1. I believe Jesse Jackson speaks for Mr. Obmama
Steve ,   Fla.   (10.15.08)
Barack Obama has little use for Zionists or for Israel. Some of Obama's good friends support Israel's enemies. Reverend Jackson is right.
2. Gaffe prone? Jesse Jackson?
Ben Hur ,   Manhattan, USA   (10.15.08)
Do you at YNET actually know what Gaffe Prone means, or are you just parroting popular terms you hear in the American media?
3. Best Liar Always Wins
Marcel ,   Florida   (10.15.08)
Thats politics. Of course delusional Israel instead of looking to Hashem for help will continue to trust in the failed U.S nopeace agenda 2 state final solution. America under Obama or Cain will betray Israle as Bush has done. It's the Oil stupid. !
4. traders....
Robert ,   farmington ,wv   (10.15.08)
Any jews tha vote for this man come election time is a trader to the jewish state ,You think Bush is bad you have not seen nothing yet.!!!!!
5. Amir Taheri...
JJohnson ,   Turks & Caicos   (10.15.08)
...is not a credible source. Look him up. He has a history of lying.
6. Jackson told it as it is
Gershon Hunt ,   Wexford, ireland   (10.15.08)
BH Although The Rev Jesse Jackson is not renowned for his truthfulness (remember the spearing himself with blood, implying it was Dr Martin Luther Kings). I believe that this time he was being truthful. Obama, is no friend of Israel, and, make no mistake, he never will be. Obama is attempting to distance himself from Jacksons statement, only because he thinks it poitically astute to do so. I appeal to American Jews and to Christian Friends of Israel, to consider the consequences of voting for Barack Hussain Obama.
7. Jackson and Obama in their voyage
Brod ,   USA   (10.15.08)
They are from the same mold. They share the same proclivity. Whereas Jackson is a loose canon, Obama is a master of distancing himself from comments made by his associates that could cause him the election. Nevertheless, once in power, Obama will be sailing in Jackson's boat. The whole trick right now is to get elected by playing the good guy card. However, it does not take rocket science to figure out where they stand.
8. Let the Monkey Jackson keep repeating such gems
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (10.15.08)
B. Hussein Osama will soon find out that he is losing the Jewish vote in key states such as New York, Florida and Pennsylvania
9. How can anyone really ever understand what Jackson is saying
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (10.15.08)
I do not know what language Jackson speaks but it is certainly not English This clown sticks his nose where it doesn't belong and he always sounds like a barking hyena.
10. Jacksy the Jackal doesn't speak English, in what
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (10.15.08)
language did he apologize? How can anyone know that he really apologized if he cannot be understood?
11. Jackson speaks the truth
Jayjay ,   Israel   (10.15.08)
Any Jew that votes for Obama is a traitor to the Jewish people! The man that has been behind Obama for the last 15 years is a Dr Khaled Al Mansour, whom works directly for the King of Saudi. Its obvious what Obamas intentions are!
12. Scheunemann and puppet McCain throw hail mary
maasanova ,   Liberty, USA   (10.15.08)
Scheunemann and Zionist puppet McCain attemp a desperate hail mary by bringing Israel into debate. They know this is a dangerous move since Americans are starting to question why are we spending billions of dollars protecting Israel, going to war for them, and why there is literally no discussion of it in our media. This reeks of desparation. Americans have done a lot of learning since 9/11.
13. Hymietown Jackson and Obama
mike cato ,   USA   (10.15.08)
While Jesse Jackson speaks crudely and directly, his long-time friend Obama, who was for many years, advised by Jackson, will utter these same thoughts, but in his inimitably smooth and oily way, so that it does not sound nearly as offensive and dangerous to Jews world-wide. Jackson has almost no power to implement his ideas about "Zionists" (read Jews) while Obama will have all the power he needs.
14. Birds of a feather
Leah ,   Israel   (10.15.08)
I believe Jackson and Obama and Jackson are one and the same!
15. it is over
Obama 'supporter ,   USA   (10.15.08)
he is 14 points ahead in the polls ...it is over .. just watch him tonight crushing the M.A.V.r.i.c.k....one more time .. it is like baseball ,3 stricks are needed . nothing wrong with being even handed when it comes to the Mideast ...America in a big hole ...and you put us in it ..DO NOT PUSH THE ENVELOPE TOO MUCH this is what most americans think .. your guys (wolfowitz ,chaney ,) pushed us to the war in iraq ..to get rid of him for you .. look where is america now ..the s...t....f...up .
16. Obama - a friend of fashion
jimbob ,   Belfast, Ireland   (10.15.08)
Rev. Jesse has a point when he says that a president Obama will not automatically be a friend of Israel. No president is. They pay lip service to get the Jewish vote and then once in office expect the friendship to be earned. This is only healthy. believe me, the last thing Israel needs is a 'Christian' president who rants on about the children of Israel etc. All such a man would need is a new vision telling him the Jews killed Jesus and then you would be up s**t creek without the paddle. Far better to have a leader who depends less on his faith or his 'guts' and will continue to lend you support because it is in America's interest to do so.
17. "Ostrich Jews"
guy ,   los angeles   (10.15.08)
are the only ones who don't believe this is true---look at the other people Obama started out with---do you think they marched in any Israeli Day parades in the US??? Too often in history, Jews have seen danger staring right at them and chosen not to believe it...
18. just because he is black doesn't mean he is not racist
rachel ,   usa   (10.15.08)
I remember his comments about Jews a few years ago ....This guy does not speak for Obama just because he is black ....
19. God blesses the nations that bless Israel and the Jews.
Rivkah   (10.15.08)
I believe Obama is a closet Muslim and he intends to have a Muslim agenda if elected. What Muslim in power in the world is a friend of the Jews and Israel? Not many, if any. The Bible prophesies the consequences of the mistreatment of the Jews and Israel by the nations. Damascus will become a rubble heap. Egypt will become uninhabitable for forty years. Tyre and Zidon will suffer destruction. Gaza will see the deaths of every inhabitant. The land of the Chaldeans will become uninhabitable forever. Where is that? Traditionally, that is Iraq. But since ancient Chaldeans migrated to Italy, it might include Rome and Italy. Most of Persia's military will be destroyed along with Russia's and Libya's and Turkey's and Gomer's military when an invasion of Israel is attempted. Lastly, the Jewish Messiah will come to judge the nations for how they treated the Jews. That is the Day of God's Wrath which occurs at Armageddon. Those in God's camp will be spared that awful time when angels gather them from the four corners of the earth. The new book by John McTernon called, "As America Has Done to Israel" shows a connection between catastrophic events in America when Israel was mistreated by US policies, such as the land for peace nonsense.
20. Is this the same Jesse Jackass that
Mike ,   Jerusalem   (10.15.08)
cheated on his wife,fathered an illegitemate child and counseled B.J.Bill Clinton on sexual propriety? Is this the same Jesse Jackass that said on an open mike that he wants to cut Obama's nuts off? If not for the Zionists Jesseleh would not be able to go to Hymietown to buy his designer suits and would never know the word Pushke to use in his Operation Pushke
21. #15
Jane   (10.15.08)
Very classy. And no doubt stereotypical of many Obama supporters. That's why this 3rd gen demo is voting McCain. Choke on it.
22. Toda Rivkah
Gershon Hunt ,   Wexford, Ireland   (10.16.08)
BH #19, Well written Rivkah, thank you, it is so refreshing to read talkbacks such as yours. It is good that people remember and remind us of the promise made to Abraham, about Israel " I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you". Rivkah, you have a profound understanding of end time prophecy. Reading between the lines, I feel you may well be a born again Christian or a Messianic Jew, if so, with the belief you express in the Bible, the support you show for Israel, I would feel that whilst there are people like you,Israel will always live. If I have read you incorrectly, forgive me, but if I read you correctly then let me express the view that it is a great shame that the so called Jews in our government cannot show the same love and support for Israel. I have already appealed to American Jews and Christrian Friends to Israel not to vote for Hussain Obama, I repeat that appeal, again,again and again.
23. Jackson is an illiterate schmuck...Obama is cringing....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (10.16.08)
whenever Jackson opens his stupid mouth. This is the one who was caught on a microphone saying he wanted to cut Obama's nuts off.
24. #19 - Rivkah - will you ever shut up - you nut job??
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (10.16.08)
25. Jackson is a jealous has-been & is has no clue about Obama
Zvi   (10.16.08)
Jackson hates Obama, because Jackson is jealous of Obama's success. Jackson himself was a political failure. Jackson said on mic (when he thought he could not be heard) that he wants to "rip Obama's nuts off." Can you trust this man, this anti-Semite, Jesse Jackson, to tell you honestly what a very different man thinks? Other than the fact that both are black, the two have nothing in common. Jackson is a loser who plays NO role in Obama's campaign and will have NO role whatsoever in Obama's administration. In contrast, many talented and patriotic Jewish people are playing a role in Obama's successful campaign. I am sure that many talented and patriotic Jewish people will play roles in his administration - along with many other talented and patriotic Americans. Instead of letting a committed anti-Semite like Jackson lie to you, go and read Obama's VOTING RECORD in the Senate and note his consistent and unwavering support for the state of Israel.
26. #19 give me a break !!!! sorry , i can't go any further than
rachel ,   usa   (10.16.08)
the first line of you talkback.
27. Jesse Jackson has been barking like a mad dog for
Maxwell Smart ,   BEAUTIFUL USA   (10.15.08)
a long time, and he will go on barking forever. Jesse needs distemper shots treatment. As for Barack Obama? history should matter the most. And when it comes to history, well, what do you think amigos? my thinking is McCain and McCain only. The rest of the story you all should know.....
28. Obama Supporter #15
Brod ,   USA   (10.15.08)
No. It is not over. The Polls are misleading. They do not reveal the innermost thoughts of the vast American masses. Despite the Polls, don't be surprised to see McCain/Palin win on November 4. In my mixed neigborhood, I only see McCain/Palin posters.
29. REMEMEBER ALL THE DUMB LEFT WING JEWS WHO LOVED HIM !!!???
Andrew ,   Miami,FL   (10.16.08)
LET THIS BE A CLEAR LESSON TO THE MORON LEFT WING
30. OH BOY,
Ginette ,   Toronto, Canada   (10.16.08)
I AM GOING TO HAVE FUN WITH THIS ONE! This was no gaffe on Jackson's part. He only expressed loudly Obama’s real feelings, real ambitions, and real vision of what America would look like under his "rule". Make no mistake good People of America, the face of your country will change forever under an Obama's presidency...just like Europe, now better known as Eurobia. Yep, that's the fate awaiting you if your vote goes to him. Call me a visionary but that's no joke. You think America is in shambles? You haven't seen nothing yet. As for Israel, I am not too worried, there is a much higher power protecting her.
