Ilan ,   Ariel   (03.16.10)
It is called bad cop good cop when there are two interrogators. When there is only one it is called multiple personality disorder.

security!   (03.16.10)

3. Wait for it endlessly.
Shajan ,   India.   (03.16.10)
Obama administration can wait endlessly for it. Israel is not under Obama admiistration. We will call you for the inauguration of the 3rd Temple on Temple Mount.

LAWRENCE ,   SAFED LAND OF FREE   (03.16.10)
Uncle Shimon always could brown-nose with the best of 'em.
7. Did she learn nothing at all as first lady?
Dan ,   Israe   (03.16.10)
Did she learn nothing from her stint as first lady? Are we the side which has not honoured any agreeement they signed? Do we continue to promote violence and terrorism? Did our supporters attack the USA? Maybe she ate poison candies from Shua Arafat?
8. Wait for un annoucement
George ,   Antwerp   (03.16.10)
Tell them the schedule for the construction of the 1600 houses in East Jerusalem will be delayed......by a couple of months.

Roland Seener ,   London England   (03.16.10)
11. Israel's Resolve Is Not At Issue
emanon ,   USA   (03.16.10)
How about pressuring the terrorstinains . . . to stop lobbing rockets at Sedrot? . . . to stop teaching their children to blow themselves up in the middle of Jews? . . . to embrace life, not death?
12. Commitment to peace means first and foremost the acceptance
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.16.10)
of the other's right to be, to exist. Israel has been demanding this acceptance of the Muslim-Arabs yet they categorically refuse. This refusal is in contrast of 62 years of attempting to wipe Israel off the face of earth: by full-scale wars, through a war-of-attrition-through terror, through economic, political and even demographic means. It is pathetic for the American administration to ask Israel to commit to peace - something the people and governments of Israel have been eager to achieve for many decades - yet not to demand of the Muslim-Arabs the simple and most logical step: accept Israel's right to be, to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people. With this attitude on the part of the Americans (Obama?), don't expect Jews, within and without Israel, to show much trust of either the Muslim-Arabs or the Americans.
13. Don't Blame Hillary
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (03.16.10)
It's all that Arab money she and Bill get's from the Arab countries for the Clinton Library and foundation. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com
14. She can wait forever.
Wise Saba ,   Eretz Yisrael   (03.16.10)
We don't take our marching orders from Clinton, Obummer or anyone else. We will build in our unified city of Jerusalem, our eternal capital, whenever & wherever we want.
15. Jew Haters Obama/Clinton Demand Jews ACCEPT Racist Jew Hate
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (03.16.10)
Will U.S. Government Jew haters next declare that it is unacceptable for Jews to live in Washington DC, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and other American cities? And G-D forbid, demand that Jews get out of U.S. cities? Just what is all of this venomous Jew hate leading up to? How much time remains, before SEVERE persecution of Jews begins in America???
16. I propose the Barak(e) Hussein Obama demonstrate his
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.16.10)
commitment to peace. So far, for over a years, he has been engaged in humiliating Israel's prime minister - as if this was his entertaining pass time activity - and in the process humiliated the people of Israel who democratically install the present government in place. He has exhibited lack of knowledge of Jewish history and the affinity of the Jewish people to its homeland, and instead of consulting, he assumed his shallow understanding was enough to speak at Cairo University and justifying Israel's right to exist on the Jewish Holocaust, yet compare the Shoah to events in Gaza. It is high time Obama and his right-hand woman demonstrated their commitment to peace and human rights instead of demanding of Jews, only because they are Jewish, to refrain from residing in certain villages, towns and city neighborhoods, a racist practice passed from America in the 1950s and 1960s with regard to Jews, but is still alive in the minds of Obama and Clinton...!!
17. Clinton
j. bergman ,   brooklyn ny   (03.16.10)
I do not hear the palestinian committing to negotiations without prior conditions. Should Secretary of State Clinton have the palestinians commit to negotiations or should the US give alll the palestians want on a silver platter? Let's get real, The escalation of conflict with Israel will not achieve peace, only greater expectations that AMerica will achieve the Palestinians goals What foriegn diplomacy is this?
18. trust???
jeff   (03.16.10)
israel should show trus? what is she talking about we did it all. we gave up prisoners/terorists. we gave them land, we gave the homes of over 100.000 jews living in Gaza..so now we want to build a few hundred condos and they are freaking out?? they are no good, and lets not forget that.
19. Biden asked the PA not to name a square in Ramallah after a
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.16.10)
mass murderer who is responsible for the mass murder of 37 Jews on a bus in Israel. The whole idea of elevating mass murderers of Jews should light a red light. But if that was not enough, Biden asked and was promised this will not take place. Well, today, a week later there is a square in Ramallah called Dallal Mughrabi, named after to mass murderer. Did Obama's administration react to this act? Of course not, since she only murdered Jews...!!
20. Did you SEE OR VISIT
(03.16.10)
Ramat Shlomo???? Ms Clinton. You and Mr. Biden are being spoon fed by the left and not ONE of you even ASKED or BOTHERED to see this ordinary tranquil neighbourhood. Are you americans building out there in Washington suburbia? Why shame on you.Iif you are, at least call the neighbourhoods Solomon Heights, if you are indeed constructing homes anywhere at all... I hope here in Israel every new sh'choona will contain a Ramat Shlomo. Some of those hi rise monstrosities should also be called Shlomo Heights. At the moment 'Hilary/ Biden Hates' ,( not Heights),would be more suitable. The arabs are building too, good for them. Only the evil left is platzing.
21. Israel is commited to peace. USA commited to "long war"
Bruce Stein ,   Chicago USA   (03.16.10)
EU/US demand no Jews in parts of Jerusalem! ... while the US/EU claim to be at war (Iraq/Afghan) with the same terrorist they demand set up a state on the West Bank/Gaza. One can only conclude that the US/EU soldiers are in fact human sacrifice to the Islime G-d and that this war is in fact a phoney “nice Long lasting War and sell lots of weapons” exactly as I informed every member of congress between 1989-1991. c 1991 getty… We send army men to die fighting people; while we demand that that same enemy/people set up a terror state on the West Bank and Gaza exactly like the States we are fighting/human sacrifice...this is "bazaar… The US: with friends like this who needs enemies... No blacks in my neighborhood, especially no blacks on Pennsylvania Ave! Hurrah for the President for bringing back segregated neighborhoods! The South will rise again; can we have our confederate flag back too? Only if you have a mental disorder is it different.
22.  leaving GAZA wasn't enough???
yehoshua ,   USA   (03.16.10)
Making GAZA JEW free and leaving unconditionally wasn't enough for the world/Barak Hussein. This Wasn't enough of a demonstration that Israel is committed to peace? What short memories the world has. I guess they want the jews to bend over and take it that way.
23. Mind your own business Clinton
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine, IL USA   (03.16.10)
Israel has tried to deal with the 2 year arabs for 60 years. Israel has given everything , but only gets murder and lies from the arabs morons. Clinton and obamass need to pressure the terrorist arabs and quit kissing their BUTTS! Otherwise clinton and obamass can go to hell !
24. Peace commitment
artcohn ,   Palo Alto USA   (03.16.10)
Israel should insist thsist that the PA recognize Israel as the Jewish Statr before there are any more peace talks. The peace talks are meaningless unless the PA does so. After the Fatah Bethlehem convention, with Fatah's recommitment to the destruction of Israel, it is difficult to see why Clinton and Mitchell think that Peace is so close, that all it requires is a building freeze by Isral.
25. Israel should rip up the "peace" process because jordan is
Jordan is palestine   (03.16.10)
the 2nd state created from the british mandate!
26. If obama and co spent half their energy on iran the world
joseph   (03.16.10)
would be a safer place!
27. 3rd Intifada = The Obama Intifada
thank you hussein   (03.16.10)
thank you hussein! you just started a religious war!
28. Israel is not the one causing the violence
KRG ,   Chicago. USA   (03.16.10)
Put the responsibility where it belongs!
29. Complex matter, Clinton ?
Paul ,   USA   (03.16.10)
What's so complex about it, Hillary ? Palestinians riot, spread lies, incite others to violence, name public squares after terrorists, re write history, etc. Doesn't sound too complex to me. But she's " disappointed " with Israel ?
30. Here we go again with the "unshakable bond"
USA   (03.16.10)
"Unshakable bond, unbreakable bond, special relationship" this mombo jumbo sweet talk isn't worth commiting suicide for.
