1. "Renew bonds with allies", certainly! Why don't we begin by
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (09.14.12)
setting up red lines to those who wish to annihilate your only ally in the region...??!!
2. Why not come to Israel ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.14.12)
.... and deliver the message personally? Otherwise, it's just meaningless babble.
3. it's an election year and I need Jew votes
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (09.14.12)
this is the only reason the muslim in chief of the U.S. wants to renew the broken bond for the high holidays. in my opinion any Jew that votes for obummer is not really paying attention to the facts.
4. our friends and allies including Israel
tambour ,   eilat   (09.14.12)
Obama could not make it clearer Israel as friend and ally of USA is optional Included this year, but may not be next. Who said who will rid me of this Kenyan American
5. Jimmy Carter chapter two
Bad Ased Jew ,   United States   (09.14.12)
failure, flops, and frolicking, and soon, a new US President. Have you ever seen such a weenie as obama?
6. Too Little Too Late
Ron G. ,   NYC   (09.14.12)
Actions speak louder than words.
7. Whith friend like Obama
Zoe ,   Los Angeles/ISRAEL   (09.14.12)
Who needs enemies? Don't trust a word this muslim says, he'll do anything for the votes.
8. Translation: I want votes & $ from dumb liberal Jews.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.14.12)
It's very easy to translate Obama's election eve "Let's renew our alliance" rhetoric. It means, "I want votes and money from dumb liberal Jews".
9. NO renewal and NOOOOOOOOO reelection
Marco ,   Spain   (09.14.12)
10. Weak presidency
Toby   (09.14.12)
Weak presidency, support for Arab Spring, ousting 30 year friendship in our loyal ally Mubarak, appeasement policy, misunderstanding of the illogical theocracy called Islam, getting sucked into their game, etc etc
11. maybe it is finally dawning on this
Barney ,   USA   (09.14.12)
president. so called leader of the free world that radical islam is spitting in his face and Israel is the only reliable friend in the middle east. it takes some people longer than others to get it.
12. Oybama
Rick S. ,   USA   (09.14.12)
Is he kidding? He just wants more money from his many left wing Jewish supporters. If God forbid he gets re-elected, he will throw Israel under the bus, and do so with my fellow Jews support. Those Libs still think that FDR was a friend of the Jews.
13. "Let's renew bond", no problem, on Nov. 7th.
leo ,   usa   (09.14.12)
14. Renew bond with Obama ? Better to
DT ,   TA Israel   (09.14.12)
be friends with anyone but him
15. waffle waffle
joemoer ,   israel   (09.14.12)
i for one think its time for hussein to go home...back to hawaii and let the chair become someone elses.
16. Keep Your Lies Out of Our Holiday
Richard ,   USA   (09.14.12)
Obama's actions speak louder than his false words. He has done more to delegitimize and isolate Israel than any President since Israel's founding. Any American Jew who votes for this man is like the American Jews who turned their backs on the Holocaust during the 40's. It is shameful of them to back this president who is actually helping Iran achieve its nuclear goals through his dithering and incompetence and ideological leftist leanings.
17. Actions speak louder than words. Obama slated to meet Morsi
hippocrates ,   earth   (09.14.12)
not Bibi. Go figure. PLO friends, anti smeitic preacher, Muslim background (Hussein is not from the Gospel, lol). Connect the dots, he is no real friend of the Jewish state.
18. It must be clear: Israel is and has been the oldest, closest
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (09.14.12)
and most loyal ally of the US in the region of the Middle East and North Africa. There isn't a single other allied country on which the US can rely more than on Israel. Israel, and the citizens of Israel, hold the US, its people and its Congressional representatives in very high esteem. But, Israel refuses to be constantly insulted by the temporary President of the US, to have its leaders and symbols of government verbally and behaviorally abused. And can't understand how the occupant of the Oval Office refuse to set up red lines in front of those eager to bring about Israel's demise, but is almost eager to place a red line over Israel and the citizens of this nation-state of the Jewish people.
19. thank you for your sincere wishes
joe ,   northern israel   (09.14.12)
and may i remind you what you said to Sarkozy off record but on camera "you complain?I'm stuck with him/them every day" Your big friends at the Arab world will show you these coming days how short their memory is and how effective your uotlook on world-politics is.We too wish you a good year, getting used to your new staus of citizen in the US after the elections.By the way I am confident your old life will look much better than Hillary's once she comes back
20. Calm thyselves with thoughts of November
Cameron ,   USA   (09.14.12)
21. Obama demands serial 2-states for Israel every 50 years.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (09.14.12)
Obama is not the one who can restore the Balfour, create a Coptic state in Egypt, make Lebanon Christian again.
22. I want to know
(09.14.12)
Were his shoes on the table when he gave the greetings?
23. We dont need yr new year greetings
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (09.14.12)

Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (09.14.12)
