31. The anarchist will get impeached and
Mark my words ,   Hubris   (01.16.13)
then he will whimper as his sort are known to do.
32. A gold medal for mindless, delusional leftist pap.
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.16.13)
How mindless does a person have to be to believe Obama loves Israel and knows what is best for Israel? Obama doesn't even know what is best for America. That is why America, under Obama, is falling apart. Obama is destroying America's economy and attacking Americans' freedom. Azoulay's articles are normally idiotic but this one rates a gold medal for mindless, delusional, pathetic leftist pap.
33. # 28 @ Sarah B.
Birdi ,   Israel is ours.   (01.16.13)
Sarah, dont forget that there is oil to be found under all that gas!! plus drilling for oil has just begun off the coast of Herzliya. Kudos to you for all your fine posts on this thread & your continued love & support for us. I hope all is well with you & yours.
34. #1
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.16.13)
What a weakling you are.
35. Obama's faulty premise
Sam ,   Texas   (01.16.13)
is the same one the UN, Ban, the EU and everyone has bought into. That is that no Jews can live in the territories. Why not? Obama supports apartheid Judenrein....
36. Reality bites
Avramele   (01.16.13)
1. Obama won, Romney lost 2. The Republican Party in Congress is imploding and the tea party fundamentalist wing is alienating Americans who are not white, male, southern and fundamentalist Christian 3. Obama will be President for a full 4 more years and his successor will likely also be a Democrat given demographic and electoral trends 4. Americans pay little attention to Israel and foreign policy for that matter. Foreign policy elites with the exception of a dwindling number of discredited neo-cons have disdain for Bibi and overt contempt for the Israeli right 5. American Jews in the majority live in a different moral, political and religious universe than Netanyahu and Bennett. Draw your own conclusions readers.
37. Please everybody.Go look at map of Mali
Alan ,   SA   (01.16.13)
It is surounded on all sids by MANY MANY African States... The AQ gangs arnt going quietly.They have got the Libyan Weapons and many even have had US Army "Consultants" train them. So now we have another Afghanistan...Now in Africa This story wont be ended next week by French Paras. So another Obama Fine Mess.

39. Obama is leading the US towards the end of being Superpower
Jouko ,   Finland   (01.16.13)
40. # 29
Birdi ,   Israel is ours.   (01.16.13)
If you think we Israelis are mindless donkeys who can be pushed to concede our long fight for this land of ours,by your useless wimp of a president & by the EU cronies,you are mistaken. We Jews/Israelis had to learn to be tough & arrogant & you need to know that no one & nothing will push us to the brink or lead us to the gas chambers ever again. We firmly believe in the survival of the fittest. Being an American, you have no hope in hell to understand this.
41. Obama is right!
Sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (01.16.13)
The world is getting fed up with Israeli (BIBI) intransigence. The US has supported Israel through thick and thin against almost the entire world. Israel is making the US look like an idiot through our blind support. America is getting fed up. We love the State of Israel, however there has to be some type of effort or flexibility in dealing with the Palestinians.
42. Jnr Sen. from Illinois squeeked?
David N. ,   Haifa, ISRAEL   (01.16.13)
In the physics of politics, American presidents occupy a lot of space, but they don't weigh much. Which is a bit of a contradiction, as they give the impression of being quite dense. I have NEVER heard an American president even come close to stating accurately the essentials of Israel's existence and the battle to delegitimize her. It is a game for Obama, and when he goes off to retirement he won't give a hoot about Israel. Really tiresome, all this fussing over what presidents say.
43. US can force peace upon the region. Nothing else has worked.
Michael ,   California, USA   (01.16.13)
Obama's administration is forging forward with withdrawal from Afghanistan and with containing Iran. Obama himself is a strong president, a wise president, a resolute president. He is delivering to America the economic improvements he promised. On the other hand, Israel will again re-elect its weak and mindless leadership which has brought the country to the brink of complete isolation in the world. This is a very opportune moment for the US to come out with a strong plan for peace in the Middle East. Joining with the European plan slated for March-time release will be a good strategy. Finally imposing a successful secure peace on the region will be the pragmatic step which will be taken by the Great Powers. It will be a temporary solution, of course, for the next 30 years until new leaders will emerge on both sides and settle all the past conflicts between them directly, without the need for an intervention from the outside. Obama and European leaders together have the opportunity now to write their own history with resolving the most protracted lasting conflict in the world. Let's see it in time for the happiest Pesah and Easter in modern history.
44. Jews for Obama
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.16.13)
Obama is indeed correct in what he says and I would go further and state that unless Bibi is removed, its going to be a slippery slope for all of us.
45. Inpeachment?
Adam ,   London   (01.16.13)
You should be tried for treason more like. Your post is a bit far-fetched.
46. Quite frankly I see
Moragh   (01.16.13)
Obama as America's walking-talking clown. Has Obama ever had any real-professional-schooling. I THINK NOT???????
47. #33 Birdie My Setiments Exactly!!!

Baruch Ha Shem
48. # 38
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.16.13)
Thanks, nice to know that we have the support of the French Jews. # 36 needs to realize that we are not afraid of what Obama can or cannot do to Israel. Threatening us will not help one iota.
49. On target except for impeachment comment
Shua Cohen ,   New York, USA   (01.16.13)
Sarah: I always enjoy your comments since they are usually well thought out and intelligent (as opposed to so much of the drivel that appears on the Web). But your last statement, to wit: "Play that card and the only thing in Obama's future is impeachment" is a bit much; I'm surprised at your resort to hyperbole. As an educated person you surely know that impeachment of the president (i.e. prosecution for "high crimes and misdemeanors") is a RARITY in American history. The power to formulate foreign policy is, as delegated by the U.S. Constitution, an executive branch perogative. The Constitution does not authorize impeachemnt simply because a president's policies are unpopular. As much as I dislike Obama, he has not (nor will he ever likely) commit an impeachable offense.
50. # 44
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.16.13)
Is not Sarah B's (U.S.A/Israel) post.
51. # 43
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.16.13)
You are wrong. Obama cannot force Israel to do anything she does'nt want to do.
52. # 34=mistake.
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.16.13)
Post # 34 is directed at # 19.
53. I do not normally defend Sarah B , But
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (01.16.13)
Impeachment is on the card for a hubris ridden deluded Obama. No less than ED Meese among others agree that is what this mouth is heading for as he tries to mess with the Constitution So Shua, I suggest you stick to what you know best
54. Mr. Obama suffers from a case of inferiority complex
JJJ   (01.16.13)
In my opinion Mr. Obama suffers from a case of inferiority complex, his behavior which says; I am the biggest man in the world, and I will teach a lesson to this little man that dares to insist on his countries interest. The second reason, in short, he needs a poppet running Israel like Livni.
55. After all that Obama has "done" for America
Jake   (01.16.13)
as its leader, he is in no position, none whatsover, to "save" Israel, or any any other country for that matter, from its own leadership. Obama's remarks are nothing more than gross interference in the democratic elections of a sovereign nation.
56. Article on Point
Scott ,   Florida   (01.16.13)
Netanyahu is shooting himself (Israel) right in the foot. Actually, he has shot himself in the foot as the damage is done. Now Israel must limp along and hope for a doctor (anyone but Likud).
57. I didn't vote for that fool.
porch_dweller ,   San Antonio, TX, USA   (01.16.13)
I don't like the thought of divine wrath on the U.S.A. because of our stupid leaders! Please pray that four years from now we'll have better!
58. Masters in screwed up business ,...
split ,   US   (01.16.13)
And pointing finger at others ;) ,...
