1. wake up to bloody reality
geroge   (03.24.13)
US will not be attacking iran and sanctions will not stop their nuclear push since bombs ensure their survival vis a vis the west. Wake up to reality. Accelerate the acquisition of 8 more iron dome batteries. Shut up about iran. make the plan and choose the date if need be. and shut up about it and stop cryijng to the world.Of course turkey will side with iran and condemn israel. Livni is so naive that her only contribution to israeli politics is that she is a reasonably dressed woman.
2. Lip service!
Yaniv ,   Israel   (03.24.13)
3. Iran & Syria
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (03.25.13)
if iran had been attacked years ago, there would not be a syrian problem. i have been posting for years that iran is the head of the snake which must be cut off. unfortunately, obama was more interested in spreading the arab spring which is in fact an Islamic winter. obama's obsession with the palestinians, who are a few million people living under reasonable conditions, shows his lack of strategic vision. there can be no stability in the middle east as long as the leadership of the terror state of iran can arm syria, Hezbollah, hamas, Islamic jihad. israel will not commit collective suicide for the sake of obama. and by the way, he needs talented and experienced advisors, not the likes of valerie jaret, who has zero experience in international affairs.
4. Obama does not understand World Politic !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (03.25.13)
I Quote - the US president stuttered and made excuses, but he explained quite firmly that the US is not the world's police and will not do the job alone Comment - This softie does not uunderstand to do what is right in World Politic. If You have the Power and Opportunity - You must do What is Right with it, and not sit idle and let the Evil Forces Prevail untill, they come for you. This Fault the US has done in two World Wars. Further - . What remains unclear is whether the American president accepted Israel's demand that Washington show it is determined to resort to the military option should the negotiations and sanctions fail to stop Iran's nuclear program. This, Israel believes, will grant credibility to the negotiations between the world powers and Iran. Obama apparently refused to commit, but it appears he promised Netanyahu that the sanctions would be tightened. Comment - If US would act Rightly She would even Promise Israel in this case, that She would take on Iran alone, should Her Policy of Sanctions and Diplomacy Fail. The US has Responsibility For the World before HASHEM, because She has the Ability for it. But Darkness Rules the US as usuall. Arn.Sweden.
5. I can understand Obama about syria but I dont understand why
Neo ,   EU   (03.25.13)
the americans dont support a looong overdue reformation about the UN security council? If they would start to give back their veto power with the clear demand for reforms to bolster the UN, this organisation might finaly get the power to solve human crisis like syria alone by sending strong amounts of UN soldiers!!
6. Cleaning the table
Keren IL-BR   (03.25.13)
Israel is in a defining moment of its history. Or we belong to the West civilization, attached to moral values and dignity or we side with the bad guys, that violate international regulations and have no standards to act in defense of the country. Today, we have to submit ourselves to the caprices of Turkey. Whatever they ask, we do, because we have a debt with the international community, that is, the occupation. You can say, damn the international community, but we know we are not an isolated island. We are in the same path as South Africa. There will be the day, and this is not far, where we will be stopped travelling to countries or participating in events, completelly living in a national ghetto. We did not created Israel for that.. we created Israel exactly for leaving the ghetto...
7. Raise your glass
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (03.25.13)
obama's Noble Peace Prize has 1- reduced America's strength and treasure and thousands of young US troops lives, in addition the VA refuses services and the US Gov. denies their claims for injuries and basic needs. 2- obama caused more strength to bothThe Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda. 3- obama sat by idly as Sudan ( estimated ) massacred over a million people while now, 70,000 ( probably more ) Syrians have died and the refugees pour into neighboring nations, changing their ability to feed and house them under reasonable conditions. 4-obama IS still attempting to divide and conquer Israel by illegally promoting the pals case rather than our ALLY, Israel So, in conclusion,history will record that obama's waterloo, in addition to all the other monumental failures, will be ended on the most fool hearty adventure of them all, the final attempt of betrayal by obama directed solely at our model for the US laws he swore to defend, Israel If there are any christians reading this, " And Jesus wept. " Raise your glass if you voted for him.. Thank G-d as a former liberal, I did NOT!
