1. Useful idiots abound
Yardena   (04.02.16)
Patrick Leahy serves as a continuous reminder that there are those in the West who function as nothing more than useful idiots for Palestinian terrorism. Their repeated and exclusive criticism of Israel, the Mideast’s only democracy, merely serves to increase Palestinian intransigence and violence thereby reducing any prospect of peaceful settlement.
2. No Danger to Israel
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (04.02.16)
Israel can exempt itself from the Leahy Law easily. Just refuse US military welfare. The law only applies to the US and who The US is allowed to give weapons of war to. There is not danger to Israel. If you want to execute prisoners, that is your choice. US taxpayers just have no need to subsidize the executions.
3. Leahey law
Dennis ,   Sarasota, Florida   (04.02.16)
The law actually specifically refers to units who contravene human rights --- NOT entire armies or countries!!! get your facts straight mr. yemini, your fearmongering is showing

5. Speaking of investigations
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (04.02.16)
this idiot was in support of gifting Iran $15 billion dollars to sponsor world wide terrorism. He and obama and his 'trained chimps' AKA democrats should be investigated charged with treason and sent to jail. Disgraceful shits. VOTE REPUBLICAN ANY REPUBLICAN!!
6. Democrats are now
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (04.02.16)
closet members of ISIS. VOTE REPUBLICAN !!! and. KEEP BUILDING !!!
7. The pot calling the kettle black...
David ,   Hartford USA   (04.02.16)
This is too much to take. The righteous USA has killed tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of civilian Iraqis while 'protecting' them. The same in Syria, Yemen, and Libya. When the USA comes in to save the day, thousands of civilians end up dead. Is the USA charged with war crimes? No. But a single soldier terminates a dedicated terrorist and a US Senator and few flunky representatives ask for an investigation for Israeli war crimes!! What hypocrisy! What nerve! What anti-Semitic bilge! Leahy's career is going nowhere, and he's irrelevant in Washington, so maybe this is his way to get attention. Or maybe it's his way to attract Arab money for his next election run. Israel can police it's own, just like the USA. Leahy should stop his grandstanding (along with his camp-followers) and do his elected job- which is not nosing around in another country's war on terrorism. Hey, Patrick- you used to have some integrity. What happened? Running low on funds for your next election bid? What did you promise the flunky representatives to sign on? You're all a very smarmy crew. By the way, Patrick, did you ask for an investigation of the USA when it killed more civilians than bad guys in Iraq? Or Pakistan? Or Yemen? I couldn't find your request for one. Now why is that? WHY IS THAT?

Proof if needed how any jew who votes for the dumocratic party is a fool. Thanks to jew traitors the party isn't afraid of thevjewish vote. 8 yrs of the abomination and his supporters have brought this about
9. Yeah, you Mr.Yemini, have not so small role in this as well!
(04.02.16)
Your writings are often of the "progressive/enlightened/critical/correct" kind. That must never be a case, when a country is embroiled in a war for survival with a mortal, unflinching enemy. Besides, tolerating openly self-hating organisations like B'tselem, Peace Now, Machsom Watch, Breaking Silence...so on, is an unforgivable blunder. If this is the picture at home, what do you expect the "world" to say?!
10. *OCCUPATION, OCCUPATION*, squawked Beckham the
A ,   Belgium   (04.02.16)
mindless parrot, mimicking a word that she may have heard but has no conception of it's meaning. As you yourself are an immigrant (using a false name and photo) to the U.S., has it occurred to you that you are squatting on occupied Native American land, in a culture built using Chinese and African slave labor? *SQUAWK* Damn hypocrite!
11. Moralists & Human Rights
tiki ,   belgium   (04.02.16)
We all can witness how the Western moralist & human rights balloon has exploded in their faces. We can all witness how Syrian a.o. fugitives are being treated in modern concentration camps in the EU, how Gipsys are being dragged out and thrown out of France, how 'deals' are made with devils, how immigrant homes are being set on fire and are being 'schlepped around' from country to country from camp to camp and in some cases being thrown back into Syria by 'Humanist Erdogan, etc.etc.etc. That's why the so called moralists & human rights groups need Israel, the Jewish scapegoat, for their humanity, dignity & morality cover has been blown apart as soon as the fugitives have been blown out of their houses & countries! The 'worried Democrats better start investigating Nato after they 'accidently blow patients out of their hospital beds and accidently take doctors with them. These are the cases we know of. The many case we don't know anything about have not come to light.......yet! The 'worried senators better start investigate them!
12. He is a Catholic
K ,   US   (04.02.16)
Catholics have it in their blood to want to see the Jews killed and make up lies about the Jews in any chance they have
13. Israel owes no apology for killing our mortal foes!
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.02.16)
If Israel is foolish enough to persecute her own patriotic soldiers for killing murderous "Palestinians"; how can we expect support from others? It is pointless to complain about Leahey and other hateful critics, when Israel mistreats our soldiers and undermines our cause. Israel needs to stand proud. "Palestinians" are our mortal foes. They murder and maim us every chance they get. The duty of Israeli soldiers is to protect Israel; which means killing threatening "Palestinians". Israel owes no apology for killing our mortal foes. Israeli soldiers who do so should be rewarded. Not persecuted. Stop the insanity!
14. Polls are cooked
Carol ,   NYC   (04.02.16)
"While Israel has been reveling in polls which continue to show that the American public generally supports Israel," Polling companies are managed and staffed by mostly Jews who cook the numbers. No one believes the polls.

Benji ,   US   (04.02.16)
The worm will leave office in January. Leahey is his lapdog. He'd probably call for an investigation of US troops if Obama or Pro-Palestinian Amnesty International told him to. Leahey is another political embarrassment. Silence of the spam while Palestinians terrorize Israel.
16. Sure, but also BDS is having an effect
Gal   (04.03.16)
and Israel,s years of neglecting US campus work, leaving the field open to Saudi agents, comes to its bad fruition.
17. Leahy & his 10 flunkies!= Arab$$$$
Benny ,   Iraq   (04.02.16)
Just like Jimmy Carter, Martin Indyk ,etc Leahy & his co-horts are Anti-Semites bought up by Arab Oil. They sold their souls To Islam terror for money. The Pals celebrated & honked horns & gave out candy during the 9/11 Muslim attack. One day, Leahy & his band will also get bitten in the ass by Muslim radicals!

C   (04.03.16)
there is no leahy law yet. nor will the law pass. any attempt to stop military assistance to the state of israel would have dire consequences. obama has already lost allies. the united states cannot efford to lose more allies, especially given that obama has destroyed the american military and members of said military are forced to walk around in uniforms with high red heeled women's shoes. the gross attempt by obama to humiliate members of the armed forces will not be forgotten.
20. 18 thank you

21. This Dem never trusted Leahy of the Irish Catholics
Dina   (04.13.16)
