1. Arm Judea and Samaria Peaceful Palestinians Welcome
Zechariah   (02.17.15)
Settlements enmasse will go down rather badly and a big operation in Gaza with tens of thousands of Arab civilian casualties and Hundreds if not thousands of Israeli Soldiers killed and Maimed for what Bennett is Bluffing and Grandstanding .
2. Leftist Rubbish
Zechariah   (02.17.15)
The Left Pioneered and Built this Jewish State .The Predominated in the War of Independance and the Six Day War in which Judea and Samaria were capture. .No peace plan that the Leftists will offer the Arabs of Israel will be accepted in Any case .
3. Right about the Palestinians wrong on solution.
bpb k ,   orlando fl usa   (02.17.15)
Firstly, according to the IDF of the 2200 Palestinians killed in their rocket war against Israel the majority were hamas and their supporters who stayed with hamas at their rocket launchers in civilian buildings. Bennett sees clearly what most Israelis see: The Palestinians refuse peace with Israel and will work tirelessly to delegitimize Israel. They want to force the world to impose another Arab state on Israel based on the 1949 Israel-Jordan ceasefire lines destroyed by the Jordanian attack in 1967. However, annexing most of the land is not realistic, Israel needs a way to legally separate the Palestinians from Israel and from our responsibility. There is no apparent solution except to demonstrate to the nations that the Palestinians have refused every land offer since 2000 and reject ever recognizing a Jewish state. If a new US president told the world that there would be no more empty peace negotiations and no more aid to the PA or high-level contacts without serious peace moves by the PA then peace with the PA might be possible. But that leaves hamas in Gaza which makes the whole deal unfeasible. So Bennet is right but we cannot annex the land. Possibly the old linkage to Jordan the first state created by Britain out of British Palestine in 1922 is a better solution - but then that might well destabilize the king. Since everything has great dangers even without thinking about hizbollah and Iran it is easy to see why there is no workable solution yet and this should be Israel's position: There aren't enough Arabs who want peace...yet.
4. he has the qualities of a great leader................
Calibi ,   Sydney Aust   (02.17.15)
Naftali Bennett you will be great leader for God and Israel!!!!! (end)
5. Bennet is 100 % RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (02.17.15)
6. Bravo
olavi ,   espoo, finland   (02.17.15)
Minister Bennet is on right way. Not an inch of land to ISIS teterrorits. Use hard words and strike with utmost effectivity so they fail.
7. Bennett needs to forget PMhood
Dan   (02.17.15)
8. Israel's Emperor Clothes Revealed
Jersey Jew ,   New Jersey, USA   (02.17.15)
The many decades of "Peace Talks", similar to "Iran Talks", always leaked the possible true objective of marking time with the obvious changing "facts on the ground" behaviours. Arrogant, & not sustainable! Am ecstatic that Bennett loudly speaks the truth ... more transparency is welcomed and needed. Israel needs & has earned significant major change. The World including our USA has lost her patience. Loong time Israeli bad behaviours are not in our US, Israeli, Christian or Judaic interests/values. Not smart or sustainable ...
9. finally, the truth!
oded ,   usa   (02.17.15)
yes, bennet finally said it loud and clear- there never was , is,or will never be a palestinian state, got that?!
10. Bennet is dream come true for Arabs
Harri ,   EU   (02.17.15)
If Bennet become PM, international community has no other choice but force South African solution, where every man and woman living between river and sea has one vote and people living abroad are not counted. Arabs would have majority in the next Knesset. Bennet must be either stupid or agent of Iran. Bennet would lead to the end of Sionism and to the end of Israel as a Jewish state.
11. Israelis need to forget about Bennett
Michael ,   Haifa   (02.17.15)
12. Jewish extremist
Al ,   USA   (02.17.15)
The more Jewish extremist gain power in Israel the closer we are to a Palestinian State. The rise of extremist like Bennett is the best thing for the Palestinian cause.
13. #10 No reason to give "palestinians" dual citizenship as
A ,   Belgium   (02.17.15)
most are Jordanians, and Jordan is where they will be encouraged to return to, whether the minority "king" likes it or not. Now THAT would be a dream come true.
14. There's 60,000 Arabs in Area C ( that Bennett wants annexed)
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (02.17.15)
How could 1.7 million Arabs (20% of the population) with another 60,000 out of a Jewish population of 6.2 million endanger Israel demographically? These are just lies & fear tactics by the left who threaten that if we don't cave into Arab demands & return to 1967, we will be boycotted, internationally isolated & unless we give them a state we will be overrun with Arabs. There are more than 2 options of either surrender & withdrawing or creating a bi-national state & we need to start explaining that to the world.
15. The Collaboration with Nazism and the Neonazism
Zechariah   (02.17.15)
If the Arabs had the power millions of Jews in Israel would be mass murdered and Tortured ,They are Very Barbaric if inflamed by Defeat in battle and Loss of land and loss od Dominence . .Also they have a weak International Humanitarian Perspective .They are very Tribal and have Primitive values .True their Modesty Lack of Drunkedness and Promiscuity is Laudable but they have to let the Jews have their one state from the Sea to the River only 26000 square kilometres .
16. To Minister Neftali Bennett
(02.17.15)
Amen and Mazol Tov!!! Trans-Jordan and their heshamite King Is Awaiting his subjects!!!
17. "Israel's first Orthodox Jewish prime minister",
A ,   Belgium   (02.17.15)
Is every Jew who wears a kippa "orthodox"? According to A.rab P.ropaganda "journalists" they are.
18. common sense
mike ,   Seattle   (02.17.15)
when someone tells you they want to kill you, you don't hand them a gun and turn your back. Finally some common sense from Mr. Bennett.
19. # 10 Peruse the article
Moshe ,   Israel   (02.17.15)
Bennett is talking about annexing only area C, not the whole West Bank. And this is a good idea, despite international certain hostile reaction. The Arabs, especially the Palestinians, will not put up with such solution, even if the Pals are granted statehood on areas A and B, because they strive for a state instead of Israel, rather beside it.
20. Bennett needs to forget about apartheid
(02.17.15)
21. Bennett: Palestinians need to forget...
GeorgyOrwell   (02.18.15)
The Nazi's told the Jews to lower their expectations also.
22. Bennett is right
Brod ,   USA   (02.18.15)
Bennett is absolutely right. Why should Israel give away its GOD-given and restored Land of Israel-Israel's Liberated Historic and Biblical Homeland? Israel should say NO to the world of Anti-Semitism and Islamist-Jihadism.
