31. Withdraw from Peace Process
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (06.12.10)
Obama can't be trusted at all. The EU can't be trusted at all. The World is at war with Israel so be it. Israel needs to walk away from peace talks and develop a policy of Mutual Assured Destruction against any country that threatens Israel existence either through economic diplomatic or military means. The policy should be aimed at any country also that threatens a Jewish population. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com/2010/03/israeli-options-mutual-assured.html
32. Obama designs America's future
Christopher R ,   Muscat Oman   (06.12.10)
It is the time when Obama-president of US- himself designs the future of USA not by himself, but by GOD Almighty who governs & controls above all the worldy powers. Heaven is ruling all, which truth is going to be revealed soon. By cursing the choosen people & Land, Obama is getting the curse from the Almighty as this is the part of land which HE chose for HIS dwelling with HIS people. So poor Obama, you do not know what is at the horizon hanging on.
33. Putting all the eggs in the US basket
op   (06.12.10)
- was always risky. Thats why DIPLOMACY is so important - not something that was Israels strong suit
34. Hey I voted for McCain
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (06.12.10)
Hey don't blame me for Obama I voted for McCain
35. Bibi's inability to tell Obama "NO" is a bigger problem.
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.12.10)
Obama is obviously the most hostile U.S. president Israel has ever faced. He is also the worst president the U.S. has ever had. Even incompetent former U.S. presidents like Warren Harding and James Buchanan look good compared to Obama. However, Bibi's inability to tell Obama "NO" is a bigger problem than Obama. After all, it is Bibi's job (not Obama's) to stand up for Israel. Israel's tens of millions of American friends would be vastly empowered to help Israel, against Obama, if Bibi clearly rejected Obama's hostile, outrageous demands. Nobody can be a better friend of Israel than Israel's government.
36. Obama: Prince of Destruction
ben Ish   (06.12.10)
Name one time in history when appeasing an aggressor did not beget tragedy. Israel has a long history of appeasement, "gestures", and sacrifices and EVERY time it has led to tragedy. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Giving up land results in intifada. Leaving Gaza results in continuous rockets. There are no exceptions to this rule. Do you think removing the security fence will result in less attacks? Removing checkpoints & searches? Will this bring peace and security? If you say "Yes" then you have failed as a human even more so than the human wearing the explosives. I suggest that any leader who refuses to learn this lesson must be immediately removed. It has been proven 100% accurate for the entire history of the earth. Whether between two individuals, two nations, or between a coalition of many Nations, appeasing an aggressor will ALWAYS empower the aggressor.
37. Obama
Larry ,   Pennsylvania, USA   (06.12.10)
As an American Jew, I am appalled at the rapid change in U.S. attitude and policy toward Israel. I am trying to organize a protest in front of the White House and have received nothing but ambivalence from most of the Jews I have spoken with. Is there not a need to become visible with our outrage? Who would be willing to join the fight?
38. Obama & Israel
Joshua ,   USA   (06.12.10)
Sounds like an Israeli dumb Republican Tea Party member. While as an American I do not support Obama's handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he is definitely NOT an Anti-Semite. He is an intelligent president (for a change) with a vision beyond the stupid Republican idiocy and rethorics, and in my opinion thoroughly naive in his perception of the middle east and arab world problems. But, being smart - he will learn and in time prove to be an unwaivering supporter of Israel. The time has come for Israelis to grow off the mentality of "The whole world is against us".
39. Obama threatens our future
D. Alexander ,   Dallas USA   (06.12.10)
Excellent article. I am one of those non-Jewish supporters of Israel in the U.S. to which you referred.
40. not sure whether to laugh or be upset
Brian ,   Cincinnati, USA   (06.12.10)
Another "great" article by a blubbering idiot. It is hilarious in its stupidity, yet the author's own hypocritical rhetoric frightens me in the sense that a majority of people could think this way.
41. Obama=Commiecrat.
papabear47 ,   Astoria,U.S.A.   (06.12.10)
This administration may be from a historical perspective the most destructive that the U.S.A. has ever had....Obama turs his back on all decent societies and embraces every tyrant he meets all the time saying that America is the source of all evil. I wish Israel the best of luck and as a Catholic I will pray for you,even the Ignorant Jews that voted for this idiot. Cave Ursus
42. Right on target
Brod ,   USA   (06.12.10)
Yiron Festinger is right on target. Hussien is a danger to America and Israel. It is time for Americans to see this. He is also trying to undermine Israel. It looks like he is a closeted Islamist crusading Jihadism on Israel. Congress should impeach him without further delay. Already Retired General Vallely has called him to resign for being a fraud!
43. well said
ray ,   israel   (06.12.10)
what's amazing is the tel aviv parade against israel. by Jews!!!
44. Explain this to Barak, our own liberal lunatic
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim,   (06.12.10)
B"H Or rather not. Send him home! The sooner the better.
45. obama (OSAMA) is bad for Israel
(06.12.10)
רק מקיין!
46. Giving it away
john nicholson ,   alpena, michigan usa   (06.12.10)
We in the US are witness to a democratic nation state which insists on giving it all away to the barbarians. We elected this fool and are now in the process of watching him abandon our friends and make kissy-face with our enemies. Perhaps when we are obliged to chant "alahu akbar" during our morning call to prayor we will realise the disaster Obama is and what we have lost. Sad.
47. An answer and a quarter
Israel   (06.12.10)
Obama owes the american people to realize that it is intheir best interest to protect the only democracy in the middle east. His new Arabic allies are hardly a proprer replacement.
48. So hypocratic!
Johnny Cash   (06.12.10)
Which international law does the Hammas obey from Gaza buy rocketing Israeli cities? How is Jerusalem different from Ramat Gan? Our image has nothing to do with disobeying anything but with a massive Terroristic campaign supported by our president.
49. I agree with every word!
celia ,   detroit, USA   (06.13.10)
50. Any Christians Seeing the Big Picture
JL ,   KY, USA   (06.13.10)
God will protect Israel. Israel does not need the U.S. However, God has no promise for Americans. Israel should be praying for us.
51. Web hate Oboma too
Scott Wilson ,   Arlington, Texas, US   (06.13.10)
Arg.....we love our Israelie brothers and sisters. Don't give up on us........this fall we will silence this bum
52. I agree Obama is dangerous, but...
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (06.13.10)
us Israelis preaching to Americans to change or pressure their president because he doesn't OUR needs - is kind of a hutzpa. Who are we, tiny Israel, to meddle in America's internal affairs, and tell Americans who to vote and what to do? When most Americans vote for a president, they have plenty of much more pressing issues on their minds, such as health care, taxes, crime control, and many others. Israel is probably pretty low on their list. And despite the relative setback brought by Obama, American policy is still staunchly pro-Israeli, and America still pays a hefty political price for her unwavering diplomatic support of us. I agree Obama is bad for us. But the last thing we need right now is another example for Americans of how Jews meddle in their business in order to serve Israel's interests instead of America's. Let the American voters decide for themselves who they want for president, and whether they approve of his policies. We are not in a position to coax them.
53. i diagree with you , festinger
jerusalem   (06.13.10)
while you would like to turn a blind eye to the cold hard facts, you did it well infact. lol the israeli state itself has destabilized its own security single handedly. and it deserves every single pitch coming its way. if you would like to start instigating against the US, why dont the various forms of aid from the US be declined-or you wasnt talking like that? we'll see who goes down as the most infamous president in history, so i guess your much loved buddy bush was the most loved president in US history. and that shoe that almost hit the idiot was actually a bouquet filled with love.
54. Hey Yiron, you should read your history to see....
DANNY ,   America   (06.13.10)
where your trouble really comes from. But blaming someone else is par for the course. America the people support you because we are terrified of being in the same boat as you all. We fear your God more than you do. Wake up? I think after you reap what you have sown, just maybe, but what will really turn you around is: "He will act for His name sake". meaning in spite of you. Obama is a blink in your history, look at the BIG PICTURE for once.
55. #26 Stevei of Potomac, Md., U.S.A.
Liberty Lover ,   USA   (06.13.10)
It's okay, Stevei. I voted for Bush, twice! But, I really didn't have much of a choice back then. It is time to drop party loyalty and fight for those seeking office who will really do right by America. Please consider Ron Paul as someone to support. Paul's theories on economics (aka Austrian School of Economic Thought) are very close to those of our founding fathers. Paul would abolish the Federal Reserve Bank, and all other central banks, just like Jackson finally managed to do.
56. Obama is disgrace to America/West
Mike ,   San Francisco, USA   (06.13.10)
Thanks #22. You say it powerfully. I am an embarrassed ex Obama voter. At this point I want nothing but to undo the damage I have created by voting him to be our President. I want to be part of the crowd that votes him out of office, and at least ensures he loses the next election. I want to help bring awareness to Americans immediately regarding just how detrimental he is for us on all fronts (except healthcare). If anyone has suggestions for effective anti-Obama lobbying organizations please post them here asap. Thank you.
57. O-bow-Mao threatens everyone
Jhan   (06.13.10)
This illegitimate usurper and mental patient must be impeached now
58. ehud barak and barak obama
alexi   (06.13.10)
obama is very inclined to the arab narrative of kalidi whose friendship was intense and not occasional. So obama has no feeling for israel-zero regardless of his court jew axelrod. Israel's heatlth is also in danger so long as ehud barak controls defense. What he did when soldiers were lynched in ramallah is what he will do to israel-zero. He sent commandos to be lynched on the boat because he is a pacifist who cannot withstand pressure from obama. He did the same while he was PM-he was afraid to act. And bibi is in awe of him because barak was his commander. Bibi is ok but sloppy as he proved with mashall and now the boat. You take a boat, you disable the crew . You assume the worst, not the best as barak did. What a failure. The idf is furious with barak.
59. NEWSFLASH - BHO told Egypt FM that he is a Muslim
Debbie ,   USA   (06.13.10)
The news has hit the web (Atlas Shrugs) and you'll see it soon on your favorite websites. Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said he had a one-on-one meeting with Obama, in which President Obama told him that he was still a Muslim, the son of a Muslim father, the stepson of Muslim stepfather, that his half brothers in Kenya are Muslims, and that he was sympathetic towards the Muslim agenda. The fact that he is a Muslim does not make him into a bad person or a bad president. But not disclosing this fact to the electorate, however, is something completely different.
60. Obama
Luette ,   Port Angeles WA   (06.13.10)
I am glad someone is catching on to Obama and his false agenda for Israel. Dont listen to him, 70% of America is no longer listening either
