31. To: No. 29
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.08.12)
So, you would rather see Israel crawl before an Islamist American president that despises Israel? Since when are heads of state of sovereign nations not on equal footing? Why should Prime Minister Netanyahu humble himself simply to feed the over-inflated, anti-Semitic ego of an idiot in the White House? An idiot who doesn't mind bowing and scraping to the king of Saudi Arabia, but who cannot find the time to pay a state visit to Israel. You better find another country in which to live. You are clearly not well-suited to Israel. Get lost.
32. Obama and the United States are a secondary power now.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (11.08.12)
Obama can't put his pants on without the help of his muslim brothers and their radical cult following. Find a new government to ally with like China or Russia. The United States is a joke being played out on the entire world, with the administration of apologists under Obama. I'm ashamed to have this dope running our country.
33. #31 BRILLIANTLY PUT ,WELL DONE
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (11.08.12)
Heads of sovereign states should be on equal footing. Netanyahu need humble himself before nobody.
34. No 26 All presidents of USA have used the veto in favor of
(11.09.12)
Israel, no special thanks to Obama.
35. Sarah B
Guy ,   Rishon Letzion   (11.09.12)
Funny, Ynet didn't post my response to your ravings Sarah B. I don't know where on earth you got the idea that Bibi should 'scrape and bow' to Obama-but apparently you don't put your money where your mouth is, since you have no problem with Netanyahu spending the last four years spitting on and humiliating the US president and his administration. As for leaving Israel-I think I'll stay. My family has been here since the first aliyah, and fought in every single war in the country's defense. I'd like to make sure to keep people like you from turning Israel into a binational state, which is where we're headed if we don't change course. It must be so easy to spout your armchair critic nonsense thousands of miles away, while the rest of us pay for it.
36. # 34 That's just the point I'm making
Stan ,   Israel   (11.09.12)
Obama is like all the American presidents in his relations with Israel, and not anti Israel as 90% of the talkbacks would like us to think
37. #29, In your dreams, Guy
Jake   (11.12.12)
You can repeat that mantra until blue in the face, but the majority of Israelis just don't agree with you. Tzippi and Olmert are done politically. Mofaz and Shelly are not exactly rising stars either.
38. #26, The facts are otherwise.
Jake   (11.12.12)
Israel is not the largest recipient of US aid. Afghanistan and Pakistan receive more. Iraq receives almost as much. Egypt is not far behind. Bibi has done nothing against Obama or the US. Pakistan was a safe haven for Bin Laden, and then convicted the doctor who helped the Americans get to Bin Laden...but I don't hear anyone complain.
