1. Oh, don't be shy
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.27.12)
Say what needs to be said. A lot of Americans are paying close attention. Let's see if the Moslem-in-Chief can pass it off as background noise. My guess is -- he cannot. Go, Bibi! Tell it like it is. School that idiot in the White House for once and for final!
2. Boycott Netanyahu's speech at UN
Gregg ,   Haifa IL   (09.27.12)
The EU an US should boycott Netanyahu and Israeli bodies at UN until Israel stops threatening Iran and give back west bank to Palestinians
3. #1 - Sarah, I agree with you in spirit....
Andy ,   Washington, DC   (09.27.12)
But it is a mistake for Israel to be perceived as pro-Republican in the US, particularly since bipartisan support for Israel is crucial. It has been maintained over decades of hard work by the Israel lobby, and must remain so to the best of our ability. Granted, the Republicans are more staunch supporters, and Obama is a disaster when it comes to closing his eyes to the looming threat of Iran and the plans and dreams of the Muslim world. But Bibi is right to do what he can to maintain cordiality in public. Jews who give a crap about the Jewish state in this country (not a majority, I am afraid) will not vote for Obama. And attacking Obama will only serve to garner Obama more support, not less, and will garner Isrel less support, not more. (I like your intelligent and forceful posts, by the way - and how you never fail to put it to the Israel haters - keep up the good blogging).
4. Netanyahu should push for nuclear-free
Tomek ,   Poland   (09.27.12)
Middle East. To prove that Israel has overcome its own schizophrenia, the Israeli leader should announce his country's nuclear disarmament. Otherwise, he should belt up.
5. #2 Gregg
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (09.27.12)
When has never been an Arab state or nation called "Palestine" in the Middle East. And you cannot give something back to the "Palestinians" which was never theirs.
6. To #2 for once I agree with you.
Sarah B , ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.27.12)
7. Iran has plenty of nukes already
Siobhan   (09.27.12)
And Pakistan has boatloads of them, just as looney Muhammedans as the Iranians. Don't buy into the elite/lamestream media bill of goods they are trying to sell us people.
8. @#4 Thanks to people like you still need to defend ourselves
Daniel ,   TA - IL   (09.27.12)
igonarance or even worse like in your case, a call to be taken like sheep to the slaughterhouse maybe worked for your grandfather, but we will defend ourselves... if you like it or nor. Thanks to Israel our dhimmie days are over... Tough luck, jews will defend ourselves and calling us schizophrenic clearly shows your intentions and asteem of the jewish people. Shame on you and your buddy ahmeddhinajahad
9. #4 Tomek
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (09.27.12)
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - George Santayana (1863 - 1952)
10. VERY Sad day
john ,   uk   (09.27.12)
fear has never worked for jews, surrender and submission never worked, and it wont start working now. Hes fearing obama, and too bad by him not contradicting obama it will secure obama wins and then jews will see the real color of obama, then what will bibi do? I really thought hes tougher than this, as jews we must stand up, never submit like fools, there is only 14 million of us left, thanks to always submitting to those we felt are on our side.
11. 9 - This is not about memory this is about a state of mind.
split ,   US   (09.27.12)
Google, "Antisemitism: Its History and Causes" and read first 13 lines of chapter one ,...
12. bibi should not take any handouts from usa first
sara   (09.27.12)
they look in the pictures a bit fat. big boys and girls should eat less so we can have no more handout from so many to start a state and till now and for how long we keep saying we are the people of the world and we still love more handouts. is it a greed or we love to have more handout
13. Dumb...
Hertzel ,   Tveria   (09.27.12)
What a bunch of mostly dumb TBs. Israel simply should announce to the world that 90% enrichment is th red line, and tell the world body that it would be to blame for war war 3, cause Iran will be attacked....period. Oh, and if the Ayatoolahs go nuts and using a non stop missile attacks on Israel, Israel will have to put a stop to that with a certain weapon they think we have.
14. Bibi' speech will not be noise it will....
carlos ,   San Diego CA   (09.27.12)
be thunder that will make all jerks shake
15. Shameless silent Muslims of their genocidal regimes.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (09.27.12)
16. Not about Iran but about the territories
Avramele   (09.27.12)
Bibi and the Israeli right have put themselves in a corner. Obama will ensure that Iran is nuclear weapons free and the second term president will move aggressively to forge a territorial compromise. The defense minister's interview in Israel Hayom gives opening parameters. Just pray that the confrontation with Iran is short and contained with a minimum of loss of life. Two existential threats to the Jewish state will be put to rest: that from Iran and that from an Arab majority in a one state scenario. Obama's revenge on Bibi to the benefit of Israel will be served cold.
17. #1 Sarrah B
Harold ,   USA   (09.27.12)
Netanyahu should say the following to attracked the world view about him: No more settlements Will leave all occupied lands Two states solution Middle East free of Nuclear weapons
18. The only language Iran understands.
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (09.27.12)
If they pass the "red line" and do not cease nuclear activity, Israel must declare a state of emergency, as a national danger in the horisont. It must include serious restrictions for the hostile arab population, including a transfer to more secure areas in the Negev and WB. A clearly humanitarian act !
19. #9
Tomek ,   Poland   (09.27.12)
The past is worth remembering, so let me remind you that we lived through the Cold War without being incinerated solely because the two superpowers were in the state of the Nash equilibrium. This needs to be achieved in ME, too.
20. Netanyahu at UN
Lawson ,   Scotland Glasgow   (09.27.12)
Greg in Haifa you want Israel to give back the West Bank to the Palestinians How would you like to have Hamas terrorists in your back yard? You want Israel to give back land taken in war with four Arab nations intent on it's destruction Are you really from this planet ?
21. @#1, yes, I agree with Sarah B. too.
Alexander B. ,   David, Panama   (09.27.12)
22. yawn....
steve holtze ,   montclair   (09.27.12)
nobody takes this fool seriously... waste of time and money.
23. #2, Go back to wherever you came from.
Jake   (09.27.12)
24. Wizard of Oz BB hides settlements with noise, smoke, curtain
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.27.12)
25. I am sure Netanyahu
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (09.27.12)
will set a redline which will ensure that he doesn't have to order anything militarily speaking. This is just yet another 'vital' speech by Netanyahu iat the UNGHR which he will use to bury the real issues facing Israel. Increasing Emigration and a tanking economy, and increasing social unrest as normal decent Israelis can no longer afford to live in Israel.
26. where can i watch this?
observer   (09.27.12)
i have been unable to find a single link to watch the speech live. I've been looking for quite awhile this morning. Is this speech being censored by the MSM? C-Span scheduled a Libyan ambassador at 5pm, but not Netanyahu?
27. netanyahues speech at un
gundar ,   jerusalem   (09.27.12)
To set a clear red line means too to have a clear plan what to do if red line is being overstepoed. Does bibi has this plan and can he deliver.?
28. nice picture
bill ,   canada   (09.27.12)
these fellows use each other for similar purposes; to get elected
29. C-span
Khaled A ,   MB Canada   (09.27.12)
the speech is at 12:30 EST on C-Span the main channel
30. 25 - FAKE SARAH B - PLEASE GO AWAY!
