1. negotiations
mike ,   Seattle USA   (08.21.14)
You cannot negotiate with a suicidal homicidal death cult.
2. Actually with a "Bibi" at the wheel a "Buji" seems just it!

3. Herzog claims Netanyahu puts politics over security while he
Moshe   (08.21.14)
puts his father's plaque over Israel's security. What a selfish egoistic man only concerned about his family's honor while Israelis are suffering because of retarded leftists like him. This idiot suggests Israel should negotiate with Abbas - a no man. As if Hamas gives a hoot about Abbas. What a dumb man. No wonder he's in the opposition. He shouldn't be in the government altogether. Had Herzog been PM all of Israel would already be under Hamas' control and the Jews in the sea.
4. Israel at a turnpoint in Middle East Conflict
DANNS ,   Montevideo-R.O.U.   (08.21.14)
Probably,not sure but could be that B.Netanyahu had burned his political credit from an international and local view at least for the moment. Meanwhile a confused Operation was ordered by him and others from the security cabinet to IDF about Gaza and hamas . The charade of negotiations not face to face in El Cairo in Egypt is another whole chapter of flaws ,that labor leader Herzog doesnt analyzes thoroughly in this good interview.The same concept goes for Lieberman Lapid and Bennet performance about this Operation .Mr Herzog has a point in his fresh declarations to Ynet news about this lately developments in Middle East .Good interview from Ynetnews..
5. Herzog's Liberal future for us: James Foley
Fed up w/Placaters ,   Israel   (08.21.14)
Stop feeding the IS-folk! Vanquish them before it's too late and they are beheading us. If BB lacks vision, Herzog is on hallucinogens! The only vision is James Foley! Get it and fight! Hezbullah has declared there are no red lines. That means we can't have any red lines either. It's existential. The pretty veneer is a luxury we no longer can hold onto and survive. Khamas is a cousin of ISIS, which is on our doorstep.
6. His father was a brilliant Intelligence Head but son is dumb
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.21.14)
7. This is the Point - I quote -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (08.21.14)
"Netanyahu has failed because for years he had a policy of 'wait and see'. Comment - He is still in that situation and now, He has lost the Initiative and momentum, and has no solution to the crisis. The reality has overtaken Him, and He is lost in it. Arn.Sweden.
8. Herzog
(08.21.14)
Herzog supported surrendering Golan to Assad, the ethnic cleansing of Gush Katif and Livni's agreement with Hezbollah after Lebanon II. Why should we listen to Herzog who has a perfect record of being wrong on every major issue? More importantly, Herzog was the central figure running "Amutot Barak", the worst case of election corruption in Israeli history. He avoided jail by refusing to cooperate with investigators. Shouldn't he come clean about his role before appearing in public?
9. finally the real herzog reveals himself
zionist forever   (08.21.14)
Herzog has being a good job of keeping a low profile only doing abit of point scoring now and again. Now Herzog has proven that `Labor is no more trustworthy under his leadership than it was under Shelly Yachimovitch. Since its release in 2002 both the left and right have rejected the saudi plan because its a take it or leave it ultimatum of return every inch of land captured in 1967 including Jerusalem and the Golan, close every single settlement from the smallest outpost - Jerusalem and we will make peace with you. Now as they have no new ideas of their own Labor & Meretz both seem to have adopted it despite the fact its an ultimatum.
10. Feel better now?
oh dear me   (08.21.14)
That's good. Now listen to some classical music
11. Total victory for Israel. No more leftist lunacy.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.21.14)
Lunatic leftist retreats, concessions and gestures are the source of almost all Israel's problems. Total victory over "Palestinians" for Israel. No more leftist lunacy from Labor, Meretz etc.
12. the solution
Gershon ,   London   (08.21.14)
1. Reinvade and retake Gaza 2. Total defeat of Hamas 3 no more cease fires 4 bring back all those expelled in 2005 this will bring peace for all
13. it's no wonder people get upset because social media is used
erin   (08.22.14)
face to face communication is much better. And it delivers a better message, I have always enjoyed watching confident basketball players push and move their way to the basketball hoop only to see the look of dismay on thrir face when everything doesn't go as they'd planned.It's proof we don't know what we are doing. So we work hard, be caring and good to each other, and we hope for the best. How can a country who can't care for its poor topple Hamas? They can't do it. The last has to be as strong as the first in at least some way. Doing this is a way to preserve a country, Israel, you know this. You've done it before. The devil likes us to wait and do nothing. It gives him free reign. Think about it. You can do it. You know what to do. Listen to yourselves internally.and you'll get there. amen!
