61. An existential danger to Israel
Taxpayer ,   Hod Hasharon   (01.17.13)
How perverse that our fearless leader, who backs down to everyone, who is not honest enough to tell us how big the deficit cuased by his irresponsible behavior is orwho does not even know it, is himself the biggest danger faced by Israel. I know that he and his mindless minions will explain to us that it is not Israel that is isolated but the rest of the world, but when the President of the United States says this, the head of the mossad says this, and every sensible commentator saysthis - the disaster on two legs should take note.
62. Ian 4, if Obama could run America, he would shut his mouth
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (01.17.13)
the only thing obama knows how to do is sign executive orders and thus grab more power.

65. To No 50

If nothing else makes you realize the hand of the Almighty in helping the jews, the simple fact of numerous geniuses pouring out of Israel and the jews in diaspora, should. Time and space will not permit me to start enumerating them. In fact, even the help the West is giving Israel derives from the fact that they benefit from those geniuses. Moreover, It's laughable to suggest that Israel is a leech parasitizing on the US and the EU. Do you know that most, if not all, of the really great modern technologies the west is boasting of has a jewish brain behind it? This suggests that Israel has abundant self-sufficient technological capability. So stop deluding yourself for Yahweh, the Greatest One, will never leave the jews alone without His help in their time of need .
66. "cause of compromise" what compromises has Obama done
David ,   Israel   (01.17.13)
With Islamists ? Why are we expected ?
67. I'm an Israeli and I say abandon the settlers!
Dan   (01.17.13)
Dear Bibi, I'm so glad that Israelis will be allowed to determine their own future. By Israeli I assume you mean citizens in good standing, that is, they pay taxes and do their army service. So the Haredim are out, obviously – about time! I'm an Israeli, and here's what I want : abandon the settlers and the settlements, while leaving the military occupation in place; guarantee equality for Israel's women, Arabs and legitimate refugees; teach my fellow Israelis how to be civil, and how to drive; engage in a peace process and when a credible Arab offer is received, accept it, even if only to call their bluff. Oh yes, and you and your collection of grotesques (Leiberman, Yishai, etc) must resign.
68. To No 50
kenny ,   USA   (01.17.13)
My earlier comments to Hakim (No 50) goes also to you. But I would like to add that given the staunch, unwavering, support Israel has given and continue to give the USA, it's unbecoming of a friend if the USA denies her of the singular thing that she needs from the USA and which she holds ever so dearest to her heart, namely, her survival in her ancestral homeland against the well-established genocidal intents of the hordes of enemies surrounding her, who, regardless of what Israel does or does not do, are hell bent on wiping Israel off the map, if they have the power. Anyhow, if America decides to abandon Israel, I'm quite certain Yahweh will send her help from another source. History, time and time again, bears testimony to the truth of that fact.
69. Yes, but Bibi talked about
Ted   (01.17.13)
He made so much publicity about the Bible Study (which happened only once or twice so far). It seems like it was just a publicity to win Christians' or religious votes? i hope he was sincere.
70. Unsubstantiated hearsay.
michael Pielet ,   Raanana, Israel   (01.17.13)
All unsubstantiated hearsay from say guy named Goldberg. Who is Goldberg a nobody who makes things up. If Obama wants to speak to the Prime Minister all he has to do is call directly. This whole report is unsubtantiated nonsense.
71. michael, 70, Obama has not denied the report
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (01.17.13)
obama has had three days to deny the report. furthermore, goldberg would not dare make up an obama quote.
72. the only intrests hes intrested in is his own
Haim ,   TA   (01.17.13)
73. Chicago community organiser knows best whats good for Israel
Alan ,   SA   (01.17.13)
74. Mr Martiez.Great post. Also honour to your late Dad!
Alan ,   SA   (01.17.13)
75. To: No. 33
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.17.13)
See? I always knew that the American people are mindless idiots who will follow their Moslem president into disaster. Never forget what we did to the United States in 1967, when you tried to help Jordan and Syria by sending a signals interceptor vessel off the coast of Israel, in order to intercept Israeli military communications and relay them to the Jordanian and Syrian high military commands. Israel blew the USS LIBERTY out of the water. Don't think we cannot -- or will not -- do that again. Besides -- don't ever forget Somalia, when a handful of barefoot warlords using antiquated weapons sent the entire United States military forces packing. Israel is not Somalia. If Somalia could make you turn and run, just imagine what Israel can do. Shut your mouth. You're an idiot.
76. To: No. 50
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.17.13)
Okay, so Obama is a two-term president. Here in the United States, we call him a lame duck. There is nothing he can do against Israel. Congress pulls the strings, by the way. Israel will build; Israel will continue to withhold revenues to the ersatz "Palestine" Authority until the electrical bills are paid. Count your blessings that you aren't sitting in the dark. Israel can simply cut you off. And who will come to your rescue? Aren't you still running around begging and pleading with nations who paid you lip service on November 29, 2012 to also pay you cash? So far, that hasn't happened, has it? I don't see the United States stepping up, either -- oh, wait! They can't! Congress controls the purse strings, and Congress is staunchly pro-Israel. Wait until Israel revokes all work permits issued to West Bank Arabs. What are you going to do then? Well, I suppose you could always march on Ramallah and insist that Abbas and Fayyad well their private Gulfstream jets, lavish European homes and liquidate their very hefty offshore bank accounts. Good luck with that one. You people cannot organize a telephone call, and you think you can actually run a country? Yeah, right. Well, pretty soon now, you'll have the opportunity to run a country from Amman. But you are destined to fail. Not every people can have a country, you know, and I'd put the ersatz "Palestinians" at the bottom of the list. Enjoy the ride.
77. while at the same time accepting $ 3 Billion in US Aid
Haim ,   TA   (01.17.13)
Talk about biting the hand that feeds you, ungreatful little sod.
78. Obama & Olmert
Dave Blevins ,   Deer Park, USA   (01.17.13)
I am speaking for all my family, and friends in the US. Obama simply needs to be impeached. I am very glad to see Olmert removed from the Israeli government as well. I will support Israel in it's endeavors toward repentance. Remember that most of the people in the USA are NOT represented by Obama !
79. BIBI: THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO TO HELP ISRAEL IS RESIGN
Rafi ,   fernbnk@att.net   (01.17.13)
80. #62CJK.Obama signs executive orders.
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (01.17.13)
Yes,rather like President Morsi. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
81. To: Sarah B,
Hakim ,   Palestine   (01.17.13)
Hagel will take care of everything....
82. #81. Palestine is forever fictional.
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.17.13)
#81 Hakim. You don't get it. We will soon have more than a million Jews in Judea and Samaria. Within 20 years, we will have well over two million. It's never happening, Hakim. Palestine is forever fictional. Sooner or later, you're going to have to learn to live with the truth.
83. #67. You're a typical Meretz Israeli. Not a typical Israeli.
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.17.13)
#67 Dan. It is obvious, from your post, that you are a typical delusional Meretz Israeli. Not a typical Israeli. In case you've missed the last several elections; Meretz isn't calling the shots.
84. #33,34 ,66 Israel doesn't take orders from other countries.
Mohammad Al Dura   (01.18.13)
@#33,#34.#66. Israel is not Serbia and is more powerful militarily than Germany the UK and France combined. These countries would never invade Israel unless they want to commit suicide . Israel doesn’t have take any sh-t from Obama or the US. Israel doesn’t need US aid nor their inferior weaponry.
85. now if only the US.....
Jerryny ,   New york City   (01.18.13)
Imagine if the U.S. told the Israelis that we will put our interests and what's best for the United States first instead of pandering to Israeli interests. We need our own Netanyahu that tells the Israelis to stay out of our affairs.
86. #84
sealiftvet67 ,   northern calif   (01.18.13)
When you wake up from your dream of GER/UK/France invading us you might read a bit about their military assets and the Brits SAS, navy, etc. No one is giving us orders. These nations are simply aware our situation is currently insoluble and myopic. re the inferior weaponry would you return the F-16's, the German subs, refuse spare parts during a conflict? We don't live in a vacuum, isolation is not an answer.
87. # 33 Watch Bibi make mince meat of obama
bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (01.21.13)
obama's a lightweight, he can't unite the Congress Senate or, the American people who need jobs not obama's inflated ego.
88. ?? Dave Blevins??
bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (01.21.13)
"I will support Israel in it's endeavors toward repentance."??? Repentance for what? Please explain, if you will.
