2. Halevy's take on the world-situation has been appalling in
(09.21.15)
each of his latest statements/articles. Anyhow, seems it pays to be USA's client more than being an "ally"...There are only interests and no "friendships" among nations. US has been known to deny us most crucial mean of survival to the point of endangering our very existence, so screw the official niceties. Thanks god, the American public is still sane & supports Israel. If that ends: only god/China/Putin can help us :-))
3. Israel & Russia have the same interests.
George Nolan ,   Canberra , Australia   (09.21.15)
Keep Assad in power while getting rid of all the islamists in Syria. Iran , Hezbollah, Israel and Russia will make a new alliance and Iran will forget about destroying Israel (for the time being). The U.S will rally this new alliance while Europe can go and screw itself.
4. Putin is a bigger personal friend to Jews/Israel than Obama
Alan ,   SA   (09.21.15)
Obama is not to be trusted in the very least .whether he is a Muslim or Christian or Jeddi..
5. a very dangerous poker game. Israel needs to be v/ careful

6. not much putin can do
zionist forever   (09.22.15)
Short of providing Russian ground troops not sure there is much Putin can do for Assad. He doesn't need more advanced planes or tanks because he is not going up a conventional army so he doesn't need the most modern. What Assad needs are fighters but how many Russian soldiers would Putin be willing to commit to that? Right now I get the impression Putin just wants to protect his Syrian assets like the navel base in Tartus and set up an airbase to allow supplies of weapons to Assad to be flown in.
7. Putin will lead, Obama will follow.

8. I hate to understand...............
Calabi ,   Sydney Aust   (09.25.15)
So far the Russian is more friendly in heart & truth than the politics of the "West" - America. They are creating condition & cornering Moscow to be on a war footing. Knowing nazism and anti semetic nature of ukraine sub-politics..............yet it's used to provoke Putin & bomb Moscow with fear.One can eat woman , children or a sick man but never inject fear into a strong man. The resulted could be miscalculated and back fire with catastrophic! The true enemy of Israel is from the anti semetic elements & islamic/koranic believers. Sure Russia/China support Syria/Iran. So is Turkey directly support.............against Israel. It will be unwise to make Russia the real enemy of Jews if that can be the opposite. God bless Israel
9. HaHa-Lewy -as former "Head of Mos-ade " u should know at least what the international news
Ben-Zion   (09.24.15)
what the international newspapers wrote: The GAZ/chemical weapons were NOT used by Pres.Assad, but by several ISIS-terror-gangs; and most of their command-deptment did came from British and German salafists/jihadists origin or converted and all their propaganda-material, systems and organisation and some linked to US via Rappeurs to catch Youth, unemploied etc ! And notice:  the beginning of that balagan started not by elected Syrian Head of State, but BY  YOUR money-payer Dem. H.Clinton and Co. ! - all region was more or less quite they killed the elected heards and bombed and let all american equitment from embassies there - why a nations starts and makes a war? - when it is finished and bankrupt in xxxlage minus. For the other of ur writing we dont comment here in details; it would fill a book. No wonder that we do have these problems with all our nighbors ! Leave us alone and go back to the States/ there is a plenty of work to do!
