1. Israel is too good
Paul ,   Jerusalem, ISrael   (04.09.10)
To show up in a den of demons
2. Israel's primeministership as a symbol has been trashed for
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.09.10)
more than a year by Mr. B.H.Obama, so why to allow him to do it again? - - - - - - One of Israel's most important symbol of sovereignty and independence is its office of the Prime Minister. Yet, since B.H.Obama has entered the Oval Office, this symbol of Jewish sovereignty and independence has been trashed by the U.S. President time and again. I don't see any reason why the Prime Minister of the United Nations' member state of Israel, the only Jewish state on earth, should expose himself time and again to the humiliating behavior of the naive and inexperienced President of the U.S. I don't see why to give the President the opportunity to endlessly humiliate not only Israel's Prime Minister but by extension the entire Jewish people, within and without Israel, whose nation-state Israel is. It is not a coincident that Mr. B.H.Obama's popularity among Jews in Israel - people who are patriotic to their country and people but who have not necessarily voted for Netanyahu's party - has received only 4% approval... P.S. Perhaps some American Jews should take a note of it and stop being hypnotized by the dog and pony show they are given on Pesah, coupled with wishful thinking and analysis lacking factual basis. Just listen again to B.H.Obama's speech in Cairo to begin appreciating what Israeli Jews feel...!!
3. The whole world laughs at Israel
John ,   London   (04.09.10)
Why don't American republicans just become Israeli citizens
4. "An embarrassing distraction."
Sivan ,   Jerusalem   (04.09.10)
Yes, Obama is to world peace.
5. My previous post made reference to B.H.Obama''s humiliating
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.09.10)
attitude towards one of Israel's most important symbol of government and independence: the primeministership, and by extension to the entire Jewish people. Another form of humiliation is something American Jews experienced until the 1950s and 1960s: the restricting of Jews' right from residing in certain neighborhoods in town. Well, Mr. B.H.Obama the "progressive", together with his right-hand woman, Ms. H.R.Clinton the "liberal", have decided to re-introduce the same racist policy in no other place than the national home of the Jewish people and in no other city than the capital of the the Jewish people during the past 3,000 years. In a move that can't be described in any other way by racist the two have demanded the Jews, only because they are Jewish, should not reside in certain villages and towns of the Land, and must be refrained from residing in certain neighborhoods of Jerusalem. This is pure anti-Jewish racism!!! And this from the Obama-Clinton team, voted into office based on promises at the AIPAC 2008 meeting and additional endless promises largely by the overwhelming majority of Jews in America. Thus, Netanyahu's apprehensions are certainly understandable. Perhaps Jews in America should also be apprehensive of the company they keep...??!!
6. Thank You Liz !!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (04.09.10)
Liz Cheney got it right, she is really a women of great wisdom and courage...
7. We just have to wait till Nov. to see b.o.
jason white ,   afula,israel   (04.09.10)
start to lose. After Jan,2013, there will be an American citizen as POTUS and b.o. will turn intoa more annoying second jimmy carter. The next POTUS will have to cancel all the harm that b.o. and his gang did. We will see the U.S. return to fight islamic terror.That is the name of the terrorists and their war on the human race. Their boy will be out of the Oval Office and probably return to his madrass.
8. BB stay home till u have something new to offer
Aaron ,   USA   (04.09.10)
9. If they don't want distractions,they need to treat Israel
Z   (04.09.10)
reasonably. Israel is NOT required to act against its national interests simply for the sake of Obama's political standing, if Obama is not willing to help Israel in turn. Obama's administration has done nothing in the middle east but attack Israel and put it in nuclear jeopardy. Waste of time to work with him. And I say that as someone who voted for him.
10. BIBI KNOWS THIS WILL TURN INTO ANOTHER BASH ISRAEL FEST

12. Bibi is right
Yossef ,   Rehovot, Israel   (04.09.10)
It is not necessary to go to a new masquerade and let the people of Israel be humiliated again by the US empire. Send them a technician to listen what is said and come back, it's enough. Don't waste your time with Titus :)
13. To John, London

16. John #3
Harvey ,   London   (04.09.10)
Better to become a citizen of Israel rather then turn into a suburb of Islamabad which is the route our country ,media and many of our politicians appear to be taking.
17. Liz Cheny
Birdi ,   Israel   (04.09.10)

Did you hear the one about the country which once had an empire and is now called "BROKEN BRITAIN ??"" enjoy ..ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
20. why does Israel trust International Community ?
Marcel ,   Florida   (04.09.10)
Netanyahu should have stood up to Obama in Washington last month and put him in his place. It's OK for a Jew to do this but grasshopper Jews are not capable of stand up on their two feet. We hear often in the media that ISRAEL is waiting for the international community to act against Iran to halt it's Nuclear ambitions. How can Israeli leaders be this naive so soon after WWII ? HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING ABOUT DEPENDING ON OTHERS ?
21. It's good to have a hero in your corner
Popski ,   Toronto Canada   (04.09.10)
Not only are the Republicans making great strides in the 'gender issues' side of things, they're maintaining their lip-lock on all things Zionist. Too bad there's such a religious rump in both camps that would see such as 'Lez\ Cheney frickaseed in the nether regions. This wasn't any tea party she was addressing.
22. 3- I agree
AMERICAN   (04.09.10)
too many republicans and jewish americans put the security of Israel before the security of the USA.
23. #3 - Were they laughing..
Yosef Levy ,   Tel Aviv   (04.09.10)

24. yehia ayach street is sure a good gesture toward peace
dovdevan ,   ashdod,israel   (04.09.10)

25. Everyone has something to say about O-what about HILARY?
Alan ,   Sa   (04.09.10)
She is the worst! She bluffed the most Jewish populated state of NY ....as to her pro Israel , pro Jew credentials. Look at her behaviour now . She of Gefilte Fish stories and he of the Seder Nights
26. #3 ACTUALLY JOHN
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (04.09.10)
Folk generally either love Israel or hate her ,nobody is laughing I can assure you .Perhaps you ought to look a bit closer to home should you need a bit of a laugh .Know wot I mean ??
27. My husband and I voted for Obama after he convinced us
Margie C. Kaplan ,   Lake Worth, FL U.S.A   (04.09.10)
he stood firm behind Israel's security and after he announced to the whole world that Jerusalem, from his perspective, will remain united under Israel's sovereignty. That was then. His tune has taken 180 degrees turn towards Israel and Jerusalem. Some had seen it in advance when they said to themselves: tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are. His friends turned out to be Minister Farakhan, Rashid Khalidi and Reverend Wright. That says it all, and his words and actions related to Israel and the on going humiliation that he employed towards Israel's officials have convinced my husband and me that we made the wrong decision; a very wrong one, and we are not going to repeat it in the next elections. I certainly hope other Jews and non-Jews who care for Israel and the Jewish people will do the same.
28. Republicans":Field Worthy Opponent ..NOW
Roland Seener ,   London England   (04.09.10)
29. you mean your whole World
#3John wholeWorld ? ,   you mean Your Whole   (04.09.10)
So, your the only one laughing here. You need to research your politics. Not all republicans, and did you hear? we'd invite you to Tea. Never mind your busy laughing with only yourself. Americans who fear the G-D of Abraham, Isaac and Israel would love to move to Israel. But, we're not Jewish except in our hearts. Be very careful John who laughs last , John laughs alone. Americans are not all republicans, most of us are conservative Thank you Cheney, daughter of former US Vice President Richard Cheney. G-D forgive John he's ignorant.
30. "John"
Ilana   (04.09.10)
How many times has the whole world been right in its history? Exactly. Never.
