1. Yet another "message" of hate from Obama regime
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.19.16)
Leave it to nut case Shiffer to take the side of the most hostile U.S. President Israel has ever faced. The "message" Israel received from Shapiro is simply more hate from Obama. As if we didn't already know he is our enemy. And America's.
2. B52 how many civilians were killed, the cruise how many? th
Marko   (01.19.16)
Shapiro's mouth, Kery and Obama words, The B52 how many civilians were killed, the cruise how many? the drones how many.
3. Human rights violations in the US
Avi L.   (01.20.16)
Start giving back the land to the Indians and then the US will have some credibility. Stop shooting kids with plastic guns. Start giving lessons to Russia, China, Iran, Turkey ....
4. so do we. enough of the muslim mule in the white house.

5. US +EU want to shove Pal state down Israel's throat
Sam ,   Canada   (01.19.16)
The US and EU don't care about West Bank human rights or justice. What they want is to prevent Muslim attacks in the US and EU as has happened recently. They stupidly and naively think a Palestinian state will do this. They are angry that Israel doesn't play along with them. That is what the fuss is all about. Israel must stand its ground. It has the most to lose.
6. US under Obama irrelevant to ME.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (01.20.16)
Let them shrill all they want. The US is irrelevant to events in the Middle East under this administration. Obama is weakness personified and his representatives mirror this reality. Said it years ago... Israel needs new alliances across the Levant, Maghreb, in the Arabian peninsula, India and Russia, brokered on strength and shared mutual interest. You will see more of the same if Sanders gets in and Clinton is peeling hard left to follow the Comedy Central demographic. Even if a Republican gets in in 2016 there are many reasons to believe that America is growing steadily center-left so and this trend will probably continue as the country leaves its rural roots and more and more people live in and align with urban, liberal values. This is unfortunate. Such values exemplify an insular outlook that are simply incapable of understanding the motivations of the world OCONUS. Rainbows and unicorns are the stuff of fairy tales and the Obama administration. The Israeli people and power structure seem to understand this. Ynet... not so much.
7. Shapiro would have made a good capo.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (01.20.16)
8. we are ALL settlers
Ted ,   Tel Aviv   (01.20.16)
We Israelis should tell the world that we are all settlers whether we live in TA, Haifa, Jerusalem or in the territories. We came and settled this land. Once the Arabs call parts of us as occupying settlers, the same will be for the rest of us. The Arabs claim TA is theirs too. We fought vicious battles for TA, Haifa and Jerusalem and lost good boys doing it. We also fought vicious battles for our cities in the WB too. We are all Israelis; and we are ALL settlers!
9. 2 court jews, schiffer and schapiro...
Daniel ,   TA _ IL   (01.20.16)
wallowing in hatred they are more than willing to do the muslim brotherhood's bidding and justify their hatred that will always end in a genocide on jews. better said 'et tu schiffer and schapiro', does it feel good to stab the state of Israel in the back?
10. Arab Textbooks and Media
Zola ,   ,   (01.20.16)
No doubt there are war criminals amongst the settler groups even Bennett has criticised and mulls a union with Likud . But US Ambasseder Shapiro ought condemn Arab media hate of Jews -in reality Mandated Palestine was an escape from Genocide for a few hundred thousand . The Arabs led by the Grand Mufti El Husseini wanted in fact to genocide the Jews in Mandated Palestine and even Iraq and Syria .
11. The Party Is Over
Joe Mevorah ,   Lincoln, USA   (01.20.16)
The political reality is that the current administration is well within its timeline to abandon Israel and hug Iran. I'm quite convinced that Israel will prioritize its options and form stronger ties with Russia, India, China, the Saudis and others in the Middle East. The blundering fool in the White House has been insulted once too often by Netanyahu, and Israel must adjust.
12. Schiffer: Opinion 1/19/16
Will ,   Madison, USA   (01.21.16)
About time! US government finally listens to its majority. I do not believe the Israeli government actually knows (or cares, for that matter) how many Americans are against what is happening to the Palestinians. US provides $10.2M in military aid EACH DAY to Israel; therefore, it is our fault.
