31. Excuse me, Obama ?...
Paul ,   USA   (03.26.10)
They have some set of balls ! I am hoping that Obama gets impeached before he does any more damage to US / Israeli relations. I tried to keep an open mind, when he was elected, but he has turned out to be the disappointment that I expected. Hey Obama - worry about things here first, and leave the Israelis alone !
32. Obama attempts Israeli regime change
Craig ,   L.A., USA   (03.26.10)
I do not believe Obama is 'nuts', but I do believe he may indeed bu wicked...and he is definately pro-Islamic, which could be expected considering his upbringing. He is no Christian, of that I am certain. Obama is hoping to force a collapse of Netanyahu's coalition. Israelis better rally behind your leader...Obama will sell you down the river with a smirk on his face as he does so. Israelis...prepare yourselves for a dreadful conflict. You can stand strong now and defy Americas newly elected Marxist thug, or you can buckle under and fight from an even more weakened position later. I believe Obama is close to facing open revolt in America as people realize who they have elected. Americans, by and large, support Israel and don't believe Jerusalem should be divided. The real trouble is a majority of Israel has embraced secular liberalism in place of Judaism. Seek your God Israel..humble yourselves, repent and pray. Alas...it is already fortold that Israel will mistakenly make a deal with the incarnate devil. But each Jew individually can still return to your faith and seek God. Terrible deception and turmoil is coming for the whole world...individually you can escape though. At the worst hour, in near the last moment, your nation will indeed repent and be delivered when they acknowledge their offense. It is written and it shall be so. May God Bless the Jews and be merciful in the coming turmoil.
33. Israel would be idiotic to accept
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (03.26.10)
Livni would be a US agent and such arrangements if accepted would make Israel a 51st state under the control of Obama.Then I believe most Israelis would call for the overthrow of the government to retake Israel. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com
34. This can't be true
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (03.26.10)
If it is Israel will be in real trouble. Israeli leaders have to say NO Period to any more concessions. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com
35. Israel is a sovereign country
Brod ,   USA   (03.26.10)
Israel should just say NO to them. Since they are using their dirty tactic of divide and rule by getting Kadima to adance their agenda, Israel's government should also be courting the Republican and meeting Opposition leaders like Sarah Palin and Mit Romney to defend Israel from Obama's meddling in its internal affairs.
36. balagan
mary ,   philippine   (03.26.10)
asur latet hyerusalym its written on the bible.obama is half muslim.so he want to give yerusalym.why he can adopt all palestinian in his country its better
37. No Drama Obama Osama
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (03.26.10)
Dear President of the United States, you have many opinions for having such a small brain and fragile intellect. How can you demand that the victims of Hitler cannot build where ever they wish in their ancestral homeland of Israel in which they have lived for the past 4000 years? And how can you soften the pressure on Iran - the heir of Nazi Germany? Obama should be more concerned with the high unemployment rates in America and the weak economy. Democrats usually win elections if the economy is good and usually lose them when the economy is bad. So if you think that pressuring Israel will make you get Israel to give up its sovereignty and to earn a second Presidency, you should reconsider - it ain't gonna work. Now, No Drama Obama Osama, you and your Communist Government may "pressure" Israel as much as you want to, but we will just continue bulding, building and building and the pressure will be in your stomache...
38. abu dis
jew ,   raanana, israel   (03.26.10)
If the Pals were ready to finally accept the UN partition plan idea -- that there be two states for two peoples, one jewish and one arab -- Israel would probably compromise on abu-dis. so, if israel agrees to accept the idea of a pal state with abu dis as its capital, is this the end of the conflict? until the conflict is over, or at least a framework is created to define the end of the conflict, why should israel give anything? israel has already given too much. israel already pulled out of gaza and three governments have publicly declared the goal of establishing a palestinian arab state. and the pals have pocketed those concessions and have not reciprocated by recognizing the goal of establishing a jewish state, since they have no incentive to give up anything.
39. Obama and Netanyahu
Jason Lieberman ,   New York, New York   (03.26.10)
What a difference these two men are. Obama is loved and favored by the world, who speaks with eloquence and grand visions. Then there is a Netahyahu, a petty narrow minded person, who has no comprehension of the injustice of the occupation on the lives of the Palestinians. That is also the difference between America and Israel.
40. Let the USA put the pally state next to washington DC to
Moshe ,   usa   (03.26.10)
keep Obumma company. Moshe
41. news flash
meni   (03.26.10)
March 23, 2010 By The Associated Press Shana Habbab (AP White House Correspondent) (AP) "An unidentified Israeli official has confirmed that private discussions between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu included a strong request from the President that the upcoming Passover holiday not include the familiar refrain of “next year in Jerusalem”, citing the passage as provocative and unhelpful for future peace talks. The Administration suggested replacing it with “next year in peace” or “next year in Israel”, but leaving the final wording up to both the Israelis and Palestinians. Netanyahu is said to have balked at the request, indicating that the refrain dates back well before the UN Partition of 1947. The Prime Minister reportedly attempted to diffuse the situation by noting that the declaration lacks any political significance, adding that most people living outside of Israel just “say the words without having a real desire to live anywhere in Jerusalem.” He further explained that, “at most, they would like to come for the Passover holiday, but only staying at one of the hotels located in western part of the city.”
42. Bibi and Obama in DC
I speak ,   for myself   (03.26.10)
My friends have expressed alarm and dismay at how Obama treated Bibi. This is NOT how real American Presidents treat their allies. By the way. Obama's father was a British National, and so was Obama, at birth, therefore he is not a Natural Born Citizen (NBC) and is ineligible to be the Prez. He is a one term president. Now that the general population know the goods on him... he will not get away with his deception in 2012. We will be waiting for him with the Constitution in hand, along with all five Supreme Court decisions codifying what an NBC is.
43. US may soon loose its own cities, land !
Jaacov Baumann   (03.26.10)
Because the US government wants Israel to loose cities / land, therefore the USA will soon loose cities / land ! The writing is on the wall ! This US administration is clearly selfdestructive - they should be stopped by US citizens for their own good !
44. Obama
Carl Neubig ,   Houma, LA USA   (03.26.10)
Typical Obama. The "Messiah" believes that all he has to do issue the orders and the world will bend to his will. We. US citizens, made a horrible mistake and elected a narcissistic amateur to a position on the world stage where there is no adult supervision. All I can tell the brave Israeli people is "Hang in there" until 2012 and hope like hell that conservative Americans out number the left radicals and vote the idiots out of office. Carl USA
45. EMBARASSED AS AN AMERICAN
Jon S ,   Washington DC   (03.26.10)
Our president is an absolute disgusting disgrace. How can he literally bow to the Saudi princes and kick our greatest ally to the curb?? This is disgusting and clearly he is trying to interfere with Israeli politics. Disgusting.
46. obama wants israel to give everything up front
zionist ,   miami   (03.26.10)
what will be left to negotiate? this will become the starting point for future negotiations. he is throwing israel to the wolves. why did we all vote for this mental midget? i hope it is not too late when we vote him out in 2012.
47. #.28..SAUDI OIL STILL LARGEST INFLUENCE ON U.S POLICY..
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (03.26.10)
SAUDI OIL BUYS U.S. POLICIES. SAUDI OIL GOT THEM THE AWACS WHEN THEY WANTED THEM FROM THE U.S. THE U.S. GUARDS AND PROTECTS SAUDI ARABIA WITH U.S. TROOPS AND WEAPONS. OBAMA IS NOT THE FIRST PRESIDENT TO BOW TO " KING OF SAUDI ARABIA " , IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR DECADES. THE " OIL LOBBY " IS THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE. " OIL LOBBY " .... AND " OIL " SPEAKS FOR ITSELF AND LEADERS AND PRESIDENTS LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY. THE " OIL " WEAPON AND OIL LOBBY OF ARABIA WITHOUT A DOUBT IS THE SINGLE LARGEST INFLUENCE ON U.S. AND WORLD'S POLICIES.
48. OBAMA SHOULD TREAT SAUDIS LIKE THIS...
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (03.26.10)
MOST OF THE TERRORISTS FROM 9/11 AIR HIJACKINGS AND THE MASS MURDERERS OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS WERE SAUDI ARABIANS. OBAMA, MORE LOGICALLY , AND IN A SANE WORLD, SHOULD HAVE CRITICISED AND OSTRACISED SAUDIA LIKE HE IS NOW DOING TO AN ALLY ISRAEL. BUT IT SEEMS THAT OIL CAN ADVERSLY INFLUENCE ANY LOGIC AND SANITY AS WELL.
49. abu-dis, spirit of saladin !
eporue ,   europe   (03.26.10)
when i read the headline, i felt really enchanted... :) what a nice name for the future palestinian capitol. the al-quds university is there. it was settled by saladins descendants. make the place yours again. make it all what saladin was famous for. i like the idea much. ...looking forward :)
50. For #39 Jason Lieberman
Raoul ,   Herzlia Israel   (03.26.10)
When six million Israeli Jews come knocking on your door, I wonder if you will still feel the same.
51. what a joke Obama makes of himself...
Eyal ,   hasharon Israel   (03.26.10)
The president of the United States,the head of the only superpower of the world,the one who should be the strongest leader on the planet,becomes what?....becomes a member of the building comity of the city of Jerusalem,hahahahahahaha...a comity member who decides whether somebody can build a porch in his house or not....in Jerusalem..hihihihihihi
52. usa-israel matrimony
carlos peres ,   miami, fla, usa   (03.26.10)
If you don't want american intervention is like denying your husband who provides your food, the right to make you a happy woman in bed. right?
53. Obama plans and G-d laughs
Lioness ,   Israel   (03.26.10)
G-d will laugh so loud it will shake America!
54. and the wall
Osama Mansour ,   Palestine   (03.26.10)
the wall should also be destroyed and land shall be returned to its owners
55. #19 - Paco, give your children away to the Sandanistas
William ,   Israel   (03.26.10)
I bet you won't...because of your insatiable greed.
56. #28 - You can tell which congressmen represent citizens
William ,   Israel   (03.26.10)
Those are the ones that follow the popular support of Americans, as cited in many polls, to support Israel and be wary of the "palestinians". Those that aren't following their constituents are those who supported the growing relationship with the Saudis and strongly voted for the healthcare bill. See? It's not so hard after all...once you get your head out of your arse.
57. #39 - Hahaha, drinking from the Leftist koolaid
William ,   Israel   (03.26.10)
"Obama is loved and favored by the world, who speaks with eloquence and grand visions." You got one thing right - Obama does speak with eloquence and grand visions, but his popularity among even the most hopeful of foreigners has dropped considerable. You'd know that if you weren't still celebrating Obama election victory that ended 4 months ago. Many foreigners were polled several times over the past 2 months and cited they lost their hope in this person they once had and don't see much coming from his presidency in the near future. Actually, there is one group that are hopeful for Obama on just that platform that nothing will get done - the Iranians and the "palestinians". They both know that Obama will never challenge them, so they do as they please. Speaking of "doing as they please", the "palestinians" just fired another rocket at civilians in Israel. Considering this so-called "injustice of the occupation", one would say the injustice of the Israeli children in Ashdod and Sderot, including that Thai farm worker who got killed, because Hamas puts all of their cash towards weapons instead of an economy, is more of an injustice. You'd know that if you had any semblance of humanity, something Liberals gave up a long time ago. Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw yesterday - "annoy a Liberal...succeed in life"
58. #54 - only after the reason for wall is gone
William ,   Israel   (03.26.10)
Remember 1999 when there was no wall there and you got to travel to Tel Aviv to sit on the beach, or to relatives in Haifa, unimpeded? Well, that all changed the minute you found it fun to blow up women and children in buses and slaughter families at a Passover meal. Until your racist hatred and basically dark souls change for the better, you might want to get used to looking at that wall. And when the day comes, better have your land deeds ready, because we certainly aren't taking your word for it.
59. I am so disappointed...
aline ,   israel   (03.26.10)
Had I been American , I too would have voted for Obama. He sounded so promising...At last we thought that America was becoming a real democracy with a coloured man as a president. However except for his health plan what has he got to show for? American soldiers are still in Irak, no real problem has been solved and now he wants to interfere in our politics without understanding what he is doing....I still believe that he isn't a bad person but he doesn't seem to know much about the problem. Unfortunately, the Israeli left sides with him. This fact has always puzzled me: How can a " so -called left " side with a "capitalist" country? I am not anti American but it is far from representing a " dream" world for leftist people with its aggressive capitalistic policy etc....but left and right do not mean anything any more!!!!!
60. US is trying to push to far and will fail
Ilan ,   Ariel   (03.26.10)
There is no way that Netanyahu can fulfill their wish list and remain PM. New elections are always a possibility but putting pressure on a democratically elected government in order to cause it to fall will have a back lash effect on all democrats standing for election. Being a pushy bastard doesn't always work Obama.
