Obama should know we have and always will have a best friend...aveinu sh'ba shomayim
2. Israel and America Share Common Interests
Chaim Ben Kahan ,   Efrat, Israel   (03.20.13)
Israel and the United States have common foes and are both on the forefront of fighting Islamic terror and aggression. Both the United States share similar values of democracy, freedom and peace. One contrasts this to the Islamic extremist who serve to spread fascism, oppression and war. The bond between the United States and Israel is strong. President Obama is a good friend to Israel.
3. I'm sure
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (03.20.13)
Germans wanted to live free of bombing too.
4. Israel is the BEST & most GRACIOUS host ever!!!
Harry Wright ,   UK   (03.20.13)
The third video clip was truly riotous - I could not stop laughing. "My wife Michelle" was Obama's main topic of discussion so I guess he had to let everybody know how terribly he misses her :-) :-) I loved Netanyahu's gestures - that's a classic. Lapid's head bobbing showed just the correct amount of shock and awe for a prince meeting the king. Oh Lordy, this is so entertaining!!!!!! I hope the other clips will be as entertaining when I watch them later.
5. Correction needed!
Avi ,   NYC, USA   (03.20.13)
"Children want to live free of terror" should be corrected: "Israeli children want to live free of terror while still subduing another people, stealing land, attacking at random." This is nothing but a fair and reasonable demand by the Israeli children.
6. #5. Oh, just shut up - you're spoiling a good show!!!

7. Children want to live free from terror
kate ,   mpls mn   (03.20.13)
well you mean Israeli children? but what about the 30 Palestinian school children some of whom are between the ages of 8-10 that IDF rounded up in Hebron today? oh they're Arabs right, you'll be be glad to IDF more money to take care of them, got it
8. To Harry #4
Avi ,   NYC, USA   (03.20.13)
Harry, you are probably neither a physician nor a biologist. If you had any experience in the Life Sciences you would have known that Israel's role in its relationship with the US is not that of a "Host" but rather that of a "Parasite". An "Obligatory Parasite" to be more specific.
9. #7 Kate kids with stones are detained to prevent them
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (03.20.13)
From throwing them and committing terror.

i have checked all the news, local israeli and foreign to see if you statement is true and none of it ever happened. as we speak, israel idf rounded up only 33 arabs that built tents in protest of obama, defaced his posters in bethlehem and hebron and vowed to make it very secure for obama to travel there. idf said that no demonstrations will be allowed in the west bank that are violent. so far no children of 8-10 were present at all. none. please stop lying to make a point. OR produce the news clip that shows or talks about 8-10 years old rounded up TODAY. BET YOU WON'T FIND ANY. IT IS YOUR IMAGINATION THAT IS FAILING YOU.

did anyone ever tell you the fact that israel doesn't receive economic aid from the usa or anywhere? diD anyone ever tell you that the 3 billion israel receives from the usa anually is ONLY 2% OF ITS ENTIRE GDP AND THAT ISRAEL IS THE 17TH BEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD, MUCH BETTER THAN THE USA AND EUROPEAN PRESENT ECONOMIES. and by the way, all three billions are NOT FREE! LIKE THEY ARE IN ALL ARAB COUNTRIES. not at all. israel must under this contract, spend 75% of this "aid" in purchasing military equipment from the usa government and pentagon. the rest of the 25% goes towards both israeli and american cooperation in the invention of missiles, security warfare like the iron dome and various other joint military projects between these two countries. once you know all the above, your statement sounds not only idiotic, but completely erroneous. it is the same cabal heard by the masses in the arab lands and the palestinian activists. now, on the other hand, egypt receives 2.7 billions anuallt. AND IT IS NOT OBLIGATED TO PAY A SINGLE CENT BACK. ALL MILITARY HARDWARE TO EGYPT ARE FREE! SO THAT THEY CAN KEEP THE PEACE WITH ISRAEL. THE SAME GOES FOR JORDAN, PA, EGYPT, SAUDI ARABIA, LEBANON, ETC... NONE PAY A CENT BACK. NONE. and you call israel a "parasite"??? you need to brush up on your defunct knowledge. oh, and any israeli or jew named "avi" will know all the above facts as written. this makes one very suspicious that you are indeed not an israel, but part of the unwashed barbaric masses in the middle east. hameed aboughaze, iranian
12. #8. Funny Avi, that you should mention the Life Sciences...
Harry Wright ,   UK   (03.21.13)
because that is where I am qualified - with First Class Honours too. So I can tell you that the relationship between Israel and the US is a symbiotic one - you know the one in which the two different species have a cooperative or mutually dependent relationship, you know, like both benefiting from the relationship? Too bad you did not learn your lessons well. Go back and pick up the text book because it is a pity you can only only remember host / parasite relationships. It does not apply here so you are guessing your multiple choice answer. Minus 5 for guessing wrong.
13. The song: Tomorrow!
Juan ,   Tel Aviv   (03.21.13)
Why was the Arabic part of the song removed?! The whole aim of the song is to bring together all the sides of the struggle and indicate hope for a better tomorrow, making the three languages, especially the Arabic KEY in this song! This makes YNet look very bad and one sided.
