1. Once again reminded why I left voted for that dear man
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (02.12.14)
2. Is it just me?
Steve Klein   (02.12.14)
Naftali Bennett and his Habayit Hayehudi seem to be the only ones (at least the ones standing out) fighting forcefully for our Jewish homeland and for Israel's rights.
3. Patriotic honor
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (02.12.14)
Involves standing firm and fighting your corner. It does not involve running away
4. Israelis use 87% of West Bank aquifer, 82% of Gaza aquifer
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.12.14)
Source...Wikipedia "Water supply and sanitation in the Palestinian territories"
5. I don't know about the water
(02.12.14)
but is Gaza blockade a lie?
6. lies of Schulz
Dik ,   Spijkenisse   (02.12.14)
are result of the succesful Palestinian attempts to twist the truth. They are masters in showing they are the underdog even dare to accuse Jews as nazis. Israel stand strong, your God will protect you. Shalom from Holland
7. Petty, childish, foolish. Unbelievable.
Daniel ,   USA   (02.12.14)
8. Bennett just walks and talks.
Harri ,   EU   (02.12.14)
Stop making clowns of yourself. If you think that EU has a wrong picture of the conflict, just send us the right picture. Walking and talking to entertain your own supporters makes EU ministers just more sure that they have the right picture in their hands. If Bennett really thinks that EU is not friend of Israel, Bennett should stop doing business with EU. He is the economy minister, or is he?... walkie talkie in a suit?
9. YOUR HASBARA IS A JOKE !
FO ,   Belgium   (02.12.14)
Tzipi Hotovely said: ..."the problem Israel faces in world opinion is not the settlement enterprise, but its hasbara ability." Remember the famous British journalist, Melanie Phillips on Israeli TV, saying: "YOUR HASBARA IS A JOKE !"
10. Well done Benett !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (02.13.14)
11. The Truth Hurts
Darren Ben John ,   Townsville Australia   (02.12.14)
Doesn't it Bennett. YOU CAN"T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
12. Siege or blockade?
Jon ,   Ottawa   (02.12.14)
Israel does enforce a blockade on Gaza and its validity is recognized by the UN. Without the blockade Iranian arms would flow into Gaza and onto Israeli civilians. The question here is whether a blockade is a siege? This is open to discussion, but I think Bennett is making too much of semantics.
13. #2 Bennett
Pinny   (02.12.14)
fighting for our Jewish homeland with one hand and with the other hand out to destroy Judaism and Torah. In other words, he wants the homeland for future Jewish goyim.
14. Obama returns US to 1776 borders after November elections.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.12.14)
15. # 5

Why don't you ask Egypt?
16. #4 -- Right, Wikipedia NEVER lies.

17. to Shelly
michael   (02.12.14)
Yet when Tibi shouted at Prime Minister Harper that was okay . So why when tibi does it it is okay? Yet when Bennett does the same thing its wrong?
18. 11
yonatan Allon ,   adelaide/Israel   (02.13.14)
You don't exist in Townsville Arab.Stop spreading lies.
19. if you look at maps you shall see that Gaza has a frontier w
abraham ,   greater jerusalem   (02.13.14)
So how come they cannot get all their water andcelectrity from that friendly Moslem egypt
20. when you shall give back Australia to the aborigines
abraham ,   greater jerusalem   (02.13.14)
You stole a whole continent from the original inhabitants and are trying to teach us Shame on you, give those poor people you stole their land, back their water
21. Its a known fact Israel uses more water per person.
Milk D ,   USA/ East Coast   (02.13.14)
And no amount of fake moral outrage or BS crocodile tears can change those FACTS. Also here is a great idea, if what the EU chief said is a lie..you tell us the numbers??...oh no you definitely don't want to confirm that truth..it will only put another nail in the coffin. Here is what is really happening,,as April approaches which is the DEADLINE for the peace agreement the world will witness many more crazy unprofessional outbursts like the one in the Knesset by the various factions trying to stall, wiggle and run away from what will happen.which is a two state solution. Thank God Obama wont let it happen and don't wait for elections because Hillary is next.
22. #4: "Source Wikipedia" Benassi
(02.13.14)
You'd think you are quoting Brittanica!
23. I suggest you check the Indian reservations
abraham ,   greater jerusalem   (02.13.14)
You have stolen the lands of those poor Indians, you are putting them in throes called reservations , and you have the chutzpah to accuse us
24. Bigots
ab5678 ,   USA   (02.13.14)
Bennett and Tibi are both bigots. They both are the opposite face of the same coin called Israel. They don't know anything other than hating the opposite side. You can make someone a minister or MK but you can't teach them manners (that's taught by parents).
25. #4 Benassi lies
Jake   (02.13.14)
All the mountain aquifer drains into Israel. Israel transfers over 1/3 more water than required under international law. No West Bank Water is transferred back across the Green Line. Schulz’s figures of 17 liters per Palestinian for every 70 liters per Israeli would imply that Israelis were each receiving about 4.12 times the water that Palestinians were. The Water Authority’s data showed Israelis having only about 1.21 times as much fresh water available to them and consuming only about 1.44 times as much as West Bank Palestinians – figures that have only decreased since, according to the authority.
26. #11, Bennett was right. Schulz wasn't telling the truth.

27. #13: How is Habayit Hayehudi destroying Judaism and Torah?
Steve   (02.13.14)
28. WATER
Rau   (02.13.14)
Mr Bennett, It seems that you know so much about water allocation in the West Bank. When was your last visit to any of the arab villages there?
29. If Bennett says it is lies....
PEM ,   Israel   (02.13.14)
I challenge him to back up his statements with the official fugures. You can shout "lies" and "slander" all you want, but provide proof first. If the facts are contrary to what Schultz said, publish them. There is no better way to expose a lie than to show the truth. I am willing to bet that Bennett did not know the true facts when he decided to walk out, he just took umbrage to the perceived accusation. And if the figures show Schultz was correct, Bennett and co. will be left with egg on their faces.
30. WHAT HASBARA??????????
Mike Esq. ,   NY / Tel Aviv   (02.13.14)
The Israeli government does NOTHING to explain our history or legal rights to OUR land. Bibi hasn't even had the Levy Report translated into English yet.
