The Obama administration isn't interested in helping Israel to secure the lives of its citizens. It is perfectly willing to pretend away the Arab violence against Israel. Whether motivated by naivete, an overarching desire for international peace conferences, a plan to align US foreign policy with that of Europe, or hostility towards Israel, that fact that Mitchell can talk about peace when the Palestinians have just declared war makes clear that the Obama administration is uninterested in playing a constructive role in quelling the violence. It certainly isn't interested in helping Israel to secure the lives of its citizens. Should Israel be worried ? Consult : http://xrl.us/bfs9yb

It is not at all clear that a professional committee of the Interior Ministry made it's decision on the basis a directive from Yishai? But then why let facts cloud the issue.

obama is such a blow hard and a liar at that. This whole dispute was pre-wired by obama after Yishai made the unfortunate gaffe. But, as Danny Begin said- if it happened 2 weeks ago or 2 weeks from now the obama-drama, self-built would be the same. With the Hurva synagogue, I didn't hear a word negative from the obama administraion

i think Obama in good position now

There was a time I didnt undestand all those who hate the USA - today its different : the arrogance of the US government is the reason for the global hate against the USA ! The US administration must have lost its mind - how else can they interfere in everybodys business ? They lost their mind , surely ! What comes next is clear as well : arrogance causes defeat ! The days of the USA as a superpower are numbered. Millions around the globe are watching closely this countdown ! How tragical - zhey knew better !

"what we’ve said is we need both sides to take steps to make sure that we can rebuild trust" - we need to get the 3 steps / demands made of the Pals splashed about in the media too. Where are they? Under his trousers along with Abbas? We already know the 3 demands made of Israel. Certainly, those are not hidden.

It would seem that the main obstacle to peace is Israel. That is - the very existence of Israel! Why do our leaders continue to believe that the Arabs want peace? They don't. They want Israel to disappear, then they can have peace.

Obama, when he stood for the election in the USA, we are the one who made sure that he get to sit on the chair. Obama has forgotten who has been his friends. Now he say we cant build houses for our own children on our own land. Face the fact Yisarel, OBAMA AND GANG making the 1600 houses as a political issue to retain the position. We all know, the POLITICS OF SANCTIONS over Iran. THE AMERICANS AND THE RUSSIANS WANT TO START THE ARMS RACE of THE 70's. YES ! FREINDS DISAGREE, PERSONS WHO TRY TO REDUCE THE SELF-ESTEEM OF THE ISRALIS ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS ! ON MATTERS CONCERNING THE JEWISH INTEREST, ALL PARTIES IN ISRAELI SHOULD NOT EVER SHOW INDIFFRENCE. THE PUBLIC INTEREST OF THE ISRAELI PEOPLE MUST BE THE CENTRAL HALLMARK OF THE NATION ISRAELI AND HER BORDERS AN HER PEOPLE! BENJAMIN NETHANYAHU- IS THE ELECTED PM OF ISRAELI A SUBJECT OF THE REALITY ABOVE. TO BENJAMIN NETANYAHU : BENJAMIN, I AM SAYING THIS THINGS, BASED ON THE VERY POSITION OF SINGAPORE TOOK WHEN MALAYSIA WAS ARM TWISTING US OVER MANY NATIONAL ISSUE- EXAMPLE THE WATER CRISIS. TERRITORIAL CRISIS AND ETC. I WOULD NOT ELOBRATE ON THIS ISSUES. BUT WE IN SINGAPORE DIDNOT COMPROMISE WITH MALAYSIA. YOU MAY CHECK OUR HISTORY OF SINGAPORE FROM DAY ONE OF THE CONTITUITION OF SINGAPORE. IF WE CAN DO IT, SO CAN THE ISRAELI PEOPLE . IN SINGAPORE , WE ARE ALL FIRST SINGAPOREANS, WE DONT WANT TO BE DIFFRENTIATED AS, MINORITY OR MAJORITY OR RACE POLITICS ! THE 1600 HOUSES ARE OUR OWN BUSINESS NOT EVEN OBAMA HAS A SAY IN IT ! MR. BENJAMIN NETHANYAHU - IF YOU LET US DOWN, FORM YOU CHAIR ( WHICH I BELIVE YOU WOULD NOT)- PLEASE RESIGN ! ABOUT IRAN- THE WORLD PEACE ISSUE- BUT IT SHOULD NOT MAKE INNOCENT IRANIANS SUFFER. IRAN IS THE THREAT TO THE MIDDLE EASTEN COUNTRIES. THE CRISIS IS ENERGY MARKET/ FUEL RELATED. THE HOME BUILDING IN ISRAEL AND THIS IRAN CRISIS IS TWO SEPARATE ISSUE ! WE CAN REMAIN FRIENDS AND DISAGREE ON THE HOUSING OF MY CHILDREN- BUT DONT TELL US WHAT AND HOW WE TAKE CARE OF OUR CHILDREN OF YISRAEL ! YOU OBAMA ARE AN XTIAN- YOU WONT UNDRESTAND OUR JEWISH NEEDS !

President Obama is not a divine creature. He is just one of the worst American presidents ever. We should not adorate him, since he will be judged in the same category with the former President Carter. Jews survived the Pharaoes, Roman emperors and Inquisitiion. We'll survive the current US administration as well. They should be the ones to worry how the history is going to judge them.

trust the man's words, not before. The crisis was over after Netanyahu apologized in his name and that of the Israeli government, an apology the Vice President accepted and they were already moving on. But a day later, at Obama's instruction Clinton set the relations with Israel on fire once again. And in doing so, neither Obama nor Clinton had anything, anything at all to say about the naming of Dallal Mughrabi square, for instance or regarding any other violations of understandings with and demands of the Arabs, none! Israel came out from Clinton's words as the party not interested in peace and in direct negotiations towards them, which of course was contrary to reality, as Clinton and Obama knew very well. The person who need to be honest at this point is Obama. He should come out and state: I am the one who caused the delay in the peace process and I apologize for this. Before he does so, I'll have no trust in him!

Jews are not building in Jerusalem and the West Bank to provoke or colonize or expand. They are building there because this is the biblical land of Israel. In the absence of any indication by the Palestinians and other Arabs that they will accept the Jewish state then Jews will continue to build their country. Obama and his advisers will not bully religious and nationalistic Jews into their Arab appeasement program.

It could not be clearer that Obama will do absolutely nothing to stop the Mad Mullahs from building nuclear bombs. It is also clear the "peace process" represents as great a danger to Israel as Iranian nukes. The terror state, it is intended to create, would render Israel indefensible and ultimately uninhabitable. Israel has two priorities. Destroy Iran's nukes and massively settle Judea and Samaria.

I guarantee the US rep won't be arriving 90 minutes late for dinner with Abbas or Fayyad, won't subject them to a 43 minute harange by Clinton, and won't summon the PA rep in DC for a dressing down by the Undersecretary for the ME at State.

This guy has some chutzpah.

o-BUM-a has failed at everything he has touched except getting his wife pregnant and most anyone can do that.

write what you want. say what you want. now we know the true "picture" of the man in the WH. He hates Israel, Israelis, Jews - am surprirsed that he has hired Emanuel and Axelrod - or that's probably to "shade" his REAL HATENESS. The man is a Muslim by birth, by heart and NOTHING will change that. He is dangerious. Not he or a member of his government spoke to Iran as the way he spoke to and about ISRAEL JEWS in AMERICA and around the WORLD. The man and his followers are dangerous. He wants to eliminate us from the world. WE said about arafat - once a terrorist always a terrorist. About Obama - his hatred and disgust for Israel is ir-reversable. I hope and pray that he is NOT re-elected. The man is a danger to the entire free world. Whatever law brings him down (health care etc) - will be a blessing in disguise. To the Jews in American and around the world - we MADE a BIG mistake when we voted for him We wanted CHANGE.........but far from this change. He is a shrewd/clever/sick/dangerous man. Unfortunately there is no world leader aroung that can be "above" him. His secretary of state THE MRS. Clinton is also not her husband and she is happy to make the remarks she made/maKes.

we need you to get on your knees and beg for forgivness , to show the world whose boss here ......

... while the US/EU claim to be at war (Iraq/Afghan) with the same terrorist they demand set up a state on the West Bank/Gaza. One can only conclude that the US/EU soldiers are in fact human sacrifice to the Islime G-d and that this war is in fact a phoney “nice Long lasting War and sell lots of weapons” exactly as I informed every member of congress between 1989-1991. c 1991 getty… We send army men to die fighting people; while we demand that that same enemy/people set up a terror state on the West Bank and Gaza exactly like the States we are fighting/human sacrifice...this is "bazaar… The US: with friends like this who needs enemies...

I belive there is a certain honor amongst thiefs, and heading the shas party im sure he knows many. Time for Yishai the child deporter to be fired and leave politics to those who know what they are doing. Yishai clerly demomstrates that religion and politics are not the best of bed fellows.

so it appears that Yishai is fall guy. real friends do not react and attack so quickly and then attack further in public on every news show. the USA is responsible for emboldening rioters and violence in jerusalem and this is unacceptable and deserves appology to Israel and strong explanation to American people of why Israel has legal and moral right to build in Jerusalem.

1/4 of the cities homes down and making a park. They have some of the cheapest homes in the United States and are in fairly good condition for $50,000.00 thousand dollars. Obama needs some new taxpayers. Tell him to grab as many of these Palestinians as he wants if he cares about their plight so much. Obama can put his money where his mouth is. We can't get enough people to fill all the vacant homes in the United States.

whom he has attempted to humiliate since the day he entered the Oval Office, but to the entire public in Israel because attempting to humiliate our prime minister is an insult upon all of us. Only if and when Obama - and Clinton - apologize to us, Jews, for the way they have described us, will we forgive them. And as for forgetting, NEVER!!!

for the incitement to riots? Has he asked the PA leaders to erase the name of Dalal Mugrabi, the mass murderer who slaughtered 36 Jews on a bus in Israel, from the square they named after her? Of course, Obama didn't say a word, not a single word! The US President, I am afraid, is a true anti-Semite, despite his calming words.

Israel ought to rethink its relationship to the United States. Obama is NO friend.

It was emmanuel and axelrod that "hired" the street thug from Chicago" and not the other way around.

With this kind of friends who needs enemy's?
