1. could never trust obama and his circle, they are enemies of
ralph   (01.23.15)
israel. look at silly stories obama coming up with. reality is maybe this will awaken us to the left's lies and the fact that obama is incompetent, foolish and anti-western, anti-america and anti-israel. he definitely drank his mothers milk of bitterness to western tradition and values.
2. The administration of b.H.o. has made some
(01.23.15)
Back door deals, which could be considered not protocol also. Concerning last partial deal with tehran, sanctions have been eased, tehran Still hasn't made access to areas in question, no access to where nuclear triger research, explosive research, mating warheads to ICBM's, the number of working centrifuges, speed of enrichment. Involvement in internal affairs of other nations, exporting military hardware to syrian's, hizbullah, hamas, mahdi army, houthi's and n. korean collaboration. How can the world trust tehran, rouhani, or Their master who make All the Decsions. This is what Bibi will tell The US Congress and world media, because The Actions and words of b.H.o. Are Different, security in Israel must be reality on the ground based on Israel say, within Israeli government.
3. Obama
VERNON Mullet ,   United States   (01.24.15)
This IDEA,of Obama not meeting because of Israel's elections,is ONE more lie from the DICATOR OBAMA
4. Israel is best US ally in the Middle East
CJK   (01.24.15)
indeed, israel is one of the best allies the us has in the world. israel is a buffer between the radical islamists and the west. those in the west who do not understand or appreciate israel's importance geo-politically need to look at a map and imagine what europe would be like if radical jihadists were firing missiles from israeli territory into europe.
5. He just meet with David Cameron???
ex-frummie ,   Johannesburg S.A.   (01.24.15)
There is to be an election in the UK shortly????
6. Obamas decision not to meet with Netanyahu.
Douglas Hensley ,   Charlotte N.C.   (01.24.15)
IF the Obama administration decision not to meet with Netanyahu is motivated by geniune concerns about not influencing foreign elections, then one must ask the obvious question; does not meeting with Netanyahu also create " appearances that could influence his election . You can bet it does. I would also bet President Obama is aware what effect he intends to project to the Israeli electorate.
7. well
rm ,   amsterdam NL   (01.24.15)
I guess 'the lobby' can rest assured...they and their (internet) warriors have provoked some sort of 'excusing' reaction from the White House towards Israel when truth be told..Nethanyahu should stay out of what is essentially an internal US powerplay
8.  I hope President Obama will reach an agreement with Iran SO
Benny ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.24.15)
PLEASE SHARE IT WITH YOUR ABROAD FRIENDS!!! Obama should reach an agreement with Iran SOON, otherwise this psychotic PM Bibi will cause a war, just to be elected by the Likud blind herd on March 17. Just a few days before, he fired missiles to an Iranian convoy across the Golan border (North Israel) just to be popular by his voters . The next day, when it appeared that a high rank Iranian officer was killed and Iran began talking about "painful revenge", Bibi apologized...He is hysteric because the polls are not so good for him now.
9. Nonsense. No such Protocol.
Shimon ,   Cincinnati USA   (01.24.15)
Just to remind the promulgators of this tripe, http://www.apnewsarchive.com/1996/Netanyahu-Peres-Exploiting-Good-Relations-With-Clinton/id-8e23f48eb43dc9ac8467b41cc2e8ee88 What IS true is that Mr. Netanyahu is playing a game with Israel paying any loss but with him collecting any winnings at the election. Just to remind the PM: Peres lost in 1996.
10. With all the increasing upheaval in regio, Obama will meet
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.24.15)
Netanyahu
11. Perfect no show obama
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (01.24.15)
allows Bibi to have the stage all to himself without enemy obama's interference. America LOVES both Israel and Bibi. obama, not so much in fact, not at all.
12. # 5 Touche'
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (01.24.15)
Well said.
13. Alliance
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn, Holland   (01.24.15)
That alliance is not only/just of national security interest. It also is of inter-governmental, international, transnational and of supranational security interest, for security and peace, for example, for the benefit of life (on our planet of Earth, in our universe/multiverse).
