1. Subterfuge, from an ally you can't trust
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (11.25.13)
The deal is as a crowbar underneath Israel's security. Seems that the USA administration is bent on undermining Israeli security
2. Obama to Netanyahu: do not strike Iran
CJK   (11.25.13)
obama was not concerned about netanyahu's opinions while obama's people were holding secret talks with iran for months. these talks have terminated with an agreement that allows iran to retain essentially its nuclear weapons program with minor adjustments. now obama fears an Israeli strike on iran. such fears are not unfounded.
3. Time to give Israel military compensation &political support
(11.25.13)
4. Trick me once shame on you, trick me twice shame on me:
Geniune Moshe   (11.25.13)
Conclusion: Israel must do the job and defends her interests.
5. Geneva Nuclear Deal With Iran
J R Gilbert ,   United States   (11.25.13)
Make no mistake about it, Iran will turn on Israel in a heartbeat, as will most Arab nations. Any deal without the complete nuclear disarmament of Iran shouldn't be judged as worthy of consideration whatsoever.
6. Negotiations
Joe Mevorah ,   Lincoln, USA   (11.25.13)
My president is ignorant to the realities of the Middle East. In doing so he is opening up Pandora's box. The man is stupid. I'm extremely sorry I voted for this idiot.
7. America's snake oil salesman seeks to reassure PM
Steve Klein   (11.25.13)
This charlatan swindled foolish Americans into re-electing him based on his assurance, "If you like your (healthcare) plan, you can keep it; period!" That, among many others falsehoods, too many to count, turned out to be untrue. Will Barack Obama likewise charm Israel's prime minister?
8. We should be talking to Obama
James ,   USA   (11.25.13)
We really should tell the US, Israels position as soon as Iran apologizes to Israel for all the hate mongering, evil, destructive rhetoric and for supporting Hezbollah etc who really like to shoot rockets into farms and schools. Iran, you reading this? Israel is ready to play nice when you are..
9. Israeli strike, CJK?
Cameron ,   USA   (11.25.13)
Much different beast this time, son. The solitary, overnight strikes of the past simply cannot be swung this time around. No realistic military option available for Israel in this Persian matter. Only the US has the ability to ultimately leverage Israel off the nuke hook it hangs on.
10. blah blah blah
Josh   (11.25.13)
Does anyone believe anything that Obama says anymore ? He's the kind of person who will stab you in the back then come and tell you in your face that he cares about you.
11. Holy Land under Threat
Zechariah   (11.25.13)
From the sea to the River could be a nuclear wasteland by 2100.Survival will need a lot of effort.
12. Build, build
Frank ,   Canada   (11.25.13)
Bibi cancelled the construction project to avoid alienating European countries regarding the Iran deal, now everybody is showing its true colors and it's time to build, especially in the E1 zone
13. Need a military opinion
James ,   USA   (11.25.13)
Not an expert on this by any means. What will a dirty bomb, enriched only to 20% actually do?
14. Thank Allah for useful idiots like Guzansky!
Ayatoilet Khamenei   (11.25.13)
Thanks "goose"-ansky you are really making my day ha ha ha!!!
15. @2 Iran needs nukes and S-300.
Miron ,   USA   (11.25.13)
Rest is up to you, buddy. Either you buy there oil, and pay 3 dollars at teh pump per gallon. Or you don't, and pay 5. We got kids to feed... And you should think seriously about building those houses in Ierushalaim. We ain't gonna do it for you, if you catch teh transcript. And without those you aren't going to last.
16. 2 Netanyahu strike on Iran is pure bluff
lydia ,   Brisbane   (11.25.13)
How is Israel going to go it alone when in 2006 Israel had their proverbial asses whopped by Hezbollah poorly armed resistance fighters. How, when Israel/ CIA trained Al Qaeda Takfiris Criminals and Cannibals in Syria are after 2Y still losing against the Syrian regime
17. 1. 65Y of wars instigated by Israel
lydia ,   Brisbane   (11.25.13)
Toss the Crazy warmongers and lets start a new era of co-operation with Iran and the Mullahs.
18. Sorry, armmegeden is on hold
Avramele   (11.25.13)
The radical messianic right, so willing to sacrifice thousands of Israeli lives in a final confrontation, will now have to defer their dillusional dreams of retribution, expulsion and annexation. Sane Israel can breathe a bit easier for the moment.
19. Obama is an idiot.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (11.25.13)
Don't believe a word he says. How about printing our talkbacks for a change. You don't have to be in bed with Obama like the United States News Media every night of the week.
20. Iran Deal
Gene Graczyk ,   Santa Rosa CA USA   (11.25.13)
Please remember that the deal is only a preliminary step and one that expires completely at the end of six months. If there is no further progress, then the limited sanction relief also expires. I am sure Israel wishes to continue as the only nuclear power in the region but that is untenable going forward. That Bibi didn't get absolutely everything he demanded and more is unfortunate but he needs to separate his efforts to bolster his precarious domestic political position from pragmatic,, reality-based foreign policy.
21. Committed to its destruction
Israeli 2   (11.25.13)
22. Strike Iran
ltrail ,   United States   (11.25.13)
It's like a mother who tells her child, "Now, don't take a cupcake until the party". Yes?
23. Results may vary
Ezra ,   San Diego   (11.25.13)
US will remain committed to Israel = "This is not an exact science, your results may vary"
24. Obama's Iran deal is putting perfume on a pig!
ChicagoShneer ,   USA   (11.25.13)
He's been sabotaging and blocking Israel from the get go. Israel being put on sacrificial altar for Obama's ratings, dismal performance. November is also month of Harvest Festival, where German and Romanian soldiers massacred 43,000 Jews in a single day, largest atrocity of WW2 in one day. How fitting Obama sets groundwork for next atrocity against Jews.
25. 18 you do not represent "sane Israel"
CJK   (11.25.13)
you represent those who would sell out israel in a heartbeat. sane israel knows that a nuclear iran would pose an existential threat to the jewish state. the ink has hardly dried on this capitulation deal but already many mature and knowledgeable commentators are denouncing it, including people from the left.
26. Obama quotes
(11.25.13)
US will remain committed to Israel. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. That videomaker is to blame.
27. Now is the time to differentiate between true idiots
tom ,   tel aviv   (11.25.13)
(those willing to looks for crumbs of "positive aspects" of The Deal) and sane people (those that don't even bother with "analysis"). Nobody in his right mind will voluntarily give up on having BOTH oil fields & atomic weapons (and being Islamo-fascist to boot), grow some brains morons!
28. 16
jonathan ,   aboriginaland   (11.25.13)
Please,enough of your lies.You are on a Jewish site and your stupid remarks about that2006 have been answered many times.Narzullahead is still in his bunker playing with his goats.
29. Israel has the capability to strike Iran on her own
CJK   (11.25.13)
those who think otherwise are ignorant.
30. Mr. Obama, sadly, has lost all credibility not only here, in
NL Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.25.13)
Israel, but also in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Egypt and other countries that face Islamist Iran. Perhaps there is a good reason for this loss...??
