91. #56 Is what 50% of Americans think of Israel
SD Charger ,   San Diego   (11.10.12)
The other 50% lost in this election. The good news, at least 50% continue to support Israel, at least for now.
92. Why is everyone worried?!!!
Taz Man ,   USA   (11.10.12)
As a true Christian (Zionist) and supporter of Israel, I'm not worried, nor should anyone else who loves Israel, about that clown Obama; he can do nothing to Israel, because all those who try will be destroyed by God. The reason for all this fear is because most are secularist heathens' who don't believe in God or his Word. I do! Israel is going to be fine; it isn't going anywhere--period! Obama and all the unsaved, lost heathens' are the ones who need to worry of God's judgment! I serve an awesome God who always protects his own! God bless, Israel; praying for the peace of Jerusalem!!!
93. #89 rheina
Michael ,   Haifa   (11.10.12)
There is a great deal of justification in what you write. Maybe America should re-adopt the Monroe Doctrine for a few years and let the world sink into its own mire and squeal about it, especially the spoiled brat, Israel
94. Nr 89. Dear Rheina -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (11.10.12)
-how could the US possibly satisfie all Nations upon earth - ? How could Possibly the Conservatives in the US satisfie the Democrats and vise versa ? Is it not Your Strife within Yourself, which has created your problems, since You was Once upon a time the most blessed Nation upon the Earth. You have wasted you legacy by your own sins. The US must Repent and turn to God the Almighty/The God of Israel, that is Your only option. Selfpity and Apologies will not help. May God bless you by the way. Arn.Sweden.
95. #91 SD Charger - According to Gallup
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (11.10.12)
polls, 63% of Americans support Israel, not all of its supporters bothered to get out to vote
96. ultimately, it's ALL in Hashem's hands!
Riva ,   israel   (11.10.12)
97. Bibi didnt Gamble
Michael Lewis ,   USA   (11.11.12)
You have to be kidding me He gambled and lost BIG time Not only with administration 69 % of US Jews vorted for President 43% of orthodox jews did (Republican Jewish Coalition) He has pissed of the President He has pissed off the US people He has pissed off the Jews I would gamble thats a lost gamble
98. Who believes that Netanyahu would put all his eggs in one ba
Ben Ze'ev ,   Panama City, Panama   (11.11.12)
This is the third time I've sent in a similar comment, neither of which was printed. I'll say it again. Netanyahu is a savvy politician. I don't see that Netanyahu "gambled" in any way. The election was considered all around the world as being too close to call, it could have gone either way, with Obama having a skight, consistent edge. Netahyah knew this as did we all. So, like the leader of a real nation, he was expecting that either would win, and certainly was not foolish to bet on one, as a sure thing. That would have been more like the Arabs, who vote 95% for one man. The writer of this crap is a failed "trying-to-be", and with such drek never will be, a real journalist.
99. Netanyahu prefers lackeys
Canadian for Israel ,   Toronto, Canada   (11.11.12)
Netanyahu gloats over our Canadian prime minister who says things to mirror Netanyahu's belligerence to Palestinians, Obama, and anyone else in the way of Greater Israel. Thank you Obama for being there to remind Netanyahu (and Israelis) that future, security and well-being for a good life of Israelis depends, in part, on Israel's respect for the future, security and well-being for a good life of Israeli Arabs and Palestinians. Netanyahu's Jewish Supremacy is as removed from reality as the American Tea Party. In Canada there are many of us who are ashamed that our prime minister is so naive in foreign affairs that he doesn't understand that all peoples need a just future. Bravo Obama!
100. Sarah B needs to drope the
John Robey ,   Austin, Texas   (11.11.12)
USA part of her national identity. She is not a loyal American when it comes to issues with Israel.
101. Netanyahu the gambler
Harold ,   USA   (11.11.12)
Netanyahu did gamble backing and supporting Mitt Romney trying to dump Presdent Obama but failed and fell on his face and broke his nose.
102. Kissenger said....
TruthMonger   (11.12.12)
...countries do not have friends, they have interests, as long as there are mutual interests, the relationship stays the same. I did not see Bibi at any rallies for Romney, the writer is a pretty petty guy if he thinks that anything that Bibi does makes a difference to Obama. Obama will do whatever he would have done anyway. The fact thatBibi "forced" Obama's hand is a credit to Bibi and helps the world.
103. #100 John Robey
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (11.12.12)
Far be it for the likes of you to criticize, since you're living on land that was stolen from Mexico
104. #101 Harold - Be specific
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (11.12.12)
Where and when did Bibi back Romney, dates & places where he did it
105. Sima Kadmon's Op-ed
Susan Burnett ,   Seattle   (11.19.12)
As an American who grew up with children of Holocaust survivors and who was in full sync with Israel for most of her life, I announce that I have changed my stance. Giving Israel a carte blanche for any action is wrong policy. Netanyahu's arrogance has poisoned my respect for Israel. The refusal to deal justly with the Palestinians who have tried to accommodate Israel and her settlers sickens me.While I condemn Hama's actions, I surely understand their rage. What incentive do they have for peace with the shabby treatment Israel has doled out? Enough with Israel always claiming "victim status."
106. #34 You are ...right. (no offense intended))
On the Balcony ,   Akko/NY/Kyiv   (06.13.13)
