31. Thank you American Jews
Georges Bruno ,   EU and North America   (05.20.11)
for you support of Democratic candidate Obama. Time to circle the wagons and do a deal with our Republican friends.
32. Obama has shown his true colours
Spencer ,   Israel   (05.20.11)
There is now no doubt about it. Obama is totally anti Israel. and pro-Muslim But I suppose that this was to be expected bearing in mind that he was brought up as a Muslim and his middle name is Hussein. Unil he came into office I would guess that Carter was the worst President of the USA vis a vis Israel but at least he was pro America. Obama has shown that not only is he anti Israel, but he is anti American as well. All he wants to do is appease the Muslims (the radical ones) and he's prepared to do this at the expense of the USA and also at the expense of the very few friends of the USA that the USA can count on. To sum up, Barak HUSSEIN Obama is a complete disaster both for the USA and the whole of the free world.
33. But he will get 5 bln from Soros
Moshe ,   Netanya   (05.20.11)
Money talks
34. "occupation"
mary of Bethany ,   singapore   (05.20.11)
"occupation" is the sole word that Summarized what Pres Husein Osama said yesterday regarding Israel. this one word keep jump up often in his whole speech whenever regarding the Israelis. so may the Occupation of White House end, with the Occupier shove off back to Indonesia, let the White House return to pre 20 Jan 2009 state.
35. The 67 border & the housing shortage
EM ,   Jeru, Israel   (05.20.11)
Two things come to mind = Obama's speech re 67 borders, and Israel's housing shortage - how exactly would this work out?! The Israeli gov't proved it's incompetence with the evacuees of Gush Katif - Bibi should stand behind his "NO" to the 67 borders!
36. Netanyahu's "reality"
Michael ,   Haifa   (05.20.11)
The only Middle-Eastern reality for Netanyahu is holding his crazy coalition together.
37. My father taught me a very good lesson !
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (05.20.11)
Give a thief enough rope, he will eventually hang himself. I believe that is exactly what Obama is doing. He is hanging himself, either on his stupidity or conspiracy. Kudos to the talkbackers that realize this. Please don't vote him back into presidential office - even if there is no one else that seems suitable - just not this creep.
38. There are 80 million people in Egypt alone.
noa ,   israel   (05.20.11)
The mob is mostly for breaking the present faulty peace with Israel. Mobs are unruly, uncontrollable. The biggest tool extremists have is hate for the U.S. By removing the reason for the hate, Obama is disenabling those forces, and act which can only be good for Israel and the rest of the world in the long run. We do not exist alone here, and just like he said, our place in the world is a very tenuous one.
39. Obama has not been a friend of Israel, instead he has been
Jehudah ,   USA   (05.20.11)
hostile to the national home of the Jewish people perhaps more than any other President during the past 63 years of Israel's existence. He may know how to wrap, for political purposes, his deeply rooted hostility to the Jewish state, and some actually believe him, but hostile he is. Jews, it is high time we recognize it and act accordingly. It is time for a change!!
40. Friends
Miriam M. ,   Petach Tikva   (05.20.11)
Obama is not a friend of ours, but Glenn Beck is!!
41. obama has killed the chance for peace
Michael   (05.20.11)
Not Bibi. Obama has given Israel's bargaining chip away. In addition Obama speaks nicely, bu not recognizing previous signed agreements(such as President Bush's letter) this shows the United States can't be an honest broker and therefore lost its relevancey in the Peace Process and killed the peace process . By giving the Palestinians' everything they want for nothing. there is nothing Israel can offer except to leave and that is not happening.
42. Obama is a radical
S Benard ,   Bountiful, USA   (05.20.11)
People must begin to recognize that Obama's background is that of a radical revolutionary. His support for revolution in Arab countries will result in war, $300 crude oil, and gas and eventually food rationing in America. Obama is the most catastrophic error of our generation! He is the Deceiver in Chief. American Jews, wake up! Obama is NOT your friend!
43. The USA should give Texas back to Mexico (or just shut up)
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (05.20.11)
44. Gloomy prospect
Alexandre Chinovich   (05.20.11)
The USA under Obama betray their allies. After Mubarak, the turn comes to Israel. It's terrible to think what this president with his Muslim origin and antisemitic upbringing will do after his re-election.
45. one too many times
JOAN ,   USA   (05.20.11)
what the Palestinian Authority had given to Israel for disengagement from Gaza? What WEKILEAKS documents revealed about the negotiations of 2008? Israel has made concessionsbut again Abbas said - Noooooo. After Netanyahu froze settelments Abbas continued to demand and for 10 long months did'nt want to even meet with Netanyahu and i'm not talking about nego..... Obama is clearly biased against Israel. I think the leftist media influences him. Too many times the ball was on the field of PLA and still everyone chose to blame israel.
46. #20 Which law??
Phil ,   Ireland   (05.20.11)
Stop throwing around statements without knowing the facts. Quote the law you claim Israel violates. It does not exist. You are just repeating propaganda.
47. Obama and Egypt, Obama and Israel
Eric ,   USA   (05.20.11)
Looking at the way that Obama talked to Egypt during the uprising, it must be noticed that Obama was careful to praise the uprising in fear that it would fail. Alongside that, he also spoke against the quick action of ousting the president of Egypt. However, when it soon became clear that the tides were moving with the citizens and not Mubarak, he quickly joined that side. Should Israeli's be worried that if the tide starts moving, as it has been with the rest of the world, toward Palestinian aspirations instead of Israel's basic right to exist, Obama won't call for a rethinking of America's friendship with Israel? I certainly fear for the long standing relationship that Obama is now jeopardizing. First, long time ally Turkey and now the US. I find it a very disheartening and scary period for the Isreali Foreign Ministry. Lieberman certainly isn't up to the job, so find someone who is.
48. Obama's speech
Dr. R. Grynpas ,   Brussels, Belgium   (05.20.11)
As all the left, Obama is blinded by its cognitive dissonance. This makes the left immoral.
49. President for the wrong reason
Reuven ,   Israel   (05.20.11)
Obama was voted in for the wrong reason - BECAUSE he is Black - by all those bleeding hearts, who admit it, and for those that don't, it holds true anyway. His unsuitability for the job repeatedly resurfaces. He does not understand the Mid East.
50. Fear not, for Glenn Beck wants to be Israel's savior!
dickerson3870 ,   Atlanta, Georgia USA   (05.20.11)
51. US jews who voted for Obama should be ashame
dovdevan ,   paris,tel aviv   (05.20.11)
if israel come back to the 1967 borders we will see rockets on ben gurion airport as well as in tel aviv ! obama did'nt even mention the fatah-hamas agreement as if it wasn't a problem !
52. bibi aids on obamas speech
ron ,   israel jerusalem   (05.20.11)
The one who did not graso Reality in m.e. is bibi,not obama.obama couragely put forward his vision,he is the one who leads.bibi is merely reduced to a puppet lost sight and vision of the tasks at hand.obama1 bibi 0
53. Obama is flirting with Arab mob.
Norman Beck ,   Ottawa, Canada   (05.20.11)
Even Russians - former masters of populist talk and sedition - are cautious this time. Shame on America with such a president!
54. obama
naor ,   jerusalem   (05.20.11)
What is all this nonsense Talk about?obama does not understand m.e.? Who actually understands the m.e.? We ,who are living here do not understand it.who of all the wisectackers believed A popular uprising being possible in arab countries? We are actually for decades involved in tribal warfare,real estate deals and corruption.we are electing substandatd leaders,lacking courage and vision(those who had got killed or have benn forced out of office).we are wrapping ourselves with satisfaction in our ecconomiv achievements and blinding ourselves with hi_tec achievements. Mentally we are on a egocentric trip to nowhere.thanks god there is an obama around .
55. We Love Israel!
Shawna Rhyne ,   Boone, NC   (05.20.11)
Unfortunately, we are saddled with a president who knows no Biblical truth. He does not speak for America. The overwhelming majority of Americans see the Jewish people and the land of Israel as the Apple of God's eye. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the safety of all her people. God Bless you. Please pray that the liberals in our country are ALL voted out of office in 2012!!!!!!!!!
56. Moshe Dayan & Levi Eshkol
Joe ,   New York, USA   (05.20.11)
How would Moshe Dayan & Levi Eshkol react to this? They are both gone so with no one to replace them in this modern manless society? I know they would not be running to the White House with hat-in-hand. They would stay in israel and dictate the terms as they did in 67. The Jews of America have betrayed Israel with their votes and money, and they will do so once again.
57. Obama's speech
one way street ,   USA   (05.20.11)
President Obama is going down a one-way street to catastrope and he will not turn back. He is proud, egotistical and full of hate. Real Friends Obama for the Brits and Israelis, Our allies, has some enmities. He doesn't follow Yule, Half the golden rule, And that half is he loves our enemies. So he talks to the Brits perforce, To China and Brazil till he's hoarse. With Mid-East he confabs And to Russia he blabs; With Israel he has intercourse.
58. #43
B Matlock ,   Texas   (05.20.11)
Texas is not the US's to give back. We were an independent nation before joining the US by Treaty. We were also deceived as our borders have not been protected by the US government. Now California,Arizona and the western part of New Mexico were spoils of war and should be returned to Mexico if Obama is being honest.
59. concessions
jebbe ,   buffalo, usa   (05.20.11)
comment # 43: Obama would like nothing better than to give Texas to Mexico, with California and Arizona thrown into the bargain. Hence, his pandering to illegal Mexican aliens. You notice he offers no such deals to illegal aliens from other countries. Know that there are those in the USA that do side with Israel, but until Jewish US citizen quit supporting the left, nothing will change. Stand strong.
60. Obama
Stann ,   USA   (05.20.11)
As an Americna, I appologize for what this farce of a president has done. He is not only clueless about running our country, he is clueless about how the world works. Sadly, he has not limited the damage to the idiots who voted him in. Happily, we will get rid of this joke next year. Please continue to hang tough until then, Israel, we will try to get an intelligent, non-pompous and self-delusional LEADER into the White House and get this idiot out.
