1. Israel's Obligation
Joseph Ixchu ,   Fort Worth TX, USA   (10.03.14)
I disagree with your premise that Israel is occupying any land. The land is historically Israel's and it has actually given up land to a people who originally came from Egypt. Arafat was born in Egypt, which does did not make him a Palestenian. Besides, the name Palestine was made up by the British and should be discarted by Israeli's If you are going to make your opinion know, at least make it with factual information.
2. we will see if the American people have given up on Obama
Jay   (10.03.14)
In the coming elections to Congress we will see if the American people have given up on Mr. Obama, and after the coming elections we will have to wait a little more then a year to say gooooood bye President Obama (second term), and then Mr. Obame can join Mr. Carter and write together a book "how I hate those Jews that infiltrated to the land of the Palestinians/Muslims"
3. Netanyahu's mistake
(10.03.14)
From day 1, Obama hated Israel. This makes sense considering he followed the teachings of Jeremiah Wright. No one forgets how Obama spent all his time attacking Israel, while supporting Iran's destruction of the Green Revolution. Netanyahu made a mistake by trying to placate Obama with concessions instead of taking action to ensure Israel's survival. However, Obama's current attacks on Israel don't matter. The only thing that matters is the Ebola outbreak in the US, brought to you by Obama.
4. So have I
Dan   (10.03.14)
Bibi has done his very best to destroy the country, for the sake of expanding it. An idiot.
5. Bibi is a great leader!
Calibi ,   Sydney Aust   (10.03.14)
Obama knows Netanyahu is not interested in reaching a peace agreement that will end the occupation........... What occupation? Obama roots is Kenya living in the American Indian land. Bibi is a Jew and is born living in the Jewish Holy land.His ancestors and his roots is in Israel including Jordan!
6. DAYENU!
Whatever ,   Whatever   (10.03.14)
Enough already! President Obama needs to leave him alone! I would choose Bibi over Obama any day. Bibi is a real leader with a realistic viewpoint. Obama is a Muslim sympathizer who doesn't quite understand or care about what's really going on. Any room for a Goy in the IDF? Because I'm not sure if I want to stay in America anymore!
7. How do you like it BO?
Brad ,   USA   (10.03.14)
You see, Bibi is actually on the side of the country he is the official leader of. That's what a true leader is. Obama can't wrap his so called mind around that. Everything obama has done has hurt the US and helped it's enemies. He expects Bibi to be suicidal as well, but like I said, Bibi is a true leader. Obama is no leader. He's a figurehead puppet for America's enemies and Israel's enemies.
8. Keep Thumbing Obama In His Eye
Jersey Jew ,   New Jersey, USA   (10.03.14)
Think it is likely that Obama's behaviourS after our early November elections & his remaining 2 years, will NOT make now smirking Bibi and his fans happy. An American President is, by far, the most powerful person in the World, independent of our clearly bought US Congress, and Israel desperately needs him. Simply imagine much less Intelligence sharing, or a US abstention @UNSC in favour of the Palestinians or Iran Agreement or ... Not smart ...
9. bring us more good news like this!
GC   (10.03.14)
Best news in years. Obama has also given up on fighting Islamic takeover, America and it's people.
10. History has the last word
Ronnie ,   Australia   (10.03.14)
Obumma will go done as the worst leader in history, collapsing the U.S. financial system. Resulting in the "Great Starvation" that will spread from American cities across the world. He will put and end to political correctness once and all. On the other hand the Prime Minister of Israel will be remembered as a young man who fought like a lion to protect his nation and people. As and old man to be remembered for being a political leader who fought like a cunning fox.
11.  THINK AGAIN
tTEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (10.03.14)
If Obama thought that he could push Netanyahu around ,he needs to thing again .Netanyahu can run rings around that amateur.
12. obama is a naive fool. every one knows that. his ratings are
ralph   (10.03.14)
Lower than even George Bush's. Anything he says is suspect. And by your endorsement all you write qualifies as foolishness.
13. what? you mean Obama's peace of the dead??
ralph   (10.03.14)
14. Obama has given up on Bibi
David ,   Montreal, Canada   (10.03.14)
O'Bumbler has given up on Bibi ? Hell that is a an honour indeed and probably a blessing too. The USA has given up on O'Bumbler. He joins Jimmy Carter as one of the most despised presidents in recent memory. Whoever succeeds him will quickly repudiate his anti- Israeli stance.
15. Netanyahu is not interested in Peace
Harold ,   USA   (10.03.14)
Ex President Clinton said the same few days ago. Netanyahu never wants to give back a square inch of the occupied lands. So this conflict has to referred to the United Nations to vote for the final decision.
16. obama given up on Israel
ranjo ,   siloam springs, usa   (10.04.14)
Obama is not the sharpest pencil in the box!!
17. Obama opposes Israel's very existence
Mordechai   (10.03.14)
Obama opposes the very establishment of Israel in 1948 as a Jewish state. However politically he can't attack Israel as he wants because the American people fully support Israel. Congress, Democrats and Republicans will overrule any overt anti Israel move by him. With the upcoming elections, the complete failure of his foreign and domestic policies he is two weak to overtly support his terrorist allies
18. Wonderful ! Because Obama is the
DT ,   TA Israel   (10.03.14)
ultimate loser and hater of our Country
19. We are done with Obama.
Susan ,   Kfa Saba   (10.03.14)
Nextr month are congressional elections. Im hoping many Republicans will win so as to tie Obamas hands. Every American citizen in Israel has to vote by absentee ballot. If you havent done so already, register today online, before Yom Kippur begins.
20. Would I be presumptious to say that I think Obama
barbara ,   Haifa   (10.03.14)
is doing all this BS for a reason. In my opinion, he is not an idiot - after all, he was a lawyer, wasn't he? I can't seem to buy into this naivete stuff - I think he is on the enemy's side, trying to bring world or USA, down to weakness to be taken over by fanatic Islam.
21. David & Goliath...but who is who ?
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.03.14)
Any ideas...?
22. Ok, indifferent US should abstain in Security Council
(10.03.14)
when the Palestinian resolution about Israel's withdrawal by 2016 is put to the vote. That would be a very constructive result of indifference.
23. the world has given up on obama.
sue   (10.03.14)
24. good article. you got it correct. Bibi has other priorities
Rafi ,   US   (10.04.14)
... and is forever spinning the truth. The sooner Israel can dump this scandal-ridden PR operative - and elect someone of substance like Tzippi Livni -the better.
25. Obama NEVER Cared About Israel
Dan ,   USA   (10.03.14)
He is a Marxist and Muslim sympathizer who doesn't even care about the USA. Obama, Valarie Jarrett, who is the real president, and the State Department all believe Israel is the problem in the middle east. If it were not Bibi, it still would be the same.
26. A Wake Up Call
A.C.Guard ,   USA   (10.03.14)
Israeli's and even most American Jews never thought the US would become so anti Israel. But now that it has happened Israel's government and manufacturing, Industral complex must do all they can to remove the country from being so dependent on America's weaponry. The cost of not doing so makes Israel a slave to Obama and others that may come after him.
27. Joe Gelman
Dan M. ,   USA   (10.03.14)
While you and I may have given up on Obama I believe the coalition of blacks, hispanics, women, dyed in the wool Democrats and left leaning Jews would elect him again if he were allowed to run. It is the same coalition that will support Hiilary should she run. And since the Clinton Foundation gets most of it's money fro Arab countries, she will not be a supporter of Israel either.
28. the entire world has given up on obama
C   (10.03.14)
he does not know this, but even his supporters are abandoning him. humiliating the sole jewish state was not such a good idea.
29. Rafi the Monday morning quarteback
Dr. Jack   (10.05.14)
To Rafi, If you are so informed about Israel, why don't you go there, start working for Livni and get her elected. Which will never happen!! From the shores of the United States, it is easy to be a Monday morning quarterback!! Are you working for Obama??
30. #8 you miss the point
(10.05.14)
Obama hates Israel, and there is nothing Netanyahu can do to change it. For six years Netanyahu played along with Obama's "stick your head in a noose and I will help you" game and the predictable happened: Israel made concessions, and Obama did not help. Netanyahu should learn from Erdogan. After Biden told the truth about Erdogan supporting ISIS to genocide Kurds, Erdogan blasted him with foul language. Biden immediately crawled to Erdogan with his head down and wagging his tail.
