Not Sarah's post.

Birdi ,   Israel   (07.16.13)
Hey stupid one, What you know about Israel is zero. Wrong, delusional & down right dumb, you are. You replied to the impostor of Sarah B.
63. Politics
Rhonda ,   Chicago, USA   (07.16.13)
I think politics are politics and everybody does what suits them in specific circumstances. I always thought the US was a good friend of Israel as long as it didn't interfere with the American agenda but since Obama got in the White House- well I don't trust him very much mainly because he's always expecting Israel to do stuff but never making demands on the PA. As far as this article, mostly I am concerned how it will be interpreted by the average Joe on the street. I try my best to explain and educate the Americans about the situation in the Mid East, that things aren't always what they seem, etc. As for trusting China, as for trusting any country- what is true today may not hold water tomorrow. Israel always has to be on her toes.
64. This too shall blow over
Arnold ,   Montreal   (07.16.13)
War on terror is being fought daily by Israel. Obama needs to be slapped across the mouth by friends sometimes. Let us say this was one of those times.

Birdi ,   Israel   (07.16.13)
Oh dear, you too are replying to the impostor! You should know by now, who is the real Sarah B. & who is not. Gotcha!

Birdi ,   Israel is ours.   (07.16.13)
Dror, you have my respect, as well. There is much more to this story than we know.

Birdi ,   Israel   (07.16.13)
Had it crossed your mind that maybe Obama & his merry men of back-stabbers are looking for a way, any way, to get out of re-paying China the billions it owes (China) There is more to this than meets the eye.
68. You are wrong
guest   (07.16.13)
The Indian and Chinese state have no particular sympathies for the Israeli cause. They have always supported your enemies, just because they don't hate you doesn't make them friends. What has Israel done for US exactly?
69. Obama's latest act of revenge against Israel
CJK   (07.16.13)
if israel does not do obama's bidding, then the us will subpoena ambassador oren, yaacov amidror, israel's national security advisor, and ambassador designate dermer. with such vicious strong arm tactics, obama and his crew should not be surprised if israel seeks other allies. although the us still has allies, obama himself is mistrusted and disliked world wide.
70. 67 Birdie
CJK   (07.16.13)
there is no way that the us can get out of repaying the trillions of dollars owed to china. the suit against the bank of china is part of anti-terror operation and is meant to embarrass china. china is at fault, but the administration is trying to dictate once again Israel's foreign policy and national security policy.

CJK   (07.16.13)
since obama has absolutely no leverage over china, he once again is trying to bully israel. netanyahu is not empowering hamas, unlike obama empowered the muslim brotherhood. the administration is furious because it does not want israel to get closer to china.
72. There must be more to this story...
Josh ,   USA   (07.16.13)
....that is being kept hidden? Then again, maybe the leaking by US officials of Israel's attack on Syrian missiles a few days ago was revenge against Israel for this? If this story is all true - and I emphasize IF - then Netanyahu should have told China sorry, no preconditions for my visit.
73. Israel should seek other allies since the White House is ...
Father Abe   (07.16.13)
occupied by a muslim terrorist
74. That's Bibi For You
World Citizen ,   the world   (07.17.13)
He's a real ambassador for Israel. But ask yourself one question. Is Israel's standing in the world of civilised countries higher or lower?
75. 15 US No More
lightharry ,   USA   (07.17.13)
Israel is a free country and should break all ties to the US. They have more in common with China and India. We do not want to be a burden to little Israel.
76. 68 Obama
lightharry ,   USA   (07.17.13)
Israel should look for other allies! Obama´s poll ratings have fallen to 93 percent in Europe.
77. This is what should happen now...
Yossi ,   London,UK   (07.18.13)
The Israeli PM should APOLOGISE to the US and to make sure the officials who are required to testify will do so. Why did Netanyahu SOLD Israel's greatest ally and the Victim's families for a lousy visit that's beyond me !!! Dear PM,do what you're good at,break your promise to China,the visit has happened already and RETAIN our most important ally the US. America,I APOLOGISE on behalf of my country !!!
78. To # 71 Tzipora and all the Obama haters
Stan ,   Israel   (07.24.13)
I don't understand. This is a case brought by an American Jewish family whose son was murdered by Hamas. Normally, your blind hatred of Palestinians rules above all else, but it seems that you your hatred of Obama (that Muslim communist as some have called him) is supreme.
79. #15 Sarah B and all the other Obama haters
Stan ,   Israel   (07.24.13)
You are all a bunch of idiots! No country on earth receives as much financial, military and political support as Israel does from the USA. In this, nothing has changed since Obama became president. Do you honestly believe that all the Zionist Jews who serve in his administration are doing it just for the money? Read up about what Michael Oren and other senior Israeli officials have to say about Israel - USA relations. Finally Sarah, if you think that possible support from China and India will be based on anything but EXPEDIENCY, may I remind you that Israels arse licking of new African States in the early sixties, failed miserably as soon as the Six Day War ended.
