31. Antisemitic? Rahm Emmanuel is an Israeli Jew!
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (11.29.09)
I concur that this administration is not the most sympathetic to Israel, but antisemitic? This is going too far. How can an administration whose 3rd in command is an Israeli Jew, be considered antisemitic?
32. Does Pres.Peres fall into this catagory?
Roland Seener ,   London England   (11.29.09)
He seems to have adopted a job which does not preclude adventures within Government.He appears at times to over-step the mark of the P.M.
33. Go'al Nefesh
ussishkin ,   tel aviv israel   (11.29.09)
Without any doubt this is the worst government this country has had the misfortune to have. This bunch of absolute deniers are creating such isolation for us, whilst proving they are a joke of party in power. What former Chief of Staff who became a government minister walked away from facing down fundamentalist settlers before? What Foreign Minister has ever been shunned before? Its not enough that the US President faces red-neck racism in his own country, he has to hear it from here too? This prejudices our US relations, the grants in aid we get for our armed forces, our credibility. It would be funny if Netanyahu’ was actually going to freeze settlement construction, but its clear its another lie.
34. This YNET article is nonsense.
Rich ,   Totonto, Canada   (11.29.09)
There are Jews all in the Obama administration. David Axelrod is Senior Advisor to the President; Jared Bernstein is the Chief Economist and Economic Policy Advisor to the Vice President; Rahm Emanuel is the Chief of Staff; Lee Feinstein is the Foreign Policy Advisor; Gary Gensler is the Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission; Elena Kagan is the Solicitor General of the US; Ronald Klain is the Chief of Staff to the Vice President; Jack Lew is the Deputy Secretary of State; Eric Lynn is the Middle East Policy Advisor; Peter Orszag is the Director of the Office of Management and Budget; Dennis Ross is Special Advisor for the Gulf and Southwest Asia to the Secretary of State; Mara Rudman is Foreign Policy Advisor; Mary Schapiro is Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission; Dan Shapiro is Head of Middle East desk at the National Security Council; James Steinberg is Deputy Secretary of State; Lawrence Summers is the Director of the National Economic Council; and Mona Sutphen is the Deputy White House Chief of Staff. I don't believe all of these Jews are anti-semites. Israelis need to stop looking for scapegoats elsewhere, and start dealing with their own corrupt and undemocratic government right in Israel.
35. # 8
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.29.09)
Nope, we dont have to deform your post, its deormed from beginning to end.On this forum you are known to be a Jew-hater whether you acknowledge it or not. It is also well known that Obama is pro-Islamic. We are just telling it, as it is.
36. # 9
Israel Forever ,   Israel   (11.29.09)
You just may be correct. I hope you are.
37. Why we do not trust Obama.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (11.29.09)
Obama reaffirmed a UN-style moral equivalence between Palestinian terrorists who systematically and intentionally abuse their civilians as human-shield and target Israeli civilians on one hand, and the Israel Defense Force which is confronted by such terrorism on the other hand. President Obama also reinforced UN-style moral equivalence between Palestinian terrorism and hate education on one hand, and Jewish communities in Judea & Samaria on the other hand. Once again, there was the implicit message that Jewish communities in Judea & Samaria trigger Palestinian terrorism and constitute an obstacle to peace. Can we trust Obama ? http://xrl.us/bfq9c8
38. America's Jews
Dan ,   USA   (11.29.09)
The joke is on America's Jews who supported Obama, gave huge sums of money to Obama ( Penny Pritzker), and voted for him overwhelmingly. Most of them are liberal enough or dumb enough to bankroll him and vote for him again.
39. Obama is no friend of Israel
Nancy ,   L.A., USA   (11.29.09)
I'm an American & a Christian, and believe that Obama is an anti-semitic. The proof is in who he has sorrounded himself with & those ("Czars") appointed to his admininistration It's so very dissapointing that PM Netanyahu has caved to any demands from this evil administration.
40. #29 are you really such a fool?
Frank ,   Israel   (11.29.09)
Are you really sooooo stupid? Giving money to the Jews? Come on, Israel has a diverse population and it only goes to the Jews? 1967 borders? Read a little history, get some FACTS. If you wish to speak about occupying forces, which Indian tribal land do you live on? We at least have been here for thousands of years, we have not only a physical claim, moral claim, but if you would also like to throw in, a biblical claim. What do you have? Murdering Indians to steal their lands, oil, gas and every natural resource they have. Even if you were to even think that, what about the fact that war happened, what 4 times, and what about the idea of we won it is now ours...You attacked the indians, stole and murdered in what Americans love to call their manifest destiny. Please when you are ready to give up your home to the people you stole it from years ago, then you can come to talk to me (even though we stole nothing) but come and speak to me and I will tell you what a good boy you are. As to the billions given? Well these are mostly credits where we buy from american companies CREATING JOBS for americans...but what do you care about facts. You buy the CNN, BBC Liberal crap that is frankly a lie! Yes, the newspapers and media in the US lie. You got obama, doesn't that tell you something. You have Iraq and Afganistan. What about Guam and all your occupying military bases overseas? You know, maybe Israel is not the problem, maybe it is american arrogance and colonialization that is causing the problem. That and never standing up for those principles you think you believe in, like Jefferson, Washington and all those other slave owners. But we will not let facts get in the way. For every Jewish wrong that was done I can point to 100 wrongs against us, so please don't start with the "bloodletting" LOOK AT THE FACTS and if you are honest you will see the truth based on the facts, not the truth that came from repeated lies...stop being stupid and look to the facts....
41. Paco Is 100% right
Alon ,   LA   (11.29.09)
i think we Jews are taking this anti Israel & anti-Semitic statement to far, when people don't agree with Israel's political policies that makes them automatically a anti Semitic, really is this what we as an intellectual tribe have become.
42. FO God's sake, enough is enough!
Taner ,   New York   (11.29.09)
When will the Muslims realize Israel is not going anywhere and will be here forever? WHen will Israel realize Palestinians are not going anywhere and will be here forever? When will these folks realize they are nothing but the same... HUMANS... And get together and work together for a prosper future for all? As a Kurd I am ashamed for what is going on in the Middle East!
43. Good morning USA .Israel,the writing
Eric.. ,   Israel..   (11.29.09)
was on the wall.All those liberal Jews that voted for Obama and all Americans,your all going too wish Bush was back in the white house.He new the danger of the muslim fundamentalist.word
44. Is that paranoia I smell in the air?
Cameron ,   USA   (11.29.09)
Or just Israel & the US blindly taking eachother for granted, as always? Permanence is elusive Affairs alter. The wheel turns. Israelis have gotten a jolt to the system with the Obama crew, just as we in the States had one when the Soviet Union collapsed, and the brooding sourness of W. Europe to the US came rippling out. Though the Obama years will be a wretched mess , I do believe a healthier, more balanced, view of eachother will be one of the few positive legacies from it.
45. no friend of Israel
Mark ,   United States   (11.29.09)
No, not anti-semitic..but not a friend of Israel..how can he be having listened to the rantings of Rev. Wright? He's a politician with no experience in foreign affairs, no history of any affinity or understanding of Israel, and a muslim father and perhaps step-father. And, he said to the NAACP that Americans are distrustful of moslems because of how they worship God (a ridiculous reason). That speaks volumes.
46. #29
nelu ,   portland usa   (11.29.09)
ur an idiot for voting for obama...,and a biger idiot for still supporting him...i think ur a muslem in the closet just like the guy u voted for
47. Greatest president ever for Israel and Jews
Zohari be ,   San Diego CA USA   (11.29.09)
...but the narrow minded bigots of the right wing luxuriate in hate speech. May your vicious tongues cling to the roofs of your self righteous mouths. May Obama continue to be blessed with courage!
48. Many foreign Jews are now rethinking moving to Israel
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (11.29.09)
This freeze may slow down the number of foreign Jews coming to Israel for years.
49. It is sad Obama, who could have acted differently, brought
Yafa ,   Bethesda, MD USA   (11.29.09)
upon himself the amount and intensity of bad feeling so many Jews around the world hold toward him. As I recall, this began primarily when he justified Israel's existence to the Holocaust instead of to thousands of years of Jewish affinity to the Land of Israel and Jerusalem which was finally expressed in the Balfour Declaration and the League of Nations decisions, both long before the Holocaust. It continued in various ways but intensified when he demanded that Jews may not build their homes in Jerusalem, our eternal capital, and for no other reason but for us being Jewish. Perhaps some homework would have helped, but perhaps not...
50. Let me break this down...
Jon ,   Israel   (11.29.09)
First off, most of the people that are on this site are over zealous American Jews, not Israelis. Here's the thing, Israelis don't go yelling "Anti Semite" to everyone. There are no illegal settlements, simply land we took in war after being attacked. If our government chooses to give it back and has a majority vote behind it, that's what will happen. Obama doesn't hate Jews or Israel, he is just a liberal who like using the phrase "redistribution of wealth" far too often. If I were American, I would be on forums trying to fight a socialist reform in my country, not worried about what Israel or Arabs think about you.
51. I think Obama's decision to reestablish US gov't...
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (11.29.09)
...support of stem cell research will help a lot of Jews in the United States.
52. %50 - Jon, the people that post on here
AY_Lamb ,   Globestan   (11.29.09)
are predominantly American christian evangelicals that must identify themselves as Jews for two reasons. 1. If they don't; the obvious verisimilitude/veracity of their belief system becomes unbearably obvious. 2. christian evangelicals are by nature "fascist hegemons" that perpetually engage in democide against anyone that doesn't accept their "anthro-truth" Now their new "modus operandi" is calling other groups "Nazi" or "Fascist" or "reverse bigots" or "hate-mongers" - and all this is, because to them if you don't accept their ways as superior - oh well they equate that as a persecution and then they go completely psychotic. I don't live in the Medinat Yisrael but, it wouldn't surprise me if the "privileged minority" there isn't adopting the same MO. Except there the Anti-Semites are calling others Anti-Semites. It is a simple predictable ploy that I knew the sex-violence impaired would attempt to exploit for their own deranged benefit. Look how much they though Prejean’s and Palin’s mug into the camera, for crying out loud they are complete idiots.
53. republicans in america have lost
AY_Lamb ,   Globestan   (11.29.09)
that which they covet most (power) and now they've gone completely postal. For crying out loud they are trying to bring carrie prejeans into their party as a candidate. When she meeted the Don" giggle giggle giggle I Love Jesus
54. bunch of fools
Ben Miron ,   Israel   (11.29.09)
accuse all world for their mistakes
55. To: No. 41
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.29.09)
I can't speak for all Jews, but I can tell you that THIS Jew took her cues from all that reaching out to the Islamic and Arab countries to which Obama devoted the first nine months of his presidency, his refusal to distance himself from his notoriously Jew-hating spiritual advisor and his strident insistence on forcing Israel to accede to a two-state solution without knowing the facts or the history involved. If that is not anti-Semitism, I am hard-pressed to think what is.
56. To: No. 28
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.29.09)
You are wrong. Read here: http://www.globalpolitician.com/24388-israel-jerusalem Pay especially close attention to the section of the treatise which deals with acquisition of non-sovereign land in the course of fighting a defensive war. After you have digested that, here's why you are completely wrong on the issue of settlements: http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Terrorism-+Obstacle+to+Peace/Palestinian+terror+since+2000/Israel-+the+Conflict+and+Peace-+Answers+to+Frequen.htm http://www.jcpa.org/brief/brief2-16.htm http://www.likud.nl/govern87.html You want to avoid those all-encompassing statements when it is clear you lack the factual basis to address these subjects. Unless, that is, you enjoy appearing so woefully uninformed.
57. To: No. 29
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.29.09)
It is obvious from your post that you harbor some major misconceptions with respect to United States foreign aid to Israel. Permit me to address them: 1. At least ten countries and the Palestine Authority top the list of United States foreign aid recipients. The aid to these recipients takes the form of cash loans (which are never paid back). 2. Israel's foreign aid package has three components. The smallest component takes the form of interest-bearing cash loans. Only two countries in the world have a perfect repayment record with respect to such cash loans. Finland is one. Israel is the other. A second component takes the form of military credits, which must be spent in the United States. Not a bad thing; it keeps a lot of people in the defense industry employed. A side aspect to the arrangement is that Israel is required to share with the United States any improvements it may make. Israel has made many improvements, all of which have been shared with the United States. The third component of the aid package takes the form of joint venture investment capital. These joint ventures between the United States and Israel have produced a whole host of chemotherapy protocols, computer software (including facial recognition software used in virtually every U.S. airport), MRI technology and all manner of extremely beneficial discoveries and improvements, particularly in medicine and information technology. As to your insistence that Israel return to its 1967 borders, I must point out that there is absolutely no basis in international law for Israel to do so. There have been six wars -- all of them started by the Arabs and won by Israel -- and sixty-one years of terror. Here is a treatise which explains quite clearly why Israel's presence in Judea and Samaria is fully legal under all recognized international convention. The entire treatise is worth reading, but you may wish merely to scroll down to the section which discusses acquisition of non-sovereign territory in the course of fighting a defensive war: http://www.globalpolitician.com/24388-israel-jerusalem Here you will learn why Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria are fully legal: http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Terrorism-+Obstacle+to+Peace/Palestinian+terror+since+2000/Israel-+the+Conflict+and+Peace-+Answers+to+Frequen.htm http://www.jcpa.org/brief/brief2-16.htm http://www.likud.nl/govern87.html Please don't feel badly, Daniel. Most people are just as poorly informed and hidebound by prejudice as you are. The key is to learn from your mistakes, and not repeat them.
58. They are anti-Jewish
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim,   (11.29.09)
B"H Of course the Hussein Obama administration is anti-Jewish. Any policy that is based on restricting the Jews only to live in a given area (Judenrein, cleansed of Jews) is an anti-Jewish policy. Barak, Mofaz, Livni AND Netanyahu are as anti-Jewish as the American Jews who voted for president Hussein Obama. See http://drybonesblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/no-jews-allowed.html and read the comments there.
59. Am Israel Hai ve Kayam
James ,   Herzeliya   (11.29.09)
Israel is waking up.... We will not allow another country to dictate to us what , where and how we should live our lives. This new movement of anti-americanism will accellerate the process of our breakaway from this bankrupt obese liberal war mongering country that wastes 25% of the world natural resources and support despots and dictators just so that they can get a few more barrels of oil. If you look at history every empire's decline statred with a incompetent leader. Your days as a superpower are over. Keep your money, keep your votes and keep your weapons to yourself americans. We don;t need you and certainly WE DON'T WANT YOU. Jews have been around long before you came into existance and we shall be around long after your departure from the world's stage. Am Israel Hai ve Kayam
60. And Netanyahu?
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim,   (11.29.09)
B"H And Netanyahu? Is he a friend of the Jews? Or a traitor like Sharon was? I don't understand how Feiglin and Sackett can still justify signing people up to Likud: anti-Jewish fools. Feiglin, Sackett, stop trying to be clever. Come out from Likud, unite with National Union and BE National Union. A clear-cut choice people can go for. Even if chances are they'll change the rules of the game, in the middle of the game, in case of success.
