61. #44 Clearly delusional
Paul Wood   (11.04.13)
The computer was invented in the United Kingdom The Cell Phone was invented in the United States Telstar was a British invention proposed by the author Arthur C Clark Meanwhile you can stop using radar, jet engines, tarmac, the Internet, and the vacuum cleaner
62. #29 Another American ignoring the fact
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (11.04.13)
that 75% of everything that Israel produces is exported to the European Union. What you are proposing is the destruction of Israel's economy subjecting 6 million Israelis to poverty so that 500,000 settlers can live the life of riley with their Mercedes cars and swimming pools. Why should the vast majority of Israelis be held hostage by a minority of parasites? Many of whom will fly out if it all goes wrong

66. Israel
henry ,   manila   (11.04.13)
Israel is the epicenter of the world's religious community whose god is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Those who do not accept this truth and therefore challenge it are being cuddled by the forces of evil and will continue to sow violence, hatred and vengeance. It is now becoming clear to many the truth behind Salman Rushdie's controversial book.
67. EU
henry ,   manila   (11.04.13)
It is just natural and expected that a nation without God like the EU should be a natural enemy of nations who love the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It is simply a matter of lies against truths, darkness against light, or evil against good.
68. To #60 regarding my comment#48, It should have read
Andi ,   Israel   (11.04.13)
Israel will only be 9 miles wide WITHOUT the West Bank Hardly surprising that Israel's leaving the West BAnk is a bit of a security issue.
69. #35 - How many more wars can Israel fight
spyguy ,   seattle   (11.04.13)
before it suffers humiliating and complete defeat? If you think Israel can "win" forever, you might want to think about the fact that EVERY military that has ever existed (including the Hebrews) over the last 10,000 years has eventually suffered humiliating defeat. Israel needs to get the best deal it can TODAY before it loses its last war.
70. #44 - Actually all those technologies
spyguy ,   seattle   (11.04.13)
and many more were invented by a wide variety of humans, very few of which were Israelis. All the primary patents for everything you mention are held by US, European and Asian companies.
71. This is Nonsense
Rob ,   US   (11.04.13)
The boycotts are all failing. The world wants and needs all of Israel's medical and hi- tech goodies, so who are they all kidding? Israel is alone anyway. She is constantly attacked and hated, and yet she not only survives, but thrives...so what else is new? So screw them all. Israel should do what she wants and needs. She will be hated and blamed no matter what. It all comes down to hatred of the Jew and the fact that they cannot handle it when Jews are self- determining and thriving in their own land. Screw them all and do what you need to do.
72. # 13 Barney "Strength is the answer"
Stan ,   Israel   (11.04.13)
You must be the reincarnation of the fool who encouraged Bar Kochba to revolt against the Romans 1880 years ago. For those who don't know, the results of that revolt were as follows. 1. Close to one million Jews died. 2. Many Jews were taken to Rome as slaves. 3. The Jews were expelled from Jerusalem for 500 years and the Temple was destroyed forever.
73. # 69. 70 spyguy thank you
Stan ,   Israel   (11.04.13)
It's good to be able to read words of logic now and then
74. To: No. 70
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.04.13)
You wish. Israel holds the patents on MRI technology. Israel holds the patents on no fewer than ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY chemotherapy protocols. Israel holds the patents on cellular phone technology. Israel holds patents on so many IT products, there is nary a single computer sold anywhere in the world that does not require Israeli-owned and patented technology. You really have no idea, do you?
75. To: Rob at No. 71
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.04.13)
Congratulations! You get it. Not very many people understand the ramifications should Israel decide to yank its licensing agreements. Which we can -- and would -- do in a heartbeat.
76. Fear of men
Mirriam ,   Tiberias   (11.04.13)
is not enough reason to do what is wrong. Let us fear only the G-d of Israel.
77. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A.   (11.04.13)
Mind telling me how capitulating to ridiculous demands made by other countries who would have no intention of adhering to such demands themselves furthers Israel's interests? Do you seriously believe that Poland will restore East Prussia to Germany? Do you seriously believe that Croatia will restore Istria to the Italians? Do you seriously believe that the United States will restore the 90 percent of Okinawa that it occupies to Japan? How about Guam, Midway, the Solomons and the Marianas? Do you see the United States relinquishing them any time soon? Of course, I could mention all the lands stolen from native Americans despite all manner of treaties signed by the United States .... Shall I continue? Or are you sufficiently humiliated?
78. Amidror
(11.04.13)
Like all messianic Leftists, Amidror ignores reality. Maybe Israel will be placed under economic sanctions, maybe not, but there are worse things. For instance, it is clear that in the next war Arab units will use Sarin-bearing rockets on Israeli population centers and Libyan/Syrian Manpads against Israeli civilian aircraft. If Israel surrenders Judea and Samaria like Amidror demands, Israel will be defenseless and be eliminated. So before Amidror threatens Israel, he should come up with the solution to real threats.
79. Israel must protect herself
Bill Stein ,   USA   (11.04.13)
If any country threatens Israel with a blockaid economic boycott and starvation, blockaid or destruction that to me is a act of war against Israel and Israel should treat it as sort as a policy. In My Opinion Israel should develop a policy as a country to protect herself from Boycotts and threats. In my opinion Israel as a policy should develop a policy of mutually assured destruction just like other countries. Those countries who are at odds with Israel including so called friends now have no fear of Israel and seek to harm Israel both militarily, economically, and politically. Israel is not a Third World country but a highly technical and militarily advanced country. Israel has the power to develop both a technical a.k.a. cyber warfare, and a military based deterrence as well as a legal deterrence such as lawsuits against organizations that boycott. Israel in my opinion should be prepared to use such a policy in the event that she is threatened with her existence by any country. That threat to existence would include in my opinion threats to blockade, economic starvation, military threats, and diplomatic isolation. The only way in my opinion that Israel will survive and be respected as an independent country is for Israel to start acting as independent country instead of a Third World colonial province who is scared of what other countries think and does what is best for other countries instead of what is best for Israel. Israel also in my opinion must start to consider new potential threats from the south and start building up her Army especially armored forces to meet the threat. Israel must force in my opinion force every country that has diplomatic relations with Israel to move their embassy to Jerusalem. Israel should determine what capital she has not the world.
80. A JEWISH TRAGEDY !
FO ,   Belgium   (11.04.13)
It is a tragedy, a catastrophe, or even worse, name it, that the outgoing national security adviser, because of an inferiority complex, a voluntary ignorance, or any other disastrous reason, refuses to expose and proclaim Israel's AND Jewish rights regarding International Law. "San Remo" decisions and its confirmations by all the 51 members of the League of Nations in 1922, giving the Jewish people the irrevocable right to settle between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, including the Golan Heights, became International Law, and was never rescinded, and can't be rescinded. Having been reaffirmed by Article 80 of the UN Charter, the UNGA cannot violate its own Charter, and anyhow its decisions are never binding, but proposals. The only binding decision, was the UNSC Resolution 242, that became the cornerstone for a peaceful solution in the Middle-East, and was based on the League's resolutions of 1922. (Read articles written by Eugene Rostow, author of said resolution). I can't imagine, even for a moment, that Mr. Amidror is unaware about all this! The tragedy of keeping mute about Jewish and Israeli rights, made both of them being considered by the international community as a bunch of crooks, stealing land and property from the "Palestinian(?) people", and thus being relegated to the bottom, together with Iran and North Korea. This situation has to stop immediately to prevent an irreparable disaster!
81. #14
Harold ,   USA   (11.04.13)
Spreading fear inorder to keep the occupied lands. The Israeli and the Palestinian borders will be impossed if the peace procfess fails.buddy.
82. # 25
Harold ,   USA   (11.04.13)
Sorry it should be 46 years since 1967.
83. Harold USA 81
LION OF JUDAH ,   JUDAH THE LION   (11.04.13)
No one repeat No one including the greatest and the strongest Country of the world which is called AMERICA, cannot and will not be able to force ISRAEL to surrender.
84. #83
Harold ,   USA   (11.04.13)
We will see in January 2014 when AMERICAN presents its plan.
85. #80
On the Balcony   (11.04.13)
You mindlessly parrot partisan lawyers arguments while ignoring what the judges have decided. The settlements are illegal under international law according to the nations of the world who create it and the organizations they have established to interpret and apply international law including the UN SC, ICRC, High Parties to the Geneva Convention, International Court of Justice, etc.
86. Harold 84
LION OF JUDAH ,   JUDAH THE LION   (11.04.13)
I am gambler and never visited any casinos, but with this I am prepared to bet with you. Are you interested for a bet ?
87. # 28 Ed Ford - "win over media"?
Stan ,   Israel   (11.05.13)
Jerusalem Post ? Aruttz Sheva? Yisrael Hayom? Moked Rishon? The facts are that when INTELLIGENT right - wing people get to understand the situation, they become pragmatic!
