1. BOUNCING ROCKETS
Robert ,   Israel   (08.05.15)
What Obama does not say is that if a single rocket falls on Tel Aviv or in any other part of Israel, those who threw them will regret it for the next couple of decades, with or without American help.
2. And when Qassams were acually raining on TA-he stopped deliv
ab   (08.05.15)
-eries of "Hellfires" used by IAF..
3. TELAviv
larry ,   israel   (08.05.15)
why not first attack Hezbolla ? Israel and Us take them out of the equation. then talk to iran'!
4. Rockets will rain down
David ,   Israel   (08.05.15)
Because the US is spineless and won't retaliate. Iran is the evil empire and people ignore it because if they pay attention it means they have to react to it. Rather then stopping the bully it's easier to keep giving it what it wants. It's better to let rockets rain down on Israel by proxies and retaliate with strong force then allow the same with a nuclear armed Iran with an extra 150 billion in funding for its proxies !
5. ISRAEL HAS NO INTENTION OF BEING ONE OF AMERICAS BLUNDERS
PARTNER PC ,   reality truthsfulll   (08.05.15)
mr obama and mr kerry are two bullies there making america the biggest bully in america they even have problems in schools with thjier children for this reason and the bully is usually gunned down by the child bullied for years america has used holding back shipments of weapons to bully israel what if ISRAEL HELD BACK ALL SECUITY FROM THE USA WHOS SECURITY INTELLEGENCE IS NOT CREDIABLE AMERICA WILL AWAKE AND REALIZE HOW DESPERATE SHE NEEDS ISRAELI INTELLEGENCE AND THE TWO BULLYS IN THE WHITE HOUSE WILL SHUT UP AND LET ISRAEL RUN HER GOVERNMENT THE WAY SHE WANTS TO NOT THE WAY MR OBAMA IS RUNNING THE USA NOW IF THE AMERICAN WOULD USE THIS TIME HELPING THE KURDS THERE MIGHT BE PEACE IN THE AREA
6. Inversion as always
mick ,   usa   (08.05.15)
He doing the same tired trick of inversion. From his speech we can derive that if Congress approves the deal, rockets will rain down on Tel Aviv.
7. What a total buffoon. Good job America.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (08.05.15)
Says the "community organizer" to the only country in the world with a functioning anti-missile shield. Moron. Says this clown to a country that better than anyone knows the degree to which Hezbollah doesn't want a fight with Israel. Thank you John Stewart drones. As if Iran wasn't bad enough. You gave us an enabler.
8. Obama the hypocrite
C   (08.05.15)
iran's proxies hezbollah, hamas, islamic jihad, have been firing missiles into israel for decades, without the need for a flim flam nuclear deal. when obama came to the presidency, iran had a few hundred centrifuges, whereas now iran has twenty thousand centrifuges and a large stockpile of enriched uranium. obama refused to support the civilian uprising in iran in 2009, which could have resulted in regime change. obama also refused to launch a military strike against iran's nuclear facilities when such a strike would have been very easy. if iran acquires nuclear weapons, as it will under this agreement, it will have a nuclear umbrella under which to carry out its proxy wars and terror wars world wide. israel will not accept this capitulation deal which increases exponentionally the threat to israel's national security. it is therefore unnecessary for netanyahu to meet obama in the near future. the purpose of such a meeting, an attempt to improve the iran deal, is no longer relevant. obama negotiated this deal on his own, with a few others, none of whom are qualified to negotiate such a significant deal if the deal passes in congress, obama and the democrats will have full ownership of it as well as all subsequent consequences.
9. They will anyhow except if Congress
DT ,   TA Israel   (08.05.15)
don't approve the deal the rockets that fall won't be nuclear. Obama is insane. Lets hope Congress aren't and kill the deal dead
10. He must take us for dumber than we actually are and we're
(08.05.15)
pretty stupid as it is! :-))
11. What a Military Genious ?
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (08.05.15)
Deal or no Deal does not prevent any Hizbollah Rockets. I Quote - Obama: If Congress strikes down Iran deal, rockets will rain on Tel Aviv Comment - Do this imbecille think Israel will sit Silent onmoving in the Boat ? Israel could and should strike first, bouth against Hizbollah and Iran. Arn.Sweden.
12. If the U.S sign the deal with Iran
Peter Norfolk ,   Pretoria , S.A   (08.05.15)
Will Iran a) stop its terrorism around the world b) stop arming its proxies and push them to fight Israel c) stop its hegemony over the neighbouring countries d) allow its people to leave decently and introduce the respect of human rights e) stop the mollahs continuing their reign spreading terror among the Iranian population I am afraid that as a result of the signing of the nuclear deal between the US and Iran nothing of the above will be respected. A war with Iran is the best solution !! Obama if you still did not understand what future you reserve to the world even with the signing of such a nuclear deal, you need to consult your psy and come back to reason.
13. Stupid, ignorant, naive man - Iran will anyway
barbara ,   Haifa   (08.05.15)
increase its support on terrorism - Iranian-U.S. deal agreed upon or not.
14. If rockets rain on Tel Aviv, iran gets carpet bombed.
As simple as that   (08.05.15)
15. Netanyahu is ego fighting Pres Obama
(08.05.15)
Per Natanyahu the deal gives Iran two paths to the bomb, "Iran can get to the bomb by keeping the deal, or Iran could get to the bomb by violating the deal" What Netanyahu forgot is Iran is on the verge of having the Nuclear bomb because there is no deal!! Netanyahu's ego fight with Pres Obama will cost Israeli lives!!! netanyahu should be immediately removed from office!!!! before its too late!!!
16. wishful...
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (08.05.15)
Obama's wishful thinking
17. General Obama ,is a war strategist,,not a Politician
Roland ,   london England   (08.05.15)
18. Best way to make profecy come true
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (08.05.15)
is to work on it.Isn't that so Obama,I? But remember:Those who curse Israel will be cursed; and are blessed those who bless Israel .
19. bombing telaviv
harvey gefen ,   toronto ont. canada   (08.05.15)
iran and /or its proxies have and will bomb israel whether or not this deal goes through. the real question is w/ conventional weapons now or nuclear ones tomorrow.
20. Doppelganger speak
US citizen ,   US   (08.05.15)
public: if congress strikes down... private: if congress approves... private: if you talk about the facts you are bad Jew and anti-Israel. public: if you swallow the lie you are good Jew and pro-Israel. And what about Mr Netanyahu? public: deal will bring war private: War is, deal will enlarge it #6 Mick in USA gets it
21. I notice he always says Tel-Aviv
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (08.05.15)
Our capital is Jerusalem you racist moron - not Tel-Aviv. Rockets have already hit Tel-Aviv. Your appeasement of the Iranian thugocracy guarantees that happening. Time to remove Tehran from the planet.
22. Rockets on Tel Aviv
Steve Gure ,   Coconut Creek USA   (08.05.15)
Threats like this are very insulting
23. We told you so
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (08.05.15)
Even before Obama was elected to his first term,many on this side of the pond including myself,after a decade of New Labour government misery,could see him for what he is,warned as hard as we could and had contempt and abuse thrown at us for our troubles and concern. He's the American version of Tony Blair who regards Israel as the root of ALL the troubles in the Middle East and Islamic region.The only difference is that Obama is so much more powerful than Blair and so is vastly more dangerous. How right we were and what a disaster that we weren't taken seriously and listened to. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
24. Mobster threat from horrid pres. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.05.15)
Yet another mobster threat from the horrid U.S. president. His despicable deal with Iran GUARANTEES Iran will build nukes and soon. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
25. If Obama is predicting war without JCPOA then it's a fragile
(08.05.15)
If Obama is predicting war without the Iran nuclear agreement then that is a very fragile basis for peace. And it doesn't bode well for the deterrence effectiveness of the US in the world.
26. Deal fails, fake Persian attack, then attack Persia.
Murray the K ,   Brooklyn, NY   (08.05.15)
Isn't that how it works nowadays.
27. When the Shit Hits the Fan
MadDa ,   Johannesburg RSA   (08.05.15)
assuming OB has his way - the deal - which he has already pushed through - and lets say something the nay sayers of the deal have predicted comes true (hundreds of possibilities). OB will say that this was impossible to predict, not what his mandate was about - in fact he has up his sleeve a million and 1 sayings that he can use to cover his ass and deflect any responsibility he has for leading us to this "best deal possible". Just like he is doing now to persuade us. If he REALLY believed that this was the best deal possible - would he have rammed it through the UNSC immediately ? Would he also have announced his intention to VETO disapproval immediately ? His actions prove that something is amiss.
28. Nuclear Tipped Rockets Will Fall on TA If Deal Suceeds
David H ,   Marietta USA   (08.05.15)
This America's poster boy for affirmative action, out genius President, protector of the Jews fails to comprehend. Or perhaps more insidiously, completely comprehends.
29. The deal?
carlos ,   Sa Diego CA   (08.05.15)
When creating policy or a plan planners have to look at different scenarios not just one. Each scenario has to be evaluated in terms of its impacts (positive or negative). Then it is possible to decide. That was never done. This shows a weakness in the capacity of the U.S. government to do planning.
30. Rockets on Tel aviv if Congress......
David blanga ,   Israel   (08.05.15)
The U.S. President is really flying low. He should have had a NO Deal rather Than have had a Bad deal.full stop. Israel knows how to deal with Hezbullah rockets when and if it Happens.........
