1. "Get back in your damn box, Panetta!"
Scott ,   Australia   (12.03.11)
What a fool. As is there's anyone to talk to at "the table"???!! This arrogant big-mouth cant be taken seriously
2. New Development
zichron   (12.03.11)
The Muslim brotherhood and Sulafi can take in as part of the validate Arabs of Gaza as the Jews took in the Jews of the Ussr.
3. Obama speaks through Panetta's mouth, blaming the Jews,
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (12.03.11)
again, for the lack of progress in peace talks and demanding that Israel returns to the negotiating table while in reality Israel has been sitting at the table all along. And, Obama, through Panetta's mouth, attempts to make a linkage between Iran's drive for regional hegemony and Israel's willingness to bring peace about, but not at all risky costs. And he still hopes Jews will vote for him, again...
4. That sound like a great idea!
Trev ,   Canada   (12.03.11)
Just sit down over a nice cup of tea and make friends.
5. US foreign minister is irrelevent!
David N. ,   Haifa, ISRAEL   (12.03.11)
Get back to US or Quartet sponsored "peace" talks than no one believes in for good reason? Panetta you haven't got a leg to stand on, and in a few years no one will have heard of you again. America is bigger than us, not wiser or more deserving to be listened to. It isn't for you to butt in. We noticed how US president Roosevelt gave away much of central and eastern Europe to the Georgian sadist Stalin. What are you planning to approve of behind the scene with Israel's enemies?
6. Israel, stop talking with damm P.A. terrorists.
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.03.11)
Pannetta is Obama's point man and Obama is no friend of America. Let alone Israel. Israel, stop talking to damn terrorists. Before the Oslo Disaster, when Israel refused to talk to terrorists; Israel was highly respected, by friends and foes alike, as a gutsy little nation. Nothing good ever comes from talking to terrorists.
7. After Obama and Pinyata start an Arab Spring
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (12.03.11)
and destabilize the entire Middle East into a bunch of Iranian religious mini states. Then they have the audacity to tell the Jews to pick up the pieces of their mess....and cut a deal with a bunch of religious nuts running these pathetic countries under the guise of a Democratic system. They are religious theocracies now Pinyata. They hate the United States as well as Jews. So much for Obama's and Pinyata's experiment with an Arab Spring. It's a catastrophe engineered by Obama and Panetta. If it explodes in the United States face.....Obama has only himself to blame.
8. Listen up welfare state do what your told
Chris.B ,   Australia   (12.03.11)
or daddy wont give you any candy.lol When the U.S collapses on its finacial head what happens then?
9. Its the truth, deal with it...
(12.03.11)
10. Panetta
George Brown ,   New York   (12.03.11)
Panetta, like most in the Democratic Party, is a mental pygmy.
11. WATCH YOUR DAMN LANGUAGE
URBAN POET ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (12.03.11)
And mind your damn business Damnetta.
12. "GET BACK TO THE TABLE "
URBAN POET ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (12.03.11)
There once was a lady named mable ;who was every so slightly disable ; in place of a leg she had an old wooden peg so she could not climb back on the table.
13. Nonsense
Marc ,   Nice, France   (12.03.11)
For Palis : Is there anybody out there, on the other side of the "damn" table ? For Iran : Did diplomacy produced the slightest result and/or any visible move toward control of the situation, even after all Obama's ultimatums ? Citing Albert Einstein, the definition of sheer cretinism is doing relentlessly the same thing, assuming it will yield different results next time... Leon, please go back home and have some rest...
14. Panetta to Israel " Roll over and die '!
Letsjustrollover&die ,   Jerusalem Israel   (12.03.11)
While Panetta was saying this Joe Biden was in Turkey making sure Turkey allows U.S. missiles stay in place there against Iran ;Panetta was sucking up to Turkey and the Egyptian and Palestinian remarks are pure anti Israel State Department orders from Hilary who doesnt want to look like the bad guy so close to elections. Israel is to apologize to Turkey that it sent terrorists to Israel's coast to the Moslem Brotherhood who wants us dead ditto the Palestinians.No thanks Panetta crawling just aint our style.
15. MEND FENCES WITH EGYPT ??
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (12.03.11)
Is Panetta for real ? does this fool not realise that Israel gave away the Sinai ,including oilfields ,to Egypt ? give us a break .
16. He said Damn!!!
Sarah B , ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.03.11)
Tee Hee Hee. Now say Willy....
17. Panetta's tenor bears an eerie echo
Devorah   (12.03.11)
to Obama's histrionics when he practically screamed at Mubarek to step down. Panetta has overstepped his bounds by verbally assaulting, disrespecting and bearing false witness against the Israeli leadership. There is no place at Israel's table for Panetta nor his ilk. Therefore, may Panetta depart from this situation and neither be seen nor heard from again.
18. Obama - America's joke
MACKTHEKNIFE   (12.03.11)
... as if Obama cares what happens to any country as long as his pockets are well lined with Arab dollars! Right now I am talking about Israel. Obummer is a traitor and is well paid by the arabs to kill off Israel! Unfortunately Obummer's problem right now is that the Jews (except american Jews) can see right thru the present President. MUST Obummer serve that last year??? I'll bet this mail won't see the day of light!
19. Reply to # 8
Moragh   (12.03.11)
They`ve collapsed and soon forgotten. Has anybody read the Bible lately? And if you don't understand it, ask questions!
20. so Israel to to blame?!
nadav   (12.03.11)
Hey American Jews? still want to vote for Obama next year? Panetta is a direct result of Obama's anti israel stance, how can they blame Israel for Islamofascist radicalism, Turkish belligerence, and Iranian genocidal threats!
21. He can take the table and shove it up
jason white ,   afula, israel   (12.03.11)
where the sun does not shine. What does this fool know about security? We have differences with the palis, they want all our Jewish land and to kill us and we do not want this to happen. Well most of us do not. I hope that b.o. is a one term president and that he is not replaced by hitlery clinton!
22. panetta...what a wanker!
ex-frummie ,   johannesburg S.A.   (12.03.11)
23. Sec. Panetta, peace with whom?
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (12.03.11)
No talks can take place until the Palestinians hold FAIR and FREE elections and if Hamas wins or is part of a Palestinian Government, Israel will not be bullied by you to negotiate with those whose charter calls for the destruction of the State of Israel and the Jewish People! I would suggest that President Obama concentrate all his efforts in fixed up the financial mess the the USA is in instead of pursuing his ingrained "dislike" of Jews and Israel and endangering Israel's survival! On the other hand Mr. Panetta, am sure that your President would not be too disappointed if the Neo-Nazi Iranian regime did annihilate the Jews of the world!
24. #8: then Israel will give the USA a loan guarantee!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (12.03.11)
Remember, the jihad has started in New Zealand by generating hatred against Jews and look around you in Oz and get your head out of the sand! Israel is worth more than $3 billion less deductions a year and the USA and other countries, including Australia, benefit from Israeli know how and technology which is worth far more than the USA's rental of the biggest aircraft carrier in the world called Israel! (General Norman Schwartzkop).
25. I think ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.03.11)
... that the United States must mend regional relations with Cuba. Do that, Mr. Panetta, and I will pay a little more attention to your asinine ramblings. Until then -- no go.
26. Pin'ata Head!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (12.03.11)
Oh, Israel needs to mend fences? This guy is a freakin' idiot! Just like Obumma and all of his cronies: anti-Semites. It really makes me sick-and-tired that they always blame Israel for the Palestinians' intransigence! It is those animals who don't want peace (read their stinkin' Charter). I don't get it: are they really that stupid? In most cases, maybe; but, here...it's just pure hate for the Israelis'. Nentanyu, really needs to tell Obumma-and-friends (the Breakfast Club) to shove-it and get lost; a bunch of ignorant SOB's! Well, people, that's my two-cents worth; hope you all have a nice day...and remember: no matter where you go...there you are, and you'll always have useful idiots' to contend and put-up with. I guess it builds character; however, it does get tiring when one sees ineptitude rear its ugly head. God bless Israel! Christian Zionist (friends of Israel)
27. Another shining star of another FAILED.
Gideon Reader   (12.03.11)
...political hack administration, (Bill Clinton's) dares to recycle the FAILED policies that FAILED previously, and are destined to FAIL again, based on FAILED premises that the alleged Palestinians are not interested in talking, or in fact any positive enterprise. A liberal congresshack, a lousy Chief of Staff, a poor Director-CIA, and a foolish SecDef. Daring to get "gutsy". Screw 'em. New realistic admin is on the way as America reaches saturation with mis-mal-and stupid performances of the Hopey-Changey Unicorn wranglers are told overwhelmingly that their fundamental change really sucks and is totally rejected.
28. Saban
DEB ,   Wash. DC   (12.03.11)
Paneta's comments at the Saban conference shows what a naif he is . He is the proverbial "Jack (off ) of All Trades" and only says what his staff or Obama tells him to say. The audacity to preach to Israel leadership that military response is not the first choice shows he ignors the several years spent on sanctions and the ineffectiveness of sanctions in dealing with rabidly fanatic Iran and other Islamist nations and groups. Recall that Bush was undercut several years ago in taking military action against Iran by similar craw-fishing in the questionable NEI cobbled up by the US State Dept. In all this, Israel has done more that its part to seek peaceful existence with its neighbors.
29. Penetta Mistakes
joe sombrero ,   usa   (12.03.11)
Israel gave up everything for a peace treaty with Egypt and looked what happen Egypt will probably tear up the treaty. The United States screwed up in Lbyia and Egypt and now Peneatta wants to blame Israel.
30. Panetta, get back to...
Curtis ,   USA   (12.03.11)
the "dam" table with the North Koreans and convince them they don't need their nukes. You "dam" fool.
