5. Squeeze Play
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (06.06.09)
The Muslim-born 'president of the world' is trying to put the squeeze on you, Israel. The refusal to locate the US embassy in your capital Jerusalem is simply one chess piece on the board a hateful world is playing against you. That board is rapidly encircling you while you contemplate your next move. You need to pre-empt this absurd intrusion into your sovereignty. Two ways: #1, highlight the absurdity by threatening to move the Israel embassy in the US from Washington to New York or #2, announce that all embassies now located in Tel Aviv will be closed in 6 months. Temporary space will be found for those nations willing to relocate to Jerusalem until permanent structures are completed. Those unwilling will lose their espionage outposts - er - embassies - permanently. This will call the obama bluff and end forever this ridiculous chess game Madame Hillary, the Bad Cop - under instruction from the Good Cop (barack hussein obama) - is now playing.
6. NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW
Nour ,   Palestine   (06.06.09)
Violators will be hunted down and prosecuted. Obama is only respecting international law, as are all nations with regards to the unresolved status of Jerusalem. No everyone relax. The Embassy will be moved to West Jerusalem once East Jerusalem is in Palestinian hands as was envisaged since 1967.

8. Obama,Hillary, Saudi Lackeys Oil Donations
Ora ,   Canada   (06.06.09)
Both Obama and Hillary are Saudi lackeys. They both received millions in donations besides the fact that oil is their God. Read http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3727008,00.html and most of the British Crown Jewels were donated by Arab countries, as well as most of the jewelry of Princess Di, if not all
9. Tell a Fib-the Capital of Israel
(06.06.09)
The US will move its embassy in 21XX.........(don't hold your breath jews).
10. Jerusalem, how safe is it?
Markus   (06.06.09)
after today's riot any government would think twice of moving an Embassy to Jerusalem. Sort out those internal problems first -
11. Game Over
Ari-Ben Canaan   (06.06.09)
If Jerusalem is divided, Israel's status as a Jewish State is finished, i.e. we are done. If this happens my brothers, we will be wondering nomads once again. Jerusalem is ours forever! The Arabs have 22 fucking states, they don't need another!
12. american "pressures"
tom ,   toronto, canada   (06.08.09)
obama is the third american president to "defer" moving the embassy, in spite of an american law requiring the move. first bill clinton and then george bush both chose to sign 6-month deferrals and NOT move the embassy, even though goerge w/ actually made it an election promise, that he would move immediately, if he was elected. so it would seem that the arabists at the state department have more say in setting foreign policy than the president does, regardless of whether the president is "friendly" towards israel or not.
13. Jerusalem is the Capital
FAL ,   us   (06.08.09)
Since the US among other countries find it to be their option to locate their embassies wherever they please in Israel and it happens to be Tel Aviv, I feel that these countries should feel that free here in the US with their embassies. Perhaps Russia should move from DC to Brooklyn, NY, Switzerland from DC to Aspen, CO, France from DC to New Orleans, LA. , etc. Perhaps they will be more comfortable there. After all, what's fair is fair. Simply find a location you enjoy and settle in and forget about what the norm used to be or showing respect for the country.
