1. It is so good to see Israelis showing solidarity
Maya ,   australia   (05.22.11)
All we usually see is arabs venting about something, good to see you guys standing up and making your voices heard.
2. What will be?
MiddleMan ,   Israel   (05.22.11)
Jokers to the left of me Jokers to the right of me Here I am stuck in the middle with you! In other words the extremists on the left and right are driving all of us bananas and we are just sitting here waiting. Time to get up and go do something! But what? I know let's have elections...that ought to keep all of us busy over the summer!
3. I admire israeli youth that are sharp and talent.coming back to1967 border
Saed ,   Iranian jew   (05.22.11)
Is similar to suiciding.we should try to topple hamas from gaza by using robots in near future.i advice israeli youths to go toward robotic and learn and develop robots.every one should be able in building robots in israel even the elemantary students.we should be a mile stone in robotic for the world like japan or u.s.if we want to havent casualties in future.
4. Only 300? What a shame.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (05.22.11)
5. Jews for Jewdea and Samaria! Jews against 8 miles wide!
Aaron ,   Seattle   (05.22.11)
Count me in!
6. Obama's request of '67 borders
Jennifer ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.22.11)
Before Obama makes such an outrageous request of us, I sincerely suggest that he, in his great kndness, humility and justice, demand that America reurn to its original borders of the 13 colonies and be under the rulership and dominion once again of Great Britain!
7. Justice
Paul ,   CA, USA   (05.22.11)
Osama bin Laden said that the reason for the 9/11 was America's biased support for Israel (see Osama's 1998 fatwa). President Obama, by taking a more evenhanded and fair approach to our relationship with Israel, is helping to defend America from terrorists.
8. Asking Gaza to accept a 4 mile waist and demilitauization?
Fed Up US Taxpayer   (05.22.11)
9. REBUILD GUSH KATIF!!
barnett-lellouche   (05.22.11)
10. to N°4

300 was also the number of Spartans who broke the persian army at the Thermopyles.. Sometimes a few can do a lot
11. 1967
Ole yashan ,   Ann Arbor, MI, USA   (05.22.11)
In 1967 Israel gave up her war gains for the sake of living together. Generous and foolish, but the dignity of Israel is left intact. Nowhere but in Israel Arab women can get advanced degrees to thrive, as opposed to become a number 4 wife of nobody. It is a pity Israel is too small for all Arab women to get their due.
12. to 2 you forgot to add...
ygalg ,   israel   (05.22.11)
hamas behind you and hizbollah in front of you and the Palestinians surround you...
13. America has officially lost its collective mind
Mychal ,   Tennessee, USA   (05.23.11)
I wish Netanyahu would grow a pair and tell the president to kiss Israel's ass. Israel has now owned the West Bank for twice as long as Jordan ever owned it. Why it should now belong to Palestinians (who never owned it, because they were never a country), I don' t know. Why we want to create a 23rd Muslim country, ruled by a religious dictatorship, supportive of terrorism, and which HATES us with an all-consuming passion, I don't know. Why we insist on taking land away from a first-world, democratic country--where Muslims, especially women, enjoy more personal freedom than in any other middle eastern nation--further confuses me. We are hurting a country which has always been our ally, in order to make friendly gestures to a people who hate us and want to see us brought to ruin. I've got news for the president: even if you gave the Palestinians the entire country of Israel, they'd still hate us and do everything in their power to destroy us. You are taking a gun away from the cop and giving it to the serial killer trying to break into our house. And you think this is somehow just and peaceful???
14. to # 8
Mark ,   La Canada California   (05.23.11)
To Fed up tax payer: the 4 mile waist you refer to in Gaza is attached to a 387 thousand square mile fellow Muslim nation of Egypt and in fact can be reunited with them, except for the fact that the Egyptians don't want that Islamofascist refuse hole back. The Arab spring has allowed Gazans the opportunity of returning to the fold from whence they came. As far as our taxes go, we get a lot more "mileage" out of aid sent to Israel than to homicidal maniacs who want and try-some times successfully- to kill us. Israel has no margin for error.
15. #8 some differences
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (05.23.11)
I will try to help you understand. Gaza has a border with Egypt, a friendly culture with which they share culture, religion, language, history, genetics, in fact are the same as them. The democratically elected government of Gaza calls for the extermination of all the Jews. Most importantly, while the Arabs started many wars with Israel, Israel has never started a war with Gaza.
17. Well at least he knocked us to our sensabilities
Ypip ,   Canada   (05.23.11)
19. 4
birdi ,   israel   (05.23.11)
Harry do please remember that sunday is a working day here in Israel. 300 protesters is better than 0 protestors.
20. 300 evil people
Sam ,   ME   (05.23.11)
they are supporting the misery of 3 million people.
21. to #16 she is right, after the murder on Itamar
ghostq   (05.23.11)
when 2 year old Israeli baby was murdered by palis 3 months ago she is absolutly right. palis never took responsibility, the village near by even tried to cover for the murderers(two of them) if it wasn't for IDF ivestigation palis would never do anything to find the killers, btw after they killed they went back to the university where they learn on the WB.
22. to 18 farms?
ygalg ,   israel   (05.23.11)
the jews made the desert bloom in result there was an immigration from Arab countries. sought job opportunities which jews created in Israel. before that this country was a sand.
23. Obama's Speech
Ed Subowsty ,   McKinney US   (05.23.11)
obama is a national disgrace and an international embarassment to most Americans. The citizens of the USA will always stand firmly with you against the terroism of islam, the murderous ways of muslims and the ignorant monkeys of American politics. The arabs better get their littermates under control fast.
24. Tel Aviv:Hundreds Protest Obama Speech
Elaine ,   Cohoes,NY USA   (05.23.11)
Don't listen to obama,he does not even know how to handle our own affairs here in this country.What should be said to obama is "Mind Your Own Damn Business". I support you Israel and I Always Will.You are our friends,and you should not have to put up with someone telling you how to run your country.Israel is blessed and are the chosen people of God.We Stand With You.
