1. Netanyahu's mistake
(03.06.15)
Diskin is right that Iran increased its nuclear abilities, but blaming Netanyahu is just crazy. When Obama was elected, Netanyahu could have had a Zionist government and worked alone to stop Iran, but instead chose to work with Obama. That choice meant giving failures like Barak and Livni power, and making concessions to Abbas and Obama like the freeze on Jewish building. 6 years later it is clear that Netanyahu's decision to work together with Obama was a mistake. Obama helped Iran develop nukes, Obama prevented Israeli military action, and all the concessions to Obama did not help: he still hates Netanyahu and he supported Hamas' during the last war. The problem is that Diskin supported each and every one of Netanyahu's mistakes.
2. I have my doubts about....
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (03.06.15)
First there were Diskin's and Dagan's attacks about Nethanyahu's so called rethoric on Irans's nuclear issue. Now, after the IAEA said that Iran is continuing to stall parts of an investigation (see Ynet Mideast article 24.02.2015)... Diskin saids now that it's Netanyahu's failure that etc, etc.... see article above. I don't want to write more about it but I start more and more to be convinced that the decision not to make Diskin Director of the Mossad was the correct decision. Also about Dagan's opinion on that matter I have a lot of doubts.
3. Acceleration and Obama
Brod ,   USA   (03.06.15)
Don't blame the PM. Blame Obama for sabotaging Israel's defense, and enabling the Ayatollahists to accelerate the past 6 years. The PM should now put on Begin's hat to defend Israel from the Ayatollahist existential threat. Begin's hat will prevail against any external interferences.
4. Bibi isn't perfect, but Herzog/Livni are Obama sock puppets!
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.06.15)
Bibi is far from perfect. But Labor is infinitely worse. Herzog and Livni are nothing but Obama sock puppets. Israel would be better off randomly selecting a P.M. from the Tel Aviv or Jerusalem phone book than with Herzog and Livni.
5. Netanyahu: (1990) Iran is months away.....

6. Stupid article
arne ,   chicago usa   (03.06.15)
What could Israel have done short of war? Would he have wanted Israel to do light a fire in the whole region?Let him give us his thoughts on what should have and what can be done now.
7. And what exactly does Diskin think *should* have been done?
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (03.06.15)
Correlation and causality. Netanyahu was PM, and Iran's nuclear project advanced. If there's something Netanyahu did or did not do that advanced that project, Diskin needs to say. And if there's something Netanyahu *should* have done, or an approach that should have been pursued, Diskin needs to tell us. Otherwise, his criticism is only self-serving and arrogant.
8. netanyahu's performance
Steve Bondorowsky ,   eustis fl usa   (03.06.15)
Netanyahu did all he could short of attacking Iran. So you're saying he should have?
9. Under Obama Iran advanced nuclear weapons program multifold
CJK   (03.06.15)
diskin reveals just how dishonest he is. it is scary to think that this man was ever close to the corridors of power as an intelligence officer.
10. Yuvol Disken! Don't you have a clue on WHY PM could not
Rivkah   (03.06.15)
attack Iran's nuclear power plants? Are you REALLY that stupid??? BO threatened to shoot down the IAF jets if they flew to Iran to bomb the nuclear facilities!!!!! Get a clue!!!!!
11. IDIOT - ! -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (03.06.15)
- The game is not over yet !. Arn.Sweden.
12. Netanyahu also failed to
Shalom ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.06.15)
stop ISIS from bulldozing Nimrud and stop bush fires in Australia. However, he did replace Yuval Diskin and Meir Daan.
13. Diskin!!! Shama on you!!!
nywoman   (03.07.15)
I don't understand how such a horrible individuals are selected to such important high level positions. Diskin was one the "The Gatekeepers." Has his own agenda and shoots his big fat mouth off. There is no country in the world that would allow a high level intelligence persons to carry on as such. What was the PM to do about Iran or Gaza when Obama stops him in his tracks. The disgusting left is the group that causes all the failures possible in Israel. They are the lackeys of Obama. Diskin it is a pity that Israel gave you such honor. You should know better than that. You are just another leftist political heck and an enemy of Israel.
14. the TRUTH hurts, right wing-nuts don't like it! Bravo Diskin
Rafi ,   US   (03.07.15)
15. A computer virus that infected the Iranian nuclear power
Rivkah   (03.07.15)
plants slowed down the development of nuclear weapons. Wasn't that on PM Netanyahu's watch?
16. Nr 10 - Exactly !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (03.06.15)
17. Bibi, no Bibi?
Avi L.   (03.07.15)
About Iran's nuclear program, all we get are contradictory pieces of information. Once Bibi (that I don't want as next PM) wanted to attack Iranian nuclear facilities, but was stopped by top intelligence and military officers, in another occasion it's the US who threatened to shot down IAF planes en route to Iran. Another time it is pale blue hued hair's fault if Iran's insane leaders accelerate uranium production, spurred by his lack of action and loud talks. Bibi for bad that he could be is not the only factor in the equation, G5 lack of decision, US stubborned will to close a deal with Iran no matter what, even behind other G5 back, sanctions who could push Iran to "end" the process and who knows what more. I agree that Bibi is an ineffectual leader, whose only concern is his personal power as PM. During the last Gaza operation (war?) he lacked the guts to end Hamas's rule squandering the unique window of opportunity offered by international support and Hamas being cut off from its last patron, Iran. Begin would have cut Hamas head in Gaza once for all. Sharon brought Israel into the lebanese swamp ... Maybe Teapacks holds the answer "push the ..."
18. PM didn't give up.Can't say he failed
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (03.07.15)
Success depends on G-D's will.
