Actually there are huge flaws in all societies but religious fanaticism is the most dangerous now but other manifestations are close Organized crime with Drugs Sex Slaves and Money Laundering is epidemic . Wealth Gaps are huge and despite the Just War on Nazism and the Empire ofJapan who committed Holocausts and Mass murders NuclearBombs and the Fire Bombing of Dresden and Japanese cities was criminal and many innocents died while vile war criminals escaped and even prospered .

erdogan is a committed bortherhood, lies his teeth off and has blood of the kurds on his hands.isrel should continue trade with turkey but that is it. forget about tourism and any other mutual exchanges cause erdogan is treacherous and a crook. Putin is the only one calling his for what he is. Bibi kissed erdogan's rear end cause he is weak, Obama laughs and enjoys with erdogan while he slaughters kurds because obama is in bed with the brotherhood regardless of him attending church. He is brotherhood in his bones. Bibi is wasting his time sending emissaries to turkey. Until the turkish armed forces put erdogan in jail, bibi is wasting his time.

"Ben Carson is a Bezalel Smotrich with a PhD" What the writer did not understand, Ben Carson PhD knows the rectum/anus is a very very unclean/filthy part of a body in medical sense and he is not wrong scientifically. And Bezalel Smotrich probably knows it too.

we are too human and with that comes flaws. We are capable of all things at different times. Some of us, that is. KEEP BUILDING !!

that is until we're threatened and we resort to barbarism or, as it's now known as war. I have to laugh when people say, "we're much better than that." No, we aren't. We're human.

The problem is man does not live by bread alone. Your post-modern world has given us more Chinese-made junk than anyone can use. But we buy more. We have more cell phones, tablets, phablets, computers, connectivity than at any other point in human history and people are still not happy. Many, particularly in the East, savor for something more. I suggest that something is meaning, intent, purpose, longevity. Cosmology. You shouldn't be surprised when leaders who are of such a culture, outshine those leaders that subsist on IPO's, high technology and global warming. A contradiction really because high tech and IPO's induce global warming. Such a paradox! The West is absorbed with its materialism. Why do you criticize these Westerners as being xenophobes? What such westerners understand is that Easterners, especially those of the Muslim persuasion, eschew Western materialism. To the point of waging jihad against it. Why would Westerners be expected to allow potentially dangerous Easterners into their countries? You are confused, Mr. Barnea. Ours is a world governed by the aggressive use of force. Decades of relative peace have obscured that truth but now the state of man is coming to light. Schengen is on the way out. The entire EU is unstable. Tonight as I write this fresh terrorist attacks have occurred in California, a place you argue should be allowing in more Islamics... Really Mr Barnea? You are confused, sir.

Barnea's shallow anti-religious bigotry is wearing really thin. Does he really think that secular humanism, which brought us the Terror and the 100 million killed by Communist attempts to bring humanity to utopia, isn't just as susceptible to the same extremism as Jihadist Islam? Ironic since most of the religious groups he defames are totally peaceful, unlike his own secular one.

They are right up there with the Taliban when it comes to their instinct to repress modernity and force everyone back to the dark ages. They prove there is no God, for a just God would never invent them.

MR. TRUMP INDICATES TO DISTROY TERRORISTS FAMILY HOMES IS immoral . WELL DEAR TRUMP "WHAT WOULD YOU DO?" I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. TRUMP TO TAKE A TRIP TO ISRAEL., ISRAEL IDF, N. THE CITIZENS OF THE STATE ARE CONSIDERED THE MOST MORAL OF MAN KIND. ISRAEL IS tired TO ENDURE SO MUCH SUFFERS. . 68 YEARS OF GRAVE PAIN. SHAME ON YOU MR. TRUMP. I WANTED TO VOTE FOR YOU... VISIT ISRAEL. PLEASE!

We know that Nachum Barnea is a ultra liberal and resents anything that is not liberal. And in the USA he would be treated with great honor. However, in Israel, we have a different culture. We must blend both the secular, the religious, the rightest and the liberal into a cohesive society. Whereas the US is going more and more liberal (Trump and Carson probably will be defeated) Israel that suffers from Arab incitement and from a growing surge in religious sector, seem to become more conservative. We and Mr. Barnea should learn to live with the times and with the local problems that we have.

Recently, an event happened in the U.S. which shines a bright light on the idiocy of Barnea and this article. Donald Trump claimed many U.S. Muslims cheered the 9/11 mass murder. The liberal media went absolutely crazy against Trump. Hour after hour, he was insulted, pilloried on all major liberal networks. And than... video after video surfaced of U.S. Muslims wildly celebrating 9/11. Witness after witness emerged swearing that Trump was correct. That pretty much says it all about idiot Barnea and his politics.

... the US has failed to exercise world leadership - e.g. failure to enforce 'red lines' in Syria; tolerance of Putin's flagrant aggression in Crimea & Ukraine... the world is now rapidly descending into chaos, law-of-the jungle environment. As Barnea correctly points out, as opposed to be a "Light unto the Nations", Israel under Bibi is rapidly becoming a miniature stand-in for the rest of the chaotic world... Not hard to see where all this ends up: no place good!

I'm ashamed we have a president in the White House that's made such a mess of US Foreign Policy. If our president had behaved differently, we may not have ISIS killing its thousands. --- I can't wait to vote in a Republican for president. Would never consider a Democrat because I fear having more of the same disaster we've had the last 8 years.

call him THAT?!!! He's a red apparatchik and wouldn't recognize Liberalism if he tripped on one....
