he may have a Israeli name But He Is A Brash u.s. jew. How Many "F" bombs did he drop with Ehud behind close doors? Besides Bibi Is A Man Who should discuss matters Face To Face with b.H.o. Of Coarse When He Has The Time??????????
3. Time for new names in the political arena
Arnold ,   Canada   (09.20.12)
Barak, Peres, Netanyahu. Honestly i am getting tired of the same old same old. Israel needs new blood with new ideas for the future of the country. Meanwhile in the USA neither presidential candidate is a shining beacon of hope. for their future.
4. did they meet over squid?

6. #2 Rahm
miguel ,   israel   (09.21.12)
i was unsure of Rahm when he was brought into the Obama Administration. But after hearing that he left bec. of the administrations footdragging; i started to reconsider my opionion of him. In fact, he's done quite a good job as mayor of Chicago. I'm actually surprised the teachers strike didn't go on for longer. As for dropping F bombs? please... call him 'passionate' but don't dismiss him.
7. President obama
Sean Howard ,   Chicago....U.S.   (09.21.12)
Please refer to our leader as President Obama. You correctly said Mayor Rham Emanuel......don't disrespect our nation's Leader.....he is the President and was voted in office by a vast majority of Americans.
8. Rahm does love Israel.
Reuven   (09.21.12)
9. Rahm.
michael Pielet ,   Israel   (09.21.12)
Rahm is a dirt bag. Rahm is no friend of the Jews or Israel. Rahm is for Rahm. Rahm only hurt Israel in the White House.
10. I love you dear Arab brethren
Ehud Barak ,   Western Al-Quds   (09.21.12)
I'm trying to smoothe things over so no one will attack either you or our dear Iranian brethren, love, always, Uncle Ehud PS The Jews still think I'm on THEIR side, ha ha laughing my axe off!!
11. Barak needs to figure out to keep this behind closed doors.
Dan S.   (09.21.12)
LOL... That photo of Obama and Emanuel says it all.... Anyways, Barak would do best to use the back channels to shut up the press and pundits on both sides of the Atlantic on this issue. Most of the "tension" which would normally remain out of site is being brought into the public sphere and only amplified by these elements, with the upcoming American election serving as more fuel to the fire.
12. Hey Rahm
Toby   (09.21.12)
Sent any dead fish gifts lately?
13. Why Barak with Emanuel? Add secrecy and you'll have Oslo-2.
leo ,   usa   (09.21.12)
14. #7
Daniel   (09.21.12)
yeah but he is still a lying jackass and a fool.
15. Rahm= Josephus
JL   (09.21.12)
16. Yea! Listen to #7. He's the Communist in Chief. And Barak...
tzila ,   Modiin, Israel   (09.21.12)
Here he comes to save the day! A real Mighty Mouse. G_d help us all!
17. couldn't be too 'secret'
tz   (09.21.12)
Water seeks its own level...get it?
18. Barak!, don't waste your time;
observer ,   Egypt   (09.21.12)
Rahm doesn't believe in Tikkun Olam. And, in the first place, the damage was done by your own Prim Minister.
19. Sean @7, I see your point.
leo ,   usa   (09.21.12)
First, Obama is my president and I will refer to him any way I see fit. Second, respect is not granted, respect is earned and Obama is yet to earn mine. Third, when you will tell the story you will pick the words you seem right and proper. Fourth, I am absolutely certain that you were always calling Bush 'President Bush' and you always saying not Romney, but Governor Romney.
20. Barak gave Rahm crucial advice on how
seadog1946 ,   ArthurKill, NJ   (09.21.12)
to deal/negotiate with teacher unions.
21. Buying the samething twice
Matt   (09.23.12)
That is what happened with the peace process. If Netanyahu wants to wash his hands off this an early election next year allow the US to overthrow his coalition And Iran is some else problem, and he did not back down and then can hold that position in opposition. Iran builds the bomb, Government has a decision strike or not strike. Problem gone Netanyahu voted back in. But it is not about politics. You wanted to see the backdoor there it is. Why because we serve the PM.
22. That also works well
Matt   (09.23.12)
For the Chief of Staff the head of Mossad and Shin Bet. It is a big backdoor, plenty of room for everyone.
23. from the looks of that pic
Larry Sinclair ,   undisclosed   (09.23.12)
it seems that Rahm is getting ready to dine on Barry's squid
