1. Erdan sabotages himself
Shalom ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.02.18)
Anyone sane in the settlement movement should endorse this article. A year ago, Netanyahu achieved a government decision to focus future building on the existing settlements, but to build there according to need. This is as much as the Trump administration will tolerate without making a big fuss, whereas the Obama administration screamed at any building. So it is a significant strategic achievement for the long term. Erdan's sponsorship of the wild Likud Central Committee motion shows that he lacks strategic vision; his irresponsibility has sabotaged his own credentials to lead either the party or a future government.
2. Enough distortions - Rabin lefti said no Palestinian state

3. Be honest. This tiny land is ours & "Palestine" is fictional
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.02.18)
Honesty is the best policy. So is self respect. Israel accomplishes nothing by pretending we will allow a new "Palestinian" terrorist state in the heart of our sole tiny Homeland.

People naturally respect honest, self respecting people and nations. Likud is 100% correct to stand up for the eternal rights of the Jewish people, and abide by its Constitution. BDSers, Neo Nazis and terrorists will always hate Israel because we are Jewish. Period.

Israel can easily prove, to the satisfaction of any person of good will, that this tiny land is ours, and that "Palestine" is a hoax. That is what we need o do. It is way past time to stop paying homage to the evil fiction of "Palestine".
4. Huh?!
Adele Franklin ,   Haifa   (01.02.18)
"The thing is we don’t need the American administration, or a peace process which we have lost track of, to know what’s good for Israel."

OK, the part about us losing track of the peace process...uh, what peace process? You mean all those stops and starts until every Israel government official with a clue caught on and realized it was all a complete waste of time? First Arafat, then Abbas. Both wanted Israel wiped off the map. There is no reason to expect anyone who comes after Abbas to be any different.
5. Real Estate bubble inside Green Line keeps prices HIGH!
Sarita Montiel ,   Israel   (01.02.18)
there is a co-relation...Netanyahu's government is forcing people to buy cheap housing in the West Bank because they can't afford to buy inside Israel.
What we have is a bunch of economic refugees in the West Bank...people no longer care about ideology.
SO, the Likud comes along to remind everyone that this is about IDEOLOGY and not about economics.
At some point we'll all wake up and realize we've been had!
6. foolish or author's arrogance
(01.02.18)
Anti -boycott organizations are irrelevant NOW, as Arab game is fading, all the rest are spasms of virtual reality created by lies, theft identity and history as
the big earth quack of Arab World is approaching.
7. More nonsense...
yosef   (01.02.18)
More senseless yakety-yak for its sake...
8. dumb as a box of rocks

9. Cowards
Daniel Ben-Hillel ,   Kyriat Yam   (01.03.18)
That is what we would have done in 67 was it not by generals afraid of Jewishness.
Today we still have people like the author who think just about "the world" and not about Israel!
Man, the world hates you, haven't you noticed that???
10. Change of surname
D ,   Uk   (01.09.18)
Surely Mr Ben Dror Yemini should consider a name change to
Ben Dror Smolani!?
