1. Obama, leave the rest of the world alone
BM ,   Israel   (09.24.13)
EEven the American people don't want you as their president.
2. 1) Israel's already secure 2) By Pal state, he means Jordan?
Miracle Dog ,   Israel   (09.24.13)
3. Obama UNSC '67 borders coming in 2014, 2 States, 1 Country
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.24.13)
...de-facto Palestine Israel.
4. Occupation?
(09.24.13)
Are we (Israel) being referred to as 'occupation'? According to this article the people of Israel are against Israel and are willing to give it up to the Palestinians.
5. Obama View Of The World Is Delusional
Ross Gallen ,   Henderson, USA   (09.24.13)
Obama has adopted the illusory views of Abbas. Listening to his world view speech at the UN was sickening. He does not have the support of the American people either on his domestic or foreign policy. He is a lame duck president. In the US we are going from crisis to crisis because of his leadership failures. I hope the people in Israel do not allow his words to take the Jewish people down the drain. His premise that the West Bank is occupied territory is morally offensive and historically wrong.
6. What 'gods' does Obama worship?
Steve Klein   (09.24.13)
"Obama noted that Israel's security was dependent on the existence of a Palestinian state." Sadly, Republicans (my party) agree. "I will bless those who bless you and the one who curse you, I will curse." (Gen. chapter 12) Is Barack Obama God's blessing on America?
7. Rhetoric
Joe Mevorah ,   Lincoln, USA   (09.24.13)
This is the same rhetoric Israel hears from the Obama administration on a daily basis. Within the next ten years, as America is less depended on oil coming from the Middle East the U.S. will separate itself from Israel. It's time for Israel to formulate new alliances. China, and yes, Russia should be on top of their list.
8. Obama the Enemy of Israel
Bill Stein ,   USA   (09.24.13)
It's interesting that Obama should show his true deceitful colors against Israel in this speech now what will Bibi say in response will he kiss a::s or kick a::s Obama. By the way did anyone in Obamas speech writing team tell the President Ramallah is not occupied. There was a major article in the Daily Caller a couple of days ago about alleged money laundering from foreign governments.Obama hates Israel it's time to Amit it and start to fight back with counter pressure and stop these appeasement talks.
9. Dear Mr. Obama-
Ppls ,   Dual citizen   (09.24.13)
I left United States because I felt that you have failed me and my nation as our president. I came to Israel when you had absolutely zero interest in this country, its security or its people. Why are you haunting me here now? Focus on your people, they need you more than ever. Sincerely, Your Former Supporter
10. Benazzi #3, the UNSC cannot determine borders
Jake   (09.24.13)
nor create countries. UN doesn't work like that, sorry. Middle Eastern peacemaking is predicated on bilateral negotiations, per UNSC 242 (Chapter VI), a non-binding resolution, which called for withdrawals from unspecified amounts of territories, the establishment of "secure and recognized boundaries", but makes no mention of a palestinian state. That is the only resolution both sides accepted as a basis for negotiations. You don't like it? Go set up your own peace process in a parallel universe.
11. Obama
(09.24.13)
He abandoned Iranian and Bahrain protestors to their evil government, destroyed Libya and Syrian, butchered Afghan children and started the debacle called "Obamacare" that will ravage America. Not content with ruining six countries, Obama has found time to get his favorite target, the Jew.
12. Here we go again with this broken record
Jack ,   San Diego, USA   (09.24.13)
13. Judea/Samaria make Israel viable & belong to Israel.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.24.13)
Not only do Judea and Samaria belong to Israel by every historic and legal right. Judea and Samaria are vital for Israel's survival. This is obvious to any literate child capable of reading a map. Obama continues to spew utter rubbish.
14. Obama. what is he smoking?
Ezer   (09.24.13)
The consensus in Israel is that the status quo is just fine and we do not need another basket case Arab nation that will present us with a mortal danger, sitting next to us. No Mr. Obama. The consensus is that the Palestinians have made no effort to prove to the world that they deserve a state. Mr. Obama. Please do us a favor and leave us alone. Another Arab state is a recipe for another war and no one wants that.
15. Occupation means
(09.24.13)
Areas captured by IL in 1967 war. UN resolution after 67 does not say withdraw from all territories. If Pals and their supporters keep lecturing IL about its non compliance with any number of UN resolutions, it would be as well to remember that tha UN GA voted to partition in to 2 states, voted to recognise IL. The Pals and Arab world have been slow and reluctant to accept this legitimacy that IL has. Why should IL pay attention to UN resolutions, sponsored by states that refuse to accept it has the right to exist and this has no doubt fed the settlement zealots and other ultra nationalists. The recent events in Nairobi and the vicious civil war in Syria do little to persuade or convince most of t
16. Amazing how many talkbackers here live in past, fantasyland
EUboy ,   EU   (09.24.13)
Palestine is here to stay. The verdict is still out about the zionist, colonialist, religious-based non-democracy but the future doesn't look bright.
17. So he says...as he sells out the world.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (09.24.13)
A very pathetic president.
18. #10, UN created Israel, borders, out of thin air, a disaster
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.24.13)
19. Your diplomatic path has failed the test.
Chaim ,   Arad   (09.24.13)
Israel security has never and will never depend on a Palestinian state. You want them to have a state? Give them something on the east coast and let's see how that flies in the face of true Americans. After all, you were in office net even 30 days and you gave them 900M of tax payers bucks. Sorry, but you are dumber than you look.
20. To #7
Antonia ,   USA   (09.24.13)
Majority of Russians do not care about or support Israel and many more are anti-Semitic. I am from one of the biggest and most educated cities in Russia (Vladivostok) and the only rabbi we had was execiled a few years ago. So don't get your hopes up.
21. OCCUPATION ???? hahaha
Pearl Green ,   Israel   (09.24.13)
The only so called occupation are the Palestinians occupying Jewish land !! OBAMA....you are selling America and its inhabitants down the river and if you are not careful....you will not be able to swim back up.
22. Jordan is 'Palestine'!
Son of Cyrus ,   UK   (09.24.13)
There is no room for another country between Israel & Jordan and everybody knows it. It is time to face facts and truths. At best some parts of Judea & Shomron will be given up to the Arabs to join up with Jordan. That is the only practical solution, anything else is doomed to failure and serious issues for the whole region.
23. This speech
PaulD ,   Jerusalem   (09.24.13)
was obviously written by Obama-Jews. Those un-Jews that think Israeli Jews are a sub-human strain of the Enlightened Progressive Jews of the West. Israel is not Occupied, An Arab Islamic state or not will be a threat to humanity, let alone the Jews. The Arabs deserve nothing for their cruelty and hatred, and they can never benefit the Jewish people. We see it throughout the world, and Obama do not play Jews for fools, we know what is in your Muslim heart.
24. #3 Steve Benassi
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (09.24.13)
If you want to give half a state to the Palestinian Arabs, give them half of Minnesota. Or even better, give them all of it.
25. UNGA voted a non-binding resolution on recognizing 2 States
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.24.13)
Britain withdrew in 1948. Arabs didn't want another Arab country. Zionists had theirs and had to fight a long and bloody war with invading armies of Arab 7 countries that intended to divide the land among themselves. Israel won the war decisively on its own without outside help and this is how it was created not by UNGA useless vote.
26. #24, ignore Ben-ASS-i
ASTRONAUT ,   SC,USA   (09.24.13)
he constantly hovers around this site like an annoying flea.
27. Middle East is a disaster since UN created all Arab entities
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.24.13)
28. #24, Palestinians are indigenous, European Jews are not
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.24.13)
29. More Empty Words From A lead from the rear
