1. Just as Arabs talk "peace" in English, so does Netanyahu
(02.16.16)
talk "two state solution"..... Everybody knows these are lies. It's good policy, that buys us time until the bloodthirsty Arabs devour one another and then, even the pathologically antisemitic Europeans won't be able to suggest another fascist, Islamic state on our Land.
2. rivlin should remember he is a ceremonial figure
geroge   (02.16.16)
rivlin should quite acting like peres. katzav for all his probles, acted presidential and id not interfere with the prime minister.
3. france should mind its own bloody business
hy   (02.16.16)
there are limits to israeli tolerance of france's meddling. france who is scared of its 7 million moslems and who don\t go into many of their neighbourhoods plays the classic french card as they did under the nazis-cowardice. they are a bunch of cowards and all know it. idf will not assist france in its anemic antiterror operations unless france minds its own business and fast.
4. no deal with erdogan and dovetogolu
manny   (02.16.16)
the turkish brotherhood are totally unreliable in all respects, politically and militarily. israel should be helping the kurds, not erdogan and should cut no deal with erdogan, a backstabbing liar. he is only doing this because of he is scared of russia. netanyahu is so weak that he is pusihing israel into a bad deal. soon the israeli public will demand bennett or feiglin. they are sick of the weaklings bibi, herzog in particular, lapid, livni and meretz.
5. What democracy ? ,...
split ,...   (02.16.16)
6. Stupid is stupid does
Harri ,   EU   (02.16.16)
You gain nothing if you suspend minority party of their Knesset seats. They are minority anyhow and have no real power. But you lose a lot, because it reminds everyone that Israel is not a real democracy. In a real democracy MK:s can't lose their rights unless they make a crime. I hope you wake up before it is too late.
7. France is just pandering
C   (02.16.16)
france has a large muslim population and many marxist inclined voters.
8. curious bibi
marcel   (02.16.16)
bibi is bloody weak, like livni lapid and herzog. instead of telling the french to shove it, he tells them it is curious. bibi is also known privately to demand action quicker than it can be takem wth the result that the meshall hit was botched, 75 idf soldiers were killed in the 90s when bibi overestimated how loyal palestinian police would be, and more recently on the stuxnet computer virus which according to american sources, bibi rushed an extreme variant that was not easily controlled and ultimatly found out. that he is still pm has to do with the wweakling opposition and their oslo delusions which got 3000 israelis killed to date so israelis while tempted, are done with the herzog and livni concesssion peace offerings.by the way, herzog is lying. he knows very well there will be no peace if he withdraws idf troops, the itnernational forces will not help israel, and terror will multiply within the green line. he is simply lying.bibi is not that different--he is simply weak.and if you go back to his soldier days, it can explain things. he did nothing other than getting shot twice. israel has this habit of mythologizing its generals. rabin was an excellent planner but recall 67 when he broke for 3 or 4 days under pressure and then with dayan got back into it. \in 73 he had no role. ehud barak has some great commando days but was miserable as a land genera and even did not lead the marmora take over very well nor were his gaza operations good at all. gantz was a diplomat who was not prominent in the hezbollah or gaza wars. it is time for israel generals to act like sharon, orr, kalahani,and eitan.They should not act like bibi who is weak leader. he harms israeli deterrence cause he on his own is clueless and has confidence to own his decisions.he was afraid to fire livni face to face and she deserved to be fired and he allowed his wife according to the recent judge;s reports to abuse staff.
9. Unite "Palestinians" with their French lovers in France
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.16.16)
Israel's best response to typical French treachery and Jew baiting is to adopt policies fostering massive "Palestinian" departure. Especially to France. Unite "Palestinians" with their French lovers in France. Israel need merely end all support for fictional "Palestine" and let the abomination fall. "Palestinians" would be more than eager to leave the disaster.
10. The Truth of the Matter
Barry Black ,   New York, New York   (02.16.16)
The Palestinians were offered a settlement and a state twice. Once under Barak and second under Olmert and both times they refused with offering a counter proposal meaning they don't want a settlement----they prefer conflict.
11. The frogs Should Clean Up Their Own
(02.17.16)
Backyard, and take out the Trash. As far as Peace Goes, Murders and Terrorists dont make good neighbors!
12. Typical
(02.17.16)
French posing their nose in others affairs. What will happen if British vote out of EU just in four months? Are they thinking of that or still thinking of Palestinians?
13. "The State of Palestine will be created before President
A ,   Belgium   (02.17.16)
Obama leaves office." Rest assured, folks, when Harold makes a prediction it is guaranteed not to happen. If he predicted the sun would rise in the east, it would rise in the west just to continue his ZERO success rate.
14. 8 marcel
C   (02.18.16)
do not believe anything coming from the obama people, not about the stuxnet virus. the information publicly released was a state secret and undoubtedly manipulated. obama is trying to force natanyahu to accept his military assistance deal. obama is reneging on his promise to compensate israel for the iran nuclear deal.
