31. What do you expect from these groups
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (03.21.14)
These two groups are leftist mouth pieces the NJDC had Kerry[Kohn's] Brother as one of their officials.The IPF is well known for funding pro Arab anti Israel groups
32. EARTH TO US JEWISH GROUPS
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS HOUSE   (03.21.14)
When israelis wish to listen to your BS ,they will let you know....until then ,I suggest you mind your own business.
33. OPINIONS OF U.S. JEWS
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED OBVIOUS HOUSE   (03.21.14)
And opinions of US jewish groups are important because ?
34. The real question
Avramele   (03.21.14)
How about asking the real question as to why Yaalon says what he does? I would say it's all for internal consumption leading to Likud primaries should new elections be called. The scary part is he's the grownup compared to Danon and the gang of ultra right pishers that surround him. The Likud right will be their own undoing yet.
35. American Jewish Democrats
Harvey ,   West Palm Beach USA   (03.21.14)
The Israeli Defense Minister is only telling the truth and the truth hurts, especially to those Jewish American Democrats who voted for and are in love with Obama. Time for them to wake up and smell the coffee. Romney looks pretty good right now!
36. Ya'alon is right.
Yossef Carnevale ,   Sao Paulo - Brasil   (03.21.14)
American leftist jews are wrong and Obama is nothing.
37. Two different animals
Robert ,   lost in farmington   (03.21.14)
One lives in the riches parts of America , and the other tries To survive daily. one has to dodge the media and traffic , while the other has to dodge rockets.Everything Ya'alon said was right on target.
38. Arrogant & touchy
Naomi   (03.21.14)
Ya'alon is just being honest. Why do these Americans get so upset instead of learning from their mistakes? It is obvious to most people that Obama has failed in dealing with Iran and Russia, and his foreign policy has been wrong from the start, when he supported Muslim Brotherhood instead of America's ally Mubarak.
39. Strollin' in the shadows
Gideon Reader   (03.21.14)
Don't concern yourself Bogie. The "Jewish American Groups" are just shadow members of the "J-streetwalkers" who reflexively cling to the leftist trouser legs of the current sociopathologic corupt incompetents who, pro teem, occupy the seat of the government of the United States. They will congeal around EVERY leftist issue and affirm the ZerObama cause. These Democrat leg humpers would have assisted the Third Reich with train schedules circa 1940's.
40. George Soros "Jews"
BUILD BABY BUILD   (03.21.14)
In name only. Some folks can't admit they were terribly wrong voting for obama not once but twice. They may never get a clue but, the American majority ( not Jews ) are beginning to hate obama and his muslim, socialist, Kenyan ways. KEEP BUILDING !!!!
41. Kudos to yNet
Dr. Meni Gaon ,   Eitanim, Israel   (03.21.14)
Thank you for publishing the findings of our friends at NJDC and IPF. We at the Eitanim Center for Inner Peace and Equilibrium (ECIPE) have been vigorously trying to advance the same agenda. Politicians like Ya'alon can drive normal people insane!
42. Obama's bootlickers
Alon   (03.21.14)
Pavlovian response is for them higher thought
43. people who voted Ombama 2 times
Bear Klein ,   uSA   (03.21.14)
Only some of the confused who voted for Obama twice could actually think Yaalon is wrong. Strong US policy on Iran?? Really they are finishing the bomb as I write.
44. Which line does Iran cross when the chant death to America a
Adi ,   Zurich   (03.21.14)
Which line does Iran cross when the chant death to America and export their weapons of death
45. Criticism of Ya'alon
Josh ,   New York, USA   (03.21.14)
It's not really honest to headline "Jewish group" slam Ya'alon remarks when the only 2 groups you cite are politically allied with the Obama adminstration.
46. 34.
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.21.14)
Yaalon says what he does because he believes his words to be the truth-which they are. Your analysis is way off.
47. 30.
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.21.14)
Yes, nutter & you go crawl back under your rock, where you belong.
48. NJDC?
BaGolan   (03.21.14)
To call the N'J'DC a "Jewish" group is a stretch by any determination. They are naught more then a kapo tool of the most antiJew administration in US history. They condemn him for speaking the truth about their emperor
49. u s jews would let iran have the bomb .
(03.21.14)
yaalon is right . lets wake up . thye arabs want us dead . what do we not understand .
50. Slamming Yaalon?
JJ Gross ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.21.14)
Neither of these two organizations is in any way representative of mainstream US Jewry. IPF (Israel Policy Forum) is essentially the senior-citizens version of J Street, a group of self-serving liberal rich folk who were disappointed when Oslo didn't suddenly create huge business opportunities for them. The other group is made up of the useful idiots who would follow Obama into a snake pit and thank him when they are bitten -- the hardest of the hard core Democratic Jews who are blind as bats to the failures and stupidity their man in the White House.
51. The Pollard Syndrome
Erez   (03.21.14)
American jews are terrified they will be marked as "traitors" by the american administration, which is one of the main reasons Pollard is still in jail as a threat to amercian jewry not to collaborate with Israel. Israel is viewed by some, corrupted by the islamic money, as a liability, not anymore an asset, a tendence that is growing stronger with the Kenyan muslim in the White House.
52. please don't speak for me and millions of others
Zoe ,   Los Angeles, USA   (03.21.14)
I'm a US Jew and agree with Ayalon 100%
53. pinkas, diskin and american jews
arieh   (03.21.14)
with jews like diskin, alon pinkas, american jews attacking yaalon, jews need lots of help. Yaalon reversed west bank terror while the darling of these groups and people, ehud barak and yossi beilin did nothing as israelis were dying like flies. get down on your hands and knees and pray for forgivness. Ask ukraine what kerry, the empty windbag failure whose main claim to fame is marrying rich heiress and dining with bashir and asma assad in damascus where he said assad was a reformer and partner for peace. And to this day, yaalon is defending israeli borderrs unlike the smoke meat jews in the US or pinkas and diskin, who are so out of touch that it defies elementary sense. No peace can ever be had with arabs. and likud should throw up bibi at the first chance and install bennett or shamir. Enough of this dzimmi debasement.
54. The Pollard Syndrome
Erez   (03.21.14)
American jews are terrified they will be marked as "traitors" by the american administration, which is one of the main reasons Pollard is still in jail as a threat to amercian jewry not to collaborate with Israel.

55. Tokinism
Joe Mevorah ,   Lincoln,USA   (03.21.14)
Ya'Allon is correct in his observations regarding America's weakness. As a Jewish-American I find the comments of the Jewish groups to slander and curtail Ya'Allon to be an an example of token Jewish thought which goes back to pre -W.W.II Don't irritate the goyim. These groups need to understand that tokinism will no longer be tolerated. Gentlemen, kiss my ass!!
56. Freedom of Speech
Max ,   Washington DC   (03.21.14)
Everyone has the right to speak their minds in Democratic Countries such as the United States and Israel etc. Those that can't stand any criticism are usually Dictators but not always!
57. @ 1
sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (03.21.14)
It is not your soldiers on the line. We have had enough of wars. If terrorist where attacking our cities we would of erased the launching pads or exterminated the groups that launch the attacks. You can defend this big mouth all you want, but I can assure you that the next missile attacks your weak defense minister will do almost nothing in response. He can talk the talk, but I have never seen him walk the walk. In regards to Russia, who cares it is not worth one US soldier or one US dollar, In regards to Iran they will not develop nukes. In regards to Syria it is more of your problem than ours and you do nothing. Look at Hezbollah aiming 100,000 missiles at your throat. What has Israel done about that? Would you like me to answer? Or would you like to share with us the secret intel? In other words, people that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
58. Yaalon's repetitive statements on this issue are...
Michael ,   Haifa   (03.21.14)
....from the mouth of a stupid arrogant "bok", who damages our relationship with the one country that has consistently supported our Defence and our wavering International standing
59. Obama is hiding behind his far left Jews
CJK   (03.21.14)
these two groups are simply representatives of the obama regime and mouth the words of the administration. their criticism of general ya'alon are absurd. ya'alon is one of the very top military leaders of the jewish state, a man who has seen combat and has proven himself through actions, not words. compared to him, these elitist jews are really big nothings, as is their boss. ya'alon's job is to prepare the IDF to defend the jewish state at all moments and by all means. ya'alon's comments that obama is feeble are correct and history will prove him right. israel cannot live with a nuclear iran or a nuclear thresh hold iran. if obama wants to allow the terror state of iran to retain the essence of iran's nuclear weapons program, then israel will have to act alone to defend herself against this holocaust denying, genocidal terror state. obama has spent his presidency denigrating, humiliating and undermining the jewish state and her leaders. obama is not a friend of israel.
60. Obama loving toadies slam great Israeli soldier.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.21.14)
These Obama loving toadies have probably likely don'tt know how to hold a gun and have risked nothing more than a paper cut. Yet they slam brave, highly accomplished soldier Ya'alon. Despicable!
