1. Israel riled
Nadya ,   California, USA   (10.04.13)
Do you really think the US is overly concerned that Israel is riled? Get used to it.
2. Seriously bad news for Israel
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (10.04.13)
The threat of mobilising AIPAC no longer works. American presidents appear to be working for the American people, which probably explains the shutdown.
3. Obama is too ambivalent to rely upon.
Stephen in New York   (10.04.13)
One day this, one day that.
4. 3 Stephen NY
CJK   (10.05.13)
obama will not stop iran's nuclear weapons program, as i have been saying for years. be well.
5. Obama and his religious ambiguity
Toledano Jean-pierre ,   Israel   (10.05.13)
Simply, his Islamic roots make him aware not to harm his parents' (better said: his father's...) religious thinkings. About Israel Sunni or Shia have the same condemnation, despise about Israel and Jewry. Look to his contemptuous look on his face and in his eyes when he meets Netanyahu: hate (maybe), despise (for sure),... But, we continue to hope and... if not we have our Dimonah.... things, devices!
6. @ Nadya
Etienne Prinsloo ,   Nova Scotia Canada   (10.05.13)
Hussain Obama is being led around on a leash like a puppy by the triplets, Assad, Rouhani and Vlad the butcher of Grozny. The American empire is no more, with all it's influence in the Middle East wasted by theDemocrats. Iraq is slipping back into sectarian war, Egypt is in shambles, Syria is akin to the killing fields of Cambodia, Libya is hopeless and the Taliban are ready to pounce once the West leaves Afghanistan. Is this how America treats it's friends and deposes dictators? Selling Israel out is clearly a formality now in the name of Obama's new detente.
7. Israeli WMD
Harold ,   USA   (10.05.13)
How come no one I mean no one is talking about Israel's Nuclear and Chemical weapons Ir already has.
8. EU 1st, probably UK or Paris
reality check ,   usa   (10.05.13)
irans warning shot to USA. Will use proxy and deny. Iran won't WMD Israel for certain massive retaliation, maybe as last resort. EU easy target, US under Obama no risk.
9. Obama works for his Muslim Brotherhood not American people
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.05.13)
10. #2 Seriously bad news for the US, you mean
zvi   (10.05.13)
Obama is going to let Iran gain nuclear weapons. Iran sponsors Hezbollah, which regularly makes veiled threats against the US. Iran also threatens most of its Arab neighbors, and has an official policy that the US must be expelled from the region. This has nothing to do with Israel; Iran seeks regional hegemony and understands that it cannot have that while the US remains in force in the middle east. Then again, your comment seems to blame Israel for the US government shutdown, showing that you are a bigoted conspiracy theorist without an ounce of common sense.
11. # 2 Biggergun, Smallerbrain
Zeev ,   TA   (10.05.13)
That was a great joke you told. There hasn't been an American president working for the American people since George Washington.
12. CJK 5-you're right
Stephen in New York   (10.05.13)
13. If Israel is so concerned......
Chris.B ,   Australia   (10.05.13)
why doesn't it take the lead and destroy its illicit and mature nuclear weapons program. And why not dismantle all the Icbm's as well.
14. US-Iran normalization, kills Israel-Sunni "divide and rule"
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.05.13)
15. No Monika or Jeff Gannon for Obama
lydia ,   Brisbane   (10.05.13)
Israel for the first time has no Jeff Gannon or Monika Lewinsky with which to force this President to acquiesce to their wishes and turn a blind eye to the land theft and mass murder of the Palestinians.
16. #1 and #2 if you both didn't just think with your
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (10.05.13)
Hate and jealousy you would understand why it is in the U.S. best interest to support and back Israel. Do you think Iran, libya, syria, Lebanon, and other islamofacist so called states want the U.S. to be strong and prosper? Maybe you also don 't love the U.S.
17. Don't depend on the USA
Sam ,   Texas   (10.05.13)
You can't, Obama will change on a whim. Israel can depend on itself and Hashem. Israel's survival depends on this basic truth
18. TO NUMBER 1 the real question
LARRY ,   US ARMY RETIRED   (10.05.13)
is are the powers that be in Iran understanding that they should be very concerned . if Israel decides its life as a nation is in danger . do they understand the white house will be notified when the IDF has left Iranian air space
19. "Israel" riled!?
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (10.05.13)
It is long past time that "Israel", the tail, be stopped from wagging the US dog. Indeed, it is long past time when the US should kick all Zionist representation out of our country and terminate all relations with thet illegal political entity.
20. Obama is the problem, not the solution !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.05.13)
21. What do you expect?
ASTRONAUT ,   SC,USA   (10.05.13)
It took him FIVE years to decide to pay a visit to Israel; and when he landed, everyone fawned and fainted and he still managed to disrespect Israel and all she stands for, playing to hand-picked audiences.

23. The real story concerning Iran
rina   (10.05.13)
Obama as a Muslim has Islamic interests at heart. Their ultimate aim is Sharia law with no mercy for those who don't obey this law. The world needs balance of justice and mercy for all, found only in the Hebrew Scriptures.
24. What a WEAK speech!!
Raoul ,   Herzliya Israel   (10.05.13)
Words fail me.
25. Iran will never attack Israel
Mar Sabi   (10.05.13)
There will never be an Holocaust like WWII. Netanyahu will have to fix the economy even if he was expecting to confuse israelis with Irans nuclear program. Fix the economy Netanyahu, that is what you and your friend Obama have to do.
26. At least Obama is honest, consistent in his politics: from
tom ,   tel aviv   (10.05.13)
Day One he has made it crystal clear where his allegiance is and it's not to Jerusalem (in any way). Mekka would be more precise....He just doesn't like Jews, or for that matter America, that much! What's so hard for Israel to understand & accept and act upon?!
27. A lot of Israelis
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (10.05.13)
Grasping at straws. The fact is Netanyahu gave a speech to an almost empty UNGA and nobody was listening. In fact not even a week hasn't passed and Nathanyahu has been told he doesn't have the right of veto for any deal that is sealed next week in Geneva (Hezbollah withdrawal from Syria after requests from Kerry is a signal from Iran). A lot of people who respond here do so as if they are in a fantasy world where all international decisions are made with an israelocentric stand point. The fact is the west are skint, we need cheap energy to grow our economies, not withstanding that any politician authorising the use of force against Iran will lose the next election and his job. Then there is Netanyah he told UNGA that Israel wanted to see a verifiable dismantling of Iran's nuclear weapons programme, whilst at Ben Gurion that ALL of Irans nuclear programme needs dismantling. Even he is hedging his bets
