Ministers: Netanyahu, Obama have their wires crossed     Roni Sofer
1. labour cowards
Aside from barak and ben eliezer, labor consists of meretz and olmert type sellouts who would kiss US ass at any moment. Bibi is doing this thing correctly, Israel will decide as a sovereign nation what it can do. it doesn't need US approval for its nationhood. It will fight for it if necessary. As Sharon said, this will not be another checkoslovakia. labour, tamir, war failure peretz, the beilin legacy with thousands of israeli dead as a result have no lessons for bibi. If it were up to labour, it would not have attacked iraq's nuclear installation in 1981. et this, US will not attack iran regardless of what happens in teheran. It will be up Israel alone. kadima, Olmert, livni and labour aside from barak and ben eliezer were complete failures who got thousands of missiles for their concessions. Very few missiles are flying now because haniyeh is scared of bibi and yaalon. labour is out of touch and one can only hope that peretz, paz pines, tamir and braverman leave. They can all visit ehud olmert in jail.

2. PM is doing right
PM is doing right since we have a President over here that is leaning more to socialism and/or communism. He's against Israel and anyone can see that. I guess this will not be allowed on the site but I'm just talking truth and sense. Israel is God's land and God's people. That creates enemies of God to be enemies of Israel so the writer of this article is off the rocker because every leader has their way of leading and strategies.

3. Bibi needs to tell B. Hussein to stop meddling and that will
be it. B. Hussein has a loud voice but backs off quickly and quietly when met with a decisive "NO" "NEIN" "NIET" or "LA" This happened to him from the European Union, Germany, Russia, F. Arbia and Iran that all told him to buzz off. None of his agenda items with them were accepted, although he presented a brave media face, and he did not repeat them afterwards.

4. Team Obama Moves To Overthrow Netanyahu Government
With the assistance of political opportunists in other parties. Is there anyone with an IQ over 50 who believes Team Obama would not be applying this same pressure on Israel no matter what Bibi did? In Israel during the campaign Obama first said Jerusalem should remain undivided. The next day a clarification said the future of Jerusalem would be negotiated by the two sides. Now Obama has taken the position of a lawyer advocating the Arab side. Abbas has to do nothing except stand aside and let Team Obama do the dirty work for him Meanwhile, tough cop Gates is coming to Israel, we are told, to restrain Israel from taking action against Iran. Is the US trying to strangle Israel? I thought the idea was to strangle Iran - to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear capability. None of this is in the best interests of the USA or Israel. We Americans who care about Israel are watching this with utter dismay.

5. "wires crossed....?"
well, well. it is really unfortunate that bb is not acting like a puppet! remember! ONLY ISRAEL has israel's best interest in heart!!! everybody else, including obama has their own agenda. the bottom line: THE US NEEDS ISRAEL AS MUCH AS ISRAEL NEEDS THE US. so BB... lead israel for the BENEFIT of the people of ISRAEL!!! thank you.

6. Well I DEMAND obaama to halt imposing health care,cap&trade,
& trillions in bail ,   outs to folks in US!   (07.20.09)
7. It takes two to tango...
It's Obama who changed the rules, and it is incumbent on HIM, not Netanyahu, to heal the rift that Obama has created.
Charles ,   Cleveland   (07.20.09)
8. How much of a clue does Labor need?
Obama is not a friend of Israel. This man won't say 2 words about what the Iranians are doing to their own women, but he raises @#$% about Jews living in Jerusalem!!!
Rachel ,   San Antonio, TX   (07.20.09)
9. America has just crossed a red line!!! Israel should not
allow Jerusalem to be part of any deal.
Harvey Good ,   Netanya/West Palm B.   (07.20.09)
10. We shall not, we shall not be moved. Just like a tree that
is standing by the water, we shall not be moved. Jerusalem is the Jewish people's water, Mr. Obama, and if the Jewish people wishes to survive, it will not be moved from its source of water.
Amihai ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.20.09)
11. trensions
tensions exsisted with obama long before bibi's last cabnet meeting.. the obama government wants israel back to the 48 borders. the americans have changed if you haven't noticed. it's in israels interest to find new friends cause the old ones have changed!

12. PM and Obama
Wonderful, that there is no (or diminishing) contact between our PM and the US Admin and President. May it continue to be so and we can be truly independant and have something to celebrate. At least we won't be "leeching off the US" like the Israeli Left do

13. Ministers: Netanyahu, Obama have their wires crossed
Very Good! Can two walk together unless they agree? How do you walk together with a so-called friend who is working with your enemies to fdestroy you whiile at the same time lavishes you with enpty words of lies? Jesuralem is indeed a trembling cup and the Lord will deliver Israel. The end has come for the US as she parts way with Israel.
Natzr ,   UK   (07.20.09)
14. What Bibi needs to do
He needs to advise B. Hussein Obama that Israel is a sovereign country that dictates it's own policies. It also need to take it's money and put it where the sun does not shine. (a pultry 3% of Israels GDP). Then annex Judea and Samaria. Does he have the faith to do so is the question. I rather doubt it. So much for secularism!

15. true to his roots
the Muslim president will stop at nothing to do Iran’s job for them. he wants to see Israel , only though the American road map. While spouting that the can't tell counties what to do, HE will do what he can to FORCE them to follow his orders.
Kofi   (07.20.09)
16. Labor ministers
Clearly, labor enjoys playing the spoiler. They pander to the left when it suits them and yet remain in the government when they want to collect their checks. Labor proves again that Hypocracy can be profitable
Bob ,   Jerusalem   (07.20.09)
17. Netanyahu/Obama
The rockets will continue to rain on Israel until they elect a prime minister who has the will and the courage to drive the Palestinians and Hamas out of Gaza and the West Bank. When George Bush gives back his Crawford,Texas ranch to the Native Americans is when peace will come to Israel. To the victor goes the spoils. Americans killed thousands of Indians during the conquest of the United States. The Indians that survived were placed in concentration camps euphemistically described as reservations where alcoholism and unemployment reigns. Since the Bureau of Indians Affairs has granted gambling casino licenses, some Indian tribes have prospered. Maybe gambling casinos are the solution for the Palestinians

18. Sad to Hear That
America Should not Tell Israel What to Do! Israel is a its own country, I wish Bush was in office! he would have gotten along with Netanyahu
Steven Stein ,   New York New York   (07.20.09)
19. Shut Up Labor, we listened to you and look where we got
Your appeasement approach didn't work for the last 20 years. How about you sit down a be quiet for a few decades.
John S ,   Houston USA   (07.20.09)
20. partially true but one key omission
Declaration of War was made under Bush administration, legally and essentially it is an open War against and ambiguous enemy. Many cronies ascended during bushies 8+4. These cronies are implacable christo-hegemons plus so ambitious and they started information ops against Israel , the DoD vituperates Israel as an intolerant, elitist, violent prone pariah that only seeks dominance over their weaker disadvantaged neighbors. For crying out loud the three time I deployed to Iraq, I even noticed the Iraqis as uncomfortable with some of the anti-Israel sentiment proffered by American officers all card carrying (republicansatzgruppen)

21. Bibi has exposed Obamas weakness in foreign policy and is
going to take advant ,   age of it. Go Bibi!!   (07.20.09)
22. Obama has lost the upper hand here. Bibi needs to continue
slap down Obama on ,   every turn.Israel   (07.20.09)
23. labor is pathetic
labor is pathetic. all labor ministers have their job because bibi was way way way too nice and gave them way too many ministries. They definitely did not deserve the ministries they got based on the election results. With the 4 labor rebels, labor only really has 9 MKs. They are pathetic - and do not deserve what they received. The are such a pathetic bunch of losers that members of their own party admit that the faction can not meet because the faction is dysfunctional and everyone hates each other. These are the people who are dispensing criticism of Bibi? Ha, what a joke. I would laugh but its not even worth it. they are such pathetic losers. Maybe the only thing worse than labor is kadima. God, Kadima and labor are so bad they are like a curse from God. HA

24. Hussein Obama. You occupy native indian land. Jeruslam
has been ours for over 3000 years. how dare you tell jews where they can and cannot build. You as someone whose ancestors were enslaved and discriminated against should know not to commit racism towards jews. This is our city, far longer than youve been president. 7 months vs 3,000 years

25. Obama made the problem.
to blame Israel for the "settlement problem" is like blaming Israel for the Arab suicide bombings. Only an anti-Semite would accuse Israel for causing it. Look at who and what Obama is, who is around him, and what direction he is going to. Blair is not the cause of Obama's disgusting behavior against England.
Golan ,   SL   (07.20.09)
26. Good for Bibi
Bibi was right to expose the anti-Semitic pro-terrorist US policy. And he was right to say no to these intentionally insane demands from the US. The US - Israeli bond was broken the day BHO took office. Israel is now free to do what's in her best interests and to seek out fresh alliances.
Morris ,   USA   (07.20.09)
27. Reason for little talking
If anyone would have paid attention to to his minister Wright his terrorist friend Bill Ayers or his adviser Samantha Powers and his friendship with every anti Israel Arab in the U.S. Rashid Khalidi and Edward Said.Then the Jews in the U.S. or the self serving Labor Party wouldn't be a bit suprised.No Pro Israel Christian or Jewish person is.
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (07.20.09)
28. This is all Obama, he is a con man, he is Farrakhan,
a Dinkins, a Black Panther radical, he bleeds for Arafat, his minister Rev. Wright is an anti-semite whose masters thesis was on Islam in Africa. Obama is there because the people with the billions knew he would protect there money with the Bank Bailout, and every single black person voted for him. As far as Jews are concerned it was against people like him that the Jewish Defense League was formed ro protect Jews left behind in the Ghettoes surrounded by Jew hating black radicals. Obama is selling out Israel because he wants to appease the Arabs just like England and America sough to appease Hilter and the anti-semite in England, America and the Arabs themselves. In addition Rahm Emmanual is the lowest Jew on this earth and should be excommunicated and nwlecome even at his own children bar mtisvah's.

29. Did These Labor Idiots Not Listen To Cairo?
If these morons think that anything Israel does affects how the traitorous scumbag in the White House treats them, then they are beyond all reason. Precedent Hussein had his mind made up about Israel long ago. The only ones who refused to ac knowledge what was so obvious were the idiot leftist Jews who voted for the traitor and who tend to support Labor. Suicidal morons.
MK ,   Philadelphia USA   (07.20.09)
30. o-BUM-a is a clueless arab that was able to fool American
voters but not real Israeli Jews. He is incapable of being a President of the United States, he just sits in the Oval Office and screws up one thing after another.
