1. Don't annex West Bank+there is no bi-national state
Sam ,   Canada   (11.26.14)
Continue to settle the West Bank until there is peace or Jews become majority of both Israel proper and West Bank. Then Jews call the shots in both places.
2. All who disagree with Netanyahu
AC   (11.26.14)
that Israel is a Jewish nation, should be fired. They have no business being a member of the Jewish government.
3. Netanyahu is right.
Jake   (11.26.14)
The Declaration of Independence was never made into law. There needs to be a legal guarantee of the principle of Jewish nationhood in Israeli law. It was guaranteed in the Mandate of Palestine and it must be guaranteed in the State of Israel.
4. Bibihood
Who cares   (11.26.14)
I oppose bibihu's ideas
5. Netanyahu is Right. Israel is a Soverign
Tova ,   Canada   (11.26.14)
Nation, a homeland for Jews. Israel is also a democracy and has people of different faiths living in Israel. However, Israel is the only country in the world that recognize Jews and a people, as a nation. GOD gave Israel as a promise to Abraham. The opposition is really saying they oppose GOD. Without a true Jewish Homeland it would mean that Jews will be easily targeted and another holocuast against Jews will happen again. Netnayahu is ensuring Israel remains true and a soverign country like any other country in the world.
6. Sovereign State of Israel is a Jewish State now & Forever
CJK   (11.26.14)
jews were a nation and a people long before the advent of islam or the roman empire and jews will remain a nation and a people forever. it is outrageous to claim that jewish self determination is contrary to democratic principles or the principles of humanism. jews gave the world the ten commandments, the day of rest, laws of hygiene, protection for women, for slaves, for children, for animals. the torah forms the basis of morals and normative laws of much of western civilization would be very different.
7. If PM elections were today Bibi would win with a landslide.
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.27.14)
Who else would have the courage to say the truth that Israel is Jewish and always was and he opposed a bi-national state?
8. How can we demand...
shmulke ,   w coast usa   (11.27.14)
...that the PA and Hamas recognize Israel as a Jewish state when Israel can't even recognize itself as one?
