Michael ,   California, USA   (01.16.13)
I will not feed the mouth of an enemy, but you are wise enough to come up with your own list. Every child in Israel can do it.
62. Avramele, 17, you keep repeating the same tripe
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (01.16.13)
people dislike obama for his policies and his insufferable arroganc. his race has nothing to do with it. there were other presidents and politicians who were and still are disliked, none of them black.
63. delusional article
david ,   new york   (01.16.13)
as if obama's attitude towards israel has to do with netanyahu. i got news for you: he likes arabs and hates israel. he doesn't much like america either. he grew up in indonesia going to mosque and as an adult spent time in pakistan. he is not particularly bothered by iran having an atom bomb, because america is the source of the world's problems, not moslems. he is dangerous to israel, but most of all, he is dangerous to america
64. to #40 Birdi

You might be surprised to learn Americans do not for one second, misunderstand the peril Israel faces. It can also be said most Americans (not just the Jewish sector) are starting to fully understand the Arab/Islamic mindset and that could mean an endless struggle is likely. Where we apparently disagree is on how Israel is best protected; as a dearly beloved ally, or as a mean spirited partner whose policies run cross grain with the ideals of democracy and freedom we two always shared. It is your toughness that makes you great, nobody denigrates that. It is in policy and diplomacy where the divisions occur. My posts are meant to bring ideas to the israeli's that may not seem so obvious on the ground. So - no, we don't think you are mindless donkeys, but we are not sure you are headed towards the most attractive end game. Love, Peace through strength and diplomacy.
65. only a fool could believe o cares about Israel
rick ,   walnut creek   (01.16.13)
only a fool could beleive that obama cares about Israel or knows anything about it. obama is sublimely ignorant and aggressively arrogant.
66. obama is a petulant infant
rick ,   walnut creek   (01.16.13)
even if, against the facts, one were to assume that obama had grounds for personal offense at something the PM said or did, only a petulant infant would allow any personal hurt or sensitivity to determine or influence national policy. got it? only a petulant infant. obama seems to fit right in.
67. "Israel will face presidential indifference"
Newcastle upon Tyne ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (01.16.13)
So,what's the problem? To me,that looks like a thawing in Obama's previous hostility. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
68. #19, Hear, O Michael
Jake   (01.16.13)
A sane vote on Tuesday will once again expose you and your fellow ilk as a tiny increasingly shunned, embattled, extreme lefitst minority who are forced to turn to foreign support, among those who have fondness for Israel, to prop up your exremely precarious and unjustifable position. Maybe the day after election day you can find some foreign embassy in which to cry your heart out.
69. Avramele #36, "Obama won, Romney lost"
Jake   (01.16.13)
Indeed, but due to the downward trajectory that America has been following under Obama, America's ability to pressure Israel and influence Israeli policy is on the wane. Remember, Obama is not running in the Israeli elections, and external interference in Israel's elections and domestic affairs will not be looked upon kindly by the Israeli voters.
70. AH.... ORLY!!
Israeli 2   (01.17.13)
Did you hear the story about the Shmuck and the Shmugeigit??
71. #64 little stevie t.
DavidR ,   USA   (01.18.13)
I am an American. You don't speak for me so stop with this "most Americans" garbage you spew. You and the rest of your liberal leftist obama butt kissers can talk all the trash you want. Israel does not care what you think or say. The end game we are going toward will be the most powerful nation on earth. Then you and those of your leftist ilk will come on your knees to bow to the King of the Universe from His Throne in Yerushalayim, Eretz Israel!
72. #23 harold
DavidR ,   USA   (01.18.13)
You remind me of a small pup barking in the face of a Lion. The only reason you haven't been eaten alive is that the Lion is not that hungry! Beware the Lion of Yhudah! BTW, no one cares about obamas green lights. Let's see what happens in the next 5 years.
73. #17avramele
DavidR ,   USA   (01.18.13)
God thing obama hasn't visited Israel! I agree! The Holy Land doesn't deserve the stench he would leave behind.
74. # 64 second attempt.
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.18.13)
What you need to understand is what Abbas & his followers want. What Hamas wants. Jerusalem will not be divided, not now, not ever. Returning to the 67 borders will not happen. Israel will not commit suicide. Israelis will never roll over & die for the sake of the people you ( really ) support. So keep your advice to yourself. We dont accept it nor do we want it. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot force it to drink.
