St. Joe ,   Jerusalem   (04.09.10)
listen to another round of crap from American officials and just decided to take the high road.
3. Dear Bibi, how is the US entrance visa
Erastus CoupeDeVille ,   Ong's Hat, NJ USA   (04.09.10)

Frank ,   Canada   (04.09.10)
The United Shaheeds of America?
6. Bibi must stop appeasing BHO
Frank ,   Canada   (04.09.10)
He should dispatch a Knesset janitor instead of Meridor to make BHO understand that he is an irrelevant loser.
7. Good for you Bibi!!!
Canadian ,   toronto   (04.09.10)
No need to keep company with them
8. Durban 3, coming right up!
flyingdoc57 ,   Florida, U.S.A.   (04.09.10)
Here come's another Israel-bashing "summit" thinly disguised as something else.
9. what bibi are you afraid of somthing ??

this is a good round for Iran
10. # 1 He dosn't have b*lls _ to say it's a right for Israel
Non   (04.09.10)
11. Yes for the Trip
david cohen ,   china   (04.09.10)
in my opinion Bibi should have went there and tell the world that it is wrong. onlu people like the Islamist Monster Edrogan -who finally took off his mask and revealed his true fundamentalist nature- could equate israel having the Nuclear Bomb to Iran or North Korea. the world, including the US citizens needs to understand this and hear it form our mouth. no one is a better speaker than Bibit o do so. it will be only a matter of a shortwhile for the US to realize that Obama is a foreign agent bread by the Pakistani whose sole aim is to destroy the individuality of America.
12. Bibi is gutless
Resistor   (04.09.10)
Like most jews, he can not bear criticism against "the chosen people who are perfect, and beyond reproach."
13. Netanyahu - bold decison
Joshua Bernstein ,   San Jose, USA   (04.09.10)
Netanyahu realized that the whole affair will likely become an Israel hate bashing. He took a difficult decision to abstain. This shows that Bibi has a backbone and will not be pushed around.
14. Israel has stated time and again: Israel will NOT be the one
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.09.10)
to ever introduce nuclear weapons to the region. This explains the fact that Israel has never threatened the use of nuclear weapons, despite the fact that it has been under a number of existential threats directed at it by its Muslim-Arab neighboring countries. Any attempt to continue to deal with Israel, instead of focusing on Iran's threatening to wipe Israel off the face of earth and with it nearly six million Zionists (i.e. Jews) is a cynical attempt to deal with the essence of the tension in our region.
15. Not Fooled By Obama's Trap
Dan ,   Titusville, FL   (04.09.10)
Obama was hoping to lure PM Netanyahu into a trap in Washington DC. We are now at the very lowest point in the relations between countries with for the first time an openly hostile to Israel & Jews American President elected by Jewish money from Jews who are Democrats unable to accept that FDR is DEAD. Israel hold on, Obama is going to accept a nuclear Iran. If Obama can destroy Israel to get the Palestinians a state he thinks he will make it into the history books alongside his Cracker Jack Box Nobel Prize.
16. Good move, Bibi!
avraham ,   nyc   (04.09.10)
17. Good for you Bibi
mark ,   new York   (04.09.10)
Why would he put himself into that kind of a position. The current president of the US is clearly someone who favors the Arab point of view. Obama is looking to squeeze Israel every chance he gets. No need to make his job easier. Obama will not be around forever but if israel aqueous to his demands they will have to deal with the consequences when Obama is long gone
18. Under current climate of Islamisized Washington it is futile
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor, UK   (04.09.10)
to reason with Jihad sponsors starting with the Muslim in Chief temporarily residing in the White House.
19. Israel can dish it out but can't take it
Ilene ,   Washington, USA   (04.09.10)
This is just the beginning of trying to bring Israel into the community of nations--after all it is Israel who is threatening a first nuclear strike on Iran. That's a no no and hypocritical to boot. We can only assume that Netanyahu does not have a persuasive case to make to the world. This doesn't bode well for Israel.
20. 2012 Can't Come Fast Enough
A.C.Guard ,   USA   (04.09.10)
Don't bow to the Muslim Obama. He will be out of office in 2012.
21. He's right to skip it. It's a setup by Obama
Bill Pearlman ,   New York ,USA   (04.09.10)
22. Take that, Obama, you thug...
Curtis ,   USA   (04.09.10)
Good job of beating the hypocrites at their own game! Israel has already taken too much garbage off of its duplicitous enemies.
23. Who could blame him...?
Paul ,   USA   (04.09.10)
Netanyahu is absolutely correct in his decision not to attend this " summit ". You don't need to be a fortune teller to see exactly what it would turn out to be.
24. No ambiguity once Israel uses them on iran.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (04.09.10)
25. Way da go Bibi, do not go
Eyal ,   USA   (04.09.10)
We are very proud of you, just keep up with the pressure.
26. Right move
Brod ,   USA   (04.09.10)
Netanyahu makes the right move to cancel his plan to attend the meeting. When Islamist-Jihadists are allowed to spew their craps in the meeting, the meeting becomes irrelevant.
27. Bibi just made...
Persian CAT ,   USA   (04.09.10)
Ahmadinejad's case for him. The problem is Natanyahu cannot hide in the closet for ever. Israel has to play by the rules sooner or later.
28. The ostrich...
ace ,   san fran, usa   (04.09.10)
burries its head in the ground..and thinks that no one can see it..
29. International organizations.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (04.09.10)
In the international arena, the automatic majority of Islamic and other radical states guarantees the passage of all anti-Israeli resolutions initiated at international organizations such as the United Nations, no matter how absurd. The so-called United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), which includes the worst tyrannies and rogue states among its leading members, is just one example. People throughout the world unfamiliar with the intricacies of the UN or the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict are bombarded with constant reports of resolutions from a supposedly reputable body condemning Israel as a rogue state. Thus, the false narrative of the Islamic majority, automatically endorsed by compromised international agencies, becomes embedded in the public consciousness. And to try to understand the Middle East : http://xrl.us/bf2r73
30. Obama is ineligible to be president
chizeled ,   The God Blessed U.S.   (04.09.10)
