1. Without Israel

Egypt would have taken over Saudi Arabia long ago. Look at a map.
2. spineless
jay   (05.28.17)
whether with john kerry or now trump, netanyahu is utterly spineless. he gets the white concession flag-transfer parts of area c to b, more entry permits, more guns for abbas security forces, without getting any meaningful concessions for israel from abbas.
so why does he do it? He was shot twice as a commando, one allegedly lying helpless in egyptian waters. it seems he never overcame his fears. he is no leader as shapira described as half asleep in the gaza war. now he ewants to bring in hezog who evern labour is dying to get rid of. he wants to offset in case bennett leaves.

egypt made a cold peace with begin, not rabin, not meir, not eshkol. so when israel asserts itself, the enemies take note.

bibi is one of the weakest leaders israel has had, he radiates and projects his own fears. his peace proposals will damage israre.
3. Nohing worse than "peace treaty with Palestinians"
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.29.17)
Nothing worse could happen to Israel than a "peace treaty with Palestinians". It would cost Israel Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem, freedom from constant rocket attacks, freedom from constant terror, freedom from being inundated by hostile Arabs and our viability as a state. Israel would be reduced to a 9 mile wide concentration camp. All for the sake of a worthless piece of paper signed by terrorists!!!

Israel is INFINITELY better off right now than with a "peace treaty with Palestinians". Had we not allowed the lunatic Labor Party to rescue the terrorist PLO during Oslo, Israel would now be enjoying our third decade of permanent peace.

Just as the Allies' resounding victory brought permanent peace to most of Europe and Asia after WW II, resounding Israeli victory will bring us permanent peace. Just let evil fictional "Palestine" fall!
4. BUT there are those outside of Saudi Arabia , across an ocea
observerms ,   Tivon, Israel   (05.29.17)
"One day of warfare and Egypt is bankrupt "...but it would easily defeat Saudi
Arabia...using Saudi oil to restore its finances...BUT there are those outside of Saudi Arabia , across an ocean, that would not allow such an outcome!

Sure beats any concessions from Israel who now faces ISIS as a shoe in if Israel does meet NY hillbilly Trumps unrealistic demands.

8. How about this?
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (06.27.17)
Arabs to Arabia and Jews own all of Israel?
Sounds good to me.
Trump promised to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem and sold that promise for some Saudi shell game of buying US weapons.
Not cool, some things aren't for sale.
KEEP BUILDING !!!
9. I doubt either Egypt or Arabia
BBB   (06.27.17)

11. Is "NO" a concession?
BBB   (06.27.17)
Israel isn't giving even a drop of sweat to any Muslim nation.
Poor Trump he's forgotten his one broken promise to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem
He reminds me of the saying and song,
" Fools rush in."
KEEP BUILDING !!
