15 Talkbacks for this article
1. Then Israel should've done the job on its own
Guy ,   PT   (02.08.15)
Why does Netanyahu believe that the responsibility for Israel's security lies with the US, and not Israel? Instead of funneling tax revenue to batei midrash and letting Slomiansky send security funds to the settlements rather than for the country's defense as a whole, he could have built GBU-28s or other earth penetrators indigenously. Now, Iran's enrichment sites are too hardened for air strikes. Did Israel ever pay back the US for resupplying it during the pointless 2014 war in Gaza, or is it just a charity case? Maybe Netanyahu can shill for his buddy Sheldon Adelson a little more and buy Hamas a casino, so there's another target to bomb for the next round, rather than actually demilitarizing the Strip which we all know he lacks the guts for.
2. Obama does NOT Run P5+1
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (02.08.15)
Netanyahu's speech is unlikely to change any political view in China or Russia. The US does not run China or Russia or the UK, France or Germany. Neither does John Boehner, no matter who donates to his campaign fund.
3. There will be an extension
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (02.08.15)
No way the betrayer-in-chief obama will allow his legacy project to fail. No matter the sacrifice (Israel included), Kerry was given his instructions to Get A Deal. In actual fact, the definition of "sacrifice" is the attainment of a lesser value at the expense of a greater value. Since obama wants the elimination of Israel, it would be no sacrifice to him to see Israel disappear. Israelis, if you don't abandon your illusions about obama having your back...if you dump Netanyahu in the illusory hope obama will like you again, you are sadly mistaken! Just as mistaken as when you think ny trading land to the Arabs you will get 'peace.' If you lose Bibi, you will neither have obama's friendship nor your last protection against an Iranian nuke. You will have achieved an evil agenda and obama will only gloat at your death wish.
4. A last minute attempt to save his reputation.
Michael ,   California, USA   (02.08.15)
An attempt by an individual who has little support in his country. The Democrats will ignore him while Republicans will offer empty smiles. He will say nothing new and will go home totally embarrassed. Israel deserves better for its Prime Minister.
5. Iran & mullah Obama are Israels ENEMIES !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (02.08.15)
Bibi must tell the truth before the American Congress ! NEVER AGAIN !
6. Bibi is Right
Jason, Ph.D. ,   Charlotte, USA   (02.08.15)
This is not a partisan issue. It has to do with the security of the entire world. Bill Clinton is much more capable than Obama, and yet Clinton failed to stop N. Korea from getting nukes. I have absolutely no faith in Obama's ability/intention to do what is necessary to stop Iran. Iran with nukes will prove much more dangerous than N. Korea. American, lobby your representatives now to increase sanctions on Iran and to not allow a bad deal. Who will agree to do this this week. I want to hear from you in this Talkback forum. Needed: Mordechais and Esthers.
7. speak to congress do not give in to gettho jews.
ralph   (02.08.15)
8. Thanks to IDF
Ken ,   NYC, NY   (02.08.15)
As an American I want to thank to IDf for fighting with the US shoulder to shoulder during the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, 2 Iraq war, ISIS, We couldn’t have done it without you, So in return we will give Israel a US aid package worth 20 to 30 billion. Shalom
9. Obama's "strategic patience"
C   (02.08.15)
obama will wait till the end of march to sign a capitulation deal with the genocidal shia terror regime.
10. Obama intends to sideline US Congress
C   (02.08.15)
although under us constitution international agreements are subject to formal approval by congress, obama intends to sideline congress once he signs the capitulation deal with iran. obama intends to claim that what he signs is not an agreement or a treaty. it is obvious that obama is playing semantics and is simply violating the us constitution as he has done many times as president. it is incumbent upon congress to insist on exercising its constitutional rights and not allow an imperial president to impose unilaterally his will on an entire nation and many of its allies.
11. To FB Adam Eshbee re "Mark my words:"
Devorah   (02.09.15)
I have been thinking the same thing, all of it.
12. Nuclear weapons
Stan ,   Israel   (02.09.15)
Even if Iran does get nuclear weapons, they will never be used against Israel. (Unless Israel attacks Iran first) The Iranians are not stupid, they know that their cities will be destroyed if they do attack Israel.
13. Some simple TRUTHS Israelis need to understand
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (02.09.15)
(1) Obama does not hate Israel, but is doing what is best for America (which is exactly what he should do). (2) If there is a deal, Israel will just have to live with it (3) If there is no deal, the third-party sanctions and the banking distortions will simply disappear because the USA has no power to enforce third-party sanctions without the cooperation of the third parties who will no longer cooperate (4) other than a miniscule number of Americans and a small number of Israelis, no one on earth wants a war with Iran. (5) If Israel and/or the USA attack Iran, the rest of the world will severely punish the USA and Israel. China and Russia have both very publicly said they would punish anyone that attacks Iran. (6) an Israeli attack on Iran would lead to the economic and possibly the physical destruction of Israel.(7) Israel has no viable options, so Bibi may as well just shut up - Bibi has LOST the argument.
14. Obama' wants to make a deal like the one with N. Korea
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (02.09.15)
15. PM is right
Brod ,   USA   (02.09.15)
Obama is endangering America and Israel. This is the reason Congress needs to protect America and Israel from dark forces that are trying to undermine our countries.
