1. Leftist and so-called centrist officers are de facto Nazis
Rafi Kahlani ,   Beer Shiva, Israel   (12.01.18)
for persecuting the Jewish inhabitants of Judea and Samaria and for preventing the settlers from getting the job done!
2. What a load of BS by the leftwing ‘Gedanken Polizei”
Daniel ,   TA - IL   (12.01.18)
THe writer will never leave an opportunity unnerved to silence public discourse on when it doesn’t fit his extremist and anti democratic leftwing views. Too sad for words but again a clear example of the leftwing elitist antisocial and tyrannical behaviour
3. The holder of the Ethrog Speaks
Zvi Lando   (12.01.18)
Ever since AA admitted that the media held Sharon "like an Ethrog", meaning they made sure to support him as long as he did the "right" things (ie .. what the Left wanted) - I have stopped reading the regular media in most cases. Especially when AA himself writes. Instead of being trashed and looking for a job that pays 4000 NIS a month, the "media" goes on as if nothing happened.
BTW - I didn't read this article. I couldn't care less what it says, or what AA thinks. I just came here to warn off the clueless, or those who didn't know.
4. "Quality commanders" have been replaced by left-totting
(12.01.18)
functionaries caring more about "what will the world say" than winning& defending us from Islamic Nazism!
THAT's the enemy from within....oh and the likes of Abramovich!
5. Israel's alt-right
Alexander Scheiner ,   Israel   (12.01.18)
I experience Israel’s right, namely the extreme right & super orthodox, with a view, which is very similar to the view of the current extreme right in Europe of Le Pen and the anti-Semitic Afd. Except without anti-Semitism, but with the same political rhetoric’s, phraseology and evil nationalistic, populistic and inhuman political views.

As a matter of fact, one of those right-extremists from the USA seems to be their political guru for many alt-right political parties, institutions and NGOs. They take his blood money (pecunia non olet) which he is also donating to a network of anti-Semitic fags. Fie!

It needs civil courage to present views as Amnon Abramovich does, my respect, Yishar Koach.

The Israeli alt-right did not invent Zionism and do not own Zionism. All they are doing is to pervert Zionism into a right extreme political bully-front.

For Zion
6. Extreme Right Wing Suicidal Sicarii will lead to Masada 2
Steve Benassi ,   Plymouth, MN USA   (12.01.18)
... where the minority "Jewish State" will be wiped out demographically due to their desire for Greater Israel in the Occupied Territories.

The inevitable outcome will be Palestine Israel, 2 States 1 Country, with a Jewish minority, which is the best Jews could have ever hoped for from the beginning in 1948.

7. Amnon: good, courageous column! Keep up good work!
Rafi ,   US   (12.01.18)
8. MR
Eliyahu Kitov ,   safed   (12.02.18)
A.A., sorry your article is simply militarily unsound. It also comes across like you wrote it without pausing to breathe.
9. Extreme right has been attacking soldiers for decades
Shachar ,   Eilat   (12.02.18)
Attacking and verbally abusing soldiers, vandalising army equipment, targeting the families of officers has been going on for years. Much of the right have been enemies of the state for a long time. It is time to treat them like Hamas, Hezbullah and our other enemies.
10. We should judge generals by results
Bar Star ,   Jerusalem   (12.02.18)
The results are terrible. Hamas is victorious and people in the South suffer tremendously. What will happen if and when Hezbollah attacks Israel? The bottom line is very simple: Gadi Eisenkot and the General Staff failed to defeat the enemy. May be we should give Ofer Winter a chance.
11. the Right clearly reveals its rabid poison in posts here...
Rafi ,   US   (12.03.18)
These a-holes cowardly attack - usually anonymously or with fake post names - the spectrum of Israel's security establishment including IDF officers, Mossad and other intelligence directors.

As another commentor mentioned, they do the bidding of Israel's enemies.

If their ilk ever succeed in controlling the IDF, it would be downfall of modern Israel.

Bravo to Amnon Abramovitch and all others who courageously defend Israel, the IDF, and its values from these vicious sewer rats.
12. "Extreme right"= NO to 9 mile wide Israel concentration camp
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.02.18)
No other nation has leftists as dumb and destructive as Israel's. Try to imagine even the most lunatic British, American, or E.U. leftists adopting the policy of trimming THEIR nation's waist to just 9 miles and turning it into a virtual concentration camp!

For leftists, "extreme right" means loving Israel and refusing to turn Israel into a 9 mile wide concentration camp. The Israeli left is a collection of people with the brains of sparrows and the survival instincts of dodo birds. Historically, they are dangerously wrong about EVERY major issue. Israel needs a patriotic revolution. We need the patriotic right to govern EVERY crucial institution in our nation.

13. Totalitarianism
Bertram ,   London, UK.   (12.03.18)
For right-wing extremists in Israel Zionism is now viewed - positively - as a totalitarian ideology with the objective of wiping out every other way of thinking. They justify this by branding any kind of criticism or dissent as treachery and treason. This is further underpinned by a permanent collective self-image of that of the victim since if you are always the victim (even if you are well-armed and a nuclear capability) you are allowed to do anything to your enemy.
As George Orwell argued, when those who have been oppressed gain total victory over their oppressors they can degenerate into clones of their enemies, as shown in the closing words of Animal Farm:
“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”
