1. "Obama is not the American public"
Cameron ,   USA   (02.13.15)
You damn straight on that. A vast no. of us here are much more in-sync & align with Net than with our own forever dubious & puzzling Prez. We find this game of fearmongering and antics attempting to ward off Net from his Congressional invite quite disturbing.
2. Bibi must hang in there and go straight to Congress/Senate.
Alan ,   SA   (02.14.15)
Viva Bibi and G-d bless America and its loyal ally ,Israel The Polls are quite right. Yes all seats should be removed from the House as there will be so many standing ovations that they wont be required! Obama is passe
3. Shoula, Shoula... you're still dreaming
Rafi ,   US   (02.14.15)
4. Let us hope this panic will translate into landslide victory
(02.14.15)
for Likud and Mr.Netanyahu. Self preservation dictates it.
5. FUNNY HOW THE ADMINISTRATION OF US
IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (02.14.15)
is so afraid of BIBI. If they are not afraid then they should debate him publicly and talk about the issue publicly. What is Obama afraid of?
6. Israel And Its Relationship With The US
Brett ,   Florida   (02.14.15)
Is not all that important. The congress in America is full of bullshooters. Israel cannot and must not rely on America. Shoula dear heart, I know you read your Torah. The only country left standing at the end of it all will be Israel. obama has seen to it that America is a non-player. Build your weapons stockpiles, and say your prayers, America won't be there when needed. The American people love Israel, but they are powerless. All we can do is pray for you, and ourselves. Look at their government! Twice elected a criminal usurper to office, and a pussyfooting congress does nothing. Do not count on America! Count on Hashem!
7. Left wants power at any cost to Israel
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.14.15)
It was famously said of Shimon Peres that he didn't care if Israel was a heap of ashes, as long as he stood on top of the ashes. Lunatic leftist opposition to Bibi's totally righteous plan to address the friendky U.S. Congress (at Congress' invitation), prove this is true of the whole Israeli left. Thank you for another excellent article!
8. speech to congress
Doc ,   cape town   (02.14.15)
at first I was extremely negative, but now I'm more neutral. To me it seemed like shooting your own foot by provoking Obama. The Obama administration already hates israel and its behavior is like a train to create an Iranian Middle East. So it's ultimately about seeing what the real Obama plan is and trying to reverse it. The speech to congress is the speech a true USA president should be making, never mind Netanyahu. But there will be consequences.. And the UN veto is what I predict will go. But then again .. Within the next 2 years whilst Obama is still there, he will find another excuse anyway. This just allows Obama to blame israel for his own actions. That's how antisemites work..it's like blaming the Jews for the holocaust. Blaming the victim for the crime always makes the criminals feel better.
9. This topics sub-title...
(02.14.15)
Specifically the words "respect and adoration America has for one of the best prime ministers Israel ever had"... This "best prime minister", as it is put, is a corrupt politician who does not hold the country as his primary interest, but rather his own power as head of state... And this idea of "respect and adoration America has" for us... it show just how far off some people are from the reality of things... Israel will burn in thirty to fifty years if things do not get better then they are now... and all those within, will burn with her, and all those outside shall return to persecution and exile. This is our future under corruption, ignorance, extremism and arrogance.
10. USA population may "support" Israel, BUT
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (02.14.15)
That would change overnight if the USA and/or Israel started another war in the ME. People that post here should note that the congress critters are completely unwilling to authorize any more war in the ME. They would not authorize war against Syria. They have avoided discussion the war against ISIL as long as they could, before Obama forced them into discussing it.
11. on the money ,again!
oded ,   usa   (02.13.15)
great op -ed, as always on target. the left's MO is fear and mongoring based on mothings. the smear campaign the left in israel ,and the lefty jews in the us,have engaged in, will back fire.
12. Funny
sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (02.14.15)
Americans support for Israel is unwavering as long as they don't have to send there kids to Iran to fight or spend more money on gasoline. I personally support support Israel 100% as long as we don't have to fight.
13. Americans are clearheaded and normal
CJK   (02.14.15)
they do not think that netanyahu is the devil incarnate or pure evil. americans understand that a nuclear iran is not advantagious for american national security. they understand that netanyaho, whose country is existentially threatened, should at least be allowed to make the case against shia nuclear bombs.
14. Netanyahu - stay home!
Andy S. ,   Los Angeles   (02.14.15)
Netanyahu is out of line and should stay home. He is alienating a majority of American Jews not to mention Democrats. I am a strong supporter of Israel but not of him. He is giving the impression that he is Israel. He's not. But most people will mistake his conduct as Israel's.
15. obligation
falco ,   miami fl   (02.14.15)
As the elected Prime Minister of Israel Netanyahu has not just the right but the obligation to speak out whenever possible against this cowardly and dangerous agreement that the incompetent Obama is on the verge of signing . Generally, Americans are a fair and reasonable people and will support Israel against the Iranian threat in spite of Obama's leftist idiocy
16. Ellie Wiesel supports Bibi
Zipi ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (02.14.15)
He knows about evil and Iran is evil l . Ellie Wiesel remembers another chamberlain appeaser before Hitler murdered 6 million Jews .
