33. The One-Sided Reasoning Of Ms. Horing
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim   (08.29.12)
B"H The reasoning presented in this article is valid, but it not the only one and the Talmud teaches us that only the whole truth is truth, a partial truth is like a lie. An Israeli strike on Iran might in fact prove to the American Jewish voter that Mr. Hussein Obama is not a friend of Israel and to the average American voter that he is clueless. Ms. Horing, we appreciate your thinking of us on this side of the Atlantic, but believe you me, in the Israelis' mind the Iranian atomic issue far overrides the US presidential elections, and rightly so. For us this is not a political issue here, rather a life-or-death question and any delay for any reason could be fatal for millions of Jews: A second Holocaust. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes after the publication of this article, as it might influence some decision-makers and help provoke unthinkable consequences.
34. #7; US under Obama will be Greece
zipi ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (08.29.12)
Your naivete is shocking . Another4 years of Obama spending without control will backrupt the USA and they will need to beg money from China and Germany. In the past 4 years US increased it national debt by 5 trillion dollars to 16 trillion while all previous presidents combined gathered only 11 trillion in debt. Another 4 years and another 5 trillions will cause US to have over 85% of its revenues paying the debt. Walk up! US is on a financial cliff!
35. #13' US never fought a war for Israel
Ari ,   Chicago, USA   (08.29.12)
You are ani Israel moron!! Israel destroyed two nucelar reactors in Iraq and Syria without the help of the US. Israel does not need permission to attack or wants US to attack Iran instaed but defeating Obama will help to have a true freind in the White house l when the Muslim Brotherhood circle Israel.
36. To No. 5
Avi ,   Port Arthur,Tx   (08.29.12)
Unfortunately, you continue the embarrassing and absurd Israeli tradition of attacking an individual's opinion based upon their geographic location.The merits of a political argument regarding Israel do not have less credibility because those who express it are not located in Israel. You know nothing of this author including whether she is out of Israel temporarily or if her entire family is in Israel. Her argument is entirely correct. Any possible attack on Iran and its timing must take into account the disaster of four more years of Obama for both Israel and the US
37. #14, #5; Liberals always personal atatck
Avi ,   Miami   (08.29.12)
Why don't you respond to the article contents than attacking the author and Romney personally? US needs a successful man not a community organizer socialist or a professor detached from reality. You are repeating the propganada of Obama , If Romney did not pay taxes he would have been in jail. it is another diversion tactic of Obama from his failed policies. Why don't you atatck Obama personally? Why Obama does not reveal his transcripts from Harvard and Columbia? Did he get in because of affirmative action or as a foreign student. , What about all his PLO freinds like Kalidi and Said?
38. So True
Iris ,   Columbus, OH, USA   (08.29.12)
It is always an interesting election when there is an incumbent, and in this case a challenger without a national record. He can say anything he wants, but you have to look at what his reliability has been, and it is clear Romney will say just about anything to get elected. He'll repudiate his own initiative on health care, and if he is elected, I hope all those who think they know what he will do for Israel will be just as vocal as they are now. Obama hasn't done anything significant, but Bush didn't do Israel any big favors either so why would you expect his part-picked successor to do any better?
39. #7 Talk about ignorance!
Tam Highpoint ,   Prince George, USA   (08.29.12)
You said it all when you started with "I am amazed". You are one ignoramus and anything positive would amaze you - Obama said he would cut the deficit in half in the first two years - and you identified him correctly when you stated that it takes a real idiot to do what he has done in three1/2+ short years. We don't want to live in a 3rd world country; obviously you do. If Obama gets re-elected ( heaven forbid), you will get your wish. Wise UP!

Joshua ,   USA   (08.29.12)
You so remind me the typical Moron Republican! Bull Headed, Righteous, God Peddling, Know it All, and with the attitude that: "If we will just be dumb and arrogant enough - all will be well". I am well aware that most republicans are "Ignorant, Dumb and Proud of it". I hope that after next elections you will have 4 more years of Obama Presidency to boil in your own hateful juices and spew hate.
42. No. 25 Chaim
Joshua ,   USA   (08.29.12)
I don't know what you are smoking, but - would love to try it. You have an amazingly Republican Short Memory. Just to refresh your memory: When Bush left office, there were 7 millions unemployed. Government spending has increased almost 10 fold, the financial and housing markets were in tailspin and the American Voters dealt the Republican Party a devestating blow. Obama's tragic mistake was that instead of taking charge and pass ALL the legislation he wanted riding on the Democrats decisive control of both houses - he instead tried to play nice with the republicans, that is same as trying to play nice with Hamas. That cost him precious time and the mid term election put the Republicans back in control of the Congress, and, the rest is history. If you live in Israel - you have no clue as to what happens in the US. You are just a "Kashkeshan".

45. #42. Clueless and mindless defense of Obama.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.29.12)
#42. Firstly, Joshua, your foolish and puerile insults don't make your pathetically weak arguments any stronger. The facts are readily available and they all point to the tragic devastation of America under Obama. Your defense of Obama is clueless and mindless. Let's look at unemployment. Under Bush, it averaged about 5%. Under Obama, it averages 8.2%. However, that is only the official rate. It makes no account of the millions of Americans who quit looking for work under Obama's watch. The real unemployment rate under Obama, as compiled by Forbes and many other credible publications, is about 11%. You don't have a clue, Josha!
46. Joshua # 42
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (08.29.12)
Another liberal blaming everything on Bush and the Republican party. The housing markets and financial tailspin you talk about were because liberal democrats like Bill Clinton insisted that poor people be able to get loans to buy houses. People were buying houses they never would be able to afford and Bush had the misfortune to be president when it all collapsed. By the way, your post at # 41 shows you to be the one who is dumb, hateful, and ignorant. You are just another whiny liberal that can dish it out but can't take it. I hope you are really crying your eyes out in November so you can claim another election was stolen from you and we can get a president who has actually held a job.

48. #13, 27 Israel- the Success in ME
Dan ,   Houston, US   (08.29.12)
Israel economy is doing much better under Bibi free market than US under Obama's socialism. Isael is not a parasite; The Palestinians who rely on donations and handouts are the Parasites of the world; Israel can survive on its own; they are an amzing success story while every other Arab country are in desparate economic and human rights.
49. #7 Amazing Head-in-the-Sand Liberal
Rich ,   L.A., USA   (08.29.12)
You liberals seem devoid of the capacity for intellectual honesty and correct analytic abilities....so much so it is actually laughable! Bush was a disaster, but Obama is 3 times worse. So predictable that you have to insert some anti-Christian dig in as well. For your information (brace yourself cause this might make your head hurt), Obama has identified himself as a 'born again' Christian (of course that is absurd), and Romney as a Mormon isn't considered a Christian by most Christian denominations as Mormonism is considered a cult.
50. These posts are self-explanatory
Tom W ,   USA   (08.29.12)
Reading the posts opined by Americans, it reconfirms the last election result that 80% of the Jews voted for the left. Unlike the Israeli Eurasian Jewry - which represents diverse cultural, political backgrounds - American Jews are in an interconnected monolithic Marxist block. For them Socialism is the main goal to be attained and a religious nation- state like Israel will hinder the realizations of the Utopian Socialist dream. In that dream the people of the world, Jews, Arabs, Muslims, Christians, blacks and whites etc. will blend and form a homogeneous mass sharing a common culture minus religion. Every single radical Utopia ended in war, upheaval and bloodbath. Obama with his limited understanding of world history will unleash a hell of turmoil should he win.
51. To: No. 8
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.29.12)
Better ask your bookmaker about the Electoral College. The popular vote does not elect the president; the Electoral College does. On several occasions, the individual who won the popular vote did not win the presidency. Like I said -- just ask your bookmaker. Or your magic 8 ball.
52. To: No. 10
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.29.12)
Bush inherited an economy blasted by eight years of Bill Clinton. Or do you think that printing more money to reduce the deficit is particularly wise? The war in Iraq was not under false pretenses. All those WMDs that everyone worries about in Syria? Guess where they came from, and when.
53. To: No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.29.12)
I invite you to name so much as one war fought by the United States in Israel's behalf. JUST ... ONE.
54. To: No. 21
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.29.12)
First of all, I disagree with your assessment, but wouldn't the better course be to lean on our "good friends" the Saudis and our "good friends" the Kuwaitis -- both regimes around only thanks to the United States -- and tell them to jack up production levels? While keeping prices constant, of course. If they refuse, we can always say -- "okay, no more F-16s for you! -- and tell the Fifth Fleet to pull anchor and sail. By the way -- I hate to burst your bubble, but permit me to point out that only a token amount of America's petroleum imports come from the Middle East. Europe and Asia -- well, that would be their problem, wouldn't it?
55. #54. To Sarah B U.S.A.
Tom W ,   USA   (08.29.12)
Sorry being an interloper but you as "true" American you base your narrative on rational thinking. It's useless in this situation. What is going on here is the confrontation between hostile ideologies which more often than not led to war. Ideologues are inconvincible: leftists keep the fights on for their "New World" since the Parisian Commune of 1871. onward. Why give up now if they have a deity for leader like Obama?
56. Obama. . .
Iranian Hunter   (08.29.12)
Honestly. He is probably a smart guy that is misunderstood christian with a muslim name that can not stop MB from conquering Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Syria. Or he is Jimmy Carter on steroid and will blames Israel just like old Jimmy. Mitt Romney has great potential. But can he win ? Obama can lets immigrants become legal, say economy is improving and that he qould say if Romney wins US will go to war with Syria. That is unacceptable to americans.
57. Obama cannot be elected three times!
michael redbourn ,   arad israel   (08.29.12)
"If he is re-elected, after supporting the Israeli strike, President Obama, not needing the Jewish votes for reelection". What is the above nonsense?! If Obama is reelected then he can't be elected a third time! And if Israel waits until after the US election and Obama wins Israel would be in a terrible situation. hot-mic - "Tell Putin that I will have more flexibility after my reelection". Certainly one of the worst articles I've read in a long time, and definitely one of the most ignorant.
58. No. 29 Linda
NYC Girl   (08.30.12)
Have you been living in some freaking alternative universe? The Iranian regime refers to us as the Great Satan and burns the American flag and shouts "Death to America" and you still think they're only Israel's problem?
59. Great Idea
Mark be Josef ,   USA   (08.30.12)
First elect a puppet, then get American troops killed. At least Horing admits that getting the US into a war is the goal. Wonder how many of her kids will be in the Gulf serving on ships she expects to be hit by missiles in the counterattack she hopes will get the US to join the war?. Will she buy war bonds and pay increased taxes for the several trillion this cake walk will cost?
