1. The Arabs have learnt from Obama, to insult Israel's....
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (09.21.10)
...Prime Minister and humiliate other Israeli elected officials and even the Israel's Supreme Court. And Obama - and Hillary Clinton for that matter - are yet to apologize to Israel's Prime Minister and to the Jewish people as a whole since Both the Prime Minister and Israel's Supreme Court are major symbols of Jewish sovereignty in the Jewish people's historic homeland thus insulting them is a form of insulting the whole of the Jewish people. But, of course, what can one expect from people who continue to promote anti-Jewish racism; to insist that on disputed land only Jews don't build but Muslim-Arabs can continue to do as they wish...??!!
2. :: Yeah, leave Bibi alone
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (09.21.10)
How dare the Palestinians call Bibi a liar, corrupt, weak, incompetent and lacking in any credibility?! Only the Ynuts here are allowed to bad-mouth him in such a fashion. I would say however that it is nice to see Obama coming to Bibi’s rescue and standing up for him in light of what those nasty Palestinians have been saying. Bibi should be really thankful that Uncle Obama has his back.
3. So now the US has to even protect Israel from criticism
(09.21.10)
You would think that Israeli would at be able to stand up for itself by now, but I guess not. How pathetic must Netanyahu be that as the leader of Israel he cannot even stand up for himself and must resort to begging the US to step in to protect him? What a poor baby.
4. what a funny news !
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.21.10)
any way, we would not attak him....just extend settlement freeze Bibi!
5. As an Israeli, I want to thank the US for protecting Baibi
Moshe Cryan ,   TA, Israel   (09.21.10)
err. I meant Bibi... How pathetic must one be to have to resort to begging another country to defend you. Sad..... so very sad.....
6. Then, are they going to stop settlement building?
Doris Day ,   West Texas   (09.21.10)
Or should the Palestinians just acknowledge that Netanyahoo's hands are tied as far as settlement building feezes go and he had to sell his soul to form the government he does have?
7. As Hamlet said ""The lady doth protest too much, methinks"
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & New York   (09.21.10)
Funny that they claim that Bibi is the one who "he lacked credibility" when everyone form Fatah to Hamas claim that Abbas does not represent them. Hamlet had the right response "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
8. Who are they to call anyone a liar
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (09.21.10)
The fact is Palestinians are only here in peace talks because they feel like they have no choice. Abbas as recently as July 2010, is on the record, saying look I'll go to war, but not alone. The Palestinians can't win a military war with Israel. But tell me you will fight with the Palestinians and I'll go to war with Israel. Hows much clearer could Abbas be, he is negotiating because he feels that is the ONLY option left for him. He said this "[Al-Hayat Al-Jadida (Fatah), July 6, 2010] " "There I turned to the Arab States and I said: 'If you want war, and if all of you will fight Israel, we are in favor. But the Palestinians will not fight alone because they don't have the ability to do it.' He [Abbas] said: 'The West Bank was completely destroyed and we will not agree that it will be destroyed again,' in addition to 'the inability to confront Israel militarily.'" So understand why Abbas is talking peace, because he feels he has no choice. This was his response to Hamas. The fact is war is fine with Abbas, but only if the Arab states commit to fighting with the Arabs of Gaza and the West Bank. But the Western Media pretends he wants peace, as the statement above proves is total BS. They say BiBi is a liar, really? Show me where BiBi wants a war, he has only spoke of peace, Abbas made the above remark 2 months ago. That war if fine!! Just so know who the liars are, and it's not the Israeli's.
9. As a PaLIEstinian, I know what you mean...
Ahmah Fakestinian ,   Fakestine, Lala land   (09.21.10)
You mean like how the PaLIEstinians need the US and Eurobe to create a state for them because they can't succeed in throwing the Israelis into the C.
10. Better to lie like all politicians do
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.21.10)
It's so expected to see the US in the forefront teaching the Palestinias to lie in oder to give Israel more false hope with their false peace.
11. :: Mmatty Groves, Why do you hate Jews so much?
Amir Khoury   (09.21.10)
12. But attacking Jews and Israel are OK?
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (09.21.10)
Palestinians do far worse than disparage Israel's PM. They continue to incite against Jews and Israel, to deny the Jews' history in the land and connection to Jerusalem, and they're working day and night to have Israel treated as a pariah state. About all that, apparently, those US officials aren't troubled.
13. #11 answer to your question
Matty Graves ,   Fartport   (09.21.10)
What do you expect from a Muslim who gets paid well to propangadize for the cause of Mohammed ?
14. Matty and Salma
Eyal ,   USA   (09.21.10)
The world is actually very fed up with the Palestinians. Continue your good work. Israel will prevail again and again and the Pals will continue to loose more. Don't you ever wonder why this is? When a war starts again with Hamas and Hezbollah which will also get Syria and Iran involeved, no one will even remember who the Palestinians are.
15. Really?
T ,   North Carolina, USA   (09.21.10)
...take their land, inhabit their houses, destroy their means of livlihood, dehumanize them, destroy their children's hopes, separate their families, wall them off, bulldoze their houses, overpower them in every theatre.....and then weep because they call you names....really?
16. Alittle respect from both sides needed or war only solution?
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (09.21.10)
The Jewish people have done great things thought out history and suffered harshly. The Arabs also have a great history to be proud of but when they work together with the Jews in peace, then true greatest is achieved for both. Both sides want peace, just on their own terms and compromise is seen as weaken instead of away to end conflict.
17. :: Eyal - #14 - Simple question
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (09.21.10)
Have you any proof of this? It is quite easy to ‘claim’ something to support your stance but it another thing altogether to actually ‘prove’ the claim you base your stance on. For example I could easily claim that “The world is actually very fed up with Paris Hilton” because she is a idiot with no talent, should not serve as a role model for young women and in a few years she will be forgotten about. I could make this claim but unless I can prove that the world is actually fed up with Hilton my stance is pretty meaningless. So I ask again do you have any proof to back up your claim? BTW ignore the childish impostor at #11 & #13.
18. is anybody can explain me why israel can not build inside
ed ,   usa   (09.21.10)
settlements
19. Mark From Georgia. I've enjoyed reading
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (09.21.10)
your talkbacks, you've become my new favorite poster here. Keep up the good work and informative posts, we need more just like you
20. Moshe @ 5, I am guessing you do not like Bibi very much and
leo ,   usa   (09.21.10)
I am sure you have your reasons, but how did you conclude that Obama's so called defense (I cannot see how it matters one way or the other) of Bibi was at Bibi's request or even welcomed by Bibi to begin with? How about this idea - you do not antagonize the party you are negotiating with unless you want negotiations to fail. I do not think it would be too far fetched to assume that Obama wants to succeed with some kind of deal. I wonder if PA side does. Moshe, your enemies can afford to be primitive, you cannot.
21. Well, the truth is
(09.21.10)
if Netanyahu continues the freeze he is a liar, his word is not to be trusted and becoming like Abbas.
22. Stand strong Bibi and all Israel
Robert ,   Boston, MA   (09.21.10)
All the good folks are on your side and we who love you will always stand with you.
23. to#14
Jennie ,   US/Israel   (09.21.10)
Eyal, Reading your posts feels like a breath of fresh air... I completely share your views and the importance to express them on this board...Keep up the good duel...
