1. Trump’s plan
Arnie ,   Montreal   (01.28.18)
Knowing Trump over the last 10 and this last 1 year as President.... I have no idea what is coming down his version of the
“road map”
2. Netanyahu may win but his cannon fodder will die!
we the cannon fodder ,   Israel   (01.28.18)
3. Netanyahu wins very nice, what about Israel? do we win 2?
(01.28.18)
4. Radical Leftist Apfel sounds desperate that Oslo is falling
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (01.29.18)
5. Despite his considerable achievements as our PM, should
(01.29.18)
Netanyahu indeed create terror next door in form of ANY "Pali"-quasi-state, all the good stuff shall be forgotten and like Sharon, he shall go down in history as one of our most hated leaders, (just like St. Itzhak)!
6. The end of the outrageous Arab mythology
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (01.29.18)
No more bantering to the tail that wags the dog
Everyone will be a winner when UNWRA is normalized into UNRA and the outrageous “divine right of return “ evaporated and the Arabs finally become accountable for their own actions
All Abas needs to do this is to get his loyal die hard EU supporters to put their money where their mouth is - which is not going to happen
7. It's cute that people still think Trump has a plan
Sam ,   Tel Aviv   (01.29.18)
or has thought anything through.
8. Apfel's felicitious formulation
Shalom ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.29.18)
Trump's original idea was to say to all the world's posturing politicians: "Let's end the ridiculous refusal to acknowledge that Israel's capital lies in Jerusalem, because if we insist on talking nonsense about this how can we talk sense about anything else?"Inadvertently, thanks to the apoplectic hyperactive reactions of Abbas, Trump revealed to the world a much greater nonsense. In Apfel's happy formulation: "Mahmoud Abbas simply does not want a two-state solution, especially not one that would deprive either him or his successor of the ability to finish unsettled business at a later date with the Palestinians’ new sandwiched neighbor, Israel."The third nonsense, evident to businessman Trump, is that you do not make a down payment on a deal that someone else has no intention of closing. So something else to which all other world leaders are blind is self-evident to Trump: don't give financial aid to a Palestinian regime that will never accept an end to hostilities with Israel.
9. Trump's on the right side of history.
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (01.29.18)
He maneuvered the deal of the century, the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capitol.
The Jerusalem Embassy Act was passed in 1995 by the 104th Congress.
Trump was the only American President with the courage to finalize this law.

Now, let he pals rent their clothes and throw on some sack cloth and ashes.
As Trump removes their money as well as their false claim in an inch of Israel.

LOVE THIS GUY!!
10. # 7 cute?
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (01.29.18)
Cuter still is the stock market, unemployment rate, bonuses for so many Americans plus pay raises.
Real CUTE!
Don't underestimate Trump, he wiped the floor with criminal "lock her up"Frau Clinton.
Cute? my tuchas.
11. Steve re: that $40 billion piggy bank
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (01.29.18)
good for them now, let them actually spend some of that cash on their purposefully deprived captives.
Oops, I forgot, charity isn't a part of the PA charter.
12. # 5 No name
(01.29.18)
Is that the explanation of why Netanyahu was elected more times than any other PM?
If so, its pretty lame.
13. # 1 Arnie so, Trump should call you?
BUILD BABY BUILD !!   (01.29.18)
Maybe Trumps paving a new road?
Hang on, it's going to be a wild ride.
14. "Palestine" is vanquished. Abbas should be executed
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.29.18)
Israel vanquished evil fictional "Palestine" long ago. All our problems with "Palestine" stem from our failure to impose our will on our vanquished mortal foes. Israel need to stop being the only nation in history to beg and bribe its vanquished foes to talk peace. We need to take lessons from Russia and China about how to treat vanquished foes.

Abbas is the sadistic mass murdering terrorist monster behind the Munich Massacre and many other massacres of Jews. Israel should have executed him, like Eichmann, decades ago.
