Netanyhu's recent visit and speeches, showed that he was much more popular in the US than Obama. In his speeches before the joint session of congress he got more applause than Obama got in 4 state of the union speeches combined. Netanyah is more experienced, better educated and better versed than the guy from Hawaii...

facts straight before making erroneous comments in an op-ed, but so be it. The fact of the matter is that American Jews voted in numbers that are quite consistent with historical trends.Both Clinton and Gore received numbers in the high-70 percentile range, as did Obama, although Obama's were higher, not lower as the article contends. And he completely ignores the fact that Bibi actively went after the support of Romney in a way that was quite embarrassing to us Democrats and Jews alike.

Ophir Falki is xcorrect. I cannot agree with him more

Obama went down from about 79% in 2008 to about 69% of Jewish vote in 2012 Therefore the writter is accurate and Rachel is wrong. Rachel's may have been insulted for Obama, but about 80% of Israelis were disappointed in the 69% of Jewish Americans (including Rachel) that voted for the guy who refused to say Jerualem was Israel's capital.

"1996 Clinton wanted Peres and his new Middle East and he tried hard to help him and right up to the final days all the polls showed Peres heading for a comfortable victory then a Tel Aviv bus was blown " The fact is that Netanyahu was WAY ahead in 1996, in fact he was ahead of Rabin before he was killed. Peres was never close to ever winning any election by the people.

tic to Philipines Exactly FOUR years after his first Inauguration Ceremony ,the whole Bulge of Africa from Morocco to Kenya is on fire .Look at Iran, Syria and the lucky Arab Spring Countries. Look at unstable Iraq, Afghanistan All this crap on the last FOUR YEAR watch of Obama.... Its HORRIFIC!! And for an encore he wants to make Israel disappear by using others as proxies!

Bennet's outrageous remarks yesterday against Netanyahu will also backfire

Bravo, Sarah. that is only a small part of the US betrayals of Israel since its creation. the only reason the US ever moved favorably toward Israel (or Jews for that matter) was when US politicians needed, had to, in order to win the political support of the Jewish voter. Now such votes include the evangelicals as well. Nevertheless, the readers ought to get acquainted with the past policies toward Israel of Eisenhower-Dulles, Kennedy and Johnson (he sent the Liberty), Nixon- bleed them Kissinger, Carter-Brezinsky, Bush-Baker, Clinton-Allbright, Bush, and now Hussein - Hillary - Kerry The sum of all the US actions toward Israel and Jews over the past 70 years may be summed up as betrayal upon betrayal ....

Hear,hear! :-)

Thank you. I've long known about United States perfidy with respect to Israel, much as I hate to acknowledge and admit it. The only reason that the United States supported the creation of the modern State of Israel is because of the horrors that were revealed in the aftermath of the discovery of the concentration and death camps, and the truth of what happened to the Jewish people. Basically -- the world threw the Jews a bone, confident that the Arab armies would trounce the nascent State of Israel. Well, it didn't happen that way, did it. The State of Israel is here to stay. We will continue to thrive, everyone else's best efforts notwithstanding. Am Israel Chai v'kayam. The international community should pay attention. They might actually learn something. Of course, they lack Jewish intellect. Well, that's their fault and problem -- isn't it? They need to learn to respect -- and fear -- the State of Israel. We're here to stay, too -- and we have G-d on our side.

Even Truman was wishy washy when BenGurion wanted to declare Independence. Through the State Department Bengurion was threated. Read the Prime Ministers by Yehuda Avnere you find interesting things about american presidents and of course Israeli Prime Ministers. Worth reading

were quite gernerous to offer land from Israel, not a one has volunteered to guve up any of theirs You're invited to come to dinner, bring your own food, tableclorth and cleaning supplies There alrleady is a Palestinian State, it's Jordan

you wanted obamah, and you got it, you will have to pay more taxes that is very consistent with obamah's policy. his socialist agenda is working only you amerikans r not wise to know any beter. he allready changed constitutional laws.some how the dry season law aka alkohol free era changed, now its with guns.

Yeah, so sending the USS LIBERTY to crush Israel in 1967 was what, an accident? News flash: The United States of America thought that Israel would be destroyed in 1948. Well, we weren't. Gosh darn. The only reason that the West supported the creation of the State of Israel is because they did not believe for a single second that the nascent State of Israel could survive an Arab onslaught It had nothing to do with guilt over the Holocaust -- bascially, there was no guilt in the West to speak of. But survive we did. And we have thrived. The West has to deal with us now, and we are going nowhere. Boo hoo. Don't you just hate it when a plan doesn't come together?

A man who can function without a brain. You have never ever written even one sensible or logical sentence.

Wow!!! and that is why the the man who was indorsed by Netinyaho lost to Obama?

Sarah appeaers to live in a different world. Who susidizes your economy, supply your weapon and stands alone protecting you against the world at a great financial and prestigious cost? At least you should be little humble and more grateful. If it was not for the US, sanctions would have been imposed long ago.

Obama was just stating the obvious and if it helps Netinyaho wen it will work fine for the Obama and the Palestinians. It will make easier to withhold the veto power and the passing sanctions.

DOES THE CRIMINAL IRANIAN REGIME, DOES THE ARAB/ISLAMIC WORLD/ISLAM WANTS PEACE WITH ISRAEL? NOT ONLY SANCTIONS TO THE CRIMINAL IRANIAN REGIME, BUT ALSO SANCTIONS TO THE WARMONGERING/HATEMONGERING ARAB/ISLAMIC DICTATORSHIPS WHO CONSTANTLY VIOLATE HUMAN RIGHTS AND WHO ARE ALSO BE A THREAT TO THEIR OWN PEOPLES AND TO ISRAEL. I HOPE THAT THE STATE OF ISRAEL CAN BECOME AS STRONG AND AS AUTARKIC AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT BEING DEPENDANT ON OTHER COUNTRIES/ORGANIZATIONS OUTSIDE ISRAEL, WITH REAL INDEPENDANCE, SOVEREIGHNITY, SELF-DETERMINATION FOR ISRAEL.

With G-Ds help.

You are the one living in a different universe. The United States is no friend of Israel, and never has been. Humble and grateful? How many Americans did not come home in body bags from Iraq thanks to Israel? Try a little humility and gratitude yourself.

Bless you, Chris, and those you hold close.

where the likes of you had once put us, perhaps you should get your head out of your camel's ass first. Now.

if you agree - go and vote, power to the people!!!!!!!!!!

I'd gladly trade obama for Bibi in a New York minute.

'Pride goeth before destruction' Come back in 4 years and see whether or not obama survived the possibility of a governmental shut down thereby imposing sequestration, all due to his 'my way or the highway' stubbornness and refusing to act like a savvy politician and use the art of negotiation rather than to ruin America's standing in financial matters, jobs and the entire economy. The only 'mark' obama will make is to piss in the wind.
