1. Look closely for the agenda...
Colorado ,   USA   (03.20.13)
During the press conference Obama stumbles and messes up like he always does without a teleprompter. It is always so startling that he cannot articulate on his feet. He also got furious at the journalist from CBS who dared ask two questions. When he gets angry is when the Dictator comes out. Watch the eyes. Watch him couch his "socially acceptable" comments inside a remarkable hostility. This is the Indonesian culture in which he was raised. The comment about his mother telling him to listen before he speaks… totally fake. All the reporters laugh and accept. Pathetic. A divided Jerusalem and a two-state "solution" is what Obama believes in. Obama can promise a ten-year commitment, but he can't even keep his commitment to the US Constitution. Truth is, Obama will say anything to get everything. Compare with Netanyahu--an actual statesman.
2. Nice to see Sara had some clothes on for a change
Halleluyah ,   Jerusalem   (03.20.13)
Now she needs to stop eating ice cream...
3. Ouch...
Colorado ,   USA   (03.20.13)
So very difficult to watch Israelis slobbering over Obama. I wonder if they know he's playing them.
4. "sleepless nights"
Rabbi Yakov Lazaros ,   USA   (03.20.13)
Obama has made Netanyahu have "sleepless nights." Many here in the US share his sentiments.
5. Does Netanyahu every PRAY for Israel's safety as hard as he
Just wondering..... ,   Israel   (03.20.13)
sucks up to Obama? Really disgusting to watch.
6. Obama is Best President in History For Israel in History
Chaim Ben Kahan ,   Efrat, Israel   (03.20.13)
No US President has done more for Israel than President Obama has. This is a fact. I was skeptical and concerned when Obama took office, but Obama has proven all of his critics wrong. Obama has increased funds to Israel, increased joint training, been firm against Iran, had supported Israel in the UN and has given Israel the green light to defend itself. One could not ask for a more supportive President towards Israel.
7. Bibi clearly touched by the words about Yoni
Chaim Ben Kahan ,   Efrat, Israel   (03.20.13)
Yoni was a great hero. One of the finest heroes Israel ever knew. The words by Obama were moving and meaningful. Yoni was murdered while rescuing hostages from the PLO. We should note that Abbas is also a member of the PLO terrorist organization which has not changed it's charter since the days of Operation Entebbe.
8. yes but...
Leo max ,   Dorval, Canada   (03.20.13)
Obama is staunchly against settlements. That is unacceptable a so called friend. If he were to couple that stance, with facts regarding Pals not changing their charter, and not securing our border, i could understand better. So far, I am pleased with his visit. Now, i'm curious what he will say to the students. I hope he does not tell them what he thinks they should be doing. Israel is already doing great. In fact he could learn a thing or two from us.
9. Israel is on her own regarding Iran
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (03.20.13)
obama has made it clear that he will not use force against iran until iran actually starts assembling a nuclear bomb. israel cannot wait for the shia terrorists to be a minute away from having nuclear bombs. israel will do what she needs to do to defend herself. under obama, the us will remain a spectator in a drama that in fact concerns the entire world. under obama, the us has outsourced its national security to the un, i.e., to foreign powers.
10. obama visit
spookey ,   birmingham uk   (03.20.13)
there is only one problem with all this talk , the arabs dont want peace, isreal is a egnima to the arabs which they want to destroy ,
11. The White House map
Devorah   (03.20.13)
Someone please ask Obama why his administration's video, highlighting his plans for this trip to Israel, depicts Jerusalem, the Golan and Judea and Samaria as non-Israeli territory.
12. Give Obama a Torah Scroll
Ezra ,   San Diego   (03.20.13)
A Torah Scroll. Someone needs to give Obama a Torah Scroll to take back to the U.S. Honestly, it's a good idea. Even if he never reads it, he can place it on display somewhere in the White House; a memory of his commitment.
13. Obama in Jerusalem to challenge Israeli ‘facts on the ground
AbdalAziz Rantsi ,   Gaza   (03.20.13)
Obama's description of the Palestinian territories being the Jewish historical land, explaining that these statements will never change anything of the reality and the historical facts "Obama statements means that betting on the US Administration to gain our rights are futile, and these rights will be returned by force,with the resistance and steadfastness of our people."
14. #9, Cipora...you are right, Obama has just
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.21.13)
declared, to do NOTHING against Irans nuke program...Israel is on it's own !
15. #11
Makina ,   new York, NY   (03.21.13)
Because those areas are not recognized by anyone but Jews in Israel as Israeli. The entire world knows tha tthese areas are not part of Israel. Only the stupid Jews in Israel don't know this.
16. The Schnoorer Nation OCninues
Makina ,   New York, NY   (03.21.13)
First day, first story, the Jews are once again grabbing American Taxpayer money. Does this never stop? ANOTHER $200 Million, for what? To protect 5 million Jews who got off a boat and decided some "realtor in the sky" gave them the land someone has been living on for more than 2000 years? What manner of CRAZY are these morons? And why do they think the American Taxpayer has to pay for this lunacy? Schnoorers, all...!!!
17. Keep friends close, enemies closer. Expect '67 borders soon.

facts on the ground support israel, not you! how many of your people will die in your ressitance? because so far, you are killing yourselves and your children for your own lies.
19. #6. Obama one of the worst U.S. presidents ever.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.21.13)
I really hope your post about Obama being the best president for Israel is a joke. By virtually any objective criteria, Obama is one of the worst U.S. Presidents every for both American and Israel.
