1. If she wouldve been caught in China she would be condemned
Alan ,   SA   (10.12.19)
to death . it would have served her better if she stayed home and puffed there
2. Of course it's a political move for trading something.

May be it wasn't planned that way - which I take to advise all travelers, anywhere, do not take any type of these drugs with you on airplanes.
Now the whole issue is exaggerated and one silly unthinking female is
in a Russian prison.
3. Russian police has a history of planting drugs
(10.12.19)
into people’s luggage to use them either as hostages for exchange or force them into cooperation with the secret services. It is not sure, if that is the case with this particular person, but it never harms to be a bit more cautious when dealing with Russian state authorities.
4. West against Russia on the backs of ordernary citizens.
Mr.Reason ,   Berlin   (10.12.19)
Very sorry for young lady who besides her recklessness to have drugs on international flights got caught up in a war of USA against Russia on all possible levels.
Russia is facing the fact that hundreds of it's citzens are being rounded up by US vassals world wide to be extradicted to USA for different reasons.

Obviously, criminals should not be travaling freely, but there are many problems with the current situation:
1. Radicoulosly long sentances in US.
2. Politically motivated justice system, which lead Snowden flee it's own country.
3. Russian criminals who fled Russia, be it white collar criminals, or even murder are being openly protected by West, granting them asylum.
4. The case of a Russian citizen being held in Israel for 4 ylears in jail only for a decision wheather he would be extradicted to USA is a SCANDAL!
Imagine Israel is keeping an American citizen 4 years in jail in a vice versa case?!
Considering this situation, one can only wonder about the Chuzpe of Bibi to have any requests to Putin to release Naama. Are there only idiots present in the highest echelons of power now adays?
5. The Russian way
(10.12.19)
What a surprise.
6. well, smuggling drugs IS a crime. not exactly a surprise
doda ,   givatayim   (10.12.19)
7. 1. Don't even stopover in Russia.
Oh Sh*t ,   Shabbas Joy   (10.12.19)
2. If you do stopover in Russia, it doesn't matter if you have dope or not, they'll get you if they want you.

3. Naama Issachar is now a pawn.

4. Prayer has a funny way of working. Pray for Naama.
8. For what Bibi's call is worth
Avi L.   (10.12.19)
nothing
9. 7 yrs is too good. Drugs Business is A CRIME. PAY for that!
TheWall   (10.13.19)
10. #3 agreed. Was she REALLY carrying drugs?
(10.13.19)
You're going to rely on the word of the Russian police?
11. 9.5 grams is a lot of weed
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (10.13.19)
I don't have much sympathy for this woman. She is very stupid. 9.5 grams is a lot of weed. If she didn't get arrested in Russia she would've gotten arrested in the airport in Israel where there is also a sever punishment for carrying such a large amount of marijuana.
12. Israel arrested a cancer patient for cbd oil. Whats worse?
(10.13.19)
13. gullible beyond belief
ed   (10.13.19)
currying favor is one thing. being blind to reality is another. bibi sucked up to trump but believing that some mutual defense treaty gives israel a leg up was nonsense. bibi will grasp at any straw whether putin or trump since he himself is paralyzed with fear about leading Israel alone in battle.

idf has to do much better in producing rugged willing soldiers. and they should permit mustaches and short beards to make them look tougher.there are too many baby faced soldiers.

ariel sharon, bennett and a few others were and are willing to go on the offense . however, bibi's fear is palpable and harms Israeli deterrence. gantz is not fearful but simply passive. and lapid is an ignoramus about war and battle.

you Israelis had a chance to vote for Bennett but you preferred scared rabbit netanyahu or passive gantz.

and you wonder why so much ill has befallen you??

why is it nasrollah and sinwar are cool, calm and collected while bibi races around sweating fear fear fear of this and that.

i could have told you that US or international assurances are damn worthless.bibi couldn't figure this out???!! What a flop!

Israel has the means but has to go on the offense which it has not since sharon. Quit crying and take the offense. plans should be dusted out for the right time. bibi should be nowhere near any security portfolio.
