91. Build, build and build in J/S and tell....
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine USA   (05.20.11)
obummer to mind his own business. In 1967 the Israeli's should have driven the arabs back to jordon from J/S, but Dayan wanted to be fair. You can not be fair with racist morons. Now you see the problem. They want all of Israel !!!! Not one inch of land back to the arab parasites. Stay strong Bibi.
92. #1 - Israel is not the 51st state... it is still
seadog1946 ,   ErieBasin, NYC   (05.20.11)
a foreign country and always will be. If you support Israel so much, go live there.
93. # 15 Even Worse
MG ,   New Jersey, USA   (05.20.11)
To # 15, it's even worse now that the PA have joined with Hamas whose charter clearly calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. This is who we are dealing with (yes we). America and Israel stand together in the face of the Syrian-Iranian-Hizbola-Hamas-Turkish (and now Egyptian) axis of filth that Israel (and the western world) is up against.
94. Cackle...
Yosef ,   Palm Beach USA   (05.20.11)
Tzipi is cackling like a hen, just for the sake of cackling, and about the same intelligence. If the moslems were a bit smarter, they would leave Israel alone - then the Jewish state would implode, by itself, with politicians of this quality.
95. the fatuous idealism edited out by the bbc
sweeter than honey ,   far away   (05.20.11)
i watched the whole thing, 50 mins on a feed, and then the main news from the bbc the same night. though israel was about 10% of the speech the bbc headlined it as 100%. i think other people have said on these boards that the bbc is anti-semitic, i am coming round to that way of thinking as it is so disproportionate. there must be a constituency of fatuous idealists in the usa (who actually want to be in sweden or holland or some such like) and the world. i think the holders of so much of us government debt (not the saudis who have shelved a $60 billion arms deal with the us after the us shelved mubarak) must be laughing at all this small stuff as their wealth and power grows and grows.
96. to#9
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (05.20.11)
No change in Bibi's speach is needed. .He has a long history of giving memorable and inspiring speaches behind him, all over the world. IT is his specialty...But the one who is irritating the most, is Tzipi..She could give anyone the "evil eye"(G-d forbid)...All she needs is a broom and off she flies... Good Luck, Bibi ! No pressure...But the whole world's eyes will be watching and listening to you when you will speak here...You need to Hazek and Ametz, because you are representing not only the cause of the Jewish People, but the whole worlds Humanity....B'Hatzlacha I'Yasher Choach !!
97. #14
Jennie ,   ISrael/US   (05.20.11)
Thank You very much, Jodi, for showing you support to Israel...May You and all who are dear to you, be blessed with the same blessings you were kind enough to wish our People...Together we shell overcome... !
98. Salma you are childish to say the least ,learn the facts
Ari ,   Romania Israel   (05.20.11)
1967 Borders and 1948 borders are the same. The armistice lines agreed in 1948 are the same as the lines prior to the 6 day war.(1967) Res 242 of the UN says Israel should go back to the lines "with secure borders" Read rthe resolution. King Hussein clearly said: " we atacked Israel we lost, we have to pay ". You can check I dont fantasize like Abbas he says something in 1976 Blaming the arabs for the refugee problem and yesterday in the NYT he changed the tune,saying the Jews expell the Palestinians. he is truly an ass hole. He is no peace partner. Several times he has even denied the Holocaust. Besides in 1948 all were Palestinians Jews and arabs. 1948 Israel was atacked by 5 Arab armies who had 5 times more arms than Israel. Israel won because was organized and the Arabs didn't have a unified command that is why they lost, and ofcourse G-D protected us, as he has been doing since. Arabs also urged the Arabs of Palestine to leave in order to masacre and throw the Jews to the sea. So the refugee problem was created by the arabs. Ben Gurion plead to them not to leave. But they decided to follow the arabs orders. The arabs that remained, are today Israeli citzens with full rights. After 1948 Israel was attacked to anhilation another 3 times a price has to pe paid for this.
99. to #no.66 you disgrace the family name which is the same..
(05.20.11)
as mine. Peace is not going to come if Israel is not with in secure borders. You can't grab this? We hgave Gaza Back and look what happened. Is is a little further than the West Bank, can you imagien waht will happen if the borders are exactly the West Bank? With people like Hamas? Not that Alfatah is better they also do not reconize Israel right to exist. Do your self a favor change your name so you dont embarras other people with the same family name.
100. obama speech
sara ,   usa   (05.20.11)
What an insult to Israel! Netanyahu should cancel his trip to USA in protest of such a disgraceful stand made by this man. I'm ashamed to call him "president". I for one and I'm sure the majority of the US citizenship do not agree with this.!!!
101. #92 Seadog
Chris ,   Naptown   (05.20.11)
I love hearing your responses.... just completely ignorant.... kinda like saying "if you like ice cream so much why don't you marry it" lol.... if you support palestine so much go live there..... oh wait, no such thing.... maybe you should try never never land instead.... I hear you can fly if you think happy thoughts..... so I guess you'll be walking....
102. Prophet Ezekiel...
Kabala.Chabad stdt. ,   Niles.IL.USA   (05.20.11)
...time to shake the dust off the Book of Ezekiel for a match of a possible sign of the times
103. on #11, jon
joel ,   usa   (05.20.11)
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY WRONG, GAZA IS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THESE TREASON, YOU CANNOT DEAL PEACE WITH MUSLIM ARABS, NEVER, SO ISRAEL MUST STAND UP FOR ITS OWN AND DON'T ALLOW ANY FOREIGN STATES TO DICTATE WHERE IT SHOULD DO OR NOT, NOBODY DICTATES USA OF WHAT TO DO?
104. on #18, salma
joel ,   usa   (05.20.11)
you were defeated in your own aggressive war against israel vs. all arabs in 1967, the "spoils" must be kept by israel and the arabs must be content with it, otherwise you need to win another war, ok. if you can?the laziness of the arabs made the lived in a miserable conditions contented in receiving alms & doleouts!
105. What is he saying
daz ,   uk   (05.20.11)
So if Netanyahu won't withdraw from the occupied territories does this mean he is a proponent for the one state solution? A nation for all it's citizens not based on race or religion.
106. If Israel does surrender Judea & Samaria
BH ,   Iowa   (05.20.11)
They's just get it back the first war the PA starts.
107. Time for the entire Israeli Govt to stand up
EZ ,   US   (05.20.11)
Obama is a reckless and inexperienced man; he should zip it and sit down for the next 12 months cause that's all he's got. Shame on Obama. Bibi can't handle this alone: the whole Israeli people have to write to Obama and let him have it. NOW !!!'m this is a disgrace!!!!
108. To: No. 10
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.20.11)
You have no standing to demand anything. You are a vanquished people. Crawl off in a corner somewhere and thank your lucky stars that Israel hasn't kicked your sorry asses out of our beautiful country. Israel is a sovereign state, and you are a bunch of unrepentant terrorists. Even now you threaten to cause our children to live in fear. Do that often enough, and you are going to find yourself living in a zip code very, very far away from Jerusalem. I promise you that much. You're getting pretty close to overstaying your "welcome."
109. To: No. 33
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.20.11)
We did not lose six wars; you did. You are not equal negotiating partners to Israel; you are a terrorist rabble and Israel is a sovereign state. You people know only violence and terror. Whether you realize it or not, most sane and reasonable people throughout the world are pretty sick of you. You should have taken the deal in 1947, but you went to war instead -- and lost. Lost five more times, too. You get nothing but the crumbs that Israel may very generously consent to toss your way. And -- given your constant violent rhetoric, and your adamant refusal to recognize the right of the State of Israel to exist in its ancient homeland, your consistent rejection of Israel's inherent identity as a Jewish state and your refusal to repudiate your vile charters calling for the destruction of the State of Israel and the extermination and/or expulsion of the Jews -- we will take those crumbs away and leave you with absolutely nothing. What is congenitally wrong with you people, that all you can do is threaten us with violence? Do you think that this has escaped the notice of the international community for the past seven decades? Why do you think not even your Arab brethren support you? You get lip service and money but privately, most of the countries of the world are grateful that Israel has defeated you (six times) and not given in to your reprehensible terror (seven decades thereof). You people have refused Israel's hand in friendship for seven decades. Well, we have withdrawn that hand, and you have only yourselves to blame.
110. #1Jewish Israelis see Pals as Fifth column are Jewish
Leolo ,   Boston   (05.20.11)
American our fifth column? Who are you - are you Israeli or American - US policy has always held the settlements to be illegal and against international law and human rights - who is the everybody that should work against BHO and American values?
111. no 10 we accept 1967 borders according to Res 242 of the UN
(05.20.11)
Resolution 242 says Israel has to retreat to "secure borders" As a matter of fact Obama said allmost the same 1967 borders with land swaps, which means secure borders
112. to nr 13.
justice for all ,   world/planet earth   (05.20.11)
we can better have obama as us president untill 2017 than a republican. the us republican party is one of the biggest threats/dangers to world-peace and to mankind. FOR A FREE WORLD FOR FREE PEOPLE!
113. JORDANS NEXT KING IS PALESTINIAN!! Jordan is Palestine wake
Prince Hussein II ,   Amman, Palestine   (05.20.11)
up! Hussein II...is cronw prince...is palestinian...and is next to the throne
114. Livni is a naive hypcritical fool, not a leader
Jordan ,   Is Palestine   (05.20.11)
115. Obama true colors
Maurice ,   Los Angeles,USA   (05.20.11)
I hope that all the Jews that voted for Obama can now see the light. He will sacrifice Israel for his Arab brothers. We must work tirelessly to insure that Obama will not be re-elected in 2012. He is not only dangerous for Israel but for America as well.
116. Nobody Proposed 67 Borders
Mark ben Josuf ,   USA   (05.20.11)
Obama didn't propose 67 Borders. He proposed that Netanyahu limit his appetite to the land mass equal to what Israel took up in 1967 before the conquest of parts of Egypt and Jordan and some of Syria. I can reject relinquishing Alaska as part of a START negotiation. It has the same meaning.
117. 1967 borders
Claude ,   Adin, ua   (05.20.11)
Problem still remains Israel, if you return to any border that is not prior to 1948 they wil not be happy... So tell Livni to stuff it, they do not want peace nor a piece of Israel but all of Israel, Listen to what they are telling thier own people.
118. You won't give up the occupation? Prepare for the one state!
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor, UK   (05.20.11)
So many of the Talkbackers here persist in their rightwing delusions. They have no idea of the realities on the ground. The Palestinians under occupation will never accept autonomy in a reservation or nominal sovereignty in a bantustan. The minimum for the Palestinians is all of the territories Israel occupied in 1967 with East Jerusalem as a capital with some mutually agreed landswaps of equal quality. This will still leave the refugee issue, compensation etc. There are delusional rightwingers like #61, who think it will be possible to repeat the ethnic cleansing exercise of 1948 and push the Palestinians into Jordan. In their greed they fail to see that Palestinians will rather die than accept being herded onto trucks and dropped on the other side of the Jordan. On top of that even the USA will not accept this kind of mass ethnic cleansing. And even in the extremely unlikely event that this would happen the Arab world would turn into an implacable enemy and sooner or later would unite under a new Salaheddin al-Ayyoubi to throw the imperialist crusader state out. So the choice is simple. If you want to find peace and acceptance in the Arab world you need to accept two states with the 1967 borders or you will have to accept the longterm prospect of the one state, which will be a state of all its citizens: jews, christians and muslims.
119. to#92
Jennie ,   Us/Israel   (05.20.11)
Yes,seadog...So now you are ErieBasin, in NYC...LAst week you were something else...Oh,well.... FYI,Yes, Israel's supporters do know that much...As well as the simple fact, the Israel is the only ally of US and the only Democracy in the Middle East. and hopes to remain such always....And as far as I am concerned, it is perfectly legal to be a dual citizen in this country, mr.or mrs."ErieBasin"...
120. Obama is not your friend
Gaile McLean ,   Australia Cairns   (05.20.11)
