(02.18.11)
Obama was born in Hawaii ...and if you don't know Hawaii is part of USA .
32. To #20 and all alike minded people
Tom W. ,   Windsor, Canada   (02.18.11)
First, I doubt you are Jewish because if you were, you should know that you’re making up facts! The laws of the Torah are explicitly laid out and you are not allowed to add nor subject (Deuteronomy 4:2 & 13:1) from what is written in it! You are adding a fabrication about sharing the land of Canaan, so the Torah has given us a guide about people such as yourself, I refer to Deuteronomy 29:15 – 19! You don’t speak for me, no sir; you cling to your false beliefs seeking refuge among the anti-Semites of the world. But ironically, by going against your own people and not abiding by Israel’s covenant with G-d, you’ll only endure G-d’s wrath! And that’s from a true Jewish Canadian.
33. something's wrong with this picture
Anon ,   SA   (02.18.11)
The ME is erupting in violent demonstrations to overthrow dictators and Obama is splitting hairs with a non leader of a non country over construction of settlements?????
34. Re: UNSC Vote
Reuven Boruch ,   NYC, USA   (02.18.11)
American media is not covering this story at all... This is a critical issue, and the US media is MIA..... I''ve tried to E mail as many Pro-Israel Advocates as possible to get them to create a public outcry.... President Obama needs to veto this proposal. Nothing short of that is acceptable.
35. To: No. 26
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.18.11)
He claims to have been born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4, 1961, yet has been unable to produce a birth certificate. Funnily enough, there is a register of birth of one Barack Hussein Obama in Nairobi, Kenya, on August 4, 1961. He also has said that his record of birth was lost in the tsunami following the great Alaska Earthquake of March 27, 1964. Except that the tsunami following the Great Alaska Earthquake affected Hilo, not Honolulu. Obama is a fraud. Of course, what YOU think, doesn't matter, because you are a citizen of the U.K., and you vote there. I am a citizen of the United States. I vote in the U.S., and your opinion is entirely irrelevant to me. Go sew some pearls on the lovely dress you plan to wear to the royal wedding. Pass your time doing something -- er -- useful that doesn't strain your -- er -- intellect.
36. To: Howard K at No. 21
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.18.11)
The ersatz "Palestinians" declared independence in 1988. Yawn.
37. To: No. 20
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.18.11)
Care to tell us how Israeli settlements built on nonsovereign land acquired by Israel in the course of fighting a DEFENSIVE war are illegal?
38. The US is STILL not supporting a Palestinian state, why??
christianpalestinian ,   las vegas, nevada   (02.18.11)
The US has become a sinking ship in today's world, mainly because of its blind support for israel. Enough already. Obama must support the resolution based on principles and morals!
39. Two Wanna Bees
Jeff Beck ,   Florida   (02.18.11)
Stirring up the nest. What a joke, one so-called pres who more than half of America believes he is a foriener who what brought into leadeership by Far Left and another guy who thinks he is President of a peoples they claim are Palestinians yet all Spiritual leaders of the Arab World know that there is No Such Thing as a Pal. Then the UN who has the odacity to protray themselves as a bias enity yet Murder and Mayham follows their every step. No wonder the people are exploding on the arab side and soon to be, on the west side as were sure as hell are not going to let these idiots creat WW3
40. #17, Jews and Blacks were universally for Obama
Danny   (02.18.11)
and his approval figures are still abysmal - quite rightly as the guy has repeatedly shown he is incompetent.
41. # 26
Birdi ,   Israel   (02.18.11)
There is no birth certifiace saying Obama was born in Hawaii. There is no birth certificate,period.
42. #11 - Obama was born in Hawaii
Harmen ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (02.18.11)
Dear Sarah B, Obama was born in Hawaii, which is part of the United States. See for instance Wikipedia. Please check your assumptions before posting them.
43. So logical no.25...
Faraz ,   Meldreth,UK   (02.18.11)
So you are saying that if someone came and threw you off your land in Brazil, kept you from returning and fathered children there, then you would simply shrug your shoulders and say: "Well they call it home now, so off I trot...." - grow up and stop talking BS yourself.
44. Obama is a victim of his own making
palidov ,   kiev   (02.18.11)
There is lots of talk and lots of criticism about Israel building settlements outside their national borders. Even Israeli courts have ruled that at least part of the land used belongs to Palestinians. It would be useful to find out exactly who supports settlements and who does not. America has always indicated that they opposed settlements, but, since Obama personally criticized settlements last year, he has completely changed his position. It would be interesting and enlightening to see what, if anything, Obama would say as part of his vote for or against settlements. The only way to find out is to proceed with the vote.
45. Obama, as Abbas, is inherently anti-Jewish racist in that...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (02.18.11)
...both insist that Jews, only because they are Jewish, must not reside in certain villages, towns and even city neighborhoods. In the PA, legally, an Arab is punishable by death for selling real estate to Jews...!! But in the US, such racism is illegal! Shouldn't Obama, at least ethically, apply himself to the same concept of lack of discrimination against Jews, especially in the Jewish people's homeland and cradle of Jewish civilization...??!!
46. Israel is a Burden,always will .
joe ,   USA   (02.18.11)
America's old policies is going down the tube with the uptising in the Measet . Israel need to sign the 2002 peace deal and cut the Umbilical cord from America . leave us alone guys .
47. Veto is a big Mistake
Matt ,   USA   (02.18.11)
it shows that this administration still think that Mubarak is still ruling Egypt . a veto is a huge mistake and a wrong message to 300 mils arab and 1.5 billion Muslims . a veto will re-confirm to the world that Israel is the main source of troubles in the ....world .
48. Apparently so.
Avi ,   NYC, USA   (02.18.11)
49. Obama rising the flag of blue red and green stars AND MOONS?
mary of Bethany ,   singapore   (02.18.11)
so the sun is really setting on the flag of blue and red and stars yeah? are you running your country as if you are adding green into your flag and changing the stars quieting into crescent moons!!!!! UN is just bowing down to its members which are either from the Arab League or worshipers of Arab Oil, thus the majority are not always right? is America going to still glorify G-D by standing up alone to face injustice or simply bowing down to the majority wrongs. Before you are financially bankrupt, you'll be spiritually and morally bankrupt soon. Dear Mr Obama, your presidency may just last 4 years, but what is written in modern American history book last forever. Above all what is written in the Book of Apple of G-D's Eyes, (if you are real christians, you should know who are the Apples of G-d's Eyes)! Take Heed, beware!
50. Before your eyes, Gog U Magog
Joseph   (02.18.11)
51. Either way, the settlements will not cease to exist.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (02.18.11)
They have more legitimacy than "Palestine", which never existed in the first place, as an Arab nation, at any rate.
52. Obama supposedly went to an Ivy League school...
(02.18.11)
so how is it that none of his classmates can remember him??
53. Glad that Ileana Ros-Lehtinen doesn't represent my district
Hostage   (02.18.11)
She's an idiot
54. If Obama had his way, no Jews would reside in Jerusalem,
Nahum Golan ,   Israel   (02.18.11)
in any part of Jerusalem, since Mr. Barackah Hussein Obama, as his long time and close associate, Minister L. Farakhan, assumes Jerusalem, all of it, is an Islamic Waqf land in which Jews may not reside.
55. Thank you Ileana Ros-Lehtinen
Isaac   (02.18.11)
If Obama dares not to veto such a resolution, then he can kiss his re-election good-bye. In the US, we do NOT like how Obama has been treating Israel. It is shameful. We are grateful that the US has representatives like Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who demonstrate back-bone and courage. Thank you Ros-Lehtinen.
56. To: No. 42
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.18.11)
Then let him produce a birth certificate, which he has thus far failed to do. As it happens, he was born in Nairobi, Kenya, and raised in Indonesia. Please check your assumptions before posting them.
57. Stupidity
Gregory ,   Montreal, Canada   (02.18.11)
So, USA has a President who was not born in the country. He did not attend an Ivy League university. The authorities in the country allowed a fake US citizen with fake qualifications to lead one of the most powerful country on earth. Can you beat that? So, Sarah and #52, sure that your source of information is correct? Do you have insight to understand your stupidity???
58. To: No. 57
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.18.11)
Oh, he did go to the Ivy League. He attended Columbia University (he transferred in from some small college whose name escapes me), where he promptly became the president of the Moslem Students Association. He did attend Harvard Law School. But he did not make Law Review and he did not graduate at the top of his class. In fact, he was so far down at the bottom, he wasn't even recruited by ANY law firm! That's why he became a community organizer (which is American shorthand for rabble rouser). He is supposed to have been a lecturer in constitutional law, but to date, no school has come forwarrd to claim him as a former member of their faculty. Obama is black. The American people fell over themselves not wanting to appear racist, so they accepted Rahm Emanuel's spin -- and he can spin with the best of them; his brother is one of the biggest Hollywood spinners -- and convinced themselves that the emperor actually had clothes. He doesn't. Look at how Obama's approval and popularity ratings have plummeted. Rahm Emanuel jumped ship several months ago, as have quite a few others from the White House staff cadre. People have started to ask questions, do research .... and we aren't liking the answers. Most of the U.S. drank the Kool-Aid. Not me. I voted for the war hero.
59. #58
Gregory ,   Montreal, Canada   (02.18.11)
So, he attended Harvard. Wikipedia says that he graduated with a J.D. magna cum laude from Harvard in 1991 and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve years. Contradicts your version. So, next question, was he born outside the USA?
60. To: No. 59
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.18.11)
None of his Harvard classmates remember him, and Harvard -- great bastion of liberal thinking that it is -- refuses to confirm or deny. The University of Chicago Law School is one of the top law schools in the United States, and there is no record of him as a tenured member of faculty; not even as a lecturer. That, too, miraculously appeared in his biography. No wonder -- Rahm Emanuel crafted it -- and he has jumped ship. Do you remember what Emanuel said at the time he resigned -- "There's a limit to the amount of water I can carry for anyone." What I CAN tell you for certain is that someone graduating magna cum laude from Harvard Law School gets recruited by top-tier firms; especially at a time when law firms were anxious to recruit minorities. Obama never was recruited. See the problem? Think it might be part of a pattern? Are you a tad bit confused at how someone who was president of the Moslem Students Association turns into a self-professed Christian? Was he born outside the U.S.A.? There is a record of birth for a Barack Hussein Obama in Nairobi, Kenya, on the very day that Obama professes to have been born in Honolulu. Okay, Mr. President -- can we see your birth certificate? Alas and alack, the record of my birth was irretrievably lost in the tsunami which hit Hawaii following the Alaskan Earthquake of 1964. Well, Mr. President, you profess to have been born in Honolulu and the tsunami washed over Hilo. Oh, but Hilo is where all the records were kept .... it goes from the ridiculous to the sublime, Gregory. I was born in New York City, and I am pretty sure that the record of my birth is stored in New York City, not Buffalo. Too many questions; not enough answers. But the bottom line is that the American people are stuck with ineptitude in the White House, and that is not a good thing, particularly in these unsettling times. The entire administration is like a Keystone Kops episode, except we're talking about the United States at a time when the Middle East is going up in flames, so it isn't very funny at all.
