Give me break, who really want waste his time making peace with Netanyahu and Lieberman. What and how they thinks is written in their foreheads. You have to be from outer space to believe this Israeli government elected by a coalition of right wing and extremist settlers will achieve anything positive. .Yes, the writer is right, the diaper of Netanyahu never been changed since his first term as prime minister. It got too smelly though and well known to everybody including best friend, US. Good article.

He can go and bow to the Sherif of Mecca to his heart's content and leave us the hell alone. All we have gotten from foreign presure has resulted in more terrorism and more extremism. The Pals don't really want an independent state - they certainly aren't willing to do anything but sit around and whine and beg for more free money.

Is it just me? Is anyone else tired of watching this spectacle, this long line of Israeli supplicants parading year after wearying year to the White House? PM Netanyahu asked the UN General Assembly recently, "Have you no shame?" Most assuredly this is an appropriate question. Only I have a question for the prime minister. Mr. Netnayahu, have you no dignity? Have you no self-respect? This has been a nauseating and repulsive sight / ritual to behold year after year. Please, can we not grow up?

As I have been saying, Iran has been given the "go-ahead", and in New York this week, we can see that they have made the down payment, in the form of several buildings and some money, which they must hand over to the US, in exchange for US giving them space to operate.

Pretty soon, America will no longer support Obama.

Ben, I gotta tell you, that is the dumbest thing I have read all morning. 90% of Americans want to see Tehran slapped HARD. (if they piss us off too much, don't think we would hesitate) For you to spout such ignorance to all those who can rebut such nonsense is not wise. Yeh, we are getting sick of holding your hand, because sometimes (lots of times) is smells too bad even for those of us that try to stand it anyway. You can attack Iran anytime you have the balls and determination to see it all the way to its natural end. (this could actually mean going it alone)The coin is in the air, call it!!! Who's country is it that looks annihilation in the face from all sides? You know mommy will come to the rescue, but the 'smell' is not good.

"Obama, on his part, spared no effort in making clear that he would have preferred a face-to-face meeting with suspected murderer Damian Carlik, who killed a family of six south of Tel Aviv, than with Israel’s prime minister." This statement is proof that the author is an idiot.

It is The US who should be embarrassed , With friends like Obama , who needs enemies ? G-d Bless Yisrael !!

the democrat party's prime concern is to enable the murder of as many babies as possible, that's what they live and breathe for, sometimes they pretend to love Jews but it's clearly just pretense - too many Jewish idiots in the USA and Israel don't understand these basic facts.

Obama in no way represents majority US sentiment toward Israel. We have huge support for Israel in Congress. If Obama turns away from Israel, how can G-d bless America? It's impossible. Nevertheless, some of us are working very hard to make sure there will always be strong grass-roots support for Israel in the US, regardless of the administration. This is my primary goal, and there are others who are like-minded. I am a Christian, and this is how G-d has directed me. Psalm 137:5-6: If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill . May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.

You have to be from outer space to believe that Hamas and Hisbollah want to live in peace with Israel despite their frequent pronouncements to the contrary. Abbas, even if he wished to make peace, and he doesn't, wouldn't be able to do it with the support he currently has from the Palestinians.

This guy Gefen wants war. The sooner the better. The reason: he is in very bad shape - 9 months and no war. What can be worse?

DO THE RIGHT THING ISRAEL, KICK THE ARABS ASS'S ,AND DON'T ASK AMERICA . WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU !!!!!!!!!!

if the israeli government truly cares about its people and its long term safety and interests, it better wake up and smell the coffee and listen very carefully to what america tells them. ignoring america would be a huge disaster for israel and a big win for the middle eastern extremists. israel had better wise up and fast!

Honestly, this type of thinking is clearly the result of the mess our country got itself in as a result of the Oslo War Process. To think that the Arabs want anything less than our entire country is repeating the dumb delusion of all our leaders who opposed Jabotinsy and Kahane. And today, we have an idiot President Shimon Peres who tells our youth "don't learn from history, its a waste of time-just focus on technology, its the future". Oy vay. Sure, Shimon, throw out your Chumash and your Navi-they can teach us nothing about human nature, leadership and faith in Hashem. The sooner we divorce ourselves from this idea of needing any protection from any entity other than Hashem, the sooner we will develop a pride in ourselves and earn the respect of others.

The quicker obama leaves the arena the safer it will become for all His islamic actions cause more bloodshed and discontent to all the middle east.countries. Let obama stay in america and control the new medical aid.The cost is felt by the man in the street.Now american citizens feel what Israel has to deal with in a demanding dictator like obama.Thank god oama is getting lost

A clear case of moral equivalence and revisionism. While the US is certainly an important ally, last I checked Israel was not a simpering child, but a proud sovereign nation. The entire article is based on a stupid analogy that shows a completely lack of understanding that you would expect from a wide-eyed teenager.

No word about Arab maximalist demands, nor their upping the ante everytime Israel gives a concession, nor their terror attacks when they don't get their way. "Blame Israel' seems to be the Leftist mantra.

Like coherence, intelligence, analysis, depth, etc etc.

Alliances with China, India and Russia would arguably be just as advantageous, if not more so, to Israel's strategic needs as its alliance with America. (Incidentally, the very possibility of Israeli cooperation with countries like China and Russia would worry America sufficiently enough to cause it to think twice before cutting its ties with Israel.) To be sure, China and Russia are not the "nicest" or most enlightened countries, but allies needn't be best friends; history records more than one instance where strange bedfellows found common cause. Are the USA still our allies? http://xrl.us/bewv97

Pull your head out of the sand. It's not Obama's "failure" to treat an "ally" well- it's Israel's complete failure to treat America as anything but a blind dog willing to bully Israels enemies at will. America owns Israel, runs Israel, is the only reason Israel exists, and so long as they support Israel, will be the only reason Israel will continue to exist. America treating Israel badly? Netenyahu has used Obama's middle name to inspire fear in Israel so that he can drive his hard line agenda. That's a monumental failure, because America is a breath away from saying "screw Israel."

The Russians & Chinese would sell Israel out in a hot second. The very last thing Israel should do is follow your advice of "Realpolitik courting" of that pair in order to attempt to "spook" the Yanks. Patience is in damn short supply in the States as is. Don't compound your troubles with that kind of fantasizing. Tread carefully with your only friend.

Holding Israel's hand? Really? Not a single American serviceman or woman has ever been sacrificed on behalf of Israel. On the other hand, just look at the number of Americans that have been sacrificed to try and bring peace and democracy to the Arab and Moslem world? Tens of thousands in an attempt to bring stability to people who hate Americans with a passion. Talk about a bad smell. Israel does not need "mommy" to come to the rescue. All Israel wants is for "mommy" to stay the hell out of Israel's way. No worries. Israel will fix the United States' problem with Iran, just as Israel fixed the problem with Iraq. Israel is used to cleaning up the messes made by the West. A little gratitude would be in order -- just imagine the kind of Gulf War the U.S. would have had in 1991 had not Israel destroyed the nuclear reactor in Baghdad. Think about all the American servicemen and women that did NOT come home in body bags, thanks to Israel. It's Israel that has always had the US's back; not the other way around.

But we have the U.S. Congress and the Senate on our side as well as most of the American people. People there are starting to see the error that was elected president. By 2010 the dems will lose their majorities in both Houses. I hope the Americans see the evil of emmanuel and axelrod along with hitlery clinton. They are out to destroy our country and the U.S. as well. But we will be around when they are sent home in Jan,2013. emmanuel and axelrod forgot that we Jews survive all our enemies. I hope there will be a huge demonstration to prevent emmanuel approaching the Western Wall. Let him have his son's Bar Mitzvah in mecca. Keep this slime ball away from the Wall.

on Israel. You make me laugh this morning and made my day.

Ron is right and you don't get it. Obama bows to the Saudi dictator because he needs cheap oil, and will do anything for the Saudis. Why do you think Obama called the US a Muslim country? Obama has already betrayed Israel and so keep your idle threats. On the other hand, what do you think Putin would give so his navy could port in Ashdod to control the Suez Canal? Or for an improved anti-missile defense to protect Moscow from American sneak attack? And do you think the Russians forgot how NATO massacred the Orthodox-Christian Serbs to set-up a new Muslim state? You think the massacre could have happened if Russia had a Mediterranean presence?
