5. It‘s a nice speech, but it‘s not true.
Rich ,   Toronto   (04.19.18)
The people of the Middle East are not celebrating Israel Independence. For them it has been only Hell. Israel has been no ‘Light unto the Nations‘ and no ‘Caretakers of G-d‘s creation.‘ In Israel‘s name, a few elite Jews have started wars for profit (destroyed the whole Middle East), plundered the planet of resources with capitalism, and with a corrupt financial system, have brought suffering and death to many around the world - including their own fellow Jews. The arrogance of the Zionist leadership will destroy Israel and all mankind. The burning of fossil fuels into the atmosphere is heating up the planet, altering the weather and causing sea level to rise. When there is no more food, water and sufficient air to breathe Israel will be finished along with the rest of the world. Great work!
6. Now Jews are back in Israel their majority will increase
lal ram ,   Wolverhampton, UK   (04.22.18)
Now the Jews are back in the promised land, the land G-d gave them as an eternal inheritance, they will be fruitful and multiply, the desert is blooming, they are back in Israel, no one can uproot them. Whether it's Iran or Palestinians, Turks, Arabs, Russia or any other nation. Blessed be the G-d of our forefathers Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David. Blessed be Bibi, he is a like a lion who shuts the mouth of his enemies. No weapon formed against Israel will prosper, the Almighty is Israel's shield and banner, and May G-d bless Jerusalem the eternal capital of Israel. Build, build my brethren, the land of our forefathers, do not give an inch of the promised land, it is none negotiable. Shalom to all my brethren's, 70 glorious years of independence and freedom.
7. What a joke were back to pre 1948 ghetto borders
OurPenthouse"Leaders ,   Jerusalem Israel   (04.26.18)
we've lost the Negev most of Western Galilee 50 years of Israeli
presence and their are almost no Jews in the ancient historic
parts of eastern Jerusalem Arab gangs raid farmers protection
money paid to them almost 50% of the population lives along
the "Golden Ghetto Coastal Area of Tel Aviv" in ever
higher and higher monstrous luxury high rise buildings
Half the population wants no connection to Jewish Civilization
religion or culture Rivlin while in Jerusalem was responsible with others to our losing the demographic battle for the city. At best what
has been created is just one more tragic temporary
ghetto for the Jewish People. Fratricide Corruption suicidal Judicial
Western Cultural "pilpul" revolving around "Human Rights" while
living in a Middle Eastern barbaric jungle
and public indifference have brought about this nightmare and to its credit the Post Zionist Leftist dominated media allowed to run wild has
predicted this outcome . Betrayed, the Jewish People have
been betrayed by their "leaders"
