1. Does anyone still believe Netanyahu?
(11.24.15)
If Netanyahu told me it was sunny outside, U'd go to the nearest window and check for rain.
2. Israel warned many times
David ,   USA   (11.24.15)
Israel was warned many many times, including by Kerry, that the status quo they enjoyed was unsustainable and they needed to change their policies. Netanyahu shrugged and remained intransigent to the international community. Now Israel faces a knifr intifadah arising from years of frustration and despair among Palestinians. As they say, you reap what you sow.
3. This land is ours. We build. End of story!
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.24.15)
Judea and Samaria belong to us. We build. End of story. "Palestine" belongs with Oz, Narnia and Neverland; in the annals of fiction.
4. Kerry & Obumma are IRRELEVANT !!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (11.24.15)
5. British and Islam Genocide Paper 1939
Zechariah   (11.24.15)
The moderate Islam accepted the Genocide Paper 1939 - No Mass Rescue for European Jews not to the Empty Spaces of Eretz Yisrael not to the Empty Spaces of the Massive Islamic Lands from Turkey to Brunei . So its very hard to make concessions the Jewish Population ought be Fourty Million now .Many European Jews had large Families .
6. Note how bibi always offers concessions
ron   (11.24.15)
\bibi is not an upright jew. \he falters, he hesitates, he fools the electorate with his commando background since he is not a militry man at all. \there is almost no difference between bibi and herzog as both suffer failure of nerve. \so bibi offers concessions but a little bit later in return for kerry approving settlement construction. \the \\\\us was not in favour of israel doing preemptive in 67 and counterattacking in 73 and nuclear hits. \why bother asking the \us. \obama turned down bush assurances- do you recall. \bibi seeks assurances because he flinches and he is a coward . \\everyone knows it. \it no longer matter what he does. \the only reason why he won the \pmship is because of the weak opposition. \however, bennett and feiglin are much stronger and more assertive than bibi. \Leiberman is too but he is untrustworthy as he changes his spots too often. There is no reason to offer abbas anything.
7. balance
ed   (11.25.15)
whatever the reasons, arab kids and adults are stabbing innocent civilans in the face, neck, head, chest, whereever with knives and scissors, and ramming them with cars, and shooting them with uzis.Some israelis fight back. Kerry tells bibi there is no excuse for such attacks on civilians. Then Kerry goes to ramallah and tells abbas that he sympathizes with the palestinians. Kerry has no principles, an empty windbag. Bibi sits there and listens while this buffoom, the author of the iran deal spews out nonsense. The 2 of them go together.
8. Understanding Netanyahu
John ,   Toronto   (11.25.15)
What he means is "acknowledge our settlements and we will continue to tell the Palestinians what they can and cannot build just like we have done for the last fifty years."
9. US and ISREAL talk
Violet herber ,   Victorville, USA   (11.25.15)
You told him good, Mr. Prime Minister. I love you . You have to stand up to the American leaders. They don't care one bit about Israel. DONT TRUST THEM.
10. Biology favors the strong. '67's victors will dictate.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (11.25.15)
11. #2 David
IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (11.25.15)
Israel has warned numerous times that it will not leave its security to Ham Ass or any other useless front. The PALIS are never serious about living in peace. This entire PALI CHRADE has been created to extort money form UN and other donors. Please tell your friends to stop wasting our time. ISRAEL WILL NOT LET ANOTHER ISIS BEING CREATED ON ITS BORDER.
12. Clever Bibi
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (11.25.15)
Knowing the Arab psych he puts out the proposal knowing they will refuse. Clever. My question is, after obama, assuming America votes in a republican, why should one pal home be left in Jewish Israel? No other nation on earth is so scrutinized, criticized, and made to jump through hoops despite being the best ME ally America has. ( despite obamas attempts to 'crucify Israel.') Why is it any business of the formerly Nazi held nations AKA UN EU to give 'advice' to Israel? Why is it America's business to punish Israel fro her own self rule? Why is it obamas personal vendetta to split, divide and try and conquer Israel and hand it over to her enemies on a silver platter? This is what Bibi has to fight daily. He is the best suited man for this time. Israel is fortunate to have a man who hasn't had his testicles removed in the name of politics or, the Democrat party. KICK ASS ISRAEL !!
13. # 6 Ron please don't ignore the obvious
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (11.25.15)
Only obama and his goons called Bibi a 'chicken shit." Might I remind you Bibi must work in this hostile atmosphere with an anti semitic lunatic called obama, whose boasted "I represent Jewish values more than Bibi.?" obamas either drunk of mentally ill. How would you like to work under this scene? It isn't just Israel obama has problems with as they say, 'he doesn't work well with others.' BUILD MORE AND MORE WILL COME ( Much to the horror of obama and the anti semites who make war against G-ds chose, much to their regret.)
14. # 8 John, LOL America STILL has Indian reservations....
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (11.25.15)
and, the American Indians were smart enough to proclaim "we will war no more." Hint... Make peace or move. The land belongs to mighty yet small Israel and no enemy whose fought in six wars against Israel, lost them all, and still continues to terrorize using their kiddies ( Indians never did that or, make their women 'warriors' either.) Now, the best part, Indians have made themselves more self sustainable, built casinos that sponsor jobs, health care, education etc. to better their lives and not use any evil means possible to make America or Israel, in this case, surrender as do the confederate Arabs. Israel wont surrender so, the pals must or, be eliminated or repatriated. Simple. WHEN'S THE THIRD TEMPLE TO BE DEDICATED????
15. Last night Erekat spoke…AND SAID NOTHING
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (11.25.15)
The point is this Masses of Palestinians want a debate on the viability of a contiguous physically unified Palestine in an expanded Greater Gaza the so called Option 3 originally put forward by Palestinian Activists way back in 1999 A new Palestine created from Gaza and Negev Territory in exchange for West Bank and possible purchases of Sinai Territory from Egypt. Potentially a land area greater than Lebanon A land RICH in resources from offshore gas and oil, beautiful beaches and with water amazingly fertile agricultural potential So why wont Hamas and the PA even TALK about it? Why are they turning deaf when the subject arises? Because each in their individual positions are determined to hold on to power, control and MONEY in their little kingdoms holding their ‘subjects’ hostage to their greed and despotism And sadly Kerry, Obama, and especially Mogherini and Moon…all dancing crazily and obscenely to THE ABBAS and HAMAS TUNE yet again leave ordinary Palestinians betrayed to accept this lousy status quo
16. 1948 set the stage for all wins for Israel zero for her
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (11.25.15)
enemies. I guess the land of Israel has magic or a mighty G-d. Just like it says in the Book. What a famous Book, best seller ever number uno baby !!! G-d must be Jewish..... And, is he ever pissed.....
17. Wish obama could say that....
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (11.25.15)
instead of inviting ISIS over to the White House for a beer. ISIS refused stating they'd be busy hanging their flag on top the White House instead
18. and the same right-wing nuts here bemoan BDS as anti-Jewish
Rafi ,   US   (11.25.15)
You've got the real reason right here in front of you: your arrogance and Netanyahu's kowtowing to it. Settlements and right-wing fanaticism are steadily leading to Israel's growing diplomatic isolation. Not anti-Semitism.
