(03.21.13)
Peace is a viable reality with a paliwhatever state! How about NO! Just Last Night On Out Front With Erin Burnett, she interviewed Naftali Bennett And Asked Him Point Blank, will there be a paliwhatever state? He said No not 2-3 miles from my home and My Children Will Not Subject to arab Terror! So there you have it! EXPELL All arabs from Jewish Land Once And For All! Shalom/Baruch Ha Shem
5. Audience not representative
Salim ,   Canada   (03.21.13)
Where did they get this group of ultra-left wing people to applaud Israel's destruction?? The impression given is that this represents the feelings of Israelis. This is wrong. This group represents the most extreme left wing fringe of Israeli society. I wish there could be more honesty in politics.
6. Where on earth is the speech??????
(03.21.13)
Not interested in that guy there talking so much.
7. What wud O do if Jews were being massacred like Syrian Arabs
Alan ,   SA   (03.21.13)
are masacring each other at this time!-NOTHING thats for sure. He and his colleagues would just wring their hands like the Rooseveld Administration did in World War 2.And at the end another 6 million would be dead!

11. Don't meddle in Israel's affairs
Larry ,   Fenton   (03.21.13)
Oh, by all means we (the US) should NOT meddle in Israeli affairs. I've been saying that all along! Then, of course, you can get along without our money too --- and we want what you have borrowed BACK, ALL of it, not just the interest every month. THEN we won't meddle!
12. When will Obama be able to talk the same way to Palestinians
Ben ,   NJ USA   (03.21.13)
There will be peace when Obama will be able to talk the same way in front of Palestinians and arabs. There will be peace when Abass will talk to his people saying like Bibi that he agrees to 2 states for 2 people. As long as the arabs are indoctrinated to hate Jews it will never happen.
13. 2 - Ora, without America you are alone.
(03.21.13)
Many delusional Jews like you refuse to see reality for what it is but it is not god who stopped Auschwitz, not god who sent you weapons in on Yom Kippur and not god who is financing iron dom.
14. Proud of Obama
Mark J. Koch ,   Cherry Hill, USA   (03.21.13)
As an American Jew who voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and again in 2012 I am thrilled with his wonderful speech. I hope that the thousands of haters who post vile comments about Obama on Israeli online sites every single day and who have falsely accused him of being anti Israel put away their emotions and let the facts speak for themselves. This man is, has been, and always will be a great friend of Israel. 70% of American Jews voted for Obama and we are happy we did. For all those spoiled Israelis who falsely believe that a man who increased aid to your country at a time when millions of Americans lost their jobs and their homes, and a man who has protected Israel at the U.N. every time, and a man who has made sure that military and intelligence agency cooperation between Israel and America is at its highest point ever, is somehow your enemy, then you do not deserve one more penny from the American taxpayer and not one more American veto in the United Nations. Be grateful to Obama. In poll after poll the people of this planet view Israel in the same way they do North Korea, Pakistan, and Syria. Your leaders are driving you into an abyss where you will soon lose your democracy and become an apartheid State. Realize who your true friends are before it is too late.
15. Mr. President - I am very impressed
Sam Sweiry ,   Eastbourne - UK   (03.21.13)
I started listening to President Obama Speech with the thaught - What can he offer what we havent heard before - I believe President Obama spoke from the heart - He didnt tell me what I know - He told me His Vision But - this is a Big But - Would Israel have true pertners in peace when the Palestinians are devided? - What peace will be guarranteed when the other side want to wipe all the Jews from the face of the earth - Mr. President we live in real world and you should know that - Israel security is in good hand - I believe in that - Lets our politicians do what they have to do because they know better than what we know - Thank you Mr. president - I enjoyed Your Speech
16. You have come steal our Heart
Martin ,   SA   (03.21.13)
You have come steal our Heart. You cant accommodate our settlements then you dont understand us. You want a cheap way to be in with your Brothers MB. This you call a risk we should take. What was your risk? that they wont recognise us as a Jewish State. Your brothers mostly but not all sit back smoke pipes contemplate our destruction each day as their duty. you want to placate them with Judea and Samaria. What a cheek. Your brothers dont have the qualities to give and not always get back. But here you want them to take our heart 500,000 people and smother them. If this is what you came to listen to then you didnt come to listen but to deceive. You just chose words that sound disarming and pleasant so we must swallow your bitter pill. You need to work harder on yourself Pres. Obama and really listen till more truth sinks into your heart. Then see what your brothers hearts are doing. You told them maybe lets see if i can pull this off as duty to my MB club, and show them what good politician can do with our little Jewish Heart. Yesha we are with you. Am Yisroel Chai.
17. Even Mr. Obama has come to realize that when the Palestine..
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.21.13)
Liberation Organization (PLO), finally, accepts Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as the SOVEREIGN NATION-STATE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE; and, when the PLO finally agrees to accept a peace treaty as the END OF THE CONFLICT and the END OF ALL FUTURE DEMANDS, then and only then will there be a basis for an accommodation between Israel and the Arabs of Eretz Israel (Land of Israel) of peaceful coexistence, not before!!
18. Diplomatic Immunity for Incitement
PaulD ,   Jerusalem   (03.21.13)
It's called words of sweetness, with the ulterior motive to seduce to your point of view. Here, the President's intent became painfully clear; incite the youths, naturally Leftist, to rebel against the government. It makes me nauseous.
19. Obama is ignorant and wrong !!!!!!!
Don Rosenberg ,   Palatine USA   (03.21.13)
Its time for the racist arab muslims to understand us Jews, not the reverse. Israelis have tried to be just, but in islam, there is no justice, only racist superiority. We Jews have a true history on our land, the fake arabs are the interlopers into Israel. Its time for obama and the US to declare that the Jews are right and the racist arabs are wrong. These fake,invented people can go the their homeland jordan, yes jordan, Israel should tell the stupid obama, We will build on our land forever. And I for one ,am for impeaching this lying fool who is president. I will say it again, when the US gives land to the taliban and al qaida on our border, Israel can consider giving land to the racist, baby killing arab muslims.
20. Obama is an Arabist
Rabbi Yakov Lazaros ,   USA   (03.21.13)
First of all those students were handpicked by the Obama team. They were all either leftists or Arabs as the picture of the Arab girls shows Thats why Obama was able to give this propaganda speech about a Palestinian state without interruption He went on and on about the importance of a Palestinian state. There was a little about how the US will protect Israel from Iran but it was minimal. The purpose of the speech was to brainwash the students. Not a word was mentioned of the dangers that this would create. Israel gave the Arabs Gaza and got 10,000 rockets fired at them for a thank you. Israel withdrew from Lebanon and is now facing Hezbolla Every time they gave land to the Arabs they suffered for it. Maybe G-d is telling Israel that "land for peace" does not work.
21. CHRIS FROM GMN..
HERTZEL ,   TVERIA   (03.21.13)
YOU ARE THE SCUMBAG, AND LEAVE ISRAEL ALONE, WE CAN DO WITHOUT "FRIENDS" LIKE YOU. AND: "THANK-YOU" OBAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
22. This creep choses his impressionable audience.
Isabella1709 ,   Tampa USA   (03.21.13)
Obama is just like the rest of the liberal leftists, he choses whom he thinks he can impress with his message of naive appeasement. If history hasn't proven the intention of Muslims, good old sympathizer Obummer will put on the guilt trip that the poor Pally kids don't have a state of their own? Damn him to hell!
23. Another 24hrs and the end of this travelling poop show
Al   (03.21.13)
Then the real holiday begins...Passover
24. Obama's impertinence knows no limits
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (03.21.13)
we cannot put ourselves in their "shoes." they have wanted to annihilate the jews since before the declaration of independence. all we want is to be left alone. they were offered a state on numerous occasions, which they refused. they are not interested in compromise. they practice so-called honour killings, we do not. they jail journalists, we do not. they throw the opposition down from rooftops, we do not. they torture each other, we do not. they have totalitarian societies, we have a democracy. as for israeli democracy, it is doing extremely well, thank you. when will obama tell the truth about benghazi?
25. President Obama: ONLY HaShem can bring peace to the
Rivkah   (03.21.13)
Middle East, so it would help if the Israelis changed their flag to have a menora instead of a six point star of Remphan, star of Molech, symbol of witchcraft and fornication to HaShem. THEN, Israel needs to stop gay parades and make fornication and sodomy illegal to please HaShem to whom such things are worthy of death. THEN, HaShem might be more agreeable to bringing peace to the Middle East.
26. Obama didn't ask the Palestinians why they teach HATRED!
David ,   Israel   (03.21.13)
Why they teach their children to kill Jews and why they teach their children to worship death! Nice words and a great speech but he missed the most important point that Muslims kill while Israelis and Jews build and heal. The only proof he needs is to turn on his TV!
27. There is one major issue to deal with.
Roberto Gutierrez ,   Madrid, Spain   (03.21.13)
Palestinians do not recognize Israel as a Jewish state. Jewish people have every right to have their own state. As long as Palestinians keep refusing to recognize that basic right, I find it impossible to carry out a two-state solution. Anyway, not everything is negative: last year Palestinians realized the 1947 partition was not as bad as they have been thinking for the last 65 years. Better late than never.
28. Colossal nonsense
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (03.21.13)
What he said is a mass of empty words and phrases. Why did he not declared that all jews must abandon their homes where live since decades and cut a world metropolis into two parts. Like Berlin. Will be also in Jerusalem Checkpoint Charlie, with X-ray instruments to cross the border ? I suggest him to divide Washington between americans and native algoquin indians.
29. Obama re Israel
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (03.21.13)
et tu, Obama?
30. AS IF THE GAZA 'COMPROMISE' DID NOT SHOW US THE WAY
stude ham   (03.21.13)
to our security could only come through the reclamation of our lands stolen from us by the foreign invaders.
