You may speak Hebrew and be Jewish...but you are a leftist fool, likely a Jew in name only, one who has traded his birthright of Judaism for a bowl of secular liberal jibberish. Singing the praises of a pro-Islamic charlatan in favor of your own homeland and countrymen...you are a disgrace.

The U.S. Federal government has long long ago established a pattern of usurping 'authority' not granted them in the Constitution. Already the Attorneys General of numerous states have filed suit protesting 'ObamaCare' as unconstitutional. Nowhere is the Federal Government granted authority to compel its citizens to purchase anything. The Fat definately lady hasn't sung on this one yet. The Obama administration appears ever more like Hugo Chavez of Venezuela...quickly fades the semblance of legitimacy for this two-bit Marxist oriented union thug.

Orly, Just as you mischaracterize the issues related to US Healthcare Reform, so you misrepresent the reasons for absence of peace in the mideast. Those of us who take care of patients in the emergency rooms in the US know that nobody is turned away from the ER due to inability to pay, or inability to provide proof of insurance....in fact, it is illegal to do so! Furthermore, your assertions regarding inability of the less well-off to receive care is fallacious, and an insult to those of us who, in providing such medical care routinely, reduce our fees or provide care to patients in need without payment. Those of us who opposed Obama's bill (and we are the majority of the US populace) did so because we oppose a government -run system (knowing how poorly the government has run other programs), preferring instead an incremental, targeted approach to address the specific problems that need to be addressed. We are furious that our congressional representatives ignored our wishes, and acted as if we were uncaring of those in need. In viewing the mideast, you act as if the reason for absence of peace is the result of the occupiers refusing to disengage from the occupied. How simplistic! It's as if past offers to relinquish these lands for Palestinian statehood had not been made. Those of us who have watched with open eyes for longer periods of time, understanding the history and the context, understand things differently than you.....I see it as the inability of the Palestinians to accept the Jewish State of Israel under any circumstances, regardless of the territorial confines of that state. Would that I were wrong. Certainly you may disagree, but give those of us with a different point of view a little more credit than simplistically couching it in terms of the occupied and the occupiers. Would you really have us believe that peace would exist if only Israel would disengage? Have you learned nothing from Gaza?

to agree or disagree is still your point ... but the dfferance is ...obama on health care did not say iam the boss but here to israilipm . he said only one word .. it is here iam the boss .. but in israil the palastinians know very well that in health care israil is the best and in political event is the worst .. so it is not real to match between health care and policy in evry where as it is the same and as it is controled by rules

It is sad to see people attacking Obama's colour of his skin. Blacks and Jews have more in common when it comes to enemies. Blacks may be poor and deprived, but those who seek to harm them, hate the Jews too!! (e.g skinheads) Stop using racist comments, you know better how it feels when people attack you because of your identity. The same God who made you a Jew, made Obama black.

It's you right-wingers who are the fools -- especially those of you sitting in the comfort of America ready to fight to the last Israeli for the settlers, the bus segregation-loving Charedim, and the extremism of Lieberman. It's you right-wingers who are guilty of avoda zara, not a Jew like me who hasn't traded anything in, is active in his synagogue etc etc. And I'm sure you probably don't even speak Hebrew, Craig, and can probably barely read it (like most American Jews).

You have 14 states so far who are going to file litigation against this clear abuse of the central government (forcing people to buy something simply because they are born). This is why this is so dangerous. The federal Government has used the commerce clause to abuse states rights since the early part of this century. Many states have seccession movements, because they believe that the federal government is beyond repair.

changed his mind. After talking with our doctor (who is already overworked and overwhelmed with Govt healthcare), who adivsed him this will be a horror show. What has happened to our country where people believe that it is a right for the government to provide benefits to them? LAZY ETHICALLY BANKRUPT PEOPLE!

Remember the president grew up in black liberation theology, which is an offshoot of liberation theology (primarily Catholic) from S. America. They believe that Christanity (predates Karl Marx) is basically the first form of communism, and they use a form marxism to create political social change through redistribution of wealth. Refer to Wilhelm Weitling / League of the Just (where Marx got his ideals) bringing the creators kingdom on earth through redistricbution of wealth. Blessings

obama the socalist who wishes to reduce america to a 3rd world country,(he succeeded so far.. unfotunetly), hates israel and the jews ,period. nothing will papacate this arrogant, rookie, corrupt ,marxist unless america is a socalist country ,and therefore no longer a supporter of israel. bibbi is the only one who can stand in fornt of nobama and remain reslieint and tough. it's our destinly and fate , or we''ll hear the cattle cars' door shut on us again , god forbid.

live like Episcopaleans, but vote like Puerto Ricans." When are we ever going to learn that Communists and liberals like Obama never did any good for the Jews. They just as soon see the Palestinians take over Israel. It be better if the liberal Jews just converted to Islam and got it over with rather than confuse the world with their self hatred.

Right on, Rida! Not to mention that many Jews are black and brown. Typical American Ashkenazi bigotry...

I love seeing my fellow Jews regurgitate conservative Christian and Republican talking points. Have any of you ever heard of Tikkun Olam? Health care is not about redistributing wealth -- how is it redistributing wealth to enable someone with cancer to be able to purchase health insurance and/or not be dropped by the insurance company the minute they get sick? How is it redistributing wealth to ensure that a child is going to be able to have health insurance even with a preexisting condition?

Thanks for the great talkbacks. I am a Palestinain and also think that palestinian are not that wonderful either. But I also believe that what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. Occupation is wrong no body should go through it nobody should be treated like cattle. IT IS WRONG!!! I think it is ironic that Jewish people are the most capable people of in the world to understand the Palestinian blight. Thanks again sir.

You my friends are an example of how religion can make good people do bad things.

The 3 billion in aid is spent in the US not here. You might want to rethink that one. I agree we would be better off without your aid. Now will you stop arming and training our terrorist neighbors too? You have vetoed less than half the illegal UN resolutions, so you might want to rethink that one too. As for the land - well there is thing called international law that says it's ours. And no the Arabs aren't natives. When we pumped money in to improve the land they came and stole our lands. We actual treat them better than they are treated in their home lands. We refuse to die for your President and his racism. Don't like it - TFB

Unfortunately, Israel does not want to just and peaceful solution to the conflict in the Middle East

Hi Yes He Will, I'm also Jewish but am also an orthodox Israeli living in Jerusalem. I just wanted to say: I fully agree with you. Israel is my birthplace and it hurts me that part of Israel’s population is running it against a wall. Not that I think that this government is undemocratic (it was formed after open and transparent elections), but I certainly hope that this coalition will be disbanded rather sooner than: Bibi should form a coalition with Kadima. If Obama can help speed up this process, he certainly has my support! And if new elections come up, I hope that the majory of Israeli’s will not vote for anything more right wing that Likud. P.s. please believe me that the majority of Israelis really don’t identify with settlers in Karnei Shomron. These people usually don’t speak a word of Hebrew and don’t even accept the state of Israel! They are very strange people that hurt the Jewish people more than help the Jewish people. Arik

This article is obviously the sick product of a fawning, deluded leftist mind. It is far from obvious that Obamacare is an "achievement". That is why dozens of U.S. states are filing suit against it. Parts of it could well be unconstitutional. Most Americans still oppose it. Obama's evil plans to divide Israel, and render Israel indefensible and ultimately uninhabitable, are well known. Israel won't EVER let it happen. NO HE CAN"T!

As a committed Zionist...and equally committed atheist, I have to say it's Jews like you who really piss me off with your blind devotion to Barack Obama. Perhaps you've found it possible to overlook his close personal friendship with Rashid Khalidi, the paid mouthpiece for Yasser Arafat, and one of the people who helped form Obama's view of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Or perhaps you weren't terribly troubled by his 20-year long association with Jeremiah Wright, whom he described as his mentor, yet he insists he never heard any of Wright's racist and anti-Semitic diatribes in all those years he attended his church. But, having spent too much of my errant youth on the far left of the political spectrum, I've become familiar with that mindset, and so may prediction is that Obama will not only be bad for Israel...he'll be bad for America

Tikkun Olam is your attempt to compete with Christianity today....the majority of which is now being revealed to be of a very old theological bent (progressive socialism, communism)....espeically since it originally had nothing to do with repairing the world.

Obama' policies have two steps: 1. Do as Obama says. 2. Keep your mouth shut.

when Obama & Co. get done with repairing the world...the US will most likely collapse under the financial burden. When this happens Obama & Co. can then say they would like to help Israel, but they can no longer afford to do it. Do not think this is not intentional. They are stealing from all our children.

I will scream it if necessary Jerusalem is Israeli capital as Washington DC is the American one. Only anti Semites sentiments can justify all this aggressive behaviours against Israel policy in his own land. Jerusalem was neglected and Jewish heritage reduced in ruins, never again this will happen, until Israel exist Jerusalem will be his eternal capital

...you see, the entire world community is well aware that East Jerusalem is indeed an illegal "settlement", it's codified in numerous UN resolutions that Israel's "annexation" of East Jerusalem is illegal and "null and void". The wingnuts are just upset because the Obama administration recognizes these facts unlike his evangelical predecessor... Israel will just have to do with West Jerusalem. After all, Jerusalem was always considered as becoming an international capital because of the importance of the city to the three major monotheistic religions, not just Jews. You see Dani, America does not illegally occupy Washing, DC. Israel however does illegally occupy not just East Jerusalem but also more territory belonging to the Palestinians as well as the Lebanese and Syria. You cannot change those facts of life no matter what you scream...

...of course, that's not unusual for you. Rashid Khalidi simply reflects international consensus and the rule of law, and that seems to incense the wingnuts. Paid "mouthpiece"? Arafat is dead, Bring yourself up to date sweetie. Good! Jeremiah Wright is an anti-Semite? Where do you people get this stuff? Let me explain something very simply to you. You don't even know what an anti-Semite is. Every time you use the term to justify Israeli policy actions that are contrary to international law, YOU are cheapening the very meaning of antisemitism and rendering it completely meaningless. I love you fake "I was liberal before I became conservative" types. President Obama has fulfilled nearly one hundred of his campaign promises already. He got health care reform that eluded Bill Clinton, he just made a major breakthrough with Russia over the reductions of nuclear arms and on and on. I enjoy you denying reality, and I will enjoy when President Obama is reelected,

...passing major health care legislation is a huge achievement for America and President Obama. Don't hang your hat on any constitutional challenge being successful. The US Supreme Court is not going to throw out decades and decades of law precedent just to mollify some rightwing Republicans. Ain't gonna happen. Nearly half of all Americans suport the plan, wrong again. Making up "evil plans" will not help you Chaim, because no one has made any such plan. Israel simply needs to follow international law to achieve peace, and President Obama, probably one of the smartest US President's ever, is going to ensure that Israel does just that. There will be a fair and full settlement Chaim in spite of people like you who are working to take all of the land and drive the Palestinians out. I is you who "can't" - the President of the United States, Barrack Hussein Obama is walking the walk and there's simply nothing you nor Bibi can do about it.

3 very important qualities. It is very good, it is very old and a it is most powerful show stopper. Oh, and if you will decide to twist Israeli hand like you did with your Health Care reform you may lose Israel to China and/or Russia.

thrown out of ERs. Orly is describing Obamas perception. You can argue whether Orly's understanding of Obama is right or wrong if you wish.

to create Judenrein in the future state of Palestine (or whatever the name). Oh, and what is so wrong with Leiberman and Charedim? And what is so right with you?
