#4. Bertrand, you can always be relied upon to be both snotty and clearly wrong. Throughout history, long periods of peace follow resounding military victories. Total victory over Nazis brought permanent peace to Europe and Asia. Total victory over "Palestinians" is exactly what Israel needs.

is always called just as Israel is about to vanquish them for once and for all. Remember Sinai,6 day war,Yom Kippur War.Any time it looks that Israel is getting the upper hand...."CEASE FIRE" In first phase of all these wars ,Israel is supposed to "bleed a little " ie lose materiel and soldiers are supposed to be killed. So don't you believe that USA will EVER allow Israel to "vanquish" them. I wont comment on the Washington Admin policy for Israel future

One thing is compromise, another blackmail. While the US DOES NOT pardon anybody who butchers children with bare hands or knives, hypocritically demands or "accepts" that Israel do so. And keeping a suspicious card for years that was dormant till now resorts to the shameful move to "offer" Pollard in exchange of the release of those criminals serving time.ink that will explode in our own faces while Muslims all over the planet lough all the way to the bank in oh with our common stupidity, cowardice and complacency. Chamberlain is alive and toasting with Orwell. The end result will be a real st

We all want Jonathan Pollard released, the fact he is still in jail is a crime but at the price being demanded is a price to high. What are the crimes that these 400 terrorists committed? Already some of the terrorists released under the Shalit deal have returned to terri so will we be releasing killers or terrorists who have committed serious offences? We must not release Marwan Bargouti the man is responsible for murder and whilst he likes the Nelson Mandela image even in prison he has been supporting terror. The so called Prisoners Document he was involved in the drafting of says that although diplomacy is preferable armed resistance ( terror ) is an acceptable option. When Abbas does decide to step down Bargouti will walk the presidential election and he is no moderate, he was Arafats right hand man and just as much a political hardliner as he was. Abbas has been giving ultimatums to Bibi, Kerry and Obama and everybody takes notice, he is playing everybody for fools and succeeding.

You sound like a virulent Papist Anti-Semite ranting anti-Israel homilies as usual. The fact is the Land of Israel belongs to Israel since 4000 years ago. It is the Arab Islamist-Jihadists that are trying to usurp the Land of Israel. There is no justification to exchange Pollard for Islamist-Jihadist murderers. Kerry and Obama are Dhimmis. They care more for Islamist-Jihadists whose thugs attacked America on 9/11 and for America's friend and ally Israel. America is a land of the Free and the Brave and NOT Papist Anti-Semites like you.

If the US goes through with this deal to release a traitor who caused immense damage to the US for money, it will be a disgrace and cause immense loss of credibility to the US. All because Bibi plays Obama like a drum. If we release the traitor, Bibi will do what he already promised to do instead of reneging? Israel, in its present form could not last a year without US financial, military and diplomatic cover. Since when does a client state get to order around its patron? It is time for Bibi to get smacked down hard.

mighty England at the hands of poorly armed and poorly trained American colonists in 1776. Thanks for the country, chump!

That the semi-elected government are lacking moral ability. That includes all those that allow this coalition. Hope to see you at the protest.

Have they bought you Bibi? Have you gone mad?

the so-called negotiations taking place are between israel and the obama regime. abbas has no power whatever on his own. abbas is the pawn being used by obama to extort as many concessions from israel as possible, including the release of hundreds of convicted mass murderers. what the threats by obama are against israel is a subject that has not been revealed or discussed, but surely they are of importance.

obama is blackmailing the sovereign jewish state of israel into releasing hundreds of convicted mass murderers. but then fom what has been reported, obama also releases alien convicts from american prisons in violation of american laws. the israel-arab conflict is not america's businesss. it does not affect american national security. the claim that it does is a fairy tale invented by the obama regime. israel is an american ally, not a vassal state.

Who risk their lives to arrest terrorists in order for the govt to set them free. This is on part with invading Lebanon with the strategy of military gains in order to negotiate an agreement (non armament) which will never be honored. It also encourages further acts of terrorism.
