61. Whether FOR or AGAINST the peace process...
Ann ,   USA   (03.05.11)
Please, NO MORE STUPID SPEECHES!!! No more photo ops.
62. with everything else going on ...
adam ,   ny, ny   (03.05.11)
...obama just wants to throw the focus off his complete lack of a foreign policy. Libya, Egypt, Yemen, still two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - our president can't handle his own problems. Israel should pay him no mind and focus on what they will do if their neighbors start getting itchy trigger fingers.
63. #23. "Palestine" is a creation of nightmares.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.05.11)
#23. "Palestine" is a fictional land like Oz and Neverland. It never existed and never will, unless Israel foolishly allows such an abomination. Israel is real. "Palestine" is a creation of dreams or rather nightmares.
64. Good man, Chris @#41
Israeli 2   (03.05.11)
GREAT talkback. Thank you for stating the truth.
65. #1 and #14
Harold ,   USA   (03.05.11)
Both of you are insane. Wise-up.
66. Real Israel's borders
Harold ,   USA   (03.05.11)
The world now that 1967 borders is the real Israel's borders. When Obama says the US is responsible for securing Israel, he means Israel with 1949 borders and not the stolen Palestinian lands.
67. to #2 100 % !!! LOL
rd ,   la usa   (03.05.11)
68. the world nations wants 67 borders..................
Psalms 83 ,   SELAH   (03.05.11)
prophets of old said those borders would be the ones G-d would set.. it doesn't matter what Bibi says or what the nations want ...God put his word (oath) on it . and it will be so
69. The 1967 borders
Jewish Warrior   (03.05.11)
Have no legal validity as a permanent border. They are supposed to be temporary, until a final solution is reached. And if Obama thinks that Israel is about to ethnically cleane all Jews out of the West Bank, 80% of which live directly across the border and can be easily annexed, he's got another thing coming.
70. #43 too late
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.05.11)
It is too late to save Obama. Because of his blind Jew-hatred and stupidity Obama destabilized the Middle-East, raising the price of oil. When the price of oil goes up, so does the price of food. Soon Americans won't be able to afford coffee and chocolate, maybe not even bread. When oil hits $200 a barrel, there will be food riots and Obama will flee the country. Paradoxically, if Gadaffi wins the Libyan civil war there is a chance that things will settle down, as long as Pakistan doesn't blow. But Obama isn't smart enough to see that. So knowing that his presidency is finished, maybe Obama will use his last two years to get rid of the Jews as his mentor Reverend Wright taught him.
71. THE BEGINNING OF THE END
Ricardo Macher ,   Karnei Shomron IL   (03.05.11)
I will never leave Samaria. Never. Do whatever you want, Bibi, over my dead body...
72. THEY ARE NOT BORDERS; THEY ARE CEASE FIRE LINES ONLY
aaron ,   san diego, ca   (03.05.11)
in a war that has three major battles: 48/49, 67, and 73 and various smaller ones. ...and our dear president knows that. Hang tough, Bibi. Don't put up with any nonsense from Obama.
73. free palestine
american ,   washington, dc   (03.05.11)
iraq occupies kuwait and it is sanctioned and removed. israel occupies the palestinian territories and it gets f-35 fighters! only iraq and germany have to be held accountable for violations of international law and human rights. if israel violates human rights and international law it is ok.
74. I can think of 2 dramatic words you could tell him-(end)
Dave ,   sf-usa   (03.05.11)
75. A SUGGESTION TO ALL THESE BRAVE TALKBACKERS
Carl   (03.05.11)
Convey your colorful message to the appropriate authorities. Israelis, do it to the Embassy and Consulates. Americans, do it to the White House. They both have telephone numbers and fax numbers you can use. Telling your feelings to Ynet readers is not enough.
76. Andy # 5 we have a word for you too
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (03.05.11)
Gullible.
77. Cameron # 18
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (03.05.11)
Bad president, Obama in Washington D.C. Cameron. Nothing wrong with Steve's attitude. This is the first real job Obama has ever had and he is blowing it.
78. What Basis for Trust
Mark ben Josuf ,   USA   (03.05.11)
Trust is usually earned. I fail to see on what basis Netanyahu has earned the trust of the White House. Obama has been denigrated since before he was inaugurated. and he and his envoys and even Biden have been given the low sofa treatment at every opportunity. The current government even went out of its way to denigrate Biden on his visit to try and get the sides together for talks. The US and even the Palestinians are willing to concede the Israeli conquests that occurred prior to the 67 war. They are even willing to adjust borders, but only based on the land mass that was unconquered before the 67 conquest. of the West Bank and Gaza. Israel signed a treaty banning the right of conquest, the Geneva IV Convention. Israel has not withdrawn from that treaty, nor does it contain an exemption for Israeli conquests. The US position was stated by every President since 1967, even outlined by Bush in his infamous letter that stated that facts on the ground needed to be accounted for. But even that letter did not cede a right of conquest to Israel. If you want it all. Fine say so and the world can start contemplating a bi-national state. Belgium has one. There is a model. If not, start considering what parts of the land mass controlled by pre-67-war Israel you wish to exchange for what you conquered in 67 that you insist on keeping. It would also help if your negotiators would actually listen and read proposals proffered by the Palestinians instead of treating the paper of the envelopes as if they had cooties. and would somehow infect you. In other words, stop having your negotiators from acting like 9-year-olds.
79. re1,5,32: Once Obama was sworn into office it doesn't matter
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (03.05.11)
Obama has family members and their friends stating he was born in Hawaii and his mother was a US born citizen. Granted this was before Hawaii was a state but doesn't matter since it had been US declared territory for decades. Obama will likely be easily reelected based on current numbers of Independent voters, since neither Democrats or Republicans have the numbers to win without them.
80. Dramitic words "Palestinians will not get you reelected"
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (03.05.11)
Is that dramatic enough for you? 3 For 60 years the Arabs now calling themselves Palestinians have refused all offers for their own land regardless of who offered (the UN, US Presidents, Israeli PMs, etc) so why do you think that as the Arab world is collapsing that they will agree now? They won't even come to the table to discuss boarders let alone a final status.
81. #68 I will believe what you say
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.05.11)
just as soon as I hear it from G-d himself He can broadcast his message on TV so that I can see he said it and not someone that's pretending to be his spokesman BTW- Exactly where did G-d mention the '67 borders, just post a link to the appropriate book and the specific paragraphs One more thing, are you talking about the Jewish G-d or Christian, I prefer to beleive the former, but as I said I have to see it for myself.
82. #71 American (oy vey, another faker)
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.05.11)
If you'll take the effort to verify some facts, you will find that it was the Arabs that initiated all the wars against Israel Not only that, you have absolutely right to claim Palestine, a Palestinian Nation never existed at any place or in any time I'll be a sport and give you a chance to prove what you claim is your entitlement, just answer a few easy question to do it Let's say you answer just three of them, if you do, I'll switch sides and become an advocate for your side Sounds more than fair to me Just keep in mind, that you don’t answer you have no valid claim When was the country of Palestine founded and by whom? Where did the Palestinian people originate from? What were Palestine's borders? Who were its neighbors? What language did the Palestinians speak? What writing did they use? What manuscripts or records did they leave whether written or engraved? What was their religion? Where are their temples? What monuments attest to their existence? What was the name of their capital? Name its other major cities. What was their currency called? Are there any coins that attest to their economy? What was Palestine's form of government? Name its kings or rulers. Insofar as being accountable for violations, have you ever considered that your using your civilans, men, women, elderly & children, as HUMAN SHIELDS, makes you the most cowardly of violators Not to mention the fact that you use you kids, ob both sexes, as young as 12 as bomb carriers and rock throwers Get off your high horse, you're mucking around in the dung you yourself created
83. #79 Bloodyscot - Bloodyfool
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.05.11)
Since I didn't believe your contention that the Independents favor Obama, I decided to check it out Gallup, a very reputable Polling Organization, states exactly the opposite, Independents have swung away from Obama Here's the info, read it and weep July 1, 2010 Independent Voters Favor GOP in 2010 Election TrackingPrefer Republican candidate to Democrat by an average of 45% to 35%by Jeffrey M. JonesPRINCETON, NJ -- By an average 10 percentage-point margin since March, 45% to 35%, independent registered voters have consistently preferred the Republican to the Democrat when asked which congressional candidate they would vote for in their district. Independents' preference for Republicans has been generally consistent over this time, with the gap in favor of Republicans increasing slightly since March, from 8 to 12 points
84. Palestinian - Sorry for the typo- Post #82
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.05.11)
sentence should have said "NO right" "you have absolutely NO right I am going to destroy my computer keyboard, it should have known better
85. #78 - There is no basis for trust between the 2 tribes...
seadog1946 ,   Caven Point, NJ   (03.05.11)
The Israelis want dominion over all the land between the Jordan river and the Med. sea... they want it's resources but they don't want to be responsible for the non-Israelis living there. The Israeli wet dream is that the Palestinians somehow disappeared.
86. #79 Certainly does matter
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.05.11)
If he was sworn into office under the pretense that he was born in America, it doesn't matter who his mother was, the Law stipulates he MUST BE BORN IN THE USA or it's possessions Since you said it, I decided to check it out; you always have a problem when it comes to the truth His grandmother said he was born in Kenya, you can't deny that she's a family member Obama Born In Kenya? His Grandmother Says Yes. - The Tamar Yonah ...Oct 12, 2008 ... Here, the Times Herald uses the word that his family 'believe' he was born in Kenya (perhaps to avoid possible law suits by Obama's Truth ... www.israelnationalnews.com/blogs/message.aspx/ People for their own self interest will lie through their teeth and perjure themselves Obama is notorious for distorting facts, so is Joe Biden, he's been caught so many times, it's long past being funny Independent voters voted for Obama in 2008, according to current Polling, Rasmussen as an example, they've swung away from Obama because he's been a total failure in his Economic, Unemployment and Foreign Policies Independent’s now favor the Republican's & Tea Party, not the Democrats Obama's totally out of his element and the public finally realizes it When they elected Obama they thought they were getting a peach, who wound up just being a Lemon Obama had said that the people would know him, by who he associates with, Which wound up being Commies, Lefties & Revolutionaries like Bill Ayers & his Frau & Anti-Semites, like Rev. Wright One question, do you have any valid polling that indicates that the Independents intend to vote for Obama again, or is that just guesswork on your part ? Any recent info that I have seen say’s exactly the opposite, Independent's have abandoned him in droves, his ship is sinking, they don’t want to be on it
87. #70 Swearing does matter
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.05.11)
James Buchanan & Richard M. Nixon were sworn in, they both left office in disgrace Bill Clinton was lucky, he lied to Congress and managed to get away with it It seems he had the charm to sell a bill of goods, which is something you lack
88. To #57 You referred to correct constitution demand
Seppo ,   Finland   (03.05.11)
To be natural born citizen BOTH parents should be US citizens. Obama has himself confirmed that his farther was British citizen. Thus he does NOT qualify to be US president. Birthcertificate delivered was type of certification proving a live birth. It tells nothing of the birth place. Birthplace can be determined ONLY by long form certificate which was never delivered
89. A HORSE ,A HORSE ,MY KINGDOM
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (03.05.11)
For a horse (statements don't come more dramatic than that ).
90. #70 Just ask Dutch Engstrom
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (03.05.11)
He was absolutely clear when he spoke "truth to power", i.e. to Bishop Pike; telling him that it was JUST not giving your word, but to whom your word is given. I hope Israel does not have to shoot it's way out of town for bags of steel holes. As for swearing,...I do it frequently. More since the ZerObama/Demorat coup. Or as we say in Serbo-Croatian: Stuck on stupid is no way to go through life.
