I've been hearing this for "months".
2. MrSarkozy-mind your own business !
Jaacov Baumann   (03.31.10)
As much as a like you - you shouldnt stick your nose in things that are not yours ! You should know better, that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the jewish nation and that the socalled occupied westbank is the heartland of the jewish nation ! You should also know better that interferring in Israels business means troubles for you - check history & scriptures !
3. My goodness

Isn't that bandwaggon full yet???
4. building
Jerusalem   (03.31.10)
1) Nobody can tell Israel what to build or not to build in Jerusalem not the US , UK, France or the Arabs 2) Israel is still too nice in dealing with the Arabs
5. "...within weeks" - I'll believe it when I see it, and to
Deb ,   Boston, MA   (03.31.10)
judge Obama's ability to understand international matters and act upon them, I have my doubts the US President is at all capable of dealing with such matters.

7. Jerusalem
carlos ,   San Diego U.S.A.   (03.31.10)
Sarkozy doesn't know or wants to know that during 1948 through 1967 Jordanian soldiers use to shoot and kill innocent Israelis in Jersalem at will through the wire fence that divided the city's streets. That is only one reason why Jerusalem should not be divided. Sarkozy's ignorance is regrettable.
8. This is becoming a joke
Ben Alofs ,   BANGOR, Gwynedd   (03.31.10)
to create the appearance of a tough reaction while having no intention of doing anything. It is a game B. Hussein is playing for which the Muslim in Chief in the WH wants to exact a heavy price from Israel.
9. Israelis need to put their trust in Hashem, not the West
Dan ,   USA   (03.31.10)
Israelis/Jews need to put their total trust in Hashem and not the West. The West does not care about Israel. All that the West cares about is their own interests. They don't care about Israel. They don't care that G-d gave all of the Land of Israel to the Jewish people. They don't care about the Torah or anything related. Put your trust in the Almighty G-d of Israel. Put your total trust in Hashem. Pray for the Moshiach and continue to do good deeds. Redemption is near.
10. Obama "would like to see" but he won't see.....
Sami ,   Lebanon   (03.31.10)
11. these guys don't get it still and that is
Barney ,   USA   (03.31.10)
hard to belive. The Israel/pali conflict causes terror around the world. Just what in the hell does it have to do with darfur, russian bombing, spanish bombing, iraqui bombings, aghani bombings. you are dealing a radical philosophy that loves death for everyone but their leaders. they are hiding undergound in bunkers. If Israel completely disappeared, G-d forbid, you would still have the same old radical islam muslims blowing each other up, doing honor killings, hacking non muslims with machetes and the list of horrors goes on. So sarkohzy wake your ass up. you don't have a clue any more than obummer
12. sanctions
tom ,   tel aviv   (03.31.10)
Maybe it's just me but I think, that the moment pres.B.Hussein and the merry euro-dimmhi announce sanctions on Iran , that'll be the moment we can know for sure, that the mullah's got the bomb. Sanctions will not come a moment too soon to spoil the victorious march towards Shoa II. But then again, maybe it's just me...
13. Obama should focus on Iran, not Israel. He should realize
Dborah Fishman ,   LA, CA USA   (03.31.10)
who is a friend of the U.S. and who is a mortal enemy. But Obama being Obama is eager to humiliate the Jew and elevate the Muslim, both at home and abroad. At home he, a non-Jew, proceeds to tell the Jewish people the significance of Passover - an arrogant act in the first place - while not realizing how meaningless his words sound. Abroad, his eagerness to humiliate the Prime Minister of a democratic ally of the United States, and in turn to humiliate a whole people, is of higher importance to him than tell the Arabs: accept Israel's right to exist, which they still refuse. I voted for Obama, having been swept by the habit that prevails in the Jewish community, but no more, not after the persistent call by him and his Secretary of State for Jews, only because they are Jewish, to refrain from residing in certain neighborhoods of Jerusalem. Even the anti-racism is gone from this supposedly liberal person.
14. We can’t afford to wait : Time has come for action.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (03.31.10)
Iranian nuclearization remains an existential threat to Israel, it also remains authentically genocidal in the legal sense. It follows that Israel’s reliance upon its own nuclear strategy and nuclear deterrent will now necessarily expand. Israel shall soon have to make a long-postponed decision on preemption (anticipatory self-defense) against Iranian hard targets. If this decision should continue to be postponed, Israel will likely lose the chance to defend itself conventionally. More concerning the dangers of a nuclear Iran at : http://xrl.us/h8ydt
15. every few monthe we hear the same BROKEN RECORD!!!!!!!!
obama HUSSEIN is ,   full of it!!!!!!!!   (03.31.10)
16. I apologize for our incompetent muslum president. I did not
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (03.31.10)
vote for him but he did fool many Jews and Israel is on the hot seat for the gullibility of US Jews who fell for the fake idea of "Change."
17. The UN sanctions like nails on a blackboard
Fred ,   The Negev, Israel   (03.31.10)
It sounds impressive but it's not. Whereas Sadaam Hussein was a villian once upon a time, Ahmadnejad is a hero and Bibi is the villian in today's madcap warped maccabre known as the (suppossed) United Nations. The US Congress passed resolutions that could cripple the Iranian economy but Obama stopped it and passes the buck to the UN who will at most raise the tarriff on bubblegum imports into Iran by a factor of 1% and see if after a year Iran buckles from this intense pressure. All of this will happen after 70 new resolutions condemning us. Obama creates smoke screens knowing that Iran will be a nuclear threat to us one day soon. False hope is like fools gold.
18. He is right, if
eli ,   yerushalayim   (03.31.10)
he replaces the absence of peace" (in the region "is a problem for all of us" - and that it feeds terrorism around the world) with jihad.
19. Israel paranoid
imafreeagent ,   Florida   (03.31.10)
For over five years, Israel has been claiming that Iran has, or is building, nukes without a scintilla of evidence that it's true. Personally, I think Ahmadinejad is jerking Israel's chain and laughing his head off.
