1. It is not self deception.....
DSM ,   USA   (10.21.15)
it is exactly how Obama and the State Department feel about Israel and the Muslim jihadists. The are for any country, group or person that is against Israel. The are deceiving few and certainly not themselves.
2. Well put Mr. Yemini. Thank you for speaking my thoughts
DOV ,   USA   (10.21.15)
3. well said
jay   (10.21.15)
since israel cannot win too many arguments with the european and american appeasers, it should act boldly. Clearly new leadership is needed as the curent groups of likud to labour are not up to it. Israelis will run to bennett or feiglin when some big terror incidents happen. Bibi is very similiar to herzog.
4. Agreed, but Get Your Facts Straight
Yoni ,   NYC, USA   (10.21.15)
The author is correct in asserting that Obama, Kerry, the EU & Arabs are nothing but hypocrites. But he is wrong about the Ferguson shooting. The "victim," before charging a policeman, had already robbed a convenience store. Furthermore, he (the 150kg and 1.8m tall victim) charged the policeman head-on & didn't halt when he was told to. So the policeman shot him out of safety concerns. The medical examiner's report concluded that that victim wasn't shot in the back, like Obama and the other "witnesses" had claimed. So there is no valid analogy with the Ferguson shooting here, ok?
5. Well done Mr. Yemini.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (10.21.15)
6. Calling evil good
Tom O'Neal ,   Wilmore U.S.A.   (10.21.15)
Proverbs 24:24, "Whoever says to the guilty,'You are innocent'- peoples will curse him and nations denounce him."
7. Another self - deception
Mat ,   U.K.   (10.21.15)
Very good artical should be sent to all goverments UN and all those who preach to Israel how to handle terrorists they might learn something But they carry on being ostriches and living in denial They know what is right or wrong but they don't want to be out of step with trend against Israel
8. deception
Mark ,   Uk   (10.21.15)
If all true facts will be fed to a computer and ask it how to go about it if it is possible this way it is not biased wonder what will be the answer
9. Pointless exercise in self-pity! As long as our PM does not
(10.21.15)
openly state that the Emperor has no clothes, any utterances by Mr.Yemini & you and me are of no importance. Soon it may be too late even for an Israeli PM to be heard & taken seriously on the so called "International Scene", due to it becoming "International Islamic Scene". Look at Sweden, look at Europe in general and please: watch closely USA!
10. Bravo!!!
Bob ,   Moscow   (10.21.15)
11. OK
Brad ,   USA   (10.21.15)
Pissboy obama gives the go ahead for these bombings, so I guess he's the terrorist now. Right? Right.
12. We are not occupying ISIS lands
carol ,   NYC   (10.20.15)
You have taken others land at gunpoint and have been killing them on THEIR land ever since.
13. self-deception produced by the free world
jon ,   uk   (10.21.15)
Like the Palestinians keep on & on telling lies and media loves printing and showing it as time goes on people believe it when the same lies are repeated people take it to be true Israel should every time when lies are said and spread by whoever Israel should talk to them ask them if they checked that what they print/show is correct and not just to print / show what Israel haters feed them and not print/show one sided story mostly they wont do much about it if Israel will keep at it and shame them it might work sooner or later hard work worth trying it works for the Palestinians its easier for them because the Israel haters
14. Obama hates Israel
C   (10.21.15)
obama has undermined israel at every turn. he started his presidency by telephoning mahmoud abbas, a known terror leader who denies the holocaust and who refuses to acknowledge jewish historical ties to the land of israel and the two jewish temples. obama has humiliated israel and her prime minister on numerous occasions. he made netenyahu and ehud barak enter the white house through the back door and made them wait while he had dinner. obama boycotted the knesset, the only foreign leader to do so. obama ordered netanyahu to release a hundred convicted terrorists just to talk to abbas. obama ordered netanyahu to apologise to erdogan. obama withheld arms during the last gaza war. kerry has threatened israel with sanctions, with boycotts, with intifadas. the obama regime's foreign policy has led to the rise of the islamic state, and to iranian troops and russian military assets being stationed in syria. obama has willfully undermined israel's international standing. obama and kerry have put the sovereign democratic jewish state on the same footing as islamic terror groups.
15. so, Yemeni censored me
c   (10.21.15)
why? because i said that obama hates israel as is evident from the examples i provided. it makes no difference. history will jidge him.
16. before
nisreen ,   anata   (10.21.15)
before 15 years there were no terror and before1500 years there were no jihad no wars evrything was okey becouse there were no islam >>> are you a child
17. One comparison missed in the article.
JRS   (10.21.15)
Nazi Germany and israel.
18. Why......
tiki ,   belgium   (10.21.15)
has the US & the rest of the world such a difficult time praising Israel and instead blaming her for something they would do themselves being in the same situation? Because Israel is the country of the Jews and in the mindset of the Jew hating West Jews deserve to die..........not a country! Stop asking the same questions over & over again.
19. There You Go Again
Brett ,   Florida   (10.21.15)
Writing a column like a sensible person, when tomorrow you be back at it again accusing Jews of every sin under the sun.
20. On the other hand.
Brad ,   USA   (10.22.15)
We hear from Obama that our jets have bombed ISIS. However, since Obama can't open his mouth without lying, we've got absolutely no reason to believe our jets have bombed ISIS. The jets may have flown, and they may have dropped bombs, but that's it. They didn't bomb ISIS, they bombed sand.
21. This Administration
Christy ,   Boston, US   (10.23.15)
doesn't understand hypocrisy. "Do as I say not as I do."
