but lets see where you are and who you coming running back to after you attack Iran alone, and are not able to withstand the military and international reprecussions of your actions. You think China, Europe or Russia will come to your aid then? I think not. Despite what this author says, Americans are standing firm behind our President and are proud he is taking the path he has with Israel. We love and support Isreal on most matters, but we will have to drawn the line if the face of such defiance. Thick twice before you overplay your hand on this one! Tread carefully Israelis, Tread Carefully....

Israel should not concentrate on developing Jerusalem but build up other settlements in the heart of Judea and samaria in principle cheap housing for the chareidi community which is bursting at the seams

It is sad you don't understand reality. Israel won't attack Iran alone. Once the Shi'a have the bomb thanks to Obama, they will take over Iraq and Saudi Arabia. You won't have a choice but to try and save the King which Obama bows to. You will win, but the price of oil will skyrocket far beyond $200. You will be unemployed and starving. Have a nice day Matt.

US, Matt. Best pull your progressive head out, and start to take an honest look at the landscape. People are spooked big time by his "transformational" fiscal antics, and you can literally smell the stink of worry coming from the Congress at this point. Easy to see there is going to be a great sweeping of the deck come 2010, and domestic policy alone will be the progressive death-knell in 2012. No, sport, you do not speak on behalf of the United States.

..will not be rewarded. Israel has recognized borders. All settlements outside of those borders, including planned construction in east Jerusalem, are in fact illegal. The question of Palestine has now been brought before the world. While we ponder the consequences of having appeased the Zionist movement, Israel continues to show contempt. Very very foolish.

you have a left wing loonie for president and you have troops dying in pointless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan ,your economy is going to hell and our economy is not great but much better than yours so there . We managed without US AID IN 1967 AND IN Entebbe bombing Osirak and the Syrian reactor .Our finest hours come when we fight alone with Hashem's help . We do not fight with a bunch of losers

The entirety of Jerusalem as the entirety of the Land of Israel belongs exclusively to the entirety of the Jewish people. It belongs to our generation as well as to the future generations to come, and no one has the right and/or the legitimity to cede even one single square cm. of the city or the land. Agreements as a result of blackmail and pressure are not valid and will not change historical truth and International Legitimacy (The San Remo agreements). Mistakes done by Israeli government(s) in Anapolis or before should not be respected and should be put right immediately. No Jewish leader has the right to abandon any part of the Land of Israel. Arabs have no case as to the Land of Israel, we should return to the original legitimity as described at : http://xrl.us/bjch4

do not speak for all americans, mr. matt. i for one do stand behind the USA...i do not support barak hussein obama's policies, nor am i proud of his stance with israel. i am ashamed in fact....get out of starbucks and make some friends that aren't liberal sheeples, and maybe then you can make a more accurate assumtion of what americans really think

Isreal does have only one true ally and this is not the United States. The U.S. is only one nation under the true ally of Isreal. No matter what they may say or do, liberals nor anyone else have the power to change this.

Tread carefully?...you will draw the line in face of such defiance... Its funny how american jews think that they have the right to tell us what to do... Hey buddy.. it is we Israelis who defend this land with our bodies not you... you are pathetic

I am tempted to say i told you so. American Jews voted overwhelmingly for a Man who spent years in a Church that was led by a racist that hates Israel. Obama sat in this Church for over 20 years and listened to his poisonous sermons and only left when his sermons became public. His book the Audocity of Hope was named after a speech given by this bigot, the man also baptised his Daughters. Do you not think he did not share this Mans views, if he didnt he would have left years ago. You are also forgetting his Muslim background both by his Father and Stepfather. His first interview was to a Muslim/Arabic newspaper, remember his bow to the Saudi King and his apology speech in Cairo. For those who had on blinkers remove them now this man is no friend of Israel. He is very deceptive and totally dishonest remember how he dealt with the issue of funding for elections. Inconclusion America have been had by slick Marketing and cover ups. Do you know if he is really an American citizen the Jury is still out. What about the tape of the Birthday party speech that he made concerning Isreal. Remember how quickly that tape dissapeared why was that done. One thing is obvious people have been paving the way and grooming this man for sometime to what end we will see. Israel remember this land was given to you by GOD and he is the one who have really kept you all this time so even if Barack Hussein Obama decides to stop supporting you he will still be there. Shalom '' If i forget thee O Jerusalem ''

Yoram Ettinger and Menachem Begin notwithstanding, Herzl had in mind a different future for Jerusalem. “We shall exterritorialize Jerusalem, so that it will belong to nobody and yet everybody; and with it the Holy Places, which will become the joint possession of all believers – a great condominium of culture and morality.” (Herzl’s Diaries, May 7, 1896) We might do well to bear this in mind when – hopefully soon! – the permanent status negotiations will be resumed. Translated into today’s language, Herzl’s vision may be expressed thus: Let Jerusalem be united, open to all and belonging to all its inhabitants, without borders and barbed wire. Let Jerusalem be the capital of both the State of Israel and the State of Palestine. Let us turn Jerusalem into a symbol of Peace.

Great Kevin, It is time Israel wakes up and goes to GOD , and stop looking to the world for help, especially from US and Obama. Obama is a lier, and a Musalum, he has no intention of helping his gole is to promote islem and destroy the US as we know it.

Jerusalem should be NEVER divided. It is one city and must be one city under Israel. It is open for all religions and visitors. Befote 1967 the old part was forbidden for Israelis and Jews and under Israel it is free for EVERYBODY, no matter skin, race, religion.

Finally someone has the guts to defend the truth. When Jerusalem was built, the United States did not exist. I knew that Obama does not know or understand the Jewish history and Judaism.

I gotta ask it again - And it should be asked often until the question no longer exists > If Israel is a sovereign nation like any other - Why do it's Leaders have to appease other nations by answering to their ideas of what should be done with their land. Does Obama ask Israeli leaders what he should do with land in the US? Do native Americans on reservations in America have a claim on New York City so that we have to give half of it to them because they lived there first long ago? Wake up Israel and stop acting like a little insecure child. Stand up for yourselves and claim your God given right to live in the land and take dominion of it as God puts in your heart to do.

I have stated before he won the election, he is not a friend of Israel. He has made this very obvious on his many tours to Muslim nations etc. He embraces islam. He states the U.S is NOT a Christian nation. He has, along with the criminal thugs he has in his administration, committed treason. He has betrayed the idiots who voted for him. We are a nation under siege now. We should be flying our U.S. flag, upside down to show we are a nation in distress. Most of us love and pray for Israel and the Peace of Jerusalem. We are soon to be a nation no longer identifiable to what our founding fathers established. Watching t.v. here is like watching a horror movie. We are in shock and awe.
