1. It's freek'n amazing that the Arabs started all
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (03.22.13)
wars engaging in violence, terror, murder and teaching their little angels hate and lies against the Jews and Israel and they halve the hypocrisy and nerve to act like they are the victims! What a bunch of crying whinny babies! The U.S. isn't one sided enough for Israel!
2. Forest for the trees
Li ,   USA   (03.22.13)
Israelis may gloat over stuff like this but > Arabs and other Muslims go toward China > Israel loses relevence (which it never had anyway, aside its lobby, so it loses the illusion of relevence it has been peddling) > survival instinct of Americans looks for ways to sabotage Israel etc. Israel is not survivable
3. The Arab media...
new_york_loner ,   Rochester, NY   (03.22.13)
...is accurately describing the up-sucking , the grovelling, the fawning and the obsequious pandering....this public display of affection is perverse....get a room already!
4. difference between family and friend
avramele   (03.22.13)
Obama said in Cairo that America wants to be friends with the arab world. In Jerusalem he told Israelis that America and Israel are family. As family he had hard advice for Israel. However to the Arabs and the world he was saying that however direct my criticism of Israeli policy we do not walk away from family.
5. Cheeky Al Jazeera ! Using the cross...
Andre ,   Clichy, France   (03.22.13)
Cheeky Al Jazeera ! Using the cross Muslims are burning throughout the world when they can't get hold of Christians to slaughter... The cross they hate as a tool of muslim hate propaganda... Well, the world has awakened to arab BS, so try something else next time... BTW, what symbol is Al Jazeera using for Syria ? The crescent ?
6. What did Obama demand from the Palestinians?

7. Now, there's the difference!!!
Taz Man ,   USA   (03.22.13)
They use the Cross in an offensive manner, but as a true Christian...I won't go and riot and murder people! Instead, I'll pray for their lost souls! Dear, Lord...have mercy on these unsaved, godless heathens....
8. @Li pump the puss out of your brain
HaifaGuy   (03.22.13)
It seems to be short-circuiting.
9. Arabs want US to do a South Africa on Israel
Sam ,   Canada   (03.22.13)
The Arabs in general and the Palestinians in particular want the US to make Israel disappear like white South Africa so they don't like to hear the US say anything good about Israel. What they want to hear is the US and EU bringing boycotts and sanctions on Israel. The Arabs will have to destroy Israel by themselves because the West is not going to do it for them. Better still the Palestinians should compromise and make peace with Israel. It beats a life of war and terror.
10. of course we americans favor them..
Eric ,   nyc   (03.22.13)
You are inhuman animals and Israel is a true democracy.Stay in the 5th century you barbarians.

12. Who cares what the arab media is describing?
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (03.22.13)
They didn't complain when obama bowed down to their mutual King of Arabia. Speaking of "pandering."
13. Haha the racist leaders of the Islamo arab world
No Mirror ,   in Arabia   (03.23.13)
are scurrying like rats before a flood. You can see them gnashing their teeth and hissing. Bunch of fools who have little ability to see outside their own megolomaniac views. BTW the cartoon showing the Jewish guy crucifying the arab was classic Nazi all the way. Impressed by their level of anti semtiism, bigotry, and denail of others' rights. If theyd just accept the Jewish state, Jewish rights, the majority of Israel would agree to most anything.
14. Sad!! instead of embracing peace, again they embrace the...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.23.13)
...idea of blaming the Jews. Instead of moving forward in their approach to a reconciliation with the Jewish people whose sovereign nation-state of Israel is here by historic, ethical and legal right, they demand the blood of the Jews, to be extracted by a US President that made a terrible mistake about who we, Jews, are and our historic connection to our ancestral homeland, but has now corrected his error. And some think we need to lower our guard in the face of these people who still can't bring themselves to condemn rockets being launched on civilians in Israel, let alone accept Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as the SOVEREIGN NATION-STATE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
15. This is my favorite line from Al Quds
Arturo   (03.23.13)
"his ancestors in Chicago" LOL!!!
16. 2.
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.23.13)
Oh dear, you seem to have gotten your info backwards, upside down, inside out & very wrong. Arabs & Muslims go towards Iran, Russia, Syria. Israel goes towards China, India & the free world, darlin. I suggest you read the news with your eyes open & hope your next slily post will not make you sound like a complete dumbo.
17. 1 step forward 3 step backwards
Joe Asfoor ,   Burke,USA   (03.23.13)
President Obama's visit to Israel seems to have been motivated by internal US politics and hence his speeches in Israel reflect an eagerness to please a segment of the population here while placating his critics. In the process the chances of a just and fair peace have receded now if not totally repudiated . We have gone three steps backward in the long quest for peace in the Middle East.
18. Arab press reaction to Obamas visit
B yaphe ,   Canada   (03.23.13)
Very interesting rhetoric from the press of dysfunctional and corrupt Arab countries. Their journalists should spend their time dealing with the injustices and cronyism in their own counties before dealing with the plight of the Palestinians who if the truth be known, they really don't care about.
19. Cannot Appease the Arab Media Enemies of the US and Israel
Chaim Ben Kahan ,   Efrat, Israel   (03.23.13)
It's good to see that the enemies of the US in the Arab media are honest. They do not hide their hatred of the United States and Israel. I thought Obama was very objective in his visit. It's amazing how the Arab media brain washes the Arab public to hate the US.
20. Such Blasphemy....
John Hagee ,   Austin,TX   (03.23.13)
From the descendants of Ishmael .May the Lord smite these heathens for their heresy
21. And Nazis secretly part of the Brotherhood
Zechariah   (03.23.13)
22. When will the Palestinians wake up
Rhonda ,   Chicago, USA   (03.23.13)
I don't remember them being this upset after the President's speech in Cairo. Why should they be upset when they got a dose of the treatment that Israel got during that Cairo trip. I don't see how these people will ever end up with a state...they just don't analyze certain realities in a coherent thoughtful way and try to come to terms with it. Instead of saying, "we'll, he came, he said some things to them and he said some things to us and we ought to sit ourselves down and think about all this and how we can move forward positively." They never earn my respect. I never see them do anything that reflects national MATURITY. No matter ones political persuasion, not that many Americans like to see the President of the United States or the American flag disrespected on foreign soil.
23. Why is Ynet quoting Arab terrorists.
Dan Kelso   (03.24.13)
Atwan Bari Atwan is a regular on BBC TV. Atwan has said, Speaking about Iran’s nuclear capability in an interview on Lebanese television in June 2007, Atwan stated, “If the Iranian missiles strike Israel, by Allah, I will go to Trafalgar Square and dance with delight.” In March 2008, Atwan said that the Mercaz HaRav shooting, in which a Palestinian gunmen massacred eight students (aged 15 to 26), “was justified.” He added that the Mercaz HaRav yeshiva is responsible for “hatching Israeli extremists and fundamentalists” and that the celebrations in Gaza following the attack symbolized “the courage of the Palestinian nation. Abdel Bari Atwan said last summer in the attack in Sinai that killed 16 Egyptian soldiers, that the Israeli Mossad was involved in the attack. We all know Arabs killed the Egyptians in the Sinai attack. Hezbollah was behind the 2 Argentina bombings of the Israeli embassy in 92 and 94 that murdered over 100 Jewish civilians. They were also behind the bombing and murder of Israeli tourists in Bulgaria last year. So why is Ynet quoting these liars and terrorists?
24. #2 - nice story..but ignores American public
William ,   Israel   (03.25.13)
which through recent polling shows majority support for Israel. Judging from your name you are biased towards the growing strength of China globally. Yes, China is actively making deals with the devil to feed its energy lust. But time will come when Arabs don't have much to offer in forms of energy and China will go looking elsewhere. Notice the belligerence of China in the region against its neighbors by trying to claim energy resources through military might and threats. All while China ignores the largest elephant in the room - the massive increases in toxins and airborne pollutants throughout its country, essentially poisoning their own population. The amount of growth China sees in its economy and infrastructure will be matched by the growth of sick and dead among the population through lung issues, skins issues, vision issues, heart issues - including the regular ailments of a middle-class like diabetes. But China built itself twice on the backs of its own population it trampled into the ground - in the 1950s and again in the 1960s Cultural Revolution. Why not again in 2013?
