1. not as strong as Jimmy Carter, stronger than Jesse Jackson
aaron ,   ra'anana   (03.02.08)
Obama and the US liberals are preparing to throw Israel under a bus...
2. The real problem with Jewish Obama supporters.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (03.02.08)
They are as far-left as Meretz here in Israel. Now, I am not saying that Obama is an enemy of Israel - no US candidate for president would come out publically as anti-Israel. If you ask members of our looney left, for the most part, they believe that their views are good for Israel. I am not talking about those that have gone off the deep end & become pathological Israel-bashers. Any discussion of them is best left to a psychiatrist. But there is a responsible left here as in America. Obama & his supporters represent that political position. The problem is that they are WRONG.
3. obam was also touched by farrakhan

4. READ between the lines
(03.02.08)
He will be very pro-arab/palestinians.
5. what is obama's position on the road map
alan ,   Cape Fear   (03.02.08)
Clinton was right to claim Obama has been getting softballs to hit so far and this fluff support is no exception. Here are some hardballs. Is Obama going to press for the Road Map to be implemented? Is he going to use Zbignew as his primary advisor? Zbig was Carter's advisor and we all know what Carter is. Is he going to follow the Clinton model of sending a Secretary of State to the ME every month so the palestineans can get their media propaganda machine primed for phoney ambulance trips? Is he going to endorse Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish State? No Jew should vote for Obama until he answers these questions fully. Is Obama going to admit that he attended a Muslim school in Indonesia?
6. You've got to be kidding
USA   (03.02.08)
In the midst of everything that's going on, you've got this prominently placed on your front page. And you actually think this guy is the Messiah just like some my fellow Americans. Sometimes I think you guys are your own worst enemy.
7. I support Barack Obama
Doron ,   Haifa, Israel   (03.02.08)
Viva Barack.
8. # 5 Alan He said he supports a two state solution
petra ,   usa   (03.02.08)
which to me says, the pals will be favored no matter how many rockets they fire into Israel. If he were a real friend of Israel, he would have made a different statement. Like, "Until the rocket attacks on Israel cease, there will NOT be any discussions which initiate a two state solution". It's the "Two State Solution" that makes most of us nervous. Israel si our ally not the pals who indirectly are responsible for terror world wide. His minister is a known anti semite who praised Farrakhan in public and Obama says nada, neither does Oprah, his backer and another member of Trinity church. In another words, Africa and the Muslims first, not America, not Israel. With true doubts as to his agenda, why would anyone but a muslim sympathizer vote for him? We know Clinton, we DON"T know about Obama.
9. CARTER!
Mike ,   Chicago   (03.02.08)
Beware of charisma
10. the euro equal 1.5 dollar
Fadi ,   birut   (03.02.08)
america has bigger problems than the Israeli-palestinian issues or you have not noticed yet ???
11. The results of Obama outspending Hillary 4 to 1
Jake   (03.02.08)
is that he can pay these 'activists' to plant moles in the Jewish community to help him pander to them more effectively. Jews need to open their eyes to this deception.
12. obama friend of arabs
sam ,   New York   (03.02.08)
obama is an arab lover , a friend of my enemy is my enemy
13. The Future of Change
Media Critic ,   USA   (03.02.08)
According to PB.com, 70% of world oil reserves are in the Muslim and Arab world, US has only 3%, All of Europe combined about 6%. The Status Quo is not acceptable.
14. Osama Hussein Obama
Hendreck ,   usa   (03.02.08)
Obama talks the talk but what will he do once he is in the White House?
15. Obama is a HUGE QUESTION MARK & shouldn't be supported
Dr. Dave ,   NYC   (03.03.08)
Why should anyone support someone who you have no true idea what and who he represents? With McCain what you see is what you get, The man is honest and a true patriot who will serve America, the Free World & Israel very well. Concerning Liberal Jews: If Obama weren't black all the liberal self-loathing (scared of their liberal neighbors opinions) Jews, wouldn't give Barak the time of day. But being politically correct, they flock to him like he's their massiah.
16. The Peanut Farmers Boy
Franswa Abu Michlele ,   Paris, France   (03.03.08)
17. Obama will support Palestine
Shulamit   (03.03.08)
Obama recognizes the struggle of the Palestinians and will demand Israel become a state of all its citizens and repudiate its apartheid racist identity or face a total break off of relations. His presidency will be th end of the control the Israel lobby has in Washington.
18. Obama is a Jew hater
Michael Ezrachi ,   St. Louis, USA   (03.03.08)
Obama = Farrakhan = Ahmadinejad = Another Shoah if Obama is elected president of the US. This obama guy is a well known Jew Hater. Vote for Hillary in the primary, But, John McCain in the general election. Obama will sell out Israel, just like the IAEA is trying to assist Iran in getting Nuclear weapons. And if Israel defends her self, Obama will not support her. Just like the UN is upset about Gaza, But, did not say any thing about Sderot. Any Jew who defends obama is a self hating Jew. Obama = Carter = Farrakhan = Ahmadinejad = An Enemy of Jews and Israel.
19. Taqiyya! ANTI-ISRAEL OBAMA Raised Funds for ISLAMIC Causes
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (03.04.08)
WorldNetDaily.com Obama raised funds for Islamic causes Speeches for Palestinian refugees called code for Israel's destruction February 25, 2008 By Aaron Klein ...Obama's 1999 fundraising for the Palestinian Deheisha camp raised the eyebrows of one senior Israeli security official who was contacted yesterday for comment on the issue. The official, who was not aware of Obama's fundraising, noted Deheisha, which is located near the city of Bethlehem, had a "very active" Palestinian terror apparatus in 1999, carrying out scores of deadly shootings against Israeli civilians that year. Two of the most deadly suicide bombings in 2002 also were planned from Deheisha, where the suicide bombers originated, said the security official. On one such bombing, in March of that year, 11 people were killed and over 50 injured, four critically when a Deheisha bomber detonated his explosives next to a group of Jewish women waiting with their baby carriages for their husbands to leave a nearby synagogue... Obama worked with terrorist Obama's advocacy on behalf of Palestinians comes after WND reported yesterday the presidential candidate served on the board of the Woods Fund alongside William C. Ayers, a member of the Weathermen terrorist group which sought to overthrow of the U.S. government and took responsibility for bombings against government buildings... . Obama adviser wants talks with terrorists Last month WND quoted Israeli security officials who expressed "concern" about Robert Malley, an adviser to Obama who has advocated negotiations with Hamas and providing international assistance to the terrorist group. Malley, a principal Obama foreign policy adviser, has penned numerous opinion articles, many of them co-written with a former adviser to the late Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, petitioning for dialogue with Hamas and blasting Israel for numerous policies he says harm the Palestinian cause... http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=57341
20. I TOLD YOU HE'S A GOOD GUY, YOU BAND OF DUMB NUTS.
Gideon   (03.19.08)
21. Ezrachi accusation of Obama
Dena Silver ,   Philadelphia, Pa.   (06.05.08)
Ezrachi, you have no idea what you're talking about. You're vulnerable to the smear-Obama campaign directed at the Jewish community, which the Jewish community, with all it's been through, should be able to see through. Obama understands the nuances involved, and will support Isreal's need to defend herself. Obama is the exact opposite of Farrakhan/Ahmadinejad, and he's a far more anchored person than Carter. You're talking off the top of your head and spreading distortions. As a Jew, you should know better than that.
