1. Need to be diiplomat
Barry ,   Boston   (11.06.15)
The head of public diplomacy needs to be diplomatic. Baratz may be fine for another government position, but putting him in a diplomatic position looks like an incredibly stupid idea. Even Iran's diplomats know how to deal with the US. That's how they got the nuclear deal. If they acted like Baratz the talks would never have started.
2. If he is appointed Arafat will turn in his grave
(11.06.15)
This is offensive even to moderate Jahidim
3. Baratz is Correct
Joe Mevorah ,   Lincoln, USA   (11.06.15)
Obama does have all the traits of a modern sophisticated anti-Semite. John Kerry is an arrogant child. It's too bad we still put up with these two fools until 2016. Putin is certainly going to miss Obama. Baratz is correct!
4. A Jerk !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (11.06.15)
The Israeli PMs comments was wery mild according to me. Arn.Sweden.
5. What he did wrong
Christy ,   Boston, US   (11.06.15)
In his position, he shouldn't have posted on social media. I don't think his statements are wrong, and an increasing number of Americans would agree with him. US Foreign policy is a joke. I honestly don't understand why the White House and State keep doing what they do.

TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (11.06.15)
Speaking the truth ,and hearing the truth is SO REFRESHING , even if it may not exactly be what we wish to hear. Being always politically correct and polite is such a bore.
