1. Still pushing this Pollard routine?
Cameron ,   USA   (04.05.11)
2. If Obama Gives Up This Traitor .....
World Citizen ,   the world   (04.05.11)
You Know He Is Desparate For Jewish Campaign Money. He's already a pariah in his own country with little chance of getting re-elected. He has lost the vote of the people who elected him to take them out of the proxy wars the Americans are fighting for Israel. If he only had a backbone he'd have Peres arrested for being a war criminal and throw him into a gaol cell next to Pollard.
3. #1
JJ ,   USA   (04.05.11)
Pushing? This issue should be resolved already by the undocumented one! H'es going to lose alot of liberal Jewish money if he doesn't!! Secondly, Peres came to discuss Iran, is he for real. The Kenyan has obviously been protecting Iran and its proxy Syria from the start, why else would they not have worked with Israel to rid ourselves of the little Haman and the overgrown turkey Assad? Kaddafi, is a threat to its citizens, not the little Haman or the overgrown turkey and handsome Arab Assad!! But, delusional Israeli leaders think that America loves them!! Cant get better than this.

MG ,   NEW JERSEY, USA   (04.05.11)
Why do you think that the wars in Afganistan and Iraq are proxy wars for Israel. At least in the case of Iraq one can make a case that Israel at least benefited indirectly from the weakening of a Middle Eastern Arab military power - but Afganistan???
5. To #2
Maurice ,   Los Angele, USA   (04.05.11)
He is only asking to rectify the disproportionate sentence that Mr. Pollard has received. He has served well beyond what any other convicted spy has served for the same crime and those other spies were from hostile countries.
6. #3 JJ, Hating the U.S.A.
Michael ,   California, USA   (04.05.11)
What in the world can bring a man to be so hateful (no, it cannot be a woman!), so unfair, so desperate for a place to spit his venom? You come to this TB dominated by Israeli right wing consisting of people who couldn't take the American egalitarian life, the American democracy, the American dream. Together you hate Obama because he is Black and has an Muslim middle name. Obama pays no attention to fifth columnists like you and is doing the best he can as a President of a county in economic transition. His popularity has climbed to 54%, as published last week by Gallup, which is better than Bush's (both) and Clinton's at this time in their presidencies. If the economic crisis continues to abate in the U.S. Obama will easily win reelection next year. American Jews will vote for him because he is liberal and because Obama is good for Israel in his desire to bring peace to the Middle East. I hope he will become convinced by Shimon Peres to pardon Jonathan Pollard. It would be wonderful to see Gilead Shalit released also.
7. Obama Talking Peace to Wrong Side
emanon ,   USA   (04.05.11)
It is the arabs that do not want peace, not Israel. Time and again, the arabs have targeted markets, nightclubs, buses and other civilian gathering places. Time and again, they have launched rockets and mortars at civilian targets. That is proof of their intentions.
8. To # 2 and # 6
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (04.05.11)
So it's the rightists who dominate the TB? Maybe, just maybe that Israel, Israelis and Jews in general are sick and bored of leftist self hate, anti Israel bias and true desire to look "as american as possible"???? Ever thought about that? Peres is what is left of the black history of Israel, Obama is what was necessary to awake true americans. Please just get lost in the past where you belong!

12. # 6
Birdi ,   Israel   (04.06.11)
You come to this forum trying so hard to shove Obama down our throats. No Michael, Obama is not good for Israel. Obama is good for the Palestinians. Michael you should realize that Obama cannot force Israel & the Palestinians to make peace, not now, not ever. Jersualem will not be divided, the Golan will not be returned & the citizens of Israel will never vote to vacate Judea & Samaria. Israel is a democratic sovereign state. We Israelis have our own dreams, we dont need nor desire your America dream !
13. and we here in the usa want him deeply out of office too.
(04.06.11)
so the next time ask him when he is stepping down fomr usa office, or shout out now nobama!! and lets start up a campaign to give away the lousiana purchase BACK TO THE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS AS WE STOLE IT FROM THEM to make way for country stores and anglo people. heck, we can ask cant we?
14. to#6
Jennie ,   US/Israel   (04.06.11)
Great post, Birdi ! You told it like it is to all the jj's and the "blleding hearts", who can't see, that their liberalism is what is being used most by the "brothers"to destroy us. And the only deterrence to them so far is the barricade of the Right movement...In the bottle field, in the Parlament, in the Knesset, on the streets and on the Ynet...
15. To #9 Sam
Rachel ,   US   (04.06.11)
So I guess Amanda Knox helps delegitimize the US?
16. Barakeh Hussein Obama
felix ,   Jerusalem ,israel   (04.06.11)
Mr Obama is the first anti-american president ever and an occult but bitter ennemy of the state of Israel;As such he is not welcome in this country by the majority of the Israeli people who pray God he will not be reelected again ! Peres and Nethanyahu- must play the game.ALL what Mr Obama wants is to justify the Nobel price that he earned(The same could be said about Mr Peres) and for that purpose , he is trying by every possible mean to pressure Israel to make terrible concessions that would greatly endanger the very survival of the tiny jewish state in this tumultuous region of the world.Right now ,He is playing it gentle because of the coming presidential elections.By the way , he remembers to come here only before general elections when he badly needs Jewish votes and money .The very first day after his reelection (GOD FORBIDS), he will show his true face again!What kind of an american president and of an american patriot he is - that does not even try to move a finger to help the demonstrators against the axis of evil regimes of Syria and Iran- the very same regimes that are trying to destroy the western civilisation ?And on the other hand callously betrayed Mubarak who was the most faithful and reliable friend and ally of the west among the Arabs ?
17. Obama
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (04.06.11)
Obama is a failure who was so blinded by his hatred for the Jews that he critically damaged American interests. To prove he is a big man, he started an illegal war to replace Gaddafi. No matter how you look at it, ordering his forces to attack a sovereign country for no reason makes him a war criminal. #6: The more than 6000 Afghan civilians butchered by Obama in Afghanistan and inciting a revolution to steal Libya's oil from its citizens has nothing to do with his middle name and no one in Israel cares that Obama pretends to be an Afro-american.
18. Rejecting Two State Final Solution more urgent than ever.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.06.11)
We all know where this is leading. Obama tells us it is "more urgent than ever" to cede our sole tiny Homeland to "Palestinian" poseurs. He is preparing to put major pressure on Israel. In fact, it is more urgent than ever for Israel to strongly reject the evil Two State Final Solution. Obama's favorability numbers are the lowest yet. Working with our many Republican friends in Congress, we can easily foil Obama's plans to render Israel defenseless. Now is the time to give Obama the "NO" that is so badly needed.
19. Radical Islam is the problem
Yehoshua Zionist ,   earth   (04.06.11)
It does not matter what these two gentlemen say or do. Radical Islam will never accept the State of Israel. Comrade Barack Hussein Obama has to sit down with the radical Islamists and ask for a dramatic proposal. And we know that never will happen. Right now you have both Hamas and Fatah who specifically say in their charters that they want to kill the Jews and liberate the land from the river to the sea. Comrade Barack Hussein Obama needs to sit down with these entities and say you must remove your hate from your charters. But this will never happen as Comrade Hussein is a radical, progressive, socialist, Muslim Who has surrounded himself with Israel/Jew haters. Samantha Power is his future Secretary of State and look what her writings have said about Israel.
20. HERE IN THE USA, OUR CONSTITUTION DOES NOT
acer ,   san fran   (04.06.11)
DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN A JOSEPH, ARIEL, OR MOHAMMED.. IF OUR PRESIDENT HAS A MOSLEM MIDDLE NAME, SO BE IT.. THIS IS WHAT MADE US AMERICA.. THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY IS.. UNLIKE WHAT WE CALL OUR CLOSEST ALLY, WHO BASICALLY IS ONE OF THE LAST RACIST COUNTRIES STANDING, AN ALLY WHOSE CITIZENS HAVE NOTHING BUT HATE TO SPEW ON ANYONE WHO DOES NOT AGREE TO THEIR AGENDAS. WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, PRESIDENT BARAK HUSSAIN OBAMA IS OUR COMMANDER IN CHIEF AND IT IS OUR DUTY TO SUPPORT HIM.. LONG LIVE AMERICA, LONG LIVE FREEDOM, LONG LIVE DEMOCRACY..
21. israeli concessions are highly unlikely
sweeter than honey ,   far away   (04.06.11)
as long as so much of the world, which obama is well aware of (and perhaps a little weary of too), has been, and or is, so against israel. or to put it another way, if israel had absolutely no security concerns, if...
22. Obama does not let pictures of him looking at Peres to be ta
Keren ,   IL-BR   (04.06.11)
Obama does not let pictures of him looking at Peres to be taken. And that's because his looking is an evil looking;a looking not convenient to be pictured and shown to public. I dont like Obama,frankly.
23. A fake peace is much better
Ypip ,   Canada   (04.06.11)
while he resolves his deficit.
24. HEY, OBAMA!!!
Israeli 2   (04.06.11)
First, release Pollard. Second, get re-elected (if you can). Third, let's PERHAPS talk about Peace process.
25. Obama's wrong move
Brod ,   USA   (04.06.11)
Obama should be preaching to the Islamist-Jihadist usurpers, aggressors, terrorists and belligerents trying to usurp Israel's liberated historic homeland of Judea and Samaria-Land of Israel, instead of preaching to Israel. The Islamist-Jihadists do not know peace because "there is no surah called 'Peace.' Jihad and killing are the head of Islam. I you take them out, you cut off the head of Islam." (p.24, "Islam and Terrorism" by Mark A. Gabriel, PhD).
26. To # 18 Chaim - Totally Agree
Rachel ,   US   (04.06.11)
27. #2,3,6 - You guys deserve Obama!
Mike ,   Oxford UK   (04.06.11)
and all the sorrows he will bring you
28. OBama
Kutcher ,   NY USA   (04.06.11)
Everyone knows that Obama is a feeble, ill equipped, phony. Where do we begin. He went to Harvard Law. Come on. He can't produce one thing that he wrote as president of the law review there.Have you ever seen or heard a Harvard Law grad read from a teleprompter so much that he needed one when visiting a kidergarten? He also speaks like a Harvard Law grad with his "somethins" and knowledge of all "56 states he has to visit." Then there's the birth certificate issue, or should we say his lack of one! Why not just produce it? His family members are confused too. What hospital was he born in? No doctor or nurse that we can speak to or anyone alive from that time when he was born. I guess they're all dead. He looks so uncomfortable like he's living the worlds biggest scam and trying to get away with it again!! The media will try very hard and I guess theres still alot of Jewish money out there to help. He better get the liberal Jewish money because the goyim wont give him a cent!
29. Don't Believe Obama
Dan ,   USA   (04.06.11)
If Peres believes anything Obama says, Israel should never let Peres out of the country.
30. #7 we don't want peace? israel doesn't want peace, it just
masrawy ,   egypt   (04.06.11)
wants us to give up if they really wanted peace they would have stopped settlements as for the attacks israel started them and hamas has the right to defend itself
