31. You hypocrit - you will fail terribly !
Jaacov Baumann   (03.29.10)
All those fighting Israel ( or supporting those who fight Israel) will fail ! Mr Obama will fail personally - the USA will fail as a nation ! The writing is clearly on the wall !
32. Please be silent Mr. Hussein
Johnny ,   Stockholm Sweden   (03.29.10)
33. Jews don't need your message
Mark Bernadiner ,   Pearland, USA   (03.29.10)
Obama, throw your hypocritic message to garbage. We don't need anything from you, as you are the LIAR and keeps knife behind your back to cut ours throats.
34. Venomous replies:
Mikael ,   Europe   (03.29.10)
I wonder if Obamas outreach to the Muslim people from Cairo was met with this much distaste? Did you people ever touch on the possibility that he is not a Jew hater? That he does accept the Bible as the first testament and is seriously working for your own good even thou you don’t know it yourself?
35. HYPOCRITE!!!
raymond   (03.30.10)
36. Obama speaks with forked tongue
Agent 007.5 ,   USA   (03.30.10)
If one person was never sincere, it is Obama. Anything for political gain. The verdict is still out if he is muslim Trojan Horse.
37. obama: Next year in WEST Jerusalem...hahahaha
dani   (03.30.10)
"silly jews...think that they can have their own capital. don't they know that even after we divide their city, most of the world will still keep its embassies in tel aviv? i wonder how they'll feel when foreign ambassadors meet palestinians in jerusalem but jews in tel aviv...."
38. Obama to Jews
Frank ,   Canada   (03.30.10)
Next year, don't build in Jerusalem.
39. He's good in making shows. What a bluff he is.

40. He who bows to the Saudi king talks about freedom?
Sad, very sad...   (03.30.10)
41. no. 34 - there is a saying in US
Shaul R ,   USA/Australia   (03.30.10)
which applies to your comments, if they are taken at face value: if it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck (hope explanation is not necessary). What your comments imply, however, is that we, Jews ("you people", as you put it), are somehow more hateful than Muslims and more dim than a casual observer with a below-average intellectual level, analytic skills and understanding of history, such as yourself. That is arrogant and condescending to a point of being offensive, but not too surprising coming from you, given the current state of European mentality.
42. Hussain Obama message to israeli, eventually settle in Egypt
ObL   (03.30.10)
don't settle in Israel.
43. Obama's message is loud and clear...
Persian CAT ,   USA   (03.30.10)
"there is oppression to be fought and freedom to be won." I'm sure he is talking about the extremists who rule Israel and Iran. In Iran's case Islmic despotism and in Israel's case racism, occupation and Apartheid.
44. #33 Mark, you don't speak for the American Jews and...
Persian CAT ,   USA   (03.30.10)
you know it! There are a LOT of American Jews who voted for Obama, they'll vote for him again and they trust him. I feel sorry for a few left-behind rabid fringe who cannot stand him. But then you and others like you can all suck eggs.
45. #34. Michael, this is called Obama meets the fringe...
Persian CAT ,   USA   (03.30.10)
that's all.
46. #28 Sarah B.
David ,   USA, exile   (03.30.10)
Agreed! Even to have the word cross his evil lips is Blasphemy! It is enough to make me cringe and throw up. May this anti-semite and all memory of him and his family be blotted from the memory of all decent people throughout the world. There is no greater insult to HaShem, or to Avraham than to have this man open his mouth in utterance of any word remotely connected to Eloheim's Holy People!
47. What arrogance, "Exodus" to him is driving Jews OUT of J'lem
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (03.30.10)
Who does he think he is fooling? Private Hanukah party at White House, closed to the public. Private Seder, closed to the public. Do we know these even take place? Are the White House Easter Egg hunt and Christmas Tree lighting also closed to the public? He can travel to Cairo, Bagdad and Afganistan to deliver messages to the muslims there. Travel to Israel to speak to Israelis as equals, too? Not so much. So much for his message. Perhaps he could remember that the origins of his basement "seder" is that he didn't give his Jewish employees slaving away on his campaign time off to be with their families. Nobody who spends 20 years listening to Reverend Wright's racist drivel feels anything but venom for the Jewish people, and we saw exactly that over the past 2 weeks. We Jews gave this guy the benefit of the doubt once. Never Again. Watch November 2010 elections for a taste.
48. A Change in Feeling (Positive) Towards Obama
Elizabethlynne ,   Dallas, Texas   (03.30.10)
I have been feeling betrayed and angry towards Obama, but on reflection, I believe that he does have a good heart and is doing what he feels best (whether or not it is). I hope that he is a friend of Israel and that the government of Israel will make every effort to improve the relationship on their side.
49. Obama Deserves Respect
Margot ,   Texas   (03.30.10)
I admit to having concerns about Obama, but he is the president of the US and deserves respect. These harsh criticisms are inappropriate and out of line. I believe that he will be a true friend of Israel and do his best for the US. I am a Jewish American, and I honor him.
50. I cannot agree.
Margot ,   Texas   (03.30.10)
His message and his honoring the Jewish people with observing Jewish traditions with a Seder cannot be dismissed. Where is the goodwill that should be shown to Obama? Where is the respect that he deserves? Your criticism is too harsh. He does not deserve this disrespect.
51. As My Grandmother Would Say To Him: "Vey Gehaget!"
David H ,   Marietta USA   (03.30.10)
Or better yet, "May this Schvatzah live in a giant house with a thousand rooms, and have cholera in each of them."
52. Moshiah
Yonatan ,   USA   (03.30.10)
I am not sure its a good thing for him to be hosting a seder. After all, so many of his followers treated him like ha moshiah. And we all know what happened to Yeshu at his seder. It was his last. I don't wish for Barak Hussein Obama to reach such a grizzly end like Yeshu, but I'm just making a humorous observation.
53. Are You ynet Nuts Kidding?
Jim Starky ,   Columbus, USA   (03.30.10)
if obama had his way you Israeli Jews would be drowning in the Med
54. Yes we Can
palestinian America ,   OHIO   (03.30.10)
President Obama could careless about his second Term ,he will put America in the right Track and put you in your appropriate place where you Belong . you can believe your writers ,the man walk on water here . while you were so Busy with your little BS and posturing against the turkish ambassador and the American VP ..the Fayyad Plan for 2 years to palestinian state was approved by the quartet .. Palestine in 2011 ... Happy Pass....for us to be delivered from occupation . then you can kill each other ,who cares ..
55. He makes me ill, too
Abby ,   OP, KS   (03.30.10)
Just when you think you've heard it all ! Is this message from The Great Obama enough for us to grovel at his feet ? He tosses a few morsels to the unworthy masses world wide, a bow here, a curtsy there, a muslim prayer here, a jewish word there, a crumb for the christain, he is The Great one for all the people. He is truly consumed by his ego
56. 34...u and obama can kiss this jew's backside...
(03.30.10)
57. so disrespectful
drew ,   phila usa   (03.30.10)
the sad part is that he doesnt see his actions as pharohish. if he was really interested in freedom he would be shafting the sea of countries in the middle east that actually want to screw the usa.
58. You All Must Know He Doesn't Mean It !
Dan ,   USA   (03.30.10)
He is just pandering to keep the far left liberal Jewish votes in his pocket.
59. WITH "FRIENDS LIKE YOU..."
Frank-el ,   Detroit USA   (03.30.10)
For many posters above, I can only imagine the depths of your hatred for others given your spiteful comments about the leader of your largest benefactor and ally, the US government/people. I think Obama should take his ball and go home. Israel has been a strategic liability for the US so I fully agree that we should disengage, but not for the hateful reasons spouted. You mock the Palestinians for "never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity"...seems like you are doing the same lately yourselves. Your small minded and mean comments (especially from "American" posters) says it all.
60. #34
Jane   (03.30.10)
No, we don't believe he is working for us. Everything he is doing is antithetical to ensuring our survival.
