1. AINT THAT THE TRUTH...
VLADIMIR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (03.17.18)
You can be absolutely certain than Britain would never pick a fight with a foreign power just to please Israel , so why should Israel stick its neck out ?
2. What has Britain done for Israel lately?
THEODORE HURTSEL ,   SAFED HONESTY   (03.17.18)
When was the last time the United Kingdom " stuck its neck out " and did something nice for Israel ??
3. If the shoe was on the other foot
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (03.17.18)
Had someone been attacked with a nerve agent inside Israel ,would Britain have risked damaging its relations with Russia just in order to be nice towards Israel ??? we all know the answer to that one.....
4. BRITAIN MUST UNDERSTAND
HENRY PISSINGER ,   SAFED DIPLOMAT   (03.17.18)
I hope that Britain understands that Israel must be careful not to damage its hard-fought-for relations with Russia and can simply not afford to get on the wrong side of the russians .And the same applies to many other countries, including those in Europe and also to the United States too. A significant segment of israels' population is of russian origin and Israel should maintain good relations with russia.
5. TRIANGLE
STIGMUND FREUD ,   SAFED GENIUS   (03.17.18)
Russia should aim to have good relations with Britain and Israel. Britain should aim to have good relations with Russia and Israel and Israel should aim to have good relations with Britain and Russia. All three sides of the triangle will only benefit from this.
6. CONFUCIUS SAYS:
CONFUCIUS ,   SAFED CHINA   (03.17.18)
Do unto others the same as they would do unto you....
7. THE ROOT OF THE ISSUE
STIGMUND FREUD ,   SAFED GENIUS   (03.17.18)
EGO.......the British ego has been rocked by this recent incident with the poisoned russian which took place on british soil ,in a quite sleepy unremarkable english town. This has made the british feel vulnerable, and justifiably so. Any state would feel violated by such an event ,that is perfectly understandable.
It is a perhaps unfortunate yet at the same time real aspect of the human condition that we are all vulnerable, all humans and all states are vulnerable. Only our holy creator, in his infinite wisdom ,is less vulnerable.
No nation-state wishes to feel violated by unknown persons acting in its territory .
8. Russia is the Nazi Germany of our time, and Iran is its ally
Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (03.18.18)
Russia in coordination with Iran and the West is carrying out a real holocaust in Syria. Over a million Syrian civilians have so far been incinerated by Russia's bombs. And Israel, which raised the slogan of "never again" is watching gleefully while maintaining a spirit of friendship with Putin, the Adolf Hitler of our era. Doesn't this underscore the corruption and degeneration of our time?
9. I DON'T CARE
VLADIMIR BOOTIN ,   RUSSIA   (03.18.18)
10. We're doing absolutely the right thing. Unless someone gets
(03.18.18)
wiser and "retires" Vlad, he should be sought out as an ally, as long as his Empire of Drunkards wields a club over the impotent West!
11. When the Saints Go Marching In
Rotem Adler ,   Paris - France   (03.18.18)
It is necessary to recognize that Russians, when they want, are exquisitely educated. I am a great admirer of the Great Mother Russia, as represented in the formidable memorial of Volvogrado, and also of St Michael, her archangel protector, who not coincidentally is also the great protector of Israel.

I find it regrettable that the USA, Russia, UK and Israel, together with China, the 5 nations on which the balance of the planet will depend, are facing each other because national prides have become the protagonists of a minor incident.

Of the five great powers mentioned there is one that goes through an existential crisis, and I'm referring to the United Kingdom. In the manner of prince Hamlet, with her own skull in her hands, she is philosophizing about Being and Not Being, as well as about What To Do and Who To Be With. Of the five she is the only one who, having an imperial future ahead of her, for not seeing it clearly, could spoil it, and instead of being a proud mistress, become a humble servant. Hence her susceptibility. Staying on time, although not much, she has the right to ask questions and get answers. At the end of the day, moments like this are very interesting and realizing.

Please, be polite and do not push her too hard.
12. Jerusalem is one and united
C   (03.18.18)
jerusalem has been a jewish city for three thousand years.
attempts to blackmail the jewish state of israel will backfire.
13. novichok
(03.18.18)
novichok is an extremely deadly weapons-grade nerve agent developed
in the soviet union.
it is a binary agent, meaning that it is made up of two different agents
that are mixed just before use.
as separate agents, they are not nearly as powerful as novichok.
the poison used in the uk was most likely mixed just before
it was used.
it makes no sense for the propagandists to try to lie about this
event. western intelligence agencies are not fools. the uk
identified the agent used almost as soon as the victims were
admitted to hospital. they would not be alive otherwise since
the anti-terror people would not have known what antidote
to use.
the use of weapons-grade nerve agents to murder opponents
is totally unacceptable.
14. mr
STEVE GURE   (03.18.18)
England never backed Israel for anything.
15. "west Jerusalem"? Putin spitting on Bibis face
Avi L.   (03.18.18)
After the "russian Jews" who could have used nerve gas in the UK Putin adds offence to injury using the words "west Jerusae"

"Special friends"? Right

Europe wn't do anything because Putin can close the gas pipe, Israel neither because he controls Syria's skies.

Donald? he is only tweeting
16. Jerusalem had been an Arab Cananite town long before Solomon
Amram Cohen ,   Tel Aviv   (03.18.18)
Malik AS-sdeq was an Arab king as his name indicates. that man predated Abraham. Hence, the claim that Jerusalem was Jewish is a lie and myth.

17. Russian comment
Arnie ,   Montreal   (03.18.18)
What pisses me off is Russia’s mention of West Jerusalem rather than just plain Jerusalem.
18. NOVICHOK
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (03.18.18)
Sounds like something Chuck Norris or Bruce leewould have used.....
