1. Romney 2012
SD Charger ,   San Diego   (08.31.12)
If you vote for BO again, Iran will continue to do whatever they want to with Obama as the POTUS. This is YOUR chance to take a stand with Romney against Iran. Romney is not looking for a fight with Iran, but he will NOT allow them to continue down the path they are currently going. It wouldn't surprise me if Obama strikes Iran in order to save his presidency though, he needs something drastic to happen to save his presidency. Romney is more trustworthy then Obama as well. He will do what he says.
2. Almostright,Bibi through Israel under the bus.
miki ,   tampa fl   (08.31.12)
3. What rubbish!
Robert ,   Australia   (08.31.12)
It will probably appeal to brainless voters however.
4. i hope US jews who cares for israel won't vote BHO
dovdevan ,   ashdod,paris   (08.31.12)
IF he throw israel under the bus in his first mandate what will he do in his second term ?
5. Obama is Jimmy Carter number 2
edan ,   haifa   (08.31.12)
the only 2 american presidendts in the history of israel that the majority of the israelis public really hate
6. Romney was Pretty Clear
Mark of Lewiston ,   USA   (08.31.12)
He pretty much promised an invasion of Iran and a military confrontation with Russia. Y-Net shoud have used the full and extended quote: "No Mr. President, America has freed other nations from dictators. Every American was relieved the day President Obama gave the order, and Seal Team Six took out Osama bin Laden. But on another front, every American is less secure today because he has failed to slow Iran's nuclear threat. In his first TV interview as president, he said we should talk to Iran. We're still talking, and Iran’s centrifuges are still spinning. President Obama has thrown allies like Israel under the bus, even as he has relaxed sanctions on Castro's Cuba. He abandoned our friends in Poland by walking away from our missile defense commitments, but is eager to give Russia's President Putin the flexibility he desires, after the election. Under my administration, our friends will see more loyalty, and Mr. Putin will see a little less flexibility and more backbone."
7. Another ignorant big mouth hot air politician.
WikiMiki   (08.31.12)
8. On the fence about voting.
Henry from New York ,   Currently under the Tuscan Clouds   (08.31.12)
On the one hand, Romney might keep his promises to support Israel (don't trust US politicians at all anymore). On the other hand there is the constitutional ban on gay marriage he wants. If not for that threat to the happiness of my fellow citizens who are LGBT, then he'd have my vote for sure. No way am I voting for Obama again.
9. If you think that Isreal is doing well under Obama
Al   (08.31.12)
why doesnt Israel clear the deck with Gaza? I'll tell you why because Obama has Israels balls in his desk. Should Obama be re-elected Isreal will be diced sliced and dumped. YOu better hope and pray Obama doesntt get re-elected. Yes he is that dangerous to Israel.
10. how?
postroad ,   USA   (08.31.12)
bla blah blah...but he never says how he will do anything...tax breaks for the wealthy? been there and done that.
11. #9 "Israel doing well under Obama?"
Robert ,   Australia   (08.31.12)
....Why should it? The last time I looked he was president of the USA. He's had enough inherited problems with which to deal from the previous US administration. Heaven forbid another republican gets his hand in the till.
12. Romney - Another useful idiot for Israel
Ken   (08.31.12)
Even if Romney was elected most posters here would find some fault with him for 'not supporting Israel enough'
13. REelect BHO
Ethan Schwartz ,   Eilat   (08.31.12)
Israel has never had the levels of unquestioning support it has had under the Obama administration. He dared to make some new diplomatic overtures rather then just repeating what others have done and failed with. It's Israel that as changed it's tune in it's willingness to negotiate with terrorists.
14. Dempsey ! You will be FIRED in November
(08.31.12)
15. Israel should stop.....
Ram ,   London   (08.31.12)
worrying about who the US public will elect as President. More important: Israel should RELYING on others to safeguard its interests! What it should focus on is showing some backbone and standing up for itself vociferously. Yes it is good to have allies, but Israel must never totally rely on them.
16. A bus???? No he tied Israel to a railway line (second term)
Alan ,   SA   (08.31.12)
17. Egypt
edward   (08.31.12)
Well what the hell did Carter wever do for Israel? Oh yeah secured peace with Egypt!!! Get over yourselves, you are not the only nation in world! Other people have rights an interests too, stop being so spoilt and petulant
18. Robert's comments
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (08.31.12)
Robert, you live in Australia that has many economical problems and corruption in the politicians. The fact you have time to teach USA people what to do instead of cleaning your house and recommending another administration like this one in the USA, you are really a IQ 20
19. Romney invests in Iran
Jeremiah ,   Miami, USA   (08.31.12)
Obama has been a strong supporter of Israel and a great friend to Israel. Those who try to diminish the man on false rhetoric are doing our nation a great injustice. Why did Romney invest in Iran?
20. #18 Australia's "economical" problems
Robert ,   Australia   (08.31.12)
Would you care to point them out? I think you'll find it difficult. Your hypocritical comments as to me pointing out the issues with which Obama was forced to deal are laughable when one views the comments from Israeli posters trying to teach the rest of the world how to run their affairs.
21. no 17 .. Edward
Paul ,   Israel/UK   (08.31.12)
other nations don't have the problem of facing a daily threat of annihilation and with a nuclear iran an actual possible holocaust 2. are you that ignorant and stupid to see that. and to all the other 'clever' talk-backers who tell israel to stand up for themselves ... we would, if US and EU would mind their own businesses and quit to tell us to stand down. if not for them, the nuclear sites in Iran would be levelled already ... world politics are a bit more complex than you morons are able to grasp . aren't you embarrassed writing such idiocy on a public forum?
22. Every word Romney said is absolutely true.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.31.12)
If one is honest; one can't find a single world that Romney said about Obama, that is not absolutely true. Americans made a terrible mistake in 2008; though many of them did so with the best of intentions. It's time to rectify the mistake. It's time to end the Obama nightmare in November.
23. ONE GREAT MAN
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (08.31.12)
Integrity, honesty, loyalty and a 'stellar businessman' who also just happens to love, admire and respect and has pledged his loyalty to Israel. Who could ask for more? Love this guy!! obama's an abject failure at everything. At least he's consistent ( failing on all fronts )
24. Why won't Obama do what we tell him?
ZionistBill ,   Israel   (08.31.12)
Haven't we given our American cousins money to pass onto AIPAC? Haven't we played the guilt card accurately? Who does Obama think he is? He should be taking the hard-line, militant, closed-minded position on issues that we Israelis are famous for.
25. Obamad said "I AM ONE", An islamist
zobcity ,   USA/Israel   (08.31.12)
Remember? And we ALL know what thjis means for evetone, dont we?? 200 plus Pro-islamic inculcating acts in 4 yrs on American soil Alone!
26. Will we even get to the elections?
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (08.31.12)
If a war is initiated with Iran, it'll probably negatively affect the US to the point where Obama will be able to fulfill his ultimate wet dream and declare martial law and drag that once proud nation into the darkest of Marxist/Socialist dictatorships.
27. Say goodbye to obama ( Whew!)
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (08.31.12)
and make way for a champion and winner, Mitt Romney!! America can't afford another four years with obama as pres he's as bad or worse than carter. America is inpatient with failure, there is no time for more socialistic far left 'economic experiments'. under obama's 'leadership'. ( on the golf course, maybe ) America's and American's are worse off now than in the great depression. Romney will make an excellent, much needed refreshing HONEST President. I thank G-d I became a independent due to obama and his 'minister' who damns America in the name of G-d.....
28. # 5 Edan, Haifa
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (08.31.12)
Please add to that, AMERICAN'S really hate them both as well. That's why ( hopefully, ) they both will be one term presidents..
29. #6 Mark, LOL your not his 'interpreter'
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (08.31.12)
Where exactly did Romney promise to invade Iran or a confrontation with Russia? I must have missed that part... Perhaps you mistook strength with threats?? I believe that's Iran, Syria, and the 'arab spring' thats in the news presently.
30. America's drowning under obama and his socialist
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (08.31.12)
experiments that are guaranteeing no American will have a job unless it's for minimum wage, and even those are fewer in numbers now than ever before. While obama flittered away nearly 3 years on a discredited 'obama health care bill' the funding of which he raided from Medicare, he gave no thought to JOBS, American JOBS. Now, it's the "We The People's" time to formally remove the worst President ever to impose his will on the America, Israeli, Polish, etc.( all allies actually ) with his dangerous naivete' and the selling of America to the oil producers of every anti American, anti Israel, anti semitic American M.E. arab consortium going. And folks, that was the short version of a long list of true anger directed at obama who is a puffed up ass.
