1. Welcome to Israel, Mr. Hollande, the liberal democratic and
NLKatz ,   Israel   (11.17.13)
sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people. And, welcome to Jerusalem/Zion, the capital of the Jewish people for the past more than 3,000 years / ברוך הבא, הנשיא הולנד
2. No 1 - Israel is the nation state of the Israelis
(11.17.13)
as France is the nation state of the French people. Lots of Israelis are non Jews (like me) and this is our country as much as it is yours !
3. No 2
(11.17.13)
Is it now? This country was established for the purpose of being a home for the Jewish home. By definition, this is the home of the Jewish people. We might both have citizenship and we might both love our nation (or do you?), but don't ever forget that this is the national home of the Jewish people.
4. #3
R ,   Israel   (11.17.13)
Why assume that #2 doesn't love the nation? There was nothing in the post to indicate that. "Israel is the nation state of the Israelis" indicates identification with the state.
5. With all due respect, #2, Israel is indeed the liberal...
NL Katz ,   Israel   (11.17.13)
...democratic and sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people since it has been voted, democratically, by its citizens, to be so. Furthermore, Israel has been recognized by international law as the sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people in several acts of international law, e.g. San Remo conference decisions, 1920; League of Nations decision, 1922; UN Charter, article 80, 1945. And, finally, all liberal democratic nation-states have minorities, as does Israel. And, as in Israel, in all such states all citizens are equal before the law. But, only the predominant people sets the character of the state, e.g. national symbols, official language, weekly day of rest, official holidays, etc. Examples to such states are Finland, Greece, Denmark, Portugal, Ireland, Poland, etc.
6. What a sad state of affairs..France????
Ron ,   Essex   (11.17.13)
You know something's not right when Israel has to depend on France for her survival..France can't do squat..In fact, France can't go to any war without the US's backing. And this stupid PR campaign of propping Hollande to taunt Obama is really bad move. Obama is in his second term and has NOTHING to lose. I'd advice you guys to be nice to him rather than antagonize..As they say, don't crap where you eat...If this is the coalition Israel's building against Iran, then forget it. Go home..It over :) France??? Don't make me laugh!!!
7. No 5 Israel is the nation state of Israelis
(11.17.13)
In a democracy sir, minorities that have citizenship are part of the nation. A multi ethnic nation. Israel is like any other nation state. It has a majority and minorities, and we are part of this country wether you like it or not You don't owe more or less. If Israel is a liberal democracy, we owe equally regardless of ethnic origin
8. RE#5 ESSEX I AM SORRY THAT
ADAM ,   USA   (11.17.13)
THE FUTURE OF BRITAN WILL BE MUSLEM DOMINATED . SORRY THAT FRACE HAS THE BALLS TO CONFRONT THE MUSLEM THREAT IN THERE COUNTRY. AS FAR AS OBAMA HE IS A LAME DUCK THE US CONGRESS WILL VETO 90% OF HIS KINDERGARDEN LEVEL ORDERS. WHY BECAUSE OF THE 2014 ELECTIONS FOR CONGRESSIONAL SEATS ITS ALL ABOUT POLITICS BUDDY ISRAEL NEVER HAD A FRIEND IN OBAMA THEY HAD A PRESIDENT WHO WANTED ISRAEL ON ITS KNEES.
9. DEMAND end of evil "peace talks" NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.17.13)
"Peace talks with Palestinians" have already cost tens of thousands of Israelis their lives and well being. They bring Israel rockets and mass terror. Even worse; these evil talks are intended to steal Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria from Israel and turn Israel into a 9 mile wide concentration camp. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! We will NOT allow our children and grand children to grow up in such a concentration camp. That is the exact opposite of what Israel was founded to be. I urge every sane Israel to DEMAND the immediate permanent end of all "peace talks with Palestinians". This tiny land is ours. The genocidal intent of "Palestinians" could not be more clear and obvious. The WW II Allies secured permanent peace in Europe and Asia through total victory. That is also Israel's true path to peace.
10. # 6 Ron Essex Britain.
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (11.17.13)
There would be no Britain had not the USA saved your butts from the Germans. obama's drowning by the weight of his own corruption and lies. It isn't up to you, obama, France, or the Saudi's it's up to those allied with Israel or not. obama is not but, take heart, he may be impeached faster than you can say Eric Holder. BUILDING THE JEWISH NATION TO THE MAX!!!! BABY!!!!
11. CORRECTION FROM ADAM USA
ADAM ,   USA   (11.17.13)
MY LAST POST WAS DIRECTED TO COMMENT # 6
12. #3
Harold ,   USA   (11.17.13)
True Israel is created as home for the Jews but cannot be called a Jewish State because more than twenty percent of Israel are not Jews. Moreover why there still millions of Jews have different nationality and citizenship when Israel is there home country.
13. #6 Ron, Essex boy!
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (11.17.13)
Some mothers do have them! Israel can look after itself son; France has a VETO .You really are an ignoramus Ron boy Obama is a lame duck about to be stuffed for Purim; That's a festival Jews celebrate hanging Haman & co for plotting to destroy the Jews Sorry, being harsh; Chamberlain , lad , was British Middle England, Birmingham.. If it were not for Churchill, half american, you would have been deep in the crap you spew out of your mouth Vive La France
14. 10.There would be no Israel without the US
lydia ,   Brisbane   (11.17.13)
Ironic that Bush won favor amongst the Israelis for his support of the Israel warmongers and their never ending wars and . Obama might be losing friends in Israel for advocating negotiation and peace. instead of war with Iran.but we must remember he was elected to serve as POTUS not Israel. The US taxpayers has a right to demand that their money support American needs and interests ie healthcare etc instead of supporting an illegal bunch of ME ingrates in violation of some 250UN res.
15. #14: Obama is a treator
Frank ,   Canada   (11.18.13)
People like you are the ones creating endless wars by enabling all aggressors to escalate their aggression. And you are also the ones bankrupting taxpayers by forcing costly wars and/or costly surrenders on them because the end of the path of appeasement is always war or surrender and both of them are more than expensive.
16. 14
(11.18.13)
aahahahah! hahahahaha!!!! you really crack me up, you know!!! such bogus fantasies.
17. #14, Australia would speak Japanese without the US
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.18.13)
18. Hollande will lay a wreath at the grave of Theodor Herzl
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (11.18.13)
and also at the grave of Egyptian arch-terrorist Yasser Arafat.
19. Ugh! Don't even start mentioning Obama & healthcare, #14
Cameron ,   USA   (11.18.13)
Bad enough combining the weasel French and ME nukes in a posting without bringing up the Obamacare fiasco. One nightmare at a time if you please.
20. NOTHING IS WORSE THAN DEPENDING ON UK, EU.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (11.18.13)
UK corrupted the Balfour and issued her White Paper - it caused the Holocaust. UK & EU are engaged in serial 2-state demands on tiny Israel - instead of restoring the balfour and creating a coptic 2-state in Egypt. Shame on silent ones.
