1. nothing new in the speech
(03.04.15)
Except now Obama can't pretend he did not know. Face it: Obama failed in Libya, failed in Iraq and failed in Syria. The only option Obama has is to beg Iran to defeat ISIS for him, and they will do it for a price. He has already given them Yemen and Iraq, but they want nukes. He is willing to give them nukes, but only in ten years so he won't be blamed.
2. obama worse than carter
david ,   new york   (03.04.15)
remember jimmy carter, the one who visits hamas and calls israel and "apartheid state"? well, now we've got someone even worse in the white house. dont worry, he will leave and we'll in all likelihood have a normal president afterwards (even hilary clinton would be better, but of course good chance we'll get a republican)
3. nominal position
john ,   toronto   (03.04.15)
When Pm loses the elections a nominal position should be created if Israel does not want to be at the mercy of its enemies and no effective leader to run the country.I will be able to give better practical solutions for the people.
4. history will repeat itself
Rafael Wischkin ,   Weston,CT,usa   (03.04.15)
Obama chooses to ignore any fact that opposes his beliefs. But worse, he fabricates lies to support them. Hitler took small pieces of Europe on a bluff until his armies were strong enough to take the rest. Iran is doing the same. Building in secret, supporting terror as a military arm, slowly moving its chess pieces around the world. Now is the time for the west to act. More sanction, more confrontation, more support for Iraniam opposition. Çh
5. Obama the failure
Brod ,   USA   (03.04.15)
Obama the idiot does not see what is new. The average person could see that the PM offered something new that should have been used by the negotiators from the beginning. The problem is Obama wallows in the cesspool of the Muslim Brotherhood-Father of all Islamist-Jihadist Terrorism around the world, and is being manipulated by this cesspool. He does not see that the road he is on leads to mega destructions of the world.
6. NETANYAHU CONGRESS SPEECH
Linda Bell ,   Scotland   (03.04.15)
Bibi, to quote Tina Turner, You're simply the best.Better than all the rest. Israelis you should hold your heads high because you have the only decent leader in the world. Bibi is a real statesman not like all the other wannabes.
7. You have the best leader in the world
You are lucky Israel ,   California   (03.04.15)
Cherish him,Israel. Bibi is amazing! The world is amazed at this man.
8. Wow! Can you please loan us your PM?
John ,   USA   (03.04.15)
For just 8 years. Than you can have him back.
9. he came, he spoke, he left
Napoleon ben bibi   (03.04.15)
no change but the bad feelings with half of America remain. Bravo to Bibi - king of Selma Alabama and Teaneck NJ.
10. Can a mouse give practical solution to an elephant?
Michael ,   California, USA   (03.04.15)
Netanyahu did the best he could. His rhetoric was classy, arguments well understood, and he didn't forget Eli Wiesel and the Holocaust to stirr up again the American guilt. He even had the blonde kitchen sink to throw in. Still, there was nothing in the speech that was new or different from what Netanyahu said previously. Netanyahu did nothing to move the elephant, whether in America or in Europe. Israelis realize without shade of a doubt that a better mouse is needed.
11. Brilliant Speech, here is why?
Ron ,   New York   (03.04.15)
In short, Bibi needed to tighten the agreement to something that Israel can live with. He also had “put a ladder” for Obama to get off from the tree. He also give Obama allot of respect which will make it easier for Democrat to be aligned with Bibi’s goals. The fact that everyone missed it means that Bibi was very successful reaching is objective thus far. 1. Having Iran stop their proxy wars 2. Having Iran stop calling for annihilation of Israel. He told the Congress that Israel reserve his right to defend itself which for that he got standing ovation, aka approval. Bibi HAD to speak NOW in front of the world JUST BEFORE the agreement is signed. The idea that he should object to the agreement after it was signed like it was done with the Affordable Healthcare Act is wrong.
12. Magnificent speech in the extreme!
DT ,   TA Israel   (03.04.15)
Churchillian in it's truth, content toughness and delivery. No wonder the fascist Left are apoplectic
13. 10Thanks to Bibi mouse the gap...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (03.05.15)
Kerry mentions with G-D's help might remain.Wait and see.
14. "Brilliant Bibi" Wasn't he greeeeat ?
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (03.09.15)
If I have one wish and one envy is it that America trade one obama for one brilliant Bibi. America got screwed with 'obama rama yo momma.' MORE BUILDING MEANS MORE VICTORY !!!
15. # 9 No Muslims died in Selma but Jews did.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (03.09.15)
And isn't it nice to see obama being humiliated by his own ego and arrogance? " I didn't watch Bibi's speech but I read the transcript." obama's an over blown self absorbed ignorant a** hole and, I mean that in a respectful way. LOL MORE BUILDING LESS obama !!!
