1. Dumb dumb dumb obama
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (08.09.14)
Bibi's IQ is 180 obamas's not known from his Kenyan schools records but, he's not an honor student in America or in politics maybe instead of fighting and insulting our only democratic ally in the ME Israel, obama could learn some proper manners and treat his guests with courtesy instead of making them wait while you insult them, so unnecessarily? What a total disaster ego driven obama is for everyone. Bibi will leave this muslim lizard talking to himself as no one listens to a fool as is obama. KEEP BUILDING !!!!
2. You are an experiment of white America..
Calibi ,   Sydney Aust   (08.09.14)
You are an experiment of white America who venture into something that is left and left handed and it happen to be you , Obama! Your history is less than a generation, black still is figuring out the right way in USA. You are lucky to be groom & nurture by the whites.....otherwise. So please do not put Bibi on an angle into your parallel. Bibi have a roots dated back into ancient times thousand of years before Christ in Israel and before the Roman change the name of Israel into Palestine. He is strong not in your sense, not in parallel to any sort of imagination you might think! Your roots is black Africa, you and the world know that well. Bibi roots is in ISRAEL, 1,000 of yrs before slave where traded across the Atlantic. Bibi's roots, Religion, Culture, Race and Language was/is from Israel, native of M/E. Your political language is intimidating and arrogant. However Bibi is a leader of the Jews but you are an experiment of America political game. (end)
3. Comments from the guy who never has to run to a bomb shelter
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (08.09.14)
...during a round of golf with his NBA buddies. He knows everything...he smoked dope in the back of the library at Harvard...and read his Sad Sack comic books. Is that why he intercepts Russian Bombers over Alaska and the West Coast every chance he gets...because he is to strong...and he needs to bend a little and negotiate flights right into the drop zone for Putin?
4. Obama's determined agenda
Arn ,   Yehud, Israel   (08.09.14)
Yep... weakening America's surest and ablest friends is Obama's determined agenda. First it was Mubarak, then Sisi (by attempting to replace Egypt with Qatar and Turkey - both in the MB camp), and now Netanyahu. If Obama had a grain of a clue he would know that here in Israel Bibi is regarded as pitifully weak and spineless.
5. watch the Democrats scramble
Arn ,   Yehud, Israel   (08.09.14)
It will be almost amusing to watch all the Democrats running for office scramble to distance themselves from Obama and the irreparable damage he has done to their once great country.
6. Guess who cannot confront Hamas: not Israel.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (08.09.14)
7. compromise is old hat
ky   (08.09.14)
Why is this guy harping on an issue which has been shown to be over and done with . It has become clear that compromise is not a reality. One one side ISIS beheads non believers and hangs their heads on poles in the street and the other Hamas makes more or less the same statement by launching rockets and rejecting any form of peace. They are out to murder and there can be no compromise with murderers. There is only one option, to remove them before they remove you.
8. Look who's talking?
Jew1 ,   Ashdod   (08.09.14)
Obama, you have messed up your relationship with all the American friendly countries and tried to make friends with all Muslim terror harboring or sponsoring countries who keep on making fool of you. Please keep your advise and opinions to yourself as we have seen fruits of your foreign policy in Libya, Egypt, Iraq and Afghanistan. Egypt is smart enough to throw Muslim brotherhood government against your wishes. You are a friend of Turkish price minister, who is trying to take secular Turkey on the path of sharia. Please keep your stupid and idiotic thoughts to yourself. Every time you open your mouth, we start doubting your IQ.
9. He's damn right Bibi is powerful.
Viewer ,   SÈWHÉ, GBÈDÉ   (08.09.14)
Yeah? Has he just noticed that or some lines on Friedman's face revealed it to him? Israel was here before his kenyan father,or his arab terrorist buddies ever thought of coming into this world. Israel will still be here and flourishing under the Lord's protection when Barack and his mushkins are gone and forgotten.
10. Obama saying Netanyahu too strong
susie silver ,   haifa   (08.09.14)
Obama needs to be removed from being president. Not only is his country trillion dollar in debt he is encouraging terrorists to flourish from a comment he just made. Gaza has been given milllions and millions of dollars by UN EU and why are there no Universities and lovely apartments and schools???? Where has the money gone too. Compromise means taking known terrorists with blood on their hands freedom. God will never honor that.
11. People have to be ready for it, you idiot!
Shep Fargotstein ,   Memphis, TN - USA   (08.09.14)
Leaders can't "make peace" unless the people who elected them want it YOU MORAN! Israelis have always wanted peace and the Palestinians have always wanted Israel destroyed. Just one look around the mideast - all the brutality, carnage - all from a culture of death worshipped by Islamists.....and Obama really thinks DIPLOMACY can solve this problem? This conflict isn't over land - it's over Israel's existence and the existence of the free world. What a fu8ck'n idiot!
12. another way for BO to pressure Israel
Lou Adams ,   LA CA   (08.09.14)
The only concessions have been made by the Israeli side, can BO name one concession that the Muslims had made
13. Barack Hussein Obama does what he does best, supports......
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.09.14)
Muslim Brotherhood
14. "Follow my leadership," says Obama to Bibi
DvorahTheProphetess ,   SC, USA   (08.09.14)
And dismantle the Israel like I am dismantling America."
15. Obama finally "gets" G-d's Plan for His People Israel
DvorahTheProphetess ,   SC, USA   (08.09.14)
"To have scratched out of rock this incredibly vibrant, incredibly successful, wealthy and powerful country is a testament to the ingenuity, energy and vision of the Jewish people." Damned straight you nitwit! Unlike your recent, drooling speech to your Arab donors as you "praised" Arab contributions to the building of the American dream. (?) Say, what?!
16. Obama ought Pressure Turkey and Qatat
Zechariah   (08.09.14)
Turkey and Qatar have a duty with USA and NATO help to take in a million Gazans for respite and defeat the Islamic Califati to the East .
17. Obama thinks that strong support for PM is bad
CJK   (08.09.14)
obama is jealous, envious. his own support among americans is dismal. obama is so pathetic that he is an embarrassment. unfortunately, given his position, he is very dangerous.
18. Israel should send Obama a picture of Bibi
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (08.09.14)
trying to drive his little golf ball out of a bomb crater on the seventh hole. Maybe the idiot ( Obama) ...could figure out the difference between what's happening in Israel and the United States
19. and Obama is too stupid and incompetent
ralph   (08.09.14)
20. Who calls him an ally?
Zyx ,   USA   (08.09.14)
Obama's ability to support his enemies and destroy his allies is unbelievable. Only two more years to go.
21. Then lets hope the Israeli public
DT ,   TA Israel   (08.09.14)
ensure that Netanyahu does not give in and shows Obama up for what he is- a wet Paper Tiger.
22. Ha!!! this from a guy who can't even protect his own damn
borders and finds ,   out events on the   (08.10.14)
23. #11 no indication
(08.10.14)
There is no indication that Obama wants to solve the problem by diplomacy where you end up with "two states for two peoples". All the evidence shows that Obama believes the problem can only be solved by reversing the "Nakba" of 1948.
24. #18, I love it!!!
usa tx   (08.10.14)
25. Bibe is demonstrating STRONG LEADERSHIP to a junior
inexperienced ,   community orgainzer!   (08.10.14)
26. NO to Trojan Horse pressure
Brod ,   USA   (08.10.14)
Just say NO to Obama's pressure. External pressure is detrimental to Israel. It is like letting HAMAS to rain more rocket bombs on Israel with impunity. Obama has NO business in intruding in how Israel defends itself from HAMAS reign of terror whose goal is the destruction of Israel. Israel is facing an existential threat. Israel can tell Obama to shut up. Period. What counts is Congress and the American people support Israel.
27. Israel
Dan Elliott ,   Syracuse,NY,USA   (08.10.14)
Here are steps Obama needs to take with Netanyahu. First remind him of the $3billion + he gets from American taxpayers! Then be like IKE either you listen to my advice or the BUCKS stop!
28. NY Times is the Problem - Stop CoverUp
Dina   (08.10.14)
They know very well that the murders of civilians was done by Hamas and they should have reported that Hamas Murderers threatened their reporters if they took images of their staging of dead bodies and planting rockets in hospitals, schools, mosques, etc. shameful news organization!
29. US Congress Supplemental Arms Bill
Robert J Molineaux S ,   Redfield, NY, USA   (08.11.14)
Is it true that Obama threatened to withhold his signature from the recent supplemental arms bill for Israel until Netanyahu agreed to a cease fire?
30. Obama: One must pressure Netanyahu
Nora Tel Aviv   (08.15.14)
Israel is in danger, not the US. Netanyahu is responsible for Israel as is Obama for the US.
