1. These people aren't even sane.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (01.23.09)
Obama should have sent a psychiatric team .........
2. Good
Shalom   (01.23.09)
Let's hope that Obama does indeed become a true friend of Israel
3. National Security, Free Masons, BASE, and Real Choice
Eric Hands ,   Long Beach, CA   (01.23.09)

4. Unfrotunate for Obama? No unfortunate for Israel...
Lior ,   Israel   (01.23.09)
For the more Arab countries make their litanies of verbal threats the more pressure Israel gets. Believe you me, if anyone thought Condi Rice was tough and unfair (which she was) George Mitchell will be worse. He as much as said THERE WILL BE NO PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST UNTIL PALESTINIAN STATEHOOD. The whole of the ME peace is because of us!!!!!!!!! The side line of safety for Israel means nothing. Oh boy.......Israel watch out. In the mean time, the Kurds still suffer and NO ONE TALKS ABOUT A STATE FOR THEM. Matter of fact the continual slaughter of the Kurds makes barely a bleep on the screen. Always remember, this BS of giving the pooor Palestinians statehood has nothing to do with them but everything to do with the Jewish question.
5. In order to soothe the savage beasts......
Ari ,   Haifa   (01.23.09)
Israel will once again be used and abused in order to make nice to them. We see Hamas telling the whole truth as to how they feel and for that Israel will be called upon to make more and more concessions. As for Abbas and Fatah, they feel the same way except they proclaim it in Arabic and for Western consumption they pepper it with talk of peace. One way or another, we pay the price.
6. Peace
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.23.09)
Obama will soon realize who & what Hamas represent. Until Hamas recognizes Israel there will never be a chance of peace in this region.
7. Osama hamdan is right
Jihadists are funny   (01.23.09)
the only way to achieve peace is to fire rockets into Israel. Or in other words Obama should destroy Israel to achieve world peace.
8. pres obama, meet hamas
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (01.23.09)
please excuse the mess of a state they are living in - they just got their tails kicked up and down the strip just now and the place is a mess. not that it wasn't a sewer before the said thumping, but hey? what do you expect from a bunch of idiots who can't decide if they were (boo-hoo) unjustly abused or if they are the miraculous heroes of the divine thrashing? yes president obama, this is really the way they are and, yes, they are not normal. they live in an alternate reality and are quite happy there. who wouldn't be, seeing that it's a place where you can be a pedophile, murderer, rapist, thief, occupier, whatever and still be considered a pious and respected muslim. they are insane, no doubt about it. enjoy dealing with them.
9. That is why...
Juan ,   Spain   (01.23.09)
...we DO NOT and SHOULD NOT be talking to or appeasing Islamic terrorists. However, logically speaking, peace means no rockets does it not? Maybe peace, to Hamas, means just 2 or 3 rockets a day.
10. LEARN QURAN
ilana   (01.23.09)
I am reading it- unbelievable: The Quran calls for hatred, violence, submission, murder, and terrorism. The Quran calls for Muslims to kill and terrorize non-Muslims , to fulfil their duty to wage war: violent jihad. Jihad is a duty for every Muslim, Islam is to rule the world - by the sword. The Quran is clearly anti-Semitic, describing Jews as monkeys and pigs. It is against Bedouins and christians as well. It says "Do not be friends with Jews and Christians"
11. THE HONEY MOON WITH OBAMA ENDS SOON.
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (01.23.09)
THAN WE SEE WHAT IS WHAT. WHO IS WHO. TODAY ! WHAT WE FACE ARE NOT DAILY ISSUES. NOT EVEN TENS OF YEARS ISSUES. SO ! TO LOOK FOR SOLUTION OF TODAYS FACTS WILL TAKE MUCH THAN CENTRUIES. OBAMA IS GOOD OR OBAMA IS A TRAP. FOR YOU OR FOR US OR FOR ALL WORLD ! the point should be WHAT WE CARRY IN OUR HEARTS ! AND HOW MUCH WE ARE SERIOUS WHAT WE BELIEVE IN. *** people sell leaders so easly. SO EASLY. IT JUTS TAKE TIME. *** lets try to see THE BIG PHOTO. THANKS THE GOD THAT : WE ALL SEE WHAT PROBLEMS WORLD HAS TODAY. we know how to solve it too. but we all need to be in unity. TO BE IN UNITY FOR ALL COLORS. WHEN A JEW WONT JOIN IN THE UNITY FOR GOODNESS OF WORLD ! THAT UNITY WONT BE STRONG. its hard to be in unity FOR ALL COLORS. every idea will live until the last day. your ideas. our ideas. what was the subject by the way ?
12. Peace is possible.....
Franklin ,   Paris   (01.23.09)
BUT SYRIA AND IRAN ARE USING THEIR PUPPETS AND HUMANSHIELDS TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS AGAINST ISRAEL AND THE MODERATE ARABS CONTRIES..... Palestinians are only pawns....but they ignore it by fanatism and strong propaganda
13. Hamas?
Miriam ,   Canada   (01.23.09)
why are Hamas and other Extremist allowed to threaten people, and when a sane Westerner talks about peace they call it wrong ? This kind of double-standard is so typical of Islamofascist . They threaten whole countries, call jihads on innocent people- all in the name of.... the devil!
14. who is in need of progress?
ISRAELI FREE THINKER   (01.23.09)
hamas agenda hasn't changed since bush left the office. they are still shooting rockets & still call for total annihilation of the state of israel. it is not acceptable in this day and age. hamas frame of mind is in need of progress, not the US. hamas people are victims of their innability to reach out to israel that supplied them with electricity and water, in ways other then citizen security violations, theirs & of israel .
15. #10 Ilana. When you finish reading ....
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (01.23.09)
Continue on with the Hadith & Sharía - it only gets worse the more you read. By the time you start reading the works of various Islamic scholars, you will be totally in a state of shock.
16. #11 the subject was your change of heart
israeli free thinker   (01.23.09)
from calling for the annihilation of israel, now you call for world peace. if there is hope for you, there must be hope for the rest of us. your message was kind of festive, g-d is in the small details. lets hope you shall maintain the views that a jewish state is necessary in the great scheme of events in the ME .
17. SACRIFICING ISRAEL FOR JIHAD WILL BRING TOTAL DESTRUCTION
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED   (01.23.09)
UPON THE WORLD!
18. Of course Obama's mucking around in the ME will tank.
Cameron ,   USA   (01.23.09)
The very nature & dynamics of the region ensure it. Credit these malevolent, ding-dong Islamic groups, and even the funk Atilla above, for simply acknowledging & speaking a blunt truth. The fantasy yearnings & escapism of Liberals merely whip-up & encourage an undying pathology. The Gaza & Mumbai affairs are simply indicators of what is, unavoidably, rolling down the pike. Strap in, 'cause its gonna be one helluva ride.
19. HEY YNET!!!
secede Texas & Okla. ,   from socialist USSA!   (01.23.09)
Hey Ynet! Get with the program! Obama gave a speech yesterday declaring Israel should OPEN ALL BORDER CROSSINGS WITH GAZA! (Where is your story on that?) Of course, he also said it all should be "monitored" be "interdiction services" to stop smuggling to re-arm Hamas. Hahaha! Yeah, right! Just like Lebanon, eh?
20. Terry!!
Ilana   (01.23.09)
Oh no!! I didn't know there was more and worse!! It is awful-how can a real religion be like this? I must be totally naive...I will finish and then read those. Good for you that you read all this. Others should,too. Thanks
21. in Obama ,we trust
attal ,   paris france   (01.23.09)
israel defense and offensive capability strictly regulated by Obama , change is that before Bush supported Israel without any restriction and at any time. Will the new Obama policy look to some extend to the french arab policy ( before Sarkozy) claiming support to Israel existence but blaming Israel at any occasion... Israel in any case must adapt itself according to: better and tigher relation with Arab moderate governements, freeze of implantations , achievement of the anti-terror wall, re visitation of arab israelian statut, local manufacturing of tsahal equipment: improvement of israel diplomacy: many issues to adress before it will be too late.
