1. Just Say "No"
Mark of Lewiston ,   USA   (06.11.11)
That will simplify matters considerably. Toss in an insult or two about the PA unity government to stiffen their spines and get a done deal. The US will use its veto and cut off the PA and probably UNRWA, too. Europe will likely then follow the US lead, and the PA can be dissolved. Mission Accomplished.
2. I don't recall...
Adam ,   Golan Heights Israel   (06.11.11)
...electing the bumbler-in-chief of the US as the PM of Israel. We will not commit national suicide for this charlatan's re-election bid. We want peace, but we did not start numerous genocidal wars against the arabs. The arabs refused their state every time it was offered by the UN and by Israel. The arabs tried to destroy Israel many times, resulting in the arabs defeat each time. The arabs are serial agressors and losers. They do not get to make demands. Israel will carry on flourishing with or without peace, but without peace, the arabs will never flourish. It is an arab loss.
3. Peace talks going nowhere!
TJ ,   SA/USA   (06.11.11)
Peace talks going nowhere! Palestine will have to abandon the Hamas coaliton, give into Israel settlements, and recognize Israel as a jewish state or no peace talks! What are the chances???
4.  US: Israel must adopt Obama's vision
Avi ,   NY, NY   (06.11.11)
"MUST"..... or else what? tell Obama to go to hell
5. Please Don't
Carly ,   Omaha, USA   (06.11.11)
Do not give in to the liar in chief. He is obviously a muslim supporter and hates Jews. He CANNOT be trusted.
6. U.S. , be honest, withdraw your support of PA
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (06.11.11)
U.S. spokesman stated......." the US will withdraw its financial support of the Palestinian Authority if it includes Hamas in its government – as long as it persists in pursuing terror and refusing to recognize Israel. " The PA has already done everything to lose this U.S. support.
7. don't think so
Eyal ,   USA ISRAEL   (06.11.11)
Obama doesn't know sh#t when it comes to Israel or the ME. Please don't make Obama sound like he has a vision. The only vision he has is the destruction of Israel and the uprising of the Arab world he believes so much in.
8. Israel: Obama can go to hell
Sam ,   USA   (06.11.11)
Bibi: Just say NO
9. Just say NO!
Jim S ,   Tucson USA   (06.11.11)
No to 1967 borders No to a divided Jerusalem No to return of Palestinians Wait, I take that last one back. Yes to return of Palestinians. Return them to Jordan and all the other Arab countries they came from. Enough already of this " occupied territories" talk. It's all Israel now and forever.
10. vision
colin   (06.11.11)
Will somebody tell this american clerk to get stuffrd THERE IS NO 67 BORDERS The islamic vision is and has been the vision of all the islamic people with the coming of thier mohammed.
11. Netanyahu will not fail Palestine
Nour ,   One-State   (06.11.11)
At every turn and every corner, Bibi so loyally offers Palestine total service by rejecting peace. The PLO now has no justification for not filing the necessary paper work at the UNGA next month. Thanks Millikowsky.
12. Democracy, Obama style.
Tony   (06.11.11)
His vision ? you got to be kidding. Look at America, look where his tea leaves readings are taking us, with no end in sight. As the worst President ever to occupy the White house, he has played all his cards and has taken our America far away from our ' Fathers " intended destination. In trying to salvage what's left, he is sinking deeper and deeper into the quick sands of Washington politics.
13. Obama still does not get it.
leo ,   usa   (06.11.11)
14. Osama Obama can stick his vision....
YEA ,   USA/Israel   (06.11.11)
where the sun don't shine!!!!
15. not likely
Matt   (06.11.11)
They don't get it Netanyahu has backed everything on making Obama a one term President. You don't do what he has done and then accept Obama's position. He will wait until after 2012 to see who the President is. He turned Washington, (even Obama's own party), Jewish voters and money against Obama over a non issue. As we speak they are influencing Hispanic voters against Obama. African Americans have lost hope, Hollywood has turned on Obama, partly over Sudan and Darfur. Republican voters that voted for him will not again, it was just not Dr Rice and Colin Powell many run of the mill average Republicans voted for Obama. It is a gamble but Bibi rolled the dice.
16. Political Euthanasia ?Not This Century!
Erudite ,   Australia   (06.11.11)
17. LOL : )
Robert ,   farmington,wv   (06.11.11)
Ye we adopted his vision a couple of years ago. a better health care , a better economy , a stronger nation look where we are now , what a joke Obama needs to take care of america before he messes with israel. does simon have a learning problem what part of netanyahu speech did he not understand about the 1967 boarders i dont know what simon did before but he needs to go back to it. he has already shown he is not to smart..
18. #13 Sure, entire World does not get it
Wissam ,   Palestine   (06.11.11)
Only you are a genius, the rest of the World, Palestinians, the entire international community, are a bunch of 3-year olds, herd, sheep, etc. Same colonial mentality used since that terrorist Ben Gruen set foot on our lands. We get it, and will act accordingly to end your misery very soon with a a cocktail of BDS and diplomatic action.
19. Israel accepts talks based on June 10, 1967 lines
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (06.11.11)
All other lines are from '48 and can not be refereed to as '67 lines. How many times can Obama set up ridiculous conditions that ignore all of the agreements that his or previous US Presidents have made while expecting Israel to role over? Bush, Clinton, and Bush all included the no right to return to Israel as part of their '67 lines statements - Obama conveniently leaves that out. Obama says he will cut support for the PA and PLO if they join with Hamas prior to Hamas accepting the Quartet's 3 conditions - and then continues to support them in spite of the merger. Obama needs to understand he is out of touch with the Middle East and the USA - and this is costing people their lives.
20. American support of Israel?
LebanonPride ,   Canada   (06.11.11)
Why is it so many Americans feel they owe Israel? I don't get it... Obama, if you want peace negotiations to make ANY progress, stand up to Netanyahu! The PA already agreed to your offer! Israel has not!
21. who's who
Alexandre Chinovich   (06.11.11)
Mr. Barack Hussein Osama is the most dangerous enemy of Israel and Jews. He will start his second term in the White House with the sanctions and finish it with the bombardment.
22. USA MUST kick Husni's ass.Israel MUST be Arab-free, got it?
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.11.11)
23. Obama's vision doesn't even include a strong USA, so how the
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.11.11)
Hell does anyone expect it to include the Jews??!! Grow up dummies...
24. Why do we Americans support Israel?
BUILDING ISRAEL ,   United States   (06.11.11)
Because we are both founded on the same Judeo Christian ethos that binds us in liberty, human rights, the rights of the individual over the state and to live freely, with the guarantee of opportunity and bright hopes of a future. Your 'society' is too violent even for other muslims, they keep your 'people' in camps and brutalize them far worse than any others. It is, in short, the difference between your arab spring ( arab revolutions) and our ability( both Israel and the USA ) to change governments without bloodshed. I doubt this will help you 'get it' but, from where you are, you can dream for what other muslims dream of, liberty from oppression by their own leaders.
25. # 21 Alexandre, hold your horses.
BUILDING ISRAEL ,   United States   (06.11.11)
By your statement, you assume Obama will be reelected. Like an old professor once told me, "Don't assume, don't presume." Nasar once printed a victory stamp for the six day war he lost with Israel, and do you recall Truman holding a newspaper that had printed the headline, "Dewey wins"? Polls now indicate that Romney leads Obama...Don't your Canandian papers report that?
26. MUST? DEMAND?
BUILDING ISRAEL ,   United States   (06.11.11)
Screw you Obama and the camel you rode in on. Prepare to leave office, you pro muslim maniac. American's are disgusted with this pansy puke.
27. Israel inability
Gregg ,   Haifa, IL   (06.11.11)
Israel has been unable to do anything good for the past 44 years. It's time for the US to retake its power and keep pressurizing Israel. Israel will understand only through tough economic , political sanctions and boycotts
28. So that is how simple simon says
jason white ,   afula,israel   (06.11.11)
what we have to do. First of all, NO! We will not commit national suicide based on the vision of a blind man or the vision of a fanatical jihadist. Both parties will stone wall the jihadist of the U.S. and he knows it. We will not surrender our land to terrorists. Why not have the U.S. turn over 20 states to al queda and the taliban? Why should we give up land for another muslim state. They have enough states already. Hopefully we will see b.o. out of the White House in Jan,2013. Then we will be stuck with another,younger jimmy carter spewing his stupid ideas around the world. May be he can get his terrorist buddy ayers to ghost write an antiZionist book or two for him?
29. @20: You are correct about not getting it.
Adam ,   Golan Heights Israel   (06.11.11)
Americans do NOT feel they owe Israel, nor does Israel feel America owes us. Americans generally like Israel, because they recognise common values shared with Israelis. Arabs cannot grasp this basic fact, because arabs are lacking in those common values shared between americans, Israelis, and many other non-arab cultures.
30. Just say "NO" ,...
split ,   US   (06.11.11)
To US military aid, a political support US loan guaranties, tax deductible donations and tell him to get lost ,...
