1. Hear O'Israel
PaulD ,   Jerusalem   (04.14.13)
not peace but to "support establishment of a viable, independent Palestinian state". Every once in a while the real motivations of the International community, the un-Jews, and this case the US, show what their true agenda is. That is that, Jews are a nuisance, and just in way of establishing an Islamic majority in the Holy Land. The British attempted it and got booted out. Now it is the US's turn to weaken, prevent Jewish emigration into Judea and Sammeria, and prevent Israel from self-defense. A terrorist state is their goal, motive, and ultimate dream to get the Jews to accept their annihilation.
2. Agree with #1
Beary White ,   Norway   (04.14.13)
But you should see the statement in light of mr Obama beeing a muslim, and carefully balances his words to make the shift in history, suddenly being there, coming forward in the open, similar to Nixon...yes I did, yes I am...
3. agree with nr. 1 and 2!
Harmen Breedeveld ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (04.14.13)
I agree with nr. 1 and 2. Obama is clearly out to hit all the Jews in the Holy land. That is why he continues to support billions in military aid to Israel. That is why he has agreed to help out with extra funds for Iron Dome. That is why he has continued to defend Israel in the UN Security Council and UN General Assembly, for instance when the Palestinian Request for Observer Statehood came up. Clearly a man who supports giving billions in military aid to Israel each year, who supports Israel in the UN, who speaks time and time again of Israel's right to exist is hell-bent to destroy Israel ... Perhaps, just perhaps, Obama really wants and wishes for the best for Israel? Perhaps, just perhaps, he and you simply disagree on what the best is for Israel? Sigh ...
4. #1,2,3, Brainwashed right wing Jews like you bring disaster
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.14.13)
5. obama can huff and puff
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!! ,   United States   (04.14.13)
and blow a lot of hot air but, ultimately,, there will NOT be a pals state. In 3 1/2 years obama will be gone and Israel's building will have created more large Israeli cities. obama can join carter and bust some nails for the camera and be avoided by American's who abhor them both.
6. #4 ben assie.
DavidR ,   USA   (04.14.13)
You finally said something I can agree with. First we heard from 1, 2, and 3 and then you appeared on the board. Yep, they certainly did bring disaster. There is no bigger disaster than you.
7. #5 i DO BELEIVE THAT PALS' DO NOT HAVE
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (04.15.13)
what it takes to govern, but the larger Israel will not be the ultimate answer. WB can be renamed Palestine if they want it. They know that they cannot beat us. However we must try to end this war with getting Jordan and Egypt involved. We know that we can throw them out if we want to, but why? They are slowly realizing that they can't win over us. We did get bad experience with giving Gaza back. Yes, we got rockets and they got the land they wanted. Now, they have realized that land itself is not enough. We can make peace with them. We have to try harder. I'm not right or left. I'm for what is right to do.
8. To: No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.16.13)
It is not Obama's place to decide what is and what is not in Israel's best interests. Those are decisions that are made in Jerusalem. By the way -- don't be fooled by Obama's apparent generosity to the State of Israel. It is the United States House of Representatives that proposes the budget, and earmarks how the funds are to be spent. Obama is also quite mindful of the fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans are strong supporters of the State of Israel. He may think he can run roughshod over Israel because he is in his second -- and last -- term in office, but I assure you that he would have a great deal of difficulty so doing.
9. #4 and antisemites like you create them1 [END]
On the Balcony ,   Akko/NY/Kyiv   (04.25.13)
10. Sarah... please.....stuff a sock in it
On the Balcony ,   Akko/NY/Kyiv   (04.25.13)
The budget process starts with the President who is required to submit his budget request to Congress which then... look up the process yourself.. The only pertinent question is did the President include this in his budget request and the answer is yes --which indicates his administration's clear support for Israel --despite official U.S. misgivings about the illegal settlements. You should know that Americans are insular and largely ignorant about foreign affairs. Also bear in mind that people are fickle, statistics can lie and polls are often misleading. The "overwhelming majority" of Americans who actually have opinions do support Israel but enough Americans have no opinion to change that. If the settlement issue goes before the ICC you will likely see a fast and drastic change in support for Israel. So be careful of taking the statistical status quo for granted. I won't mention anything about your haughty snotty naughty attitude.... I'll just wait for your karma to catch up with you..
