1. Hussein Obama is the Greatest threat
Student ,   Beer Sheva   (04.15.10)
to Israel & Free world fighting the Jihadists There is a Saudi-Arabia agent in the White House !
2. Don't listen to the Yanks
Frank ,   Canada   (04.15.10)
The Yanks do not want to help Israel. They are not interested in curbing Arab rejection of a Jewish state, they are just interested in appeasing Arabs at Israel expense.
3. Israel must turn BHO lies into reality
Frank ,   Canada   (04.15.10)
Israel must train Talibans to turn Hussein ugly lies into an ugly reality
4. bla bla bla from an empty suite
George ,   Canada   (04.15.10)
5. Seeing it from the other side, Jihadists from Iraq in Gaza
Shame   (04.15.10)
Israel should be blaming America for all the Jihadists streaming into Gaza with experience fighting the US in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as other hot spots around the world.
6. Islam has been waging a war since its inception.
Joseph   (04.15.10)
Islam has been waging a war of destruction against Israel, Hindus, Buddhist, and the West since its inception. They were always the aggressor, because it is part of their religious belief. They believe that the Moon God known as Allah as commanded them to destroy or rule over all "infidals". After all, Islam means "to submit". Now I ask you, disregarding the fact that I think Obama supports the Islamic agenda in at least Africa and the Mid-east, if a people are set on fanatically destroying their neighbors, how can you stop them. The way is simple, and demonstrated by the Austrians, Charles Martel, and the British Army, you destroy them before they destroy you. That is a simple fact of war, which is always ignored by American progressive/socialist who think they can talk their way out of a fight.
7. Military superpower
Frank ,   Canada   (04.15.10)
The so-called military superpower is afraid of a bunch of mad Mullahs.
8. What will Obama do?
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (04.15.10)
Will Obama bow down to the apartheid King of Saudi Arabia again? Will he insult history by saying that Israel is a result of the Holocaust? Will he go to another sermon by his spiritual leader Reverend Wright? Will he transfer more money to Abbas and Fayyad to buy more houses? Will he send more troops in the mindless bid to kill Afghan freedom fighters?
9. The greatest threat
Robert ,   Brisbane, Australia   (04.15.10)
#1 " Hussein Obama is the Greatest threat " Yes you are right, he is the greatest threat to Israel's continued expansionist policies for more lebensraum and its racist treatment of the indigenous population.
10. THIS IS OBAMA'S PRECIDENCY TEST ( EXAMINATION ). GIVE HIM ..
...A CHANCE ,   ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (04.15.10)
TEST = TO ESTABLISH INDEPENDENT PALESTINE STATE
11. OBeheMA
Dave Zack ,   Ashdod   (04.15.10)
Only the future will tell
12. b.o. is as big an enemy of Israel and the
jason white ,   afula,israel   (04.15.10)
Jews as any terrorist with an explosive belt or AK-47. His "jews" like axelrod and emmanuel are traitors to Israel,Jews and Jewish history. They should be excommunicated by all streams of Judaism.
13. How can someone who knows nothing about the region
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.15.10)
lead a policy towards it, and expect the locals to appreciate his skewed view of reality and how to deal with it...??!!
14. Clever #11! We shall see.
he 11th Man ,   London   (04.15.10)
15. Israel: the thin red line! Chazak!
KO ,   UK   (04.15.10)
16. Obama is throwing Israel under the bus (he has experience)
m   (04.15.10)
Obama has decided that if he destroys Israel no more problems with Arab world. What did Churchil say about appeasement and what were the results of it in 1930s? If Israel doesn't learn from history why should the world.
17. Obama has turned me into a Republican.
american ,   usa   (04.15.10)
18. 7 year peace deal coming!
NO ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.15.10)
Obama (Hussein) will more than likely be the one to sign the 7 year peace deal with Israel as spoken of in the Book of Daniel. See Daniel 9:27. Rabbi Shivili said "we Jews can know our entire future just by reading the book of Daniel". The 7 year peace deal signed by the anti-Christ is right around the corner. Look for the 7 year peace deal coming soon.
19. Wexler Can't Be Trusted
Rich ,   Boca Raton, Florida   (04.15.10)
Wexler cannot be trusted anymore when it comes to Israel. We who once elected him learned that the hard way. He now heads a "think tank" the works for Obama. His reward for early support of Obama. Wexler will pretend that he is still the old Wexler- but he is not. He cannot be trusted to be anything than act for Obama.
20. leftist /Arab propaganda
PW ,   Virginia USA   (04.15.10)
It is obvious that Richard of Brisbane or is that the bane of Bris is just another leftist ideologue who will never check with historical fact 1) that prior to the 20th century the area now called Israel and Judea and Samaria were sparsely populated...that significant populations of Jews were in Jerusalem and Safad, Tiberius....that the census figures from the early 20th century show conclusively that the Arabs came from other locations like Syria, Arabia, Egypt etc...so stop Mr. Robert with the propaganda and stick to the facts...
21. What do you think 9/11 was
Bill Staar ,   Chicago USA   (04.15.10)
We got hit on 9/11 by terrorist because of our support for Israel it doesn't get any plainer than that
22. although there's been some window dressing ...
arik ,   usa   (04.15.10)
statements to the contrary, AIPAC remains the primary factor in determining US middle-east policy (via bribery and intimidation). You always reap what you sow, and with such a political system, the results have been disastrous for many. When will people in this country wake up and demand severe restrictions on lobbying groups in Washington? Ultimately, this sort of thing weakens the US substantially.
23. #21 Not true
GOOD ,   USA   (04.15.10)
This is a lie. Bin Laden has never before 9/11 had any sympathy for the so called "Palestinians". He had beef with the US because of our military bases in Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries. Even today Al Qaeda is fighting with Hamas in Gaza. Until Obama came to the picture Israel and the US fought for the same cause but he is in the process of changing the narrative and that's all that there is to it.
24. Angry because Obama is no Israeli puppet
David ,   USA   (04.15.10)
It is clear the only reason any of you angry is because Obama is not Israel's lapdog ready to do its bidding. You would only be happy with a Zionist President. I'm tired of reading all these alarmist posts. What has Obama done that is so bad? He asked Israel to halt illegal settlement construction so that serious and legitimate negotiations could take place? He asked Israel to refrain from creating "facts-on-the-ground" prior to negotiations? He is finally telling the truth that historical one-sided US support for Israel has caused animosity and ill-will in the Arab/Muslim World? All of these things are true and necessary. Why should Obama have to APPEASE Israel?
25. There is no mideast policy, only blatently incompetent
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (04.15.10)
chaos from a "president" that knows NOTHING about diplomacy.
26. #21. No' you got hit because you did not
Vardina   (04.15.10)
convert to Islam. When will you learn?
27. Even if you are right, what do you suggest:
Alexa   (04.15.10)
that US should destroy Israel?
28. ...but David Eherens of Boston is a puppet of Arabs
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (04.15.10)
and is parroting the most hateful, libelous and Antisemitic quotes from Arab propaganda
29. #21 Wrong
Ed ,   Canada   (04.15.10)
The stated reason was because of American infidel boots on the ground in the Holy Land (Arabia).
30. Obama and Mideast peace
No Name ,   SF USA   (04.15.10)
The US can no longer internalize Israel's settlements and aggressive foreign policy. We are broke and our kids are sick of dying and being maimed in foreign wars that are not in our best interest. If you want Iran - go get them, but leave us out and don't ask us to subsidize this fight.
