There is no other country in the world that would be condemned, as is Israel, for successfully defending itself from rocket attacks. Israel is condemned no matter what it does because it is a Jewish state and for centuries the world has hated Jews. No other real reason.

More like a TSUNAMI, which we Hebrews have been riding for centuries. And have been surviving. And now you wimps want a sit-down and chat over a cup of tea? Ah, yes- appeasement of our sworn killers. Works every time.

Israel's enemies are worried that Israel will become isolated. I hope Israel will not receive the insane council from their enemies like my country has.

In the future Jordan must be punished, Its seems that Israel is kissing their behind none stop. Enough is enough

It doesn't matter, the world using the Palestinian problem to hide their Anti- Semitic genetic tendencies, that runs in their veins for ever. By the way they get some of their legitimation about Israeli so called right wing war mongering from an Israeli called Tzipi Livni

The problem is not the Arabs or Hamas or Abbas. The problem is Netanyahu, Bennnett and the settlers. They have declared to the world that Israel is more interested in grabbing land than having either peace with the Arab world, fairness for Palestinians or international support. The world is finally saying 'OK, you will have none of these, not peace, not support and not land.' As for stupidity, look to those who voted for Netanyahu, Bennet etc.

Netanyahu needs talkbacks like yours to convince himself that his policies are sane

If Israel fails the world will not end. If Israel succeeds the world will not end. Nothing would change in the rest of the region. You and all who believe otherwise are a fool to think so. Jordanians think they will gain an edge against IS but isolating themselves from Israel will not help them.

Of course the powers that presently be in Jordan will agitate, now openly, about happenings on Temple Mount. As is their custom. After all, they deludedly think they once owned the City of David. Until Rabin, Dayan and Sharon demonstrated that they didn't. Ever.

Israel is building relations with Asia, specifically China and India, for a reason. The West's ability to pressure Israel will fade with time as the amount of free trade agreements grows.

the options are and we can be in charge of our own affairs

two state solution is the answer

it is not simple it is like ...i like the horse even if he changes its name to a fly

Tell that to the arabs. The only two-state solution they would agree to is two Muslim states, no Jewish ones. That would give them about 23 in the world.

Every time someone posts about Israel getting cozy with Asia, I laugh because it is obvious the poster has no clue about how Asians view Israel. The simple REALITY is China, India and the rest of Asia only want to strip-mine Israel for intellectual property (Israel's only resource) and after they have bled Israel dry, throw away the husk. Asians have zero cultural affinity for Israel. They do not care one bit about Israel and if there is more profit in destroying Israel they will follow the profit. NONE of the Asian counties will do anything to protect Israel. So the REALITY is once Israel succeeds in making the Europeans angry and maybe loses the US over the settlements, very small, powerless Israel will be all alone, starving. There is no "salvation" for Israel in Asia.

And desolation

To agree to two-states with the compromises the arabs are offering (ie NONE!) would lead to a worse 'desolation'. Israel will not commit suicide just because you and others think they should. No apologies.

"Isolation" is not so scary. Israel accomplishes all her most glorious deeds in "isolation". Who helped Israel win the Six Days War? Who helped Israel with the Entebbe rescue? Who helped Israel destroy Iraqi and Syrian nukes? Answer: Of course, nobody. Who will help Israel win her next war? Answer: Of course, nobody. Israel confronts a simple choice. Temporary "isolation" versus permanent suicide. There is only one sane answer.

Now everyone believed what Nicolas Sarkozy described Netanyahu..

I understand what you are saying and you have a point. However let's give credit where credit is due. When the US delivered arms and ammunition during the Yom Kippur War it was a rushed straight to the front. Dayan said Israel would have been in dire straights if that hadn't happened.
