1. Surrending sovereignty
Frank ,   Canada   (06.07.09)
The so-called nationalist Right is surrending Israel's sovereignty. This is not acceptable. Israel must refuse this American blackmail. The US have no reason to meddle into Israeli affairs.
2. How Many Countries Can Obama Ruin????
Karen USA/Australia ,   Australia   (06.07.09)
Look what Obama has done to my beloved USA, but I guess it's not enough he wants to destroy Israel as well. We give aid to many countries, other than Israel who do we demand to set policy??? ISRAEL STOP TAKING THE US DOLLAR IT'S GOING TO BE WORTHLESS AND STAND UP AND DECIDE YOUR OWN POLICY. Obama has kissed our enemy and insulted our allies.
3. america out of israel!
yair ,   il   (06.07.09)
this is insanity. mind your own business. take your welfare checks and shove it. we survived in the past without you, we can again. g-d bless the lovers of israel that remain the usa.
4. Pressure invites more Pressure!
Jewish Refugee   (06.07.09)
Cave in into one pressure and here will come another one.
5. Nice trick Israel !!! But Obama is much smarter than that
(06.07.09)
for he will not accept such cheap tricks . So try another one ! :)
6. DISGUSTING !
BEN ,   SINGAPORE   (06.07.09)
7. Ynet: Why not be fully factual?
George ,   Toronto, Canada   (06.07.09)
Weisglas' statement was confirmed by Elliott Abrams, past Deputy National Security Adviser to President Bush. Mrs Clinton did not "dismiss" this, but said that even if such understanding existed, since it was not part of the US official position because it was not part of the official "protocol". Based on this position let's see if from now on anyone will trust the USA if the US wants an oral agreement. For sure Israel should not.
8. Who Made Obama Prime Minister of Israel???
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (06.07.09)
DECEITFULLY called the Arab/Israeli conflict, it's Global Jihad against Israel and the Free World. Israeli leaders must NOT abdicate their responsibility to protect Israel and the Free World! Has America, UK and Europe decided to surrender half of their countries and capitals to Islamo Fascist supremacists? With many no-go Muslim areas in the UK, Europe, Israel and India where it is too dangerous for non-Muslims to enter - we are neither safe or free. This extremely grave situation must be confronted and dealt with! Instead, Leftist Western leaders demand Israel surrender to implacable enemies bent on Jewish genocide. It is utterly despicable and evil.
9. HIGHLY FAVORED Muslims Allowed to Break the Law!
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (06.07.09)
57 Muslim countries. 22 HUGE, OIL-WEALTHY Arab countries. More than enough oil money and land for PA Muslims! One tiny, global jihad embattled Jewish state-not enough room for Jews There NEVER was an Arab country of Palestine. Jerusalem was NEVER the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the Jewish Bible, not once in the Koran. Muslims have built tens of thousands of ILLEGAL buildings and settlements in Jerusalem and other locations! The vicious ethnic cleansing of 10,000 Gaza Jews violated Article 80 of the United Nations Charter, broke Israel's Basic Human Rights Law and Clause 9 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Serving US/EU/Totalitarian Colonizing Islam, Israeli leaders Destroyed Jewish Human Rights-patriotic Jews, including children, have been evicted, brutally beaten and jailed. For the Sole UNJUST REASON Jews are NOT MUSLIM, US/EU Demand ethnic Jew Cleansing from Judea-Samaria, Golan, Jerusalem and building/settlement freeze. Will New York, Paris and London be next?
10. Suckers
Eli   (06.07.09)
What is the ponit to any agreement with anyone either the palistiens or the Americans if once a new adninstration comes in they can say we don't care what the previous adminstartion agreed to We gave away gaza the USA agreed that we can build now the USA says NO you can't? So now we are out more land and we still have nothing
11. Moment Of Truth
Rick ,   USA   (06.07.09)
The United States has sold you out, the EU has sold you out, and you yourself are considering acts of national suicide. No country likes Israel or the Jews-unless they are dead or inhaling Xyclon B. Do you stand up and defend the Jewish people and the state-or do you continue eating crap sandwiches and allow a UN flag over the home of the Jews. It is destiny.
12. Who put him in charge?
Chrisona ,   Chicago   (06.07.09)
Who's this, King George I? "Mitchell is expected to build a more permanent base for himself in the region, one that will allow him to monitor the building in the settlements and dismantling of the illegal outposts in the West Bank." And is an Israeli official going to act in a similar capacity in the United States? Maybe Israel should just kick the United States out of its business.
13. Wrath of G-d
Ron ,   Jamestown, USA   (06.07.09)
Bush and Sharon agreed to Gaza, Katrina hit America, Sharon had a stroke. If this deal ever happens, we haven't seen nothing yet.
14. why pressure israel? Seize saudi oilfields
Bernard Ross ,   st anns bay, jamaica   (06.07.09)
Obama needs to dismember israel and feed her to arabs for appeasement because his policies are a failure everywhere; so when in doubt screw the jews. The opportunity is to leave the peace process entirely as there has never been a peace partner. give only peace for peace, this means becoming warlike, hostile, aggressive and umnpredictable a kingd of israeli north korea. Israel would fare much better on this path whereby she operates only from self interest. She has to maintain a high military anyway so why not use it to advantage. No one, including the uS will take on israel militarily. they would try to starve her with sanctions; therefore seize others assets(eg saudi oilfields) .
15. Hahahaha..the beginning of the end!
Edithann ,   USA   (06.07.09)
It's about time! TATA
16. Banana republic of Israel in the making.
leo ,   USA   (06.07.09)
17. Hussein needs to keep his nose in Obamerica!
yeiel   (06.07.09)
18. #1 The US have all reasons...
Realist   (06.07.09)
since Israel is meddling into Palestinian affairs vfia its settlement policies.
19. #1, Frank: It's rather surrendering a piece of occupation
Gil-bama   (06.07.09)
Nothing wrong with that. Except for the Greater Israel dreamers, whose blood is probably boiling by now, everyone, (rest of world and most Israelis as far as I know) will be happy.
20. cut off aid
edward ,   las vegas   (06.07.09)
i don't want another dime of my tax dollars going to these vicious, disgusting settlers.
21. Soon we will need to fight US here in Israel like the Irgun
Shlomo W ,   RBS   (06.07.09)
The Irgun went to war with the British and kicked them out,
22. Israel should develop weapons with Russia, China, India
ar   (06.07.09)
Joint Russian-Israeli defense projects will produce cheaper and better weapons then what the American defense industries could offer.
23. U.S.- Israeli Team to Monitor Settlements
Nikos Retsos ,   U.S.A.   (06.07.09)
Why should the U.S. assign a team to watch - along with a team selected by Mr. Lieberman- Jewish settlements built on the West Bank Palestninian land? To be an on-the-spot partner in crime? Or to share the blame and the wrath of the Arab world? Nikos Retsos, retired professor
24. Settlements
Marilyn ,   USA   (06.07.09)
I'm not sure if the US government understands the settlements and I can't say that I do either. It is like through good behavoir that governments grant people more freedom and land. When hear about some of the settlers getting into trouble on a regular basis, it's just logical to put on the brakes.
25. Bibi dont fear Anerican blackmail
Lioness ,   Israel   (06.07.09)
Bibi, you have G-d on your side. You have our deeds to this land in our Torah and the Christian Bible. Bibi you must do everything to stop another Palestinian state that will endanger our lives here in Israel. We do not want to become like the people of Sderot with rockets falling on our heads. Besides that we have one Jewish State how man Moslem and Arab states are there? There is NO need for another one.
26. Yankees GO HOME!!!
Eli ,   Haifa   (06.07.09)
27. GAME OVER
Palestinian   (06.07.09)
28. CRUCIAL MISTAKE
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (06.07.09)
One of the most crucial mistakes made by secular Zionism, is their flawed historic claims on the land of Israel. They mostly relate to Herzl and to the Holocaust as the big causes for the reestablishment of our country. What they forget to mention is, that the first real estate transaction ever recorded in history, is in the Torah by Abraham buying the cave of the Patriarchs and the surrounding lands, were all our main ancestors are buried. Also purchases of land are recorded by Yaakov of buying land around Schem (now occupied and called Nablus) and the lands of Jerusalem. This all happened way before there was any Arabs or Islam religion. Of course I could mention Hashem’s repeated promises to all our ancestors regarding possession of this land. The main problem with what I write is , that many among us deny the Torah and its implications and therefore hashem. This is nothing new under the sun and has been the cause of many of our bloody pages written in our long history as a people and nation. What our leaders fail to recognize is that alliances come and go, based on interests and leaders who do not like us very much. Based on this fact new alliances can be created. To be frightened and to treat this current alliance as our only reason to existence is another failure of our modern day Israelis, who are drifting around spineless and clueless, because of their lack of foundation rooted in our historical and religious claims of our land here. As long as they fail to correct this major flaw, we will not be at peace here ever, so Tsuvah and Emunah, are our main weapons against this flaw and weakness, this being so we will not cease or desist our struggle and will outlive and triumph over anyone who denies our basic rights to our land.
29. Settlements and the USA stand
Spencer ,   Israel   (06.07.09)
Hilary Clinton should never be trusted. She's proven herself to be anti Israel on more that one ocassion. As for Hussein Obama, he should should remember that if he keeps kissing ass, hell eventually eat sh*t!
30. JEWISH Refugees Must be Compensated in LAND & Finances!
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (06.07.09)
Around, and after 1948, one million Jews suffered VIOLENT religious Jew cleansing from Arab countries. Arab governments seized the land, farms, homes, hospitals, schools, businesses and bank accounts of the Jews. Most Jewish refugees fled to Israel where the religious terror war against Jews NEVER stops. Cruel Global war is fought to subjugate all humanity under merciless Islamic sharia law where defenseless non-Muslims have NO human rights-it is unacceptable to Islamics for Jews to have self-rule in TINY Israel. The 1948 Jewish refugees and their descendants who make up about half of Israel's Jewish citizens MUST be compensated in land and finances! See: http://www.theforgottenrefugees.com/
