This development just shows how difficult our position is. Israelis want just to be let to live in piece, on a small square of land, but the oil thirsty West has to bow to the Arab mob, and is hurting Israel, but not only. See the European Capitals - almost all of them are on the way in the 1400th century. The only hope Israel has is that the movement in Netherlands gets to the main street. All free nations shell fight, not the peaceful, but the radical Islam. This is true for America too, which is loosing the war not at the battle fields, but at home, where it is depriving it's own citizens from freedoms it once represented. There, they should sell less guns, and more books instead. Greetings, from USA/Germany

Kol Hakavod Moshe Dann, I agree with every word!

I HATE YOU THAN YOU HATE ME YOU HATE ME THAN I HATE YOU OR WE BOTH HATE EACHOTHER AT SAME TIME :) *** LETS FROZEN ALL HATES. and lets talk about peace. Amerika must establish free Palestine must. MUST. understand. UNDERSTAND IT PLEASE.

just kidding :) no one needs any blessing from others but The God (c.c). to pray for good heals. anyway. its late in the morning now. Ynet ! I am okay these days, right ?

it is about time that israel see the writing on the wall. it is also about time that israel show some of it's pride in right to existence.

Every time the US or any other entity messes with our security and our right to Jerusalem, it weakens them and brings them unimaginable trouble. Look at the mess the UK is today - look at Bush and Katrina. So bring it on, Obozo - if your true purpose is to end US dominance, this is the way to go about it.

How much worse off, another year of Obama’s foreign-policy incompetence will leave the Middle East ? The “progressive” and “humanitarian” forces of the West have helped make real democratic and social reform unnecessary for the Arabic-speaking world and delivered it into decades more of violence, dictatorship, repression, stagnation, and failure – and improvement is not in sight : http://xrl.us/bgq7vp

This has to be THE stupidest article published on Ynet this year (I'm talking since last September), and the competition is really stiff. Israel's behavior as of late has been shortsighted, irrational and (self-)destructive. We are sleepwalking into a one-state solution, which will be the death of our Homeland. This is just one example of a moronic decision whose effect is only to creat a new reality on the ground, which would make peace that much more difficult to achieve, even if we had a serious partner on the other side. To aver that "love and loyalty" mean supporting Israel regardless of what the likes of Yishai, Lieverman and even Netanyahu (who's more intelligent than the former two put together) is to understand neither love nor loyalty. It's the same as those 7aredi inbreds trashing Jerusalem to secure the release of a pedofile because, her, we LOVE him and are LOYAL to him. Israel's best hope for survival right now is tough love. The U.S. must kick this government in its six and tell it to stop acting like a vindictive spoiled brat.

We will now begin to see what Netanyahoo is made of. Will he cower and jeopardise Israel's future or will he call a spade a spade? It is interesting how the US seems to be fighting the PA's battle while Abbas sits and watches, while naming squares in honour of Jew murdering compatriots. Has the US governments totally lost the plot? In these crazy times evrything is possible. Let's hope Netanyahoo will stand up to this bullying by stating some home truths to this new US government!

This is all a punishment for Mr. N. for "agreeing to" the "two-state" solution. Now that this is behind us, Mr. Netanyahu can retract his support for the two-state solution and move forward in building a single Jewish state on all the Land of Israel.

THIS US GOVERNMENT, IS ANTIJEWISH AND HATERS OFJEHOVAH AND ISRAELS HERITAGE. GO TO HELL WITH THIS US OF AMERICA !!!. THE ISRAELI PM IS PLAYING THE HARLOT WITH THIS ANTIJUDAISM. Arn.

Indeed, it is a blessing in disguise. The Palestinians do not want peace, the Arabs do not want peace and the US government is the most inimical towards Israel since the times of John Foster Dulles. Obama will be a one-term President but he is intent to destroy the special relationship with Israel at any cost. Mr Dann's comment is particularly appropriate concerning the PA's decision to name a square after a terrorist that killed 37 . We hear no reprimand from Mrs. Biden and Obama or Mrs. Clinton. Hopefully, PM Netanyahu will show the strenth that we would have expected from Gral. Sharon.

Despite Obama’s doubtful support for the Jewish people and (post election) publicly acknowledged deep sympathy for islam , a great many ordinary citizens of the USA support, admire and even love Israel. A land in which the Jewish people lived more than 3000 years ago. East, West, North, and even South Jerusalem are Jewish. Let someone come up with a deed in which the Jewish people sold or gave away the land and temples to the invading Mohammedans. Stand your ground, everybody has a copy of Israel’s deed to that land in their home, the bible.

In what world does this writer think what happened last week is a display of Israeli strength and US coming out of the closet of hatred? It was a display of utter stupidity that the Israeli government should inflame the few friends you have left. Don't think you need friends, well think again. At some point your country must come to an agreement with your enemies and only then if the other side breaks it in any way should you take confrontational steps. The Israeli government and ultra right-wing people are politcally immature to the point of stupidity. If some consessions do bring peace, they are worth the lives of people who are sick of this idiocy. I know the concept that the "other side"only understands strength, but with every apology you issue for every stupid blunder, you look weaker not stronger.

then I vote for taking my tax dollars back home to improve education, fund retraining for unemployed, develop green technology and jobs- yeah - that stuff. So, if you want to, turn down the weapons stuff and aircraft parts, the loans, as well as the $30 B in aid over next 10 years. The average U.S. taxpayer is spending $19/per year for the next 10 years to hear you wish for the right to self-determination and defense. You can't have it both ways.

Those faithful to Jewish independence refuse to be bound by foreign judgment. Time has come to downgrade our relations with USA.

witout the support of US Israil can not move ahead. Israil should recognise the reality. if not the whole world will oppose. What is the need of constructing housing in the disputing areas?

The reality is that the US is in a rapid state of political, social, and economic collapse. The leaders of the US are frantic in their efforts to try to keep the Titanic from going under and to keep people on the ship. It's easy to blame Israel for its independent stance - to divert attention away from the failure of the US, itself, as a nation that is really populated by several nations of people. In this light, Israel would do well to say goodbye to the so-called 'special relationship' that never really was and chart its own course.

The anti-Israeli Talkbackers such as 48, 41, 27 and 24 ignore facts to condemn Moshe Dann. Question 1: Why didn't Clinton and Biden complain about Fatah honoring an Arab terrorist on the day Biden was visiting? Question 2 to #24: What can you tell us about Obama's spiritual mentor Reverend Wright?

1) Hussein Obama is an Extremist Muslim 2) He wants an Islamic America. 3) he is allowing Iran to get the Bomb, and then threaten America. 4) he wants to prevent israel and Saudi from attacking Iran. 5) Ahmadinejad has said "Oobamas" he is with us. This isn't just a scholastic play on words. Everyone knows that sanctions won't do a thing to stop Iran.

Kudos to the author and to Ynet for publishing the truth. When U.S. presidents turn against Israel, they are beset by scandals and political difficulties. Look at how things have turned for Obama since he first attacked Israel's sovereignty over Jerusalem. When Israeli prime ministers turn against Jewish sovereignty over Eretz Yisrael, they are beset by scandals and political difficulties. It is the pattern. Obama's heart will be hardened. Let's hope Bibi, this time, learns from history.

there is only one way to reply to this comment: blablabla

The characterization "Obama's closet hatred of Israel" is baseless slander. The vast majority of American Jews are liberal and democrat and we love our President and trust him to protect Israel. Israelis should rely on our knowledge of American politics before jumping to wild and destructive conclusions.

The Obami have revealed their anti-Israel ,pro-radical Islam agenda..One knew it was there , but did not expect it to surface as clearly as it did..So much the better. It is best to know who your enemies are lest they mask as allies.
