TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI ,   QUDS HAKA ALYAHUD   (01.15.13)
Zipi said QUOTE: Once Israel initiates this & the world will stands with us. This sort of speeches was said before we gave lands back, such as Gaza, Lebanon, and Sinai. Did the world stood by Israel ? No, non, NO !!!!!!!!, but we made the world to demand more & more. The whole world hates Jews & Israel, and they will only wish that Israel & the Jews to disappear not tomorrow but now. Israel should not bow to the world. Do the leftist Jews wants the JEWS to go in exile again for another 2000 years to be under the feet and threat of other nations. This time G D forbid we loos Israel, this will be the end of the JEWS STAND FIRM AND SHOW STRENGTH. TO HELL THOSE WHO WANTS THE JEWS TO BE DESTROYED

who needs cancer?
64. like bar cochba
shmoulik ,   hadera   (01.15.13)
just in the time of bar cocchba, people told him just the same, now you are winning, but you don' t compromise, you will loose evrything, and that,s what happend, if israel want to keep all and not compromise, we will see the end of israel
65. Even more true of the American electorate
David ,   Israel   (01.15.13)
66. All this BS talk about US Aid and so on
Chopper4 ,   CPT, South Africa   (01.15.13)
Stop US Aid to Israel...as what one talkbacker wrote, that will hurt the US more than Israel. In 2010 US Aid to Israel was $36 million. 2009 was $40 million and 2008 was $45 million. from this we can deduce that US Aid to Israel for 2012 will be around $20 million. Military Aid is totally different because US companies have to be used. Therefore US needs Israel more than vice versa. $1 billion in military aid means $1 billion is put into the US economy. Then again the Palestinians in 2010 got $694 million, 2009 $1billion, 2008 $550 million. This is money that the US will never see again. The Palestinians do not get any military aid so they do not help the US economy. The Palestinians are more of a burden to the US economy than Israel will ever be. Sources: USAID.
67. spyguy seattle usa.
LION OF JUDAH ,   Jews fight like LION   (01.15.13)
Both countries needs each other. Middle East is very important place for Military base and the Russians will be delighted to get military base in Israel. Before Israel was born AMERICA was not on our side, and your late president once said simple mathmetics, Jews in Israel 600,000 against few hundreds millions of Arabs, Israel will not survive. Proven he was wrong. For sure America still needs Israel, and hopefully the next president will be on our side
68. "Eldar" from Haifa - European "friends"
Mitzi   (01.15.13)
You have considerable talents as a comedian or clown, we should grant you that. "Our" european friends - perhaps yorus, the far-left's (and Ynet's?). Definitely not Israel's and Israelis as a whole. You are thankfully a tiny-tiny minority, thank God!
69. Stick your heads above the Ghetto walls, Jews are not alone
miki ,   tampa   (01.15.13)
70. Do ya think the US will risk losing its last ME foothold?
Joe Fraser   (01.15.13)
I would guess not.
71. How much global damage can B.O. cause in 4 years.
Joe Fraser   (01.15.13)
Wait and see. So far he has brought to us he Islamic Spring, and has armed the Salafists by sending weapons to them in Libya. He has also managed to erode th US' superpower status by trying to fit it with the European globe destroyers. Next on the agenda, he US constitution. The USA is the greatest country on Earth, but B.O. thinks it needs to change. Watch B.O. stink it up for 4 more years.
72. obama
dave ,   cinci   (01.15.13)
obama is really teh most arragant sob this country has ever had he believe he is smarter then everyone and refuses to listen to anyone
73. Since when did America know whats good for itself
Africa Rabbi ,   Africa   (01.15.13)
74. Confused Obama
Brod ,   USA   (01.15.13)
Obama should stop playing god. He does not seem to know the subject well. How an incompetent and ignorant President could be reelected is incomprehensible.
75. The truth hurts
Giora Me'ir ,   USA   (01.15.13)
Hence, the rightist wailing on here.
76. ignorant experts
i.zwick ,   nyc   (01.15.13)
Israel has many experts in the govt, military, and academia who understand Israeli culture, history, security, geography, and demography. Netanyahu is one of the most knowledgeable of all. Yet outsiders such as Obama, Goldberg, Friedman, and Beinart think that they know best and have a right to tell Israel what to do. They wouldn't dare tell the European countries how to conduct their affairs, but treat Israel as if it's an American suburb.
77. Ask Native Americans How They Feel...
ACortez ,   Anaheim, CA, USA   (01.15.13)
...about not having the opportunity to have the UN give their land back to them stolen by Europeans. Bibi should remind Obama that his position as the President of America doesn't give him the authority over how the Jews decide to build within their country. The Jews have only taken back what was stolen from them by Christians and Muslims.
78. Obama - wants Israel to Fail
Tova ,   Canada   (01.15.13)
Obama has not shown support for Israel. Obama would prefer to Israel under the ownership of the US. Any American President who supports Israel. should support announcement of all new settlements. This is what a true ally of Israel does. These settlements are lands that belong to Israel and the word "Occupation" doesn't exist. It's a word Arabs created this word - Let Israel refrain from such words and continually use the term "Our Land". Teach Obama the settlements don't exist. Israeli cities are growing, just like American cities within the US. Teach Obama that if he supports Israel - He must also support Israeli growing new cities within her boarders.
79. Israel must survive which means Right Wing must lose.
Michael ,   California, USA   (01.15.13)
80. #78 Tva: Your are probably right!
DavidB ,   Israel   (01.15.13)
However, we should not be helping him! The further right we go the further we will be isolated and the more Obama will smile! He IS the President of the United States and he WILL be there for the next four years and, let's face it, the Jews helped him big time! The USA will survive Obama but will Israel survive an extreme right wing government? NIS 40 billion is a big hole to fill and Bibi says no tax increases and the famous "Bibi Bomb" says no defense cuts. Ha Ha! The middle class will pay the taxes and the Haredim will dance!
81. Greater Crises
Zechariah   (01.15.13)
The war in Syria and chemical weapons are bigger problems.E 1 is counterproductive and the current settler blok ought think about money taken from Heath education welfare and military hardware .
82. Waiting for the RedLine
Zechariah   (01.15.13)
Israel waits for the red line to consolidate options and justify support from more Jews and non Jews nuclear proliferation is the really big danger.The Jews outnumbered need the tactical nuclear weapons and every where there ought be massive nuclear shelters warning systems Drills and A anti ballistic shield.
83. Obama doesn't know what's good for the U.S.
al ,   canada   (01.15.13)
84. tHE u.s. is about to collapse and go through a major
a ,   canadA   (01.15.13)
upheaval. obama is trying to curry favour with the upcoming superpower, Iran, and its allies. The U.S. has been destroyed economically by its enemies. I truly fear for the future. Mihu hachacham- haroeh et hanolad.
85. Non-sovereign land taken over defending ourselves from attac
Martin ,   SA   (01.15.13)
Non-sovereign land taken over defending ourselves from attack #78 and #80.. If you are lost for appropriate terminology this our international legitamate claim. In 67 we were attacked by Egypt Sria and Jordan. We defended ourselves and in the process Yehuda Shomron Golan and Gaza were secured to us as our land. Thanks Sarah B for defining this again yesterday.
86. Obama doesn't understand what is in best interest of USA!
Jouko ,   Finland   (01.15.13)
It seem that if US follows Obama's policy, US stops being a super-power!
87. #80 - David I also agree
Tova ,   Canada   (01.15.13)
Israeli & jews should teach the real since - since Hodrian from the Roman Empire called the Palentian because he knew it would anger the Jews. Today we much teach the people this history up to 1948 - 1967. Israel reclaimed her lands. It is up to the Jews/israeli everywhere to no use the term "occupation" When Bibi speaks or anyother regular person speak say "our land". people where I work when they occupation - I say palenstian occupation are taking away Israeli land. they think twice before arguing with me.
88. and obama who hates us knows whats best
alan ,   nyc ny   (01.15.13)
obama is just waiting to nail all of israel . somebody or anybody even the president can not speak . we must build and grow .
89. Funny, Obama says nothing against
Joan ,   USA   (01.15.13)
France now fighting in Mali against Islamic fundamentalists.Livin said days ago she would make foreign policy announcement-oddly she did, right after this story.Odd coincidences the recent days EU,Peres,Olmert and others speak against BB? Is this coordinated by the leader who " leads from behind" ? Obama cannot be trusted
90. #56 SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE TEL-AVIV
DA RAP ARTIST ,   SAFED RAP HOUSE   (01.15.13)
