1. Ah, the talkbacks gonna be good on this one
Cameron ,   USA   (04.20.12)
2. meanwhile in syria
elhrac ,   USA   (04.20.12)
hundreds of people being massacred every day. so much for "never again".
3. Never Again ? - Rawanda, Darfur, south sudan , etc
Ron ,   Melbourne, Australia   (04.20.12)
4. During 1944
Mark   (04.20.12)
During 1944, Jews were helpless..the USA never came to help despite repeated appeals. Now Israel is not helpless and should take action quickly against Iran. Don't fall for Obama's syrupy words, sanctions and rationality won't work against fanatics & madmen. One has to help themselves. Once bitten, be TWICE shy !
5. Hillary Clinton Tunisia
joe sombrero ,   usa   (04.20.12)
It was reported yesterday by Barry Rubin that Hillary Clinton made statements to the effect to a Tunisia reporter that Pro Israel statements are campaign retoric . So much for Obama and Hillary pro Israel record.
6. a useful tip for reading about obama:
david ,   new york   (04.20.12)
whenever he says "blah blah is not X", just take away the "not" and things become much easier to understand.
7. Never again will Americans fight Isaels wars!!! TATA
Edithann ,   USA   (04.20.12)
8. U$A
me   (04.20.12)
remember the past that cannot change anymore to hide your dark present
9. head slapper
Alex ,   Washington,DC   (04.20.12)
So at one point he considered "Never Again" an empty slogan? Or he hangs around with people who think it is? He just lost a big chunk of the Jewish vote with this clunker. Coming from a guy who is all about empty slogans like Hope and Change, this is not a surprise. When he confronts a motto with the blood of millions and a nation defiant to stop it again at all costs, he can't figure out what to say.
10. obama
david schiff ,   hamilton, canada   (04.20.12)
great political words with major disconnect to political actions !!
11. Empty words
bigben ,   nyc   (04.20.12)
Notice how he speaks about the Holocaust without even a casual reference to Israel which is under threat of a second Holocaust, G-d forbid; and the focus of Jew haters all over the world.
12. This POTUS is more than just a lying dog, he is a
Bernie ,   Erehwon, USA   (04.20.12)
consciously deceiving individual whose aim appears to be fully in line with the Iranian monkey, to wipe both the US and Israel from the map. Unequivocally the worst president in US history.
13. I would almost have believed Obama
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (04.20.12)
If our very world now had not allowed Holocausts to happen since, albeit on smaller scale, and now shows stark indifference to the clear signs that evil is still with us, with dogs baying to complete Hitler's nazi mission today.
14. You can start by blocking the new nazi lobby in DC
EZRA THE PROUD JEW ,   USA-ISRAEL   (04.20.12)
Last week the american nazi party gained their first official lobbyist in congress. With insanity like that and speeches like this, all we can utter is one word: hypocrisy.
15. It takes almost 7 years someone reads their names one by one
Asher ,   NY,USA   (04.20.12)
16. Frustrated American
sbg ,   ny   (04.20.12)
Obama is so fake, I hate it. He just says what he thinks is the right answer, socially, whether he means it or not! He's taking a lot of out of this day with his B.S. Actions speak much louder than words
17. Never again
Eric ,   Canada   (04.20.12)
Never again means if it ever stops they will not start it again
18. Looking for reform votes while he lets iran have nukes
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (04.20.12)
19. For the Muslim in Chief in White House it is an empty slogan
Marco ,   Spain   (04.20.12)
20. Actions
agokoy ,   cebu   (04.20.12)
speak louder than words.
21. Shoah deniers Dosen't that incude Israel
ben   (04.20.12)
Remember Israel denies the Armenian Genocide. tell it's teachers not to teach the Armenian Genocide. Has it's powerful lobbies work day and night to prevent the US congress from recognizing the armenian Genocide. please google " israel Turkey and the politics of genocide" Muzzlewatch said it best " never again means only if your Jewish.
22. Talk is cheap!!! Obama's talk even cheaper...
EST ,   Miami FL   (04.20.12)
If he meant what he says then he shouldn't have sent an avowed anti-Israel - so called progressive, who blames anti-Semitism on the Jews, to discuss the rise of virulent anti-Semitism in Sweden!!! Empty words....
23. So When Does The Window For Negotions
(04.20.12)
Slam shut one day, one week, one month or one year? How about Action, concrete,decisive,calculated Action? So far you have talked a great game, since the talks, iran Has; built underground fortified Enriching site, has been enriching to 20% or ? Has been biligerant with many threats, closing off straights of hormuz,sailed in the Med, offloaded who knows what in syria, persued U.S. Navel vesssels with fast attack boats armed with who knows what. b.H.o. What Real Actions have You taken? Besides Flapping those healthy lips?
24. #1
hala ,   imo,Nigeria   (04.20.12)
Lol!!!!!!
25. EMPTY WORDS ?
DA URBAN POET ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (04.20.12)
So , why is President Obama tying israels' hands and preventing any meaningful action against Iran which threatens a new holocaust ?
26. Just Trying To Keep The Jewish Vote.....
Dan ,   USA   (04.20.12)
while at the same time trying to destroy Israel. He will succeed in keeping the vote and if he wins in 2012 he may also succeed in the latter.
27. Obama, my next President.
Michael ,   California, USA   (04.20.12)
He is not the best, he is adequate. And he is trying hard while supporting Israel. Like every politician, he speaks with a purpose, not different from his opponents.. Obama will be reelected, to spite the Israeli racists, to make fifth column Americans angry. Right wing Israelis will be spitting foam, drooling foam from their angry mouths. Kapara aleiyhem.
28. Never again?!
Yosef Y. MSc' ,   USA   (04.20.12)
The only hope here is that the closet- Muslim Obama will never SAY those Words again!!! This President is either sincerely and criminally naive, or is deliberately continuing stalling on the Iran nuclear ambitions, till it WILL be too late.
29. What can you say?
Ezra ,   sandiego   (04.20.12)
Obama will gain points for speaking publicly about the Holocaust,... but I'm not voting for him.
30. To: No. 2 and No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.20.12)
"Never Again" with respect to the Jewish people. Everyone else can fend for themselves, or reach out and touch their co-religionists. Everyone ignored our suffering for several millennia. I may feel compassion for innocent victims, but I restrict my sympathy to sending funds to responsible and legitimate charities -- which is far more than anyone ever did for the Jews.
