1. Are these extremists (a) crazy, (b) evil, or (c) both?
David ,   Los Angeles   (06.04.09)
2. What's New?
Raymond ,   NY   (06.04.09)
I've never heard anything constructive from a settler. If Arab expulsion is constructive then I certainly need to take another vocab class to better understand my first language.
3. david los angeles
steve ,   melbourne   (06.04.09)
david it is no surprise that you are from los angeles most of california lives in fantasy land welcome to reality
4. wallerstein: Insulting, racist and worse
ben mordecai   (06.04.09)
the settlers have isolated themselves from the sane majority of Israelis --now they seek to isolate Israel from the world. thesecomments from the settlements are the rantings of extremist passed over by history and events
5. Barak OR Hussein? To be impartial, he needs to be BOTH
usa   (06.04.09)
6. #1 NEITHER. They're AFRAID (and with good reason, I might
(06.04.09)
add, given the history of Jewish persecution both ancient and modern.)
7. distain
Ethan ,   Eilat   (06.04.09)
These people have no problem showing their distain for the Israeli government. Their desire to live in the "land of Israel" may be realized in the long run in a two state solution. Just as Arabs will remain in the Jewish State a solution must be found for the Jews who desire to remain in the Arab State.
8. This is a good thing....
Matt ,   US   (06.04.09)
...if the extremists on both sides (jewish settlers and arab terrorists) both hate and denounce Obama, that means he must be saying something right to get both sides all riled up. The solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict is not far right or far left, it should be right down the middle; concessions on both sides. I really hope this is the beginning of the end of the conflict. Bibi, with his conversative/rightist credentials, is just the man to help lead Isreal to peace. Abu Mazen is not the ideal candiate to lead the Palistineans, but we have to take what we can get. Obama is widely respected and has the political muscle and capital to bring the two sides to an agreement. God Speed to Bibi, Abbas and Obama. Sane and rational people from all over the world support you and what you are trying to achieve.
9. Keep Building Settlements!
Heather Czerniak ,   Milwaukee, USA   (06.04.09)
Does Obama really think he's some sort of messiah? His speech will be forgotten in a week. In a month, Hamas and Hezbollah will try attacking Israel again. In a year, Iran will have its first nuclear bomb. Israel will have to put up with yet another round of criticism. What's the point? Just build the settlements. I have a feeling we're gonna need 'em.
10. Jesus Christ is the ONLY Messiah there will ever be...
Susanne ,   San Diego, CA   (06.04.09)
He is the Messiah for the Jew the Gentile everyone...Obama is a DECEPTION..Jesus warned in the Last Days the world would be living like the Days of NOAH..We are that generation..Jesus warned..DO not be DECEIVED..no matter what.. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD Hosanna in the Highest.
11. Enough is enough
(06.04.09)
Is it not enough that all the ex presidents of the USA were more Kohen than Hussein .
12. David #1 - You're referring to the Arabs, right?
Debbie ,   Jerusalem   (06.04.09)
13. Death rattle
Giora Me'ir ,   USA   (06.04.09)
What we're hearing is the death rattle of the settler movement. But they will not go gently into that good night. These religious fanatics will use violence to lash out against their inevitable fate.
14. #13 Giora
Marcel ,   Florida   (06.04.09)
Obama seems to think he is God .With his arrogance and lack of humility he forgets that America is rotting from within and no longe the great superpower it once was. The Haman's of the past assumed a free hand to push the Jews around and it was their own funerals they attended. The settlers aren't going anywhere ,they have God on their side .The death rattle is shaking for the rotting empire of the U.S. Read Zechariah 12;3 to understand what awaits you and the U.S. The pride and arrogance of outside meddlers with Jerusalem and Israel will be answered from above.
15. Settlers Are Disgusting
David ,   IL   (06.05.09)
The settlers are nothing but hateful extremists no different than Al-Qaeda or Islamic Jihadists...only they are Jewish instead. They harm Israel's national interests and international standing...they must be dealt with them forcefully and unequivocally.
16. Obama encapsulates the worst of both worlds
Matityahu ,   Slovenia   (06.05.09)
Sadam Husein and Ehud Barak.
17. NO COMPARISON, INDEED!
Filipino ,   Philippines   (06.05.09)
"...We surviived pharaoh, and we'll survive Obama as well." YES, SONS OF ISRAEL. YOU MUST CLAIM YOUR LAND, RESIST ANY PRESSURE AGAINST IT, AND BUILD YOUR HOMES THERE IN THE PROMISED LAND. YOU WILL SURVIVE AND TRIUMPH AGAINST MUSLIM (even perhaps Christian) FANATICISM AND INSPITE OF OBAMA.
18. #2, What Obama is asking is Israel to expel Jews
Jake   (06.05.09)
600,000 Jews, to be exact, who live in Judea, Samaria, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. Last I checked, sovereignty over the West Bank has yet to be assigned to any country, so on what basis should Israel ethnically cleanse all these people? To help Obama reach out to his fellow Moslems? Let him find some other dupe to the hungry lions. Israel is running out of territories to evacuate.
19. the President is self-serving
Mark Katzman ,   San Francisco, USA   (06.05.09)
You guys have it right...Nobama is no friend of Israel and he did pander to the arabs and made horrendous comparisons that were not only ignorant but painfully insensitive-he doesn't know the difference between Auschwitz and Buchenwald. This man would give away Israel and then try to convince Jews that it was in their best interests.
20. Same old same old
Real Zionist ,   Tel Aviv   (06.05.09)
This guy sounds like a ghetto Jew in a sharp suit - narrow minded, detached from reality, convinced that his version of G-d is guiding him. Truth is that him and the others he speaks for are leading us to the bottom of the abyss.
21. #14 More Filth from the Anti-Semite Marcel
David ,   Los Angeles   (06.05.09)
Who won't be happy until we're all either dead or converted to Christianity. He's doing everything he can to encourage Armageddon, including abusing Jews who get in his way with anti-Semitic insults.
22. Susan & Jennifer @ #9 & #10
Matt ,   US   (06.05.09)
Obama has never once called himself the messiah or the saviour of man. His oppenents are the only ones claiming this. Your lies are are not working...no one buys what you are selling. Susanne, are you seriously suggesting that Obama is the anitchrist? You should read the bible a little more carefully and not take the words in it literally.
23. LOOK UP OBAMA NAME ON GOOGLE.!
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (06.05.09)
24. Keep Building On
Brod ,   USA   (06.05.09)
It is your GOD-given and GOD-restored liberated historic homeland. GOD specifically gave the Land of Israel to the Jews. His Covenant to Israel is irrevocable and forever. Keep building on. Israel must never succumb to the call of the dark forces to ethnically cleanse Jews living in their historic homeland of Judea and Samaria. Just say NO, NO, NO to the Islamist-Jihadist usurpers, marauders and crusaders who have been crusading Islam/Jihadism to the world since the 7th century. And just say NO, NO, NO to their manipulated AntiSemite backers.
