10 Talkbacks for this article
1. Americans want jobs, don't care what Iran does, Israel wants
Rozi ,   USA   (03.04.09)
Most Americans will not send their kids to fight Iran so that Israel can feel more secure in its occupation of Palestine. Clinton can call Bush, Rice, ... and march with Israel to Tehran.
2. Israel's interest
Brod ,   USA   (03.04.09)
should be paramount for Israel. No external powers should be imposing their will on Israel on matters that affect Israel's interest. Hillary and Obama should stop being manipulated by the dark forces to do their dirty work on Israel. Instead they should pressure the dark forces to stop crusading their Jihadism on Israel and in other countries around the world.
3. We are here to stay
david   (03.04.09)
Jews existed before Obama and they will exist after Obama. The most important thing is not to give in to the current government's pressure if or when it comes. Israel has enough friends in the States to be able to resist the disastrous policies some in the new administration would like to push Israel into.
4. Israel...
Bandar ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (03.04.09)
Keep barking. The Iranians will move forward regardless!
5. Brod, do the US national interests mean anything to you?
Persian CAT   (03.04.09)
I guess not. You seem to think the US has to sacrifice its interests for Israel. I believe the Americans call people like you traitors.
6. That all Israel knows!!!!
hakim ,   usa   (03.04.09)
And that will be her DOWNFALL!!!
7. Israel's decision
AmenOtep ,   ca canada   (03.04.09)
This article states, " Livni the secretary said that it was difficult to discuss the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gaza so long as the rocket attacks against Israel continue, however the Obama administration is expected to continue pressuring Israel on this matter." (end quote) Case closed. It's so clear, even with remarks as this, that the US is not concerned with rockets, terrorism flying into Israel. The US has one thing in mind, to pacify the Arab community because of oil and out of fear of Russia. Does one really have to explain the reasons?
8. Persian Cat #5
Brod ,   USA   (03.04.09)
Would you like to see America being manipulated by the Kurds or the Arabs to pressure Iran to give away part of its historic homeland to them? Would you like to see America doing this to other countries? No sane Americans like to see their country being fooled and manipulated by external forces to do their dirty work on other nations or countries.
9. "Israel expects"... oooooooohhhh an Israeli diktat.
Erastus CoupeDeVille ,   Ong's Hat, NJ USA   (03.04.09)
Why yes, of course, your lordliness, we will hastily stumble over our shoelaces to implement your expectations.
10. American Interests vs Shia/Iran vs Sunni Nations
vit ,   usa   (03.06.09)
FACTS NOT FANTASY: In the Mideast American military bases are located inside Sunni Nations. And, American interests lie with the Sunni Nations not Shia/Iran. America knows that it's strategic positon would erode if Shia/Iran got nukes since Shia/Iran would bully the Sunni Nations into closing our military bases. The Sunni Nations also know that Shia/Iran would force Shia Islam upon them. That said...The Sunni Nations would rather follow America than Shia/Iran. Meanwhile...Israel is uniquely positioned to help defend American interests. Facts Not Fantasy.
