31. clickbait - 1st article total nonsense, 2nd article Yemini
(04.02.18)
Ynet seem to frequently write totally nonsense articles inciting lies and violence against Israel and Jews, than Yemini comes in a day later and adds a more factual critique of the subject in question (although more often than not with the delusional tint of leftie denial or reality). Either Ynet is doing this on purpose for clickbait or they are using this to seem more mainstream and not extreme left as their reporting usually is.
32. you just foundd this out ben droro
tim   (04.02.18)
you just figured out that Hamas is too blame?? What a schmuck. there is something wrong with these so called experts like indyk, friedman, kurtzer, ben dror, liel, dennis ross and so on. they live in an academic theoretical bubble. the re is no accommodating hamas or jihad. they have to be defeated period for israeli to survive and grow. this Israel does in spite of them.

most of these groups arose out of arabs being unable to defeat israel in general battle so they resorted to terror groups. and the arab world refuses to stop them much as the the parents refuse to rein their jihad kids.

ben dror is another flop.

what Israel has never done, I could be wrong is to broadcast 24/7 to the arab neighbors that jews were indigenous to the land, not conquerors, and that the romans and then arabs booted them from their homes. and it is the arabs who are sitting on Jewish land. give the arab masses some credit. educate them to the facts 24/7.

Spoken as only a crooked zionist can.
34. Israel is to blame for putting up with "Palestinian" B.S.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.03.18)
You can't blame "Palestinians" for walking all over Israel. Israel is to blame for lying down and letting our defeated mortal "Palestinian" foes have their way. If your enemy is dumb enough to lie down, why not walk all over them? It is easy to understand the "Palestinian" point of view.

If Israel simply treated "Palestinians" as a normal nation treats its defeated foes, "Palestinians" would have no power to hurt us. "Palestinians" hurt us because Israel empowers them to do so.

"Palestinians" keep maiming, murdering and harming us in every humanly possible way as they plot to mass murder us. Israel insanely responds by begging them to talk peace and showering them with food, money, materials, protection, electricity, work permits and other support. Israel is to blame for putting up with "Palestinian" B.S.


35. The definition of insanity is repeating the same act

expecting different results. Once the Pals in Gaza accept the fact that Israel is not their enemy, and that the last thing their leadership wants is welfare, prosperity and peaceful co-existance, they will rise up and shed the HAMAS boot from around their necks.
36. It's an IMAGE war, which needs an IMAGE defense.
Roberto Feldmann ,   Santiago, Chile.   (04.05.18)
it is a mistake to translate, transpose, carry over the propaganda war by Hamas squarely onto the realm of counter-terrorism, military and security by the IDF, Shin Bet and border police. While Israel excels at these, it's tempting to fail to see the true nature of a news-manipulation war. That 21st centtury war isn't some side effect of terrorism. It's the very nature of the war Palestinians and their legions of world anti-Semites are waging against Israel and world Jewry with this "march of return". It's not some luxury for which we don't have time or patience, to pay attention to the nature of this global assault. It's existentially necessary, and Israel is long overdue at internalizing it.

37. Just re-read this article
Bertram ,   London, UK.   (04.09.18)
It is thoughtful and balanced. I largely agree with the premise that Hamas, along with the past leadership of most of the neighbouring Arab world, hold a greater degree of responsibility for the fate of the Palestinians than Israel. Rejectionist ideology allows no room for debate or compromise. Ben-Dror highlights the past, often forced, migrations of peoples following wars and movements for national self-determination (the partition of India in 1947 is a prime example). It is time to stop this murderous choreography where each side participates in a macabre dance knowing the outcome in advance,
