31. Just heard Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) and I must say,
leo ,   usa   (03.06.12)
Obama has no credibility left on the subject of Israel even with Democrats.
32. # 30
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.06.12)
Obama is playing for time, thats all. He will do nothing until the elections are over.
33.  #32
Billy H ,   Burlington, Canada   (03.06.12)
The fear is if he'll win he'll be even more dangerous! On the other hand, GOP might not be better! Wasn't Bush who put two states solution as a formal American foreign policy? He refused to accept Jerusalem as the unified capital of Israel either!! GOP has ties with oil countries based on common interests!
34.  No War No Peace
ZivronNetanyahu   (03.06.12)
The long cold war or quiet is best if possible to maximise the security of Jews and Arabs and to create social justice as the USA and Russia have the powers.
35. Relax your gluteal muscles.....
Koose E Mack ,   NY NY   (03.06.12)
Obama's got your back Israel...and he hands two hands on your shoulders!
36. To: Birdi at No. 32
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.06.12)
Of course, Israel is under no such restraints! Besides, the more Obama dithers, the stronger Mitt Romney gets. Works for me!
37. Sad
Paul ,   SC, USA   (03.06.12)
It is really sad to see the hate here for President Obama. There seems to be no awareness in any of these commenters as to the true effect of an unprovoked strike on Iran. America bought and paid for peace between Israel and Egypt 30 years ago. What has Israel done to earn Egypt's friendship and confidence in those 30 years? It was predictable that one day the Egyptian dictator would pass -- what has Israel done to prepare for that day? What compromises has Israel made? Sad. Israel's "friend" President Bush 2 made it so very obvious (in his unilateral attack on Iraq) to any country that only the actual acquisition of nuclear weapons would forestall ill-advised American intervention. Why did Israel not discourage the attack on Iraq, the last secular anti-Muslim-fanatic regime? And now, some Israelis and Americans and Israeli-Americans think more war and deaths (mostly Iranian and American) will solve anything? Sad. Iran is not suicidal. Iran knows that a nuclear attack on any country, even by proxies, would be traceable by fallout to its source. Iran knows that Israel would erase thousands of years of Persian civilization. Smart Israelis know that Ahmahdinejad spouts anti-Israeli and anti-American nonsense simply to distract his people from their hardship. Smart Israelis know that he has no power to declare war on Israel. Sad.

BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.07.12)
The last war that the U.S. won was the 2nd World War After that she has been a consistent loser, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq & Afghanistan Israel hasn't lost any wars, because if she did that would be the end of Israel
