1. and the reason we need this traffic jam is....?
booker ,   Jerusalem   (07.03.12)
can't he just stay on his side of the pond??
2. # 1 Booker - Total shtuyot.
Ron M ,   South T.A   (07.03.12)
You are opposed to Presidential nominees coming to Israel and showing their support?? Because you think it might cause a small traffic jam?? You are one odd fellow Israeli if you don't seek to encourage as much US support as possible for us here. Maybe you prefer Romney go to Cairo, like Obama.
3. To nr 1 - Would you say the same about a Democrat?
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (07.03.12)
Should we assume that you are one of those Democrat loving, Left Wing ultra liberal pacifist, self hating, self destructive, self abasing, post nationalist, moral relativist naive American Jews that lower the IQ level in American politics? It seems the great majority of American Jews would support the Democrats until the bitter end - even if the Democrats would be headed by Adolf Hitler. Mitt Romney is more then welcome to Israel! The free world needs America more than ever before. The world is facing an unprecedented level of violence and threats emanating from Russia, Turkey and the Arab states and Israel and Europe are facing many geo-political and existential threats. USA too is facing existential threats due to Iranian development of WMDs. And most importantly: Americans need to get their self respect back, they need to restore their pride and honor and their economy and USA needs to be USA again - the leader of the free world. Bring back the American superpower and bring back American leaders of vision and guts. Don't worry about the neurotic hysterical ultra Left Wing, ultra Liberal pacifist American Jews that espouse intermarriage, same sex marriage, drugs and Woody Allen movies. Israel represents world Jewry - not Democrat loving American Jews. Israel and USA will forever be close allies and friends even if that means that Republicans will be in power and the hysterical American Jews will go even more hysterical. God Bless America and God Bless the Republicans - the true patriots of the USA.

6. So? Why should Israelis care?
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (07.03.12)
It is very probable that Romney will NOT win the election and Obama will be President starting in 2013. This is just pure pandering and telling a small minority what they want to hear. The funny thing is it is a waste of time and money for Romney because he is daily alienating the majority of Americans that will vote. MOST Americans care more about themselves than Israel, abortion and all the other social issues. Enjoy the traffic jams.
7. Bring on the Goods, Mr. Romney
The Prophetess ,   FL, USA   (07.03.12)
and bring on the "baytzim." Enough said.
8. #3. Alexander: be praised for your eloquence
Tom W ,   USA   (07.03.12)
You correctly stated the sad state of American Marxist Jewry whose pathological worship of the Obama clique is an a par with the old Stalinists infatuation. Get ready to the Soros, Jstreet, N.Y. Times initiated gush of anti Republican poison on these forums.
9. ISRAEL NEEDS A FRIEND IN WASH.DC
ZIMBI ,   NJUSA   (07.03.12)
10. obuma came to Israel to get American votes
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (07.03.12)
before he was elected and has never been back. Romney will visit and not only come back to Israel, he will most likely act like a true ally and have Israel's back. not like the true believer obummer of a president we have now!
11. #3
GRANT ,   SA   (07.03.12)
Could not agree with you more Alexander! GOD Bless ISRAEL and the US and the sooner the GOP is back in the Senate and the Oval Office as well as holding onto Congress, the sooner this world has a chance of restoring some degree of order! Just hope that BIBI then starts representing the LIKUD as he should have been doing all along. I also hope that Romney does not move to the centre and flip flop on GOP ideology. Gingrich would have upheld GOP ideology come hell or high water!
12. Thank You Mr. Romney for your favorable support of Israel &
Moshe ,   Usa   (07.03.12)
the Jewish people. You can count on my & my wife's vote & those of my children & my Mother, my brothers, my nephews & our families. I am sure of it. Thank you & we'll see you in the oval office.
13. Thank you #3
Daniel ,   Beverly Hills   (07.03.12)
Everything you said is true!!!!
14. Romney is welcome in Israel.
Avner ,   Tel Aviv   (07.03.12)
And I wish him good luck in the winning the presidency and kick starting the economy. American-Jewish leftists, on the other hand, are not welcome here. Mormons are better friends for us than a lot of American-Jews.
15. Good rant, #3
Cameron ,   USA   (07.03.12)
Can only agree with your take on liberals.
16. #6 Wrong again
Cynthia ,   USA   (07.03.12)
The majority of Americans care about the US economy and see the disaster Obama has created. That's why they'll vote for Romney. This will be a good visit for Romney. Unlike Obama, he's been a strong supporter of Israel and views Israel as an ally.
17. If Romney were fortunate enough to get into office...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (07.03.12)
which is doubtful, he would only end up parroting the same old tired rhetoric about a "two states living side by side" and Israel needing to refrain from building in the "occupied territories".
18. Israel trip
333maxwell ,   Portland   (07.03.12)
Good.. Maybe he can talk with them about medical cannabis.. he was so arrogant about it last month. See, the Israeli's are on the forefront of cannabis research and are insisting cannabis be a FIRST line of defense before strong and deadly narcotics (their government even grows it for the patients). They also, like Europe, have the prescribed "Sativex' that is being approved in the US as we speak FOR MS (Mitts wife has MS), but at 18 dollars a one time spray, and you have to spray several times a day, well.. cheaper to make your own. Anyway Mitt, instead of getting snarky next time a reporter asks you a question a thinking man should at least be able to answer honestly, instead of saying 'Don't we have something important to talk about'. Please, for God's sake Mitt, talk to the Israeli's.. you need schooling bad on this subject. 1960's are over.
19. He still hasn't said
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (07.03.12)
He still hasn't said anything about putting the American Embassy in Jerusalem. Newt Gingrich said that it would have been one of the first things he would have done. It should have been Newt.....
20. Pollard Statement wanted
Roland Seener ,   London England   (07.03.12)
21. Traffic Jams
D. R. C. ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.03.12)
It isn't a laughing matter. Every time Bush came to Israel there was havoc in Jerusalem. And for what? Did he do ANYTHING to help the peace process? No, he did NOT. We don't need American presidential candidates to come to Israel and make promises he never intends to keep, while making the lives of Jerusalemites hell. Wait until he's in office (if he gets elected) and IF he starts to do something to help get the peace process moving, he can jam up my traffic as much as he likes.

Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.03.12)
Who rattled the bars on your cage?
23. I say......
macktheknife   (07.03.12)
nobody can be a worse President than the one now in office. He's not even Christian. I know only of him being in church but once since he took office and a lot of complaints and remarks reached his ears, hence his one time in a Christian church. Leave office barak... you are useless!
24. @3 thanks 4 the long lecture! & yes I do say it...
Booker ,   Jerusalem   (07.03.12)
when the visitor is a Democrat. In fact I say it every time an American dignitary comes to visit. Its a gigantic pain in the left ear from all of the sirens and a huge pain in the traffic jam...way too many gappers watching and waiting to get to where ever they are going. Seriously now Alexander my friend, to you the spreader of American Tea Party Republican Rhetoric... boy oh boy you just blew up a whole bunch of hot air ... since you are in TLV why don't you go have a dip in the sea ... clear your head. Then go back and learn a whole bunch of American History!!! Learn history, learn the definitions of all the big political words you use. Find out what loyalty and liberalism really mean ... and then when you are done eating your humble pie come back and share what you learned.
