1. How could it be Israel fosters ghetto mentality ?
b   (01.31.17)
The author is presumably born in Israel,yet his thinking Is that of a Medieval Ghetto Jew
2. Trump won't fail
Jack   (01.31.17)
You are confused: The unstable tyrant with the mental capacity of a 6 years old left the White house on January 20.
We finally have a grown-up with managerial and analytical skills in the oval office, leading the USA back towards sanity and prosperity.
3. If Trump falls, Israel will to.
tiki ,   belgium   (01.31.17)
Presidents come and go and Israel has survived them all, even the most hostile ones.

One has to be an idiot not to sail the ship when the wind is blowing from your back.

The writer isn't taking into consideration that this president knows precisely what he's doing and will succeed in cleaning up the mess that the failed administration before him has left behind.

I think that Pres.Trump is the most underestimated person on the planet.

A president doing what he said he would do.....unheard of in these days.
4. this is true

do not go overboard on trump. He is motivated by money,power, and cutting deals. principles matter for not.one day he supports israel, the next day israel can go to hell. his hotels in the arab world are more important than israel.


bibi is wrong to overdepend on trump as livni and l apid were wrong to overdepend on obama. israel long ago should have addopted the levy report, argued its claim, educated the arab world through online, in scchool and satellite commmuciatios instead of stupidly narrowing its claim demands to the mpoint where its own existence pre67 is questionned.
5. Israeli Politicians join US shadows
Dan ,   K. Sava   (02.01.17)
Too many Israeli politicians jump to the idea they can join the US type of government.

Two term maximum, four year term of office, appoint supreme court justices are all fine when you have checks&balances and Congress can follow individual ideas and not a party line. Senators and congressmen do not need to have a party backing them. All offices in the US can be filled by a write-in candidate.

An Israeli politician even thinks there are only 2 political parties in the US - there are many more.

Even a thing like housing, when an Israeli politician wants to implement housing protection rent control, they bring up the NYC rent control, seemingly without reading the law and to whom it applies.

My suggestion, stop trying to imitate or blindly support the US. Israeli politicians have a choice, either close off the internet access or become an independent country.
6. Aviad Kleinberg...When Trump falls, Israel will suffer too
Lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (02.01.17)
Another commentator with wishfull thinking...on the contrary Trump with all his admitted faults is still far better than the nudge, nudge and wink wink of the 2 faced Obama.
With Trump you get what you see warts and all...honesty a very rare commodity in politics.
The assumption that he will be a one term President is an assumption too far and when the results over hopefully his 2 terms and how he has altered the phony promises of all those before him will cause a major shift hopefully and not just in the US but to a sea change amongst the other Democracies...the UK is already on that road of people power.
7. Support of Narcissism & Ego = Regret
sheldon ,   toronto   (02.01.17)
How True.

Is it not OBVIOUS that Trump will promise anything to anyone due to narcissism and ego? And in a maximum of 4 years, or earlier, Israel will have to deal with the world on its own - without the stable cooperation and support of the USA. and the new president elect. Shake your head people!!! Trump is in this for HIM!!.
8. It's a fresh breeze, but there are risks.
Michaerl ,   California, USA   (02.01.17)
Politicians should not stay for long, new and better politicians will follow. Trump is bringing new ideas and opening doors to new possibilities. Let's hope he will not make many mistakes. Israel should wait and see how well he performs. He may be worth gambling cautiously upon, slowly and wisely.
9. # 3 Tiki your right - right - right!!!
BUIDL BABY BUILD !!!   (02.02.17)
Trump's a real one of a kind, he says what he means and means what he says! Unheard of in any political, so far.
Hmm, maybe Trump will start a new fad?
10. # 2 Amen Jack Amen!!!
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (02.02.17)
And, I personally loves the fact that Trump pulled the plug on idiot obama's 'illegal tip' of $ 221 million dollars to terrorists pals.
Lovin' me some Trump! A real mensch.
KEEP BUILDING and
MOVE THE US EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM ASAP.
11. Have to laugh
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (02.02.17)
Seems the liberal media hasn't yet digested the fact they don't matter.
They bet on an old corrupted hag, Hillary and, they both went down in flames. Watch for Geo. Soros to soon realize he's being chased out of Europe by the same anti semitic crowd that like he, are losers and idiots.
It's s new day kiddos.
