1. Seriously: there should be a penalty by law, for what our
(12.26.16)
members of journalist & media group are allowing themselves to state openly. In the old days that would've amounted to simple treason.
2. Fascist idiots rely on each other
Dan   (12.26.16)
Netanyahu thinks Trump will save Israel from the consequences of his irresponsible, foolish and nationally suicidal policies. Wrong. If Israel wishes to survive (and this is not clear) it must abandon the settlers while maintaining the military occupation, until there is a credible treaty. The world must be shown that the occupation is not about grabbing territory or Leibensraum, but about security, and that Arab terror, which will no doubt continue, is not about resistance to settlement but about rejection of the Jewish state. Then Israel can start to regain respect and legitimacy, and once more find the support it will need when its enemies make their next attempt at annihilation.
3. Barnea uses arguments of his Ghetto ancestors ,appointed

to explain to infidel Jews this or that decree of His Excelency the Bishop.
"It's you fault!! " in short
4. last minute antics from a dying administration
Cameron   (12.26.16)
The Trump years are on the verge of formally beginning.

Very little importance or role for UN drama in the Trump era.
5. To FORCE Israel to return ALL stolen land to its OWNERS and
ironbutterfly ,   israel   (12.26.16)
UN should not only to force israel to return ALL the land stolen from Palestinian owners since 1967, but also to compensate every owner for all the years.
Also to show Israel where its real place is.
6. Israel is temporarily reaping the crap Obama has sewn
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.25.16)
Leave it to Barnea, and his fellow leftist numb skulls, to blame Bibi for overwhelming hatred of the Obama administration. As Republican, and more than a few Democrats, recently noted, the Obama administration has been hostile to Israel from the start. The despicable U.N. Resolution is simply the last hateful act of the soon gone administration. Israel is temporarily reaping the crap Obama has sewn, and the nightmare will soon end.
7. Netanyahu can blame Senegal & New Zealand... but he &
Rafi ,   US   (12.26.16)
his Likud right-wing allies are those ultimately responsible for the setbacks befalling Israel. Their hands are far from clean... so spare us playing the role of "victim".

The latest UN setback only matches Netanyahu's other diplomatic "successes"... notably the Iran nuclear deal and its aftermath.

The bottom line is that the man had NO credibility internationally .
8. Obama's self obesession is permanent
C   (12.25.16)
the israeli left will keep supporting obama regardless of his evil intents.

they will continue to blame netanyahu for the iran deal, for the lowering
of us military assistance to israel, for the present unsc resolution.

the truth is that obama is a pseudo-marxist who hates israel and supports
the arab palestinians and muslim causes.

obama decided to withhold the american veto without telling members
of his own administration with four exceptions: biden, kerry, powers,
rhodes.
obama hid his intentions from the us congress.
the man is an autocrat and there is nothing that netanyahu could
have done to change the outcome.


9. Mr Barnea concern noted time for solution for next 30 days
Martin SA   (12.26.16)
Let say some even much of what you is constructive. Fact is we need to propose solutions having spent years as a left wing critic. Trump as Obama himself is being tied up in knotts and is Eretz Yisrael What do you propose constructively now to block furhter moves infered by Obama. My proposal is PLAN B # plan c prepare or present our final staus proposal to counter the one Kerry is about to put on the table officially and presumably already been circulated to all 15 member of UNSC etc. We need to counter the Power stuttered when justifying her non-vote as portraying the view of all of the US BIG Lie So the our proposal to be adopted by a full house of the Senate and Congress so clearly she cannot and must lie and get away with it.

"In 2007, Barnea was criticized for defending former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert while he was being investigated on suspicions of corruption. Independent journalist Yoav Yitzhak claimed that Barnea did not shy away from publishing statements he knew were untrue."
The above sums up the lack of credibility, poitical morality and undestanding of a very mediocre hack...best to ignore and wonder why Ynet gave him editorial space.
13. Time for leadership and solutions and recognising the shame
Martin SA   (12.26.16)
of the 15 members of the UNSC Correction she must not lie and get away with it We are pre-occupied throwing toys out the cott leave that when Trump is now we a job to do The Obama strategy has been on the cards ever since trump defeated Hillary despite his support. tThe Amona event and the proposed regulation law would not have changed this its been on the cards for months Lieberman is pannicking about Paris Mean while Mass murder and its co-ordinator is head of the fallies can contemplate taking us to the Hague Let him stand first and see if he clears his dastidly actions of malicious killing and body dimemberment and castrations of some of the 22 to 24 Jewish victims. Voters should hang there heads in shame for ignoring the murderous deeds of the PA Leader to boot. Condoning murder is shameful Recuse yourselves before you are judged by the Heavenly Court
14. What Rubish - there's no such thing as a
MadDad ,   Johannesburg RSA   (12.26.16)
There is no such thing as a dangerous knife.
It is only the person that wields the knife or the man that pulls the trigger of a gun that is dangerous.
There is no absolution of guilt and culpability by declaring - look what you made me do
It is known for months that this is what Obama was going to do - whether or not anyone abandond all Israels claim to Judea and Samaria - Obama did what Obama does - a dangerous man playing well above his capabilities
And desperate at that - with 11th hour manouvers behind everyone's back
15. Gaza proved it all
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (12.26.16)
And when someone asked Chacques Cheraq what should be done now that Hamas was attacking Israel - his answer was - shit happens
16. The one and only G-d of Israel
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (12.27.16)
called on Israel as his chosen people.
Nothing, including nations, evil powers, natural or man made disasters can change his will or his preference.
Even with obama's treachery, and with all the nations against Israel for just being born Jewish, can't change what his will it shall be done.
BUILD EVERY INCH !!!
17. # 8 C
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (12.27.16)
you neglected to mention that obama is a Muslim Manchurian candidate who is undoubtedly the worst POTUS ever.
18. # 5 lol best laugh of the day!
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (12.27.16)
Better yet, move all the Arab pals back to Arabia.
Never was or will be a "palestine.'
19. # 4 May not be a UN under Trump.
BUIDL BABY BUILD !!   (12.27.16)
He may close the UN atrocity down and sell the building with his name on it for good luck.
20. Lets face it...The United States Jewish Community
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (12.26.16)
backed a lame Horse.
Obama being the Horse.
21. Obama acknowledges the obvious
Glenn Becker ,   Sausalito, Californi   (12.27.16)
All of Israel knows Netanyahu is lying about two states, but is dedicated instead to permanent Israeli occupation on the West Bank. Why should not the American President acknowledge what everyone else knows?
22. WELL WELL NAHUM...
FO ,   Belgium   (12.27.16)
You can barely hide your satisfaction with what happened. But I have rather bad news for you. As one of your colleagues pointed out, the recent UNSC Resolution can't be rescinded. I admit this is indeed the case. But you, Nahum Barnea, as a seasoned journalist, you can't ignore, although it's a bone stuck in your throat, that some previous resolutions cannot be rescinded either, namely the San Remo and the League of Nations' Resolution, The Mandate for Palestine. And you know, dear Nahum, what could happen in a legal case? That all UNGA and UNSC anti-Israeli resolutions concerning "occupation" and "colonization" could be declared ILLEGAL, including of course last Friday's one, based on the principle called in French "La Chose Jugée". What a drama it would be for you and your alike. Isn’t it?
23. Sooner Or Later It Was Going To Happen
World Citizen ,   the world   (12.27.16)
Netanyahu and his gang of thugs has done about all one could do to paint Israel into a corner. Even American Jews are sick of their crimes. Expect more resolutions and even sanctions.
