1. obama can retire knowing he did
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (11.09.15)
everything he could to hurt, harm or insult Israel. Wouldn't it have been better for obama to fight ISIS than Israel? jus' saying. KEEP BUILDING !!!
2. No 2-state, 22-state solution!
USA   (11.09.15)
There is no need to create another Arab state. There are already 22 Arab states many of them created out of the ruins of the Ottoman Empire - to be homes for the Arabs! Israel is miniscule in land size, and the 22 Arab states are on over 99% of Middle East land. The ONLY workable solution long term is to move all the West Bank and Gaza Arabs into the 22 other Arab states. Christian Arabs in those territories may opt to become citizens of Israel. The Arabs in Israel remain Israeli citizens!
3. Fractured relationship....???!!!
JB ,   Israel/US   (11.09.15)
Unfortunately, Obama is either totally deaf or intentionally rude...I chose the intentionally rude, Big time... What a shame, that he can't face factual truth..How long can Obama "beat the horse", that pules all the "weight" on his back.. Shame on Obama...
4. Netanyahu Has No Intention Of Working For 2 States
World Citizen ,   the world   (11.09.15)
He is a liar and Obama knows it. No wonder Obama despises the man along with most of the people of the world.
5. May all of Israel's enemies be like Obama
Mark Jeffery Koch ,   Mount Laurel, NJ USA   (11.09.15)
If Barack Obama is Israel's enemy than I hope the Lord will bless Israel with many more enemies like him. Obama took office when the economy of the United States was close to entering a Depression yet he increased aid to Israel every year he has been in office. He has protected Israel at the United Nations every single time. Cooperation between the American military and Israeli military and American intelligence agencies and Israeli intelligence agencies are at their highest point in history thanks to Obama. It was Obama that got the tough sanctions that forced Iran to the negotiating table. Obama's "crime" was in not liking Netanyahu which happens to be a dislike that is shared by the leaders of France, Germany, the United Kingdom and most of the leaders of the world. His crime was in calling for a freeze of the settlements and an end to the occupation and there is not one country on this planet that disagrees with Obama about this. If you Israelis truly believe that Obama is your enemy and an anti semite then you have become quite spoiled and live in a fantasy world. There is NOTHING that the next President who is elected in 2016 will do for Israel that will be anything different than what Obama has done. You want acceptance? End the occupation. Stop treating Palestinians as less than human. Work towards a two State solution. If you believe that Netanyahu has Israel on the path to peace and reconciliation and an end to Israel's status as an international parish perhaps its time you wake up before its too late.
6. More Weapons!!
Daoud ,   USA   (11.09.15)
Just what you need in the region, aren't Israels nuclear weapons enough?,You can blow up the entire middle east already. How do you define insanity (ask einstein)
7. to Frank Owen
JB ,   Israel/US   (11.09.15)
You need to check your temperature, before you post lies on this intelligent board... FYI, American President or his ministers, do not "appoint " or control Israel's cabinet/ Government and have no involvement of any kind in the Governance of the Jewish State... Every loan, given by US is being paid in full on time, as per agreement ... Just when did Netanyahu call Obama the name, you have posted..? I suggest , you find another site to spread lies...
8. To no 2
JB ,   ISrael/US   (11.09.15)
It is absolutely crazy agreeing to your suggestion of adapting Arab Christians in the State of Israel... Are you able to foresee the magnitude of what the only tiny Jewish sovereign State in the world, will turn into...??? Wake up, "USA".....
9. Every time Netanyahu speak there is an image
James USA   (11.09.15)
Bibi is standing in the synagogue repeating over and over the Kol Nidre "all oaths, vows and promises........." This vision is based on reality.
10. endure just 14 months & the Obama years are over
Cameron ,   USA   (11.09.15)
There is light at the end of this tunnel.
11. Why?! They know they're lying, we know they're lying. Why?!
(11.09.15)
12. 2 state solution
simon ,   kfar saba, Israel   (11.09.15)
no problem. let obama give texas to the arabs as their palestinian state.
13. Obama and Abbas seem to be holding up negotiations now
(11.09.15)
Whilst the Abbas refuses to negotiate, the palestinian terrorists appear to be regressing evolutionarily to using caveman tactics of knives and clubs. Anyone who talks down the two state solution is not interested in real peace for two peoples.
14. #4 If you only had a brain
Benji ,   US   (11.09.15)
Daily Palestinian terror attacks make clear the Palestinians don't want two states. They want to eliminate Israel and have one more Arab state. There is absolutely no possibility of a two state solution under these circumstances. Obama and Netanyahu understand this. Palestinians have kissed goodbye to statehood.
15. Obama on Iran deal: "this narrow issue"
C   (11.09.15)
what is a narrow issue for obama, is an existential threat for the jewish state of israel.
16. "liberal segments of the American Jewish community"
C   (11.09.15)
that liberal segment of the american jewish community, including democratic members of congress, joined obama to throw israel under the bus. they supported obama in his fake deal with the shia terror regime whose stated goal is eradicate the jewish state.
17. Obama rude ?
yosef ,   florida   (11.09.15)
Oh'bama is not rude - he is an ignorant, arrogant pathological liar, with obvious Muslim proclivities - how could he possibly relate to Bibi, who is a highly educated, knowledgeable sophisticated politician, dedicated to Israel's survival, in view of overwhelming odds against it
18. so much for the Nay Sayers
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (11.10.15)
I guess the prognosis of the media was wrong, but they will never admit it. Seems like Bibi and Obama can agree on many things and even have a friendly chat.
19. I like Bibi's comment about Any Syrian settlement
Shep ,   Memphis   (11.10.15)
Bibi made sure that Obama knows on the front end that Israel will have a say in how a Syrain truce is shaped going forward. Obama has already done a lot of negotiations with Iran behind the back of Israel regarding the nuke deal, and that will not happen again on Bibi's watch. I also am glad that Bibi is framing these aid talks in advance to make sure his expectations are on the table. US aid is not. One way street. The USA gets more back that it gives when it comes to intelligence, technology and the golden handcuffs that prevent Israel from veering out of the USA's sheer of influence. Not many people knew that South Korea gets 2X more aid than Israel.
20. #5:Because you're clueless&malinformed you deserve your Prez
(11.10.15)
but why should we agree to suffer consequences of his either: mismanagement or right out subversion?! "With friends like that"....would be more appropriate. Are you grateful that he doesn't openly fly ISIS flag on the White House? The situation in ME is without any connection to his policy??!!! Grow up, dude!
21. amazing
rm ,   Amsterdam   (11.10.15)
Despite all the evidence pro-Israel supporters still desperately cling to the idea that the bad relationshiip...wheter real or perceived is all Obama's work. When there is a lot of evidence that it was all Nethanyahu. And still....he couldn't even bring himself to fire an adviser a PR adviser no less who has said some pretty stupid things about Obama and Kerry.....cause you know that's how Nethanyahu rolls
22. President Obama I believe is an honest, intelligent man.
miri ,   israel   (11.10.15)
Attributes that definitely don't apply to some of the candidates who are vying to be the next President of the USA. The question in my mind is whether Bibi truly believes in a 2-state solution and that it would work. There are arab villages throughout the country. How is it possible for them to become one entity ?
