1. of course bibi and yaalon are right

you want peace, you prepare for war is obvious to me. But not to yechaimovtich, gal on, even lapid, livni who contradicts bibi at every occasion and who offers concessions unable to understand for example that hometz sits on top of israel, something that 3 lawyer dumbbells, weinstein, livni and olmert faill to comprehend. That yechaimovitch and peres beg for peace or as peres says, make peace with ones eyes closed shows how ignorant and cowardly they are, they a small, but sizeable portion of israelis, basically like levy , outright cowards, weaklings, stains on israel.
2. For Peace prepare for war

3. Spoken like a true moron.

Peace has not been achieved. The killing by Assad has not been stopped. Thousands more innocent Syrians will die because of this 'breakthrough' deal. Syria has had plenty of time to move its weapons around. Maybe it will identify where 30% of the gas bombs are hidden. Maybe not- we'll never know! But conventional killing will go on. I guess the west doesn't care about that. Putin made a great deal with Assad (wink, wink!) Obama doesn't have a clue how Russia and the Arabs work.
4. This saying is from the Latin
MYRN ERNST ,   vestal, Ny usa   (09.17.13)
The Pope has translated" SE VIS PACEM, PARA BELLUM
5. Si vis pacem, para bellum !!!!

I've been wondering where this quote came from. Am keeping notebook of favorite quotes.
9. War and peace
(09.17.13)
War has never been prevented by a piece of paper, and peace has never existed when an aggressive side sees war as an easier option. As long as Israel has defensible borders there will be peace. As soon as Israeli borders become indefensible, there will be war. This is where Yaalon, together with Netanyahu, has drunk the Leftist Koolaid. The only way to have peace is to retain control of Judea and Samaria. Surrendering Judea and Samaria wil guarantee that there can be no peace. Yaalon cannot pretend he did not know.
10. malignant intentions
sam ,   colorado-denver   (09.17.13)
who seeks peace must prepare for war Each of thinking this way has malignant intentions
11. #10 Not at all
shmulke ,   w coast USA   (09.17.13)
...unless you think your own government has malignant intentions too. Have you ever heard the motto: "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty"?
12. I Respectfully Disagree
Jack_Troy ,   Chicago USA   (09.19.13)
!: This maxim works only when we are stronger than our enemy. 2: When your enemy is stronger than you he can say the same thing. 3. Hence it is not a Universal Truth - by Immanuel Kant's definition of truth, this is therefore, False! - Kant says that Truth should be independent of time and circumstance. --Finally, the Hon. Minister can say this because he has the backing of the USA. He is not taking into account the fact that both parties in the US are sick and tired of War. This is NOT the time when we should be reminding people of how the Neocons misled Pres. George W. into useless wars.
