1. Two topics here
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (06.08.09)
The illegal outposts will be dismantled. The legal settlements will not. They are here to stay. If the Palestinians don't like it, they are free to pack up and leave. How difficult is that to understand?
2. Exactly, Sarah from NYC. However
Jacob ,   Boston US   (06.09.09)
I am confounded by the idiocy of the media and ignorance of western leaders to call Judea being Judenrein ok. Thats what it is in effect. Jews cant freely live in Judea, or Jerusalem. Even Jesus (who by modern defintions of the politically named "west bank") was a settler, an occupying force. blah blah blah. Its a bunch of hogwash. Jews need to stick to their narrative; after all it is 4000 years older than most every one elses in the western hemisphere. The US is 233 years old, not 4000.
3. Run a parody contest for utube
Ora ,   Canada   (06.09.09)
Someone should run a contest on utube in Hebrew, English, and other languages, asking artists to prepare parodies on all the latest revelations and statements by Obama, to be linked from all the networking sites
4. WHAT LEGAL SETTLEMENT sarah ?
(06.09.09)
and why arent YOu in Israel helping the jews ?
5. Sarah, you're funny.
Noor ,   Palestine   (06.09.09)
You unsurprisingly fail to realize that the candidates of Hezbollah who ran for the 2009 elections all found themselves occupying a seat in the lebanese parliament for the first time. They didnt go back home crying. Hezbollah isn't going anywhere.
6. Sarah #1:How many 'illegal' outposts (forts) did U.S. erect?
Steve   (06.09.09)
Let's see, there was Fort Gaines, Fort Jackson (named after U.S. President Andrew Jackson; the one who forcibly removed the five civilized American Indian tribes west of the Mississippi river), Fort Marion, Fort Mims, Fortress Monroe, Fort St. Augustine, Fort St. Marks, Fort Scott, Fort Williams and many other illegal outposts. Why are you on the side of the very nation that expanded across and entire continent, stealing land and ethnically cleansing Indians and Mexicans as they went? Americans are the sons and the daughters of Manifest Destiny; the belief that the United States was "destined, even divinely ordained, to expand across the North American continent, from the Atlantic seaboard to the Pacific Ocean." Why don't you defend our right to our tiny piece of land? How can the Americans with a straight face lecture tiny Israel about our God-given land, given the American imperialist experience.
7. Little girls
Marcel ,   Florida   (06.09.09)
When it comes to learning from past mistakes Bibi is a perfect example of Israel. You don't learn. The problem started back in 1993 and Likud and Labor have refused to deal with this reality since then. It's only festered and become a bigger stinking sore. Remember, Livni is the product of the Likud Day Care Academy as were the treacherous betrayers Sharon and Olmert. They each failed the test every Jew has taken since Abraham and sold their souls to please their masters in Washington. Something Netanyahu has had experience in doing. There seems to be a sort of fantasy,delusional malaise which has taken over the leadership in Israel,the left and right. Even Netanyahu spends his time working out ways to appease the latest devil in Washington. The nation is neutered and no one can stand up to the evil Empire. It's not just Livni. Look how silent Netanyahu has been on so many of the same issues. We have a weak Livni versus a weak Netanyahu, they're both losers and bad for Israel because they desire to placate evil instead of resisting it. It's only degree which seperate the ex-Likud lady from the fake Likud Netanyahu whose compromise tells me he's already sold his soul as Sharon did for lies and worthless side agreements. There is only talk of limiting how much to surrender to the will of Israel's golden calf. There is a complete denial and ignoring of the will of Israel's God in all of this and this is why it will go bad for Israel,for Likud,for Kadima,for Labor,for everyone. You can't ignore His will and run like pre-pubescent little girls to please Obama and have a good outcome.
8. Let me be very clear
Barack Hussein Obama ,   Wash DC   (06.09.09)
We are all equal, and we must celebrate diversity -therefore we will listen to Bibi's speech - even though he is a Jew, and even though Israel is only here because of the holocaust - and that was a very bad thing. But removing girls' headscarves is also a very bad thing - so I am looking forward to hearing your Jew speech Bibi.
9. Bibi is a diplomant who does not need to make a fool of his
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (06.09.09)
opponent. o-bum-a is a stage shouting bully fool who thinks he can order the Jews around and they will jump to his command. He was very good at getting elected, he never learned how to be a "president."
10. To: No. 6
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (06.09.09)
"Why are you on the side of the very nation that expanded across and entire continent, stealing land and ethnically cleansing Indians and Mexicans as they went?" When did I ever say that I was?
11. To: No. 4
Srah ,   New York City, USA   (06.09.09)
I do live in Israel roughly half the year. Because of the credit markets crisis, I've had to postpone to August leaving the U.S. Since you asked ....
12. Bravo # 7 I agree
Ginette Golden ,   Toronto, Canada   (06.09.09)
Marcel, so far you're the one who makes the most sense in what you wrote. How badly does Israel really need the U.S. anyways? With Obama in power (and I did warn my American friends & family about him) the American landscape is changing rapidly, just like Eurobia (formerly Europe)
13. He so loves a challenge.
Gideon Reader   (06.09.09)
Yeah. Zero is looking foward to the Beebsters chat. Like a hot Lysol enema. ZerObama would rather teleprompters at 50 feet.
14. It's Simple, Steve
Chris ,   California, US   (06.09.09)
Israel, as essentially a welfare state of the United States, has to maintain corresponding obligations and we must hold them accountable to it. Doing so harms our process and yours.
15. Natanyahu's speech
Lioness ,   Israel   (06.09.09)
I, Benyamin Netanyahu born and raised a Jew who has connections to this land for over 3000 years long before Christianty and Islam came into being....................Judea and Samaria are the an integral part of the land Hashem gave to our forfathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and we will not going to give up on our eternal heritage.
16. nervous
Michael ,   Haifa   (06.09.09)
I get the impression from the right-wing talkbackers here that they are getting slightly nervous. If I am wrong, then maybe they should start to get a little nervous.
17. #14, yawn
Danny   (06.09.09)
I am sure you have heard this far too many times already.. aid to Israel is less than 2% of Israeli GDP, can only be used on US arms, most is credits not cash, and the only people on welfare are the US arms manufacturers. But hey why lets facts get in the way right?
18. #1 Hit and Run
Nour ,   Palestine   (06.09.09)
How convenient of you to commit another hit and run in the other article TB. Oh well I take it you've given up on your rhetoric. Regarding the settlements darling: The main colonies (Ariel, etc.) were once illegal outposts. They were erected illegaly and in contravention to Article 49. Due to above the settlers, all of them, will either show us their backs or swear allegiance to the State of Palestine. Fhemti walla la?
19. Netanyahu Is Pissing In His Pants
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (06.09.09)
A gutless sham as Israeli Prime Minister.Even Olmert was a hundred times better than Nothingyahu.
20. BIBI PLEASE REMEMBER
Alfred LORD TENNYSON ,   Safed Israel   (06.13.09)
As far as your Master Obama is concerned:Theirs not to make reply,theirs not to reason why,theirs but to do and die.
