1. Thank you Mr. Lieberman...for doing the right thing
Celia ,   Middle Israel   (01.17.14)
2. This becomes children's squabble & fast. Israel should be
tom ,   tel aviv   (01.17.14)
making these moves, instead of reacting only. Seems we are always explaining/excusing/making clear/apologising, whatnot, instead of taking the fight to the enemy, even if the Enemy is the whole, bloody World itself!
3. The right time comes
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (01.17.14)
It's time to break all contacts with EU. Please, do it now. You can repeat the Lieberman's diplomatic offensive in Africa and latin America.
4. The truth is that if Israel belongs to Jews
Zionist leaders ,   the problem   (01.17.14)
because the UN says so, then Jews illegally threw the Arabs out of the land and are living on stolen land. If, however, the leaders in Israel will have the courage to ADMIT that Israel belongs to Jews because our TORAH says so, then the Jews have all the right to the entire land. Momentarily, Israel's secular leaders claim the land of Israel because the UN gave it to them. Thus they legally have no right ousting the Arabs. The only ones who have the right to the land are the religious Jews.
5. Netanyahu held hostage
Sarah B ,   Tel aviv/London   (01.17.14)
Lieberman an illegal settler himself is being forced to build new settlements by the likes of Ya'alon because they deliberately want to scupper the peace talks by forcing the Arabs to walk out. Calling the ambassadors in is a petty and frankly desperate act by a bankrupt government trying to ensure that when the peace talks fail next month they can say to normal decent Israelis it wasn't their fault as the storm of boycotts and sanctions rolls in upon Israel. Why should 6 million be subject to sanctions so 500,000 can live the good life subsidised by our taxes
6. The right time comes
Eric ,   Luxembourg   (01.17.14)
Oh yes, please, please severe all ties with the EU..... PLEASE !
7. #3 Bravely said from the safety of the Czech Republic
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (01.17.14)
You do realise that 75% of everything Israel produces ends up in the European Union don't you. What you are proposing is for 6 million normal decent Israelis to sacrifice their economy for the sake of 500,000 settlers to prevent a peace deal that the majority of Israelis want. Are you sure you are not a member of Hezbollah?
8. Funny comments above.
Jules   (01.17.14)
All that screaming "Please, cut all the ties with the EU !" sounds like a huge discount for crude oil has been promised to the EU by the worst human right offenders: the Arab League. :)
9. Unlike Europe, Israel never robbed lands in 4000 years.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (01.17.14)
10. #7
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (01.17.14)
Some years ago, several hundreds of thousands of Arabs lived in Palestine. They were killed or expeled for simple reason: to make a space for Jewish immigrant. Do you care? So sorry, I prefer world without Israel.
11. #10 The world prefers a world without you
(01.17.14)
12. Israel and EU
henry ,   Philippines   (01.17.14)
Most countries comprising the EU are Christian only in name but in truth are followers of Satanic doctrines. They therefore in every forum, try to negate whatever is in the Bible, be it concerning Israel, be it concerning Jesus and the Apostles. Europeans are trying their best to be politically correct because political correctness is their god. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to them is just a small part of history and NOT WORTH to be concerned about. It is therefore no wonder that they cannot and will NOT even try to understand what Israel is all about let alone the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses. Jesus Christ's and His Apostles' teachings are just plain nonsense and a hindrance to progress in the minds of most Europeans. To the vast majority of Europeans, religion particularly Catholicism is an obstacle in the lives of men and women on earth. Satan is biased against Israel and Christianity and so are the Europeans.
13. That is their stance until the cows come home !
Roland ,   London England   (01.17.14)
14. OK
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (01.17.14)
I agree with Lieberman. He has the right to do it. I even think that he must do it especially towards the British and French arrogance. But, not like Ya'alon. Do it in a private meeting. I hope he will do it or did it.
15. #13 Israel also has a stance until the cows come home!
(01.17.14)
and no disintegrating EU will tell it what todo
16. #10 please learn facts and then post ..
Michael Redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (01.17.14)
If you took the time to learn a few simple historical facts then you'd be embarrassed by your ignorant post. Why do you think the Czech Republic is so pro Israel? The Arabs were not expelled. They left because Arab countries said, "Get out fast because we are going to destroy Israel". And hundreds of thousands of Jews were expelled from Arab lands and received no compensation.
17. Finally, Israel fights back! The penny has dropped!
Michael Redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (01.17.14)
Israelis always believed that their case was so self evident that it didn't need to be explained. But now the penny has dropped!
18. Stop building there
Dave ,   Sao Paulo, Brazil   (01.17.14)
It's not about being one-sided, it's about the absurdity of continuing to unilaterally build on land recognized by the world as belonging to Palestinians while negotiating with the Palestinians the creation of their state in those lands to end this conflict. Seems like Israel is just not taking things seriously, and that's extremely bothering the diplomats. Freeing prisoners does not give Israel a pass to build in the West Bank. In fact I believe freeing prisoners should have been one of the last things to do, after negotiations with Palestinians were almost complete.
19. #16
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (01.17.14)
Simple answer: no Whole existence of Israel is based on lies and myths. And you repeated one of them. See analysis of Benny Morris.
20. # 11 TRUE!!! LOL
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (01.17.14)
21. Why do Europeans love Palestinians?
Sidney ,   USA   (01.17.14)
And why wont they take them in as immigrants? Did they summon the Chinese ambassadors over Tianamin Square massacres? Do they care about the rights of the Tibetans? Do they summon any Middle Eastern ambassador about the expulsion of Christians? The list is almost endless.
22. 3,10,19.
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.17.14)
First class anti-semite.
23. Europe has become an obstacle to peace rather than an...
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (01.17.14)
...instrument to achieve it. Instead of demanding of the Arabs, day in and day out, to cease calling for and acting towards Israel's demise and the "cleansing" of the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people of its Jews; Europe scolds us, the Jews..., as it has been doing for centuries... We say: Never Again!!
24. *** 5. Netanyahu held hostage
(01.17.14)
Are you totally nuts? London is bankrupt, not Jerusalem. Will you ever grow up? I very much doubt it. You are a habitual victim and love it
25. 5.
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.17.14)
Breaking news to you Madam. Normal decent Israelis do not agree with these false peace talks. You do not have the right to speak for us. You do not pay Israeli taxes, you fraud.
26. Yeah, cut ties with Europe
Daniel   (01.17.14)
Israel should cut all ties with this Europe that the (American) talkbackers hate so much. No trade with Europe. We don't buy anything from them, we don't sell anything to them. Our economy is so big it won't hurt us, while Europe is completely dependent on export to Israel. We shouldn't even use European airspace for flights to or from Israel. It's time for us to impose a complete block on Europe, Europe wouldn't last a day without Israel!
27. Jarda, you have no idea what you are talking about.
Tom ,   IL   (01.17.14)
It's a shame you think you do.
28. Lieberman fights back:
jon ,   uk   (01.17.14)
about f...... time
29. He should be demanding they condemn the daily rockets
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NYC   (01.17.14)
Forget the housing and released prisoners, where is the EU's response to rockets being sent at their representatives at Sharon's funeral or the daily shots into Israel?
30. Leiberman proves EU concerns
Dan   (01.17.14)
If the EU states needed any further evidence of the current Israeli government's blindness to its own faults, and of its strategic stupidity, Leiberman has provided it. The whole world rightly opposes the illegitimate settlements policy, so rebuking Israel for pursuing it is reasonable and rebuking those who rebuke Israel is unreasonable. Further, this kind of aggressive insult only further alienates those whose support Israel dee eatery needs. Get rid of this government of fools – they are destroying us.
