1. One thousand dead Jews ! Oslo
Heshy ,   Usa   (11.02.15)
Is this article for real? One thousand Jews were blown up under this idiotic Oslo agreement. How can you look back on those days when busses were blown up by the peace partner Arafat as the three stoodges Rabin,Clinton and Arafat were taking pictures every few weeks how peace was on the horizon. Yes pieces of dead jewish bodies. I guess the secular leftist want to be victims. Now too this knifing attacks can end in five minutes. But democracy is their religion not the Torah. They don't care about jewish lives only democracy. If they would throw every family member of a terrorist into Syria then all trouble from these young punks would end. And family means parents,siblings,uncles and aunts along with their families. Then you import a hundred thousand Chinese to work in hotels and hospitals and construction. Then you have a Supreme Court made up of leftist and Arabs that is now busy deciding to make gay marriage. No wonder no normal jews are visiting israel. Planes are half empty and no normal person would want to stay at an israeli hotel where the food is prepared by Arabs. You got to be suicidal to vacation in israel. This year in fact jews went to kosher programs in china and the Bahamas and were treated like kings by those non jewish citizens. Maybe the loss in tourism will wake up some government officials. Four year jail is a joke for stone throwers. Give them twenty years and the streets will be safe for tourism. In Singapore they dish out caning if you even put graffiti. It seems like Israel has lost its Divine protection.
2. Wise Optimistic Comforting Words
ASTRONAUT ,   USA   (11.02.15)
spoken from behind a BULLET PROOF SHIELD.
3. Kadmon doesn't think straight.
Brad ,   USA   (11.02.15)
She's a fool singing the praises of another fool. Clinton was no leader, he did what all lefty hacks do. He confiscated money from people who earn a living, and gave it to those who don't. He also made sure our enemies got their share of the loot. Clinton was instrumental in putting pressure on Israel to make concessions to terrorists for peace that never came. Clinton treated yasser Arafat like a distinguished diplomat instead of the murdering monster that he was. He also pressured Israel into negotiating with that same murdering monster. Clinton sold out the U.S. to the red Chinese for campaign cash. And as everyone knows, Clinton spent most of his eight years in the White House with his pants down around his ankles. These are not the attributes of a leader. Bill Clinton is just a life support system for a big lying mouth, pretty much like the present occupant of the White House.
4. Clinton would sing a very different tune
Jake   (11.03.15)
if under his watch, the United States had to deal with even 1% of what Israel has to go through, nonstop for 67 years.
5. Easy for Clinton to give us advice
Expert ,   USA   (11.02.15)
If the Arabs were claiming half of Washington DC and the White House, and were running around stabbing in his neighborhood, I think Clinton would be saying different things than he says to us. He wouldnt tolerate this for one minute.
6. How did USA handle Boston bombing?
Expert ,   USA   (11.02.15)
I don't remember them negotiating with Tamerlan and his brother. They shot one, and sentenced the other to death.
7. Sima dreamer
Shalom ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.02.15)
Sima loves Clinton, who constantly misjudged Arafat and Abbas, and hates Netanyahu, because his judgment is constantly confirmed by reality.
8. Clinton
Janet W ,   Jerusalem   (11.02.15)
Didn't anyone notice that Clinton was lying.
9. And there aren't enough corrupt politicians in Israel?
David ,   New york   (11.02.15)
So you want to import them from America? You can have him
10. Mr. Clinton
NickiJoury ,   NYC   (11.02.15)
TRULY I DO NOT THINK MR. CLINTON WAS STRONG. REMEMBER HOW TERRORISTS ATTACKED OUR EMBASSIES IN AFRICA ALL HE said. " WE will show those terrists" REMEMBER? They wormed the USA BOUT BENGAZI. , THE TERRORISTS ATTACKED THE U.K.FRANCE ETC THEY SAID USA WILL BE LAST...THAT WAS IN ANOTHER PRESIDENT TIME HIS NAME IS OBAMA...ACTUALLY THE only thing Clinton tried was BRING PEACE TO ISRAEL. HE KNEW every Ally in Jerusalem. CAUSE OF HIM 9/11 HAPPENED. HE WAS ALL TALK "NOT DO". AND NOW WE VE in the W.H. another "peace maker:" CAN U REMIND ME WHY DID HE GOT NOBEL PEACE PRIZE ACTUALLY HE DID NOT EVEN CALM THE UPRISING IN N.AFRICA. SO Y DID HE GET 2009 NOBEL PRIZE? BOTH MR. CLINTON & OBAMA R THE SAME...ALL BIG WORDS NO ACTIONS
11. kadmon wrong again
jay   (11.02.15)
kadmon, the snivelling weakling, always blames israeli leaders for no peace. \not only is he blind, he is scared, as are too many israelis from years of deprivation of self reliance and independence. god himself could not hammer out peace in the area since zohar is very clear as to the solution-jews have to get out of tel aviv. \holding hands and remembering rabinn in tel aviv square will not bring peace.
12. israeli journalists eyes closed and arab attacks
hymie   (11.02.15)
In a perverse way, arabs attacking journlists may have the effect of waking them up from their oslo dreams whicch are nothinng but bunk. If kadmon wants peace so much, he should urge his buddies to give their homes to arabs from east jerusalem and move to new jersey or poland. Arabs want the jews out of tel aviv period. the only arrangement otherwise that could occur is cold armistice arrangements driven by fear and grudging respect born out of idf beating the hell out of the arabs. \\there is no mercy for the weak in the middle east and haaretz, ynet journalist and oppenheimer and gal on togehter with livni and herzog are all weak jews. as these jews will pass the scene naturlly, there is hope for the jews. \otherwise, there is no hope for the jews and another holocaust will see the kadmons sleepwalk into more oven.
13. Israel needs a leader like Putin. Not a liar like Clinton
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.02.15)
One of the last things Israel needs is another crooked proven lying liberal leader like Clinton. Clinton's legacy hunt, and Labor's evil idiocy, cost Israel tens of thousands of maimed and murdered civilians from Oslo alone! Israel needs a strong, bold leader like Putin; who doesn't put up with lies and deals very rough justice to terrorists and other scum. The ridiculous author of this article is oblivious to the most obvious facts. This is the defining characteristic of Israeli leftists.
14. When will Israel have a Leader
Tova ,   Canada   (11.02.15)
Israel has many leaders. Why can't Netanyahu....be like Clinton. Because the United States have never had terrorism in the way Israel has experienced over 5,000 years. Because Netanyahu is a an experienced leader - much greater than most US Presidents. Because Rabin called for Peace. - which obviously will never happen. Bill Clinton is one of the very few American Presidents that was pro-Israel. Hiliary Clinton has no desire for Israel. President Johnson was a much greater supporter for Israel than most Leaders around the world. Natenyahu does not have the LUXURY like other world leaders. He is too busy taken care of Israel. Rabin was a good person you can see it in his eyes. However, Rabin was also conflicted. He knew that a 2 state solution will never work. Rabin like Netanyhu understand the dangers of a 2 state solution. Rabin was pleasing the United States. Netanyhu is doing what is best for Israel. No leader after Natenyahu will be as great.
15. Clinton
Nicki Adar ,   USA NYC   (11.03.15)
I do not think Clinton was so great. ALL THE EMBASSIES IN AFRICA, OTHER ISSUES. HE REALLY TRIED TO ACHIEVED PEACE IN ISRAEL GAVE. A LOT OF MONEY TO ARAFAT.EHICH THAT MONEY never GOT TO THR HANDS OF SO CALL PALISTIANS. ..INN FACT HE WAS ALL TALK NOT DO.WHO KNOWS Y 9/11 HAPPEND. USA IS NO LONGER THE MAIN WORLD POWER..SAD BUT TRUE...
16. Bill Clinton a Chamberlaining Fool -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (11.02.15)
-nobody needs a Leader like that and, Words are cheap. Only Obama is worse than this Idiot. Arn.Sweden.
17. WE NEED LEADER LIKE CLINTON
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (11.02.15)
Like we need a hole in the head.
18. WITH A LEADER LIKE CLINTON
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (11.02.15)
Who needs enemies ?
19. CLINTON IS ONE BRAVE TOUGH GUY
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (11.02.15)
Bill Clinton is so courageous , especially when he is giving a speech while standing behind bullet-proof glass.
20.  A REALITY CHECK :
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (11.02.15)
Arabs / palestinians ,whatever ,simply do not want you here .They do not want to accept a Jewish state here in the middle east ,and neither Netanyahu , Clinton ,Donald Trump ,Harry Potter ,Obama ,or myself can change that fact. This is the reality ,anything else is just fantasy .I wish things were different ,but they are not.
21. When will Israel have a leader like Bill Clinton
Gene ,   israel   (11.02.15)
The writer is either an illusionist or completely out of the reality. Giving nice speeches without any responsibility or liability is very easy, to run this country in this region is an another matter. Seems that personal political orientation completely blinded the writer. Thanks
22. We already have had enough wishful thinking from Obama...
Shep ,   United States   (11.02.15)
Because sitting Presidents and sitting PM have a mandate to live in the world of REALITY, not the world of wishful thinking and FANTASY that Obama has exercised during his tenure as President. Bill Clinton is not in office, he has no mandate as ex-President, and no matter how wrong he may be looking back in 5 years, his legacy won't be tarnished. On top of that, Clinton (and Obama) don not have to suffer the consequences of their wishful thinking when/if it turns into another O-S-L-O (thanks for nothing on Oslo Mr. Clinton. That didn't end up working out so great, did it?
23. Soloman Balas said it all in one sentence...
David ,   Haifa   (11.02.15)
And I am grateful for the leader we have who understands better than most the situation we face of an unrelenting messianic fanaticism that will not be solved by providing more jobs... The only thing worse is the blinded liberal mindset that cannot comprehend.... We've been paying for Oslo ever since... By the way, Clinton is a lawyer...his job has trained him to make speeches that play to the emotions of the weak and fearful. He has been very successful. Thank God for Benyamin Natanyahu, I will always support him.
24. time for new leadership
Marvin Adelman ,   Las Vegas USA   (11.02.15)
As an American Jew who supports america first and then Israel I have only the following to say. Israel has to come to the reality that they are starting to lose good will among many American Jews myself included . We are coming to the realization that Israel refuses to reject extremist reactionary government and continues to support those that use inflammatory and incitement as a way to stay in power The real power of Israel are those that are hopeful and strive to calm things rather then continue to incite and inflame. If you keep reelecting Netanyahu I am fearful that you will lose all the good will that has supported Israel among American Jews
25. words mean nothing
ALLAN FELDHAMMER ,   Issaquah   (11.02.15)
Sima Kadman is dillusional. If Netanyahu was like Clinton, Abbas would be Prime Minister of Israel and the Palestinians would be living where you are Sima, not the Jews. When your neighbor wants to kill you because that's what they believe, I suggest you read them a bedtime story Sima
26. when words ring hollow
ALLAN FELDHAMMER ,   Issaquah   (11.02.15)
I suggest Sima, that if you are ever confronted by a Palestinian threatening your life, tell them Bill Clinton said you should discuss the matter first.
27. Enemies of the state
David Fakheri ,   LA USA   (11.03.15)
Sometimes I'm wondering why the " educated commentaries " who allow themselves to write and provide suggestions and advices to a top politician of our State to do or not to do " somethings " without considering enough what to say! to not to encourage the enemies of our great state!. Clinton is not here for his own choice he is in our land at this time ( Rabin's memorial ) as an agent of the " party " that he belongs to fulfill the plan to " divide " the unity of our nation. He is as " hypocritical " as his president Mr. Obama and the others in Democratic Party who obviously not caring about " OUR " Interests " when they should take care of their own interests. My English is not good enough to write a comment but I hope that I could have been successful to make my point clear and understandable enough. There is a saying in Farsi that says " Nobody will scratch my back but my own nails! ". We haven't learned enough from The Yom Kippur War in connection with our relationship with the USA but fortunately OBAMA taught us that we have to watch our back more carefully than ever when it comes to deal with our so called " friends "!.
28. Clinton was not all wise
Ari ,   Afula   (11.03.15)
I lived in USA during Clinton. He was not the greatest of Presidents, but was fortunate to be president at a time of prosperity. Whereas he did not do much of anything positive except play the saxophone he had no vision. But still he had to put his stinking hands on Monica and almost get impeached for lying about it. We need a really good leader; one who has vision and can come up with a solution for the on going terror attacks. We need some one who is not afraid of public opinion and not afraid to act for the good of the people.
29. ridiculous article.
tiki ,   belgium   (11.02.15)
Israel can afford a leader like Clinton (including the scandals, the woman) when it will have different neighbours. This is why the left is in trouble. They refuse to let go of their daydreams & pipe dreams!
30. The 9-11 attacks were planned on Clinton's watch.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (11.02.15)
The rise of China, the rise of Al Qaida, the loss of US sovereignty to our trading partners, the absolute infestation of our western public lands to marijuana -producing Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations and Oslo. All if it instigated and expedited on Clinton's watch. Pathetic. And this is your Messiah. Lord, we need the Messiah, fast. The real one.
