1. Bibi has lied to Obama,courted the other party why trust him

Whenever Bibi was interviewed about our elections on American TV, he was careful to emphasize that as a head of state of a foreign country, he doesn't get involved. And what you refer to as his "courting of the other party" was merely his welcome to Mitt Romney because they had a personal relationship when they worked for the same company in the 1970's. Also, Bibi made the point that if Pres. Obama were to visit Israel, he would welcome him as well, the way he did when then Sen. Obama was there. Also, one could question why Obama has visited several Muslim countries and yet he never stepped foot in Israel once he became president.....even though he was right in the neighborhood.
3. Israeli Nukes

The ONLY reason that israel is still on the map is because of it's nuclear power,but they don't threaten any country everyday.The day is coming where they won't wait any longer and TEACH the moslems that they are here to stay.

obama is a 100% anti-jew, who only supports israel due to votes and pressure from the jewish community- israel needs to make it very clear, that should we decide the time has come and america is not reliable that we will use "all weapons" at our disposal. even thermonuclear.
5. when Obama visited Israel during his election campaign
Graczek ,   Maryland   (09.02.12)
Netanyahu did not welcome him like he did Romney! Because of this, you now know why you can't trust Israel, this is the best example why. Israel cannot be trusted, a nuclear Iran would bring peace to the ME and our American brothers the Palestinians can get their land back. I remember in 2005 Obama came to a pro-Palestinian rally in Baltimore and he acknowledged that Israel is a problem, and he admitted that the only way America could gain the muslims trust is to do one simple thing, cut Israel off and let them fend for survival, he even said Israel is dragging the US down and practices apartheid. Now you know why Obama let me down, i wish i had taped it, they didn't let any cameras in to the conference, but i am hoping Obama fulfills his promises in his second term!!
6. no 5 from Maryland
AL QUDS ALYAHUDI ,   Mecca   (09.02.12)
I do not blame Israil not to trust OBUMA. OBUMA is Muslim and for sure OBUMA do not favour Israil, aand he will not give $hit if Iran nukes Israil & the Jews. Go on Israil nuke Iran, and your G D will be on your side.Imhi Ismom all Muslims
7. Balancing Act
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (09.02.12)
Obama is doing a balancing act, hpoling his raw anti-Semitism will not be perceived by Jewish voters enough to significantly hurt his support among Jewish voters. It remains above 60% despite his obvious Pro-Muslim bias. I do not need to go beyond the examples of bowing to mideast potentates, refusing to visit Israel, off camera insults to Netanyahu. The list is endless. If this African is re-elected, Israel will see the purest incarnation of his fury against the only democracy in the mideast. The reduction of involvement in the war games while Iran is doubling down with its greatest show of force is deliberate and calculated. Patriot anti-missiles will not be deployed, Aegis mlissile ships will not be either, ground forces cut by 2/3, refusal to share data from X Band radar capable of detecting Iranian missiles from moment of launch...these are not accidental. These acts of betrayal against Israel are the most obama can do without canceling outright the exercise and calling into direct question his veneer of support of Israel. This 'support' exists ONLY to placate Jews in the US.
8. #1 Obama courted Bibi
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (09.02.12)
When Bibi went to the White House to visit, Obama went upstairs to eat supper, without bothering to offer Bibi a sandwich to much on
9. #7. Robert: Don't absolve the Soros-Jews
Tom W ,   USA   (09.02.12)
Weren't for the overwhelming financial, political, media, Hollywood support by the leftist American Jews he would have remained a nameless street organizer. Even today Jews are his main support group: they collect millions for his reelection. All the more sinister this man because most of his advisers are anti-Israeli Jews. We are in a bizarre situation where gentile, Christian, Conservative Americans support Israel and the radical leftist Obama-Jews are her most active opponents.

Sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (09.02.12)
Maybe he thought Israeli's where racist and being a black man he would get the Sudanese treatment. (LOL).
11. When the Presidennt of France
Sarah B   (09.02.12)
tells Obama that Netanyahu is a liar and the President of the United States doesn't bother defending him. Then you know the relationship is broken and it is not Obama's fault. netanyahu obviously promised things that he either wasn't prepared or able to deliver.
12. Israel and Obama
gerry ,   raanana, Israel   (09.02.12)
To #5....I don't think there is a single word in your comment that can be confirmed as true. As much as I oppose Obama and his Administration, I don't believe he said anything you claim he stated at a "pro-Palestinian rally". I'm not surprised that you have no proof whatsoever for your quotes.
13. Pexton forgot to ask why Germany and Japan
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (09.02.12)
shouldn't have been supplied with the same weapons during WWII against the United States and Great Britain. Why shouldn't the United States Doomsday weapons... that they created in the first place ...to protect their population and WIN the WAR....be brought into the discussion as well. This election that no one has the guts to let us talk about....is going to be about Israels survival. And Obama is not up to the task...or on your side. He is a narcistic personna ...thinking only of himself. HE doesn't have your BACK.So quit deluding yourselves about his intentions. Vote accordingly.
14. fire Obama in November
clearerlight ,   Cape Clear   (09.03.12)
Sanctions are a failure. Diplomacy without strong words is a failure.The biggest obstacle to peace are politicians who are eloquent without resolve and credibility. Fire the empty chair.
