31. Obama is just jealous of Bibi's warm reception in congress
Yaniv ,   Israel   (06.17.11)
32. The anti-Israeli Democrats
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.17.11)
are pissed because a Jew dared to offer an opinion that contradicts their Messiah. The Leftist Democrats have created a new religion and as usual a proud Jew doesn't fit in very well to new forms of Idolatry.
33. DEEP HOSTILITY FROM WHITE HOUSE
LAWRENCE ,   Zefat (Safed)   (06.17.11)
They wanted an israeli leader who would agree to the destruction of Israel without fuss nor complaint.Instead they got Bibi. Scorched earth ?? damn good job .
34. So many idiots ,...
split ,   US   (06.17.11)
Especially those "americans" taking Bibi's side ,...
35. I guess Herzog doesnt watch TV
J K ,   NYC, USA   (06.17.11)
I know what I and the rest of the world saw when Bibi addressed Congress. Obama, Biden and the State dept may not care much for Israel or Bibi, but it looks like the majority of elected reps and the general constituency do. Herzog and Labor are only fooling themselves.
36. Leftist Insanity
Brod ,   USA   (06.17.11)
Since when did Herzog appoint Obama as king of Israel? Israel is a sovereign country and it does not take orders from other countries' leaders. Israel has its own government. Obama is NOT king or god of Israel! It is time the Leftists understand that. It is time they know the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the Land of Israel if they claim to be Jews. Pagans cannot claim to be Jews.
37. Herzog playing party politics
Sam ,   Canada   (06.17.11)
Herzog knows Israelis value their relationship with the US. He's trying to send the message that Israelis should support his Labour party rather than Netanyahu and Likud.
38. MrNetanyahu is the solution, Obama is the problem.
Johnny ,   Stockholm Sweden   (06.17.11)
39. Bibi is the man who did stand for his nation
E,M Jordan is Pales ,   S.F   (06.17.11)
Bibi is the man who did stand against the anti Israel US president, Bibi is the man who care for the rights of his people and the labor the party that dose not have any credibility, by the way the majority of democrat and republican were supporting the Israel prim minister,
40. Insulted the president and his people?
Devorah   (06.17.11)
Barry and the whole lot of his people are bottom feeders and are incapable of being insulted. They are mindless clams masquerading as human beings. They are moral and ethical traif.
41. The demon-crats are leaving the building
lee ,   n/a   (06.17.11)
For most of the people in the U. S. A. We admire the pm's stand, what you hear is the basic demoncrat dribble. The only thing they know is kiss up and apease. Lets hope they do not do that with Israel.
42. Attila Somfalvi and MK Herzog
(06.17.11)
Netanyahu is the one who has been insuletd by the Anti-Israel / Anti Jews Obama Administration. The fate of the Jews and that of Israel is much larger than what a ONE TERM Islamo-President wishes are. Wake up ''Attila / Herzog'' --- as viewed from here in America the ''US of A'' is solidly behind Israel (70% support). As to the Democrats or should I call them the ''Ultimate Nitwits'' their despicable record speaks volume,..they represent ''Bankrupcy of the MIND and SOUL'' We have seen how America dealt with the Dems last November we will see more of the same comes 2012. If Neatnyahu ruffled some Nitwits Feathers,...so be it. NEVER AGAIN!
43. No. 34, are you joining the clueless crowd?
Marco ,   Spain   (06.17.11)
You must have not watched the lecture student Hussein Nobel Prize received from Bibi, the AIPAC speech, the 30 standing ovations in Congress from both sides of the aisle, and the almost unanimous praises in the US media. It started a new era where Israel is pushing back against its detractors and is drastically changing the terms of the solution. The effects of it you will notice in 10 years when all Arabs will be gone from Israel Bibi put all of you Antisemites to shame and you just cannot admit how idiotic you sound.
44. #23 Delusional
Ian ,   Israel   (06.17.11)
I rest my case - Bibi has no doubt ostracised this country world wide and US Israel relations are at the lowest they can get. You talk about God in the same breath - you have got to be kidding - I have never heard anything so delusional in many a long month, but hey each to his own until September when I am sure you will wake up to a big big shock.
45. As an American supporter of both...
Mark ,   San Francisco, USA   (06.17.11)
Israel and Obama, who I believe is doing the right things in regard to Israel, I was completely disgusted by the way Netanyahu handled himself in Washington and particularly distressed by his dismissal of Obama. I have to say my desire to support Israel is near the breaking point. When will you all realize that the climate of hate for Obama, support for the ultra right wing nuts that are mimicking brown shirts in their behavior and racist remarks, and refusal to truly negotiate will ultimately help destroy Israel? Obama's only trying to help, even after the insults, because he's a decent human being with a true understanding of the situation.
46. herzog same old same old
alexi   (06.17.11)
like ginsberg, beilin and ben ami, herzog has not digested that arabs fired rockets and death from lands vacated by israel and that obama will not defend israel in the pinch. His best friend kalidi and he had intimate weekly family dinners and he absorbed 100% the arab narrative that israel has no real history cause they took the land from the canaanites who were the forefathers of the palestinians. Who cares if bibi, liberman and landau offend the US? israel's life is on the line and that is more important than if some feathers are ruffled. Herzog is like haber, same old. The arabs are a bunch of backstabbing liars of the first order. Israel needs defensible borders and 67 is not regardless of the guru roger cohen of the ny times, who like olmert and livni know nothing about security and geography. What the hell did herzog do in the military like peres, haber, olmert, livni, beilin-not much. he has not learned the lessons of history. his views are pathetic. Israel has to rely on itself primarily and n ot on the promises of roosevelt, churchill, johnson, reagan and obama. 6 million died hoping on herzog's empty US promises. And the arabs also have to make concessions and painful compromises no matter how much they yell. And if no peace and the whole place blows up, so be it. so call comments from some shmuch herzog who says us officials are upset with bibi are worthless.
47. Herzog
Sy Dill ,   Providence,,USA   (06.17.11)
It seems that his purpose in coming here was to undermine Israel and Bibi.I can't imagine Bibi or any notable Israeli doing the same thing against an elected Israeli government. Israel is continuously threatened by every madman in this universe, and unfortunately,Herzog definitely adds to the chorus.
48. Did Herzog go to the U.S. to discredit Israeli government?
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.17.11)
Would Herzog like to explain the purpose of his trip to the U.S.? I can't see anything positive for Israel resulting from it? Was Herzog's trip intended to discredit the Israeli government? If so, he has come very close to committing treason. Over to you, Herzog. Why DID you go to the U.S.?
49. Split #34
Brod ,   USA   (06.17.11)
You sound like an Islamist-Jihadist/AntiSemite.
50. Again, this appears to beall about hate
Jon ,   Baltimore US   (06.17.11)
Israel today is bound up in a tight cycle of hatred. Everything that occurs seems to be because the entire world hates Jews. Supporters of this Israeli administration around the world define themselves by who hates them and by who they hate. When you can only justify what you do as being valid because " everyone is against you, so you must be against everyone", you have lost any moral compass guiding your actions.
51. 'Scorched earth' - That's just the beginning of the trail
Harry Wright ,   UK   (06.17.11)
Bibi is blazing. We are talking here about Obama, the bully and his inner circle of advisers, who wrongly advised Obama to include the '67 borders. They can't get over Bibi having rebuked the great, black god of America and the unexpected, unanimous and lengthy standing ovations from the Senate and Congress. Now, if these had just stared at Bibi, there would have been absolutely no problem as that would have been seen as a victory for Obama and therefore not considered as an insult but rather, an embarrassment for Bibi. Now it is stuck in their craw and they just can't get over it because they are accustomed hoodwinking people with slick talk and deceit, including forged birth certificate. It appears to me now that all these weird articles on Ynet and the bitter and frenzied castigations directed at Bibi from Kadima, Labour etc are a sign of a concerted attempt to discredit and disgrace Bibi. It seems that the bully in the White House wants these stooges in Israel to do everything possible to chase Bibi out of office - first, the scare tactics, then the vitriol in the Knesset (complete with coffee, wafers and cottage cheese) and now the "scorched earth". So what is this? Obama has proxies in Israel (including journalists) to do his dirty work? The people of Israel must slap them down. I like that term.
52. #45 Mark, San Francisco
armand Kidouchim ,   Calabasas, CA   (06.17.11)
Hey Mark, (no wonder from San Francisco)..... Do us jews a favor stop supporting us, we rather have the likes of you against us. We do not need more Nitwits. You are a sad case of low IQ. Read history and educate yourself. Never Again means ''NEVER AGAIN'' AK from Calabasas, CA
53. #16 Steve T - Correction Required
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.17.11)
Obama supporters WERE half the country, they no longer are The glow is off the rose, Obama has failed in most of his endeavors and the people know it Unemploy8ment 9.1%, 14 million unemployed Gasoline, because of his policies now costs double what it did when he took office Obamacare, the people hate it, so he shoved it down the people’s throats He pissed away a TRILLION dollars on a stimulus that didn't stimulate He has now involved the USA in two new wars that weren’t there when he took office Gallup Polls indicate that 63% of American's favor Israel "A foreigner getting involved in American politics is like a stranger intervening in a marital fight. A lose-lose proposition." Obama has inserted himself into Israeli politics, always favoring the Arab side "Armature Diplomacy", yes like Obama in Libya, Egypt, Yemen, & Iran For the first three, he has no idea who the opposition parties are and what they represent Obama has failed on many fronts, ask I will send you a fairly complete list
54. Obama is a corrupt back stabber and so are his associates
bernard ross ,   st anns bay jamaica   (06.17.11)
apparently the left everywhere will sell out their own nation
55. Mark #45 the sunshine supporter
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (06.17.11)
If you know your American history you will draw the correct inference. So you are discussed with our PM standing up for our country - TFB. That is his job. If that puts you near the breaking point then go already. The only racist remarks are by your President toward us. He supports ethnic cleansing and apartheid by the Arabs. HE is the racist. Oh by the way we don't want or need his 'help'. As for being a decent human being, that I will leave to you. He is show nothing but hatred and racism toward us.
56. NETANYAHU = Israeli ERDOGAN
Rafi ,   US   (06.17.11)
both 1st class demagogues... Don't be fooled by ephemeral Congressional ovations... The President controls US foreign policy not fickle Congress. Netanyahu publicly pissed all over the President to win his own short-term, petty poliitcal points at home. But other policy-makers in Washington, not just Obama's staff, took note of Netanyahu's boorish behavior... He did his country no favors and Israel may eventually reap the negative consequences. MK Herzog is telling the truth. Right-wing-nuts just don't want to hear it. Israel: please shed your self of this loser & his cronies, the sooner the better!
57. OBAMA = OSAMA
Marco ,   Spain   (06.17.11)
Same arrogant attitude, same supremacist beliefs, same goals, same incompetence to do positive things, same religion
58. Herzog
michaelpielet ,   boca raton, Israel   (06.17.11)
Herzog is jealous of the Prime Minister.
59. Obama May Have Been Hostile to Bibi But...
Ron ,   Seattle USA   (06.17.11)
the rest of us US citizens admire Bibi and admire Israel.
60. To #1
nadya ,   CA., US   (06.17.11)
In response to #1, Netanyahu behaves as a spoiled and arrogant child. He acts as though the US is his big brother and we will protect Israel no matter what they do. DREAM ON!!!
