1. Obama's Jews will be raving
Tom W ,   USA   (07.25.12)
Imagine the outrage among the most stalwart supporters of Obamao: T. Friedman, Jstreet, Soros Clan, Hollywood moguls, the entire anti-Netanyahoo leftist coterie... And the sad truth is that all ardent supporters of Israel were expunged from the political scene by the leftist Obamao Court Jews. Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, now Michele Bachmann under fire: Romney will be accused to be a Mormon missionary with hidden agenda of converting the Jews... The vicious depravity of the Obamistas knows no bound. I am the first here to foretell the insidious attack on Romney for his open support of Israel.
2. mittens is right
lenny ,   usa   (07.25.12)
yes, mittens is right. Obama hates the Jews, just ask bin laden and the other scum that he has given orders to kill. romney is a joke, he will be pro Israel today but tell Jew jokes tomorrow.
3. Romney: Bush minus the brains
mea   (07.25.12)
4. Cold war we had already
Valdi ,   Germany   (07.25.12)
USA is fighting it's desintegration and tries to find artificial enemies. Our friends are the Saudis, and Russia is bad. Israel had to fight the wars in the past because of the cold war, and because the USA had guarantied safety for Arab dictators to get the oil for Dollars, and restricted herewith the modernization of their societies. USA didn't get any mandate to lead from Russia or China. It accept the pluralistic world, instead of bullying others and create tensions and let "friends" to fight out their ambitions.
5. If anyone doubted Obama was not for us
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (07.25.12)
Mitt Romney nailed it; Obama is no friend of Israel, having given away the high grounds to our adversaries. Obama plans to debase USA. Smart Anarchist , a man of Evil politics
6. Romney would let Israel commit demographic suicide
COLBERT ,   Treadmill, ISS   (07.25.12)
...with unlimited settlements, eventually leading to a One State solution. Obama would impose '67 borders, end settlements, a two State solution.
7. Nobody tever old this mongrel
lydia ,   Brisbane   (07.25.12)
About belittling the POTUS when overseas and on foreign soil.
8. Romney vs. Obama
Lacy ,   Anderson SC, USA   (07.25.12)
Romney is Israel's friend. Obama is lukewarm at best, and certainly does not have Israel's best interests at heart. However, as Obama's poll numbers continue to drop, he may order a pre-emptive strike on Iran in an all out effort to engender support for his re-election. This ultimately may work to Israel's advantage. Obama will do anything to win a 2nd term.
9. DISGUSTING
postroad ,   USA   (07.25.12)
that Mitt plays politics and badmouths the president who has sent money for protective Dome and who has vowed that Iran will not get nukes...After the usual big mouthing, what does he actually say specificaily he will do if president?
10. Romney Gets My Vote
Edward ,   New York USA   (07.25.12)
Dump Obama, the worst thing that has ever happened to US Citizens, small businesses, taxpayers, and Jews through the world! How can some as inept as Obama talk about experience when all his experience produces is chaos.
11. Foreign Policy Lightweights
Ellen ,   Israel/USA   (07.25.12)
It is funny beyond words to read Obama call Romney a 'foreign policy lightweight" . The former came to the Presidency with experience as a "community organizer" His time in government was almost nothing. He picked Biden in an attempt to have someone on his ticket who knew what a world map looked like. And now, 3.5 years later when Obama's foreign policy have succeeded in making the US, once the strongest nation in the world, a dish rag--he is tossing accusations! Although in fairness, he has familiarized himself with vacation spots all over the world! (on the American taxpayer's tax bill) Please let's have elections already to rid us of this parasite!
12. Obama undermining Israeli leaders
Harold ,   USA   (07.25.12)
Romney's statement is not true. Many times during his administration President Obama authorized his United Nation's Ambassador to use the VITO POWER to back and save Israel. I ask Romney what can he do more.
13. Romney is right on target
Brod ,   USA   (07.25.12)
Romney should continue attacking Obama on this. Obama does not represent the will of Judeo-Christian America. He got two African- American Pastors arrested for praying for him at the White House lawn. But when Islamist-Jihadists come visiting his office he took them in with open arms. He bowed to the Wahhabhist Islamist-Jihadist Saudi king, even though, nineteen of the Islamist-Jihadist terrorists that attacked America on 9/11 and murdered 3000 Americans in cold blood and destroyed the Twin Towers in NY and part of the Pentagon Building, were Saudis! These are all recorded in Youtube for the world to see.
14. obama
sad ,   israel   (07.25.12)
is a curse to the state of israel. somehow he managed to maintain a campaign that he is Israel's "best" friend -but quite the opposite. The man is an arab. he HATES ISRAEL and he needs to be voted out of the WH. I hope that the intellectual (????) american society realizes that. The man is a danger to the world. He, Michelle and his daughters belong back in Chicago. i HOPE and PRAY that he loses these elections. for the USA n for the world. The man has no idea what is happening around the world and his "advisors: much LESS
15. OBAMA IS RUBBISH
DA URBAN POET ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (07.25.12)
16. Romney's sold his soul for the Jewish Vote
Raphael NYC   (07.25.12)
Tacit approval of the illegal Israeli occupation, land theft and settlements won't win him many American votes, especially when money wasted on supporting a non-viable Israeli theocracy could be better spent on the needs of the American taxpayer, especially the poor.
17. Maybe all Politicians talk the talk before
eli ,   jerusalem   (07.25.12)
elections but Obama never sounded like this on his best days! I am voting for Mitt Romney and I hope other Jews will break free of their democrat ancestors and join me!
18. And Romney is undermining the President of the United States
Ali Ziad ,   Washington, DC   (07.25.12)
19. agree w #s 11 & 13
Peter ,   Kingston, Canada   (07.25.12)
Obama only allowed Netanyahu + his entourage through the side door of the WH during recent visit and snubbed him at his dinner table, what gaul! Romney & Bibi go way back, their relations are & would be way warmer, like friends ought to be. Obama can't even provide a legitimate birth certificate or social security #! He is an illegitimate President! On top of all this he is the first sitting POTUS to give an OK to gay marriage, wasn't God's punishment of Sodom and Gomorrah enough of an example? US Jews, please, do the right thing in November & diselect this abomination! You would soil yourselves by voting for him.
20. #16 - You need to change your viewpoint
Scott ,   Haifa   (07.25.12)
Yeshua the Son of God said to the Jewish people over 2000 years ago, you will not see me again untill you say, "Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord", which means there will be a united Israel that will welcome their Messiah back again. The God of Israel establishes and blesses Israel...you cannot curse what God has blessed, lest your soul be in the hands of someone other than the God of Israel.
21. # 17 eli
Ethan ,   Eilat   (07.25.12)
You want to have your cake and eat it too? Legally you can vote in the States, but should you vote both here in and there? I don't think so. I don't think a one issue vote is a wise thing either. A strong moral America is a healthy America, A strong America is good for Israel and the Jews. Give Obama 4 more years, let the GOP know their war on Women and minorities is unacceptable .
22. Romney the liar
Josh ,   New York, USA   (07.25.12)
Romney is a phony who will say any lie to get elected. The fact is Obama is the greatest friend Israel has had since Harry Truman and the facts back it up: Obama provided Israel with the largest amount of American military aid in U.S. history, including: * Over $3 billion per year to assist Israel’s military to ensure it has the latest and most efficient technologies and weapons available; and * $205 million in supplemental funding to develop the Iron Dome missile system, praised by Israel’s defense leaders for its “exceptional” success at saving the lives of Israelis who live under threat from Hamas’ rockets. Obama restored Israel’s Qualitative Military Edge (QME) with advanced weaponry by: * Selling Israel bunker busting bombs and F-35 fighter planes while fast-tracking arms sales; * Cooperating on U.S.-Israel joint efforts such as the Arrow and David’s Sling missile systems; * Committing American troops to the 2009 Juniper Cobra and 2012 Austere Challenge joint military exercises—the largest and most extensive exercises ever with Israel; * Authorizing Israel to use American weapons stored in Israel during an emergency; and * Working with Israel to combat smuggling into Gaza. Obama’s diplomatic support for Israel is unparalleled. Obama: * Forcefully opposed the Palestinians’ attempt to unilaterally declare a state; * Rallied the world against a nuclear-armed Iran and continues to lead the sanctions effort by example; * Voted with Israel 100% of the time at the United Nations, a first in modern history; * Defended Israel’s legitimacy on the world stage, and vocally protested efforts to isolate Israel at the United Nations and in UN bodies; * Consistently affirmed the U.S.-Israel bond; and * Asserted Israel’s right to self-defense repeatedly—including against the Gaza flotilla. Obama personally came to Israel’s aid immediately when it needed it most. Obama: * Answered Israel’s “3am phone call” and personally intervened to rescue Israel’s diplomats in Cairo; and * Personally ordered that Israel receive “whatever it need[ed]” to put out the Carmel fire.
23. No. 7 Lydia
NYC Girl   (07.25.12)
I would suggest that before you comment, you know what the hell you're talking about. Romney has specifically said he will NOT say anything critical of Obama while he's overseas.
24. No. 16 Raphael
NYC Girl   (07.25.12)
Here's a news flash for you. Israel is NOT a theocracy...but, obviously, you're another one of those "experts." In fact, the majority of Israelis are secular and so your misapprehension that Israel is something like the Jewish version of Iran...is quite frankly bullshit.
25. Vote for Romney
Dwolf ,   San jose ca   (07.25.12)
Obama unfettered in a second term is dangerous. We Jews must Take our democratic blinders off amd really see him for who he is. He is so much like Carter except Carter is smarter. And we know how well that one played out for us.
26. Give that man a Bell's!
ex-frummie ,   Johannesburg S.A.   (07.25.12)
America vote Romney and save your country from BHO
27. This hebrew votes for Mitt, hands down the best leader of
hippocrates ,   earth   (07.25.12)
the two.
28. Ron Paul
(07.25.12)
America lost its last chance to rise from the dead when it rejected Ron Paul. The country is lost and rotten to the core.. The old elite has been replaced by a new elite with no morals who care only about their own wealth and power and will do anything to stay in power. Weep for America , lost nation , once great , now corrupted and broken by influence peddlers and thieves.
29. One thing Mitt forgot...
frauss ,   Jerusalem   (07.25.12)
The biggest torpedo launched by Obama ever: stopping building in the settlements on the West Bank. It gave Abu Mazen his golden pass key to stop all negotions forever.
30. #18 Not true, but Obama DEFINITELY UNDERMINED BUSH
Netanya ,   Netanya   (07.25.12)
calling Bush irresponsible and unpatriotic for the debt he incurred, while Obama has done accumulated MUCH more DEBT on the "Chinese credit card"
