1. Arab Tribes at War for centuries
Zechariah   (10.28.14)
Arab tribes and Ideological groups have been warring for a Thousand Years Plus .Recently the revolt against Ottoman Turkish Domination in WW1.The Fight for Mecca won by the dados against an warrior called Al Rashid .The Nasserite Hated by the Wahabi .The Baath and Islamic Jihadi -no alchohol For a Start .The Jewish Security Safe Sanctuary is a Problem and excess settlement activity a provocation but it's more the innate male hunter gene the ego gene and the Freuds quote :Everyone needs an Enemy plus Mayhem theory .
2. Livni
Iletzter ,   Tel Aviv   (10.28.14)
It seems that you are an intelligent person. Livni is an idiot who has uttered many idoitic words and has a pholosophy and strategy which is flawed and incorrect. The only thing that changed , was now she said something which is obviously false and incorrect and where in the past, some people as yourself considered her and her startegies as legitimate. I just don't understand why when Kerry the same idiotic statements , everyone jumped on him and attacked him and Livni was not immediately ostracized. Maybe , smart and serious people just don't pay attention to her and try to use asa fig leaf in the international arena. The problem is she takes herself to being serious.
3. Islamic selfmasacre has been going on -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (10.28.14)
- for 1400 years, since the divide of Islam in Sunni and Shia parts 1400 years ago. Arn.Sweden.
4. First:anyone regarding Livni as someone of a "stature"should
(10.28.14)
not divulge that publicly. It's toe-cringing. Second: ISIS has not convinced the world yet, that it is ISLAM, that is engaged in a worldwide massacre. The fact that it begins (rightly so) "at home" makes full sense. Then they will turn to Israel and the rest of the infidels. But being a Livni-groupie (and a follower of that particular school of "thought") Yemini shall arrive at this conclusion, only when he sees a sharp knife being placed on his throat...maybe not even then.
5. If this is true about Livni, I'm now worried about her
Oy vay   (10.28.14)
mental abilities/faculties to recognize reality vs. fiction or plain fantasy and lies. I don't think a serious politician would want to be seen as an idiot...unless she really is one, and that's a problem..
6. You'll never see it in a Super Bowl commercial
Steve   (10.28.14)
How is it that every terrorist group in the ME drives white Toyota Pick up trucks? Does Toyota sponsor them? Perhaps they just offer great fleet deals.
7. I believe that what T. Livni is trying to say is...
Rafi ,   US   (10.28.14)
... IF there were an Israeli-Palestinian settlement, a lot of wind would be taken out of ISIS' sails. That's all. Would such an agreement eliminate ISIS? of course not. But it would reduce an important generating factor for terrorism and its recruits...
8. ISIS
Walid ,   Spain   (10.28.14)
I am surprised how the author attempts to wash IsraelĀ“s hands from the ISIS phenomena. Israel is perhaps not the direct cause for this radical explosion across the Islamic World, but 66 years of occupying and terrorizing the Palestinians have played a major part in radicalizing Arabs throughout the Middle East and North Africa. You cannot just walk away and say you have nothing to do with it. Look around you. Jihadists are mushrooming everywhere and sooner or later they will be knocking at your door. The only long term solution to the turmoil in the Middle East is reaching a just peace with all the Arabs quickly including the creation of a Palestinian state.
9. poor abbas
zionist forever   (10.28.14)
For weeks now he has been saying that ISIS is a product of the Israel / Palestinian conflict and occupation and now here is ISIS themselves they have nothing to do with that. Looks like Abbas is going to have to stop claiming that now if ISIS themselves are denying it.
