31. Don't fall for it
Rick ,   Florida   (05.23.11)
Dear Israelis, Please don't fall for it. Obama's spewing Taqiyya from the very first day.
32. What about Jerusalem or right of return?
michael   (05.23.11)
Obama spaeks beautifully, but his vision scares me.
33. #18
(05.23.11)
''israel has to be a super power as china in economy'' -------------------------------------------------- Israel has a population of 7 million people. Its global exports are equal to 80 billion dollars. To put that in perspective , it is slightly less than twice as much as New Zealand. China has a population of over thirteen hundred million. The Chinese could house every Israeli and every New Zealander in a suburb of Beijing without anybody noticing the difference. You cannot become a superpower with a population of 7 million people. Stop dreaming.
34. There was no differnce between the two!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (05.23.11)
Yesterday's speech was a panic speech by Obama to try to get back the Jewish vote! Yes, he did clarify the '67 Borders thing which now the "basis" for negotiations. He did hammer the Palestinians a bit but most of the MK's don't understand English and had to rely on the translation. What was and it clear is that Israel has to make concessions and I don't understand why Minister Landau, who is a fluent English speaker, is so happy! You don't have to be a genius to see that the remote settlements and the illegal ones populated by religious zealots are going to have to be evacuated. I would like to know how this government is going to sell this to the right wing both within and without! One thing is certain though. The hostility between Obama and Netanyahu is so obvious and is probably doing quite a lot of damage to Israel's cause.
35. they simply do not recognize!
Sami ,   Milan Italy   (05.23.11)
Why the hell Obama doesn't say that even Abbas never spoke of an official aknowledgment of the State of Israel?
36. #23 FRANK - News Flash for you
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (05.23.11)
Obama is acting in the best interests of his Muslim co-religionists Meanwhile Obama is messing up the big piles of rocks in the Mediterranean, and adjacent waters like Egypt, Libya, Syria, Yemen, et al In case you're unaware, he got the USA involved in a third war, when it already to wars going on Now your Hero has circumvented Congress by insisting he has the right to continue the third War beyond the 60 days he was allowed, by Law Obama is a God to himself Look at how he increased the National Debt by 5 TRILLION Dollars, Unemployment is 9%, when he promised it wouldn't go over 8% Shovel ready jobs, yup, he sure did pile a load of turd’s on those shovels Obamacare, how do you like having that load shoved down your throat ? Price of gas, more than double what it was when he took office, which by the way, most of the oil for the gas, just happens to come from those pile of rocks and sand There is no such thing as “Fortress America” that died with WW2, the USA is too dependent upon the outside, that’s were American’s manufacturing is being done and where the jobs are
37. these morons are living in a dreamworld
Maloo   (05.23.11)
Israelis need to stop their elites they are destroying everything through sheer stupidity cowardice and indolence.
38. Words are cheap.
Gabe Yakmore ,   Canada   (05.23.11)
Calm down please. All Obumma is focused on is his second term. Nothing to cheer about.
39. #23 - newsflash... you need to shift your
seadog1946 ,   ArthurKill, NY   (05.23.11)
focus from the backwaters of the Meditterranean's Levantine coast. The real show is being downplayed... look to the interaction between Pakistan/China.
40. #23 Frank-el, Correct you are, but not on the pile of rocks.
Michael ,   California, USA   (05.23.11)
You need to come back and re-post what you wrote. But say something more positive about the "small pile of rocks" next time. Many Americans today were once from small pile of rocks places, maybe your ancestors also. This whole earth of ours is a small pile of rocks, relatively speaking. This and a lot of salty water too. Life came out of the salty water while small piles of rocks places have bred a lot of good ideas throughout history.
41. #26 Michael
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (05.23.11)
I might have been willing to go along with your idea, except for the fact you deserted and aren't able to help out Whaat is needed is perspirtation, not inspiration
42. #39 sea mongrel
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (05.24.11)
Yes, let's shift attention; Obama has just antagonized Pakistan because he gave the order to kill Bin Ladin who was in Pakistan, a sovereign nation, getting both their Military & Diplomatic Corps extremely pissed off With regard to China, he can't afford to antagonize them, the USA owes to much money, of which Obama is responsible for five Trillion Dollars of the debt Keep on posting, your ignorance is always good for a laugh
43. #41 Ben Jabo, I know you mean well ...
Michael ,   California, USA   (05.24.11)
You make gross assumptions Ben. Let's have a cuppacoffee next time I am in the Medine. I am sure you'll cheer up after I show you my perspiration. You know, Ben, whether you'll admit it or not, you have always trusted people like me, and because of us you can wave degel kahol lavan today. You can also give a little bit of credit for it to the U.S. and even to Barrack Obama (oh no, did I make you fall off your chair?) And until the cappacofee, how about cheering up your writing a little bit, Ben, so that we can chuckle once in a while. Please convey my regards to the Stuxnet gal.
44. #27
Dan ,   USA   (05.24.11)
Yes, I understand what you are saying but I feel certain that is not what Obama has in mind. Plus no government in its sane mind would allow a country they do not trust to drill under them.
45. #36, NOT FOR YOU
Frank-el ,   Seattle USA   (05.25.11)
Your anti-Obama rant was unnecessary since my post had nothing to do with you, assuming you are Israeli. You should act in the best interest of your country, which I assume is Israel. My beef is with US posters who clearly put tribal loyalty ahead of their own country's strategic interests. Jews first, Americans second should emigrate and then they can throw all the rocks they want at America. It must be nice knowing how many Americans are willing to subjugate and subvert their own goernment to please you...really!
46. #43 Michael - Check your e-mail !!
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (05.25.11)
47. #45 One more fact for you
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (05.25.11)
Nobody, least of all myself, is throwing rocks at America, just an incompetent President, like Obama, who isn't even aware of what year it is 2008 was three years ago, he signed the guestbook with that date instead of 2011--He thinks so highly of himself, he's out of touch with reality Face the facts, it wasn't a rant, it's a rehash of all of his failures If anything I said in #36 is untrue, point it out, instead of referring to it as a rant Your #45 said exactly nothig, you wasted space and my time to reply to your rant
48. #45 Sorry! I left one fact out
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (05.25.11)
Where are the "Green Jobs" that Obama promised ? Add that to his list of broken promises and failaures
