who think US needs Israel more now....

No Adon Haber. Israel should be happy dancing their hearts out and qvelling that Obama is in the sherut watching his smug, arrogant attempt at a coup d'etat has failed in a major way, and his Democrat Party enablers are circling the bowl with him. What is bad for the socialists in America is a positive for Israel, and by extension, Jews everywhere. Legalized theft and bolshevik government control is bad for children and other living things, as the 60's Bill Aryes'ian domestic terrorists used to say.

the elected powers that be are frightened & fed up

it is this exact mentality of d"don;t wake up the bears" so that they won't hurt us", is a self- defeating proposition. israel can stand by itself, as it has ,especially with a hostile, beligerent pres. like bho. we survived jc, we will survive bho. but israel's leaders and those who rejoice at the pres defeat(count me in them), should stand fast and solid ou our rights and principles. obama will be gone in '012 , israel will saty forever!

The last thing Israel needs is a strong Obama.

And trust in G-d - I mean, we've seen a portion of American Jews who are increasingly unaffiliated come up with Jstreet - anything to prove they're not 'racist' - the synonym of caring about your own... Maybe it's time for Israel to depend on itself instead of letting itself bear this sycophantic structure ... "But we need the money?" At what cost?

Haber forgets about Congress and the strongChristian Evangelical movement for Israel.

Haber is consistent.He was a devout rabin follower in spite of oslo being a raving disaster. Now he says a weakened obama will be bad for israel. it is true. Like carter, he will think that the jews cost him the house and or senate. But if obama wins mid term elections, he will also be bad for israel as he can do what he wants, unless. Unless israel says no, cut off relations, do what you want, we are not cutting into the bone. haber is a poster for depression from which he suffers and I advise him and his family to get on medication fast. Similar to olmert, a press officer with no direct combat experience himself, he acts exactly like olmert, like a coward. Stand up and fight to the last man. That some american jews are tired of israel would be their downfall. The holocaust taught very well that jews have to be sovereign, not dsimmis in an arab state which carter suggested for east jersulam which is dangerous and will not work.

1. How can Israel possibly benefit from a United States president whose agenda has nothing to do with the mandate given to him by the American electorate? 2. Obama is about to become a "lame duck." There is nothing more useless and ineffective than a lame duck president. 3. United States Jews are NOT growing "tired" of Israel. If anything, given the anti-Israel sentiment coming from the White House, the American Jewish community is becoming ever more protective of Israel, and cognizant of Israel's issues. 4. Contributions by American Jews to organizations such as B'nai Brith, Hadassah, UJA/Federation of Jewish Philanthropies and other Jewish charitable endeavors are up 40% this year, despite the economic woes. Care to explain THAT phenomenon? This article is a complete waste of space.

Obama is terrible and destructive to US in the first place. So, it is totally insane to suggest that destroyed America is for the benefit of Israel. What a limited mindset.

First of all, You may think that Obama will be around another 6 years, but as an American voter, from this side of the pond, it hardly looks that way.. Second of all..Israel need to look no further than to G-D to put their faith & trust in. You may think that Obama will protect you & sheild you, but youre dead wrong. He would sell you out in a second. Put your trust in Hashem, seriously. We didnt manage to be around for 5000+ years by putting our faith in humans. Wake up and smell the coffee.

That "strength" hasn't been on display where Russia or China are concerned. Or North Korea or Venezuela or Iran. It hasn't been evidenced in the UN's Human Rights Council which the US famously rejoined. It hasn't had a bit of influence on Syria or Turkey, nor has it apparently been exercised to pressure the Palestinians. It has, however, been used against Israel. And, by weakening the US commitment to Israel, Obama has emboldened the dark forces in the region. Lebanon is all but lost. I, for one, will rejoice if many of the "Gaza 54" in Congress, many supported by J Street, are defeated. Democrats need to see that Jews are not a one party voting bloc.

Eitan Haber. Don't complain, I didn't say it would be a funny joke. In the old days, the days of vaudeville, the audience threw vegetables at a lousy act. Today, we can only throw talkbacks. Ah, for the good, old days!

surely if the president is undermined then he cant do anything disastrous as he wont get the support?

Many Americans believe that your thoughts about President Obama having another six (6) years in office are wrong. Shoud that happen, any future United States support for Israel likely will disappear forever. Our nation cannot stand six (6) years of this administration. That, Mr. Haber, is an urgent problem for the entire free world.

You are wrong on that one. Mr. President BHO became a lame duck about three months after taking office. He is a fabulous orator, he can stir a crowd of "believers" just like a Southern preacher, but I understood early on that his content is empty, you know just like the proverbial empty vessel that makes the most noise.

and intelligence, even if one does always not agree with him. Where does that leave you #9, Alexi and #15, Terry? Apparently seething in a pot of hatred, intolerence and irrationality.

Starting with Mr. Plocker's article, then came T. Friedman's and now this. The voices of the Obama-Jews getting amplified: somebody must be pulling the string from behind. Bolshevik anti-Zionist Jews supported Stalin's purges of the non Communist Jewish intelligentsia. After the collapse of Communism all the Jews were hated for the Bolshevik's antics. As the saying goes: Trotsky is the criminal and Bronstein gets punished. Now the American Marxist Jews are boisterously supporting this Kenyan Obama and everybody knows their repulsive acts. Just watch out: for the crimes of Soros, again Schwartz will be punished. (For those who were born yesterday: Trotsky original name was Bronstein. Soros' was Schwartz) Neo-Marxist American Jewry which is in the support of Obama, are still mired in the Socialist utopia in which ethnically based Nation States like Israel have no right to exist. Muslims yes, Jews no.

OH! A "dirty" joke. Even Milton berle would not steal Haber. Henny Youngman? Maybe. Take my Haber. Please!

High crimes and misdemeanors, what else?

The vast majority of Israelis and Americans can hardly wait till 2012 when Obama is mercifully gone. However, till 2012, a weak Obama is the second best thing. Obama is already ranked, by many American, with Jimmy Carter, Warren Harding and James Buchanan, as one of the worst presidents in U.S. history. A weak Obama will be less able to further destroy the U.S. economy, alienate U.S. allies, bow to U.S. enemies and generally wreak havoc worldwide.

How Israel's enemy becoming weak, be bad for Israel? If obama is becoming weak, it is definitely good for the U.S. You might as well say that Ahmadinajad becoming weak is bad for Israel. If hamas or hezbollah get weaker, will it be bad for Israel? Use your head.

a weak america like a weak israel threatens peace by inviting agression from wicked enemies..in fairness to obama it is nancy pelosi who says the road to peace is thru damascus and she is on ballot on this tuesday...help is on the way!

Eitan I respectfully desagree. When he was strong he did nothing but making things worst for us. He visited several Countries in the Middle east but not Israel. He is weaker and weaker on the region( see the declarations made by the Sirian president). If we need him, he also needs us. If he wants to be reelected, then he will need the Jewish even more. He never acted as our friend and allied, therefore, better weaker than stronger.

Tom Friedman. Enough said.

This guy rose high just to fall hard and deep. His true face was exposed. He is no friend to Israel or USA for that matter.

obama and his rise to the hot seat stinks of wrong doing and i hope his impeachement is only round the corner. However i do agree that he will do another term as he seems to be very good at lying and manipulation.

Come what may, we are truly joined at the hip.
