Israeli commentators acknowledge that Obama's sanctions brought Iran to the table. But then Israeli commentators don't like the US being at the table with the US position.. Netanyahu and Congress didn't bring Iran to the Table. Obama and Clinton and Kerry did, with the help of Congress. So why does Netanyahu and Congress now want the talks to fail? The Netanyahu and Republican position makes no sense if the point is successful talks, not just punishment for the sake of punishment, with failure and war at the end.

Israelis need to wake up ASAP to how much harm he is doing to the country in order to promote his own political self-interest. He is a demagogue of the worst sort. AIPAC take note: wask your hands of this drek!

with friends like this who needs enemies? Obama hates israel. The speech provides him with a distorted excuse to do damage. He is a misguided liberal with a view of the world where fantasy in his mind equals reality. Its like the Descartes quote - i think therefore i am. In Obama's case its "i think therefore it must be"

The Republicans are more likely to allow a genocide of the Jews if it is in their interest, they have always been anti-semites, Israel is a pawn in the political game and by Netenyahu sucking up to the Republicans it is sure likely to have some repercussions

netanyahu will make it clear why a deal with the genocidal totalitarian terror regime of iran is a huge mistake. netanyahu will explain that the proposed deal will leave iran's nuclear weapons program virtually intact. it is for reason that obama is so upset. he does not want this explanation to take place.

Most Israelis do not agree with settlement policy is partially correct. We do not believe that so much money should be sent to what is known as settlements but is simply disputed territory. Obama should have learned in six years that appeasement does not work. It is not hostility, I agree, but simply naivete, which should have dissipated by now.

Obama is great of Israel, huh? Not even in his wildest dreams.

I question if Obama is our friend, but I think it's disgusting that Netanyahu intends to go to Congress when he knows darn well what an embarrassment it will be for Obama.

Mr. Yemini, if Iran succeeds in getting the bomb, people such as you need to be held morally accountable.

He stood up in the middle of a meeting with Netanyahu because he had a lunch with his family.....I can mention more Stupidities from Obama against Netanyahu.....

I believe that Netanyahu has the messianic call to proclaim himself to be the lord and protector of world wide Jewry. He's not. Just the opposite is true. He has managed to irritate the world against Israel. When Fox News(not exactly known for pretending to be a worthy news channel) sees his actions to be an irritation then there is a problem. If the electorate re-elects him than you live with him, and keep him out of American politics.

Obama is only interested in his own EGO and self-importance. He knows Muslins/Islam are a big problem in the United States as in Europe. Obama wants Israel to disolve into the ocean. He surrounds himself with Jews. And that is how the snake operates. Many dictates surround themselves with Jews. Even Hitler's and all Evil men had Jews. It was to fool people. But Israel is not a Fool. Natanhayhu is much too wise and stronger than Obama. Even Shimon Perez has lost

Libya, Egypt, Syria, Turkey, Iraq all with attacking terror groups supported given Cash, Arms, and training by Obama's whitehouse. He had MB people in the whitehouse advising him. Nice try but ohbumer supports Islam and only keeps his job because he pretends to support Israel. We the 80% are looking towards the day he is IMPEACHED and arrested for treason.

Not only is b.H.o. Not A Friend he isn't even a Frenemy of Israel. His record with the Jewish People Will Go Down History as The WORST sitting US president with regards to his Actions and Policies Tword Israel and It's Goveenment!!! Lead from behind, community organizer, moslem appeaser, Lame Duck obummer lives in a make believe world, which he wants ran by islam!!! Boy is He WRONG!!! b.H.o. Was Never A Friend Of Israel or the Jewish people!!!

Going before the U.S Congress without meeting with the President is not a smart thing--I for one think this is a big mistake and will cause serious harm to Israel--The American public will look with disfavor on Israel for mediling in our business--I have allways been a big fan of Bibi, but he's wrong on this count----Stay home and take care of the poor and hungry and institute a food stamp program so All can eat.

Obama wants Israel to disappear -- he says then there will be peace -- He is ready to give Iran the Bomb and only the congress may be able to save Israel with the help of Netanyahu. Jews seem to have a predisposition for suicide if they think Obama is their friend. Did he march in Paris? NO! He is now in Saudi Arabia paying homage -- This should tell you everything!!

With friends like him, who needs enemies?

President Obama is lying to the American people about Iran.We need to know what Israel knows, and we hope Bibi will do that. I don't know why anyone would leave the fate of the worlds Jews in Obama's Hands.

You are closer, in Or Yehuda, to the ''settlements'' than I am & you should realize that if we give up these settlements, you & all who live in the center of Israel, will be sitting ducks to the missiles & rockets being lobbed by our happy trigger ''brothers'' who will never stick to any kind of agreement. Dream on.

America is a friend of Israel, Obama never was & never will be.

Assuming that Obama is pursuing appeasement out of simple naivety: after all these years with no improvement in the US-Moslem relations, that naivety appears to have turned into severe idiocy. Is Obama an idiot? Or are his actions dictated by some more sinister agenda? I am ususally not inclined to lend any credibility to various far- fetched conspiracy theories but in his case I can't help wonder.

..mr. Sotero, a friend of Israel...? Most of all the leftist Norwegian politicians and Norwegian state media TV/Radio say they are friends of Israel, but would rather see her dead... It is virtually the same tactics from mr Sotero. But the invisible pressure from the US population forced his politics against Israel into the conservative track of support, both at the UN and during Protective Edge. Also the successful PR done by Israel (BIBI !), BEFORE the war started, made a heavy pressure and bounded him to follow Israel in the traditionally way of support. And BIBI is NOT causing any damage to Israel!! His speeches, held in his period, are VERY good, and we have all seen the standing ovations and cheers he has received in the Congress. Also his speeches in the UN have been very excellent in enlightening the world. In my view, all the negative articles (like this one), streaming out from the left side in Israel, has only one mission, try to damage Binyamin N. before the election.... I think the people of Israel will be thankful when B.N is leaving the US Congress after the speech...mark my words..

normally, i like yminini's opinions....not this time. barak hussein obama, the arab imposter who infiltrated into the wh, is no friend of israel, the jews or the west. bibbi is a thorn at his side, but a crucial one to the survival of israel in years to come. is bibbi perfect? no, but he i an excellent leader who can level with the europeans ,and will not capitulate to obama's pressure to give away israel to the arabs. go bibbi go and good luck!

...Netanyahu is the best friend Israel ever had, neither the opposition can probe the contrary....

but theres something fascinating about Netanyahu, he never said the sanctions have hurt Iran. You must read the article again, it was Yemini comment, "The sanctions have hurt Iran. They have proved to work. They led the Islamic regime to the negotiating table"...

Jason PhD, do you sincerely believe that anything, anything at all that Mr Netanyahu has to say in the US congress will prevent the Iranians from getting the bomb? The only way to stop them from developing nukes is to drop some on them.
