31. Hussein Obama will not be re-elected
F. ,   Belgium   (03.14.10)
Will not be re-elected in 2012. The way Husseuin and his administration has handled this 'incident' will proof to be fatal.
32. Jewish State
Non Jew   (03.14.10)
Arabs and Muslims must first recognise Israel as Jewish State before any talks for peace
33. what east jerusalem?
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (03.14.10)
Ramot Shlomo is in Jerusalem proper not the east bank. There are 50,000 Jews living there now!! Lets not believe everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
34. #32
Jane   (03.14.10)
Amen
35. Axelrod is a Judas
Brod ,   USA   (03.14.10)
Axelrod is totally wrong and a Judas to the Jewish nation. He has sold his soul to the AntiSemite world that is working in tandem with the Islamist-Jihadist world. Jerusalem belongs to Israel since ancient time. It is the eternal and indivisible capital-city of Israel. Only Pagans would be supporting the Islamist-Jihadist Pagans in usurping Jerusalem from Israel. It is time to stop the crap. Israel should continue to build and build in its own capital and not allowl external entities to be meddling in its internal affairs. Enough of the stupidity and kissing-Islamist/Jihadist crap of the Obama administration. Enough of Obama crusading Islamist-Jihadism on Israel Israel can tell Axelrod and his Associates to go to Hell!
36. Correction: ARAB VIOLENCE hinders peace
Noah ,   Israel   (03.14.10)
Stop calling the victim guilty for the attackers violent behavior.
37. The Biden case is an excuse for Obama's eagerness to...
Eitan ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.14.10)
...humiliate Israel and its democratically elected leaders so as to advance his/America's status in the Muslim-Arab world. The Jew in society once again must pay for the advancement for the non-Jew, Israel being a substitute for yesteryear's Jew in society. For "progressive" Obama to take such a position is nothing short of disgusting!!!
38. An attempt by Biden to save the falling Obama Admin
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.14.10)
Israel said Jerusalem was not on the table. The U.S. obviously did not listen, does not care about Israel Independence or Historical rights, and therefore did the absolute best thing for it preservation. Showing a smiling face to a 'friend' all set to screw you, will not work here. You can rest assured that if Biden was here, and the migrant Arab workers referred to as Palestians are willing to enter into talks, it is because the U.S. promised to deliver concessions from Israel.
39. Israel needs to strongly reject the Two State Final Solution
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.14.10)
The games will continue as long as we pretend we want a new terror state in the heart of our sole tiny Homeland. If Israel wanted such an abomination, Labor and Meretz would be elected to govern our land. Instead these two pathetic Two State Final Solution parties were decimated in the election. Recent polls show they'd be further trounced in an election today. The Israeli electorate strongly rejects the monstrous Two State Final Solution. It's time our government took our decision to Obama. Most Americans are far friendlier towards Israel than the Obama administration, which is about as popular as the proverbial skunk at a garden party.
40. Be careful Mr Obama
Neil Turner ,   Watford, UK   (03.14.10)
It's a while since I've commented, but had to say something here Jerusalem has been a Jewish city for 3000 years. How dare Obama tell Israel what It can and can't do here. The prophet Zechariah tells how Jerusalem will be a heavy stone to the nations. All who tamper with her will be bruised Watch the news and see what God will do. The US is playing a dangerous game with God As a Christian, what I am seeing is the intensification of hatred and prejudice not only against Israel and the Jews, but also the (true) Church. To the people of Israel I say that there are many Christians who support and pray for you Israel, the Lord is with you, and He will watch over you as a hen watches over her chicks
41. Axelrod, say what you mean. Excl the 2nd and 3rd word
rebecca ,   Modiin   (03.14.10)
42. “I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who
obama hussein = ,   enemy   (03.14.10)
“I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you.” Genesis 12:3
43. :: Eitan - #37 - time to swallow your pill
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (03.14.10)
Obama doesn’t need an ‘excuse’ to humiliate Israel as Israel is quite capable and has a long history of humiliating and embarrassing itself not to mention shooting itself in the foot on a near weekly basis. Eitan’s sentiments are no different from other pro-Israeli wingnuts who can’t take responsibility for Israel’s own action, such wingnuts are always trying to blame someone else – if it is not the Americans it is the Arabs/Palestinians or Iranians. Such a culture of blame is really pathetic. This latest rollicking that Israel is taking is your own fault so cowboy up and take some responsibility for a change. Israel has yet again proven that it cannot be trusted as it continues to undermine the US peace plan, Israel is no friend of the US - if anything Israel is a millstone around Obama’s neck and there is no way that Obama is going to let Israel drag him down. I dare say in the next week or so we will see Israel backpeddling on these new 1,600 housing units in the Palestinian future capital of E Jerusalem. I would also bet we see some major grovelling to the US during the same time. Feel free to vent your hate and disgust at Obama but the simple fact is that no amount of hate and disgust will change US policy in the ME nor Obama’s insistence that Israel tow the line.
44. G-d Bless Yisrael
Mark ,   USA   (03.14.10)
Yisrael is a sovereign Nation , you have every right to build any where they so desire , am a fervent defender of Yisrael , and The nations of The world need to be reminded , Gen 12: 3And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you] and [a]curse him who curses or uses insolent language toward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed [and by you they will bless themselves
45. hussein obama ,a much bigger threat to his own country
chaim schonbrun ,   brooklyn ny   (03.14.10)
this extreme marxist muslim jihadist,is a much bigger threat to his own country than to Israel,why Bibi does not tell this traitorous marxist to mind his own business is beyond me
46. there is a difference
HS ,   BRKLYN NY   (03.14.10)
thereis a difference between settlements near ramallah and Ramat Shlomo ---a suberb of main Jerusalem. They don't believe that we'll give back the high hill from which the Jordainains fired into Ramat Eshkol and Sanhedriah , do they? I've been to the Yeshiva in Ramat Shlomo --it's part and parcelof Jerusalem...doesn't everyone agree that the immediate suburbs of jerusalem are not part of these discussions? is this just another attempt to dissassemble a religious neighborhood. Stop it please.
47. Intended insult
Christian ,   Sweden   (03.14.10)
The US administration has chosen the untimely announcement of the 1600 new apartments as a timely opportunity to bring down the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanjahu and to replace it with a center-left government. Washington stresses its displeasure with Jerusalem by refusing to treat PM Netanjahu with the usual diplomatic courtesy. The message is clear with him in power the traditional "friendship" between Israel and U.S. ( read the Obama administration) is in danger. Now it is up to the citizens of Israel if they will accept to be treated as a Bananarepublic
48. caught in a bad romance.
lady gaga ,   israel   (03.14.10)
49. Obama and Iran Perfect Together
Dan ,   USA   (03.14.10)
50. double standard
art ,   jersey city   (03.14.10)
Not a word from Obama about abbas incitement and calls for a holy war on the Temple Mount. abbas has incited riots and attacks on Jews at the Kotel where were Obama hillary axelrod biden then. abbas calls for a celebration of the murderers of the Coast Road killings no comment from Obama. Time to open your eyes Obama is ANTI ISRAEL. No matter what Israel does it will be condemned. anyone notice Obama has abandoned oslo wye roadmap and adopted saudi plan
51. G-d bless Yisrael!
Mike Jones ,   United States   (03.15.10)
Genesis 12:2-3 I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great ~ and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you ~ and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.
52. take part in a political quiz (no joke!!!)
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.15.10)
Please answer the following question: start How many Jews will vote in the November election for the gang of Hussein Obama a) a lot * b)a few* c) none *if You have choosen a) or b), You are probably mentally retarded and therefore not entitled to take part in the quiz - go back to start
