1. Race
Dan   (03.03.15)
In any other context, for example if a Jew found him/herself treated poorly regardless of what they did, the obvious suspicion and accusation would be racism. Does Bibi dislike blacks?
2. Obama..??
Beary White ,   Norway   (03.03.15)
Who is joking here??? Obama has set the whole islamic world on fire just to fulfill his secret plan in the islamic world contra western world.... Netanyahu is protecting his land, home-country against the same kind of islam... Then BIBI is the one who should get all honor possible and be protected from the leftist /Islamic trash..
3. #1
Eugene Graczyk ,   Santa Rosa, CA USA   (03.03.15)
Outrageous! We fund Iron dome, offer billions in other aid, defend Israel consistently at the UN and this is your response? You, sir, are an ignorant, FOX-inspired fool. Shut up....
4. Obama deserves much worse for how he treated Netanyahu
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.04.15)
5. Bibi isn't to blame
Shira ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.03.15)
It is the opposite. Obama has not given Israel any feeling that we can trust him!
6. Excellent Speech
Rolff Landsverk ,   Northwood, ND   (03.04.15)
Mr. Netanyahu's speech was well received in America. He took time out to say he was deeply grateful for Obama's support, and for the USA's long-standing friendship and military aid. We all understand that Israel is embattled -- surrounded by nations that pray for its destruction. I, for one, and the people I know, appreciated hearing his perspective, and by the way, we all agree that Iran is an urgent threat. I don't know what the solution is, but it is certainly NOT waiting. Any longer. We've given them too long as it is. Given their stated intentions.
7. Obviously, the relations btw USA and Israel
Nick ,   Sweden   (03.04.15)
have to be Bibi's fault. Because Obama has all these wonderful relationships with other heads of states to prove it. Alon Pinkas, name one single head of state who has a friendly, cordial relationship with Obama. Obama has alienated everybody. He is treated with indifference, ridicule, resentment, fear, distrust etc. But I don't see a friend. Anywhere. He even accepted a Nobel peace prize from the silly Norwegian Nobel committee - as a down payment for all the wonderfull things he would do for world peace. Lost a lot of goodwill right there. In 6 years he's made the world the most dangerous place during my lifetime. So zip it.
8. speech of Bibi
Harry Nihom ,   Ramat Poleg Israel   (03.04.15)
The most excellent speech I ever heard. People who did not like his performance don't understand our history en politics, Harry
9. obama hates us . let us realize that .
a ash ,   nyc ny   (03.04.15)
obama hates us . let us realize that .and now go forward knowing who our enemies are .
10. Bibi and our petulant president.
Lee ,   Logansport, USA   (03.04.15)
Are you folks blind to how this president has almost destroyed what MLK accomplished in the 60s? Are you blind to this presidents racism towards you. Are you going to repeat what happened in Germany by your blindness. I don't care if this president was purple, he is a traitor and a disgrace to America.
11. Does Obama have any good relationships in the Middle East?
Matt C ,   Canada   (03.04.15)
Obama doesn't seem to have a good relationship with ANY of America's allies in the Middle East. Just ask Mubarak, who obeyed Obama's directions perfectly, even when asked to step down and allow radical Islamists the opportunity to gain power. His reward was to be abandoned by the White House and be put on trial for his life. This is how the Obama administration treats its loyal allies, coming to an understanding with Islamist forces is always the bigger priority than protecting America's allies.
12. Alon Pinkas
Brod ,   USA   (03.04.15)
Leftist Alon Pinkas should stop demonizing the PM of Israel. The fact is Obama the Islamist is NOT king of Israel. Israel worships the GOD of Israel that gave and restored the Land of Israel to the Children of Israel. Obama wallows in the cesspool of the Muslim Brotherhood-Father of all Islamist-Jihadist Terrorism around the world. He is bad for America, Israel and the Free World. Congress needs to do its job and exercise its Impeachment Power to protect America and the world from the destructive pathway of the Trojan Horse at the WH.
13. Netanyahu well known a noxious traits
Zechariah   (03.05.15)
Netanyahu has well known a noxious traits and Obama ought be complimented by Netanyahus insults and Rudeness .In Part its a put on for some very feral people in the USA who hates someone whatever his political skills is a decent no drama Obama personality .With Clinton he also did not get on so well Clinton liked Rabin and Barak.Security Wise Netanyahu is Good because Israel is very Divided and the Islam quite feral.The Big Mistake of Islam was not to take in alot of Jews prior to WW2 not talking just Mandatory Palestine talking Turkey close and Spacious and from Turkey Lebanon Syria Iraq India Afghanistan and the Gulf states .Islam badly mutated compared to post 1492 when Ottoman Turkeytook in Tens of thousands of Jews .
14. Netanyahu need‘s a scapegoat
Rich ,   Toronto, Canada   (03.05.15)
he can blame for all of Israel‘s problems. But Obama is not running the Israeli economy which is a mess. The cost of living is high and the wages are low. If Jews can‘t live a descent life in Israel, what is there to defend?
15. To: Matt at No. 11
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.05.15)
No one takes Obama seriously. He's a boy walking around in his father's shoes. If he weren't the president of the most powerful nation in the world, it might even be funny. But it isn't. Obama will leave the presidency with his greatest "legacy" being the creation of ISIS. Not something a sane person would want on their resume.
16. Bibi wants US donor money
Mark ,   Cleveland USA   (03.06.15)
In the US today, the ruder you are to President Obama, the more campaign money you get from the richest Republican Jewish donors. Bibi want money, and to win in the upcoming Israeli elections so he can continue to live the grand life of King Bibi. Israel needs term limits.
17. He Certainly is not !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (03.06.15)
The Israeli PM is treatening The US Precident much better than He deserves. Arn.Sweden.
18. In favor of Netanyahu
Natan Fater ,   France   (03.12.15)
1/ Ayatollah (His Prophet's Voice) listens ONLY to Muhammad's World-Jihad Preaching : "Erase Tel-Aviv" 2/ President Obama visits Auschwitz -"his hands in his pockets"-
