1. Scary
Brad ,   USA   (09.24.14)
The scary thing is that the next "president" might be dumb enough to make Obama look intelligent. I say "might" because I'm not sure that's possible.
2. Obama reads a teleprompter........
Joshua   (09.24.14)
I read the Bible. I know who's gonna win this battle.
3. No idheologic difference between Hamas and IS
Avram Goldsmith ,   Toronto   (09.24.14)
Plus not rocketss rain on American citizens, Mr. Obama totally ignore the dynamics of radicalization of Islam, until this late point. Israelis are not naives and know Arab mentality and a lot of caution is required from their side and as Mr. Obama ' ignorance on limit of naivety is endengering Israel existence.
4. There will NEVER be another terrorist muslim state in Israel
Father Abe   (09.24.14)
Get over it Obama Hussein
5. Israelis not abandoning peace
Aharon   (09.24.14)
However, many realize that the current formula, the Two State Solution, is dead and that something else needs to be tried. One proposal put forward is that Israel extend its authority over Judea and Samaria and allow the Arabs there, if they choose, to have Israeli citizenship. Those who don't choose citizenship will be considered legal residents and not have the right to vote as is the current case for legal resident non-citizens in Israel. This plan would work for the Israelis in that they would get the secure borders they need and it would help the Arabs in allowing them to live under a liberal democracy with a robust economy.

8. Agree with Steven Rosenfeld...
Beary White ,   Norway   (09.25.14)
mr Sotero has yet to come out of the basic mindset of kindergarden when it comes to foreign politics and ability to see the fundamentals in a conflict-situation with terrorists.... Why didn't he stay in Kenya..
9. you have no substance!
Calibi ,   Sydney Aust   (09.25.14)
Your peace and you work that installed Muslim Brotherhood.....great but what happen after???????? How much peace did you gave to the minorities & Christians in Egypt? If it is not Sisi more blood will be on your account. What guarantee do you have for Israel in this false peace? None. May God bless Israel & Jerusalem.
10. abandonment ?

15. Bombama makes again the ridiculous claim that Islam is peace
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.25.14)
16. israel
Harry ,   Faroe Islands   (09.25.14)
Mr. Obama understand nothing about the situation in Israel. And it seems as he never will. Israel is not and have never been the problem in the middle east. Israel is a blessing to the world, (Genisis 12/3). The biggest problem in this case is the antisemitism, with-out reason UN has shown with theirs attitude against Israel. Shame on UN for always use Israel as scapegoat.
17. Concur in part
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.25.14)
"[t]he status quo in the West Bank and Gaza is not sustainable." Agreed. That is why Israel will need to annex Judea and Samaria and either repatriate the illegal Arab squatters to Jordan, country of their citizenship, or, quite likely, to Gaza. Unity government and all, you know? Sooner or later, of course, missile fire from Gaza will resume, but that's okay -- perfect opportunity to raze it to the ground, deport whomever may be left alive to any of their 162 supporting countries (good luck with that one!), and annex Gaza. International consensus? Think you can handle nuclear Israel militarily? I don't think anyone is all that interested in putting it to the test.
18. Dissent in part
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.25.14)
"[the lives of so many Palestinian children are taken from us in Gaza." Taken from us? Taken from US? How about the three innocent Jewish boys who were kidnapped and murdered? I don't remember Obama mentioning "taken from us" then. Or ever. Truth be told, those children -- the number is far fewer than Hamas claims; they just don't want to admit how many of their terrorists were killed. It's called the dead baby ploy, and it always works -- even, as now, when the only one responsible for the deaths of those children is Hamas itself. Obama is so insistent that ISIS must be destroyed. Doesn't he realize that Israel is equally insistent that Hamas must be destroyed, too? Why isn't he lining up a global coalition for that? Because, while Hamas is an equal opportunity murderer -- war criminals, actually -- it doesn't matter as much because Hamas chiefly targets Jews? If the global coalition has the right to bomb ISIS -- killing however many civilians in the process; they're smart enough to surround themselves with innocent civilians -- then surely Israel can bomb Gaza into rubble. Hamas is just as violent and ruthless as ISIS. You cannot have two separate rules with respect to how to treat terrorists. If ISIS is to be destroyed, so will Hamas. And Fatah. And Islamic Jihad. And Hezbollah. And the rest of the ridiculously named ersatz "palestinian" terrorists. It's called precedent.
19. Let Me Be Clear
Edgar Unthank ,   Dearborn, USA   (09.25.14)
the status quo in the white house is unsustainable
20. Obama offers us "leadership"
CJK   (09.25.14)
obama must really believe that we are khazars and that we need him to tell us to desire peace. well, a people that has been persecuted and subject to genocide for over two thousand years does not need anyone's advice to desire peace. the jews of israel are a new breed, a people who refuse to be subject to the auto-da-fe of grand inquisitors, the expulsions of christian monarchs, the genocides committed by secular regimes culminating in the shoa. these jews will not bare their necks to the sword or listen to forked tongues encouraging them to jump into the abyss.
21. Good Morning President Obama
Norman Gellman ,   Rehovot   (09.26.14)
President Obama is beginning to see the deleterious effect of extreme Islam. However Israelis are being convinced that a peace plan can never be found due to the rhetoric of the Palestinians & Abbas' attempts to circumvent negotiations by going to the UN and threatening going to the Hague.
22. Is he talking through a hearing aid?
An American   (09.27.14)
He is so not credible!! He should take care of bussiness first in his own country that's going down the slope!!!
23. #13 yeah and how screwed up is the UN time has come to
dissolve the terror ,   den. End UN NOW!   (10.02.14)
24. BO STILL DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE ME
stude ham   (10.12.14)
AND THE ISIS MONSTROSITY IS ONLY THE LATEST EXAMPLE OF HIS TOTAL IGNORANCE OF THE ME.
