1. Barak's "close ally" stabs in the back
bernard ross ,   st ans bay jamaica   (03.28.10)
this is the time to cease all negotiations, order NGO's and UN out of Israel and end US training of jew killers in west bank . Israel could raise the 3B US blood money from Jews if they cease contributing to others charities and contribute to Israel instead. Israel needs real independence. Next: seize saudi oilfields for real Independence.

political career. Amazing how extremism fire back on idiots.Lieberman to Moldova for his previous job ,some Russian gangnster will meet him over there for sure.
3. Surely........
Ram ,   London   (03.28.10)
depending how the US votes will finally give us a clear answer as to whether all the rumours are true or false.
4. USA may abstain
(03.28.10)
big deal
5. No matter how much you press this issue
(03.28.10)
Both Americans and Israelis are friends, we share many common interests and it is going to remain that way no matter what you try to depict.
6. :: US To Abstain
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (03.28.10)
Well it would come as no surprise to anyone if the US did abstain after Israel’s disgracefully behavior of late. Clearly Obama can take Israel down a peg or two and Israel can do absolutely nothing about it except whine and moan. In fact Obama will probably take Israel to task anyway just to prove a point ie: as a client state Israel should be more cooperative towards US demands. If the US does abstain on any upcoming vote Israel will *only have itself to blame* as it has done nothing but obstruct Obama’s Peace Plan.
7. friends
alexi   (03.28.10)
barak can try to sweet talk this one and bibi can do his diplomatic language but they don't obscure that obama is propalestinian having embraced the narrative of kalidi who he was intimate family and professorial friends with at the University of chicage. That is his right, you cannot force him to be proisraeli. And to judge lots of jews in america who have been spoiled by obsessive parents and grandparents shaped by the holocaust, obama would not have gotten a good impression of many jews. israelis are a different matter and most of them are salt of the earth because they defend their piece of earth. I invite readers to watch kalidi interviewed by charlie rose. You see he is educated by he talks in classic arab conspiratorial crap and moreover does not admit that arab terror is ingrained and praised within arab society. Throughout all of this, israei history is denied. So israel, do yourself a favor, plan for the day that US is n o longer an ally and secure your supplies in all areas.
8. The United States of Arabia
Morris ,   USA   (03.28.10)
The USA stands for something different than it has for its first 200+ years. Now after 1/20/09, it stands for unwavering support of the fascist world of Islam and fully against the decency of democratic Israel. It has virtually declared war on the Jewish state. Israel should recall its US ambassador and order all US diplomats and military out of Israel and PA areas -- until Hussain Obama is voted out or impeached.
9. They should vote for it
Giora Me'ir ,   USA   (03.28.10)
Enough is enough. The current Israeli government is only interested in the "Greater Israel" project. It shouldn't be allowed to get away with it without consequences.
10. #4 ,Yes it is big deal.America has been covering your ass
Sami ,   Lebanon   (03.28.10)
for 60 years so far by voting and vetoing against all UN resolutions condemning Israel. I imagine if this "stupid deal for you"wasn't there ,where your lovely Israel was at this time. Jew never been thankful for the hand that feed them.
11. Congress should impeach
Brod ,   USA   (03.28.10)
Congress should impeach Hussien if he sabotages Israel at the UN. This is not the way America's administration should be treating a friend and ally. Jerusalem belongs to Israel since ancient time. Why is Obama trying to help the Islamist-Jihadist usurpers in their demands? Congress should be informed of this and get them to stop Obama messing up with America's relationship with with Israel-the only Democracy in a a region infested by Islamist-Jihadist tyrants, dictators and terrorists.
12. That should cement Obama's stamp on relationship
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (03.28.10)
be-Reishit 12.3.
13. THE FUTURE IS WITH CHINA !!!
ISRAELI ,   HAIFA   (03.28.10)
GOD BLESS ISRAEL!
14. Obama will stab Israel.
TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI   (03.28.10)
I agree with number 1. Now Israel must tell Obama to go to hell and to cease all negotiations and to speed buiding in our capital city of JERUSALEM.The city of our Kings SOLOMON & DAVID
15. To obstain is is like saying, yes we agree
Eyal ,   USA   (03.28.10)
World but we don't want to say it in front of Israel.
16. Obama should not boost his rating at the
Vardina   (03.28.10)
expense of Israel's national interests. Jerusalem is our united capital and Obama has no say in this matter.
17. Israel have no problem with AMERICA
TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI   (03.28.10)
or the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Israel have problem with the Obama administration,thats all. May G d keep blessing AMERICA.
18. Only the Beginning
George ,   Myrtle Beach, SC   (03.28.10)
How long does Netanyahu think it will be before the UN is authorizing troops to the green line to protect the Palestinians? It is time to forcefully remove the settlers and this is the ONLY way to do it. It is the only way to save Israel from certain civil war.
19. #5- I SERIOUSLY DONT THINK SO.
America ,   The Beautiful   (03.28.10)
Usa is tired opf the drain and burden that is the hypocritical state of Israel. By association with Israel, USA looks bad. Obama is a strong and intelligent man. he is calling a spade and spade. USA and ISRAELs affair is for the most part toast. LONG TIME COMING, if you ask me.
20. US may abstain in vote on Jerusalem
Spencer ,   Israel   (03.28.10)
It may well be the the American people are friends of Israel but I have my doubts about Presiden Barak HUSSEIN Obama and the US aministration. If the US abtains that will show Obama's true colours.
21. Obama only pushes more Israelis to the right. way to go.
(03.29.10)
this president has no brain. he only makes things worse.
22. liam.biran@gmail.com
Liam Biran ,   United States   (03.28.10)
Go for it USA! We do not need to hang out with Israel anymore, time to find new friends. Preferably ones that won't influence us to cut off our foreskins. JEEZ, how about we make Papa New Guinea our new best friends, they look pretty cool on the Animal Planet
23. The US SHOULD abstain
Marcos ,   Massachusetts, USA   (03.29.10)
Like many thousands of other American Jews I hope that the US will abstain if a resolution on east Jerusalem is introduced in the UN Security Council. In my view Israel has become a moral tragedy for the Jews and the main source of anti-Semitism in the world today.
24. This gives the lie to Axelrod
(03.29.10)
25. #6 Let me explain to you something
Shiran ,   IL   (03.28.10)
Over here, In Israel, we learned a great lesson over our history. That lesson is that we cannot trust anyone except ourselves to do what is right for our country. We are a small nation that over it's short existence overcame more hurdles than any other nation in the world. Believe me, we can take care of ourselves. Happy Passover.
26. The Ist Commandment
Marcel ,   Florida   (03.29.10)
!.You shall have no other God's before Me. Israel has made a god out of the U.S. for too long,running to it for a fake peace. He is now removing this stumbling block so that ISRAEL can look to Him alone .
27. # 6
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.29.10)
Omaba's peace plan is for America, not for the good of Israel. Quit the "client state" crap will you. Economically Israel is doing 100 times better than your country.
28. # 7
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.29.10)
Alexi, Israel is cleaverer than you think. Israel now knows who her real friends are. (Good post)
29. So What!!!
James ,   Herzeliya   (03.29.10)
Maybe this is the best thing that can happen for Israel. Time to downgrade this false relations. The Us can't even get a concensus on Iran.. its going to do it to Israel in the UN. ROFLMAO. The UN should demand the immediate withdrawel of US troops from Iraq and Afganistan. The UN should appoint Goldstone to investigate the genocide in Iraq and Afaganistan for killing innocent women and children by American troops. Its good for starters and good ridince to US and its aid. Let them subsidize their own arms industry using another banana republic.
30. So many nations would befriend Israel, if given the chance.
Paul ,   Jerusalem   (03.29.10)
Give them a chance. America is a dying culture, and empire. When America betrays Israel's Holy destiny, we will see how long and fast they will hit bottom. This is not a threat, it is natural law.
