No - American voters - including us Jews - need to elect a president who puts American interests first. The Republican machine is bad for most Americans' long-term interests, and they will support Israel only as long as it puts money in the coffers of billionaires. I am sick of dumping my tax money down the bottomless pit known as Israel, which has demonstrated its unwillingness to work for meaningful negotiations with the Arabs. I am not pro-Palestinian, but Israel needs to understand that the "Palestinian cause" has a point and that JUSTICE needs to prevail, not nationalist or religious extremisim.

and Shoula - may I ask -- if you are such a gung-ho prop Israel person, born in Israel ---- why do you live in the US? Shouldn't you be in our homeland defending it?

That is stated the obvious!!!

You talk alot of rubbish, israel has many friends in the US who would prefer to put there lives into the state of israel, makeing what ever sacrifice needed , rather than giveing the palestines any more than they already have, dont talk crap about americans, will they vote abama out in the next election, who knows , but if he keeps deceiving the population he may just be the lame duck he sugested WB was.His islamic ideas are comeing out of him, building bridges for the US with the arabs is his job, but it wont help him in the long run if he continues to try and create a long term bridge with a people who wont accept a jewish state, because a Nil recognition of a jewish state is not acceptable to anyone in the real world, So whos waisting whos money afterall - Obama -.

do not trust sombody who gives you 3 bil a year, veto resultions in the un in order to sace your ass, and is standing all alone in the world defending you. Shoula, go back to school sweetheart if you have an fuctioning cells left.

Religious conservative Jews and their religious conservative Christian/Jew supporters in the U.S. will drag everyone else to the brink because of ignorance/elitism.

What is remarkable is not that Obama affirms this, but that he is perceived as being any different for other presidents. For decades, the U.S. position has supported a return to pre-'67. But times have changed, as AIPAC and the larger Israel Lobby have never been more powerful.

... with Ms. Horing. Obama cannot be trusted, and Israel does not trust him -- witness Netanyahu's speech to the United States Congress, hastily rewritten from its much more conciliatory original. It was calculated to embarrass the United States president and that is exactly what it did. The president is seriously out of tune with the American people who elected him to office. The multiple thunderous standing ovations received by Prime Minister Netanyahu should have served notice on the president as to the degree to which his personal agenda is out of step with the wishes of the American people. The speech was certainly not lost on the leaders of the G8 nations. Obama is a lame duck. His presidency has been a disaster. He no longer fools the American electorate, despite the fact that he appears to be busily continuing to delude himself.

Please recount for me all the beneficial legislation and foreign policy announcements emanating from the Obama administration which have benefited the people of the United States. Your tax dollars aren't being "dumped" into Israel, but if it is bottomless pits you are looking for, how about Jordan? Egypt? The "Palestine" Authority? Saudi Arabia? Iraq? The vast majority of U.S. foreign aid to Israel takes the form of joint venture investment capital, which has produced incredible advancements, principally in the scientific and medical fields, which have benefitted the United States, Israel, and much of the rest of the world. What have the ersatz "Palestinians" done for you lately, except cheer and applaud and rejoice as the Twin Towers came down? Hmm? You are quite the fool, sir. Best acquire an education before posting here; we'll chew you up and spit you out.

it is 2 years and 4 months and Bibi got more standing ovation time before congress in one speech than obumma got in two years and 4 months and as there is no hope of any peace negotiations, obumma can be declared as having failed at his goal. There will be no pa state in Sept. and it is time to just annex whatever area Israel wants for exclusive Jewish towns and set up autonomous local arab governments in the remaining areas. Tell the world there will be no "state" but these people can live there forever with the blessing of Israel and the rest of the world.

They need to work together to get this reswolved. What Isreal needs to realize taht they are more of a burden than anything else and being ARROGANT to our President is way out of bounds.Without us they last 18 minutes. There arrogance has fueled there isolation

How much did the RNC pay for this article?

If the UN charter said that no vote is possible at the UN General Assembly before the Security Council agrees to it. Then a US veto will be enough to stop this farce and another anti Israel bashing. So why Obama is giving so many concesions to the Palestinians and endangering Israel?

and you all know it. In my personal opinion, the Palestinian-Israeli negotiations should be based on the 1948 borders.

Is this supposed to be news? You should figured that out with the Rev. Wright tapes.

fom Brooklyn .First, come and live a year in Sderoth. Second, try to remember where was "justice" observed during WW II while Jews were gassed, The British and the Americans turned their heads away against all proof shown to them. Auschwitz borders? Never again Mr. Abramowitz, as long as Israel fights for its citizens and for you, you can afford to criticize Israel, from a far away and secure Brooklyn.

and yet you will all see, that he will win a second term in office. Why??? because, People are to blinded to see the writing on the Wall! Any person with some belief in other than themselves, like THE Creator, Master of the Universe, thing, knows that it all has to come to an end, and someone has to bring it on. BUT, it doesn't have to be this way. Trying to convince the World, NOW, that Israel has a 4000 year old bond with our Promised Land is 63 years to late, as you still have self hating Israelis rallying behind the arab cause. But they are allowed to, because, we are a democracy, and you can say what the f you want and be praised for it, even become a MK to boot.

...wonder why?do not need a University master to understand ....He want to talk to Iran,he is not against Islam etc..etc..Obuma Hussein is only against Israel and Jews...make his term the shortest in American History...

if you trace obama's time in new york and chicago, you see that he was exposed to said and later and mor eimportantly rashid khalidi's teachings and views on the middle east. Given that obama has had a moslem experience in his youth, as well as that he is black, he identifies naturally with the palestinians and the oppression model of south african. That khalidi distorts the historical reality is a fact and obama cannot see through his false narrative. Obamas' best family friends were the khalidi's over regular dinners. Obama is not a jimmy carter coward. But he has as horing says, a natural affinity for the palestinians and that is his right. Israel has to protect itself up front and not as livni/omert suggest-make concessions and then run to the US and tony blair to enforce the terms of the peace. No, Israel has to be soverieign and control the keys to its security which means the golan is israeli, jordan valley has to be israeli, and west bank ridges have to be in israel's hands. The real solution would be to revisit the UN balfour mandate and open up the jordan aspect of the mandate which was robbed away from the parties to jordan. There is not enough space in israel's current location to accomodate 2 states.

Obama's long standing spiritual counselor said it all. By its total lack of experience in geopolitics, and the childish angelism he thinks he can use as a replacement, not only Obama directly threatens Israel, as seen, but he also undermines US credibility. He acts more as some priest, whom we know who how spiritual father sounds, than as a cold blooded, efficient, President of the United States

When the truth is that one of the first things the Israeli PM did was to support the creation of a Palestinian state. And during his last visit to Washinton he told the entire world that HE would be generous and give lots of Jewish land to the state of Palestine. Every column dedicated to attack either the PA or the US is one column less to expose the real agents behind the partition of Israel: the Israeli left, which holds power in Israel's most important institutions, including government institutions. What this relentless blaming of Obama does is to support the BAD COP - GOOD COP deception being perpetrated on the Jews of Israel. Obama and Netanyahu are on the same page: partition of Israel, creation of a Palestinian state, eviction of all except the largest settlements. As far as Jerusalem goes, the promise of a united Jerusalem does not specify the size of a united Jerusalem. All facts on the ground point to full Arab sovereignty in the eastern part of the city.

obama is a liar. he can not be trusted. Dirty, dirty politician. Look at the forged birth certificate he posted at whitehouse.gov

obama is not only sympathizing with Americas enemies but is also oppressing his own citizens in the U.S. by his dictator style of leadership and big government socialist agenda being forced upon the people. When in fact the majority of U.S. citizens oppose what obama is doing.

no one can trust obama

Jews never trust anyone but they trust themselves only. I was living in a Jewish Neighborhood for 18 years until they immigrated to Israel and I know them very well. No matter how much you give them still they don't trust you.

What short memories!! Dubya Bush ALREADY eliminated Israel's bargaining chips by DEMANDING creation of a "Palestinian" state! Dubya opened Pandora's Box!

While the First Amendment prohibits Congress from establishing a religious state, Congress has always sought to establish Israel with blank checks and unlimited arms, including nuclear weapons; all contrary to US and International law. How long will the USA and Israel remain above the law? How long will the international community stand by and witness the brutal rape of the Palestinians?

WE ALL UNDERSTAND everything what was written in article. It's a matter of politics and american right to choose between bad and really S%#@ty? not the trust. Like if they had McCain it would be a lot easier for us. And stop all this gibberish about "should we trust obama". We have what we have and should play with the cards at hand.
