31. US Senate
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (05.09.10)
If many Democrat Senators do not want to lose their comfortable jobs, they should think about impeachment.

Even if you surrender Israel to the Mullahs, you will still remain the Great Satan that must be destroyed. And, by the way, Charlotte, NC, seems like a perfect target for Iranian ICMBs. Duck and cover.

That has to be most laughable "argument" that I've ever read. You're claiming that because the Jews insist upon defending themselves this means that they do not have faith in God? Pure stupidity... and malicious stupidity, at that.

The Great Satan is "nonsense"? I would not be so sure of that. Albrecht seems to be a connoisseur of one of my favorite popular enlightement movies. It has a catchy audio signature, a jingle if you want. Watch it and you are doomed to repeat it in ya head. Duck - and cover *sing*

38. The Israeli Goverment is a Sham
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (05.10.10)
It is quite obvious that the Obama administration is in firm control of the Israeli government through their representatives Ehud Barak and Shimon Peres who although were not elected as foreign ministers are basically taking over the foreign policy of Israel for the Obama administration. It is quite obvious now that Israel does not have a democratically elected government. It is quite obvious that the government is a puppet of the United States. The fact that the Israeli government is placing a building freeze in Ramat Shlomo in other areas of Jerusalem is a testament to that fact. Every government denial of overwhelming evidence given in the media is an insult to the intelligence of the Jewish people in Israel and the world. No amount of game playing and word games will change that fact. Unless the Israeli government firmly and categorically denies statements of the United States and starts openly to build then I have have no reason to disagree that the freeze is real. Israel is inviting massive pressure with each act of appeasement. Questions need to be answered as to why Ehud Barak and Shimon Peres are so eager to push peace agreement or when they are not elected officials of the foreign ministry. If Bibi Netanyahu is truly in charge he needs to prove it. It is quite odvious Barak Livni Peres and Netanyahu cannot be trusted with the security of Israel and the Jewish people. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com
39. Albrecht, Germany subsidizes Iran...
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (05.10.10)
...with ever increasing trade numbers. In fact, so much so that there is even a Wiki page about it... Iran is not going anywhere. But Israel, that little state, is going to wind up very differently.

Birdi ,   Israel   (05.10.10)
And your blog is nothing but a waste of space.You have one hell of a inflated opinion of your zero knowledge of Israel.

Birdi ,   Israel   (05.10.10)
Oh yes ? We will see about that; just wait until November, little big mouth.
42. you're delusional
Alex ,   Miami, USA   (05.29.10)
Obama's policies, courtesy of him having the same economic advisors that gave Bill Clinton such an economically successful presidency (Geithner & Summers), such as the stimulus, bank stress tests, & health care reform, saved our economy from what would've otherwise been an inevitable 2nd great depression with 0 lending, worthless Treasuries, a worthless dollar, & 25-30% (or more) unemployment. We went from losing 700k jobs/month when he took office to gaining 200k a month now, and from -6% growth to +3.5%. Instead of wasting taxpayer $ on the assinine Iraq war, he's investing it in alternative energies, education, & small business tax breaks. And instead of taking the naive line that Obama hates Israel b/c Fox News says so, look @ the facts instead: 1. Obama approved $30 billion over the next 10 years in aid to Israel 2. Under Obama's direction the US rejected the absurd Goldstone report 3. Under Obama's direction the US had the biggest ever Israel-US bilateral military exercises 4. Obama allowed for tens of billions of dollars worth of the latest military tech to be sold to Israel, something Israel's supposed friend GW Bush did not allow 5. Look at who Obama's top advisors are - VP Biden has a flawless record of championing pro-Israel legislation during his 40 yrs in the Senate, and chief of staff Emanuel comes from Israeli parents & served in the IDF And don't lie like he's forcing Israel to disarm its nukes. According to an Associated Press article today, "The disarmament action plan also inevitably leaves a major gap, since it doesn't obligate four nations that are not members of the treaty — India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea" When he leaves office in 2016, he will be judged as easily the greatest president since FDR, perhaps even since Lincoln. Feel free to start feeling foolish about your shortsightedness
43. is Obama's Dropping 'War on Terror' coincidence?
observer   (05.29.10)
As part of a new campaign to reach out to the Arab world, Obama is dropping the phrase "war on terror" from the U.S. diplomatic lexicon. The US has aided Israel against groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad, as part of the doctrine 'War on Terror'. Those groups are far from bringing demise to the Jewish state. In the final statement of the anti-nuclear conference, the US & Egypt decided intentionally to deeply embarrass Israel. in 1973, 50 Israeli tanks stepped 100 km from Cairo versus 500 Egyptian artillery and an army of anti-tank missiles. What prevented Egypt from crushing the Israelis? it was nothing but fear from the despaired Israel using nuke; it is all recorded! after less than a year Israel pulled back leaving a strip east of Suez Canal and in 1982 Israel left Sinai altogether. No Israel failed the nuke test. Remember the Libyan Civilian airliner bought down by Israel in early 1973, that was another nuke failure.
