31. Obama stabs allies and fixes ties of enemies: Egypt, Israel
Yaawqove ,   Israel   (02.04.11)
versus Iran and Islamic brotherhood. Nuff said.
32. Obama may have handed the region to the islamists
zionist forever   (02.04.11)
The west Israel included has been hypocritical about Abbas. All we ever say is we must support Abbas because he is a moderate despite the fact his presidency ran out two years ago. If we did do a deal with Abbas now and Hamas or others didn't like it they would argue Abbas had no right to make the deal because he legally is no longer president. For now at least there is no peace process because we have Abbas acting like a child by refusing to talk without but also those so called palestine papers have really killed it because it showed Abbas w as willing to make some of the concessions which has been seen as treacherous and and Abbas has lost alot of his credibility as a result. So any future president is not going to be able to make concessions without being seen as a traitor. The worry from Egypt & the ripple effect its causing in other parts of the arab world is Hamas gaining the political support it needs from Egypt or other arab states and if the new Egyptian government is sympathetic then Hamas may get the politicial & military support to topple Fatah in Judea and Samaria That may even leave them with the strengh to make trouble in Jordan where 65% iof the population are palestinians. If Assad goes in Syria the alternative will almost certainly be the Muslim Brotherhood & Iran. When Obama the peace making president may have ended up being responsible for the tearing up of the existing peace treaties and regional instability like we haven't seen for decades. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SELL OUT YOUR ALLIES
33. TutenOsama is the biggest hypocrite of all....
Paul ,   Chicago   (02.04.11)
He has proclaimed himself ruler of the world and has broken every law of true democracy.
34. Obama the Muslim Messiah
Mustafa ,   Jordan   (02.04.11)

35. There were 600,000 of us on the Mall on 8/12
Claudia ,   Tampa USA   (02.04.11)
in support of the US Constitution and military yet that hyprocrite Obama didn't resign. So perhaps he should mind his own business, or stop supporting every anti everything Muslim that comes down the pike...except of course the Iranians that were demanding free elections and being slaughtered in the streets of Tehran. He didn't support them. Curious isn't it.
36. on S. Romano Horing'S analysis
joel ,   usa   (02.04.11)
the analysis of S R Horing is very appropriate, so it exposed the one-sidedness of the deals with Egypt and the PA who are subsidised by the taxpayers' money from many nations, including their weapons! as seen their mean PA's activity is "killings" like the Hamas terrorists!
37. on #1, Dan
joel ,   usa   (02.04.11)
you need to accept that Egypt is very different from those Hamas/PA, at least they tried to make their econonmy good and work for it, those palestinians are dependent & expecting only "dole outs" from the international community, and use those funds for their terrorism activities, that's the real issue!
38. Iran is the only winner!!
Blumah ,   Dallas   (02.04.11)
The only one enjoying thesituations is Iran. They are having Hizballah, Syria and Hams and thoer biggest enemy Egypt been betrayed by Obaa; In two years tey will ahve a bom and then everyothr place in the Persian Gulf would fall into htier hands
39. Could Egypt stage a coup in the United States please?

41. To: Steven at No. 39
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.05.11)
Oh, no need to bring in the Egyptians. We have our own little form .... It's called impeachment. And it's coming.
42. American Assurances
van ,   rapid city,sd   (02.05.11)
Is there still a naive leftist in Israel who still believes that the Israelis should make strategic concessions to the Palestinians based upon American security guarantees. The Obama administration has proved itself an untrustworthy ally to countries throughout the world by throwing Mubarak to the wolves after 30 years of alliance, cooperation, and praise.
43. #1: How can Obama demand democracy
Vardina   (02.05.11)
in Egypt when he himself bowed to the Saudi Arabian autocratic king? Is this not hypocricy? Politicians are a certain type of hores and you should accept it.
44. #7: Thank you with all my heart for your
Vardina   (02.05.11)
words. Being a daughter of Holocaust survivors I am aware of the hell my family went through at the time when the Jewish people had no country of their own. We are here to make sure it never happens again.
45. The Humantarian Democratic Intervention.
Orao. ,   Srbia.   (02.05.11)
The Face of it - Report: Attempt on Suleiman's life fails; 2 guards killed Published: 02.05.11, 09:45 / Israel News Share on TwitterShare on Facebook share A senior Obama Administration official told Fox News that a failed assassination attempt on Egyptian Vice President Omar Suleiman soon after he was appointed on January 29 left two of his bodyguards dead. (Ynet) AND - Report: Saboteurs attack Egypt-Israel gas pipeline Published: 02.05.11, 09:20 / Israel News Share on TwitterShare on Facebook share Saboteurs blew up a pipeline that runs through Egypt's North Sinai and supplies gas to Israel, state television reported on Saturday, although it was not immediately clear what impact the blast had on gas flows. "Saboteurs took advantage of the security situation and blew up the gas pipeline," a state television correspondent reported, saying there was a big explosion. He also blamed the blast on "terrorists". (Reuters) -COMMENT - The Fallacy of The Liberal Democrats - The Usefull Idiots - is They dont have any Genuin Faith in the Opposite Existens of, the Ultimate Good and Evil, GOD and the Devil. Bouth the GOOD and the EVIL Ones understand this struggle for Supremacy of this Opposites though. But the Usefull Idiots They think eveythin is a Missconception between Humans, and everything can bee settled by Negotiations. To try to Reconsile Bouth Opposites in the Humanitarian way of the Useful Idiots, Requires a Doubble - Nature, and therefore this Hypocrisy. ( We saw this latest in the Case of Yugoslavia). GOD bevere us, from the Usefull Idots, they are more Dangerous than the Evil Ones. Orao.Srbia.
46. #44 Vardina
Marcella   (02.05.11)
Thank you for your kind words, Vardina. My thanks also go to the Jews of Israel who are fighting to save what's left of the country after giving up the Sinai. What I know about the Holocaust is enough for me to feel disgust for arrogant foreign leaders who dare to dictate orders to Israelis to give up more land and to put the lives of Israeli Jews and the very existence of the country at risk. I hope that Israeli leaders and citizens will take this opportunity to strongly demand recognition of their DEMOCRATIC RIGHT to reject partition.
