Arafat and Barak and Abbas and Olmert couldn't reach agreement on one core issue.(Jerusalem,borders,refugees) Each side has its own version of what peace is and each side waits for the other to make vast concessions. That willingness is not there. Obama and his team may bully their way on some outposts but that's about it.

Uhh - the US has consistently supported groups that most would describe as proponents of terror. See storm front Republican Party Connection or look into Sen. John McCain's time and association with the World Anti-Communist league and Eugenics advocate and Aryan supremacist Roger Pearson. The American Republican Party is nothing more than a modern day christian identity movement that is obsessed with the subjugation of states they deem "nuclear capable" and the first, best and most effective implement is "information dominance or Information control" the only difference between the current Democratic administration and the former Republican administration is the placement of Israel and Iran on different lists and the acknowledgment of the difference between Democratic and Non-Democratic States. In the Bush administration; States proclaiming themselves to be Democratic while simultaneously not purporting a xitian identity were considered false and irrelevant. Rahm Emanuel has been under consistent assault from rightist in this country before he was even officially appointed to the office. I remember when he was first mentioned, many cons called him rommy the paki or "Pakistani" it actually causes them anxiety to even acknowledge the existence of Israel and the only way they can even broach the topic and maintain their emotional composure is to reference Israel in a xitian context and the place of origin of their ethereal king and "master of the Jews"

But Obama is snatching defeat out of the jaws of Bush's victory in Iraq.

Israle's masters speak and Israel religiously obeys. What is incredible in all of this is that Israel still runs to Washington and religiously drinks the Kool-Aid. Even after all the failures and false hopes,Israel contunies down this dead end road. Jonestown was a shabbat picnic compared to Israel's self inflicted suicide for the no hope of peace Road Map. A people who stand for nothing fall for the Road Map farce,are always loyal to failed agendas and are easily betrayed. Israel can't stop drinking the exilor of appeasment and surrender of land that will magically transform the Islamic world into lovers of infidel Israel. Can the Jewish people be this stupid,this blind ? Idolatry has robbed them of wisdom.

you know why isrl drinks washington kool aid? cause it's a fake state with no qualifications at all...it's a freak infant which umbelical cord will always be connected to the mother west (first UK then USA) for nutrition...so this freak bastard freaks out whenever this cord is tensed...and before you start blathering that arab countries are same, i agree but if they ever untited they'll form the most formidable state ever...in the meantime at least they're not comitting aggression and occupying other's land...unlike ISRL

Tying the two issues is crap. There is no connection between the two. And if Obama uses this fallacious argument in his meeting with Netanyahu, Netanyahu can trash it. The fact is these two issues are separate. Iran poses a great threat not only to the region but the whole world. Ergo, it is the world's responsibility to stop the house of cards in the region from falling under Iran's domination. Unfortunately, Obama is still sleeping at the wheel. The leaders in the EU are also still sleeping at the wheel. And it is in Israel's great interest to take care of business in the region by confronting the Ayatollahs' nuke threat headon. As for setting up a Taliban like state in Israel's historic homeland, Israel should say NO, NO, NO to it. Netanyahu's government must be resolute and strong in confronting the challenges from within and without that are trying force Israel to give away more of its liberated GOD-given and GOD-restored historic homeland to the wolves and compromise its national security interests, survival and existence. It is time to stand strong. Israel cannot afford to cow, stoop and grovel. And the world of AntiSemites and Islamist-Jihadists want Israel to do that exactly. Israel has survived these 4000 years through the Providence of the GOD of Israel and it should say NO to the dark forces led by Satan. When Israel says NO to the crap of the dark forces, Israel will become stronger and more respected by the world. And the GOD of Israel will continue to bless, preserve and protect Israel.

not going to be re-elected. American jews if they care about Israel should withdraw their support from this administration. Rahm is not only a court jew but also scam. obama is a muslim. the combination is a low class pile of crap.

If you put together what Rahm and Haniyeh are saying, the logical conclusion is that the Marines are going to invade Gaza and topple Hamas. Cool.

...anymore than any other country that acquired territory by purchase or as spoils of wars, incidentally not initiated by Israel... You know... of course there are millions just like you who believe the opposite. But also remember that there's also huge support for Israel. Many people just dont buy the type argument you put up. We also think you are all BS too. You guys always...ALWAYS ignore the behavior of the arabs. ..constantly blame - all the blame on Israel. Sorry...it doesn't work like that. See , its an impasse.

Is this the best that this guy can do? How on earth he can make the connection and the outcome of arrangements with Iran linked to Israel's issues with the Palestinians? They are most definitely separate. Its a nonsense. In any case we all know that the only way for there to be peace is for one side to be annihilated; actually removed from the picture... The Palestinians have vowed never to recognize Israel and fight on indefinitely. There's absolutely no sign of that mentality waning. In fact its only got worse. They are implacable. With this kind of behavior and simply unreasonable conditions set by the Palestinians there can be no peace with anybody. Its not going to happen.

and now Obama and gang will gang up on Israel to earn their keep. Better stick w/ repairing the economy w/ finely written and read by q cards. He's no friend to Israel witness his bowing to his Saudi over lord. damn disgusting.

Thank you for standing up for Israel in the way a true friend does so - reassuring about the US's enduring commitment to Israel's security while also identifying the way that settlement expansion harms the prospects for peace. Millions of Jews stand behind you and the Obama Administration as good friends of Israel.

The "millions" of Jews that stand behind you are all Neturei Karta or Satmer. You do not speak for the Jewish people. You speak for you and your congregation (possibly). You certainly do not speak for me, nor for anyone I know. How on earth do you think the U.S. pushing Israel to a series of untenable concessions will be helpful to the prospects of peace? How will it stop Iran's aggressive enrichment program and its supply of missiles to Hamas and Hizbollah? With all due respect, Rabbi -- you are a fool.

There is a definite link between Iran and the Israeli - Palestinian conflict. It goes like this - A successful attack by Israel of Iran's nuclear facilities will allow Israel to negotiate a deal with the Palestinians from a position of strength.

RABBI HARRIS STATES THAT ........ MILLIONS OF JEWS BACK OBAMA'S POSITION AND YOU ARE ONE OF THEM. AS TO THE MILLIONS OF JEWS WITH THIS SAME POSITION................ I DON'T THINK YOU ARE CORRECT !! RABBI....... TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE POSTS HERE ON YNET ARE TELLING YOU. THESE YNET POSTS TINCLUDE THE VERY JEWS YOU ARE CLAIMING AS FOLLOWERS OF THE OBAMA ATTITUDE. IT DOES SEEM THAT OBAMA AND HIS BOYS ARE SHIFTING TOWARDS A RECONCILIATION WITH THE "TERRORIST " COUNTRIES IN ORDER TO " MODERATE" THEIR BEHAVIOUR. IN RECENT HISTORY WE HAVE SEEN THAT THIS NAIVE, SIMPLISTIC APPROACH TO MODERATE TERROR AND SUCK UP TO THE TYRANNY DID NOT WORK ....... THE U.S.A. SEEMS TO BE TRYING TO CUT IT'S LOSSES AND RETREATING FROM THE PRIOR U.S. POSITIONS IN THE WORLD ....... AS THESE PAST POSITIONS ARE SEEN AS AMERICA'S PAST "MISTAKES" BY OBAMA . THERE IS NO RELATION TO PAL. AND IRAN SITUATIONS ........ THIS IS A RED HERRING TO PREPARE FOR THE USA EXIT FROM FROM AFGAHANISTAN, PAKISTAN...... WITH THE "BLESSING" OF IRAN.
