Archangel ,   Roma   (05.08.10)
Israel will never fall into that trap.
2. I'll be personally be very disappointed..
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (05.08.10)
if Israel pays a lick of attention to my rather disturbed president.
3. november
babalalou ,   miami, usa, fl   (05.08.10)
let`s wait ,after november ok,the end of this stupidity
4. Obama once again proves...
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (05.08.10)
what a silly man he is.
5. yeah right - attention has always been on
AY_Lamb ,   Globestan   (05.08.10)
Israel's "nuclear program" HA! laughable, regardless of what the US is doing. Let's be clear nobody is fooled by what's going on - Obama kept phallic obsessed neocons all in the US DoD. Gates is one for sure they are all violence-prone, self-hating, jesus loving, homos anyway and all he is doing is maintaining this facade of rivalry and change while obsolete weapons are mothballed, and new contracts with new innovations are implemented, for crying out loud he even kept the bush-doctrine PGS precision global strike thing. His constant negotiating and cow towing with these demented "end of world/book of revelations" cultists is crazy. It is all "brotherhood of the bomb "Planet of the Apes" circa 1972
6. Obama's moral blindness
Steve   (05.08.10)
President Obama cannot distinguish between Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on the one hand and Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the other hand. Truth be known, Mr. Obama sees Netanyahu as the greater threat to peace and security. Obama cannot distinguish between the IDF on the one hand and Hamas and Hezbollah on the other hand. President Obama's twenty-something year spiritual mentor - Reverend Jeremiah Wright - in a sermon referred to Israel as that "dirty word." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnI431s1r6s Wright called Israel a state sponsor of terrorism. No question, his protege, Barack Hussein Obama concurs. Truth be known, Obama might not make a distinction between Adolf Hitler and Israel's prime minister. President Obama is a very dangerous man. Sadly, the American people elected this dangerous man.
7. another day, another rant against Obama--yawn...
arik ,   usa   (05.08.10)
I guess it's hard to accept that not everyone in the world will 100% toe Israel's line. We've gone from 100% under George W. to slightly less under Barak O. Not enough that Israeli interests still set Congress' middle east agenda. Not sure, but the day where the "magiah li" attitude will not be indulged so fully here.
8. obama hussein & achmadinijad have the same goal
destroy israel   (05.08.10)
9. "phallic obsessed neocons", AY Lamb?
Cameron ,   USA   (05.08.10)
Why you ridiculous drama queen you.
10. Israel is under threat of extinction. Must defend itself
Sami ,   New York, USA   (05.08.10)
Israel is under threat of extinction and must defend itself.
11. ALL obama's initiatives are dangerous-to Israel, to America
marlene ,   Philadelphia, USA   (05.08.10)
obama is a danger to ALL non-muslim democracies. And we American Jews voted for him - Israel's muslim enemy. (I didn't vote for him because I smelled the rancid coffee). At least the American Jew will lose one stereotypical calling - being smart. Not these days, for sure. In Zion's name, I pray to G-d for their enlightenment.
12. #7 Arik - *magiah li*
Raoul ,   Herzlia Israel   (05.08.10)
Great Hebrew! - but a weak argument. BTW - Yawning not allowed - far too much at stake. We are all in the same leaky boat.
13. President Obama, today's best of the rest...
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (05.08.10)
...fake posters, jerks, wannabe warriors, no match for President Obama. The United States cannot legally sell Israel one more single weapon or munition. You folks don't get it, it is illegal for us to sell you ANY more weapons because you have not signed the NNPT yet you are a nuke power. The rule of law, coming to an Israel near you.
14. "in Zion's name" - is that like jihad?
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (05.08.10)
Sure sounds like whack religious crappola to me...
15. ISNT THERE A RADICAL REGIME ( ZIONISM ) IN ISRAEL, TODAY ?
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (05.08.10)
16. Dangerous initiative.
Mark ,   Los Angeles ca.   (05.08.10)
Obama has demonized the only democracy in the middle east, and he has befriend those with the ideology that the nations of the west are demons, and they call for our destruction. I guess the image of people dancing in the streets after 9/11 has faded from our memorys. Israel stand tall, again we see the anti semitism of whole nations. Yes we can trust in god to deliver us, but this time we must also realize our safety is that god has provided us with weapons to destroy those who would destroy us.
17. The emperor's new clothes
David H ,   Cap[e Town South Afr   (05.08.10)
When it is no longer politically correct and people have the guts to say so, it will come to be understood that Obama IS the Manchurian Candidate. I almost can't wait to see how history will treat him when the realisation sets in that he is the worst president in the history of the USA. It will be written what a naive fool he was and how he weakened the US and the West and played into the hands of their enemies. Come November 2010, he will become a lame-duck and this will be the beginning of his end, but much damage will be done before he is sent into the sunset.
18. Another negative step by Obama Administration
Shalom Freedman ,   Jerusalem Israel   (05.08.10)
The Obama Administration has damaged Israel's interests. 1) By putting one- sided pressure on Israel it has given the Arabs the notion that they need not make any concessions or compromise at all 2) It has shown other nations that it is advisable to distance themselves from Israel. Turkey is the most prominent example here. 3) Its succumbing to the Egyptian initiative is intended to put pressure on one nation only, Israel. 4) Either willfully, or simply stupidly the Obama Administration is working to undermine the security of the only real ally it has in the Middle East.
19. There isn't ANYTHING about Obama that is good.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.08.10)
Until the Obama administration, Warren Harding was the symbol of American presidential incompetence. A self described buffoon, Harding readily admitted he had no business being America's president. Harding was ineffectual but nowhere near as damaging as Obama. What makes Obama so uniquely damaging is a combination of almost total incompetence to govern combined with megalomania and hostility to everything America stands for. His only skill appears to be reading a teleprompter. As U.S. President, there isn't ANYTHING about Obama that is good. Not his domestic policy. Not his foreign policy. Nothing.
20. Israelis don't trust their own G-d
Joy   (05.08.10)
isaelis should not have any weapons at all, they have their G-d. Israelis keep saying "we are god's people" "our god will destroy our enemy" it appears that israelis don't even believe in their god? Do they?
21. # 13
Birdi ,   Israel   (05.08.10)
Dummy we dont need your weapons Your Obama wont have a voice after November. sob sob sob & you will crawl back under your rock where you belong.
22. # 14
Birdi ,   Israel   (05.08.10)
Yes & Cherokee sounds like some bad disease to me. You racist.
23. All those having slinshots.....
Nora Tel Aviv   (05.08.10)
....included DAVID, are requested to declare it to GOLIATH.
24. There are much greater forces at play than our yakking
leo ,   usa   (05.08.10)
on Internet. Obama barely got his biggest baby - the Health Reform through (which has big chance of being overturned) and it is despite overwhelming supporting majority in Congress and The House. On Israel he does not have it even now not to mention after November elections. . . . . . Like I said before, Israel, stall it. Obamas come and go, Israel stays stay.
25. Joy #20: You lack wisdom
Steve   (05.09.10)
You wrote: "isaelis should not have any weapons at all, they have their G-d. Israelis keep saying "we are god's people" "our god will destroy our enemy" it appears that israelis don't even believe in their god? Do they? " You believe we should give up all the weapons God gave us? This is what you really believe? Are you in the habit of driving 100 miles per hour at night without your headlights? The Torah says, "You shall not test the LORD your God...." Is this what you regularly do? Is this what you advise others to do?
26. #21
Harold ,   NY, USA   (05.09.10)
It seem you don't know anything about you armed forces. More than 90% of Israeli weapons are supplied by the United States. Even the users of US weapons are trained in the United States. Your pilots are trained in the United States to pilot the F-15, F16 etc, etc. The United States is the pillar of Israel and without it Israel falls. Your Minister of Defence confirms what I am stating and ask you to wake-up and wise-up. Dummy......
27. If Obama doesn't realize why it's important Israel has nukes
not that smart...   (05.09.10)
You have to be naive bordering stupid not to realize that Israel's nuclear weapons are the key to its survival. If Obama doesn't realize that if Israel didn't have nuclear weapons - the Arab states would have opened an all out war on Israel tomorrow morning with the aim to finish it once and for all - then he's not as smart as he thinks he is. We live in a hostile volatile neighborhood among millions of fanatic Arabs who want to see as dead - and he wants as to give up our most important protection? Israelis will NEVER agree to that.
28. Harold's response to Birdi
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (05.09.10)
God is the pillar of Israel. You really ought to look in a mirror before you go calling Birdi or anyone else a dummy.
29. Obama will finish Israel
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (05.09.10)
As I said before, Obama is out to get Israel - that's perfectly clear. The only saving grace is that he will never get the support he needs to actually complete his mission and now his sentiments are out there in the open for all to see, he wont wont win a second term. He's a dud.
30. Nobama just talk but until this far
ghostq   (05.09.10)
USA didn't gave up hers, and I doubt it ever will.
