1. WRONG
DSM ,   USA   (05.25.18)
Israel, being a Jewish state, will never win in the international arena. Israel's job is to protect her people and if that means winning the battle in Gaza that should be a priority.
2. Shlomo (Trump) Puterkovsky and his fake news
Stan ,   Israel   (05.25.18)
He claims that Moti Yogev and Aryeh Eldad were wounded by the police during the evacuation of Amona (an illegal settlement)

It is well known that Israel's messianic settlers never go quietly when told to do so by the government or by a court order. They always have to be removed by the army or the police.
I could find no reference to the wounding of the two mentioned above. (Also not for Meni Naftali.)
During the evacuation of Amona 60 policemen were wounded, 42 of them on the last day when 100 people had to be removed from the synagogue where they were barricaded. In addition to the 42 policemen, 15 civilians were also hospitalized. They were treated for frostbite,bruising, weakness dehydration and one scorpion sting. (This report from channel 24)
When police have to pull and lift people to remove them bruising can occur, but this is not excess police violence.
PS In the past we called fake news - Lies.
3. it is not a war, it is lawful redress....They want justice

4. Strategy
A Simple Jew ,   Beer Sheva   (05.25.18)
Good article re: PA objectives. Response; Tell ICC that the arrest of an Israeli official on trumped up war-crimes charges constitutes an act of war by the arresting country. Tell the EU and ICC that the Mossad will deal with any arrests of Israelis.

Also, Lawfare works two ways, meaning arrest and try PA leaders for the murder of Jews. Abbas funded the Munich massacre, so punish him for it. Other top PA leaders have equally henious records. Let the wheels of justice start grinding.

I recognize your pain and can empathize with it. The problem is, I believe,that you do not fully understand the situation.

Almost 60 years ago when the Blacks in the southern states struggled to achieve human rights they were strongly supported by American Jews.

During the same period, non-whites in South Africa were also in a struggle to achieve equality. They first tried by political means, and when that did not work they turned to violence.
SA was strongly criticized and condemned at the UN for years. In 1962, Golda Meir voted in favor of the condemnation saying that " ... her Jewish Moral Values led her to vote that way"
Those same moral values are why Jews in US and SA helped the Blacks in those countries, and why some of them were killed for these efforts by the authorities both in SA and US.
Nations have always fought for their independence from colonialists and occupiers. The Palestinians too are struggling to achieve an independent state alongside Israel. [Those who are listening to Pal extremists should also hear what Jewish extremists are saying]
As a Zionist, I want Israel to continue to exist. I believe that that despite the enormous economic and intellectual efforts being made by my govt. to defeat BDS, eventually Israel will have to comply with the demands of the vast majority at the UN.
SA was not hated by the UN. Her racist policies were anathema to everyone and that is why Apartheid had to end.
Despite the fact that there are anti-Semites, no country at the UN hates Israel. The occupation is unacceptable (even to Trump's US) and must end to improve life for all of us living here.

PS If you think that Iran, Turkey and other Muslims hate Israel, see how the situation will have changed a few years after a Pal state comes into existence.
6. Israel uses ICC to sue terrorists...
(05.25.18)
...so naturally the Palestinian Authority is using the same tool right back at Israel.
Thing is if Israel declares the ICC as an enemy then where will it take her international claims to?
7. Israel limiting itself old methods of communication...
(05.25.18)
Israel needs to rethink its public relations efforts and its media tools.
At this time Israel is using outdated methods of communication and the PA is update and in our face with up to the minute public relations models.

I am wondering does the fact that Israel has a prime minister who thinks he's a media genius help or hurt Israel?
8. as long as we keep fighting the last war...
(05.25.18)
we are not going to get very far.
International public relations is an art...in Israel most public relations people rely on tired old material to get them through.

A fresh creative outlook is needed.
9. When will Israel finally FIGHT back?
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.25.18)
Decade after decade, our mortal "Palestinian" foes make war on Israel. They maim us, murder us, demonize us, boycott us, engage in lawfare against us and harm us in every humanly possible way. Israel insanely responds by showering "Palestinians" with food, money, materials, electricity, work permits and other support, while begging them to talk to us. This is a totally one sided war. When will Israel finally FIGHT back?
10. Jews Fear... Demographic Terror, Legal Terror, Peace Terror
(05.26.18)
Peace Terror is where Arabs totally surrender to the "Jewish State" but refuse to leave.
11. "legal war"
C   (05.26.18)
so called legal war is an invention of european progressives.

legal war is inexistent without the kinectic war which wins wars
actually.
12. Cheeky, ungrateful West: we, the Jews practically INVENTED
(05.27.18)
their little insane world, including letter of law, (not to mention belief-system), now they dare to prosecute us for fictional transgressions the criminally insane Muslims are accusing us for?!
13. Legal war
Lal ram ,   Wolverhampton,UK   (05.27.18)
The terminology used by UNHRC, ICC and EU, is not appropriate, because all tthree of the above organisation are extremely biased against Jews, they oppress the rights of the Jewish people. These above entities are bastion of lies, corruption and oppression. Their justice is glorifying the Muslim lies and corruption, and distortion of the truth. The only reason why the above entities have not been able to annihilate the Jewish people is because of the Almighty God of israel and the universe, he totally holy, righteous, and protects the Jewish people. If you look at the legal systems, ethics and laws they are derived from the word of God, human legal system is corrupt because the Muslim people who use it are corrupt and evil. As a result you will not get fair balanced justice for Jews. God bless israel and Jerusalem the eternal capital of Israel. Shalom...Shabbat...amen and amen
14. Chaim brilliant analysis
lal ram ,   Wolverhampton, UK   (05.27.18)
Chaim sir you are a brilliant analyst, I am fan of yours, I read your comments with delight, they are well thought out and balanced. I don't like getting into arguments about people who send comments. Shalom shabbat. God bless you...amen and amen.
15. I wonder why we always seem to seek answers/solutions to
(05.29.18)
THEIR offensives, "initiatives" and never launch a battle to end this "Palestinians"-insanity?
16. Pure envy, that what's behind hate of "everything Jewish"
(05.29.18)
as evident in European/Western conduct.
As to Muslim Jew-hate, that's purely religious and just as impossible to eradicate.
We could try little bit harder though....don't you think?
Heaven will not help us, it never did.
