1. Either the US removes BHO, or God will remove the USA !
Jaacov Baumann   (05.29.10)
''He who curses Israel will be cursed !'' How could the US elect a muslim president ....? Is this divine judgement already? I think yes......
2. It's Simple
Resistor   (05.29.10)
Israel has nukes and Iran doesn't.
3. Thank you, Mr. Obama, for condemning the singling out...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (05.29.10)
...the nation-state of the already singled out people. Yet, you, a "progressive", continue to single out the Jewish people by demanding its members to limit their living space on earth. You have, and continue to demand that Jews, only because they are Jewish, must refrain from living in certain villages, towns and even city neighborhoods of their ancestral homeland. Will you now cease your racist demand of Jews? And, will you apologize to the Jewish people for having singled it out in your racist demand?
4. what do you expect from the UN(Arab League2)
UN = terrorist ,   organization   (05.29.10)
5. #1 I also used to oppose israels policies,and the god of i
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (05.29.10)
israel has cursed me. I can feel it already. Recently,I have developed Hemorrhoids. Could it be that these are the first signs of the curse of the god of israel??
6. Ben # 3
Resistor   (05.29.10)
The answer is NO!!
7. So Obama rejects it but the USA signed it
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & New York   (05.29.10)
Seems to me that Obama is trying to have it both ways. He is against it, but the USA failed to veto it because it mentions Israel and fails to mention Iran. Either he has no control of his team or he is making excuses after the fact. Either way it is not good for the USA or for Israel.
8. 'strongly opposes', 'expresses concern' = nothing
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (05.29.10)
just words from the mouth of a politician, nothing more. worthless would be too kind to describe it.
9. Mr. President:
Nate ,   USA   (05.29.10)
Must I remind you that Iran has already signed the NPT? Also, how much did AIPAC pay you?
10. #3
Nate ,   USA   (05.29.10)
Occupation is illegal. That is all.
11. One step more toward striping Israel off Nukes
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (05.29.10)
Israel lost the game ostriching does not help Your Nukes will be soon taken off by USA and UN All you see in surface , from Turkish PM Erdogan's polemics regarding Israeli Nukes to recent surfacing Peres' nuklear offer to SAfrica managed and controlled from single source: USA and CIA
12. NPT sibling out Israel....
DT ,   TA Israel   (05.29.10)
just like UN, Amnesty Int., Human Rights Watch, IAEA. Has Israel ever thought of saying "No - we want nothing to do with NPT" among other things !?.
13. Public statements mean nothing..
Robert   (05.29.10)
Obama still had the US sign the treaty.
14. President Obama & Vice Hillary will stick around till 2016
Sarah B ,   U.S.A / Israel   (05.29.10)
15. us removes BHO
kengn eje ,   seatac,wa   (05.29.10)
Ha!Ha! Muslim president you mean in the next world
16. Is there another election
(05.29.10)
coming up ? Sounds eerily similar to someone , who, before last US election, declared Jerusalem undivided - that is until after the election. Deja vu ??
17. "...backs Israel security..."
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.29.10)
Yeah just like in Afghanistan and Iraq, right? We cannot depend on anyone but ourselves for National Security.
18. #11 Tayfun_Turkey
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (05.29.10)
If you Turkeys think that Israel has no right to have nukes, why don't you go in and take them away?
19. Yes Obama has singled out Israel for a closing down sale
Alan ,   SA   (05.29.10)
Everything he has said or done since he came to office points to this . I am proud to point out to readers that I wrote in about what I thought would be his future intentions even before he became a Presidential Candidate! Has the world in general improved since he was inaugurated? Has terror in the USA abated since then? So he has changed some nomenclatures and definitions .Big deal Any and every resolution against Israel in any world forum,whether based on truth or fiction will gain traction and be passed during his term of voffice The only thing that will improve will be more White House Seders ,Chanukah Candle Lightings , Famous Jewstooge days, Gefilte Fish Fests and maybe he'll build a Wall bordering the Rose Garden so his Admin's Court Jews can have somewhere to have a quiet tear in private without having to travel to Israel..
20. #5
R ,   Israel   (05.29.10)
Hemorrhoids are often a result of constipation. Drinking lots of water and eating broccoli, prunes, etc. should help. Back to the gut problem, G-d doesn't speak directly to me, nor through me, so I don't know whether your hemorrhoids are on his list of curses, but Ahmedinajad has always looked really constipated. Coincidence?
21. The only reasonable way foward....
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (05.29.10)
is for the nuclear club to welcome Israel to join them in light of past events and certain Arab/Iranian hostile aspirations (If, indeed she has nukes...that is) If she has them, she's been responsible and is worthy of club membership. Refer to '67, '73, '82, '06, '09
22. #7 GOOD COP ,BAD COP
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (05.29.10)
I know their game.
23. In 2012...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.29.10)
Hussein Obumma the then no longer so great, will finally have come down to the status of political oblivion...
24. #5, Sorry Peter but...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.29.10)
the man from Braunau is already waiting for You...
25. To my fellows jews
Yossef ,   Rehovot, Israel   (05.29.10)
don't forget our history ! We cannot rely to anybody: greeks, romans, the Tsar, or americans now. We just need to do what is right for the protection of our people, with whatever we need, atomic bombs if necessary. That's it.
26. The POTUS and his AIDE are right
Zeroing ,   Germany   (05.29.10)
With the exception of UN-Security Council most of UN-Organisations, particularly those who disguise themselves as standing for Human Rights and now pitifully also NPT are Islamists dominated Institutions. Of all proof that they are Islamists dominated is their permanent obsession against the State of Israel. They are as just as against Israel and Jews as the Quran is and the World is still speaking of Human Right Organisations. Those who are persistent in singling out Israel in anything, they usually have undeclared intent of harming it. These are always the same people with the same set of mind; people of the same pattern of knowledge and wisdom and as usually they are either Quran Scholars or Bolshevik Liberals or Neo Nazis or Extreme Bolshevik Left Wingers or brainwashed followers of these groups. These people have never singled out Israel as a highly innovative and a high tech powerhouse, worthy of respect and imitation, but just in the contrary, they are dreaming and waiting for the day when Israel will fall down, either on itself or through their conspiracies and harmful actions. For to demand Israel to drop down its guard, is like asking Thomson’s gazelle on the open plains and grassland of Serengeti to take a long sleep because she is tired, and this even though you know that she will never survive, because of Cheetahs, lions, leopards and other beasts of prey, who would not let this golden chance to go by unnoticed without doing nothing. This time president Obama and Jones have shown the right wisdom.
27. Maybe God will remove you
Eric Goldblum   (05.29.10)
Thats the ticket!! Call thje christian president of the USA a muslim to stir the pot of lies nuckleheads seem to thrive on. If the rest of the middle east has to disarm or submit to inspection so does Israel. Oh yea and while your praying for God to remove the USA and with it the only chance Israel has of surviving the next 10 seconds, I'll pray that God removes zealot low forehead neanderthals like Jaacov Baumann!!
28. #23 Chris Rettenmoser
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (05.29.10)
When the Americans have not completely lost their brains, NObama will have his wings clipped in the midterm elections. And after many Democrat Senators have lost their job, it will be interesting to watch if they are keen for an even more devastating defeat in 2012 or if they get rid of the problem before.
29. Nice reading, brilliant post Zeroing at 26
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (05.29.10)
30. SAY NO
nimord ,   Baghdad, Iraq   (05.29.10)
israel should not listen to this nonsense you need nuclear facilities to defend yourself, Mr. Obama should be removed and once Israel's neighbors stop hating Israel then Israel can think about it but Israel never ever threatened to use it against anyone unlike Iran ( MOTHER LAND OF SHIITES) who hasn't acquired nuclear weapons yet and they threaten Israel's destruction already.
