1. Bibi's excuse for not attending the summit is pathetic.
Erastus CoupeDeVille ,   Ong's Hat, NJ USA   (04.09.10)
The reason he declined is because he hasn't finished the homework assignment that Obama gave him just before Bibi and Barak bolted from the Whitehouse through the tradesman's entrance.
2. Who're you kidding?
Robert ,   Brisbane, Australia   (04.09.10)
"US says relationship with Israel 'fine'" They should read the abusive and insulting comments by most of the ynet posters. They would then change their opinion.
3. US says relationship with Israel 'fine'
Spencer ,   Israel   (04.09.10)
Why does the Administartion lie? The present US Administarion dislikes Israel and what Israel stands for. Their President, Barak HUSSEIN Obama has shown many times that he supports the enemies fo Israel, who just happen to be the enemies of the USA as well. The relationship between the US Administration and Israel has never been lower since Israel was reborn in 1948.
4. Midterms coming & Obamas image what can they say
zionist forever   (04.09.10)
The Democrats want the jews to think that all the stories about Obama and his hostilities towards Israel was just a storm in a teacup and we are still best friends. As soon as Obama is ready to go all out pressure on Israel to push his beloved peace talks vision and the midterms are over so no open political conflict with Israel that friendship will start to breakdown again. Don't trust Obama Don't trust the Democrats Don't let Obama sell out Americas allies ( not just Israel ) to appease its enemies. Don't vote Democrat because if they don't have such a large majority in Congress suddenly Obama will find he can't just steam roller through any policy he wants and ignoring everybody else.
5. If all is well, why has B.H.Obama has not ceased to...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.09.10)
...humiliate Israel's prime minister for a full year and by so doing one of the most important symbols of Jewish sovereignty - that is the office of the primeministership - Israel's institutions, elected officials and Israel's laws? And if all is so well, why only 4% of the Jewish public in Israel has expressed an approval of the US president. One reason is mentioned above. Another are the words coupled with actions of the president of the US regarding Israel and the Jewish people of which Israel is its nation-state. A third reason is the racism expressed by the president towards Jews by expecting them and only them, for no other reason but the fact that they are Jewish, to refrain from residing in villages, towns and even city neighborhoods. This form of anti-Jewish racism was prevalent in the US into the 1950s and 1960s. These days the "progressive" president and his right hand woman, the "liberal" foreign secretary are attempting to re-introduce it, in the 21st century, into the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people for over 4,000 years. Aren't you ashame to even suggest that all is well...?? At this end not all is well...!! Jehudah Ben-Israel Qatzrin, Israel
6. Without a doubt, Israel is a huge liability to America...
palestinian ,   las vegas, nevada   (04.09.10)
People around the world are now fortunately starting to realize this!
7. P.S. to my previous post:
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.09.10)
Relations between Israel and the US is fine. It is relationships between Israel and the Obama circle of friends and advisers - not even the whole administration - that is bad, very bad from an Israeli point of view. When you, the Obama White House and State Department, don't cease to humiliate my prime minister (for whom incidentally I didn't vote, but he is still my prime minister) and in so doing you put down and trash one of the most important symbols of Jewish sovereignty, things are not fine. When you go back on agreements reached between Israel's government and the US past administration, things are not fine, and incidentally should not be considered fine at your end either. And when you tell Jews, only because they are Jewish - this is a form of racism, you know - to refrain from acquiring their homes in certain areas of town, things are certainly not fine. It is time the Obama administration apologized to the Jewish people as a whole whose nation-state is Israel!!!
8. Sadly, those relations are not "fine"
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (04.09.10)
While Netanyahu and Oren are trying not to aggravate the situation, they are wrong for going along with the pretense that relations are fine - or, in Oren's words, "great". Israel's friends won't call the Administration on this matter if Israel suggests there's no problem. In recent days, we're learning that workers and scientists from Israel's Nuclear Research Center are unable to get study visas to the US, that NRC orders for parts are being held up. This is on top of the many orders for military systems that are being held up for "review". Add to this meetings of foreign advisers pushing for a US (imposed?) solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, and we've got an obvious problem.
9. To #6
Jason ,   Cleveland USA   (04.09.10)
Indeed, its amazing what a non-existant people can see from Nevada!! Its SOOOO obvious, huh Achmed? Spare us all......
10. #1 - Assignment?
Eyal ,   USA   (04.09.10)
Israel is not the US's 51st state, so even if Hussain gave them any assignment, he is going to wait a long time. Go Israel Go, you Greek pathetic looser.
11. Israel is the only democratic and highly
Vardina   (04.09.10)
developed country in the Middle East, surrounded by primitive blood thursty muslim fanatics, therefore she should not sign any agreement which may risk the country's security in case the mentally disturbed Muslim states decide to attack her .
12. #1.Let Obama send his friends thru the "Tradesmen's Entrance
Alan ,   SA   (04.09.10)
13. Barack Hussein Obama: Fully Bows to Saudi Arabian King
Jae ,   Lynn US   (04.09.10)
(you tubed) and metaphorically gives the middle finger to Israel, Bibi, and jews everywhere, except if you are an arse kisser wealthy ignoramus of Judaism and jewish history- then he loves you, right j street?
14. 5 -why the harsh words? no worries u r the future Syrian Jew
Ezra ,   Lond   (04.09.10)
I'm sure you'll have the same rights Israel has gifted the Palestinians
15. #10 - eyal -Yes, Israel is not the US's 51st state
Erastus CoupeDeVille ,   Ong's Hat, NJ USA   (04.09.10)
but I suspect that Israel would very much like to be treated as a US protectorate... like Guam, PuertoRico, etc. But, back to the matter at hand... another reason for Bibi's no-show would be that he can't take another public spanking so soon after the last one... his cheeks are still red and tender.
16. Israel's relations with Americans are fine. Not with Obama.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.09.10)
Americans and Israelis have a natural affinity for each other. Both are true believers in democracy and human dignity. Israel is regarded by most Americans as a valuable ally. Israel's relations with Americans are fine. However, not with Obama. Obama is the most hostile U.S. president Israel has ever faced. Obama is making a horrendous mess of America both domestically and concerning foreign policy. Happily, Obama will be gone soon.
17. Delusional or bald faced liars or fine equals back stab
Bruce Stein ,   Chicago   (04.09.10)
USA demands Taleban/Al Qaeda state for West Bank/Gaza. USA soldiers absolutely sold out, betrayed, and left in the field as human sacrifice; in a war they are jailed for if they do any thing to try and "win".
18. #15 - Erastus
Eyal ,   USA   (04.09.10)
What public spanking are you talking about exactly? Do you even read the news? The one that got the spanking was Obama, it wasn't Natanyahu? Almost every senator whether Dem or Rep voiced there concern of Hussain's unacceptable treatment of Natanyahu? So if you want to get Israel, get your facts and stories together if you find any dummy.
19. to #14 - Syrians dream to have the rights that the
Nahum Korda ,   Ein Ziwan, Israel   (04.09.10)
Palestinians enjoy in Israel
20. America out of the Middle East
Ari ,   Los Angeles   (04.09.10)
Jews and Muslims should unite to end America's Middle Eastern hegemony. The Americanization of this holy region of the world has been a catastrophe for Jewish and Muslim believers in God. Jews and Muslims should put aside their differences with each other, and unite to fight the Rome of our day.
21. Fine for whom,definitely not for Israel
Carlos Murphy ,   Australia   (04.10.10)
22. #6
Evi ,   U.S.A   (04.10.10)
Israel never been liability to America , But America wake up they going fill like France ...You people love to finish with us ,but our God ,be with us and you all find you place in Jordan.......Peace to Israel and the U.S.A
23. EVERYTHINGS FINE!!
HERCULE SAVINIEN ,   EL CAJON SD CA USA   (04.10.10)
EVERYTHINGS FINE!! If and we don't know, if there is anything like NetFlicks in Israel, we suggest the renting of the movie in English well [American/Yank] of Robert DeNeros Everythings Fine and then see it fits this version of Everythings Fine. HERCULE TRIATHLON SAVINIEN
24. palestine meant nothing to the arabs
David ,   Rhode Island   (04.10.10)
Until the Jews bought the land for top dollar and starting from scratch made it into a modern country. For 2000 years it just sat there. Why is Judaism such a threat to you? You already have 22 countries with 400 times the amount of land. That's not enough? Choose a religion that doesn't tell you you have to be king of the world. Oh, you don't even have freedom of religion yet.
25. #15 - When O-bum is tossed out..
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (04.10.10)
on his bum, it will be because of his treatment of the Honourable Netenyahu.
26. #14 Dream on foolish Ezra from..
Joey Rose ,   Portland   (04.10.10)
Muslim occupied London.
27. Anti-Obama Groundswell Building
Craig ,   L.A., USA   (04.10.10)
Obama is trying to pretend all is well...all the while a groundswell of negative reaction is building as a result of his dicatorial behaviour. Obama's approval ratings continue to drop...partly due to his outrageous treatment of Netanyahu.
28. And Obama's relationship with the American population is
Harry Wright ,   UK   (04.10.10)
fine too, that's why they have so many Tea Parties; and that's why so many are challenging him in court. I don't think there has ever been such a controversial US president as Obama. Something is very wrong when so many Americans distrust their own president. Israel should stay very far from this impostor and should not oblige him anymore until he shows his birth certificate as proof that he holds the title of president legally. Even the hated Bush looks better and better every day.
29. Israel not so Naive
Marcel ,   Florida   (04.10.10)
The US used to be able to deceive Israel with ease and the people would swallow them because they were from the dubious,backstabbing,treacherous friend America. Jonathah Pollard's harsh treatment by the US and a weak Israelis leaderships impotence of rescuing him from this deviant friend has awakened many to the status of Israel has #1 lap dog at Obasma's feet to be kicked whenever he has the urge. I think the slaves will get tired of this treatment and cry out to God once again for deliverance from Pharaoh O.
