1. If Bibi continues building freeze, Likud MUST replace him.
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.30.10)
It is obvious that the main reason Obama invited Bibi to visit him in the U.S. is to pressure Bibi to extend the racist anti-Jewish building freeze. This abominable building freeze goes against everything Likud stands for and everything Israel voted for. We must accept no excuses from Bibi. If Bibi agrees to continue this abomination, Likud MUST replace him promptly.
2. :: Big difference between...
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (06.30.10)
...how Obama treats Saudi King Abdullah and how he treated Bibi last time he was in the White House isn’t it? Oh and look the Saudi King got a photo op and lunch as well! Maybe if Bibi scores some brownie points with Obama by embracing peace with the Palestinians AND proactively working towards this just and fair peace he might get treated like the Saudi King. You see ‘friendships’ work both ways and until such time as Israel shows its willingness to follow the US policy in the ME instead of self-serving navy-gazing Israel will never be a true friend of the US.
3. Will Bibi get such a big Colgate Smile from Hussein O
Alan ,   SA   (06.30.10)
4. this is a wake up call
didi ,   tel avIv   (06.30.10)
LOOK AROUND U AMERICA, WAKE UP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE AND ISLAM WILL EAT U ALIVE. OH...HOW I MISS GOOD OLD AMERICA
5. :: That's how B. Hussein feels at home
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (06.30.10)
among other Muslims to bow to.
6. Photo Op and Luch, Matty?
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (06.30.10)
If you'll view the actual photo, you will see that while President O'Bama is turned towards the Saudi king with a big, toothy smile on his face, the king is looking askance, barely smiling if at all with his hand waving the president off in a dismissive gesture. Try learning to read between the lines, "Matty" and you will have more success as a political analyst. Just a friendly suggestion from a Ynet contributor.
7.  looks like a death wish from here And He expects to survive
Amazed ,   Over Here   (06.30.10)
the wrath of God.?........and we are not buying Iranian dates either. Told you he was possessed. keep praying for the PM beloved Jews. When the enemy presses in hard do not fear the Battle Belongs to the Lord.
8. With BHO following this track, you can look for more . . .
Ken Quinn ,   Amsterdam   (06.30.10)
With BHO following this track, you can look for more disasters falling on America for his abuse of the State of Israel and the Jewish People. These things are linked.
9. who's next hamas? hizbulla?
Theo Vangogh ,   Texas, US   (06.30.10)
the people who brought us 9/11 , and a whole lot of jihad, want to talk about humanity and peace? they must think us fools.
10. what a joke
Ari Olvera ,   Tel-Aviv Israel   (06.30.10)
WTF?! a nation which stones to death even SUSPECTED adulterers, recognizes no woman as having rights to her children or her finances, and supports child- marriages and "honour killings", now sits in a summit with Obama regarding Israel's policies and future solution to the Palestinian situation??!! I would laugh, but it's more appropriate to cry. SHAME
11. Someone remind Obama
Homer Jones ,   Nyc   (06.30.10)
That most of the 911 hijackers came from this joker's kingdom...
12. Abdallah
Frank ,   Canada   (06.30.10)
Abdallah just told the French Defense Minister that Israel has no right to exist. He just want to use the 2 states solution as a way to continue the war against Israel.
13. The 2 states solution according to Abdallah
Frank ,   Canada   (06.30.10)
The Saudi monarch, who met Tuesday Barack Obama in the White House, did not mince his words during the recent visit to Jeddah of Hervé Morin, Minister of Defence. "There are two countries in the world who do not deserve to exist: Iran and Israel," he said King Abdullah, on June 5 last. http://translate.google.ca/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.lefigaro.fr%2Fmalbrunot%2F2010%2F06%2Fla-violente-charge-du-roi-abda.html&sl=fr&tl=en&hl=&ie=UTF-8
14. Right on #1
BH ,   Iowa   (06.30.10)
15. you think he desreves one?
hi official   (06.30.10)
he comes in through the kitchen.
16. yesr ocupied congress, we trying to free ou
foxman   (06.30.10)
from the jewish lobby, we don't see much islamic influence here, sorry.
17. Meeting with King Abdullah
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (06.30.10)
At long last, President Obama takes a big step in the direction toward knowing on which side his bread is buttered. Perhaps he finally continue the good work that his predecessor, Franklin Delano Roosevelt started with King Ibn Saud Abdul-Aziz back in 1945, with the ultimate aim of putting down the Zionist movement. Unfortunately, Roosevelt died suddenly, and the movement got out of hand, leading to the tumult we see in the Middle East today.
18. #2 Israel and most Americans loathe Obama.
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.30.10)
#2 Matty. Have you seen the latest Rasmussen poll? Most Americans don't consider Obama a friend of the U.S. Israel is viewed favourably by FAR more Americans than Obama. Obama's agenda, both foreign and domestic, is a failure in every respect and has virtually no support in the U.S. Israel has no need to receive Obama's phony teleprompter read praise. We've been around more than 6,000 years and this land is ours forever. Obama is almost certainly gone in two years. For most Americans, Obama's departure could never be quick enough.
19. KING ABDULLAH IS A SINCERE MAN. OBAMA MUST FOLLOW UP ON.....
SINGER ,   SINGAPORE   (06.30.10)
HIS WISE ADVICE.
20. Will Obama Offer Al-Qaeda half of U.S.A. & Washington DC?
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (06.30.10)
Someone once wrote that Bin Laden is probably expecting an invitation to the White House one day. Which is no more shocking than global savage terrorist killer, Arafat, being the most invited guest to the Clinton White House. And financed, armed, and greatly honored by Western leaders. Only G-D knows how many defenseless innocents Arafat murdered
21. #2 Matty, I don't know whether your TBs
Maximilian   (06.30.10)
are ridiculous or offensive or both. Look at what you wrote: "until such time as Israel shows its willingness to follow the US policy in the ME instead of self-serving navy-gazing Israel will never be a true friend of the US." Now, let's turn that around a little: How about this: "until such time as the United States shows its willingness to follow the Saudi policy in America instead of self-serving navy-gazing, the USA will never be a true friend of the Saudis." Now, try to post that talkback on ANY American website, right wing or left wing. And see how it goes. If it gets posted at all. It's stupid, it's hypocritical, it's absurd, and for the one or two readers who take you seriously in Israel, deeply offensive.
22. REFUGEES 1933-2010
zichron   (06.30.10)
a swap must occur as islam blocked the escape of jews from europe without an offer of refugee in islamic states even medina.
23. ...yet, no acceptance of Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as..
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (06.30.10)
...the nation-state of the Jewish people. The FACT that Israel exists is no substitute to its RIGHT to do so: Historic right; ethical right; legal right. The fact that no Muslim-Arab leader is ready to accept Israel's right to be and no one to date has been willing to accept a peace treaty with it as the "end of the conflict" is indicative of the true long-term intention of the Muslim-Arab world and its leaders with regard to Israel existence..... Is Obama that naive not to see this reality, or does his attitude towards the national home of the Jewish people is so sinister...??
24. Obama is a genius - selling f-16s to the 9/11 attackers
Edgar ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.30.10)
Thank goodness I made Aliyah 10 years ago. Obama will not be happy until the US is destroyed.
25. Palestinian Homeland
Dan ,   Titusville, FL   (06.30.10)
They already have one it is called JORDAN but if King Abdullah wants to give up Saudi Arabia to the Palestinians that is all well and good too
26. Obama and King Abdullah
Simcha ,   So.Cal.USA   (06.30.10)
Securing a Palestinian state in a swift and bold way? That's easy! just kick their butts accross the Jordan river into Jordan where they belong. They will be living along side a prosperous Israel just like you want.
27. More disaters on America
Orwell ,   Farmville   (06.30.10)
Ken is right there will be more disasters in America. Nations that receive many blessings will receive greater destruction for the forbidden evil of attempting to destroy Israel and make no mistake that is Obummas end game. ALL of us in America understood what he would do so we cant complain we will receive what we deserve.
28. Camel and F-16s......
Shyalom ,   U.S.A.   (06.30.10)
Are they going to unpack the F16s just like in Kuwait? Who is going to pilot them, camel drivers? A community organizer and this king, who has money because the english and dutch dicovered oil for him and established a kingdom for him, gets along just fine. No wonder.
29. Notice how he didn't say Jewish state
(06.30.10)
He wouldn't date using that offensive word in gront of a Muslim. Land of the free and home of the brave.
30. Israel....you want Gaza in Judea and Samaria?
BJL ,   usa   (06.30.10)
That is what Hussein Obama is about to give you. Hamas will have the strategic high ground of the hills. Israel....stop this PLO state before it is too late...
