Great post.But the suicide should be organized-can't have Arabs causing pollution.
32. What a naive piece of over-emotional idealism
EZRA THE PROUD JEW ,   USA-ISRAEL   (09.23.11)
This guy describes Obama as if he's in his head. He has NO idea what Obamas real thought or intentions were at all: yet he ticks them off like an Ogar who is in love with Obama on a deeply intimate level. What a load of garbage that was spewed on this page: manipulative left wing propaganda. Just idiotic!
33. More absurd hatred of Obama
Mark Jeffery Koch ,   Cherry Hill, NJ USA   (09.23.11)
Again, Israeli online sites are filled with absurd lies about Obama hating Israel and pressuring Israel and forcing Israel to do things against its will. What exactly did this man do to Israel? As the #1 recipient of U.S. foreign aid he asked Israel to freeze settlements in order to jumpstart the peace process. He did not order Israel to do so. The fools on this site and others believe that asking Israel to stop expropriating more and more land and sit down and seriously negotiate peace is somehow anti Israel and pro Muslim. Other than the far right in America there is not another country in the world that agrees with this criticism of Obama. Not one. Obama, during a time millions of Americans have lost their jobs and homes has INCREASED aid to Israel. Military and intelligence cooperation between Israel and America is at its highest level ever. Obama has continued to protect Israel in the U.N. each and every time. Because Obama, as do billions of people on this planet, believe the Palestinians are being oppressed and deserve a State of their own, he is called an anti semite. If that is your definition of being an anti semite then your past five prime ministers are as well as the past two heads of the Mossad and the former head of the Shin Bet, as well as many generals in the IDF. If you had a prime minister who was interested in peace and not scare to death to act because of his fear of losing to Avigdor Lieberman you would not have all the problems Israel currently faces. A majority of the cabinet voted to apologize to Turkey but in fear of Lieberman, Netanyahu refused. Israel's relationship with Egypt is about to be permanently destroyed because Netanyahu continues to cower in fear over Lieberman. Obama may lose in 2012 and when that happens I hope the Israeli people are smart enough to realize that the day after that happens they will not be more secure nor will Egypt, Turkey, and the rest of the Arab world be any more accepting. A Republican President will not do anything to make your lives any better. He cannot give you more money or weapons than Obama did or protect you at the U.N. more than Obama did. Most importantly, he cannot and will not be able to protect you from the incompetence of your current leadership who stoke the flames of hatred of the Arab world against Israel while at the same time encourage the right wing settlers. A conflagration is coming and it won't be because of Obama but because of your leaders who, in their incompetence, are throwing kerosene on a brushfire they started. When it becomes a wildfire it can and will get of of control and when that happens innocent people on both sides are going to sadly pay the ultimate price.
34. Irrational analysis
Salomon Mizrahi ,   Brazil   (09.23.11)
Mrs. Azoulay wrote an illogical article, it´s even not wrong...There is no glue between her several affirmations... Next time she should organize better her ideas... it´s a shame for ynet!
35. #24, not she isn't
Danny   (09.23.11)
She is simply a lazy churnalist pumping out the same copy as everyone else she works with. Would be better if there was some real ideology behind her thinking but this is just pathetic.
36. YOU ERR -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (09.23.11)
The president is not naïve and most certainly not stupid; otherwise he would not have reached his position. Comment - Would you hold that, those who voted for Him, are the most - Nonenaive and Nonestupid People of the populace in the US, and that such People are in mayority ? Proverbs 26 17He that passeth by and meddleth in strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears. It is those Usefull Idiots Ideology which are their big error, it does not understand Human Nature and Powerpolicy. Chamberlain was no winner !. Arn.Sweden.
37. To nr 9.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (09.23.11)
There is a saying in Sweden - " The cunning of Women prevails over the Understanding of men " !. But I say - " When the Man does not want to have the Open Leadership, he plays he is not awere of the cunning intention of the Woman, because he wants the same thing as the woman, then the woman gets her cunning intention fullfilled, and the man also, and everything is just fine " !. Yes I am Joking a little !. God bless thee !. Arn.Sweden
38. This lacked reality!
chris ,   wales   (09.24.11)
I found the whole Article lacking in Reality! Obama did push Netanyahu,but You don't push the Victim and expect to get result.the Author of this article reveal his/her Ideology,Communists and New World Order Freek! Israel does not fit in into this New world order,Israel are God's People,and God's Plans do not fit in with the World's plan.the World applauded a racist today and Netanyahu's Points where largely ignored,even though he spoke the truth! the nations are drunk with Hatred for Israel while Obsessed with these terrorists who want Palestine in order to replace Israel.It so Obvious but the world care less! as for looking to Obama or any man to lead a New World Order,How scary? How scary we have such people with us,WHO Will look to a man to be a saviour of the world,and they expect this man to deliver a Palestine state,the Antichrist through and through,That what they are looking for! that what they will get!
39. Obama
don ,   greenwood usa   (09.24.11)
It's not Obama's fault, it's the idiot American voters who put him in office. That's the scary part. Now I have no faith in my country. They have a guilt complex because of slavery. Self hatred you might say.
40. Remembering history.
Gary Glaser ,   Hutchinson, MN, USA   (09.24.11)
I think #2 pretty well said all that needs to be said about this subject, so I won't add to it. I'll just say that there are still some of us around who remember the English sell out of the Czechs to Hitler before World War II. Chamberlain gave Hitler the so-called Sudetenland, and, the next thing you know, Hitler controls all of Czechoslovakia. Appeasement never works. And I wouldn't trust this so-called Quartet who sound a lot like a bunch of anti-semites to me.
