his war, then he has failed is just naive. Bibi asked for tougher stance & he advised repeatedly that we should wait longer and not just rush to make a deal since the Iranians came forward themselves. He wanted US to curb the mullahs more, but that did not happen. He wanted US to push Iranians back to a corner where they had to give more. He made the war aware of another shoa. Yes, he did it Bibi style, but he did it for his country and people. There could be a Sunni/Shia holocaust first.

Obama always planned to hand Iran's Mullahs total victory. Bibi had nothing to do with the disastrous "negotiations". Barnea writes rubbish; like usual. With the fake negotiations over; now Israel (and likely some of her Arab neighbors) need to do what has to be done to Iran its nukes.

That if Iran acquires nuclear power or weapons, the G-d of Israel too has His destructive weapons to use.

... when the Eisenhower/Dulles Admin teamed up with the Soviets in 1956 to force Israel's withdrawal from Sinai and the Straits of Tiran. Then, as now, Israel was strategically isolated - particularly from its most promising ally, the US. The Admin & State Dept had clearly thrown its lot in with the Arab states. But within a year, the pro-Western Iraqi govt was overthrown, there were threats to Jordan - and US Marines had to be landed in Lebanon. Trying to accommodate Nasser and much of the rest of the Arab World was clearly not paying off for the US. By the time of the 1967 Six Day War, the US was beginning to see the light - and within years arms were flowing to Israel. By 1970 Black September crisis, Israel was seen as a far more reliable ally. Now we have reached a new low point. Netanyahu's antics with settlements, etc, have not helped matters... but the current embrace of Iran represents a strategic change in US policy that might have occurred no matter who was Israeli PM. For now, Israel needs to remain strong, united, keep its powder dry - and not NEEDLESSLY alienate large sections of the US public which is Bibi's forte.... The pro-Iran shift will play itself out - and ultimately prove to be misguided and, at best, problematic.. Israel needs to be ready to pick up the pieces when this occurs. Meanwhile, the latest developments regarding Iran are certainly bad news for Israel.

emperor obama had decided from the day he became president that he would give the shia terror regime nuclear weapons and a hegemony over the entire middle east. there was nothing that netanyahu or anyone else could have done. obama continuously violates the us constitution. he unleashes the irs on political opponents. obama rules through blackmail, threats and intimidation. old arab allies of the us could not influence obama either. obama is a pathological liar who had promised to dismantle iran's nuclear weapons program, and threatened military action against iran. he just gave iran nuclear weapons and over a hundred billion dollars to buy conventional weapons. this was his own decision, contrary to his military and intelligence advisors.

united and connect to G-d through keeping His Tora laws. In Israel, to believe in miracles,is realistic An American General having analysed all the interesting wars except the Israeli ones.He was asked why. -Because we can't expect miracles,was his answer.

If peace results well and good .The Jews don't need war. But the world has alot of dangerous Pschos and PschoCults and Israel has to plan daily forthe good and bad scenarious . I believe more protection from a Thermonuclear attack is necessary for many more people than the High Echellons.

you can bet on this israeli intelligence is far superior to that of the usa and the rest of the world LETS SEE HOW THEY GET THEMSELVES OUT OF THIS MESS GOD KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF ALL MEN AND NATIONS SWITZERLAND IS A NEATURAL COUNTRY WHEN WAR STARTS ISRAEL HAS TO BECOME NEATURAL AND COEXIST OILIS THE NAME OF THE GAME LETS LET THE USA AND RUSSIA FIGHT OVER IT AND NOT GET ISRAEL ENVOLVED IN THEIR FIGHT

Bibi does no get that he is harming Israel every time he opens his mouth. If he throws in with Adelman and Trump he will destroy Israel's support among the majority of Jewish Americans. Barnea has that right.

real life. This you should know Ora. Imaginary Friend is taking a long nap (by our standards) and we should be taking care of ourselves by means of the physical world we after all, live in. "Spirituality" should remain in the domain of Arts/literature and is best left to the professional con-artists residing in places like Vatican and our own Rabbinate. Thank you for reading.

Of course we should help ourselves first. But having G-D on our side will deter Arabs, who are believers, to start with us. Today they feel confident because Jews are disconnected from G-D. Moreover spirituality doesn't belong in a museum.It is well known that nothing meaningful was ever performed without the soul.The soul is the most important part of a human being.If not your soul you would vegetate . Reading you was a pleasure.

Thanks for bring some sanity to this discussion Mr. Barnea! Netanyahu has handled this situation very badly and continues to do so with the same hysterical reactions. As an Israeli the Iranian deal frightens me but I am equally frightened by a PM who is locked into a paranoic view of our future. Now he will enter into yet another "battle" within the Congress, further alienating even more Democrats and even Republicans. I never thought I would think back with longing on the period of Ehud Barak's term as PM. Mr. N. is losing it and this is the most frightening aspect of all. It's easy to make comments from the safety of the USA but there are some of us who actually live in Israel and it's our future which is on the line!

different "god" on your side, wouldn't you? Just like "pornography is a question of geography" so is "faith". I cannot fathom why people of substantial intelligence choose to willfully disobey logic and instead pursue false sense of security by means of Celestial Daddy, and a particularly mean spirited one to boot. Your (our) faith gives you exactly ZERO answers as to: "Why are we here?" Observing some embarrassing "mitzvot" cannot be the answer and you surely must suspect that. The obvious smoke&mirrors of faith are too translucent to obscure the fact that they are just that... Of course they help keeping tradition, but for the millions that perished in Holocaust or Inquisition or pogroms it means a zilch that in 2015 we have a vibrant Israel. Let's make sure we're here in another 100 years, then we shall see....

the deal.That depends on G-D's will.There is only ONE G-D who created the world. We are here to contribute to make of His world a better world,each with his specific attributes.For example you have great writing skills able to express your vibrant imagination.Try to find out how you can exploit that to render Iran and it's nukes harmless,at least in Virtual reality.Face Book might pay you billions for that.Good Luck

is bring another holocaust to Israel. Netanyahu knows the realities to come for the future. The writer of the article should review his opinion. War is coming to Israel that is certain. Israel will not have any allies not even the United States. UN politics has always been against Israel with the exception of May 1948. From that day forward Israel has to defend herself. Netanyahu is correct. The writer of this article should read the Torah. It talks about the fall of Israel in these days and the Messiah will lift Israel again from her enemies.
