1. Netanyahu does two things
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (10.15.13)
Proves his inability to respond to changes on the ground and within the international community by retreating into the past and the 'glory days' of the IDF. He then attempts to tie the Palestinians into some sort of nefarious plot with Iran so as to change the terms of his conversation with the Israeli people having lost the argument re a nuclear Iran. There are serious social and economic problems occuring within Israel that need government intervention. I suggest Netanyahu confronts those (if he can) rather than go on about Iran. You made up the coalition government to solve Israel's problems, Netanyahu, I suggest you get on with it, as we were reminded a fortnight ago we do not have a veto on what occurs in Geneva, we will see how the dice fall.
2. Bibi, stop chatting and do what needs to be done!!
ex-frummie ,   Johannesburg S.A.   (10.15.13)
3. I wonder who's going to have their nuke facilities disabled?
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (10.15.13)
Well, at least we'll be able to really see Obama's diplomacy skills in getting that little mess cleaned up.
4. he is obsessive too much
adam adam ,   earth planet   (10.15.13)
do peace with palestinians better than your obsession that will drive you and the people to madness
5. Netanyahu always knows what to say for public consumption
Al   (10.15.13)
however when push comes to shove, he always folds. Witness....Hebron Witness the next Oslo 3 disaster. He is bugged by the lefties who throw Saint Rabin in his face each and every year. Poor little man demands to be loved by the left. Israel always seems to be abandoned by its leaders.
6. Peace is dynamic
Jacob Edelman ,   New York,USA   (10.15.13)
Peace is built by deeds NOT words that obfuscate attempts to create one. Prime Minister Netanyahu has been very adept in finding all the reasons for which peace is not possible. Since when the addition and compilation of negatives lead to positive results? An independent, secure Palestine can not be a threat to Israel. In fact if economic ties are solid, Palestinians as well as Israelis have no reason to jeopardize the peaceful exchange.This can be proved easily.
7. A preemtive strike must come -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (10.15.13)
-sínce Irans last Diplomatic Offensive is not serious, because as Iran puts it - I Quote - Iran: Proposal does not include surprise UN inspections Comment - Why cant Iran allowe Sudden Inspections ? http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4441182,00.html All those talks will therefore not give any solution. It is wery obvious that Iran is only stalling for time, time given by the Usefull Idiots !. Arn.Swedxen.
8. Preemptive strike 5000 km away makes no sense.
Michael ,   California, USA   (10.15.13)
A big difference in it from the Six Days War. Get yourself a measuring tape Bibi, and larger scale maps. You can keep the red marker pen.
9. shut up and do it if yaalon and bennett says go
jerry   (10.15.13)
10. # 1 you got it right all in one.
Eli ,   Tel-Aviv, Israel   (10.15.13)
11. What a bunch of know alls; every one a general
(10.15.13)
12. # 8
Eli ,   Haifa, Israel.   (10.15.13)
Its all bluff, or the PM has lost his sense of balance [or both]
13. To #1
Joe Mevorah ,   Lincoln, USA   (10.15.13)
My goodness, Sarah you actually wrote something that isn't dripping with hate, jingoism, and hostility. How refreshing!
14. Israel absolutely cannot live with a nuclear Iran under
CJK   (10.15.13)
since iran will not give up its nuclear weapons program, someone will have to destroy that program before it's too late.
15. Keep the flames of hatred going.
Rich ,   Toronto, Canada   (10.15.13)
Netanyahu and his appointed government is only about war at the expense of Israelis. They are good at creating enemies for Israel to fight. So no Jew should ever expect to have peace in Israel, because the country was created for war.
16. #12 Eli, He is bluffing his way to a nut house.
Michael ,   California, USA   (10.15.13)
Netanyahu hasn't said anything reasonable about Iran the entire year, but he wants Israelis to believe he is "gever gever." Fortunately, Israelis like you know how to recognize bluffs.
17. #14 CJK is spot on! If it Can be done, it MUST be done!
Son of Cyrus ,   UK   (10.15.13)
9 Jerry is correct too!
18. CJK, Absolutely, the sky is falling, the sky is falling.
Michael ,   California, USA   (10.15.13)
Now, do you know what "absolutely" means? Do you know that in foreign relations nothing is absolute, that nothing is known with absolute certainty? Chicken Little is on her way to deliver the message to you.
