1. Deeds over Pledges
Dan ,   Titusville, FL   (09.23.10)
Israel has performed many good deeds and made many concessions. Those days are OVER until the Palestinians now make concessions to equal ALL of the Israeli concessions, declare Israel a Jewish State and make restitution to all terror victims and their families the Palestinians have harmed in the past 63 years.
2. Obama warns: Think of alternative to peace
Spencer ,   Israel   (09.23.10)
A lot of smooth talking from a proven liar! It's time Barak HUSSEIN Obama saw reality. There isn't going to be any peace or Palestinian State until these arabs recognise Israel's right to exisit and be recognised as a JEWISH State. And, once this has been achieved (recognition of Israel)these arabs should take steps to see that no more rockets are fired and that no more suicide bombers enter Israel looking for their 72 vigins!
3. Peace Its not going to happen!Get ready for the alternative
Gr ,   USA   (09.23.10)
I really don't like being neg. But truth is truth.
4. What Peace ?
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.23.10)
You've been selling this lie to Israel for 17 years. The majority in Israel finally realizes that Islam does not desire peace with Israel but it's removal. So please take your phony peace and don't let the door hit you on your way out. The way to peace is by following HaShem and not liars in nice suits. 'for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out before you. "You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods. "They shall not live in your land, because they will make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you." Exodus 23
5. Obama
hebrew prophet ,   i   (09.23.10)
The only alternative Barack Obama sholud be thinking of is the upcoming November mid term elections in USA and the massive blow handed out to the Democrat looneys by the Tea Party and Republican electorate that,s had enough already of antiquated Cuban style socialist/leftist policies ,it,s time for change ,YES WE CAN ?
6. HERE IS THE SOULUTION -

THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT WILL WORK, BOUTH IN PEACE OR IN WAR !!!. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW4OPRb4uTs OBAMA CAN RESOLVE NOTHING !!!. Arn.

9. The insanity of Obama and co
DT ,   TA Israel   (09.23.10)
is stupendous in their absurdity .They don't know that certain things are impossible as things are. Can you walk to the moon, make the world square when it is round?
10. "No Jerusalem capital..." Actually, Jerusalem has never been
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (09.23.10)
a capital city of any people or any state ever but that of the Jewish people. Indeed, the Muslim-Arabs controlled Jerusalem - as well as the West Bank and Gaza - between the years 1948 and 1967 and ensured to "cleanse" these territories of all their former Jewish residents. And when that was done, no independent "Palestine" was proclaimed there and Jerusalem was not declared its capital city. But, in 1964, three full years before Israel captured the now disputed territories, the "Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)" was set up. Which part of "Palestine" was it to "liberate"...??!!
11. Al Quida state on USA's border...................
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine USA   (09.23.10)
Putting a terrorist arab state in Judea/samaris is stupid as is obama. These animals are committed to Israels destruction and everyone knows it. Obviously the obama and all the racist fools don't care. Annex Judea/Samaria and drive the vermin out to jordan. aka arab palestine. Stop the BS.
12. "Arab Vote" solves all problems
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.23.10)
...Jews are the minority and have pushed the natives out and onto Reservations.
13. exactly Salma you have no rights on Jerusalem
(09.23.10)
Jerusalem was never the capital of any arab state. Jerusalem is in our prayes Jerusalem is our holy city since the beginning. Jerusalem is not mentioned in the coran. Mohammad did not go to heaven from the mosque of Al Aqsa because is was built only 50 years after his death! You all are liers, Leave Jerusalem to its owners THE JEWS.
14. Say what you will, Obama has good intentions
Noam   (09.23.10)
I think he's too naive for a politician, but, still, he's a good guy.
15. Sovereign and stable neighbours
Andrew Brehm   (09.23.10)
But Israel already knows the certainty and security that comes with sovereign and stable neighbors who are committed to something. So what exactly is in it for Israel?
16. i agree with # 3, isreal don't want it
Belal ,   Atlanta usa   (09.23.10)
Israel dont want to give up land and wants to grab as much as possible thru settling more and more in the weest bank...
17. "two-states for two-peoples", did he or didn't he say it?
nancy c. silver ,   kensington, md usa   (09.23.10)
if not, my trust in him is totally gone, being a young jewish activist who helped him win the presidency, and also a proud jewish woman who thinks israel is the nation-state of the jewish people. if he comes out and pronounce the above clearly and without ifs, ands or buts, i'll continue to support him. otherwise, he'll have to seek others, probably non-jews, to help him be reelected. it is that simple for me.
18. Guess Israel Played Hookey!
Moderate Jersey Jew ,   New Jersey, USA   (09.23.10)
Incredibly ARROGANT, eh?
19. Peace is the way
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (09.23.10)
But where I disagree with the President is on the moral equivalency. I don't think you can compare the Arabs firing rockets and bombs, drive-by shootings and murder, with the Israeli political opponents. Who threaten to build a house or several houses. There is a big difference between the two opponents. When one relies on murdering innocent civilians as their main technique for political change. The other, just a threat to build? How do you compare the two? But make no mistakes, we do need peace. Hamas now is trying to kill that. How? With terror and murder, and now they have turned inward, and are killing their own people, with secret trials. Hamas is afraid of the success of peace, because then, they are not needed. Hamas only exists to destroy Israel, take that away, and who needs them?
20. Israel is targeted militarily, dimplomatically, politically.
USA   (09.23.10)
Israel is vilified in international forums, primarily UN and the UN human rights council paid for by US taxpayers and taxpayers of other western democracies. The boycots, the Goldstone reports, the missiles. If I am reading the UN human rights council correctly, Israel is worse the Nazi Germany was. It is targeted by Hamas missiles and Hezbollah in the north paid for by Iran and supplied through Cyria. All Israel have to do is cut off some more parts of itself to make all this go away? You gotta be seriously impaired indeed to believe this. Israel must protect itself by itself and rely on the Almighty. Let the rest of the nations do what they will. Wars must be brought to conlcusions and not end by cease fires.
21. Salma # 8
Harvey ,   LONDON   (09.23.10)
Salma if thats the case walk away now. ROR is a non starter . If the objective of all this hot air is a West Bank /Gaza state then why carry on with ROR . It is not acceptable . Pure and simple ! Arabs have been trying for 62 years to destroy Israel .Thee existential ears in 48 67 and 73 .When that failed two Intifadas which saw the murder of thousands of innocent Israelis . When that too failed the next call became BDS together with ROR . Frankly if the Palestinians had invested a fraction of their energies building a nation state instead of wasting it in seeking to destroy Israel you would not still be living in camps . But of course that is where all the corrupt Arab leaders prefer you to be in order to deflect from their own despotism and the subjection of their own citizens,
22. To: No. 12
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.23.10)
You are a dunce. The Arabs started six wars; lost all of them. Too bad, huh? Would you dare to suggest that Poland restore the Polish Corridor to Germany? Do you think that France should return Alsace and Lorraine to Germany? Should Croatia return Istria to Italy? How about New Mexico and Arizona? Are you prepared to return them to Mexico? You need to do a little more homework before posting on this forum. Unless, of course, you like being ripped to shreds.
23. To: No. 8
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.23.10)
If no peace, mameleh, then no Arabs in Medinat Israel, Yehuda and Shomron. You'll have to go; don't think it cannot or will not happen. We really are sick of your threats and your violence.
24. Israel delegation absent from Obama's UN speech?
MikeTownsend ,   FL, USA   (09.23.10)
I would do the same thing if Obama were working to destroy the country I loved so dearly...hey, wait a minute, I'm a non-Jew living in America.
25. Obama's Plea For Reason to Prevail
S. Lahat ,   Israel   (09.23.10)
Obama's plea for a rational and humane approach to the implementation of the two-state solution is commendable and worthy of being seriously considered by all parties involved in the peace-process negotiations - including Israel's neighboring Arab states, since this is the ONLY scenario that would ultimately and effectively serve the purpose of peaceful co-existence in the region; providing that the major two concessions are met by both principal partners: Formal recognition of the State of Israel by the Palestinian Authority and Arab States in the region, and cessation of terrorist activity and from Israel's side a freeze on settlements in the West Bank, relocation of the settlers in that area and a compromise on the status of Jerusalem.
26. # 17 "two-states for two-peoples", I am with you on this!
Bob Epstein/student ,   St. Louis, MO USA   (09.23.10)
27. More of Naive Obama
Aharon   (09.23.10)
If a "peace" agreement is reached it will be little more than a formality with Israel still not having stable neighbors who are committed to co-existence. As much as I dislike Obama, even he admits the "palestinians" never had their own state, hmmm...
28. hebrew whatever, the only thing you should be thinking about
Persian CAT   (09.23.10)
that the November elections in the US will send the teabag party that you seem to adore to the garbage bag of history. First the teabaggers call themselves a party which they are not. They don't represent a cross-section of America, they are bought and paid for by the corporations that keep robbing America, they have been taken over by the GOP and they don't have a chance once their candidates are well known to the American voters. You need to pull your head out of your derriere and stop looking licking too many teabags, figuratively speaking.
29. re10:Jerusalem was a Christian capital for almost 100yrs
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (09.23.10)
The Normans ruled the area for almost 100yrs with Jerusalem as capital about 1000yrs ago. The A Mandates names Israel a Jewish homeland and gave Jewish right of return but also gave fully rights to non-Jews to live there also. UN 181 setup for both Jewish and Palestinian controlled states but Jews and non-Jews could live and own land in either. Jews pushed for UK to change the A Mandate to Jewish only and have been trying to gain that ever since but with limited success so for.
30. Stupid American Jews:Obama hussein stole your MONEY&VOTES!
