There will be no "Palestinian" state west of the Jordan. With the jihadists outside, nobody will ultimately be willing to give them another launching pad just 9 miles from the sea in the high ground that is Judea and Samaria. And we won't be isolated. We will be safe.

The 1936-1939 Arab Revolt was crushed by British and Jewish Forces and the 2014 Challanges if Ron Yishai is near correct crushed by a combined NATO Israeli Massed Army and Airforce with Drones.Committed World Jewry needs to Train in Operational Challanges .

I wish you are right but Bibi is no longer in control of decision making regarding the safety of Israel.US/Kerry is.Say what you will about that criminal Abbas but he knows how to negotiate-he sticks to his preconditions and does not capitulate.He gets Israel to release terrorists and murderers.does not recognise Israel,gets money by simply talking etc.He will get E Jeru. too.If US were totally on Israel's side none of the mentioned would have happened.The only solution with Arabs is not peace but a final war-like in 1967 and afterwards expel ARABS to Jordan.oh, the world will hates us until they realise that I srael is strong and does not give in to terrorism.

Nope...it is you that lives in denial Israel should annex the entire area west of the Jordan river and send all Arabs packing back to Palestine/Jordan. PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!

Specifically, the more-recently-liberated areas of Judea and Samaria. And that won't change.

if idf in poor shape, due to barak and gantz. Yaalon can handle the idf so not to worry. ben Yishai fancies himself as some expert when he reminds me of peri, an arrogant shin bet who is 1000X less capable than yaalon. That bibi put peri in the security cabinet shows what a coward bibi is. and doctors cannot treated bibi 's cowardice out in the open after all these years. That he is like a war hero next to olmert, livni and herzog shows how sick the jewish people continue to be.

The U.S. has funded, trained and transferred weapons to Jabhat al-Nusra which, according to Mr. Ben-Yishai, "... will direct their full fanatic passion and the weapons they have accumulated against us, in a way which will make us long for Hezbollah." should its people take over Syria. In light of this, I am hard-pressed to understand why Israel is allowing herself to be held against the ropes regarding any proposition Obama and Kerry are attempting to force her to accept in terms of an agreement with "palestine." The U.S. is positioning Israel to commit suicide no matter which way she turns. And the U.S. is doing this across the board in terms of "palestine," Syria and Iran. None of this is about diplomacy. It is about the planned destruction of Medinat Israel.

I wish you are right but Bibi is no longer in control of decision making regarding the safety of Israel.US/Kerry is.Say what you will about that criminal Abbas but he knows how to negotiate-he sticks to his preconditions and does not capitulate.He gets Israel to release terrorists and murderers.does not recognise Israel,gets money by simply talking etc.He will get E Jeru. too.If US were totally on Israel's side none of the mentioned would have happened.The only solution with Arabs is not peace but a final war-like in 1967 and afterwards expel ARABS to Jordan.oh, the world will hates us until they realise that I srael is strong and does not give in to terrorism.

Ynet cannot find even one good thing about Israel current government, so editorial's order is "damn the torpedo-- full speed ahead".... Pathetic.

Things happen. Remember how Morsi unravelled? America is turning against Obama. Hopefully Abbas will do his bit too.

Anyone who goes against Israel is doomed to unravel including the U.S. We need to put our faith in God and no power no matter how large or how mighty can ever crush us. It would save the world a lot of grief if they could learn that lesson. Unfortunately for all of us it seems they must learn the hard way.

Norbus, thank you for your reassuring thoughts. Yes, things can change in a heartbeat as we well know. Eaglebeak, I agree, but what happens when the co-conspirators appear to be coming from within Israel? What then?

Remember when the Israelis would just indiscriminately kick ass, kidnap high ranking Syrian officers and fly entire radar stations off of the Sinai peninsula while telling the Americans to shove it? Ah, those were the days!

I don't know the answer Devorah, we have the same problem here. Eventually God will sort them out but it's hard for us to wait and see it happen. The best we can do is pray, have faith, always stand for Israel and never give in. Happy New Year to you and Norbus.

Regarding the Radar station from Green Island, SW of Ras Muhamad...it was the latest Russian technology at the time. Without mentioning any names or going into details, one thing I can tell you..our boys sure knew how to swim (they weren't from 101)

Eaglebeak, that was a lovely response. Thank you, and you have a happy new year, too.
