1. yet Putin voted against Israel at the UNSC
C   (12.27.16)
putin is not an ally of israel, no matter what some say.

putin is for putin.

the incoming trump administration should keep this in
mind while they negotiate with him.
2. lapid can go to hell with his comments
manny   (12.27.16)
the UN and lapid can go to hell with their opinions and comments. lapids fahter, an olmert crony allegedly persuaded sharon to pull out of gaza unilaterally. thanks for 10,000 rockets you imbecile.

as for the Un official-ygo to obama with your complaints that sirael did not vote on this one. to hell with you and obama. bibi made the right decision regardless of pressure from russia.

3. A good place to start...

Is with the executions of syrian officers that refused to kill civilian protesters.
That period at the start of syrian civil war is the precursor of all that followed. In hind sight it was a cynically calculated move on the part of the syrian ba'athists to escalate the situation to fit the narrative of 'they are all terrorists' when in fact it was a ploy just to hold onto power at best and at worst the excuse to reshape syrian society free of sunni majority more aligned towards iran.
4. Israel commits war crimes in Syria together with USA
ironbutterfly ,   israel   (12.28.16)
Israel as an American PUPPET follows directions given by its handlers in the White House - to bomb Syrian army and Aleppo. Unfortunately for US, they are loosing in Syria like everywhere else, thanks to Putin. Israel is the least important member in UN, and what israel is trying to do sounds and looks like a supreme form of idiocy. Israel's real place is not under the sun, but always be under the clouds.
5. Interesting Russian double standards
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv   (12.28.16)
So Russia can vote against Israel with an anti-Israeli resolution at the UN Security Council condemning Israel's right to build private homes and cities in Judea and Samaria where Jews have lived for 4000 years, and indeed for thousands of years long before Russia and white Christian Europe even existed, but Israel cannot vote against Russian war crimes in Syria.

So in other words Israel cannot build cities and homes in its own historical homeland - in which we Jews have lived for the past 4000 years (confirmed by at least 10-15 ancient Mid Eastern and Mediterranean civilizations), but Russians can violate another country's independence (Syria), carry out military operations far away from home, and bombard Syria and turn Syrian cities into a heap of rubble?

Interesting. Very interesting. It's time to dismantle the UN.

In all fairness: If Russia votes against Israel, why shouldn't Israel be able to vote against Russia? I thought all people are equal?
6. i am ashamed
ian ,   raanna   (12.27.16)
I am ashamed, been in Israel since 1974 bibi has succeeded in making me ashamed , I am sure he sleeps well at night. but today I see not difference between .Greece and Israel.
HE has successful killed jewish values and morals and made a pact with the devil wthat is Putin. My family that began to come to Aretz Israel over 100 years ago would turnover in the gave. Well done bidi the emperor that emptied Israel of its jewish values and morals.
BooBibi
7. lets be politcally correct as lapid says
ed   (12.28.16)
lapid, a press officer and journalist who never did combat smilar to oren, according to resports-olmert, oren, haber, livni, peres, even to herzog- a desk officer says we should be politically proper, explain our position and not to freak out. but basically go kiss american and europea ass.


bibi, no great soldier but volunteered for combat and did some and gave blood as a result protested and called the yes vote counntries and gave reprimands as he should have. lapid wants to go along with the countries who stabbed israel in the back. incidently, putin also stabbed israel in the back but he winks when he did it and basically told israel not to worry and to do what the hell it wants.

so to be like lapid, I say cleary to france, spain, and england- go f*ck yourselves. you will get no help on security, cyber and i ntelligence matters from hereon.

as for yadlin, confine your advice to pilots, air force officers know little about ground warfare as halutz proved. we are not interested in y our anemic advice.


since rabin, israel has been making concessions and keeps getting pelted with more condemnation and resolutions. enough of it.

no matter what obama says, he is a moslem in his bones, proarab which is his right, and did his people what he thought was good for them. the mistake he made though is to declare the western wall on occupied territory and to negate the history of jesus and christianity, he has stepped over the limit. and then he and kerry both wished israel happy hanukah,are they stupid?? Stick the knfe in and then say happy hannukah.


Israel has power and if it cannot enjoy its holiest place, no one will and we mean no one. there is nothing kerry, power and obama can do to redeem themselves. history will record their act for posterity and the 3 will be known as the most famous israel killers of all time. even if they say they erred with profuse apologies, they are now infamous killers of israel.
8. REALLY! ISRAEL TENDS TO THE WOUNDED ONLY.
IRANIAN JEW ,   LALA LAND   (12.28.16)
The wr was created wit your Saudis and Turks. As long as the Persian mulahs are kept away form her border, she does not care what Muslims do to each other.
