31. Obama
Vera ,   USA   (05.21.11)
How can a man that does not know how to lead his OWN country tell another country what to do ?????
32. Barack H.Osama
Samuel ,   Yavne, Israel   (05.21.11)
The world leaders should revise their history.Israel did not wake up one fine morning and started occuping & capturing territories.All the Arab nations eg.Egypt Jordan & Syria joined together with sheer hatred just to destroy Israel. The UN withdrew their troops thus giving the Arab armies the green light to attack Israel.At that time Palestine did not exist & no territories of theirs were captured. So you see,only with the G_ds help Israel destroyed all the three large armies within six hours."Long live Israel-Amen".
33. Obama spinning like a top!
Kevin ,   USA   (05.21.11)
So, let me get this straight... Obama speaks 5/19, clearly states that the peace talks between Israel and the terrorists STARTS at pre war 1967 borders. Netanyahu comes to town, gives the student a history lesson and NOW WH press secretary Carney sqys Obama didn't mean what he said?? What antisemitic JOKE we have in the WH, shameful!
34. Chemistry indeed
Zvi ,   Los Angeles. USA   (05.21.11)
Frankly who cares about what British newspapers think! Some British papers once endorsed Neville Chamberlain's handling of the Munich/Sudenten crlsis in 1938 and denounced Churchill. Oh the stupidity of it all! Congratulations to Mr Netanyahu for drawing a line right now. The world would care little if the Jewish state were destroyed. G-d forbid! It would be our sorrow and ours alone! Remember Zukor. We must guard the one and only Jewish state. The French Vichy helped the nazi beasts send our children to death camps while the British would not let the Struma land in Palestine! The Allies could not spare the bombs to attack the gas chambers in Auschwitz. FM Abba Eban called the 1967 lines "the Auschwitz borders" because they were indefensible and invited attack. And what he termed the Arab attempt at politicize -- the murder of a sovereign state. I'll take what FM Eban said ANY DAY over what Obama and some newspapers say! Am Yisrael chai!
35. The Guardian is a biased source
DavidM ,   USA   (05.21.11)
The Guardian should not be deemed a reliable source for anything about the middle east. The Guardian is notoriously hostile to Israel and is a part of the anti-Israel movement. The Guardian's pages are filled with anti-Israel venom every day.
36. BIBI is destroying Israel
sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (05.21.11)
He should of kept his mouth shut. Now the Arabs and the true Israeli haters will capitalize on the rift between the 2 leaders and the one that has to lose the most is Israel. America is in North America, however Israeli's have to live amongst the Arabs in the Middle East.
37. Awkward moments
Texan   (05.21.11)
This picture said million words !!! Go B.B stay Strong speak you mind you are representive of all AM YISRAEL we are all PROUD of YOU.....
38. There is no need for chemistry
Brod ,   USA   (05.21.11)
When the other side is an ideologue devoid of history and reality, and acts as a buldozer to ramp on Israel, there is NO need for chemistry.
39. U.S. press praising Bibi, not so much Obama
Yael ,   Tel Aviv   (05.21.11)
This article was neither news nor unbiased. Major media outlets in the U.S., including those usually sympathetic to Obama noted that Bibi won this one, hands down and came off much better than Obama did.
40. what would you expect fromthe new muslim memmber of the...
sean ,   UK   (05.21.11)
Arab League????????? There are more muslims in the UK than in jordan and lebanon combained. LOL
41. New situation hard to digest
Dr D ,   Jerusalem   (05.21.11)
Israel and the USA have just lost a very close ally that Mubarak was. Turkey and Russia just jumped in and they are trying to assume a role as mediators in the ME. An additional month or so of assessing and understanding would have help .
42. It is not chemistry - Obama cannot read the Bible
Jouko ,   Finland   (05.21.11)
Primeminister Netanyahu and president Obama both claim to believe in the Bible but pres. Obama and pres. Carter share the same problem - they cannot read or understand the Jewish Bible namely Old Testament! So simple is the problem! Republican presidents usually are more truthfull readers of the Bible.
43. Bravo Bibi! You are now acting like a true Prime Minister..
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (05.21.11)
...of an independent, sovereign Jewish State of Israel - the birthplace, the ancient, original and historical homeland of the Jewish people.
44. Bibi...1<<<>>>Obummer...0
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.21.11)
So far so good...
45. BiBi should run in 2012
Charlie ,   La Grande, Oregon   (05.21.11)
We are searching long form birth certificates in Hawaii for proof of citizenship. Even a fake one will suffice or we would welcome a trade, one Bibi for a Barack and a Joe and throw in Pelosi as a bonus.
46. Chemistry?Obama does not share any with anyone in Europe...
Anna M Sedda ,   Rome-Italy   (05.21.11)
...not surprise it does not share any with Israel...let's face it:Obama has little chemistry in any EU Countries,in the States even less,his smiles are all fake,his visions..well...he does not have any vision !except eletroVisions,meaning extraterrestrial visions...his visions do not belong to down-to earth people,he dreams....Obama the visioneless man,like see on television !!!!!!!!Get rid of this crappy vision man...
47. Obama does not come from privilege.
noa ,   israel   (05.21.11)
He has only worked very hard all his life. No one has been able to dig up anything criminal or dishonest about him. Everyone can disagree about his policies, but no one can agree that he is dishonest.
48. I don't know about others but speaking
Moragh   (05.21.11)
of myself I can tell that Obama is bluffing by the way he opens and closes his mouth when he speaks. It is clip and klar how he opens and closes it. He is bluffing constantly and trying to make hsispeech acceptable. I can spot these `halunkas` a mile off!
49. riva Jerusalem # 8
lil 'ole me   (05.21.11)
Let's face it, Obama is a failure and he knows it. For the life of him, he cannot make a speech and I for One can tell immediately when he's bluffing. His talk to the cameras was 'not so well' practiced and he succeeded in making an idiot of himself like always. His posing in front of the cameras is not practiced enough. Poor Obbie. It would be better he left now before he is REALLY brought down in further speeches. He just doesn't have a clue, does he!
50. #15 Aren't you forgetting some things?
solomon ,   bklyn   (05.21.11)
Obama also said that going to the UN is a waste, and that Hamas cannot be part of an agreement. You should either remember everything he said, or nothing; don't ignore inconvenient facts as you usually do.
51. TO#13 BELGIUM AND ENGLAND
LARRY ,   US ARMY RETIRED   (05.22.11)
TO 13 HOW MANY JEWS DID YOUR COUNTRY PUSH TO YOUR NAZI MASTERS IN WW2 ? KISS THE NEXT AMERICAN GI AND SAY THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY COUNTRYS ASS. TO ENGLAND GIVE BACK THE NORTH IRISH LAND YOUR COUNTRY SHOPLIFTED THEN YOU MAY HAVE A RIGHT TO TAKE PART IN ANY MIDEAST SIDE YOUR NATION. DID NOTHING TO BOMB THE DEATH CAMPS .YOU DID EVERY THING POSSIBLE TO STOP THE JEWS FROM RECEIVING ARMS AND DISPLACED JEWS IN 1947
52. Obama Listen
yigal ,   zefat   (05.22.11)
Obama Listen carefully if you do trouble the people of Israel you we will be in danger. Who made trouble for the people of Israel fell. the land of Israel that the people of Israel we have the God Analevhim gave us the whole land of Israel, and the last to tell us where to go. seen a case to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and God punished him so take care of yourself and stay out of the people of Israel who will make trouble The people of Israel God punishes him. land of Israel forever you last tell us what to do
53. CHEMISTRY ?? WHAT NONSENSE
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (05.22.11)
Netanyahu and Obama are not getting married ,so chemistry is neither here nor there. Obama thought he could treat Netanyahu ,and by extension Israel ,like a piece of dirt but Netanyahu taught him otherwise.
