1. No real surprise that Netanyahu spat out his dummy
Sarah B ,   London/Tel Aviv   (09.07.12)
and threw his rattle out of the plan. Netanyahu seems to believe that the United States as the Goy in the Goyim is there to provide Israel with whatever Israel requires, whether it be money, weapons, or an attack on Iran. The fact President Obama has refused to ask how high when told to jump (unlike Bush when asked by Olmert) has upset Netanyahu beyond measure. Which to be honest has been quite entertaining as Netanyahu does his best to destroy the fabric of society in Israel in order to keep his name on the door of the Prime Minister's Office
2. BB must get rid of netanyahu, NO 1 trusts him any more. so
Sarah B ,   U.S.A/Israel   (09.07.12)

(09.07.12)
4. He's Ambassador because he's Bambi's supporter
ab   (09.07.12)
That's his only qualification.
5. I feel sorry for Mr. Shapira, Mr. B.H.Obama's representative
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (09.07.12)
to Israel, having to represent a President who: 1. Refuses to accept that Jerusalem is Israel's capital city, and does so only under pressure 2. Singles out Jews, because they are Jewish, and demand that they limit their living space on earth, including in villages, towns and even city neighborhoods of their homeland of 4,000 years 3. Attempts to dictate to Israel its future borders, while doing so contrary to both international law and bilateral agreements between Israel and its Arab neighbors It is time for a change, as Mr. B.H.Obama called for in 2008...!!
6. # 1 and 2 a couple of teenagers
David ,   On this planet   (09.07.12)
Go back to school and get a life . No one is interested in your stupid comments
7. Total lack of respect.
(09.07.12)
I hope Bibi threw his backside out, and told him to come back once he had brushed up on diplomatic protocol. What a disgraceful Administration.
8. The post at No. 2 is not mine.
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.07.12)
9. The post at #8 is a FAKE, as 1 can see NOT mine therefore.
Sarah B ,   U.S.A/ Israel   (09.07.12)
10. Who needs the US anyway?
Sarah B. ,   U.S.A./Israel   (09.07.12)
Who needs the US anyway? Decadence sans elegance. Time to look for new partners like China, Russia, Brazil. These ones seem to be reliable and closer to our needs and interests. Romney and Obama are the same: both anti-Semitic and haters of the Jewish people and Israel.
11. hey Shapiro ! Respect our PM ! U are a thug !
(09.07.12)
12. Sorry, Dan, but BHO's words aren't persuading
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (09.07.12)
Obama can say he won't "allow" Iran to go nuclear (as if Iran seeks US permission) or that "all options are on the table" as often as he will, but it doesn't change the facts. Israel has granted the US over three years to get the job done, yet the Iranian nuclear project continues without cessation. Congressman Rogers, present at this meeting, writes that the US has made clear to Israel the consequences of an Israeli attack - no military backing and no political support - but has not been as clear with Iran. It was the US *Congress* that has pushed hardest for sanctions, and Obama who's granted thousands of waivers which weaken those sanctions. Iran sees the US as a paper tiger which will eventually accept Iran as a nuclear power. Obama wanted "daylight" between the US and Israel; well, he's got it. "Four more years" of this is a scary thought.
13.  #10 if you dont like the USA get out
Joy ,   NJ   (09.07.12)
14. Not Sarah B's writing style don't buy 1, 2, 9, 10.
Get Lost Imposter   (09.07.12)
15. obama is a catastrophe
david ,   new york   (09.07.12)
for israel, but more so a catastrophe for america
16. Bibi's a blathering fool with no credibility at this point..
Rafi ,   US   (09.07.12)
He's lied on so many occasions, no one believes him even when he may acutally be telling the truth... For those Talkbackers demanding "respect" - you must be kidding! Get a handle on some realties: the US is a superpower currently pre-occupied with major economic problems and winding down existing wars in the Mid East. "Iran" is an ISRAELI pre-occupation - AND not that of the US at the moment. Meanwhile, according to this story, Bibi is "demanding" that the US get involved in another Mid East mess. This from a guy who has "dissed" Obama on every occasion. So lots of luck with that.... Personally I would have told Bibi to go F- himself in even stronger terms than the ambassador apparently did...
17. Shapiro should have thrown him out of the embassy
David   (09.07.12)
like a bratty spoiled child.
18. This is more proof the US and other adults need to leash...
Persian CAT   (09.07.12)
the unhinged Zionist crusader who's willing to endanger the lives of many Iranians, Israelis and others to satisfy his crazy wet dreams. Obama will not let this idiot, Bibi Natanyahu, to spoil everything for everyone.
19. #1 Sarah B.
Rick S. ,   USA   (09.07.12)
You are forgetting that W. Bush ia pro Israel & Obama is not. Also you can't compare Olmert with Bibi since Olmert has no balls and caved in to every demand from US & EU. Bibi stands up to those who do not support or care for Israel. Obama is very wishy-washy on Israel because the Jews support him financially & politically. I, as a Jew, do not understand the Jewish love affair with the Left, which hates us.
20. #13 There is freedom of speech in the US .
Joe Smith   (09.08.12)
Anyone who lives in the US can criticize the government. You should get out. I hate Obama. Why don't you make me leave keyboard warrior?
21. Who needs the US
Leonard Spitz ,   Delray Beach,Fl   (09.08.12)
Sara,you've said some dumb things but this one takes the cake. As an American Jew I can tell you there is no better friend to Israel than us. For all of Obama's decisions,the fact remains that the U.S. is the ONLY friend Israel has.Russia,Brazil anyone would throw us to the wolves for arab oil..
22. Israel + USA
lightharry ,   New York   (09.08.12)
It is time for Israel and the USA to go their different ways. Any attempt to help Israel is just a request for more handouts and more demands and more insults to the USA. Obama is our elected President and the insults out of Israel are a direct insult to the American people. Israel will pay for this one day.
23. @ The real Sarah B
Sheik Rattle & Roll ,   USA   (09.08.12)
Please take your friendship and go. I wuuld sure like to see China & Russia stop Iran's nuclear program or use there UN VETO to protect Israel. I am sure the Chinese would cut off oil sales from Iran tommorrow if Israel said they would increase ties. What a joke for even suggesting that Israel severe ties with the WEST and increase ties with China and Russia.
24. @7 Bibi did show Shapiro his backside but
Milk D ,   USA/East Coast   (09.08.12)
He didn't realize Shapiro was prepared to kick him in his backside. Next time he should stand up while Bibi is talking and kick him in the nuts. Learn your place and your role Bibi.
