1. Obama is Israel's enemy
Salahuddin ,   Chicago, U.S   (06.17.12)
Obama is not only Israel but United States enemy. He is destroying its economy and wants a senseless war between Israel and Iran. He is an enemy. Another corrupt Baglojevich sitting in the White. While his similitude is serving 14 years in Jail. Jewish people don't condemn him openly for fear of their lives globally. Obamas mafias are everywhere and can be easily destroyed but who cares. People are adjusting themselves to his ugly presidency mafia tactics. Obama also has plans to get Mitt Romney killed in August or September this year. Very close to President Zardari of Pakistan. In fact his very close buddy.
2. Mr Romney is a very simpathic gentleman
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (06.17.12)
But he has no chance to win the elections. The ethnicity of US people has changed so much in the past decade, that a white man unable to win it.
3. Friends
Ethan ,   Eilat   (06.17.12)
We do not need to accept the friendship of everyone who claims to be our friend. Neither Romney nor evangelical Christians offer goods in OUR best interest. The United States under the Leadership of President Barack Hussein Obama has been reliably by our side despite the shenanigans of our present government.
4. Israel would be in for a rough....
Robert ,   Australia   (06.17.12)
....time if this Mor(m)on is elected. Obama has prevented a war between Iran and Israel by reining in Israeli warmongers thereby saving many Israeli lives. He has announced his absolute support of Israel. What exactly has Obama done to show disrespect for Netanyahu? If anything it is the total opposite. Netanyahu along with the bulk of ynet posters show a severe lack of respect for Obama with almost every post.
5. Revolution
British mother ,   UK   (06.17.12)
I actually think Romney's election, If he started a war with Iran whilst 30% of American families descend into poverty (and rising) would kick off a revolution in the US. A peaceful one, a bit like the collapse of the USSR. Maybe its best to get it over and done with. I don't care who gets elected. They are all as bad as each other. Romney's election would just speed things up. Actually seriously he would be a disaster but mayne americans need that disaster to get everyone on board to win back their democracy. US elections are so corrupted by money and cheating now.
6. If Romney is so interested in Israel he...
Chris.B ,   Australia   (06.17.12)
should move there because he has no place in American politics. What is a presidential candidate doing running on a mandate about another country that isn't his own in the first place.You would think he was trying to be elected in Israel. Israels value to America is nill more a thorn in American foreign policy that has caused it more harm than good. Time for America to insist Israel stand on its own for once. If Israel wants to attack Iran, so be it! Let the chips fall as they may..
7. Obama is a BUM.....
the missus   (06.17.12)
end of story!
8. MOST OF THE TALK-BACK............#4
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (06.17.12)
Response to such articles make it look as though Iran is so weak that the Israelis will have least problem on Iran's response to such an Israeli's attack.Leat do they realise Iran's probable response to such madness.Had they known it,they would definitely excercise prudence,
9. he's got my vote!
nadav ,   tlv   (06.17.12)
there is a reason why 88% of americans living in israel are voting Republican! they know the left has always been against israel- they cannot stomach the idea of a nation state of the Jews because they refuse to recognize Jews as a nationality!
10. We don't have to respect Obama
Daniel ,   Amsterdam   (06.17.12)
We are free citizens Obama has been two faced at best. We are not slaves, we don't have to say thank you for being slapped in the face. Pretty soon we won't need your money. What are you going to say then?
11. To #'s 3 and 4
Eli ,   Jerusalem   (06.17.12)
We are certainly not on the same planet. Obama is the most anti Israel President since the State was founded. His policies are pro Palestinian in the extreme. Even if he did not hate us his naivete in believing that the palis want peace (not our piece meal destruction) is hard to believe. All the pressure has been on Israel and nothing on the Arabs who will not even come to the negotiating table. As for Iran, he simply talks and waits for them to have nuclear weapons. His own VP stated that Israel will just have to "deal with it" that Iran will be a nuclear power as if it is a fate accompli. Robert should get out from down under more often if he failed to notice that when Bibi went to the US Obama treated him with disrespect. He should also take note that in a democracy Ynet posters have an absolute right to speak as disparagingly about anyone they wish including their own PM. However, the disrespect of one government to another is not on the footing nor should it be. I'd love to know what drugs you guys are on.
12. #3 and #4
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (06.17.12)
Obama is an Arab firster who has caused Israel grievous damage, but that is totally irrelevant. Americans, not Israelis, are the ones who decide whether Obama or Romney will be president, and the Americans will have to look at Obama's record: Obama has silenced critics like Assange and homosexual activist Bradley Manning. Obama has killed countless civilians in Afghanistan, during his illegal war in Libya and now in Syria. Obama has supported the most offensive apartheid regimes, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, when they slaughtered peaceful protesters. Obama is bringing the world dangerously close to confrontation with his lies and attacks on Russian and Chinese interests. Obama started a trade war with China because they tried to reduce emissions and world dependence on oil by making accessible solar energy. Since he has been an unmitigated failure, Obama will win or lose because of the color of skin and because the oil and weapons industries love him.
13. Romney will SAY ANY LIE to get elected
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (06.17.12)
So Israel had better hope he isn't elected because the results will be, at best, terrible for Israel and could be catastrophic. The hard reality is the US is a dying empire (just like all the empires before it, that have died) and Romney will mismanage that dying process terribly. In your blind and irrational hatred of Obama, you fail to think about exactly what Romney is proposing and what it could mean to the future of Israel. Exactly what do you think will happen to Israelis when a massive war is started in the ME? Do you think life in Israel will just continue? Do you really think the US, which has LOST the last three major wars it started, will not lose to Iran? And when the US loses to Iran, where does that leave Israel? Supposedly Israelis are really smart, but their ACTIONS over the last 60 years make that sound like empty bragging. Use that brain and THINK about what your future will be, instead of just blindly cheering Romney.
14. NO ONE IS ON ANY DRUGS............#11
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (06.17.12)
But you may rest assured that the opposite actions will bring much more opposite results.Make a choice and make it fast!!!
15. The Presidency deserves respect not Obama the community
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (06.17.12)
organizer.He always voted present in Chicago except when it came to a botched abortion where a nurse was attempting to save the baby he was against it.In the U.S. Senate most of the time he voted present again never taking a stand.
16. To #14
Eli ,   Jerusalem   (06.17.12)
You need to know that no Israeli government will allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons....this is simply the truth. In your "world" you probably believe that everyone has the right to anything they want. However, when you are dealing with a middle ages deviant fanatic mindset you do not allow 5 year olds to play with guns because there is no rationality as to how they will use them. To allow Iran to have weapons of mass destruction is to simply wait for the day when these maniacs decide to bomb Israel even at the cost of their own destruction. This we can never allow.
17. 13 Obama will say any lie to .......
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (06.17.12)
stay in office. The US is dying because of people like Obama. We lose wars in part because we fight stupid and let politicians get involved. Vietnam is a good example. We didn't mine Haiphong harbour and we didn't hold on to territory. We would fight and die to take a hill and then leave. Days or weeks later we would go back and fight and die to take it again. Exactly what do you think will happen to Israel if we or they just sit back and let Iran have nuclear weapons? It isn't Israel thats not using it's brain here Spyguy.
18. 4# That's because Obama will throw Israel under the bus
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (06.17.12)
as soon as he gets his Jewish votes...and heads back to the golf course for four more years of vacation on the taxpayers dime.
19. 13# Lost three wars???
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (06.17.12)
You liberals rant and rant and rant....then you all start to believe all of your rants.
20. Pollard is the "TEST" !... Nothing else !
Roland Seener ,   London England   (06.17.12)
21. Shoes up on at the desk for bibi, full bowing to saudi king!
A buma ,   earth   (06.17.12)
those pictures bely the fact that obama has been more distant from Israel than any other. of the top of my head 1) emphasized a Jew expanding his porch in judea and samaria was the cause of problems on the middle east.hello? arab "spring". Yankels extra square feet are not causing shias and sunnis from blowing the shote ut of each other in iraq. libya from melting down, etc syria, etc. 2) didn't prevent the pals from getting unesco membership 3) didn't veto (which the US has power to do) several UN condemnations of Israel. UN- read "Oil majority" 56 muslim states, 23 arab... O'bama is A-buma
22. "Our friends the Turks and the Saudis?"......
Wallid ,   USA   (06.17.12)
This guy js as clueless as Obama...
23. no. 12 is the silliest post....
Kim ,   Israel   (06.17.12)
...I've ever read on ynet. It's a parody, right? You're trying to make Israelis look stupid, aren't you? Everything you say is either factually wrong or interpreted in such an incredibly biased fashion as to be worthless as anaylsis.
24. #19 what is your delusional thinking on Vietnam, Iraq &
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (06.17.12)
Afghanistan? All sane, reasonable people agree that the US LOST all three wars. You may not want to hear that but it is the TRUTH. The US will do even worse in the next war.
25. Do the opposite of Obama and be a great president.
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.17.12)
Romney is right on target. Obama is infallibly wrong on virtually every issue from the economy, to unemployment to taxes, foreign policy and, of course, Israel. If Romney does the opposite of Obama; history will record him among America's great presidents.
26. #5 brit mum What He'll Do Know About
(06.17.12)
Voting When brits and Too many territories Have Been UNDER THE ROYAL MONACH THUMB for how long? Remember You don't have enough fingers and toes to Count that high!

27. #26
British Mum ,   UK   (06.17.12)
The oligarchs and robber barons have replaced King George. You are still getting robbed blind lovey. War makes a few people rich. Everyone else is just cannon fodder including your kids who joined the military. I think we would have to start a long conversation and start at the beginning and as you wait hours for Ynet posts to load....this ain't the place. You gotta grab your country back mate. So do we.
28. Will Romney FREE POLLARD ? (End).
Nora Tel Aviv   (06.17.12)

So Saddam won in 2003 then?
30. #23 except
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (06.17.12)
Parody and silly maybe, except my predictions seem to come true every time. The only prediction I remember getting wrong is I thought Mubarak would hold out 6 more months and make an orderly transition of Egyptian government.
