1. Obama's Warning
Sam ,   Jerusalem   (03.02.14)
LIke we stubborn, stiff necked people always say , "We survived Pharoh, we survived Haman, we survived Hiter and we'll survive you too." But with the rest of the world rapidly falling apart, Mr. Obama had better watch his own backside.Cheers guys and a Happy Purim to all!
2. America faces a bleak future under Obama's policies
(03.02.14)
3. Here's The Solution, Mr. President....
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (03.02.14)
One democratic state. Everyone is a citizen. Everyone pays taxes and does the army. Everyone can live and build and worship anywhere they want. No discrimination. One state. Our model? The United States of America.
4. Disgusting.Obama+Kerry trying to bully Israel into Pal state
Sam ,   Canada   (03.02.14)
Abbas accepts an Israel with a Palestinian Muslim majority. He rejects a Jewish Israel. Obama and Kerry don't care. They just want Israel to give Palestinians a state because they think this will please the Arabs and other Muslims. So, they engage in petty bullying. Despite his desire to keep close to the US, Netanyahu will have to realize that he answers first to Israel, Jews and his party. They will determine if he keeps his job not Obama and Kerry.
5. When and who
ghilmeini ,   US   (03.02.14)
Dear Pres. Obama, Bibi might be too polite so I will answer your questions for him: When and if the strategic picture allowed peace to happen, when the people on the other side were actually committed to peace and not inciting genocide (that doesn't even include the mess that is Gaza) and lastly, it helps to have American leadership you can can trust and rely upon. You told Putin not to invade, he invaded; you told the Syrians not to cross the red line, they crossed the red line. You then sold out the sanctions on Iran for their false promises. Hey you even told the Egyptians you prefer the Muslim Brotherhood, they ignored you too. It seems everything you do or say regarding Israel's interests are against Israel's interests. You are even scaling back the US military so that if, heaven forbid there is a war, the US won't be ready or able to help. So not now. Hopefully one day when you are playing gold and not serially screwing up the entire world.

7. Trust in Obama
James ,   USA   (03.02.14)
Bibi, the US, Obama in particular has not intention to watch your back. Threats are his way of negotiating things that he does not own. Despite his rhetoric, he has been pro-Islamic/Moslem and done the most miserable foreign affair job since the 1950's. Get what money you can from him but be prepared to face the radical onslaughts on your own, You need to call his bluff (or maybe not) and tell him whatever is needed to make him quake. No different then the border towns who face rocket fire and stones throwers every day. What makes him think things will get better if the PA gets its own state?
8. Neither Bloomberg nor Ynet
Israeli 2   (03.02.14)
Neither Obama nor Bibi will spoil the final outcome.
9. Our progressive philosopher-king hath spoken!
Cameron ,   USA   (03.02.14)
10. Rock and a hard place
SK ,   Tel Aviv   (03.02.14)
Israel is being prodded into accepting an agreement that will more likely bring rockets than peace and will enable a further deterioration of the demographic balance west of the Jordan River. Should it not accept this, it is facing further international isolation. We should never doubt the friendship and assistance of America and the EU, just its judgment.
11. Just another Obama deception!
Johannes ,   Norway   (03.02.14)
One should think Putin is giving that fellow in the WH enough to worry about these days...
12. Abu masens declaration of accepting Israel ..
Beary White ,   Norway   (03.02.14)
..as a jewish state within secured borders must be translated into Arabic, so every arab are able to read what is agreed upon. Then, under the statement agreed upon, if hamas or hezbolla continues terror against Israel, it will be taken as a declaration of war from a foreign state, and Israel can fully occupy the areas and do what it like.
13. Hypocrite Obama doesn't care about Israel,
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.03.14)
but about pressing his Islamist agenda at the expense of the Jews...
14. Obama is weak man- Netanyahu should ignore him
Rachel ,   US   (03.03.14)
15. Should we trust Hashem or Obama?
Andy ,   London   (03.03.14)
Obama tells us that Abbas is a partner for peace yet Abbas' mandate ran out in January 2009 - 5 YEARS AGO! If George W Bush had refused to hold elections after 2008 and remained in power, think how loudly the Democrats would have whinged. Yet on the subject of the dictator Abbas, the Democratic Party's silence is deafening. So should we trust Obama? In my view, he is the least trust-worthy President for at least a generation. I would rather trust Hashem, the only One who has continually loved our people, in spite of all our faults, for thousands of years. Let us put our trust in Him and reject false peace offers from Obama and his goon, Kerry.
16. Obama says, Obama warns, Obama tells......
tiki ,   belgium   (03.03.14)
How has Israel survived all these years without the good 'advise from Obama & his FM? Like it has survived the invaders, the occupiers, the wars, the terrorists, the boycotts, the advisers & the haters, it will survive Obama, his FM & their EU friends. Occupy yourself with something useful Mr. President.
17. Pres. Obama to Bibi
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (03.03.14)
It is most gratifying that America has a strong, firm President who will take on and put down the presumptuous leaders of "Israel" and the pro-Zionist lobbies that subvert rational US foreign policy. Right on, Mr. President!
18. Watch it, Mr. Obama!
manicdrummer ,   Haifa, Israel   (03.03.14)
In the months to come, the odds will be stacked against Israel's enemies. Look to the skies starting on April 15th for all the signs. G-d has not forsaken His people!
19. Message
Paul ,   Boston USA   (03.03.14)
Mr. Obama wants to blame Bibi if Israel does not agree to the peace plan. What if Bibi agrees with the peace plan but Abbas says no. Will Mr. Obama then threaten Abbas with a bleak future and possible sanctions? I doubt it.
20. America's power is waning ..
Michael Redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (03.03.14)
Not one country in the world is concerned about or worried about how America will react in any given situation. Every country sees a 20 month window of opportunity to push through their agendas. Did Putin worry about how Obama would react when he ordered troops into the Ukraine? Does Iran care? Does Egypt care? Nobody fears the wimp in chief and it's sad ..
21. Obama is tough on Israel and weak on Iran...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.03.14)
NOBODY NEEDS HIM...!
22. Mr. Barak Obama, feel free to return Iron Dome
Miron ,   USA   (03.03.14)
demontage from our Abhrams tanks Trophy Return to Israel tomography and cancer treatment equipment Stop water desalination plant in California Stop production of chips, that have designs from "inappropriate nation" or "nations"?... And let those pesky dumb idiots have bleak future, while we sit in perfectly advanced 3rd world country run according to your most perfect ideas. I am a patriot and I support US President!
23. Obama - #13
yosef, phd ,   florida - israel   (03.03.14)
This arrogant, ignorant shallow weakling:is trying to teach Netanyahu, what is GOOD for the Jewish state ! You - The least qualified of all U.S. presidents - it would be best for you to quit embarassing what was once a super-power - you will not get away w/this anymore...
24. Interesting how, when, and with whom he chooses to be strong
Ze'ev ,   USA   (03.03.14)
Lets see, Iran chooses to play him; does he choose to be strong? No. Syria ignores him, and his red lines; does he choose to be strong? No. Putin spanks him (again); does he choose to be strong? Yes, but with his "friends." I can almost see his thought process... How oh, how do I make myself look strong while Putin spanks me in public again?... Oh, got it! I'll bully the Jews! That always works...
25. Israel enjoys beautiful future if "peace talks" fail.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.03.14)
Obama is trying to redeem his disastrous presidency at Israel's expense. Israel will enjoy a beautiful future if the phony dangerous "peace talks with Palestinians". If, heaven forbid, we let these evil talks succeed, Israel faces her demise within a decade. This is obvious to any child capable of reading a map. These monstrous talks are intended to steal Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria from Israel and turn Israel into a helpless 9 mile wide concentration camp. We must NOT allow this. Period.
26. Will you pay for my books?
Jerome ,   AKL   (03.03.14)
Mr Obama! Hundreds of my books pray for the ruturn to Jerusalem. Once you forced Jews to give it up, the books will become irrelevant. Will you compensate me and million of other Jews for new book editions?
27. #17 graczek
solomon ,   bklyn   (03.03.14)
You, of all people, should not be using the word “rational”.
28. The American People Support a Secure Israel
Zechariah   (03.03.14)
Israel will not be secure with seven million Palestinians in all of Judae and Samaria unless there is a massive armed Presence in the Jordan Valley and Judea and Samaria of IDF and USA NATO troops .The argument ought be made how to with the Land Swap Secure a Demilitirized Autonomous Area of Six thousand square kilometres of AntiJewish Peoples..Abbas Fatah and Hamas cannot and will not deliver This.NoOne Can.The Jews need to recover their Demographic Losses in the Shoah First .
29. Perhaps we should change the rules
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (03.03.14)
Russia is a far more loyal ally than the racist American administration. Don't like it - but we have what Russia wants. Technology, power, stable government, warm water ports and no Muslim control. Does Odumba really want to turn us into an enemy? He sure is working on it and we will do what it takes to stay alive
30. Changing allies
Michael ,   Haifa   (03.03.14)
We should dump Obama and throw in our lot with Putin. We share more values with Putin in the formulation of our policies.
