be quiet
2. Put a sock in it, Obama
USA   (08.25.08)
You haven't got a clue what you're talking about. When you should have learning what's going on in this world so you could become president, you spent 2 years in Congress voting present. You're a nightmare will send this world in a tailspin if your uninformed trendy minions put you in office. What are you going to do about Russia, Obama? Better go check with your 300 foreign policy advisors. PS: The US Government won't be able to afford to keep you in the amount of foreign policy advisors that you need to function, so maybe we ought to just let McCain, who's been serving his country for over 30 years, handle it, you think?
3. Don't be naive, this is just elections B.S.
Guy   (08.25.08)
Hussein Obama and his gang of terrorists, US, Israel and Jews haters will be aq disaster for the USA and Israel.
4. Say no to Barak Hussein Obama! Vote McCain.
Avraham ,   NYC   (08.25.08)
5. Obama for President
GZLives   (08.25.08)
Stop the BS friends. I have no doubt McCain respects Israel - mostly as a result of the great reputation we used to have when we had real leadership. McCain would change in a heartbeat whereas Obama has the real intellect to understand the problems. the reality ie Islamic fascism that most of us can no longer pretend doesn't exist. Obama gets it. and Biden certainly gets it. America needs a pragmatic leader and that's Obama. No one can ever accuse me of being soft or naive. I'm voting for Obama because a strong and smart America is good for Israel. Obama / Biden is all that and more.
6. He's going to sell U.S. Jews a bridge
Suncountry ,   U.S.   (08.25.08)
Don't let the Obama people fool you. Obama will throw Israel to the wolves. He leaves his own brother in the mud, so Jews in the Dem party (most Jews in the U.S., unfortunately) will have to cover their eyes and vote for Obama, as their Dem addiction dictates. Look at his actions, not his hot air words. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/barackobama/2590614/Barack-Obamas-lost-brother-found-in-Kenya.html
7. Talk is SOOOOO cheap
Suncountry ,   U.S.   (08.25.08)
Obama also neglected to honor promises of ongoing support he made to a Kenyan school. Unethical grandstanding. He will not back Israel, no matter what he says. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23520981-details/Barack+Obama%27s+broken+promise+to+African+village/article.do
8. AND WHAT HAS THE WORLD DONE SO FAR?
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (08.25.08)
Obama's goal is to give Iran more to complete their weapons of mass destruction program by which time it will be too late for Israel, Middle East oil fields and the world. Obama is acting in sync with Iran's genocidal leaders
9. That's exactly #4 what I have planned doing long ago
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (08.25.08)
For the first time in my lifetime I will use my right to participate in the American presidential elections and it will not be for Obama. I do this because of the mortal danger that Obama represents not only for Israel but also for USA and the world
10. Obama postureing before his followers.
David Powell ,   Everett, Wa. USA   (08.25.08)
He will be coronated on Thursday before 75,000 in a stadium separate from the convention.
11. Israel is not the 51st State! Obama, leave us alone.
Antonio ,   Haifa   (08.25.08)
Mind your campaign business and American business. We should not be your campaign issue. If and when the time comes, we'll deal with bilateral relationships by proper political means. Other than that, stay out of our country, our politics, and get out of the fake peace process!
12. GZLives #5 Obama
Johnny ,   Stockholm Sweden   (08.26.08)
I always read your posts, I like your clear sight and understanding of islamic fundamentalism. I was a bit surprised you are pro Obama. Myself I'm not sure, but I found your liking of Obama interesting. Well, maybe after all he is the right man. He being a former muslim, now gone christian, maybe he really knows and despice islamism for real. If so he will be the president who will call islam something else than "the religion of peace", which it isn't.
13. #5 most of the time
eytan ,   rishon   (08.26.08)
I read the words you write and agree most of the time. This time you are so misinformed it is almost scary. You seemed like you have your finger on the issues but when it comes to econmics and infrastructure for the future of the US he is more then irresponsible he is a moron and so is biden. Inform yourself and stop with the gut feel bull.
14. VOTE McCAIN!!!
Sandy   (08.26.08)
15. What Obama needs to understand is that
Avi   (08.26.08)
if he should become the president of the US, he will need to be MAKING decisions. In other words, the buck stops with the US. The US is the country that will need to set the tone and the example for any actions against Iran. If it doesn't take action, few if any other countries will. Israel would be able to deal with Iran, but it must be strong and steadfast if it should do so unilaterally. It would be no doubt a bumpy ride ahead-both in terms of relations with its neighbors and externally. Internally, it needs to remember what the common goal is, and that's to keep itself as a separate country It can't afford to lose sight of that goal.
16. "Friend" of Jews while running for office, look out.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (08.26.08)
17. This talker isn't going to doa damn thing.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (08.26.08)
Except talk and talk and talk....But he wants that Jewish vote. Then he will forget about it.
18. #12, Get Real
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (08.26.08)
Obama - born Muslim, member for 20 years of an Islamic sympathizing black supremacist church, one which funded Hamas and published glowing tributes to Louis Farrakhan. Barack Hussein Obama, friend of domestic terrorists William Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn, who looked away from the flag and clasped his hands when other Americans held them to their hearts during a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, whose elitism is determined to punish success and enterprise in the US while allowing his own brother to live in squalor in Kenya...you think he's a friend of Israel and the right choice for America?? Guess again!
19. IDIOT!!! The would has been talking to Iran for 5 yrs.Enough
talk now. Bomb the ,   hell out of them!   (08.26.08)
20. Obama and Iran -"Yawn"
DT ,   Tel Aviv   (08.26.08)
Just another waste of time. The only pressure is a military strike
21. is it because he is Sunni
(08.26.08)
22. Who wants A Muslim president for USA??? NO WAY!
JAyyy ,   Israel   (08.26.08)
As if a muslim like Obama would help ISrael.....yeah,,,,right!
23. Action Now in Obama-speak
Hunt S. Cross ,   England   (08.26.08)
.....means direct negotiations without preconditions, while Joe Biden is known to have a soft record on Iran in Congress. Maybe worse, still. Obama's foreign policy advisers have included the notoriously anti-Israel McPeak and Baker, so pressure on Israel could be a sweetener for Iran "without preconditions".
24. We should not wait : tomorrow it might be too late.
Robert Bernier   (08.26.08)
A nuclear Iran has become an increasingly contentious issue as Ahmadinejad will not have any moral consideration keeping him from using the atomic bomb. A preventive strike against a declared genocidal Iran, will be a severe blow to world terrorism and will reduce significantly our problems with the terrorist state of Syria, the Hizbullah and Hamas. It will also remove the threat of a nuclear missile attack on Europe, Russia, China and India. The population in the West, as well as in the other peace loving countries will feel safer again.
