The exclusive interview with Israel Defense Minister Ehud Barak provoked strong reactions among most Amanpour viewers. The commentary showed a definite division in political consensus regarding Mr. Barak’s statements. While some complimented the exchange between Amanpour and Mr. Barak during the interview, others took offense to what they described as “Amanpour’s bias against Mr. Barak.” Overall, the commentaries were emotional and supported for the most part, extreme views.

I enjoyed your interview with Ehud Barak. I wonder if there is any difference between Israeli targeted assassinations and our assassinations by drone n Pakistan. Is there any diference in civilian casualties in Gaza and Marjah?

Qasir M. Chaudhry The statement of Ehud Barak is something which every criminal declares when he is sentenced by the judge; The decision is biased and distorted. His rejection of the allegations is actually confession of the sins.
Folorunso Raphael Obawumi The nuclear program of Iran was launched in the 1950s with the help of the United States as part of the Atoms for Peace program. what is happening now?
Deborah J. Boyd One of the problems between Israel and Palestine is that the Arab Nations look at the same events and see them very differently than those who defend Israel. I am not sure we can reach Peace in the Middle East without a change in Iran & Syria
Yehoshua Zohar Yes, Jewish claims to Eretz Yisrael are based on history. No, that does not mean that modern reality does not have a place in political decisions. The problem is the unwillingness of a large part of the Islamic world to recognize Israel within any borders because the land we sit on is considered by them to be Muslim waqf (as is Spain, btw).
Fatimah-Dawn Partowmah What else did you expect Ehud Barak to say? Will the Cat say that, he does not want to eat the Mouse ?
Mia Amani I don't see Muslims arguing and fighting over Spain. What a ridiculous statement!
As far as I know, they only believe that the Holy Mount is waqf not Israel and I don't even know what difference that should make under international law.
What history is "Eretz Yisrael" based on? Please enlighten. Does it have something to do with those scary prophets of biblical lore slaughtering and cleansing the land of Gentiles, three thousand years ago?
And I would not call a country with the region's only nukes and the almost unconditional backing of the world's most powerful country a "David."
