31. I'll trust Obama's sincerity when I see actions, when I see
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.20.10)
the President of the US ceasing humiliating Israel's elected officials and stop spitting at Israel's laws, institutions and those who head them. So far, contrary to his pre-elections talks, Obama managed to humiliate its prime minister on an on-going basis and in so doing belittling one of Israel and the Jewish people's most important symbols of sovereignty in our peoples ancestral homeland. Obama should apologize for what he has managed to do, yes apologize! But instead, he continues to insist, like the worse anti-Jewish racist in America that Jews, only because they are Jewish, may not reside in certain villages, towns and city neighborhoods of a country that is not even his. I only hope American Jews realize what they contributed to bring into the While House, and where their focus should be today: To demand of Obama, and his right hand woman, Clinton, to get off the back of the nation-state of the Jewish people and one of its most loyal ally.
32. displaced Arabs?
Mike ,   Jerusalem   (04.20.10)
They displaced themselves! We did not tell them to leave, BenGurion in fact asked them to stay. They took their chances by listening to the leaders of teh Arab League who sold them a bill of goods.They made their bed now they have to sleep in it. If they have no where to go Hussein Obama their Muslim brother will gladly accept them as he already pushed through congress a bill to bring Gazans to America. So do not belly ache to us that we displaced you, you did it to yourselves(Thank God)
33. #27 michael peterson
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (04.20.10)
They do not want 90% of the land that was captured in 1967. They do not want 100% of this territory either. They do want 100% of Israel and they do want to kill all the Jews. Pretty simple.
34. Obama save your greetings for the muslim states
zionist forever   (04.20.10)
Here nobody wants to hear your false congratulations. Nobody here is fooled by your messianic speeches and we don't want any of your hypocritical greetings congratulating use for 62 years of independence when you don't want an independent Israel just an independent Palestinian state to replace Israel. Save your nice words for your saudi paymasters and the rest of the muslim world. Who knows one day there may even be a Hussain Obama Street in Gaza, Damascus or Theran. Go worry about Americas hge problems and stay out of Israels.
35. Funny, i hear one thing and witness another
gm ,   south africa   (04.20.10)
36. He warms my heart
Steve ,   Ra'anana Israel   (04.20.10)
He warms my heart like spit warms my face. Pres. Obama has spent a year trying to understand Iran. He could have asked an Israeli high student and would have received better advice than from his anti-Israel advisors. Actions are far more important than words. And his actions over the last 15 months have convinced the Arab world of his disdain for Israel.
37. Obama not interested with Israel
sam ,   colorado-usa   (04.20.10)
America interesting with has many Internal and external problems now not interested with Israel
38. Enough of these foolish articles
Michael F ,   NY, USA   (04.20.10)
Please stop printing these kind of articles. Every time Obama utters the words "Our bond with Israel is unbreakable, " Israel should run because some new foolish demand is following right behind. Obama's words of friendship are meaningless; his negative actions towards Israel show his true self.
39. #37 sam, colorado-usa
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (04.20.10)
Do you think, a nuclear armed Iran is in the interest of the USA?
40. Obama Israel
Ronald ,   Brooklyn, NY   (04.20.10)
Mr. Obama I thank you for your words. But, it would be easier for you if you would not wish anyone a 62 year old congratulations. You and Carter will have the same faith.
41. Dear Mr. President, you can sit on your statement
Genuine Moshe   (04.20.10)
42. He can't even say it with a straight face
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS   (04.20.10)
43. SAVE IT!
OZ   (04.20.10)
we all know who and what you are. you'd be better off not saying anything anymore on our behalf ,just carry on with you moslem brethren.... who will turn on you and the usa in a jiffy.... obama is a one term loser president , who will be bismirched forever, for his treatment of israel and other allies and his attmept to ruin the usa, god forbid. tfu on you hussein!
44. TO #5
OZ   (04.20.10)
"INDEGIOUS PEOEPLE OF PALESTINE"-- i'm sure you are refering to the early jewish settlers who turn this bare piece of land to what it is today... and to those who turn the sand dunes of tel aviv to what it is today... you arab always want to rewrite and recalim what wasNEVER yours to begin with. dream on ,mf!
45. Hmmm
# 2   (04.20.10)
46. Happy Independence Day.
Shajan ,   India.   (04.20.10)
Wishing Israel all the best from India. May all true-Israelites shine like "SUN" ! Love !
47. #33, Albrecht Klein
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (04.20.10)
It is as You say, pretty simple...
48. BLAH BLAH BLAH !
Ke$ha   (04.20.10)
empty words from an empty minded president
49. Obama congratulates Israel on Independence Day
George Weiss ,   Teaneck, USA   (04.20.10)
This statement is just politics. Obama would rather that Israel disappear so that he would have less problems with his fellow moslems.
50. Barakeh Hussein Obama
asher ,   ISRAEL   (04.20.10)
Every time Mr Obama or Mrs Clinton utter their "sweet " words to Israel I am reminded of the deceptive talk of Mr Manosher Mutaki , the foreign minister of the Islamic republic trying to deceive the west and to gain time !!
51. Hussein Obama
Israeli ,   Israel   (04.20.10)
Mr Obama is talking and behaving like a swindler . Prime minister Nethanyahu is free to say that he trusts him , but we as a people don't believe him and don't trust him !
52. To all Commentators
Harold ,   NY, USA   (04.20.10)
What ever you say and ever you do no one can change Mr. Obama's plan i.e Two States Solution living side by side peacfully. If you want to continue to be occupiers then nothing will be solved and you will look on your shoulders forever.
53. strengthened in the months and years to come-after he leaves
(04.20.10)
office and goes back to Chicago.
54. His words carry no weight
Adam   (04.20.10)
He's like an abusive husband who insists he loves his wife.
55. Does anyone wonder why only 4% of Israeli Jews trust him and
Debbie ,   Kibbutz Tzora   (04.20.10)
have any respect for him? Maybe it is time more American Jews asked themselves this question, unless they too would rejoice in the annihilation of the Jewish state?
56. Barakeh (in Arabic) Hussein Obama's words are empty of
Steve Kaplan ,   U.S.A.   (04.20.10)
sincerity. His attempted appeal is only toward the Jews of America, fewer and fewer of them continue to trust him, especially after the negative attitude that he has not stopped exhibiting toward Israel, its leaders and the symbols of Jewish sovereignty in the Jewish homeland.
57. LIAR!
jimmy37 ,   Brooklyn, USA   (04.20.10)
Yobama is a two-faced Chicago liar. Don't believe a word that he says. Just watch what he does.
58. If you believe a word from Husein lips I have a bridge to
American   (04.20.10)
sell you, Brooklyn Bridge
59. i believe his words...
eporue ,   europe   (04.20.10)
60. At round 60 posts read how he is hated -and rightly so
Alan ,   SA   (04.20.10)
