took over. After Israel, they will finish off the U.S. as well with their Cultural Marxist crap. A fair comeuppance.
36. The Worst Disgrace in Modern Jewish History
Aaron ,   Haifa   (07.28.13)
37. We Have Sold Our Soul.
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (07.28.13)
We buckled under pressure. We have forgotten morality. We have forgotten the victims. We have forgotten that in all previous prisoner exchanges, we gained nothing. What a mistake. What has this Government done? What have Mr. Obama and Mr. Kerry done to us? I am ashamed and embarrassed.
38. This will fall on the heads of Obama and Kerry
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.28.13)
This travesty will not go unanswered and unpunished. Expect to see chaos in America very soon. The souls of the victims will come for Obama and Kerry, the ones responsible for this outrage.
39. A despicable decision of pure criminal negligence.
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.28.13)
Every one of the creaps who voted to unleash murderous "Palestinian" terrorists against Israel should be held personally liable for the results of their pure criminal negligence.
40. Pat yourselves on the back Israel...THIS IS THE GOVERNMENT
Zev   (07.28.13)
YOU ELECTED
41. There is no EXCUSE for this!!
Rachel   (07.28.13)
As much as I hated and grieved over the release of the 1,000 terrorists 2 years ago. I could almost understand it, after all there was an Israeli soldier whose life was on the line if the murderers weren't released. But there is no excuse for this. There are no Israeli soldiers or civilians being held for ransom by unrepentant mass murdering terrorists. I bet the Fogel murderers are sitting in their prison cells listening to this news,and gleefully imagining the day they will be released home to a heroes welcome in their terrorist village probably in 20 years or less. The same monsters who cut the throat an infant and laughed about what they did in court. My heart goes out to the victim's families. I have lost any respect I ever had for Netanyahu after this abomination.
42. Between a rock and a hard place -
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (07.28.13)
We are damned if we do - let 104 prisoners free - and damned if we don't. I know it sounds crass - but getting them out of the prisons saves some money. But really, we need new law passed for capital punishment - death to terrorists.
43. political prisoners vs terrorist in murders?
yoc   (07.28.13)
TheseThese men are not political prisoners of any type of government. They are murders terrorist terrorizing world for years and years and lives & whole family have been destroyed destroyed. Israel is the country with a moral compass of the world. now is Israel Israel showing the world there is no morality and sense of importance for life & civilized law. Israel is the experiment for the terrorist and now they achieved success in Israel they will do the same to entire world. this is really just a preview because in Israel this focus on the center point of the world. from now on you'll see first world countries and United Nations European Union ALL negotiating with terrorist and murders and being bullied into the corner just for the sake of saying we are appeasing for the sake of peace. what the Nazis tried to conquer the world and all the other rouge governments now these band of terrorist just accomplished world dominance. congratulations to be so called leaders of the world, absolutely disgraceful.
44. Treason!
Eli ,   Israel   (07.28.13)
It's time for Israelis to lay down their pita and hummus and take to the streets like they do in Egypt. This is treason beyond imagination, if I were a soldier today I would drop my gun and go home.
45. Bizayon!!
Joshua ,   USA   (07.28.13)
Today, my only consolation as an Israeli who was born, raised, and fought for my country, is the fact that I no longer live in Israel. It is a shame to think that this is what my country have came to be - a political whore that have no shame releasing murderers with blood on their hands! And, for what?? So that fuckin Palestinians will agree to "Talk" pseudo peace? Le-an Higanu?
46. any likud, IB, BY member who remains
bernard ross   (07.28.13)
is just a bag of wind. those that do not agree should leave the govt coalition and/or their party.
47. prisoners
spookey ,   birmingham uk   (07.28.13)
so no deal with the arabs, just talks and you are going to let 100 killers on the loose , Isreal you have lost it ,
48. terrorists
michelle ,   Tel Aviv   (07.28.13)
how is this time going to be different from all the other times we have released terrorists for the sake of "peace" talks. How pathetic can one be.
49. #39 Chaim - You have been right all along
Devorah   (07.28.13)
There will be more concessions -- Judea and Shomron, Jerusalem, on and on, if the patriots do not mobilize. That is what must be done. The people must go toe to toe against this evil or lose everything.
50. Israel - The Looser !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (07.28.13)
I Quote- 'There are moments in which difficult decisions must be made,' PM says. Comment - The Right Decision would have been to make no decision and let HASHEM take the decision. The Israeli PM is not on the Road but in the Ditch. All Israeli Giving in to the Worlds demands, is a giving in to Sheol. Israel will lose this time also. Arn.Sweden.
51. bibi, saar, shalom, steinitz are gutless
mohson   (07.28.13)
the dna of bibi is gutless, his service is gutless, his military service was nothing but him being shot, no achievements, he is unable to say no to the united states. Many countries tell the US no but not israel which has been led by a successio of cowards from peres, barak, olmert, livni and bibi. israel as feiglin points out may have no right to the state and should move to the united states who it follows, and give up the land to the arabs so they can choke it. it does not with to exercise soveerignty.
52. I'm neither pro Israel nor
Christopher ,   San Francisco   (07.28.13)
pro Palestinian. actually I just always hear about how Israel doesn't want peace and the Palestinians are being denied a state. But about 2 weeks ago I started following John Kerry and his endeavors to get Israel and the pals to negotiate again. But it seems odd to me that Israel is willing to give in to so many demands and now it's all up to Israel to follow thru with all this or else the beginning of talks fail. But I'm not seeing the Palestinians being made to make any hard decisions for talks to start. And now the Palestinians are contemplating changing their demands. well all I gotta say is that it's pretty clear who the one is willing to sacrifice things to achieve peace, Israel. And after doing some research last night, I found out that Israel has made 2 or 3 offers for peace in the past and it was rejected. But I was always led to believe that Israel is the one denying peace and they are the problem in the middle east. all I gotta say is wow. it seems to me that it is true that many things are biased towards Israel. And why hasn't Israel demanded anything from the Palestinians too to come back to the table? It just seems so strange that the one already with a country is being demanded to do things by the one that is supposedly poor innocent opressed people. Shame on you CNN. if I listened to everything you led me to believe in regards to Israel and the Palestinian conflict, id still be blaming Israel for all the problems going on in the middle east. all I have to say to fair minded, open minded individuals, is do your due diligence. after seeing the facts, it will become quite clear that Israel is probably the only moral fair democracy in the middle east. I also just found out that their are Palestinians in the IsraelI government. that completely blew my mind because my roommate always tells me that Israel is apartheid. I apologize for always spewing what I was led to believe without doing any research.
53. 13 traitors!
YairH   (07.28.13)
54. to #24 n 25
chris benardt ,   tel aviv   (07.28.13)
liar!!! I became an Israeli citizen. im far from Jewish, and I have voting rights. And so do my job Jewish Arab Israeli citizen friends. do you think their would be non Jewish ministers in government if non Jews were not allowed to vote? im sure ahmed tibi and hanin zoabi were voted in by non Jewish Muslims. I'm sure the usual anti Israel posters will believe you, but if you are truly a non Jewish Israeli citizen you know we have every right to vote, and every other right Jewish citizens have. grow up andbe honest, but im sure you aren't even an Israeli citizen!
55. the unvarnished truth
Cipora Julianna Kohn   (07.28.13)
the muslims of the world are waging jihad against the christian west. one of their demands is the elimination of the jewish state of israel. the west, which is led by weak men and charlatans will gladly sacrifice the jewish state in the ignorant belief that the jihadists can be appeased.
56. Obama wants to impose a pax americana
CJK   (07.28.13)
as with every single one of his actions, obama will be shown to be a fool. contrary to what this delusional person believes, history does not have an arc, and if it did, it could not be bent by mere mortals.
57. Well said by Bennett. Israel keeps lowering the bar.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (07.28.13)
There seems to be no limit to compliance by Israel to every outrageous request by its enemies. Such a shame that there is not a brilliant mind in Israel that can out-fox the Pals. No Einsteins out there when you need one. So we'll just watch with disgust at the gloomy faces in the photos and TRY to remember that they were elected by the people.
58. DIE BIBI DIE.... Get a psychiatrist and stop your insanity
ENOUGH!!!!!! ,   Israel   (07.28.13)
Enough Jews have died. How much more blood do you need to taste?
59. Start a march BENNETT. A MARCH OF THE MILLION ISRAELIS WHO
Eliezer ,   Israel   (07.28.13)
WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE THIS SYCOPHANT BACKSTABBING FROM ITS PRIME MINISTER. TWO MILLION... THREE MILLION. YOU are the only leader we have who can organize this. Do it for us. DO IT FOR ISRAEL !!!!!!!!!
60.  # 45 To become a perfect Yored
(07.28.13)
So you say that your only consolation consists in that you have left Israel where you were born, raised and fought for ? To become a perfect Yored you`ll need to stop talking Hebrew altogether. Of course, you can always criticize Israel in English while living comfortably in the US.
