1. Full support to Ya'alon
Laurence ,   israel   (03.21.14)
Who cares about these idiotic ultra leftists jewish groups that are Obama's slaves. Ya'alon was right to say what he said. Obama is a total failure on all matters and especially foreign matters. Look at how he managed the arab spring, the Syrian genocide and now the Russian affair. He's the worst President ever.
2. Boogie is right!
Avraham ,   Netivot area   (03.21.14)
American foreign policy on Iran & the rest of the Middle East is more than weak, it's pathetic.
3. Yaalon
Joseph Katz ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.21.14)
It is clear that Mr Ya'alon wants to take the place of Mr Netanyahu in the coming elections. His remarks make him popular in Israel. His subsequent denial is for the press and appears in small characters. I presume he is not taken seriously in the US. His babble makes him lose credibility assuming he ever had any.
4. Seriously what do you expect American Jews to say
Al   (03.21.14)
much like the Jews in the Ukraine, they will pine to their host country even as they will be herded unto cattle cars. It has been the same story forever, the golusJew stays a golusJew. Thats why we have an Israel, for those Jews who want to be a free people and nation. Long live Israel.
5. American Jews(some) will remain clueless until the day
tom ,   tel aviv   (03.21.14)
they're dragged by their hair into the streets by a new wave of global antisemitism. Just goes to prove, that even our famous "Jewish-smart-genes" are worthless when exposed to a toxic brainwash!
6. Kol Ha Kavod Ya'alon
Steve Goodman ,   Israel   (03.21.14)
Keep up the good work, do not pay attention to these foolish Jewish groups that support obummah, I commend you for your strength and courage, you may feel like a voice alone in the wilderness, but you are not alone, many of us speak the same words on a daily basis, but the news does not air our comments, stay strong, stay the course, stay who you are.......AM YISROEL CHAI
7. Moshe Yaalon
Eli ,   Haifa, Israel.   (03.21.14)
is not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.Better for all concerned if he just kept his mouth shut.
8. English media gives nice handicap to Der Strumer.
Miron ,   USA   (03.21.14)
9. Peace on earth goodwill to man
Jerusalem   (03.21.14)
The Islamic Republic of Iran's Spiritual Leader declared a Fatwa against nuclear weapons. President Rouhani has voiced his disapproval of Israeli treatment of Palestinians, generally speaking of course because the PA rhetoric doesn't stop either. We're not looking for a bloodbath. If you take care of your people, be it the people on the land, they will take care of you. It will be seen and you will be respected for this even if you bring back a variation of the Law. Without it, you're being mocked. International attention on Israel for settlement building sheds a negative light due to the fact that nothing is heard about housing for the Palestinians and the social-economic plague. People are suffering and need relief. Not like everything is perfect in the international scene but the attention is on Israel and Palestinians. It's possible to team up and capitalize on it for the good. Honor needs to come back to the lands and that is for the people. It is possible. We need the example.
10. WH message to Boogie: Get with the pogrom
Avi Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.21.14)
...Oops, we meant program ;-) I suspect it won't be too long until we read about Boogie being involved in some kind of scandal. Dissent will not be tolerated!
11. @US "Jews":Jewish or leftist ?
trump   (03.21.14)
About time to choose who your real enemies are !
12. Following the Rabbi Stephen Weiss doctrine
Jake B. ,   Cleveland, OH   (03.21.14)
In the 1930's, Reform Jewish leaders like Weiss were obsessed with going along with the Administration's policy of isolationism. Weiss dismissed early reports of the Final Solution as propaganda and urged FDR not to turn the Nazi Occupation of Europe into a "Jewish Issue". It should be noted that MJ Rosenberg, a severe critic of Israel, was IPF's policy director until 2009. Look up 'Israel Policy Forum: The Network of Intrigue' - IPF "Moderate"? Perhaps, compared to Hamas.
13. After the mushroom cloud...
Ace ,   Israel   (03.21.14)
After the mushroom cloud goes up over Tel Aviv, G-d forbid, I'm sure these Jewish groups will start fundraising for Holocaust II museums, which the US president will inaugurate, to remind the world it shouldn't happen again.
14. Amazing how no one protested the verbal attacks
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (03.21.14)
by Iran against Israel all these years !Actually I wish this Ya'alon was the Prime Minister. Then we'd show the world how it is done.
15. #3 halevai!
Orthodox Jew   (03.21.14)
Bibi has become pathetic and cowardly and Yaalon might be a very good candidate to replace him. Those "Jewish" groups have nothing Jewish about them except for their ancestors. Non-practicing Jews cannot be put on the same level as true Jews.
16. Well, the US court Jews are at it again,
Mira ,   Vienna   (03.21.14)
they should be ashamed! The whole World talks about teh weakness and clueless of the US adminsitration, Iran is mocking them on a daily base and nobody else has to "apologize" for the truth!
17. At last it is nice to see
David ,   On this planet   (03.21.14)
Talk back Israelis supporting their leader.except for a couple of T/A scum.Kol ha kavod
18. Feeling the heat just like the Jews of Nazi Germany
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.21.14)
19. there are many misinformed obamabats Jews!
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (03.21.14)
they are libtards before being Jewish and being proud Israel. purely robotic in thought and actions.
20. #4 Golus Jews
Sam ,   PT   (03.21.14)
are Jews who have not learned their lesson that non-Jewish nations despise Jews who want to be like them and copy them. Secular Zionists - even if they live in Israel - have an inferior complex and are the typical Golus Jews. The only Jews who are "free people and nation" are religious Jews.
21. Emperor without clothes
Hunt S Cross ,   England   (03.21.14)
Thanks to Obama's policies, we live in a less stable and civilised world and in a more violent one. Nature abhors a vacuum, as they used to say, and Khamenei, Putin and the jihadis are quick to move in. Ya'alon only says what needs to be said, while the remaining Obama worshippers feel the ground shifting below their feet and lash out where they feel they can lash out without retribution.
22. These are the Jews that voted for Obama Promised World Peace
Alan ,   SA   (03.21.14)
and paradise America...He's now in 6th year.of presidency... Is the world a safer or even a better place? ...Is the Middle East better or worse off?
23. Misguided groups
Ellen ,   NYC/Netanya   (03.21.14)
As an American ( who lives part time in Israel) it is important to realize that these groups speak for no one but themselves. They do not ask "American Jews" what we think and they do not care. The groups are managed by those with deep pocketbooks and personal opinions. Unfortunately, many American Jews feel as they do BUT it would be a big error to think that ALL feel that way. Please Israelis and others--understand the truth. To those from Europe who are knocking Americans--have you listened to the EU lately?
24. US jewry should be seen now as ennemies of Israel
Frederic ,   Kfar Saba   (03.21.14)
They sold out Israel as said the brilliant representative of Minnesota (republican) Michele Bachman .
25. # 9
Jules   (03.21.14)
Since almost all Iranian Jews are gone, why don't you offer to the Palestinian Arabs to relocate to Iran ? You can give them permanent residency and incorporate them into the Iranian society. Taking into account that Iran occupies an enormous territory, it has sufficient space to offer to the Palestinian Arabs. That will be the end of the conflict.
26. Any Jew
paulD ,   Jerusalem   (03.21.14)
who responds to Ya'alon's comments as ridiculous, parroting the 'feeble' response of their true masters, the leftist socialists of America, has abandoned any innate sense of survival and any meaningful Jewish connection.
27. Why must we survive?
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (03.21.14)
Survival of Israel and left wing Ideals are diametrically opposite. Ignorance of Arab intent vis a vis Jews. Ignorance of intent of Democratic agenda towards America, and Israel, is no basis to draw the map. Sooner Obama can defend treason, sooner we can return to values we cherish
28. Racist jewish organizations....
history nut ,   Israel   (03.21.14)
Racist jewish groups that have rejected Israel and the covenant.
29. "Jewish" groups? They are liberal hacks for Obama.
Cynic ,   USA   (03.21.14)
30. Know your place
Holy Warrior ,   UK   (03.21.14)
and get back in your box.
