Thank you Ron .. we need more people with access to the media to speak up and tell it ilike it is .. that Obama is the one hurting the chance for peace by being one sided and anti Israel no less anti ally. the root cause of the current violence is arabe rejectionism, incitment and the attemtp to deligitimize Israel around the world. however it will not work becasue in the end Israel is apor west nuclear state ... and thank G-d.

Lauder turned into a right-wing government spokesman hired by Netanyahu to continue sabotaging prospects for peace.

Obama will only understand after the election in November when he loses control of the house thereafter.

Enough with your stupid "peace industry" !

obamas team needs to stepback and rethink its policy toward Israel

What Lauder doesn't admit is that it is a very good thing the PA rejects negotiations. Thank heavens, they reject negotiations. What does Israel have to gain from negotiating with the PA? Absolutely nothing. What do we have to lose? Jerusalem, our heartland, freedom from constant rockets on all our cities and towns, an 8 mile waist...

#3? Do you somehow have your pulse on the Jewish communities of the USA? If so, spell it out for those of us in the dark. Otherwise, please add, "in my most humble opinion." In that way, you'd gain some much needed credibility. Incidentally, even JStreet is discouraged by what appears to be O'Bama's lynching of Israel.

A Jewish leader who is not afraid to stand up to the arrogant American president and his excessively harsh criticism of Israel. I can't wait for the midterm elections. Obama is in for a very unpleasant surprise. That should take the arrogance down a notch or two.

I see you are keeping the tradition.

He is criticizing commader of American forces and there by putting american troops in harm sway. It looks like he is working for enemy forces. If Netanyahu thinks by unleashing his attack dogs on Obama he is going to achieve anything then he is wrong!

..telling people what to think and write..

Instead, Netanyahu starts sending his own cheap clones.

at the expense of Israel's security. As the rift with with US grows, Israel will be isolated.

Words alone are no longer enough. Actions on the ground show a huge gap between what Israel says and what it does.

ISRAEL Forever!

B. H. Obama says he is a Christian, but he calls the Koran holy. He needs to come to terms with the fact that before Muhammad and his Allah came to existence, YHWH the GOD of Abram, Isaac, and Jacob, was, is, and will be. Unlike the Koran (Sura 16 verse 93) Allah who misleads (deceives) whom he will, but then calls to account those he misleads, the Bible says it is Satan who misleads.

Obama has the courage to besmirch, demean, and degrade Israel because left wing, liberal, democrat, Jews still support him. That is the crux of the problem with the relationship between Israel and the US. Liberal democrat Jews do not love and support Israel. Their religion is Liberalism. It is first, last, and always. Until American liberal democrat Jews wake up and see the danger they are putting Israel in American policy will contiue down the path of destroying Israel. We know that "in every generation an enemy will rise up to destroy Jews" . The corrolary that is unspoken is that the enemy will always have support from weak spineless Jews with the misguided notion that they can save themselves by betraying their people.

Ron Lauder is ignorant of the facts,obviously biased and fortunate enough to be born with a platinum spoon in his mouth. Absent the latter, his one page ads and opinion wouldn't merit a line in a local Pennysaver. In 2004 the World Court ruled what 9 UNSC resolutions stated, Israels WB settlements violate the Geneva Convention and are illegal. According to Peace Now the housing construction in the WB (after the so called freeze) actually exceeds the rate of housing growth in Israel proper. The connect between Islamic terrorism made by Gen Petraeus and US foreign policy is nothing new. Osama Bin Laden is quoted in the 9/11 report as saying the same thing. He also said in 1996 that his enemies were: the Zionist State Israel, their ally the US and the Saudi Royal Family.Ron Lauder would do better reading the news than pontificating about it.

You forgot Gaza. The Arabs turned that into a Taliban State. Which is what will happen to Judea and Samaria if the arabs are given a chance.

pretend to represent me or to represent the state of israel whom he doesn't represent either!

The Kenyan citizen, closet Muslim Obama doesn't care what Lauder is saying, because Obama knows that far left liberal American Jews will overwhelmingly support him with money and votes in 2012. In fact the tougher Obama makes it for Israel the more money and votes he will get from these cowardly Jews.

It is heartwarming to see somebody so important in the jewish community to stand so strongly behind Israel. At the same time the silence of jewish politicians, especially Schumer and Rothman casts a dark shadow on american jewish liberals. HISTORY IS REPEATING ITSELF!
