... while its operatives abduct our Jewish children and fire rockets at Jewish kindergartens. This is the face of the present White House, sadly...!!

Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.08.14)
Nobody cares what you say fool!
5. Uttering poisonous statements that
paulD ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.08.14)
only encourage the savages, gives a green light to Israel to ignore, and let the filthy Jew-hating Arab supporters how morally repulsive they are. Let them cry, let them mourn, when Jews are victorious.
6. Israel is showing restraint all the time
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.08.14)
Only destroying some empty buildings, is this not called restraint? Israel is too cowardly to stop fearing the world's reaction and retaliate properly.
7. Obama
(07.08.14)
The fact is that when news of the kidnapping became known, the Arab street celebrated. When they were found tortured and murdered, there was even more celebration, and Arab rioters even attacked the hearse that carried the tortured bodies. Of course, Obama never condemned the Arabs for this behavior because his realpolitik purpose is to establish a PLO state to endanger Israel. His demand that Israel show restrain is also realpolitik: he encouraged the Saudis to butcher peaceful protesters in Bahrain, and showed no restraint in killing Afghan civilians to prop up his own regime.
8. show restraint
jon ,   uk   (07.08.14)
Obama should be asked what would US will do if they will be sent hundreds of rockets to places in US will they be restraint not so likely US went to war thousands of miles from US and Israel got it on her door step US EU UN use the same words SHOW RESTAINT about time they should sort Hamas who send the rockets first Hamas and the media (not all) report Israel attack Gaza but don't say why to make it sound that Israel starts it and are the bad one but its normal world got use to it
9.  MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS
tTEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (07.08.14)
When we want your opinion ,we will ask for it bozo.
10. i would like to understand..
DANIELA   (07.08.14)
what president Obama understand as tit for tat. Because, when he speaks about restraint I think about the restraint the US has had since september 11. Do restraint is what they did in Irak? Or in Afganistan? do restraint is going after Al Qaeda in Paquistan killing civilians in the middle? I smile when I hear that word coming from countries that, if they would have been in our situation, the word restraint would have disappeared from their dictionary.
11. Cries of "Restraint" are Only......
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (07.08.14)
when the Goyim think Israel will be victorious. If Israel were to be weak, defenseless and under attack, no demands of "restraint" would be heard. The Goyim, simply, cannot suffer the strong and victorious Jew.
12. Maybe like Putin we should ignore Hussein Obama
Ron ,   Melbourne Australia   (07.08.14)
13. Mr. Restraint Obama - the fool on the hill
Ron ,   Melbourne Australia   (07.08.14)
After he miscalculated, misjudge, mismanaged so much in the world political arena one would have thought that humility might tie his tongue - but no. here we get words of wisdom - when dozens of rockets fly against cities a 'profound' piece of advice restraint. I think in the face of ISIS in Iraq maybe he should do nothing - after all there are not even rockets flying so surly this is no time to even worry......
14. OK America - when are you getting a president with a spine ?
Ron ,   Melbourne Australia   (07.08.14)
15. Oh, please!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.08.14)
So Israel has decided that missile barrages are unacceptable -- during which Obama has maintained a deafening silence -- but now that Israel has decided it will no longer tolerate missile and mortar attacks waged upon its civilian population, Obama has decided to call for "restraint." F**k you, Mr. President. The "palestinians" have sown the wind. Now they are going to have to reap the whirlwind. Fortunately, however, like the rest of the world, we don't take you seriously, so you can flap your gums as much as you like, having ignored the intended death and destruction which has rained upon Israeli civilians, but we aren't paying any attention to you. Israel is a sovereign state that has an affirmative duty to protect its civilian population, and we will stop when WE want to stop and we don't much care about death and destruction of hostile terrorists. Did not the United States and other NATO forces kill two million civilians in Afghanistan, and over one million civilians in Iraq? And no Afghanis or Iraqis fired missiles into the United States or any of the other member states of NATO. Shut up, Obama; you're nothing but an apologist for "palestinian" terror. What's going on now is decidedly not your call -- it is Israel's. Keep your mouth shut, and be a good little house n****r. Israel is a sovereign state. We will do what needs to be done to protect Israeli civilians. You cannot stop us, and you would be well advised not to try. Stay out of our way.
16. Terrible
James ,   USA   (07.08.14)
This out of the mouth of arguably the worst American president of all time. His handling of domestic and international issues have us crying in the US. In the meantime, Israel could do no worse than to hold Abbas responsible for Hamas action as stated by the government and issue a warrant for his arrest. I do not consider that escalation, only holding the government to its promise and the parties responsible for terror to account.
17. Yankees
Paul ,   Kenya   (07.08.14)
ffffff them all.
18. W House confuses world with absence of direction. Red line
Adi ,   Zurich   (07.08.14)
W House confuses the world with absence of direction. Red lines in Syrian chemicals. Ousting Mubarak and Gadaffi to replace them with chaos. Next the white house will call murdering terrorists naughty boys that need cups of tea to talk.
19. TAKE NO NOTICE
tTEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (07.08.14)
20. Now you know why obama is voted the worst US President ever!
BUILD BY BUILD !!!!   (07.08.14)
Israel would do well to ignore this blow hard idiot. Most Americans do. KEEP BUILDING Best response to the US idiot Kenyan who is an anti semitic fool. KEEP BUILDING !!!
21. This guy Hussein obama's history
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (07.08.14)
For starts his birth father was a muslim and his second Father was a muslim. Next he had a vid from before he was in in politics speaking before a muslim group.A copy was given to the Los Angeles Times by someone on the condition that it not be release.Why would someone do that.His history shows he might be a Christian but his heart is that with the muslims.Even my aunt a dyed in wool dem says she'll never vote dem again
22. Our arrogant o-bum-a hates Jews, ignore him.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA   (07.08.14)
23. Obama says "Show restraint"
Ben ,   USA   (07.08.14)
Obama is very funny. If Mexico fired hundreds of missiles on San Diego we would be carpet bombing them day and night. Obama should work harder on his golf game
24. Obama is not qualified to comment!
Calibi ,   Sydney Aust   (07.08.14)
The Arabs must understand when they started some killing on innocents Jews the Israeli govt will never overlook and will hunt them down and also the group in charge. Is a well know action and justice because the world is too fearful to get involve or too anti Israel to demand justice for the victims. However the group (Hamas) also knows and hope some emotional individual Israeli take revenge so all Arabs as usual through out history demand a 100% discount of their premeditate evils deeds. If the Arabs and the world at large and the larger obama cannot differentiate between a perpetual premeditated murder and an individuals reaction that leads to a revenge, then never will there be peace but pains! At the same time I'm not justifying revenge by individuals Israeli....is the stupidity of Jews who took law into their hands and now Bibi will also punish them even though it's an emotional anger that leads to the revenge. Overall the Israeli public have to be more smart and self control even though the evil deed done by Arabs in the first place and first instance premeditated! Fighting a war with anger are more likely to lost more compare to fighting a war with morals!!!!! In all wars so far Israel did well morally and God did rescue Israel. He will again! The Arabs and the world must know God is watching, Israel is fighting for a humble standing in the M/E but the Arabs is fighting for her destruction. There is so many land in the M/E and God had already given Arabs 99.999999999%!!!!!!!!!! Fighting to live and survive is Divine most highest calling in creation!!!!! God bless Israel & Jews
25. Obama's comments
Roland ,   U.K.   (07.08.14)
We all know where Obama stands viz-a -viz the Israeli Hamas conflict asking for "restraint" . The world should know that there are no innocents in Gaza,they are all Hamas, after all they ( the innocents) voted Hamas into power and must accept the consequences of their policies
26. Israel has shown enough restraint
Benji ,   US   (07.08.14)
What did she get in return? Hundreds of missiles and threats. Obama is too busy with his fundraising to notice.
27. POTUS and his B.S.
bernard ,   germany-israel   (07.08.14)
Once again thes ehollow advices what Israel has to do. Well, Mr. President, it's better you shut up. Your advices are as bad as always have been. That's what I mean by restrain.
28. Why didn't we hear him during the last week?
eli ,   Yerushalayim   (07.08.14)
The reason is simple. Because than he would had to call only his friends, the Islamits, to stop fire rockets at civilians. Now that Israel fights back he comes up and both sides to restraint. Soon we will here all the "peace lovers" coming up with similar statements.
29. Has Hussein Obama ever condemned these deadly rockets?
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.08.14)
Hussein Obama would love to literally tie Israel's hands behind their backs in order to allow his Arab brothers to destroy Israel once and for all.
30. Israel urges Obama to show restraint and not meddle
C.K.   (07.08.14)
into its affairs. Israel is under war now and America should please bug out and let Israel deal with it alone.
