5. putin is a russian first

putin cares about russia and money and that is it. he would sell out israel iin a second for cash deals. so you can figure some of his big missiles will make their way to hezbollah which is dangerous. israel has to start thinking of preemption first.

a second point arising out of isreali judicial rulings. the courts want israle to fight cleanly and proportionally. israel cannot survive this way. hezbollah and syria fight dirty. the nazis were defeated with dirty tactics. israell has got to be able to unleash its force, keep the press away and let loose without fear of btselem or goldstone inquistions and icc moves against it.

the idf has got to start using intimidation tactics. rules of war must be followed but against asymmetric enemies, israel has to use asymmetric methods. yaalon and barak can talk all they want about most moral army and righteous values but that is likely to get 6.6 million Israelis killed. wake up and know what the hell is going on her.

look at the map of israei judea and samaria. 2 peoples and 2 states cannot be within this geography. the land mass of jordan, the original mandate arbitrarily given by churchill to the familiy of abdullah was illegal. this land mass is enough for 2 states. so it should be part of any new discussions to be divided up into a pal state and israeli state.

cold peace will come when landconcessions are made to israel and when arabs know that israel is the boss of its land, no ifs ands or buts, no shared jurdisdiction,no stupid olmert international committes.

as for ehud barak and labour's herzog, look at the latest polls. israelis are sick of the 2 of them, they are right at the bottom of the polls-barak for his anemic response to terror when he was pm,and herzog for his constant willingness to give away what john kerry advocated in his speech. the 2 of them have no political future-none whatsoever.

barak can fix a watch very well-good- he did not fight terror with force and underequppied the marmora commandos getting some of them seriously wounded.


6. Putin knows better than to mess with Israel
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (01.07.17)
Missiles or no missiles, should it decide to do so Israel has the ability to wipe out the entire Russian force in Syria in 2 hours and the Syrian airforce as a bonus.

It is not in Israel's interest to do this yet because Russians and Arabs are bleeding and weakening common enemies. In the meantime both Syrian military and Russian military and Turkish military are being decimated too which works in Israel's favor.
7. interesting but...
Adler J   (01.07.17)
if the Eros B satellite operated by the Israel
based ImageSat International was launched on
the Russian Start1 from Russia, and considering
russian talented hackers how do you know those satellite
images are not fake? Did Israel used the Eros B satellite
to detect Gazan tunnels during 2014?




8. # 1 Paul good to see Syria can't end her own war on her
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (01.07.17)
