1. Abbas is a terrorist and Holocaust denier, good start NObama
Zion   (07.27.08)
2. If the man was good...
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (07.27.08)
he would make sure palestinians have a state in the Arabic Peninsula or somewhere else in the ME,among their owns,and would stop this mad,sick,wicked,evil,distorted rethoric of "peace in two states",in such tiny Israel.He would talk about REAL peace among men,by,just to start, investing the huge amount of money wasted in this actual satanic theater and putting it in a worthy project ,as making feasable for palis and arabs living in Israel leave it,because they have in fact where to go;Jews don't.He would invest in a massive worldwide propaganda ,changing the actual parameters in the mind of the people into parameters of real peace. But the man seems to not be good at all,and seems to be willing not only to perpetuate the disease but make it worse,much worse,to Israel. And he is using his charisma to delude more and more the masses to endure HELL ,in all of the worst actual aspects of the world nowadays!
3. The U.S. is quite large. Give the PA California
Miriam ,   Israel   (07.27.08)
Mr. Obama, you certainly don't mean to chip off from tiny Israel.
4. How do you make sure they have a state
GZLives   (07.27.08)
when they themselves don't want it? When does it become clear that we in the west are the ones who want them to have a state while they just want blood?
5. man, he is out of touch with reality
(07.27.08)
6. In his dreams
Mike ,   Jerusalem   (07.27.08)
"According to Obama, if the US can "solve" the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, "then that will make it easier for Arab states and the Gulf States to support us when it comes to issues like Iraq and Afghanistan." The USA offered Syria many carrots and Syria still is strengthening it's ties to Iran. The US does not understand teh arab mindset. no "sugar" will help them abandon their terrorist brothers because #1 they are brothers# they are fellow Muslims #3 deep down they will never give up their dream of destroying Israel!
7. NOBAMA ! NO TO HUSSEIN BARAK OBAMA
(07.27.08)
8. Ok time out!
Jacob ,   UK   (07.27.08)
How on earth will a peace deal weaken Iran and their proxies Hamas and Hizbullah? If anything it will serve to strengthen them since they will use the lands given away as bases to lanch countless rockets and suicide bombings. And how will Obama persuade Syria to leave Iran's orbit? Syrian officials have said time and again they will not break their alliance with Iran, even if a peace deal is secured with Israel. He even goes further to say that the USA can 'solve' the conflict, yeah I'm sure they can. Just give more weapons to Abbas and his terror supporting party and force Israel to give away more land and for what? Nothing... And I thought this guy couldn't get any more dense than he already is.
9. why didn't he say this
bored ,   USA   (07.27.08)
a few days ago when he was in Jerusalem. This is the same trick from the AIPAC speech. Say to the Jews what you think they want to hear. And then once you are out of earshot, say something completely contradictory.
10. Obama
jj ,   montreal canada   (07.27.08)
Pleasenote! Tha P.A. is abottomless pitt.Through the years billions of dollars were given to them to better their lives and edjucate the people. Where is all this money? Paying for Suha's aparment and for weapons. The sooner Obama realizes this the better. Perhaps the money can be given for spesific uses only and nothing else. But to give it to Abbas it will only end up in Swiss accounts and arm dealers.
11. A Jimmy Carter clone pandering
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS USA   (07.27.08)
Barak Obama has proven his desires and wishes by his actions. He had the opportunity to shake hands with our brave wounded at Ramstein, but he preferred the accolades of the GERMAN masses in a Berlin Square dedicated to Hitler's armies; he admits to supporting the Rev Wright and Louis Farrakhan, two rather devout Jew haters and open condemners of the "white race"; he panders to the extreme left that now commands the Democratic Party; he condemns Iran one day, and wants to shake their hands the next. He is why this lifelong Democrat will be voting straight Republican for the first time.
12. Typical Leftist...Throw the Jews under the bus....
Mrlincoln ,   US   (07.27.08)
To appease the Arabs. Has he learned anything from unilateral withdrawl from Lebanon and Gaza? Both are now terror enclaves with serious weaponry, ready to slaughter Jewish civilians by the thousands with missiles. Now he wants to repeat the mistake in Judea and Samaria? NO! G-d forbid!
13. What light shines out of his,...?
Gideon Reader   (07.27.08)
Oooh! Oooh! I get it. TWO states living side by side, in PEACE and Harmony; with mutual respect for each other's religions and with safety and LOVE for all. Why did someone not think of that before all of this trouble?? Why one would think that one of the neighbors in this game is some kind of murdering, bloodlusting bunch savages who teach their kids to pray for a chance to blow themselves up in order to kill Jews(and incidently, others) or something. Huh? Wuntcha? Huh? You would'nt? Oh,
14. Imagine him leader of the greatest superpower in the world?
Baruch ,   Boston, USA   (07.28.08)
One of the most frightening thoughts ever. This man is so naive and so duplicitous that it's scary. He's nothing but a rock and roll superstar converted into a presidential candidate by a NYC advertising agency.
15. this guy has no clue..but
eddie ,   london   (07.28.08)
neither has George Bush, who first propsoed a Pali state. It will bring Iran to the borders of Israel, and a katyusha rocket away form tel aviv, or a gunshot away from west Jerusalem.
16. Obama
Rivka ,   Israel   (07.28.08)
Many people think that Obama is intelligent. Well, I don't. I also think that he will be a very weak president for the United States of American. He may have a lot of charisma, but not a lot of brains.
17. There is already a Palestinian state
Ulrich ,   Cologne, Germany   (07.28.08)
Its name is "Jordan". Now the leftists and globalists want to create at least 2 additional Palestinian states, for a total of 3 Palestinian states.
18. he needs a Bible study
augustine e johnson ,   birmingham-usa   (07.28.08)
he needs a bible study -- my bible says the whole land and even more belongs to israel - every grain of sand over there is jewish -- even a new 3rd temple - and a jewish messiah from jerusalem. ====== shalom=======augustine e johnson-usa
19. History doesn`t lie
Roberto   (07.28.08)
Does Obama remember that Jordan is about 70 % of "historic Palestine"? Why does he want to create a second Palestinian State?
20. We already prototype-Gaza!
Rafi Goodman ,   Melbourne, Australia   (07.28.08)
Are people stupid? We already have a prototype palestinian state-Gaza, thats what any Palestinian state will be like! Anarchy! does anyone want that? I don't even think the palestinians want that!
21. Obama palestinian state
David ,   N.Y. U.S.   (07.28.08)
Obama in 08 Osama in 09
22. But what about "change?"
Moriah ,   sacramento, USA   (07.28.08)
Obama's mantra so far has been "Change we can believe in." He also keeps stating that after eight years of GWB2 he, Obamessiah will bring change to the White House but his policies are no different than GWB2's when it comes to Israel -- they are the Same! All of you left leaning Jews who hate GWB2 so much need to keep that in mind. NO DIFFERENCE between Bush and Obama -- nada, zero. ZIP!
23. Peacefful two statesdoes not resolve ME dangers
Joe ,   Canada   (07.28.08)
If the next US administration under Barak Obama applies a policy of pushing for a quick two state implementation as a help to resolve all the Middle-East problems it faces, this can only mean intolerable concessions on the part of Israel's security with very unlikely benefits for US foreign affairs in the region. The heterogenous populations & unstable dictatorial regimes of moslem countries make any apparent advance towards peace treaties an illusion which will in any case be fought by the most extremist elements be it Iran, Alkaeeda, Hezbollah.... This situation is likely to last as long as petro dollars are abondant in the hands of the wrong people intent on violently imposing their intolerant way of life to the whole Middle-East
24. Arabs have no case as to the Land of Israel
Robert Bernier   (07.28.08)
Even if the Arabs will get an additional state,a "Palestinian state", the Land of Israel will still remain the Land of the Jews that was robbed by the Arabs. The entirety of Jerusalem as the entirety of the Land of Israel belongs exclusively to the entirety of the Jewish people. It belongs to our generation as well as to the future generations to come, and no one has the right and/or the legitimity to cede even one single square cm. of the city or the land. Agreements as a result of blackmail and pressure are not valid and will not change historical truth and International Legitimacy (The San Remo agreements). Mistakes done by Israeli government(s) in Anapolis or before should not be respected and should be put right immediately. Arabs have no case as to the Land of Israel, we should return to the original legitimity as described at : http://xrl.us/bjch4
25. Abbas has yet to end terrorist operations against Israel...
Robert Bernier   (07.28.08)
Abbas has yet to end terrorist operations against Israel by forces affiliated with his Fatah party. On the Palestinian front, Israeli leaders continue to embrace PA president Mahmoud Abbas as a "peace partner" and are eager to make concessions to him even as Abbas has yet to declare acceptance of the legitimacy of Israel as a Jewish state, still insists on the Palestinian "right of return," which is a formula for Israel’s dissolution, still uses the media, mosques and schools under his control to delegitimize Israel, denigrate Jews, and demand Israel’s ultimate destruction, and has yet to end terrorist operations against Israel by forces affiliated with his Fatah party. In the interests of pursuing their visions of "peace," Israeli government leaders are virtually silent about the hostile indoctrination and acts of terror emanating from Abu Mazen and his associates. But are we sure that Arabs want peace ? http://xrl.us/bmdnh
26. Jordan is the Palestinian state
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (07.28.08)
If the Hashemite tribe must have a kingdom, give them the Arabian peninsula. Give France to the Sauds.
27. I LIVE ON A BLOCK IN BROOKLYN....I WANNA PROSPER ALSO..
I AM SO DEPRESSED ,   WHO SAID NOT MINE ?   (07.28.08)
MUST BE THE JEWS SAID THAT THE BLOCK WHERE I LIVE IS NOT MINE...its gotta be the jews ITS THE JEWS FAULT.. WHAT DO YA MEAN BROOKLYN IS PART OF NEW YORK.. WHA? LIKE THE GAZA AND JUDIS AND SUMARIS IA PART OF ISRAEL? I LIVE THERE...DONT TELL ME !!! ANYONE HAVE A SUICIDE VEST TO LEND ME? A FEW EXTRA QASSAM ROCKETS ? YO OBAMA MAH MAN.. HOW ABOUT SOMETHIN' FOR DA BOYZ IN DA HOOD AFTER ALL YA DID MAKE 2.4 MILLION BUCKS LAST YEAR YEP ITS ME DACON9
28. completely disappointed in Obama
Loyal American Voter ,   USA   (07.28.08)
I'm sorry. As someone who had hoped that Obama would prove his ability to think clearly and articulate coherent positions, I've been disappointed. Obama obviously doesn't understand the essential nature of Hamas, much less Fatah. As a registered American Democrat, I just can't vote for him. His "if only we talk to each other" philosophy is definitely not in Israel's interest -- if Israel is to remain in existence.
29. Jordan is homeland of Palestinians
Great White North ,   Canada   (07.28.08)
Billions have been given to the PA when the true and just recipient should have been Jordan. Redirect all PA funding to Jordan to build homes and infrastructure for the Palestinians. Let the Palestinians return to their homeland.
30. Obama should mind his own
Great White North ,   Canada   (07.28.08)
Obama was born in Hawaii which is occupied by the USA. Perhaps he should focus on a solution on Hawaii first. Since Hawaii is under occupation, does it make Obama Hawaiian or American? One can only be a president if born in the USA.
