31. To: No. 22
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.29.12)
Obama's visit to Israel during his candidacy was a blatant attempt to win Jewish votes, which are key to winning elections in the swing states. He showed his true colors -- and sentiments -- following the election with his incessant bullying of the State of Israel. The mid-term elections in 2010 should have taught him a lesson, but he is clearly oblivious to the message being sent to him by the people of the United States. And your statement that there is one set of rules for Israel is quite correct, but not in the sense you intended. How many countries are forced to negotiate with terrorists? How many countries are constantly being told that they must give up the spoils of wars which they did not start yet from which they emerged victorious? The visceral hatred of Obama extends far beyond Israel. Obama is a bumbling fool with a private agenda that does not serve anyone in good stead. He'll discover that come November. But how many allies will America have lost by then?
32. #10
DavidR ,   USA   (06.29.12)
Come on! Tell us your real name and location. Is it mohammad or achmood, or dirt wad or something else like that. You really live in Gaza don't you?
33. #1 SLZ, Correct plus a different focus.
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.29.12)
On this board everyone is naturally focused on Israel and the Middle East, but this is not Obama's focus. I would guess that in a 24-hour day, the Middle East takes up one hour (not counting Iraq and Afghanistan) of Obama's attention. The U.S. takes up at least half of Obama's time, much more time than the M.E. and Israel within it. The Middle East is important, but not very much.
34. 100% Obama is a huge ”success”
Steve ,   Denver   (06.29.12)
His appointments of leftys to many high level jobs/positions is a big win for him. Yes these are the very same ”Social” Democrats millions died fighting against and hope,I don't gey censored again. Just look at,CA and NY alone to see the bankrupt future they offer with ”liberals” and especially women as some of the very worst of all. They tried their ”male circumcision as Islamic female torture” and here comes,Germany again. Of course they want to spread 40% more AIDES and diseases as,medical fact. It's time to bring back McCarthy and put em in jail where they belong. Yes it's ”liberalism” that's been destroying the world for far too long as the shape shifting ”Communosocialists” always want to genocide the,Jews.
35. 21
(06.29.12)
have you recently looked at the middle east islamizing????? you moron. a war may not start on his watch, but he surely encouraged all radical muslims to start one in the middle east because he deposed all america's allies in the region and the ones, the radicals coming in, will surely start a war within the next three years against israel. you are such an idiot. vision, my man. vision. you have none and complete misunderstanding of not only the evil that your president brought into the region, but the awful consequences of his actions and policies.
36. You knuckleheads do comfort yourselves with that BS, #8
Cameron ,   USA   (06.29.12)
#16 is the rather more valid take on Obama's progressive view of the world.

38. #10 Well Said
Leon ,   Algonquin Land   (06.30.12)
I would go a step farther and include the US as being sad to see these dictators go. You know that you are correct when others excuse you of being on drugs or call you names. They can't defeat your argument so they throw mud. That is what spoiled, ill mannered children do in the sand box.
39. "Ignorance" or "Deviousness"
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (07.01.12)
"Ignorance" is the kindest excuse for the policies of the Obama Administration, "Deviousness" would be much more appropriate. Obama's attitude, policies and intentions toward the Muslim countries and Israel have been displayed from the start, but he has been successful in getting people, particularly liberal American Jews, to listen to what he says, rather than look at what he does. His "undying support" for Israel will die a quick death immediately after the election, when the contributions and votes of American Jews are no longer needed. His affinity and support for the Muslim Brotherhood, already evident, will become the basis for an openly anti-Israel US foreign policy in the Middle East. The "ignorance" has not been on the part of Obama and his administration, but rather, on the part of his American Jewish supporters.
40. #16. What is the evidence of Obama's "good will"?
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.01.12)
#16 Maurice. I can't find any evidence of Obama's "good will" towards Israel. Can you? Self serving election speeches designed to extract cash and votes from foolish liberal Jews are not good will. However, the evidence of Obama's far left radicalism, and hostility towards Israel, is to be found everywhere in his past and in his current policies.
41. Clear as a blue, clear day!
Taz Man ,   USA   (07.01.12)
As far as political realities go, yes, he's inept and foolish. His own arrogance won't allow himself to see beyond his own Pinnocchio nose; and, with each lie offered, his vision becomes, that much more, blurred to the true realities that face the world in general. However, when It comes to his Muslim brothers, his vision, of destroying Israel, is perfectly clear and distinct. Don't be fooled by his lies!

43. Blindness en mass
RC ,   USA   (07.01.12)
Most Liberal Jews are so foolish that they sometimes side with their own enemies. Who were Obama's friends before becomming president. Who guided and bankrolled him through his college years. Who is H. Abedin and what is her relation with the Muslim Brotherood. It is the Liberal Jews who are betraying Israel, some knowingly and some through ignorance. The real shame is that some of them still call themselves Jews. Why has the ME gone up in flames after his visit to Eygpt, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. Do you actually think his reaching out to the MB is out of coincedence? The Shite and Sunni run goverments do not get along, but both want Israel's demise because it is in both of their religions doctrine, the supposed religion of peace but which has proven to be a religion of submission or death. Obama is not the only one to blame. Unfortunatly on the right there are some who have a World Order as their goal and would gladly hand over our sovereignties to it. Many are being called, but few will be chosen for some prefer to stay in darkness and in lies and iignorance.
44. AND THE STRATEGY IS...
Frank-el ,   Seattle USA   (07.01.12)
The strategy involved with this op-ed and the greater one it reflects is facile, transparent and dangerous. Bottom line: the American president must serve the interests of Israel above all others; it is NEVER Israel's fault; shamelessley attack anybody or any institution that does not serve Israel's interests. The tipping point has been reached and the word is out: ditch Obama since Romney is seen as the better servant of Israel. Secondary benefit is that Romney will protect the purses better of the many hateful posters above. Just look at all the US posters above who most certainly will promote and elect the President that serves a foreign nation above their "own" (therein the mind trick they play on themselves and win).
45. Obama
david goldberger ,   cooper city,fl.usa   (07.01.12)
You have convinced me never to read any more of opinion articles. Not is the author a moranic Obama hater but most of readers are ignorant people who would not know the if it hit them in face. All they can do is rant against liberalism which they know about
46. The Obama Bum!
Worried Lady.   (07.02.12)
The Muslim Obama has been the worst disaster as a President... ever. Pleae don't tell me he's going to be elected for another 4 years.Well if that's the case, I'm old now and I hope Obama will very quickly "kick the bucket" before his next term. God save us all from this miserable sucker, child of Satan!
47. Steve Wherever #34
Dead man Walking   (07.02.12)
You're off your rocker trying to be another Benassi, Benassi has enought shit in his head like a constipated camel. One Benassi is quite enough thank you!
