31. Ahmadinejad is much funnier to say
Yossi ,   Ashkelon   (12.13.11)
It just describe the kind of decision makers the US got today. Here it is the 'O Word' that is a big shame to say. It is synonym of endangering the world peace by letting the iranian getting their most advanced UAV.
32. If bibi could run for POTUS, then he would
jason white ,   afula, israel   (12.13.11)
beat b.o. badly. The n-word nothing would describe b.o. and his gang. Nothing, but a bunch of anti Semitic,anti Zionists. As for the Hanukah celebration in the White House, I hope b.o. burns like a candle along with hitlery clinton and panetta.
33. What about the 'O word'?
Bash ,   Ashdod   (12.13.11)
Much more irresponsible word
34. US Jews : Remember what happened to US Japanese in WW II
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (12.13.11)
35. Goo ! Who wants to be friend of Hussein Obamas clan ?
who cares   (12.13.11)
To be disliked by the present uS administration is an honouer : you must do something right if they dont like you ! Keep on keeping on Bibi ! Am Israel chai !
36. The Blame Bibi game
Menachem ,   Israel   (12.13.11)
Israel's leaders are elected by the Israeli people and not by US pseudo-liberals. Left-extremists like spineless and self-hating national leaders. This is the reason why they don't like the patriot and stateman Prime Minister Netanyahu who stands heads and shoulders above pathetic excuses for leaders like Obama, Livni and Sarkozy.
37. funny when mr. hellenism is celebtrating chanukka
uli ,   jerusalem   (12.13.11)
maybe someone should explain him the meaning
38. You are wrong
Sorry ,   Israel (Lives!!!)   (12.13.11)
G-d rules Israel, not Netanyahu. In the end, when all is said and done. G-d's will WILL be done. And you leftists aren't going to be happy.
39. Liberal Democrat Party is
Alex ,   Moskow   (12.13.11)
the name of Russian fashist party. May be Obama is Moslem extremist like his closest friend Khalidi, but Obama is not the follower of Hitler.
40. #34, I have been thinking about it and even if we had war
Henry from New York ,   USA   (12.13.11)
with Israel, the government would most likely not intern US Jews, especially given that it would go against the Civil Rights Act of 1968 with regard to housing rights. Not to mention the much more obvious reasons it couldn't happen. Could you give your scenario where we get interned in the US? I cannot think of one.
41. #37, #39
Henry from New York ,   USA   (12.13.11)
#37, while I get the reference to the Seleukids and Ptomelies and the Maccabbean Rebellion, I don't think Obama is much into Greek culture. #39, nope they're generally a very liberal party. They just don't do much.
42. #334 Noodles - How About U.S. Germans
BEN JABO ,   ISRA EL   (12.13.11)
First World War, Wilson put them in camps? Or German Jews,pre-World War 2, when Nazi's gathered them up for transport, despite many of them having served the Kaiser during WW 1, displaying the medal they had earned as they were loaded on the trucks headed to the extermination camps, fat lot of good the medals did them
43. #42 BEN, it is well known the facilities already exist
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (12.13.11)
44. #40 - naievete
yosef ,   memphis   (12.13.11)
Did you not read the news last week? "The US Senate voted Thursday night to approve a military funding bill that...explicitly authorizes the military’s indefinite detention without trial of American citizens and mandates that all non-citizens charged as terrorists be detained indefinitely by the military rather than brought to trial in a civilian court." Who determines who is hostile? Who is not a citizen? What if you have dual citizenship?
45. #44 yosef - Senate passed Bill
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.13.11)
How about the House? Senata by its lonesome isn't adequate
46. 343 Noodles - You're generalizing
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.13.11)
Where and when are they, pls. be specific,while you're at it, supply the sources for your information Lots of rumors abound, they have for quite some time, rumor don't make it fact
47. Most US Jews love Israel
Reuven   (12.14.11)
48. To #4
Daddyo ,   Penllyn USA   (12.14.11)
Hey, Graczek, I just won the Polish million dollar lottery: $1 per year for a million years........
49. #44, more likely targetted at Mexicans and Muslim Americans
Henry from New York ,   USA   (12.14.11)
I would say that either being born here or having a U.S. Passport would be pretty good indication of citizenship. Even if you have dual citizenship, you're still a citizen of the U.S. Now, given the influence that we have in the country, and the multiple other groups currently being shown the utmost hostility in our country, I must ask you this: What on God's green Earth would make you think that this is targeted at American Jews? It always good to be watchful for signs of danger, but some Jews are far too paranoid (like my mother who doesn't like travelling to any part of Europe once occupied by Nazis). If we have another Kristallnacht, then I would get suspicious. However, the portion of the population that really dislikes us is small and very poor (and we all know that the poor have zero influence except in great numbers with a leader taking advantage of their suffering).
50. Pres Obama and American Jews
david goldberger ,   cooper city,fl usa   (12.14.11)
First of all the article is totally exagerated,however Bibi is tied in with the luatic Shas party and Lieberman he can't seem to make any decisions. I noticed that most of your talk back writers just Obama without any reason. Everyone to them a lousy leftist. This quite disgusting. This is not excuse the jews in america assimilating to the point that it does not matter what they think. They are better than Israelis. These are jews with an intermarriage rate of over 50%.Good riddance to bad rubbish.
51. #46 I tried to give you what I consider a reasonable...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (12.14.11)
response, but Ynet put the kibosh on it, for their own reasons. It's kind of hard to keep up a dialogue under those circumstances.
52. Noodes, I appreciate your effort
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.14.11)
Try again, maybe changing it just a bit so that it will get through
53. #52 BEN JABO
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (12.14.11)
It may have been the link I provided that they frowned upon, but try googling "FEMA camps" and you should find the information I was trying to get to you.
54. #49 - I appreciate...
yosef ,   memphis   (12.14.11)
...your innocence but your own words on the post show the degree of naivete that should concern. Kristalnacht? US population that dislikes Yids - "small and very poor" you say. I would guess you either live insulated within a fellow Hasidic community or are very secular.
55. #53 Noodles - Thanks
BEN JABO ,   ISRA EL   (12.14.11)
I will look into it, sure sound nasty as hell, sort of like mother Russia or maybe Adolfs clone
56. #54, actually Upper East Side of Manhattan, and I'm Reform.
Henry from New York ,   USA   (12.14.11)
The place you live in though is Memphis. Memphis is a very poor city and not at the centre of influence in this country. It may be you run into more antisemetism (always had trouble spelling that word) there, but it is not a very good indicator for the rest of the country. Even if the group isn't as small as I think in your mind, it is still typically the poor with few exceptions, and most of those have their anger focused more on Mexicans.
57. N word
Golda ,   Vancouver Canada   (12.20.11)
I am new to this dialogue and the word "jstreeter". Please what does this mean?
