31. The writer of this story is close to livni and obama
jason ,   sderot israel   (01.15.13)
Livni in charge with obama would be a disaster. He would say jump she would say how high. She was in the u.s for his inauguration and talked how excited she was about it.
32. Arrogance and interference
Don Straub ,   Euclid, Ohio,USA   (01.15.13)
After falsely accusing Bibi of interference in U.S. elections, Obama strikes out at the Israeli PM. How low! And what great arrogance is exhibited by Obama, telling Israel what policies are in its own best interests. Bibi's decisions are careful, deliberate and vital to Israeli survival.
33. Mostly clever
Zechariah   (01.15.13)
We don't need E1 yet and it ought be internationalized with a state of the art medical and research facilities for Arabs and Jews deep underground shelters A humanitarian psychiatric and Religious research centre and ringed with an anti ballistic missile shield.I think Livni is too hard on the Haredim for all their faults for the had the highest death rates in the Shoah .Sure if they want to fight and do civil service it's good but they are our traditional heritage in another orbit true Zionism is for Jewish survival it ought evolve as a survivalist sect with a Jewish soul.
34. problem is ego & ambition rather than brains
zionist forever   (01.15.13)
After the 2009 election when Bibi appointed Peres to be PM rather than her she refused at east three offers by Bibi to join a unity government but her price was a rotating premiership which he refused so she stuck with Kadima and destroyed the party. By the time Mofaz came along the damage was done. This time round Shelly offered her the number 2 slot on the Labor list. Livni would bring her die hard supporters from Kadima and together they would topple Bibi. Livni's price was again a rotating premiership which Shelly refused. So her solution was form her own party at the last minute and it was a party that had no policy, she was just hoping she could grab Labor voters who preferred her because Shelly is a rookie and she is a little to far left. The Livni fashion lasted a couple of weeks when it was clear she had nothing to offer she started dropping like a stone. If she allows her brains to make decisions rather than her ego she will join a coalition with Bibi even if its not one of the very top ministries. If she stays in opposition next time round everybody will have forgotten all about her. Lapid also needs to accept he won't get a top ministry, he seems to have his eye on defense but if he does let his ego or hatred of the religious take over jut like Livni he won't be fashionable anymore next time round and he also wil be forgotten about.
35.  obama's hostility has been ongoing
trump   (01.15.13)
since his inauguration . This sentence is just a remainder of his hostility towards the whole Jewish People. Now feigele, you can hibernate !
36. Livni the great judge of character demanded talks with assad
jason ,   sderot israel   (01.15.13)
Assad who is so close to hezbollah unlike his father amd who supplied hezbollah with long range missiles and bunkers.
37. Livni Is A Fool
A Yid ,   Jerusalem   (01.15.13)
Livni is incompetent. She is a toady to Obama, and supports his threats and insults against Israel, and the anti-Israel positions of the EU.
38. Bibi you are isolated:-) with all of us around you !
Daniela   (01.15.13)
Bibi the one an only for Israel Bibi + Benett + Shas ! VOTE Come 'on ! we need a strong and scaring Israel !
39. Had enough listening to promises
sam sweiry ,   Eastbourne UK   (01.15.13)
It seems to me only at election time Politicians Promises Lot of things even if they dont make sense - Tell me who is talking sense? - I really dont understand any of those election talks - Anyone really serious?
40. Livni: Watch carefully. I WILL VOTE FOR BIBI
Ari ,   Jerusalem   (01.15.13)
41. American Jews voted for Obama.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (01.15.13)
We warned you on this very website to get rid of this pariah. You think he is putting the shaft to you....get in line.
42. Livni slave for OBuma
(01.15.13)
Please can somebody zip her stinky mouth !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
43. Obama should live one year in Sderot
Steve ,   Atlanta USA   (01.15.13)
Obama should also serve a military with the same level of courage that Bibi and Ehud Barack served the IDF. And, G-d forbid Obama from suffering the same kind of loss the Netanyahus, Fogels and countless other Israelis have suffered from "peace loving" Muslims. Obama should walk a mile in Netanyahu's shoes. But, then again, Obama isn't fit to shine Netanyahu's shoes, much less walk any distance in them.
44. Hey Tzipi... why don't you just take off your panties and...
Tzipi the zona ,   of Israel   (01.15.13)
stick your bush in Obama's face? You've done just about everything else to show him you'll play his game You are absolutely DISGUSTING.
45. Obama Mr gun control wanted PA to have guns in jerusalem
jason ,   sderot israel   (01.15.13)
He wanted PA police to be able to have guns in jerusalem and bibi rejected him. Obama would say jump and livni would say how high.
46. Great Job YNet!!
Israeli 2   (01.15.13)
Show more such articles...more reasons why Israelis will not vote for her. She is a coward with self interests and her president is Obama. She is working for him against the well being of Israel.
47. Obama is anti-Israel not anti-BB
Golan ,   Modiin   (01.15.13)
this fiction that Netanyahu is responsible for the tension with the US is as stupid as it is dangerous. Obama has bent over backwards to bring Israel (non BB) and the US to a crisis. For four years Netanyahu allowed the Obama administration enough rope to hang itself. The problem is Obama, not Israel and not the US
48. problem is livni, abbas already rejected all your proposals
Scott ,   Ramat Fan, Israel   (01.15.13)
49. #19 and a Better Idea
Howard ,   Seattle USA   (01.16.13)
I have a better idea for you Steve.After reading your anti Semetic rants for sometime now why don'y you go into therapy and find out why you hate Jews so much and want Israel to disappear.
50. MSM. Please stop trying to influence Israel's elections !
michael redbourn ,   Arad Israel   (01.16.13)
51. I Agree
Ron ,   USA   (01.16.13)
I have to say that I agree with you.
52. Hussein Obama's Comments & Livni
Son Of Cyrus ,   UK   (01.16.13)
Mr Hussein Obama broght MB & Morsi to Power. He has said: "I have become inured to Israel's self-defeating policies," Obama stressed – in a stance much harsher than the official US government declarations. Mr Mohhamad Morsi's Comments in 2010 are already well documented on video. Miss Livni would like to cooperate with these guys!!! Need I say more?
53. Wake Up Call!
Son Of Cyrus ,   UK   (01.16.13)
Correct!!! They are trying to destroy Jewish History, Culture, Civilization & Way Of Life. All good people of the world, take notice! Jews of the world in particular Israelis wake up and defend yourselves by all means,
54. Livni
Leib ,   New York   (01.16.13)
It is about time that the Jewish people act like Jews not like Livni and her kind and stop to sell out to any country that try's to undermine the Jewish country and it's people shame on people like that that can be bribed for money shame on Livni and he kind
55. Any politician worth their salt will
SD Charger ,   San Diego   (01.16.13)
not allow a photo-op or comment go un-noticed. Livni is using Obama's comments to spread fear of the "right." Obama is left and Netanyahu is right. There is balance in that one side will not over-run the other. If you elect another "Leftie" the balance will be off and Israel will pay the consequence. But then again, I realize most Israeli's know this already, so don't fall for her "photo-op" comment.
56. Livni
Henry ,   Philippines   (01.16.13)
My dear Ms Livni, Either you are dreaming or just blinded by politics. No Muslim in his or her right mind will ever make peace with Israel. The kind of peace that Israel gets from Muslims is at best temporary. It will last only until they get strong enough to destroy Israel. The US is going to fall shortly and you will be left without a strong friend. Your best bet is God but you cannot bet on God's help until you surrender to Immanuel. Do not dream that you can get Muslims interested in peace. They themselves are killing each other at the same time they swear to their god that they will destroy Israel. Wake up Ms Livni.
57. Who believes Goldberg?
michael Pielet ,   Raanana, Israel   (01.16.13)
Nice, very nice.Why did Tsipi not do the above when she was fForeign Minister. People in politics in an election campaign will say anything. Obama never said what Goldberg claims he said. Let Obama say it directly!
58. Obama and Livni want a Nobel Prize at Israel's Expence!
The Izzman ,   USA   (01.16.13)
They are working hard, to take credit to be the leaders who made peace. Most leaders want the credit or give their two cents for this world famous conflict. Obama was a Chicago Comunity Organizer, and a US Senator for only four years. He was propelled into the presidency by 47% of the American population that relies on the Government for Aid. We have more people on food stamps than ever before. How does he think he knows what's best for Israel? He has no historical background to make any Judgments or advice to Israel. Obama pressure is all political, and Self Interest. He is not a strong supporter of Israel, as he is pressuring the aspects of this conflict. Israel is supposed to be an ally to USA. How can Obama support the Arabs, and push Israel to give up its land which secures the State of Israel to Arabs that will not recognize the State of Israel and want to destroy it?? Barak "Hussain" Obama, is Muslum Decent . The Izzman.
59. This is Obama's indirect expression of his sense of racism
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (01.16.13)
against the liberal democratic and sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel; anti-Jewish racism at that. How else can one view his demand of Jews and only of Jews and because they are Jewish to limit their living space on earth? How else can one view his call upon the sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people to tell Jews, because they are Jewish, to refrain to dwell in parts of their ancestral homeland, be it in certain villages, towns and even city neighborhoods? And, how else can one view Obama's total disregard of international law and bilateral agreements that are in place, all of which do permit Jews to settle anywhere between the Jordan River and the Med. Sea? Sadly, some of us, Jews, act as servants of such anti-Jewish form of racism.
