The US is an ally. Its administration is a Muslim. Yaalon simply speaks reality to a US administration that refuses to view a realistic grasp of the situation in Israel The muslims do NOT want peace...the want all Jews dead. For Israel's survival, full annexation of Judea and Samaria must be quickly enacted and all muslim terrorists must be rounded up and deported to any muslim nation who will take these degenerates that they all claim to love and support so much.
3. Obama puts ego ahead of national security
(10.25.14)
it is very typical of obama to put his ego ahead of the crises in national security. the entire middle east is literally burning, but he won't let members of his national security team meet with israel's defence minister. in the sinai egyptian troops are being massacred by jihadists armed with weapons stolen from the failed state of lybia. in syria, hundreds of thousands have been slaughtered by assad with the help of iranian forces. the terror army of the aptly named islamic state is in large measure an answer to events in syria. obama is about to sign a capitulation deal with iran's terror regime, contrary to logic and to the wishes of the american congress. the proposed deal is also contrary to the national security of the state of israel. obama does not want to hear that. nor does he want to hear that israel will not agree to withdraw from any areas currently under her control.
4. Israel-American crisis
Rob ,   De Leon, texas   (10.25.14)
I don't normally post on sites but I felt this was important. Rest assured that Israel does not have a crisis with most Americans, the crisis lies with the administration and we are experiencing the same lack of trust at home as you are.
5. Israel / US relations
Daniel ,   United States   (10.25.14)
Israel....your problem is not with the majority of American people. We support you wholeheartedly. Your problem is with the evil doer Barack Obama and his hoard. He is not American at Heart. So we are with you and support you always. Shalom.
6. American Citizens Stand with Israel
Laura ,   Denver, CO   (10.25.14)
Most American citizens support Israel. Our corrupt government is problematic, and "We The People" are working on that issue. "Remember November!"
7. Israel - US "crisis"
Peter Arnone ,   Bozeman, MT USA   (10.25.14)
Disgrace!
8. Israeli National Motto:
Shekel Trader   (10.25.14)
The Israeli national motto: "What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine, too." -S/T

10. Not just with US ,...

... but with the rest of civilized world ,...
11. America is not the Obama Administration
Justinian ,   New Haven, U.S.A.   (10.25.14)
There's a crisis with THIS American administration, but Obama and his incompetent leftists will be gone in two years. We can only hope that a new president will be elected in 2016 who will appreciate and respect Israel's ties with the U.S., and strengthen them.
12. Relations with WASHINGTON
Sacto Dan ,   Sacramento CA   (10.25.14)
Hand in there for two years, and then things will improve.
13. Obama
iRAN ,   NYC, USA   (10.25.14)
The crisis won't end until Nov 2016
14. Lapid puts ambition before Israel
(10.25.14)
lapid wants to become prime minister. that will never happen. ps. post 3 is mine
15. When Israel will stop acting like a spoiled child
(10.25.14)
Its relations with US will be better. Israel wants to have it both ways but it doesn't work like this in diplomacy. Israel is always acting like the American spoiled child but things are changing in this world as we can see and Israel has no longer the power it used to have. I believe that in the actual world situation Israel should have a low profile and reassure the Arab street that it won't take back the Dome of the Rock and that Israel is not going to fall into the hands of radical judaism like it's happening all over the Middle East now
16. U.S. - Israel Relations
WarPony ,   Houston, Texas   (10.25.14)
It would appear that not everyone is enamoured with the Zionists. Being a wealthy Nation that receives billions of dollars of annual aid from the U.S., Israel should follow the Treaty of International Human Rights. I have no respect for the POTUS as he has attempted to destroy this Country, but I will defend actions towards faux friends.
17. ISRAEL YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!
Ronald Barbour ,   Seattle/WA/USA   (10.26.14)
First of all, let me say that I'm a Christian, American patriot and very much a friend of Israel. I believe that the enemies of Israel are the enemies of the American Constitutional Republic - and the main enemy of both is the neo -Fascist Regime of Barack Obama. I would compare the situation in America to the post 1933 Germany when the German Republic was overthrown to be replaced by a totalitarian regime. The evil American Empire of Barack Obama is no longer the friend of Israel.
18. USA and Israel... finished..
Levant Selena ,   Phoenix, USA   (10.25.14)
The Jews in the USA have supported the democrats forever. As a Conservative Republican, I've supported Israel. Yet at this point, as the democrats continue to destroy my country, from my conservative position, there is no point in supporting Israel any more. (note, fyi, just came across this article via drudge, and had to make this post... because I am so tired of the Jewish Americans unquestioned support for the socialist democrats.)
19. Israel/US relations
John Morzenti ,   Devon   (10.25.14)
I feel sorry for the poor Israelis (avg IQ 114-120) trying to deal with Joe Biden (measured IQ 72). In addition to the implicit insult of having to deal with this lip-bibbling cretin, think of the practical difficulties of reaching some sort of deal with an utter cretin. The mind boggles.
20. Crises
Robert Weintraub ,   New York City   (10.26.14)
After the midterm elections Obama will sink into total irrelevance. His own Democratic candidates for President will have a more pro-Israel platform than he has. Just hang on for another few weeks
21. Lapid: Israel-US relations in 'crisis'
Calvin Hobbes ,   San Francisco, U.S.   (10.26.14)
U.S. elections are coming up. This would be an excellent topic to bring up to ask questions to Democratic politicians and any Democratic leadership who happen to be present during the campaigns.
22. US relations with Israel
RockyS ,   Seattle,WA   (10.26.14)
Relations are by definition are a two way street. Given the present administration, Israel is seen and treated as the problem. It won't take long for Israel to find a new friend to trade with and get support and investors. Americans voted for a man who doesn't really support Israel or for that matter America.
23. Obama in crisis
Mauloa ,   St. Louis Missouri   (10.26.14)
Name one country in the world that Obama is not in crisis with. He is just more obvious with Israel because he knows there are not many world leaders that will come to your defense. However, do not rule out the people of the world - more are on your side that you can imagine. The good book tells who will win in the end. Israel has always been and always will be. Shalom, an American Christian
24. US/Israel Relations
Michael ,   USA   (10.26.14)
It's very sad to see US/Israel relations strained so bad and I fully blame President Obama for not being more of a real friend to Israel. The comments said about John Kerry, I can't blame anyone, John Kerry doesn't understand, he just doesn't get it that's probably why he never become president in 2004. Israel is the best friend the United States and Canada has in the middle-east. It seems like Canada is smarter and a better friend to Israel these days, Harper better understands the threats Israel faces and how those same threats are a threat to the west too.
25. Obama (Barry) Hates Jews
Fred ,   Utah, USA   (10.26.14)
He sat in a "church" for over 20 years listening to hate speech against Jews. What do you expect? Also Samantha Power, Hagel and also Barry do not like Jews or Israel. In fact Barry is a Saudi plant paid for by Arab money to destroy Israel and America.

yonatan Allon ,   adelaide/Israel   (10.28.14)
Pure BS as usual Wes the split.
