1. Herzog wants us to make suicide
Jew1 ,   Ashdod   (09.06.15)
In elections, I wanted that someone else than BB should come in to power as only one type of view is not progressive for any country. But now, after listening to Herzog, I thank god that this didn't happen. I will never make this mistake again to come under lefties influence.
2. syrians
rolf ,   holland   (09.06.15)
herzog's call is human but unrealistic. let the arab states care for their brethren. the influx of syrians would heavily disturb the demographic balance in israel. for sure the syrians do not even want to go to the zionist entity. mr herzog: be real!!
3. I am a fool and a coward. I like to talk ridiculous bs
Boogie Herzog ,   IL   (09.06.15)
4. the problem can only be tackled at root
ky   (09.06.15)
Obama is the root cause. Weak leadership leads to anarchy in the world
5. taking syrian refugees
joey low ,   new york, us   (09.06.15)
why doesnt hertzog and others worrying about the syrian refugees treat the african refugees and asylum seekers better in israel. dont be hypocrits. start with the african refugees you are sending to holot and detention centers and forcing back to african countires where war is raging. what about worrying about the southern tel aviv israelis whose lives are impacted by the lack of a government policy towards the refugees? start with that before worrying about what it means to be a jew. because helping the african refugees is what it means to help those who are strangers among us, which we are commanded to do in the bible.
6. herog, why not take in 6 million palestinianrefugees
jerry   (09.06.15)
buji, you are so sensitive to refugees, whynot take in all the nakab palestijnians. Who cares if israel is destroyed empathatically. Rarely have I encountered such an out of place incompetent. Herzog is one that the arabs would love to have as Israeli pm along with livni.They will then get hamastan on the west bank, jeruslamstan on the eastern half of jerusalem. HOw did an esteemeed general herzog produce such an infantile moron??
7. Refugees
Steve Gure ,   Coconut Creek USA   (09.06.15)
There are 22 Arab countries and very few of them accept refugees and when they do they are tightly controled. They know with whom they must deal. The Europeans are learning and Israel is not stupid.
8. Sweet Herpotz wants to destroy Israel.Period.
ab   (09.06.15)
9. Plain imbecile!
Keren ,   Israel   (09.06.15)
This is another proof, if any was needed, that Herzog is a plain imbecile! How lucky we are that he was not elected.
10. Accepting Refugees
avrom miller ,   Brooklyn, USA   (09.06.15)
To: The Honorable MK Opposition Leader Herzog: Have you forgotten that every time there is a human disaster anywhere in the world (Haiti, Mexico, Philippines, Iran, etc.) Israel provides field hospitals & human relief supplies, etc. Did you also notice none of the Gulf States have offered any form of relief whatsoever, even though their resources are virtually unlimited.
11. Bingo ! obama is the problem..
BUILD BABY BUILD!!   (09.06.15)
12. Herzog is living in La La Land
rozie   (09.06.15)
Herzog is such fool. Israel needs more Muslims to destroy it? Abbas is laughing all the way at the stupid Jews. Where are the mega rich Arab countries. They could buy land and build houses. Obama and Russia helped this situation. Assad stayed in power and ISIS, Obama's Junior Varsity team, is laughing all the way to power and the bank.
13. Hertzog is living on the clouds
Evie   (09.06.15)
He is a big FOOL. He compares the Muslims to the boat that Begin saved the boat people. They were not enemies of the Jewish people. These Muslims have a plan and ISIS has a plan to spread them all of the world so that the world could become MUSLIM. It is the ISIS attack against the west. They are using it as a 'psychological weapon' to flood the West with Muslims and create a sea of confusion. Thank you OBAMA.
14. ISIS plan is working
evei   (09.06.15)
The Islamic State published a document entitled, “Libya: The Strategic Gateway for the Islamic State.” Gateway into Europe, that is: the document exhorted Muslims to go to Libya and cross from there as refugees into Europe. This document tells would-be jihadis that weapons from Gaddafi’s arsenal are plentiful and easy to obtain in Libya – and that the country “has a long coast and looks upon the southern Crusader states, which can be reached with ease by even a rudimentary boat.”
15. Absolutely not!
Israel Watchdog ,   Akko Israel   (09.06.15)
It is very sad to see what these people are having to endure. However, Herzog does not understand that there is a big difference between Holocaust Jews that just want to live in peace. And Muslims, some of which are terrorists wanting to sneak in, and second generation refugees that will be dissatisfied with the status quo and will get indoctrinated into a jihadist mentality. Get some forward thinking Herzog.
16. Herzog and Labor are deranged. NEVER vote for them!
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.06.15)
Did you vote for Labor recently? If you did so, and love Israel, I urge you to NEVER vote Labor again. Labor is a truly sick party, which obviously craves Israel's destruction. Nothing else can explain its lunatic desire to flood Judea and Samaria with hostile Arabs. Or all its deranged policies.
17. No one offered any help when the Jews were stateles refugees
K ,   US   (09.06.15)
And the Syrians are people with a state, they are not interested in fighting for it, and the Syrians were the enemies of the Israelis for the last 70 years so I am not concerned with them, I am only concerned with the Israelis and the Jews who are not a coawrd, the rest of the earth can go up in flames for all I care!
18. herzog know nothing of judaism, jewish philosphy. only disto
ralph   (09.06.15)
distorted leftist nonsense. i am happy to hear him. another nail into the leftist coffin. we must destroy the current leftist/socialist politicians and parties. they are dangerous to our existence.
19. hows that arab spring working i say ironic
bruce ,   north israel   (09.06.15)
Someone should put those kids out of OUR misery!
20. Herzog has forgotten that those "refugees" are enemies
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.06.15)
21. Herzog is Erev Rav
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (09.06.15)
Go tell your Rothschild handlers that you have failed once again.
22. Islam Fail
JVC ,   LA, USA   (09.06.15)
Look at the Islamic societies dumping their wretched and dispossessed into the stability of the Christian west. To my knowledge every Islamic state minus Malaysia is in a technical or actual state of war with itself or its neighbor. EVERY ONE OF THEM. Islamic societies are a failure. It makes horror and misery out of the human condition. And now hundreds of thousands of its adherents are poised to penetrate the west. How long will the EU be able to absorb this and stay free, democratic and and affluent? My guess would be until today's refugees' offspring, born in the west, are old enough to vote.
23. pm rejects call
netanya-- ,   Kenya   (09.06.15)
seriously"as you have done so shall it be to you Obadiah 1:8-16
24. Netanyahu is a responsible leader-
Shalom Freedman ,   Jerusalem Israel   (09.06.15)
Prime Minister Netanyahu is protecting the Jewish and democratic character of the state. Allowing tens of thousands of anti-Israel Muslims into the country is not a formula for protecting the security of Israel. Most of these 'refugees' have alternatives in Turkey Jordan Lebanon.
25. Herzog wants to destroy Israel so that
People like Herzog ,   destroy Israel   (09.06.15)
he can have a good excuse to take his family out of Israel. Shame! Shame! Never vote for Herzog! Never! Beware of him!
26. Thank God the Israelis had some sense
Dave ,   USA   (09.06.15)
to re-elect Bibi! Can you just imagine the damage that horror by the name of Herzog would do to Jews and Israel?
27. Never give him a chance. He is another
Beware of Herzog ,   He is dangerous   (09.06.15)
Beilin! They pretend to be patriotic but in reality they are enemies!
28. so? if Syria is bordered by Turkey..
DJG   (09.06.15)
Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan, and considering the so many nations with borders along the mediterranean like Spain, France, Monaco, Italy, Tunisia, Lybia, Turkey, Malta, Egypt, Lebanon, Greece, Marroco... and if syrians are french & arabic speakers...why they want to go to Germany if they dont speak the language? why the european media reported it when the recugees were in trains inside europe and not when they arrived to the european ports by sea?
29. Religious viewpoint
imra org il ,   Israel   (09.07.15)
They view Israel as waqf – a territory that is exclusively theirs by right as they are Moslems. By the same token, on a religious basis, these Moslems do not consider the Jewish State of Israel now functioning in the territory of the waqf as a valid entity. This fundamental attitude is held by Moslems from Syria just as it is held by the African Moslems now living in South Tel Aviv.
