1. US Sanctions against Israel- not yet !
DT ,   TA Israel   (07.24.09)
And a great pity ! Israel needs to plan for it and not depend on the US for it's security as that is a recipe for disaster.
2. YOU WILL FAIL !!!.
ORAO STRANKA. ,   TSARIGRAD U SRBIA.   (07.24.09)
"What we're trying to do," he continued, "is to create an environment which makes it conducive for talks to go forward." YOU COULD EVEN TALK YOUR JAWS OUT OF JOINT, AND IT WILL NOT HELP, GOD IS NOT ON YOUR SIDE !!!. ISRAEL SHOULD NOT PAY THE PRIZE , FOR YOUR ERRING EFFORTS IN PUTTING UP DEMANDS FOR TALK. IF THE PALESTINIANS AND SYRIANS AND ARABS WILL NOT TALK BEFORE DEMANDS IS MET, LET THE GO TO HELL. TURN YOUR WAYS AND SUPPORT ISRAEL IN HER MILITARY PREPARATIONS, WAR IS COMMING SOON. YOU WILL BE A LOSER IN ANY WAY, BUT THROW YOUR WEIGHT WHERE IT COUNTS ON THE GOD AND RIGHT SIDE. BYE JERK !!!. Orao.
3. Methinks he doth protest too much
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (07.24.09)
The fact that the Americans keep denying it is proof that they are planning to impose sanctions on Israel. It makes sense. The only way for Obama to succeed is if the price of oil stays low for the next three years. The Saudis have told him that they will keep the price of oil low if he destroys Israel. In the calculation between his career and some dead Jews, Obama's choice is clear.
4. Who the 'f' does he think he is???
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (07.24.09)
And who does he think we are??? He can't get tougj with Iran or North Korea so he'd 'get tough' with us???? Go to hell.
5. The US is not an ally
steve from raleigh   (07.24.09)
They are an economic arrangement. As long as their aid goes back to the US to pay American companies and American salaries they are happy. Israel should terminate the F-35 agreement immediately.
6. HOW ARE YOU CHAYA ?
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (07.24.09)

7. I just hope they will sanction Israeli Gvt....
Gregg ,   Haifa, IL   (07.24.09)
Mr Obama... .go until the end your politics. Rightists only understand when it comes to money... Make them swallow their ego please.
8. A waste of time all the peace Bla, bla, Why ?
AlbertoGA ,   St. George, USA   (07.24.09)
The Arabs want at the end the total destruction of Israel...nothing less. Obama is not interested in the survival of Israel. Then all the Bla, blah is just a waste of time.
9. What will it take for Israel to honor the Roadmap?
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, USA   (07.24.09)
Obama seems determined to get both Israel and Palestians back on the Roadmap. The Palestians must get there house in order which will not be easy, they have ask for stop of settlements to restart peace which is call for under phase one of the Roadmap.
10. Who cares? Sanctions are a 2 way street.
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem Israel   (07.24.09)
And America already doesn't like it when we sell our technology to their competitors.
11. Meanwhile...Obama's approval has fallen below 50%...
vit ,   usa   (07.24.09)

12. The USA won't initiate a resalution but won't veto one eithe
Bill Staar ,   Chicago USA   (07.24.09)
The United states will not be the one to initiate a security council resolution for sanctions on Israel, but if Russia, or France, or some other country does the USA will not veto it. we are in no position to do so. The entire world is watching, and if we were to veto a resolution every one would doubt our sincerity about being fair, and even handed. The president would simply have to say I told so, and that would be the end of it. Don't put us in this position, it's not something anyone wants to see happen, but we have painted ourselves into a corner, and have no choice but to vote in favor.
13. Republican are at 23% so Obama is still doing good
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, USA   (07.24.09)
The economy and unemployment have people mad at everyone in D.C. The lobbist are spending alot to stop healthcare reform. If costs are lowered then someone will lose ALOT of money, like insurances, hospitals and doctor/nurses. They are going to milk it like the real estate loans until it crashes.
14. Sanctions Against Israel
Pat Carmeli ,   Cazenovia New York   (07.25.09)
As a taxpaying American, I am asking my government: What are you waiting for? We have testimony from Israeli soldiers that Israel committed atrocities in Gaza. Now, Israel is debating restricting the Arab populations rights to honor their dead and grieve their losses of the Nakba. If we won't sanction Israel now as an incentive to force them to honor Palestinian human rights, who are we to criticize any government in the world?
