1. A few weeks ago brainless declared Putin a friend
Avi L.   (01.15.16)
And just a few weeks ago a few brainless declared Putin friend, future of the middle east, vanquisher of the jihadists and considered nearer relations with the Kremlin boss leaving US on a side. Right, one more harebrained "deep thought" as in http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4732839,00.html Putin is bad for Israel, period.
2. The One who is greatest knows
US citizen ,   US   (01.15.16)
and He sees the end of anything Russia is beginning, and, because of Him, though many will fail to grasp, it will be a miraculous victory for Israel. Then there will be trouble.

4. #1: PUTIN is THE BEST FRIEND and Partner for israel
z.Lackow ,   israel   (01.15.16)
Sorry to say, but your knowledge of Russia is on a level of 4 year old child. Israel owes its existence to RUSSIA, not once, but twice. If Russia wouldn't defeat Germany in WWII, there not only wouldn't have left any jews in europe, but israel wouldn't exist of course. Second, RUSSIA voted for israel in 1948. Israel's "friend", american bastards, pretenders of being in WWII, voted NO in the firs round, but changed their vote after realising Russia voted Yes. USA doesn't need friends. US classifies their "friends" as PUPPETS and SLAVES. Israel is BOTH. RUSSIA is the best and most logical partner and friend of israel. And israel already starting to develope better ties with RUSSIA in ALL fields, including military co-operation and business. Israel's foundation today is Russian jews, those who arrived before 1990 and those who arrived after. They are 70% of israel today. But israel should keep playing its role as american slave for a time being.

7. #4 - It's not 1948, as simple as this !
Avi L.   (01.15.16)
Anyone helping a terror organization against Israel is not Israel's friend. Capisce? Russsian Jews are 70% of Israel? Did you get it from Pravda? Russian Jews ran away from the likes of Stalin, Breznev, Cernienko and Putin. Now they live free countries, not in countries where some thug kills journalists. Ponimayete? Putin is not good for Israel. PS Stalin was just paying back Jews, you know Karl Marx is the one (Jew) who made CCCP possible ... XXX
8. Russia is playing with fire...............
Calabi ,   Sydney Aust   (01.16.16)
Russia is starting and playing with fire and the problem is USA under Obama is watching. Israel must fast tract to build shelters to protect its citizens. Israel must also stock pile its fire amos beyond full force. The next war Israel have no time at all to show mercy otherwise they themself will be wipe out. Muslim in the Beeka Valley must leave the region now. Also Israel must target Moscow to draw full American fire power! And if America is watching then Israel needs to pray if they don't at all, for those who pray they have to pray harder! God bless Israel.
9. you'll need a much more convincing script, Lackow
Cameron ,   USA   (01.16.16)
You won't sway anyone on the virtues of becoming Russian lackeys with that sort of yammer.
10. To nr 4 - Sorry, but you're completely wrong
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (01.16.16)
Israel doesn't owe its existence to Russia for several reasons: 1) Jews have existed for the past 4000 years. The Israelite/Jewish civilization was born 2000 BCE and the Russian civilization was born roughly 1000 AD, which means the Jews or the Israelites predate the Russians by 3000 years. 2) Jews have been executed, murdered and persecuted in Russia for centuries. The height of Russian anti-Semitism was reached in the 1800s with the pogroms - which lead to the massive Jewish aliyah to Israel, and the Russian anti-Semitism during the mid and late 20th Century, when Jews were on the verge of being annihilated by the USSR before Stalin died of old age. 3) The weapons Israel used in the 1948-49 war came from Czechoslovakia - not the USSR. 4) It was Israel alone that financed and built, and constructed its cities, skyscrapers, high tech industry and universities, army, navy and air force, fought the deserts and malaria swamps, brought in the Jewish exiles and revived Hebrew as a daily language, and it was Israel alone that fought for its survival. Russia/USSR has categorically and consistently undermined Israel's existence by arming Israel's enemies, voting against Israel in the UN General Assembly and siding with and equipping and even training Israel's worst foes from 1948 - 1973 - Egypt and Syria. The USSR even threatened to strike Israel itself in 1967 and 1973, but backed down when America threatened to intervene on Israel's behalf. You don't know whether or not Israel's existence would have been jeopardized without any Russian victory against Nazi Germany. It was the Zionists, not the Ruskies, that built Israel. It was the Zionists that armed themselves ans trained themselves to learn the art of war - not the Russians. Many countries, in fact most UN countries back in 1947 voted for Israel's right to exist as a sovereign and independent Jewish state. Russia's interest in Israel, was to use Israel as a Soviet Socialist satellite state against what Stalin saw as "Western imperialism". Sadly to Stalin, and gladly to Israel and the Jewish people, Israel opted to become a capitalist free market Western oriented liberal secular democracy. Roughly 50% of Israel's Jews are Ashkenazim (amongst them Russian Jews) and roughly 50% of Israel's Jews are Sephardim. That means, obviously, that Russian Jews account for even less than 50% of Israel's Jews. The overwhelming majority of Americans are pro-Israeli and pro-Jewish, most Congressmen are pro-Israeli and pro-Jewish. The anti-Israel elements can be found in the CIA, US State Department and American oil companies. Israel is nobody's slave or puppet. Israel is an independent and sovereign state. The best proof that Israel is sovereign and independent is that Israel under Netanyahu has often collided with Obama's America and despite Obama's pressure on Israel, Israel remains an independent and sovereign state, making its own decisions and policies.
11. Israel should strike Hezbollah hard 24/7
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (01.16.16)
It's completely irrelevant whether Hezbollah intends to strike Israel today, tomorrow or in 10 years from now. Hezbollah has decared war on Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. It might be a correct conclusion that Hezbollah still has thousands of rockets in its arsenal and it may very well be that Hezbollah's morale has reached an all time low, but it doesn't change the fact that Hezbollah still poses a threat to Israel. Israel should pound and bomb the sh*t out of Hezbollah 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year until Hezbollah has been permanently been eradicated from the face of the Earth. Don't let them rest. Don't let them recover from their wounds. Punch and knock their lungs and rib cage every single day. Don't let the Shia Muslim Iranian proxy terrorists of Lebanon breathe for a single day. Only because Israel's enemies sit tight and wait for the right opportunity to strike Israel, doesn't mean that Israel should play their game. It's completely insufficient that Israel on a continous basis strikes arms shipments to Hezbollah and returns fire when being fired upon. Israel should DETER Hezbollah from even doing these things, and the best way to deter Hezbollah is to declare a war of annihilation on Hezbollah.
