91. #9 Deflate the war wagon's tires
BobStrebs ,   Free States, America   (09.03.12)
Hate to inform you that Israel has very few friends in this world. Start a nuclear conflict with Iran, and Israel and world Jewry will have zero friends in this world; just a planet full of enemies seeking revenge. Unless Bibi is getting direct instructions from G-d, then he and the nation had best let the air out of the war wagon's tires before ill counsel creates a very harsh reality for all of us.
92. "Older and wiser heads"??!
Mae White ,   Tel Aviv   (09.03.12)
Suicide is letting Iran continue its nuclear weapons race. No ne in Obama's administration has stood up to Iran; your leader is pussyfooting around while Iran readies its weapons on Israel. What have you been reading to come to this silly conclusion??
93. There is a Savior
Average Joe ,   USA   (09.03.12)
This is welcoming news, sick of wars.
94. 34 Robert
paul ,   Israel/UK   (09.03.12)
Israel has the best but not the biggest and the way to Iran is full of anti semitic arab countries .... If obama is the president of the US why does he constantly interfere with Israel. Let us do what we have to then no israeli would mention the US at all ... But I assume you are too far off on your little island there to understand
95. We serve our own ends, not yours
Cameron ,   USA   (09.03.12)
We are the key to the Persian issue. Always have been. You'll abide by our timing and manner of approach.
96. Obama? Why?
David ,   Dallas, TX   (09.03.12)
American Jews who blindly follow the Democratic party should consider the consequences.
97. #95 Cameron, doesn't look like it, buddy
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (09.03.12)
You sound a little flustered, dude.
98. US Actually Makes A Good Foreign Policy Decision???
Tony ,   USA   (09.03.12)
The US takes a step toward minding its own business? Pinch me!
99. iran
john langager ,   spring hill usa   (09.03.12)
Consider the possibility that this was never really about Israel, but that Iran fully intends to bring about the shutdown of AmerIca's transportatIon and refrIgeratIon systems, both of which rely heavily on computer technology. They could do this by setting off an electro magnetic pulse by exploding a nuclear device high above North America. Without Israel's strongest allies, Israel would then be far more vulnerable
100. #34 Robert
DavidR ,   USA   (09.03.12)
ONCE AGAIN! The answer to your question is, Israel DOES NOT need the US. They have not ask for US help, they have only ask to be left alone. They have only wanted to be a good ally, unlike the US. Israel is more than capable of taking care of the problem but they have been unwilling to harm the interests of America, their ally.
101. Us Abandons Israel
Garbageman ,   Utica, USA   (09.03.12)
I haven't and I didn't fall for Obama the last time and will do my best to see that he is defeated in November. The only secure ally in the Middle East and Obama tosses them under the bus. The man is incompetent.
102. Countries dont have friends, only INTERESTS.
Efraim ,   Virginia   (09.03.12)
Somebody in USA said this a long time ago. The Pharaoh Obama doesnt carte about jews. The "liberal jews" had better wake up and vote right this time.
103. Jews vote 4 OBAMA
Dennis Brown ,   NJ   (09.03.12)
And 65% of American jews will vote for OBAMA anyway
104. What a COWARD!
Kaenc ,   NC, USA   (09.03.12)
Yes, the Coward - aka known as POTUS. November 6th can't arrive fast enough! This American supports Israel and always will.
105. Eerily familiar
orangemonkeybat ,   San Antonio, TX   (09.03.12)
Anyone ever read William Shirer's accounts of how the Nazi's systematically took over Germany? Anyone see the creepy similarities with this regime in power in the US? This, to me, is the last straw. To snub Israel is about as bad as you get, but then to tell her enemies that we won't stand with her in time of trouble, is beyond what I hope most Americans can stomach. I am not jewish, I have no monetary ties to Israel, but she is our one true friend in the world. I would trust Israel, well I wouldn't trust her to not spy on us :), but I would depend on Israel to be there before any other "friend" we have in the world. We have a duty to defend our friend Israel, and I think this should be an impeachable offense. I hope people in the US catch the seriousness and gravity of this situation. AND I hope the jews in this country finally wake up and realize who their friends are. The Democrats have a long anti-semitic history. Hell Carter helped coach Arafat on how to negotiate against Israel more effectively. It's time to rid ourselves of these anti-Americans we call Democrats. They have just gone way to far off of the reservation.
106. US negotiates with Iran?
Ned Reid ,   Orlando, FL USA   (09.03.12)
Others in the WH say Israel is trying to drag the US into an unnecessary conflict in the Gulf? I wonder if one of the "others" might be Valerie Jarrett? And Jay Carney wonders why people question this president's "commitment" to the American/Israeli relationship?
107. foreign
kathy ,   thomasville, usa   (09.03.12)
nobama is really showing people he is a traitor at heart........ oh, he has no heart. Jews need to wake up and vote for Romney to stop the dictator want to be !
108. I hope this is a wake up call for American Jews
Trisha Doherty ,   Alpharetta, GA   (09.03.12)
But until I see it, I don't believe it. They will line up to vote for this kenyan idiot again just like last time. Makes you wonder...
109. #35 UK Lawyer
DavidR ,   USA   (09.03.12)
You are certainly correct in most of what you say. The only point you seem to miss is that Obama is of the same mind set as the Iranian leadership. He is muslim through and through and he will not abandon his brothers for Israel, the US, or anyone else.
110. US has NOT abandoned Israel
Victoria ,   New York   (09.03.12)
....rather it is Obama and the Democrays who have with much joy done so....and yet Jewish voters in the US will overwhelming vote for this traitor. So actually it is Obama, Democrats and American Jews who betray Israel
111. Decline of Amerika is showing more and more..
Jimmy Shmendriks. ,   jimmyz@yahoo.com   (09.03.12)
USA is in deeper cr... than we think.
112. Obama is on his way out!
Maurice ,   Montreal   (09.03.12)
Mark my words.
113. 95. Yes. The mullahs will dominate you at this rate.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (09.03.12)
They want the Great Satan, to submit to them - which will carry them just where they want to go - and Obama is da man for the job. He understands that Islamic principle very well. So, your timing is never and your manner of approach is submission, appeasement, procrastination and avoidance.
114. Obama hates Israel
JoeKidd ,   San Diego, CA, USA   (09.03.12)
When Obama said he had “Israel’s back” this is what he meant: Obama would STAB Israel in the back then TURN THE KNIFE.
115. OBAMA BACKS IRAN
S. Borden ,   Los Angeles, CA, U.S   (09.03.12)
People of Israel, most citizens of the U.S. have undying support for you. Obama works for a government, but we have not been able to find out which one yet. Hold on until his regime in U.S. is thrown out!
116. Abandoning Israel
Max Wilson ,   Houston,Tx.   (09.03.12)
117. With friends like Obama ....
Anthony Johnson ,   San Jose, Costa Rica   (09.03.12)
Obama and the Democrats are buying more time for Iran. Obama has betrayed Israel and for that, terrible judgment will come. But guess who has not abandoned you ? The Almighty God of Israel !!! HE is the one who protects his beloved people, so fear not Israel because you are under the protection of the creator and ruler of the universe. Shalom Israel and peace to Jerusalemn !!! Yeshua will return very soon :-)
118. just like FDR
Nancy ,   Syracuse, USA   (09.03.12)
Obama has a good roll model. FDR did less than nothing to prevent/thwart the Holocaust, standing by while millions of Jews died in Death Camps.
119. Obama/Israel
Justme ,   Windsor, VA   (09.03.12)
It's as if the US has been taken over by an enemy force. November can't come soon enough.
120.  'Iran must steer clear of US interests in Gulf'
USBorderpatrol ,   Idaho, USA   (09.03.12)
This coward of a president lies and breaks all promises to Israel. We need to sand with our allies and against our enemies.
