Our ignorant leadership has apparently never heard of Gandhi, who successfully fought British Colonialism and Occupation of India

the government is paralysed by the absolute hatred directed at it from all sides. this will not change as long as obama is president. of course, the israeli electorate is much to blame. they vote for small incompetent parties, depriving the major parties of a lager mandate.

6 Day war, Entebbe rescues , Irak bombing of nuclear site, the revenges for Munich etc.etc.etc. Those were the days when the Bold & Chutzpah Israel was loved, feared & admired. These are the days when the giving & pleasing Israel of is hated, bullied & ignored! Conclusion? Better be hated & feared than hated & ignored.

israel has conducted sabotage in enemy countries. these actions cannot be aknowledged publicly although leaks of some are known.

Because of 48 years of occupation Israel is now preparing to fight for its life. The government has now approved one hundred million Shekels to fight BDS. Bibi does not want to give the Occupied West Bank back to the Palestinians, so he is trying to annoy the rest of the world as little as possible.

#5 Stan. Times have changed. The idiot left, of which you are a charter member, no longer rules Israel. Israel "occupies" only her own land. Land which has been ours for more than 4,000 years. There are now about 700,000 Jews living in Judea and Samaria so the term "occupation" is laughable in every respect.

1.lack of decisiveness to eliminate at the sources the threat, Israel didn't finish the job at end of any confrontation 2. different circumstances same error of political correctness Mr. Yoaz missing the point in cause and effect analysis, which Israel done very grave mistakes, and the the effect of these mistakes are visible know.

I do enjoy the naïveté of your comments. Let's take just one: "Land which has been ours for more than 4,000 years." No. At the very most, some Jews have laid claim to the land for the last 150 years. For the majority of Jews, for the last 2000 years or so, have led their lives - not always satisfactorily - as inhabitants of a number of "lands". I accept that you are an unreconstructed traditional Zionist and that you hold to a fundamentalist national ideology. That is your right to do so. But don't expect all Jewish people to agree with you. If they did then half of them would not continue to live outside Israel.

If you follow Chaim's talkbacks consistently, you will discover they are based primarily on ignorance and are not worthy of a response

#8 Bertram. Countless archaeological findings prove the Jewish claim to Israel is more than 4,000 years old. Jews have been living in Israel continuously, though in far smaller numbers than today, throughout the centuries. The rest of your post has absolutely nothing to do with the issue.

#9 Michael. So far, you have yet to post a single logical discussion of the issues. You offer nothing but insults against those who post fact based material.

BIBI IS NOT GOLD MIER HE WILL DO WHAT HE HAS TO TO PROTECT HIS PEOPLE I HAVE LEARNED NOT TO READ ALL THE LIES IN THE NEWSPAPER AND OTHER MEDIAS ISRAELS NEWEST INVENTION THE MIND READING MACHINE ONLY AVAILABLE TO THE ISRAEL GOVERNMENT

CHAIM DO NOT WORRY THEIR IS SOMEONE WATCHING ISRAEL ALL THE TIME DO YOU THINK GOD WOULD ALLOW THE SAME THING TO HAPPEN TO THE JEWS I THINK NOT AND I KNOW THAT HE WILL EVER LET THAT HAPPEN TO US AGAIN THERE IS AN ISRAEL NOW AND A BANK OF ISRAEL WITH ITS OWN RESERVE
