61. we learned we can not trust the democratic left, carter, bak
ralph   (03.15.10)
baker, now obama and his leftist jews. not the leftist jews in israel who weaken israel.
62. Brilliant column. Wretchedness of Obama fully exposed.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.15.10)
Brilliant column by Moshe Dann like usual. It is far better to face an enemy you know than one who pretends to be a friend. The wretchedness of Obama is fully exposed. Not only in the foreign policy era. Obama's anti-democratic moves on his health care program, opposed by a large majority of Americans, expose him as a domestic danger as well. The midterm election aren't far off and Obama will soon become a lame duck president till he is, mercifully, gone. Meanwhile, the majority of Americans are favourable towards Israel and Israel should work to build ties with our many American friends. The Obama administration is a temporary abberration.
63. "A blessing in disguise"

A TRULY GREAT ARTICLE! Thank you.

The Arabs have announced that they have no intention of living in peace with us. In fact their avowed goal is to finish what the Germans started. They have no legal claim to any of the land west of the Jordan. I challenge anybody in the entire world to present a single legal claim, I know that it doesn't exist. We told the world that Jerusalem is not up of sale at any price and the US is supporting terrorists in their attempt to steal our lands. Don't like it - too bad. We refuse to die for US Imperialism.
65. Real Issue Is Iran
TSB ,   Clifton   (03.15.10)
With all the talk about what a great 'friend" the U.S. is to Israel, the reality is that the U.S. has gone totally soft on Iran. It's all talk, talk, talk, and before you know it that country will have nuclear weapons aimed at wiping out Israel. Stopping a nuclear Iran, not $3 Billion a year, is how the U.S. can show its true friendship. The money Israel can do without.
66. To Chaim: Will Another 911 Wake US Up?
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (03.15.10)
I told you so. I am a proud Jew who voted for McCain/Palin., but most Jews didnt follow suit. Can anyone imagine Palin admonishing Bibi over 1600 planned units? I mean come on. We have 250,000 troops protecting one Muslim against another in Iraq and Afghanistan, paid for by the Chinese, yet Hillary says nothing. Maliki is a loser, his govt is in shambles. Pakistan is only fighting their insurgents and Al Qaeda has 100 bearded 18 year olds in Afghan. For this, we are spending 200b year. Why? Islamic-fascism is winning this battle, with jerks like those in Washington. Another 911, you bet..of course the Jews and Israel will be blamed again. They killed 3,000 Americans and another 4500 in Muslim wars against the West and civilization. Yet we scold little Israel? Hey Obama, ask yourself, why is Israel in Jerusalem, the W. Bank and Golan Hts? You launch a war, you pay the price if you lose. Had they won, we would not now be talking. To my fellow Jews: better switch (to Republicans) than fight this one. No more money to the Democratic do-gooders. Hey Obama, hows about No. Korea and Iran, what about them guys?
67. Read # 53
Jaacov Baumann   (03.16.10)
68. Agreed
Kathy Chriqui ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (03.16.10)
I couldn't agree more with this opinion. And isn't it strange that Mrs. Clinton now has the clear tone of an arab in her voice - " . . . a deliberate attempt to humiliate the United States?" I don't think the USA gets humiliated! Good article!
69. Kishen, what's wrong with ovaries?
Kathy Chriqui ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (03.16.10)
Once again, please tell me #9 (Kishen), what's wrong with ovaries? You got to luv 'em!
70. Israel, do not be bamboozled by Obama.
Gabi ,   Los Angeles, USA   (03.16.10)
The writer is absolutely correct, spot on target. Obama is not and never will be, a friend to Israel, his Muslim birthright will not allow it. Israel please do not allow yourselves to be bamboozled by this man.
71. obama the arab
marcia lewis ,   miami florida u.s   (03.16.10)
come on his name is hussein. i sure didn't vote for him. even the goyish church he went to waswith hatred from the minister. the same one that married him. relax this is his first and last term.hillary turned out to be a big disappontment. buden is and always was a buffoon. obama can't even get his own party to back his crazy schemes.
72. USA operates by the Constitution not by politicians
sam ,   USA   (03.16.10)
Govt. breaking U.S. laws must be removed
73. #66 Dav. Agreed. Jews should dump the Democrats NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.16.10)
Dav, you did the right thing by voting for McCain/Palin. It is a mystery to me why so many Jews continue to shower the incompetent and hostile Democrats with money and votes. Obama is particularly bad, even for the Democrats. Virtually every other demographic is turning against Obama. Obama is polling some of the lowest favourable numbers Gallup has ever seen for a president entering his second year in office. Jews should dump the Democrats NOW!
74. #26 Israel must totally end the sick policy of concessions.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.16.10)
#26 You are correct. Obama, like the Arabs, and like all bullies become increasingly aggressive when they smell fear. By meekly submitting to the disgusting, racist Judea/Samaria settlement freeze, Bibi signalled he is scared of Obama. Obama, a laughingstock in most of the world, loves bullying the one world leader afraid of him. That is why Obama keeps escalating his outrageous demands against Israel. The answer is obvious. Israel must totally end the sick policy of making concessions.
75. No Obama hatred of Israel
Eugene Graczyk ,   Sausalito, CA USA   (03.16.10)
Another cheap and unsubstantiated attack on the AMerican President from the far Israeli right. The writer here fails to recognize the very real harm his position does to AMerican support for Israel, already weakened by the increasing disdain shown for large segments of AMerican Jewry by Israel. Reform and Conservative American Jews should continue to support Israel while being told they are not really Jews. A one state solution must be the only solution because--the Haredim would have it so. Lose the rest of the world and be friendless, dear friend, if you choose. Do not blame us. You bring it upon yourselves, day by day.
76. Settlements
Andrew Shafer ,   Seattle WA USA   (03.17.10)
Israel's latest slap in the face of the United States will do nothing to advance your selfish interests. While my ancestors were jewish, I am first and foremost, an American. By announcing new settlements while our Vice President and Secretary of State were on state visits to Israel, you have shown your disrespect for the only real friend you have in this world. As a very active Democrat, I will do what I can to urge my party to reconsider US policy toward Israel. May God punish you by taking your first born.
77. Moshe's Ignorance is His Bliss
David Silberberg ,   Brooklyn, USA   (03.17.10)
Your writings are shameful filth and intellectually bankrupt. Bibi is so bad, it's like he's working for Hamas.
78. obama
ken hubert ,   mt vernon,mo. usa   (03.17.10)
stick to your guns and hang on.obama aint gonna be around much longer
79. #76
israeli ,   israel   (03.17.10)
You are an absolute disgrace. And be careful what you wish me, for it may be visited on you first.
80. harold@gorge.net
harold Bagnall ,   United States   (03.17.10)
If Obama is not a closet Muslim, then he is the next closest thing to one. With his upbringing and country he was raised in, by his stepfather, I am sure he is not, nor ever will be a friend of Israel's ! Don't let his "party" tell you how to run your country, they are too busy running the USA into the ground. Remember who the "chosen people" are. With Him on your side, you have nothing to worry about ! I am a U.S. Christian
81. 24
Rosie   (03.19.10)
"You clearly have no idea about the character of our President. We American Jews trust and love him, he is one of us. You need to get over your bigotry," This is EXACTLY what German Jews said in early and middle 30s.
82. 54
Rosie   (03.19.10)
Question 3 and what about his Muslim upbringing?
83. 59
Rosie   (03.19.10)
"The vast majority of American Jews are liberal and democrat and we love our President and trust him to protect Israel" Didn't liberal and democrat German Jews trust Gremany and The German Law to protect them? History is a NASTY thing, isn't it?
84. 80
Rosie   (03.19.10)
Itotally agree with you, but HE didn't seem to be on our side during The Hollocaust.
85. response to article on Hard Heart
chana rowan ,   Phoenix, AZ USA   (04.04.10)
I was emailed a good article on the topic of Obama's hard heart. I wrote a follow up for Moshe Dann, taking the question further, and wanted to know how I can send my response to Moshe Dan. Please let me know. Thanks! Chana
