1. Bibi
Mike ,   UK   (11.12.13)
He is out of touch, he really is. No one really cares what the Iranians get up to. However, Bibi has boxed himself into a corner. The world does nothing and reaches an understanding with Iran, what then is Bibi going to do? Launch a unilateral attack? What is Bibi's plan??
2. anything "good" that emerges will be in spite of Bibi
Rafi ,   US   (11.12.13)
With his chidish cartoon props and constant demagoguery (comparisons to Munich), if anything useful emerges from negoitations with Iran, it will be IN SPITE OF Netanyahu's constant whining... Meanwhile he has further eroded Israel's credibility by continually "sticking it" to the world with his continual release of new settlement buidling over the past six years. Who would even "want" to be seen helping such an insolent govt ? Netanyahu is Israel's own worst diplomatic enemy.
3. What?
ROBERT ,   FARMINGTON,WV   (11.12.13)
"What good is Netanyahu doing in fighting with the whole world and arousing the anger of some of our friends too, " When it comes down to it Israel has no friends simple put.May God forever bless the State Of Israel.
4. bibi means well
geroge   (11.12.13)
He means well if sometimes he cannot do the right thing. 65 years after the holocaust and all the pogrommes, its hard to accept that people like yechaimovitch, gal on, german, peres, peretez, livni, liel who resent and are afraid of israel asserting her rightss, they offer any and every concessions, run and kiss big brother US to please save israel. It belittles the jewish nation. It is 65 years. grow some courage and assert it and stop worrying about exercising soveeignty.
5. He was asleep for a while, but now he's is back!
tiki ,   belgium   (11.12.13)
Like the Jewish LEADER of a Jewish country should be. If Israel has to wait until the Jew hating ''world community " approves on anything she does, she can wait forever. This is the spirit! Tell the world how it is. Israel is strong and is building her country, whether the community of hypocrites likes it is of less significance.
6. Eroding the value of threats
Ali Hussain ,   Kut, Iraq   (11.13.13)
Bibi has certainly eroded Israeli deterrence power by over using threats through too many PR stunts . For the Israelis stopped picking Iranian nuclear experts at the wrong time .Israel is not supportive of the many Iranian minorities who despise the Perisan empire . The Iranians are not strong but their enemies have given them too much credit which made them feel more confident . Ultiamtely the key issue is economic , and the Syrian rebels gave us a golden opportunity : bleed Iran through supporting the rebels and the Christians and Sunnis in Lebanon .Iran will. Blink before the end of 2014 . All the world need is persisitence .
7. Green with envy.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (11.13.13)
#2, Rafi you are just jealous. The Prime Minister is doing a tremendous job for israel and the Jewish people. There is no one who could approach his level of competence. You go deal with Obama and big John Kerry.
8. If I lived in Israel...
RJE ,   Adelaide, Australia   (11.13.13)
I would be selling my real estate whilst I still could. Also, exchanging NIS for Euros and making escape plans. The USA is losing patience with Israel and the end of the Zionist experiment is very near. Embrace the secular democratic One State urgently. Time is running out and I fear for what might happen next.
9. Time will tell. Really.
R ,   Israel   (11.13.13)
Right now Netanyahu, as the vocal representative of the world's favorite scapegoat, is seen as a pain in the neck of the west. If Iran does get a bomb and uses it on Israel and/or any other country, Netanyahu will be proved a prophet, but it will be too late.
10. Bibi's greatness
Warren ,   Sydney Australia   (11.13.13)
Netanyahu is still easily the best leader on the world stage and how 195 countries must wish he belonged to them, he represented them, he gave them the rights Israelis enjoy. Netanyahu is a brilliant politician and leader.
11. I hope Bibi is also a great stage actor as
Israeli 2   (11.13.13)
he is a great orator. Thus far he simply scares me. Many Brits also thought Chamberlain was smart and knew what to do until Churchill proves them wrong.
12. Bibi is all talk, no action
Avraham ,   Netivot   (11.13.13)
Bibi be quiet & just do it, show you have some guts & a backbone.
13. #Ali Hussain, Kut , Iraq
Hamdan Abu Nasser ,   Najaf   (11.13.13)
You are not who you say you are. Bibi has done a great job against the queer crack head in the WH, with malevolent intent towards the Jewish State irrespective of the lip service Obama is going down as a pathetic puppet, whose brain is not on his shoulders but up his ass. You are right about Iran's bluff. Bibi will hit and the regime change that should have resulted from the green revolution but for Obama siding with the Mullahs will yet have its day.
14. to 8
(11.13.13)
i live in israil i know one enemy is enough to rub the state ...it is the force of hate and the time will be here and there also and the force of muscle will be changed
15. good positive support
david ,   maalot   (11.13.13)
nice to see some sense at ynet
16. Nr 8. You err in your Foolishness !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (11.13.13)
The Beginning of the Zionist Reality is near and will within some 5-10 years be completed. The US losing patience with Israeli will rather spell the Beginning of Her Downfall. Stay in Australia where you are safe from fear from what will happen next.
17. #2. Dumb leftists like you do all the damage.
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.14.13)
#2 Rafi. Israel's foes can only dream of damaging Israel as much as Israeli leftists do. Who wanted Oslo? Dumb leftists. Who wanted Disengagement?] Dumb leftists? Who wants to free murderous "Palestinian" terrorists? Dumb leftists? Who wanted to ceded the Golan just 7 months ago? Dumb leftists. Who wants to cede our ancestral heartland and turn Israel into a 9 mile wide concentration camp? Dumb destructive leftists.
18. #17 Is Bibi now a confused dumb leftist?
