61. To balance his act, Obama, in his future visit to the region
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (07.09.10)
will insist on ascending to Arafat's grave site to lay a wreath at the burial place of the man whose hands, even in his death, are still dripping of the blood of Jewish children, of their mothers, fathers and infant brothers and sisters. He will do so when he finally accept - he hasn't so far - Israel's invitation for an official visit, and since here, for balance's sake, he will also ask to visit Ramallah and Arafat's site. A visit to Israel alone, it having been the most loyal of friends of the US in the region not withstanding, will be viewed by the Muslim-Arab world as disrespectful and how could Mr. Barack (Barakah in Arabic) Hussein Obama do such a thing...?? (note, he was in Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, but never to Israel while on these trips!!!)
62. Good morning from Maine. Obama has been hostile toward
Vivian ,   Portland, ME   (07.09.10)
and disrespectful of Israel, its leaders and people and Jews in the United Sates and elsewhere. A short interview on TV will not undo the damage done for a period of a year and a half, only actions would. I am awaiting to see an an going change, and if I don't recognize any, I have no reason to support Obama or anyone that he may endorse.
63. to no.9 (unsigned)
miri ,   israel   (07.09.10)
FYI Israel receives monies by way of purchases made in the USA - we do not get the cash to do with what we want !
64. # 14 As an American Jew, I stand behind each
Gabe ,   Alexandria, VA USA   (07.09.10)
of your words.
65. Should not have brough up Rahm Emmanuel
Golani ,   Vineland, USA   (07.09.10)
It was surely a mistake for Obama to bring up Rahm Emmanuel. In Israel too, there are plenty of dangerous leftist Israeli who would be willing to give up the key to the kingdom for what they naively believe would be peace. Not that they are evil, but they are naive, and therefore they actually are pushing for the downfall of Eretz Israel as a Jewish Nation. Rahm Emmanuel too comes from this camp. He certainly is not pro-Israel, and he is leading the direction of the Obama admin.
66. Opium for the Masses
Yaakov ,   Jerusalem   (07.09.10)
Also, Obama had a history supporting and going to fundraising events of Arabs that left their occupation of Israel and are in Illinois (aka the so-called Palis) for years before his stint as Senator and (during as well ? I do not remember)...no doubt this money shored up the Arab-Turq occupation of ISraela and made contributions to the various terrorist orgs.
67. i love obama, whatever middle name...
eporue ,   europe   (07.09.10)
he has a crystal clear mind, and can break things to the point: he talks sense and facts. what a contrast to your PM... i agree with every word. when does he come to israel ?
68. Having viewed the interview, I am now convinced that
Suzanne G. Greenberg ,   Kensington, MD U.S.   (07.09.10)
the man would make a U turn as soon as he finds it to his advantage and the advantage of the interests that he represents, and they are certainly not Israel and the Jewish people. Having been a life long Democrat, second generation in fact, Obama, and for that matter Ms. Clinton, will not be my choice for the White House in the next Presidential elections.
69. eporue @ y67, as you can see from comments there not that
leo ,   usa   (07.09.10)
many people who are as gullible as you are.
70. #67'He talks sense&facts'...Ha! Take away those damn telepro
