31. Every nation that stands against Israel is cursed
Caleb ,   utica, United States   (03.26.10)
Every Nation & individual that goes against God's chosen person (Israel) and is cursed Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Thee in the verse stands for Israel and him stands for any nation or individual that stands against them. America & every nation on the earth let us get it through our heads if we don't support Israel God's is going to judge us. It may not be sudden but you are not going to get away with it forever those who don't support Israel. God gave them that land it is their's not the Palestinian so get of the land Palestinian's give it back to the Jews.
32. Poor analysis and even poorer conclusions
Menachem ,   ISRAEL   (03.26.10)
The demonization and delegitimization of Israel has been going on for decades and has nothing to do with the Netanyahu government. The Obama-administration has a clear anti-Israel ideology with the futile aim of bringing the US closer to the despotic and anti-American regimes in Muslim world. Obama's policy goes against the long-term interests of the US and against the will of the majority of the American people. Yet, one "game" that Israel should have ended long time ago is the international misconception that the existence of a sovereign Jewish state with its capital Jerusalem is something "negotiable". It is NOT and it will NEVER be no matter how Obama and other bigots might protest.
33. #8 - Dream on
Ben ,   Right of Center Penn   (03.26.10)
I guess if pissing on the Poles, Czechs, South Koreans, Taiwanese and Israelis makes him a vituoso, he is one indeed. This man will go down as THE very worst president we have ever had. His Health care triumph will result in a November republican take over of both houses. This "nuclear treaty" with Russia was all concessions on OUR side. I'll grant you that he is a good charismatic speaker and I bet he makes a nice neighbor to have a beer with.. Maybe, but he is otherwise a total and complete disaster for our contry and all western democracies. Let's see what you have to say next November!
34. IT WAS BIBI WHO WAS RUDE
Frank-el ,   Detroit USA   (03.26.10)
How about if Obama flew to Tel Aviv or Jerusalem to a meeting of "America-First Israelis" and defiantly proclaimed (the well known fact) that Isreal spies more on the US than any other "ally" and that he was going to put an end to it. And afterward expect to be treated with pomp and circumstance at Bibi's house with wife #? Just because prior Presidents went out of their way to make Israeli politicians feel like A-listers doesn't mean Obama should follow their boot licking approach. The US's best and closest ally, Canada, gets kicked around a fair bit by the US and they don't cry and pee their pants like Israel. Maybe Bibi should go to Palm Beach and join Bernie Madoff's country club or jet out to LA and hang with the Hollyweird Jews if he wants to feel important.
35. Obama
R. ,   USA   (03.26.10)
Obama does not represent most Americans or their position towards Israel. I am ashamed of the way Obama and his administration have treated Israel. Genesis 12:3-"I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." G-d have mercy on our country!
36. response to #23 John, Boston USA...
R. ,   USA   (03.26.10)
Please speak for yourself and pray that God will give you the discernment to see the truth regarding this matter concerning Israel.
37. Michael Hess, you are soooo wrong.
I speak ,   for myself   (03.26.10)
"The racism and the vitriol have now turned into domestic terrorism against Democrats. The GOP is painted with responsibility, with Glenn Beck et al." FYI... The people who shouted racial slurs as Pelosi and her cabal as they marched by were plants in the crowd. Pelosi knew about it in advance, that is why she lead them into the crowd of Tea Partiers. In other words, it was a setup. The Demos know they are in trouble and they are staging these "acts" themselves to "paint the Repubs". It is a very old trick. The Nazis used it against the Jews so many times in 1930's Germany. I sincerely hope American Jews are now realizing the truth about Obama. Beware the crash of 2010.
38. So what?!!!!
jake ,   cleveland usa   (03.26.10)
who cares. Israel is strong! Very strong!!! We will bend but never break. Go BB! From strength to strength, don't give in to any pressure!!!!!!!
39. US will pay a heavy price - they are foolish !
Jaacov Baumann   (03.26.10)
Only fools are messing up with Israel ! History shows more than clear that all those fighting Israel are paying a heavy price ! US citizens deserve a better government than the present one ! US citizens deserve a democratic system - not a dictatorship of a small / powerfull group ! To the US citizens : Either you change the political situation in your country or you will bear the consequences ! The majority of US citizens support Is Israel, but the government fights it - so the US citizens have to change the administration in order not to bear the consequences of the wrongdoing of the government ! Many in the US know exactly that thats the truth - know you have to act or you pay !
40. The Frog and Buffalo
George ,   Canada   (03.26.10)
Netanyahu attitude makes me remember the chateaubriand fairy tale about the frog and buffalo. Where a frog admired by the buffalo size tried to oversize itself by inflating air thinking can reach the buffalo size. It ends up blown up. Netanyahu can full his chest with air as much as he can at the AIPAC tribune Recent Israeli government acting if Israel were America and America is Israel by size and means exactly like a frog. They often forget who is feeding who and if without Israel America is doomed.
41. Obama
Chirs   (03.26.10)
Obama hates your PM because he was a regular on Fox News a number of years ago.
42. AK, you cannot restart peace process with terrorists
AK ,   NY   (03.26.10)
You must have two parties wishing peace for peace talks to be successful. It is obvious that despite Israel's best efforts they are faced with various Arab terrorists entities and Arab terror supporting states, but no peace partner. We already had the failed Oslo 'peace' process. Enough. Jews are not supposed to be that stupid to keep going the same failed rout over and over again.
43. Toni from Houston
AK   (03.26.10)
So, you think that Obama is right to support terrorist Arabs who murdered Americans and handed out candies when Arabs flew planes into WTC over Israeli Jews? Are you working for Saudis, or something?
44. John from Boston
AK   (03.26.10)
It take a special kind of hypocrite to claim that Israel is a human rights offender when people are truly being murdered, imprisoned subjugated and having their rights truly violated. Take any Muslim country, for example, where it is a crime to renounce Islam and choose a different religion. That is a true human rights violation. As a matter of fact, there is not one Muslim country, not even Turkey, were a person can convert out of Islam and still remain free and safe. America's Muslim friends have a horrible human rights records, yet people like you keep obsessing over Israel's imaginary crimes. have you stopped to think why Sudanese Black refugees prefer to come to Israel and not remain in Egypt, that 'moderate' bastions 'international law and human rights?'
45. Questions
Franklin ,   Orlando, Fl   (03.26.10)
What would happen to Israel if the US pulled the plug on all the aid - economic, military, and otherwise (ie: committment to it's security)? What would America gain and lose by severing this relationship? What would make America sever this relationship?
46. Haber, whose side are you and Israel's Left on?
AK ,   NY   (03.26.10)
You brought Israel the Oslo disaster and brought terrorists within Israel's borders and gave them a country. You messed up so badly that you ought to just keep quiet and support Bibi.
47. Frank-el - what's with your anti-Semitic rant?
AK ,   NY   (03.26.10)
48. to 11
habiba ,   jerusalem   (03.26.10)
iit is woman to man haber ..... do you think if israil was presented in 2nd ww these 6 milion will be alive.. may be you are right but now it is not right it is a different time that israil is on america shoulders but sure it is so easy to put it down .i think more that israil is on the shoulders of un. easy to put it down and do you think the palastinians can not do the job wait another 60 years to see it would be a different time ..when you climb a tree you may find someone to help you but on shoulders evry one will help to get rid of this weight
49. to 15
samia ,   jerusalem   (03.26.10)
come here to israil its goverment do evry impossible for its voter . but sure i have no right to vote so i asked for the possibility only and i did not find any
50. to 40
samia ,   jerusalem   (03.26.10)
good story but i have a better one it is the fly can hurt the eye of a lion but do not know what the lion can do ...
51. Please negotiate
Steve ,   Denver, USA   (03.26.10)
I'm Jewish and living in the US. Now, I'm not religious, but I do consider myself ethnically Jewish. I voted for Obama and consider him an extremely well educated man. And insulting the President that just passed health insurance reform which will help millions of poor people will not get you anywhere. While I understand your frustration, I do believe the only path forward is a negotiated peace. Simple numbers dictate that the Palestinian population will far outstrip Israels' within a few decades. Do you believe that it's possible to keep the current situation going forever? Especially, with all the fanatic states surrounding Israel. Sooner or later the situation will explode, and their is no guarantee that Israel will survive. So I am asking the people of Israel to compromise and find peace. It is the only way forward. Steve
52. Its all a waste of time: There'll be a war soon anyway
(03.26.10)
Obama will push and weaken Israel only to embolden the enemy...and they ARE the enemy. America's support wont help Israel when all the region's enemies attack. We'll all have ourselves a nice nuclear war. Appeasing mindless religious fanatics is a waste of time. Its them or us....as they have been telling us.
53. Oh that's why!
James ,   Miami, Fl. USA   (03.26.10)
Oh thats why. And here I thought it was because Bibi is arrogant and insists that America cannot tell Israel what to do despite the billions and billions in aid and the security umbrella; or perhaps it was because Israel deliberatly insulted Biden. Your right. It was because he was a guest on Fox News. Thanks for clearing that up.
54. How do we stop this guy
Josh   (03.26.10)
Obama is not a friend of israel, Search for and JOIN THIS FACEBOOK GROUP: "As a pro-Israel Jew, I cannot and will not vote for Barack Obama in 2012" JOIN THIS FACEBOOK GROUP AND INVITE YOUR FRIENDS
55. By night, through the backdoor, like a rat.
Nora Tel Aviv   (03.26.10)
Obama, day by day, you are becoming more "Hussein". Israel will not forget your insult. Wait for November.
56. Remember the Turkish ambassador?
Elisabeth ,   Amsterdam   (03.26.10)
Stop whining. Obama did not seat Netanyahu on a low chair and invited cameras in to film that.
57. Israel has to define herself and defend herself
Michael   (03.26.10)
likee any other nation. It is not Nentanyahu, the world will never accept full emancipation of the Jew. Now we are in the month of the exodus we must find the courage of our forefathers and stand firm. Today Jerusalem and tomorrow obama will demand tel aviv. Arafat;'s phase plan has now been incorportaed by obama. Left and Right must stand united the alternative is unspeakable
58. #54 - why did you vote for obama in the first place?
mira ,   israel   (03.26.10)
59. Is Michael Hess the former BBC?
Israeli 2   (03.26.10)
60. #26
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.26.10)
is Obama anti-Jew: He says his mentor was "Reverend" Wright, he believes that Jewish history began with the European Holocaust and he bowed to the racist Saudi King who says that Jews will dirty Saudi Arabia if they visit. That makes him anti-Jew Arab state is Israel's national interest Your opinion, but Israeli voters and government don't think so. Obama does not care, he cares only about American national interest No Israel Everyone knows that the 1948 borders are indefensible. Obama insists to start negotiations after Israel has retreated to the 1948 borders. He is not stupid, he knows that Israel can't exist with such borders. Hussein Obama That is his name Domestic Terrorism The Extreme Left always stifles free speech by calling it terrorism. Soon we will hear how their is a rumor that Obama will be killed and that any criticism is inciting it.
