1. Spring cleaning should start in the Ynet Oninion section
Jake   (11.24.14)
a profuse purveyor of inaccurate, biased information against the Israeli government.
2. are we all so stupid?
david ,   israel k-shomne   (11.24.14)
No one wins a holy war.
3. Deal with "Palestinians" are the mortal foes they are
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.24.14)
Virtually everyone in Israel knows "Palestinians" are mortal foes who want to mass murder Jews and steal our sole tiny Homeland. Yet Israel's government persists in treating them as partners and friends. That is what must change. Israel needs to deal with "Palestinians" are the mortal foes they are.
4. Looking at the suicide statistics ,...
split ,   US   (11.24.14)
... countries like Spain (8.2), Italy (7.1), UK (6.9), Israel (6.3), Argentina (6.4), Brazil (4.1), Thailand (4), Iran (2), Kuwait, (2) Egypt and Jordan (0) have a very low suicide rate. It appears as if the suicide rate is low or almost non existent in Muslim countries. Islam forbids suicide ,... The suicide of driver of the Egged bus company who was found dead inside his bus; suspicious at least ,...
5. Shua Klein the idiot @ FB ,...
split ,   US   (11.24.14)
"Do we incite to kill their children??? " I'm not as sure as you're but if you don't there's no need for it you kill them indiscriminately from the land the sea and air using the latest war toys ,... By the way if you happen to miss it just a week ago your goons shot 10 years old child approaching the barrier on the other side ,...
6. Barnea is absolutely correct: Israel is Chelm now.
Michael ,   California, USA   (11.24.14)
Where I sit and follow what is happening, the news reaching us from Medinat Israel make less and less sense. Shalom Aleichem could have written endless stories, along with Nahum Barnea.
7. The comments here proves the author's point
Daniel   (11.25.14)
The author is right, we really see the most extreme people at Internet sites and lots of racist indictment. Several comments here, or under any article here, daily proves the same point. Racism is racism, no matter if it's said about Jews or Arabs. Fortunately Israel has a large number of people taking a stand against racism, including the author, Lapid and Livni. That's what makes Israel different from the neighbours. But there's no denying there are some racists in Israel as well, as the author says, and they seem to be particularly active commenting articles online all day long.
8. To split #5, in case you happened to miss it....
Jake   (11.25.14)
just the other day the police in the US shot and killed a 12-year child with a replica gun. Pot., kettle, black.
9. To Daniel #7, take the blinkers off
Jake   (11.25.14)
Livni is worse than the those she accuses of racism. Her ongoing incitement against "the settler leaders" is a case in point.
10. Yes, Daniel # 7. Thank you.

11. Barnea´s writing - brilliant and funny about a bleak reality
Scharp ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (11.25.14)
"He solemnly declared a series of laws which he hopes will never be approved." "New Interior Minister Gilad Erdan had yet to understand what just landed on his head, but he will learn". "...Netanyahu confused David Ben-Gurion with Ze'ev Jabotinsky, added Theodor Herzl and his own father to the mixture – the older he gets the less knowledgeable he becomes in history " Maybe Barnea should team up with some new and altneu characters and create a political party? Time to refresh Israel - and truly become a light in the region and to the nations. The reality is bleak and dark - we need change.
12. I wonder if there's a similar 'look at ourselves' article
(11.25.14)
in any arab media outlet. I doubt it.
