and are destroyed.
2. he should stop iran from sending missiles to gaza
C   (07.11.14)
he cannot do that. hamas and brother terrorists have ten thousand missiles, of which many hundreds are advanced long range missile supplied by iran and syria.
3. Colossal Waste of ime
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (07.11.14)
Netanyahu and Hamas want this confrontation. Offering to mediate is a colossal waste of time. Obama should just observe as Israel re-occupies and takes on occupier responsibilities.
4. Mr. Obama,
Israelit ,   Israel   (07.11.14)
In all due respect, foreign policy isn't your strength. Please don't.

(07.11.14)
Useless State of America.
6. USA would have ended it by now if they were being bombmed
DOV ,   USA   (07.11.14)
7. Obama willing to negotiate
jon ,   uk   (07.11.14)
Has Obama had any success in negotiating peace with violent Arab countries and with Hamas? what kind of sweet will he promise them if there will be a cease-fire for while it will give Hamas time to rearm and build more tunnels and maybe get together with Hezbollah and have two fronts they are learning from each war and getting better with their rockets iron dome can only do so much and very costly
8. Israel to Blame.
Mike O'Diomasaigh ,   USA   (07.11.14)
This is what happens when one party refuses to negotiate. What did you think would happen when Israel refused to negotiate with the unity government of the PA?
9. Obama as Mediator
Earl Levith ,   Zichron Yaacov   (07.11.14)
I would rather have an honest broker. He has shown his bias and untrustworthiness too often already.
10. Ignore Obama as we do here in the USA
Ben ,   USA   (07.11.14)
Please tell Obama you are too busy fighting a war, and have no time for his nonsense. Only a full unconditional surrender by Hamas is in order.
11. Hamas Must Surrender All its Weapons!
Son of Cyrus ,   UK   (07.11.14)
12. ha, ridiculous
C   (07.11.14)
no one trusts obama, least of all israel.
13. CHUTZPAH!!!
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (07.11.14)
Mr. Obama - how about you negotiate OUR border dispute between Los Estados Unidos y Mexico!
14. Oh!bama to negotiate :?!
yosef, phd ,   florida - israel   (07.11.14)
A closet muslim, a commie lover and the worst pres. in the last 70 years is hardly a fitting, fair mediator. Stay in D.C and deal with all the damage you have caused to your own country: demoting a once superpower to a second class republic by a series of bad choices and decisions irrevocably damaging to its credibility and respect.
15.  US willing to mediate Israel-Hamas truce
A ,   Belgium   (07.11.14)
Even in the darkest of times, there is always room for a bit of humor, especially when coming from Oblabla himself.
16. Obama should first find his red line that he
Michael   (07.11.14)
lost regarding Syria. obama can't even mediate with the U.S. Congress.
17. Why on earth....
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.11.14)
would Israel want a clown to get involved? Tell Obama, don't call us we will call you or better yet when he calls put him on hold until he gets the message.
18. Obama and Taqiyya
Brod ,   USA   (07.11.14)
It is a tactic to stop Israel from defending itself from the rocket bombardments by HAMAS and from wining the War. It is time for Israel to do what is necessary to defend itself effectively and enable it to neutralize its enemies decisively instead of being sabotaged half way. The fact is Obama is not an honest broker. And he can't mediate effectively. His tactic is to stall Israel. Meanwhile, HAMAS continues to rain rocket bombs at Israel. The only way for Israel to stop these bombardments is unleashing its ground forces to neutralize them and end the War quickly. Israel should say NO to Taqiyya.
19. Hussein Obama is trying to save Caliphate of Gaza and Sinai
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.11.14)
20. Obama Mediate What?
PS ,   Tulsa, USA   (07.11.14)
I am an American Jew and I would NOT trust Obama to mediate two children on a playground.
21. #8 You forgot about Hamas
Benji ,   US   (07.11.14)
It's the unity government with the terror group Hamas. I don't recall any time when Hamas was ready to negotiate. Murdering Israeli teens and firing thousands of kassams is not an olive branch. You suffer from anti-Israel ignorance. Go peddle it elsewhere.
22. This is a joke, right? Does any country take on Obama?
Harry Wright ,   UK   (07.11.14)
The first thing he will do is demand that Israel go back to the '67 borders. Then he'll want jihadists to "guard" the border between Gaza and Israel, like the jihadists employed by Hillary to guard the Americans in Benghazi. Obama's offer oscillates between ridiculous and pathetic.
23. proven incompetents need not apply.
ralph   (07.12.14)
24. To: No. 8
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Isrel   (07.11.14)
The unity government of the PA, you dolt, includes Hamas. Obama's offer to negotiate is absurd on its face. Did we offer to negotiate between the U.S. and Al Qaeda? No, we do not. We think the United States should mind its own business. And stay out of our way. We've got a bit of clean-up to do in Gaza; there's quite a lot of trash that needs to be taken out.
25. 8
Birdi ,   Israel   (07.12.14)
Oh gawd, it's not about the failed peace talks, it's about the kidnapping & killing of our 3 sons. Hamas started this, not Israel. Quit twisting the truth. You are out numbered here, go away!
26. # 8 Your an idiot!
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (07.13.14)
Both Hamas and Fatah are now charged with "crimes against Humanity' at the Hague... Not Israel, the pals!!! Muslims murder for sport, a cure for boredom and just plain fun! bomb the shit outta Gaza!!!!
27. Maybe obama can negotiate the release of 1 US marine held
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (07.13.14)
cative in Mexico? Mexico is express lane-ing thousands of illegal alines while 1 brave US marine sits in a filthy mexican jail. G-d how we hate obama the muslim....
