31. OIL PRICES
Mike caton ,   USA   (03.06.12)
The upshot: Israelis will have to run the real risk of being vaporized so that US oil prices don't rise even more; this would be a treat to Obummer's re-election. Israel should not agree to this lethal tot for tat.
32. was there ever a question?
les ,   canada   (03.06.12)
ISRAEL MUST LOOK AFTER HER OWN SURVIVAL FIRST! the US always have been a close friend and ally of israel, but also looked after their own interest first, as every nation must do. the choice of being re-elected, or save israel, guess what obama will choose.....?
33. It looks to me it will be sooner than soon

Rivkah   (03.06.12)
35. To all you courageous war mongers . . .
nibor ,   israel   (03.06.12)
If Israel bombs Iraq, its' we Israelis in Israel who will get bombed back. Maybe Israel as a whole will survive, but so many of us will pay the price.
36. Israel will have to depend on herself.
Reuven   (03.06.12)
Obama can not be depended on.
37. stop feeling sorry for yourselves
alexi   (03.06.12)
all of israel-stop feeling sorry for yourselves. America is exhausted and will not do anything like in 67. Stop even asking them to attack iran. Stockpile arms, spare parts, fuel, planes and missiles. Fortify cities and towns with more asap shelters now and ensure complete distribution of gas masks. positioin extra iron dome batteries now. Take out the plan and practise it preferectly. And when you fight,it is to save the jewish ciitizenry from subjugation and threats from anyone whoever they may be. Fight like the bielskis, all of you and do israel proud.
38. JESUSALEN
cristian ,   JESUSALEN   (03.06.12)
this is just the beginning,corrupt governments are seeing that internet and social networks are the way to unify the struggle of peoples who feel exhausted and mocked by their political shit,therefore start with this and then go more far and when we want to remember,there will be so much censorship that we will not be able to communicate freely without these criminals spy us,corrupt democracies have few days,will come changes in global society and the rulers know that is going to happen,let us not move more on privacy,greetings and to fight all together
39. #35. It's FAR more dangerous to let Iran build nukes.
Chiam ,   Israel   (03.06.12)
#35. Nobody ever said there are no risks in destroying Iran's nukes. However, the risks of letting Iran build functional nuclear bombs are INFINITELY worse. In fact, it would be downright lunatic to allow the Mad Mullahs to build nukes.
40. Really?
jc ,   Denver usa   (03.06.12)
Seriously? US has to much influence to let Barry slide....grow a pair please.
41. Defend Israel!!!
Deb ,   Nebraska USA   (03.06.12)
I pray God invades Obama's thoughts, dreams and visions!! America MUST stand with Israel!! Regardless of popular worldly commentary, if we love God and live for Him like we say we do, then there should be NO QUESTION that we MUST support and defend Israel!!! I do not want to stand before God on jusdgment day knowing I did nothing to God's chosen people!!
42. Wake UP America!!
Deb ,   Nebraska USA   (03.06.12)
I am an American who supports Israel!! I pray our President wakes up and leads our Country to do the right thing!
43. Between the lines
John ,   NY, NY   (03.06.12)
President Obama said it clearly - Israel can do whatever it wants for itself BY ITSELF. We reject your attempts to sucker us into your nasty little internecine war like you tried with the Lavon Affair and the USS Liberty.
44. Dear Bibi please let me know 24 hrs ahead
Barack Soetoro Obama ,   Washington DC   (03.06.12)
So I can inform my friend the Ayatoilet
45. Obama spoke all right. Will he also act...??
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.06.12)
46. @ 23 Sarah B...as usual.
Bob ,   NYC, USA   (03.06.12)
Glad to see you feel this way, sweetie. So feel free take your sugar nips across the pond and live in Israel for good. No need to place U.S.A. after your name anymore if you have such disdain for this country. And, if our military is SO inept, then we will just stay out of your way. All you. Have fun. We'll enjoy the fireworks on TV this time. Also, I'm sure the IDF would LOVE to have someone as BRAVE as you on the front lines in an infantry outfit. Or are you the typical lawyer...good with words...not so great with a gun? Oh, and one more little thing, don't let the door hit you on the way out of MY country, toots.
47. Obama is an ego maniac.
EZRA THE PROUD JEW ,   USA-ISRAEL   (03.06.12)
Re-election is foremost in his mind; he doesn't care about whether or not he's good for the country or the world, he just wants to stay in the white house. Although he does surprise us once in a while (osama assasination and the american born al-queda operative he killed in yemen). But he has no specific direction; he's all over the place and he's very bad for the american economy. A romney-santorum ticket would defeat him. Hopefully they'll put their egos aside and team up.
48. Attacking Iran
ltrail ,   United States   (03.06.12)
Israel says, "Washington refused to accept the Israeli intelligence analysis. It took the Americans two years to become persuaded. " All the President of the USofA is concerned with, is that if the USofAi or Israel attacked Iran, the price of oil would go up. That affects the outcome of the 2012 Presidential Election.
49. # 13
(03.06.12)
Do you hear Israel threatening it's neighbors with annihilation like the Mulah's in Iran are saying about Israel?? My recollection..... NO! One point, Israel has the nukes as a deterant and not threatening its neighbors with them. To sum this up.....Your simply a moran!!!
50. Israel's Disappointment With US.
Nadya ,   California, U.S.A.   (03.06.12)
I'm glad you have been able to resolve the issue "of being master of your own fate". I for one will be very happy when Natanyahu and his entourage return to Israel. Natanyahu's consistent appeal to fear and warmongering is disgusting. America is Not going to war for Israel or anyone else, we have to get our finances and country back on track. Handle your affairs by yourself and be master of your fate. It's hard to believe that Israeli's can put up with this on a daily basis, don't you tire of the constant incitement by your leaders??
51. # 35
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.06.12)
''If Israel bombs Iraq'' you mean, if Israel bombs Iran.
52. Bob # 46
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (03.06.12)
It isn't your country Bob, it's OUR country. By the way, I think you spelled your name wrong. It needs another "o" in it. BOOB.
53. Birdi # 51
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (03.06.12)
After reading post 35 I think it's Nibor who is bombed.
54. PM Netanyahu..Either allow Israel to fight or quit...
Al   (03.06.12)
THis is 1967 all over again. Then as now, the world was waiting for Isreal to be hammered. DO NOT WAIT... Take a page from M Begin when he leveled the Iraqis nuclear facility. Then the entire world was pissed off. So what! Its now or never. AMERICA under Obama will allow you to be destroyed. You do not have a friend in the WH today. You must do what you have to do to survive. The Iranians want you all dead including my only two sons. I appeal to you to do what has to be done. Dont wait for anyone to come to Israels rescue. No one will life a finger for Israel save the Israeli Jews. You know that, we all know that.

Birdi ,   Israel   (03.06.12)
Rofl Eagle. Good one !!
56. Rob #12, when the Lion of the Tribe of Judah ...
J Galt ,   Hidden Valley, USA   (03.06.12)
has your back you don't worry about dogs of any size or egotistic politicians like the holder of the Office of President of the USA. In fact, you know that someday all those politicians and the followers of that false god allah are going to bow to the Lion to whom you belong.
57. # 13
Birdi-huh ,   Israel & proud of it   (03.06.12)
Sorry to burst your brain, Israel has over 300 of those powerful boom booms. And no we have never threatened any country with our nuclear boom booms.
58. #56 Mr. G.
Rob ,   Orangevale U.S.A.   (03.06.12)
I agree with you 100%. When God says it's over, it's over. I have lived long enough to understand that no man understands God. He was there during the Shoa, He was there in Egypt, He was there when Israel was reborn. He will always be. The Jewish people dont have anymore a recipe detailing His timing than anyone else. We all await the Lion Of Judah. Shalom . Rob
59. The World is Tired of Warmongers Bibi
Talcott ,   OC USA   (03.06.12)
Who was the only country to use atomic weapons in war, and on civilians at that? Who was the last country Persia(iran) invaded, and why? What was the religious leaders of said Islmaic republic opinion of atomic weapons?
60. Well Spoken #42 ... Well Spoken
World Citizen ,   the world   (03.06.12)
I have often wondered why Sarah hasn't moved to Israel for good. Surely she must hate every minute she spends in the USA. And I'm sure that the Israeli military could use someone with the strategic and tactical military insight that she has. Make they could make her a general?
