1. Blaming praying Jews for Anti-Jewish attacks. Contemptible!
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.18.14)
Israel needs to replace people like Cohen. No other nation would tolerate such a ridiculous self abnegating person as a security head. Blaming praying Jews for Anti-Jewish attacks is beyond contemptible.
2. shin bet
wow   (11.18.14)
no wounder shin bet mishandles the gaza war. they have this idiot runing things. can you imagine this guy? he should be fired NOW.
3. This moron needs to be replaced.
David ,   Hartford USA   (11.18.14)
Go to Ma'an News to see what Abbas is saying. Yoram Cohen is an idiot to say such a thing. All the talking heads in Washington fail to understand (or don't want to) that the Muslim agenda is to destroy Israel piece by piece, no matter how long it takes. That's what Arafat said 30 years ago and that's what Abbas believes today. It's all about regaining the land lost to Israel in 1948, nothing less. According to Islamic belief, once a piece of land has come under control of Islam, it can never be anything else. That's how Islam spreads its tentacles. Just look at the mess in the African nations with their Muslim wars. Israel is not going away and is an affront to dar Al-Islam, the land of Islam. No matter what Abbas spews about a 'two state' solution, his idea is a Palestine from Jordan to the sea and nothing less: The PA map of 'Palestine' proves this- Israel does not exist. Enough talk of Abbas being 'moderate.' He's as bad as Arafat ever was and may easily be worse. The Arabs celebrate as psychopaths murder old men in a synagogue. There can be no peace with these people, there can only be total separation. A taller and stronger wall is needed to keep the zombies out. Just build it. just as Mecca and Medina don't allow non-Muslims, Jerusalem must only be for Jews, Christians, and Druze. The day of Muslim terror must come to an end.
4. SHIN BET IS DEFLECTING ITS INCOMPETENCE
(11.18.14)
increasingly shin bet is failing to uncover terrorist attacks against Israel... and increasingly shin bet is making excuses for its lack of any protective edge to help the people of Israel against these hamas candy parties.
5. Fire this incompetent liar.
Matt C ,   Canada   (11.18.14)
First he was caught in a lie claiming he had warned the IDF about Hamas getting ready for war, now he tries to claim that visiting the Temple Mount is the reason for the violence, ignoring Abbas's lies and incitement and the fact that Jews have had the right to visit since '67. He will say anything to cover his own incompetence. He needs to be fired, now.
6. Shin Bet chief doesn't think Jews have equal rights as Arabs
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.18.14)
This is why he says that Jews praying peacefully on their most sacred site in the world is incitement for Arabs.
7. disgraceful comments
(11.18.14)
one wonders where people like yoram cohen come from.
8. Such opinions dominate in the world.
Michael ,   California, USA   (11.18.14)
Israelis needs to understand they belong among Middle Eastern people first and the association to Jewish people is secondary. The world understands national allegiance while religion is of secondary importance. Mr. Yoram Cohen is telling the truth, his views are correct.
9. If history is any indication
(11.18.14)
Israelis in the next elections will elect the greatest right wing inciters like they elected Ariel Sharon after his incitement on Temple Mount kicked off the second intifada. And the aftermath of the elections will be a bloodbath, like in previous decade.
10. no matter what is the reason
wise ,   eu   (11.18.14)
Arabs doesnt need the reason for killing. why we are here to spaculate what abbas think??there are people, inocent people deying every day!! And you go to justify abbas ,to try to find him good one?? This is sick!! All palestinian with abbas on the head are giulty .dont waste the time to proove it. And for the G-d sake do something! Enough is enough!
11. WTF !!!!!
Howard Jacobs ,   Seattle USA   (11.18.14)
On Nov 5 Abbas advisor Mahmoud Al Habbash clarified on PA TV that Abbas is indeed inciting terrorism..Anyone with half a brain who reads thethe hateful statements that come almost on a daily basis from Abbas can not disagree .Cohen is either an idiot or clueless and its time for him to resign.
12. Abbas is not inciting terror - he's terror itself.
Anna   (11.18.14)
Any minister dealing with this head terrorist should be thrown out of the government.
13. To: Facebook Kamel Abuasabeh
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.18.14)
No, but what I do know, deep in my heart, is that the "palestinians" could have had a state of their own in 1947 but chose to go to war instead. They LOST. They were the aggressors in five additional wars, and lost am additional five times. They are a conquered, vanquished people, who are guilty of crimes against the Jewish people -- vicious, violent acts of terror committed against Jews both in the State of Israel and in the Diaspora. The upshot of the whole matter is that Israel will simply annex Judea and Samaria, and send the rabid "palestinians" -- together with their bloodlust -- to Gaza. Wild beasts belong in a zoo. What else is there to stay? The "palestinians" should have taken the deal in 1947. They did not. But you cannot put toothpaste back into the tube, and the "palestinians" are out of chances. Cry me a river.
14. Shin Bet chief: Abbas is not inciting to terror
Pauline ,   Israel   (11.18.14)
OMG - What planet are you living on .....
15. That's 'Strike Two' against Cohen
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (11.18.14)
Provoking a public fight with the IDF Chief of Staff was Strike One. Speaking contrary to his PM (and the facts) regarding incitement constitutes Strike Two. (Heck, even Abbas' so-called condemnation of today's attacks contained blatant incitement.) One more transgression and he *should* be replaced.
16. Ideal world far
Zechariah   (11.19.14)
In an a ideal world there would be no Tribal Herdalism but it has to be factored in.And in a big way .The refusal of Islam to take Eastern European Jewry en Masse during Nazism and abolish Dhimmi en Masse will lead to catastrophic destuction of Islamic people's and alot of collateral damage .The Perpertrators and their ring deserve elimination but no more provocations .Meanwhile the Jews ought Militirize more for both iron clad Defense and Horrific Deterrance .
17. Temple Mount
Amos Picker ,   Fremont, CA. USA   (11.19.14)
I am not religious and not likely ever will pray either there or at the wall, but will also condemn any thought or policy to deny for prayer any place on earth as a singularly designated as permitted for prayers to one and not the another for its singular religious standing. Prayers are individual emotional expression for peace, for health for family and for eternity of connection to the past and the future of the person and culture, and to deny one to pray in which ever location one wishes is as criminal as killing a child in a school room. That being said, I would close Temple mount to ALL unless ALL are there to pray freely. Riots and violence feed on the fear that international condemnation will open the door for this abbreviation of rights to pray, and Israel is now falling into this placebo in believing that the riots at the mount or in Jerusalem are only triggered by the "desecration" of the Islamic shrines and when and if this prayer zeal subsides and the Jews are again denied this privilege to visit their historical site, the Muslims- Palestinians , will now sit at table sharing a "finjan" of coffee. This is only an excuse and when the Israeli government, to placate international criticism, succumbs to the Islamic rioting and stone throwing pressure, they are feeding this disease.
18. #8, the intellectual midget is again spouting nonsense
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.19.14)
19. replace Shin Beit head
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (11.19.14)
Even idiots like me can read what Ab ass says. It is clear that he encourages unrest; let us hope that Yoram gets a new mindset before Bibi 'be-heads' him.
20. By saying this,
eli ,   Yerushalyim   (11.19.14)
he disqualified himself for the job.
21. MK Moshe Feiglin has a lot to answer for
Ami   (11.19.14)
You can always rely on MK Moshe Feiglin to fan the flames of hatred and stir things up the results of which we are now seeing.
22. Whqat did Abbas said on television ?
Cauvery ,   Antwerp, Belgium   (11.19.14)
So when Abbas appears on television, calling the presence of jews as contamination, calls to protect Al Aqsa by all means, sends letters to dead terrorist's families, if this is not incitement, then what is ? What game is Shin Bet playing ?
23. Is he another victim of Obamas extortion?
Jeff ,   Kiev   (11.19.14)
Althou almost everyone has great respect for Yoram Cohen, one must wonder if he is trying to appease obama with this statement or did the us gov show him certain things they have on him and he had no choice but to make this statement. OBAMA and his ilk will stop at nothing to humiliate jews and Israel, my post is designed to wake people up to a certain nasty ongoing tactic that obama uses. For now guys, keep on thinking what you see and hear is really whats going on.
24. Yoram Cohen is right, 90% of you are wrong
Stan ,   Israel   (11.20.14)
I can now understand how 75 years ago Fascism thrived in Europe, but it;s sad that my people, the Jews have been brought to this by 47 years of occupation. Professor Leibowitz was right.
25. To Milwaukee Broad
Stan ,   Israel   (11.20.14)
If you are in Israel you are right. If you are in occupied territory, I invite you to come join us in Israel.
26. Was Feigling, during his 'visit' of the TMount under drugs? remember,
Dave   (11.20.14)
he is the drug promoter number 1 and doing almost everything to harm Israel and bringing in theats. For the criminal agenda of the drug clans and real aims count two and two. Or see post 21. We are in the Middle East and that's why can't do everything and act like kindergarden-children; we have to ask us in advance, what actions can cause on the other side and how reactions will be. Mister Cohen is right.
