1. The US is a has-been
Max   (03.26.10)
Now they want to show how powerful they still are by bullying a tiny former ally... By bye USA it's been a good run. Glug glug glug that's the sound of you going down the crapper.
2. PLEASE NOTE THE SOURCE OF THIS INFO...
sttude ham   (03.26.10)
IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!
3. Obama needs to butt out entirely
A Nice Fellow ,   Montreal   (03.26.10)
Put it where the sun don't shine Obama.
4. It's a blatant intervention of theUS in Israel's sovereignty
(03.26.10)
5. Do Nothing
Dan ,   USA   (03.26.10)
Israel should do nothing Obama wants as he will be an ex president in 2012.
6. I see Americans are now in the
Inyaki ,   Bilbao, Basque   (03.26.10)
Israeli coalition building business. This is NOT acceptable. To hell with Abu Diss, to hell with Hebron and to hell with some crazy outposts, but mendling with Israeli politics will of course backfire Are they OUT of their mind? I suggest Israel pay with the same coin by working against the administration on a capitol hill. I now beleive Obama is NUTS.
7. US Pressure
Nelson D'Silva ,   Canada   (03.26.10)
The fact that the US is trying to oust Bibi just because he is not towing Obama's line only goes to show how undemocratic the US has become under the new regime. The US always proclaims that it does not interfere in the internal matters of other countries but this incident clearly indicates how furious their president gets when things don' t go their way. Mr. Natanyahu should continue with the good work he is doing. The Israelis ought to realise that they should not fall prey to US pressure to replace a government that is acting in the interest of Israel. The US is incompetent of protecting itself and will not hesitate to sacrifice any nation if it thinks its own security is being compromised. Obama is trying to cajole the Palestinians in the hope of placating the Arab nations supporting Palestinian statehood. Little does he realise that these Arab nations want to Islamise the world and will not be satisfied with the destruction of Israel. Destruction of Israel is their stepping stone to having a stranglehold on all the chicken hearted Western nations. Please do not succumb to the US pressure.
8. uh, what?
dan   (03.26.10)
yeah, lets make the israelis make all the concessions at the beginning of the negotiations. then, at the end of the negotations, when the palestinians demand the right to settle millions of palestinians in israel, and refuse to recognize the right of the jewish state to exist, it won't matter anway. FUHGET IT. There is no reason why israel should budge on this. and, in fact, obama has over played his hand. everybody can see that this is excessive pressure on israel. obama and the democrats will get punished for this and lots of other things in 8 months time...
9. israeli-palestinian crisis.
sjoerd van der velde ,   hoorn- the netherlan   (03.26.10)
whether the palestinians should have their own viable, independent and sovereign state ( not like the bantustans/home states in apartheid-south-africa), or the former british mandate-area palestine should become a bi-national state for jews, palestinians etc. possible after a binding referendum held among these groups/peoples and with united nations mediation.
10. Apology
Ellen ,   Israel/USA   (03.26.10)
As an American citizen I am embarrassed and offer my apology to the israeli people. To Bibi--based on this you have to be a fool to allow Livni/Kadima into the coalition. Why gamble on the truth of this message. You stood strong in Washington, now stand strong in Jerusalem. To Obama--you are a disgrace. I didn't vote for you in 2008 and can't wait to vote against you in 2012!
11. Obama and Leftist thugs
Frank ,   Canada   (03.26.10)
Obama supports all Leftist thugs worldwide such as Castro, Chavez, ... That's why he is supporting corrupted Kadima leaders.
12. "Palestinian sources told Ynet Thursday"...
flyingdoc57 ,   Florida, U.S.A.   (03.26.10)
...Need I say more?
13. Israel must reject Obama's Chicago thug politics.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.26.10)
Obama has no right telling Israel what to do. He'd never order any other nation around like this. Obama is a terrible bully and appeasing him is the worst course of action Israel could take. Israel must reject Obama's Chicago thug politics and act like the sovereign nation we are.
14. Obama Interference
Louis Fried ,   Woodbridge   (03.26.10)
This clown must stop his meddling in the internal politics of an independent nation. And the worst thing for Livni is Obama's endorsement.
15. Bibi must clearly reject the Two State Final Solution.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.26.10)
By agreeing to the settlement freeze, Bibi has demonstrated weakness to the bully Obama. The LAST thing you should do, when confronting a bully, is show weakness. Israel must stand up with total determination for our rights. Bibi must rectify his grave error and clearly reject the monstrous Two State Final Solution. Israel has countless millions of American friends who will help us take on the bully Obama. However, they can't help us till Israel officially rejects the Two State Final Solution.
16. I knew this would happen!
Keren ,   IL-BR   (03.26.10)
This is called blackmail. US is blackmailing Israel with Iran,knowing how serious is the Iran threat to Israel. This is dirty!This is filthy! Obama has had his popular support dropping to mud and he wants to regain support with the old scape goat:the Jew! I tell you something:Israel must be the Rosh,always the Rosh, in the command,because always when Israel acts as the zanav,following the apealing idol called "the world- man made- ideas",it gets into troubles. Israel has no other choice now than saying NO ,because if it says yes,it will be its demise. Sorry to tell you,but it is better to make ,once and for all, some of us to become a Kidush Hashem by our own decision ,and this to be the last time it happens as long as this earth exists,and never ever be a scape goat anymore ,then have them making us make a forced Kidush Hashem, as happened so many times in our history . We must be the Rosh!They must now that they can not bully Israel and they must go away forever! Put the cards,Israel!At any cost,because we have no other chance! It is us or them.And now is the time to show IT IS US,once and for all!!!Israel can not cede one milimiter anymore!No more chance for such a thing!
17. what's the rifle range from abu to ?
rachel ,   chutz4now, home soon   (03.26.10)
i am so confounded that this is allowed to happen. do all yerushalmis get iron domes and other protection? maybe we can daven under the kotel?
18. Obama
shalom ,   USA   (03.26.10)
Obama is taking the United States down into the gutter by his arrogance. Pride brings a man low, and unfortunately his pride is also taking down the US. So many, many foolish mistakes. So many blunders by Obama, Biden, and Hillary. They despise the friends of the US and cottle the enemies of the US. How any Jew could support this President is stupifying. What do Schumer, Boxer, Rahmbo, Axelrod, Wyden, Weiner, etc. etc.. support Obama? Do they want to see Israel destroyed?
19. pure BS, Israel will never hand-in Abu-Dis
Paco ,   Canada   (03.26.10)
the greed of the Israeli gov. will never stop
20. Obama, we will never forget how you dishonored our PM.
The last Israeli ,   United Jerusalem   (03.26.10)
21. Obama's actions aren't simply from incompetence
Adam   (03.26.10)
"According to the US vision, the move will take place as part of reverting to the state that prevailed in the West Bank before the outbreak of the last Intifada." Fitting, considering Obama is hell bent on starting the third intifada.
22. Ok, but that's all - PA capital in Abu Dis
William ,   Israel   (03.26.10)
and the Temple Mount delivered back to Jewish control.
23. Any Demands on The Palestinians?
Frankie Littlehammer ,   New Herstal, TX, US   (03.26.10)
Any demands on the Palestinians?
24. War is looking more attractive
Broomer ,   USA   (03.26.10)
The Palis and Obami is going to try to push very hard to the point where Israel has no choice but to declare war and push the Palis back into Jordan, Syria, or wherever.
25. i have a trade idea
gip   (03.26.10)
give the arabs the village and the u.s. give texas and california to israel. ok that might make no sense, but it is a good idea. what kind of wack job is coming up with giving away israel.
26. what chutzpah!
alan ,   texas   (03.26.10)
Tell Obama to give New Mexico to the mexicans. quid pro quo. If he refuses, tell him to suck up to the arabs with something of his own. Hillary too.
27. "Palestinian sources said"
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (03.26.10)
Obama did not say, Hillary Clinton did not say, no U.S. representative said. It's Palestinians talking out their behinds as usual.
28. #6, ITS 2010, NOT 1910
Frank-el ,   Detroit USA   (03.26.10)
Please join us in the 21'st century and recognize the plain fact, boasted by many an Israeli politician, that Isreal runs the US Congress and has done so for some time. We often can't tell if certain senators and congressmen are representing their USA constituents or Israel. Oh sorry, I forgot the party line that it's the same (US follows Israel, of course). It's amazing what a few shekels and threats of labeling one an "anti-semite" can buy in Washington DC.
29. Hold your ground and give Obama nothing.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (03.26.10)
Obama is not Israel's friend. Neither are Biden and Hillary Clinton. Walk away.
30. Domestic politics
Lorne ,   Montreal   (03.26.10)
Perhaps Obama should focus more on his own coalition building and leave Israeli domestic politics to Israelis. Interesting to see what happens in the mid-terms with Obama campaigning for Kadima...
