MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (09.27.18)

Trump is the BEST thing for the USA, Israel and the world
He is correct when he says he has done more in 2 years than any other president especially for Israel

2. Author supports Iran deal - what an idiot
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (09.27.18)
Obama had do bypass the Senate and Congress and get the UNSC to ratify it cause he could strongarm its members to endorse it
The deal PAVES the way for the worlds worst sponsor of terrorism to obtain nuclear weapons and alliws them to develop the means to deliver them globally while they wait
The author supports the worst deal in the history of mankind ?
3. You Liberals Are Morons
GHook93 ,   Chicago   (09.27.18)
Trump is standing right behind Israel and protecting her. This was a great speech for Israel. Arabs only respect and respond to strength. He is displaying it. This was one of the best speeches for Israel.

Leftist Jews make me sick!
4. A new low
DSM ,   USA   (09.27.18)
Azoulay set the bar at a new low for stupidity.
5. As always it is hard to follow Azulay's logic, but it does
(09.27.18)
not matter as long as she can denigrate either Trump or Netanyahu, while at the same time praise Rouhani as the truth telling leader.
Where does it say, that USA will not influence world-events?
Under Trump it will simply do it in a smart, more honest and yes, profitable way.
6. Communicated like a true libtard
Joseph ,   USA   (09.27.18)
Another person infected with Trump derangement syndrome

Michael ,   Tel Aviv   (09.27.18)

Biased article from Mozes's family...
Part of the things are true but of course Trump doesn't want US to be isolated..
13. Mr
Michael Grossmann ,   East Bridgewater   (09.27.18)
It does look Mr Azoulay terribly misses the days of Mr Obama
14. Someone else is going to take over America’s role?
Arnie ,   Montreal   (09.27.18)
Yah ? Who ?
France’s Macron ?
Britain’s May or god forbid Corbyn?
Germany!s Merkel ?
China’s Xi ?
Turkey’s Erdogan ?
Russia’s Putin?

America still has and will continue to have the strongest economy and military.

Wake up and realize this is not your grandfather’s world. It is screwed up and America no longer wants to foot the bill for the stupidity. They want the UN and all its satellites then let the above pay for it.
15. another six years of Trump? God save us!
(09.27.18)
16. For Orly only Lenin&Stalin had all-World loving ideology
ab   (09.27.18)
17. "Speech was the worst thing for Israel"
rube vogel ,   Jerusalem   (09.27.18)
Really? The WORST thing? Not overselling it a little? Letting the Iranians have nuclear weapons for example, maybe a bit worse? No?
18. isolation/weak
LARRY LISS ,   24 YRS US ARMY VET   (09.27.18)
bull crap 8 thousand Nukes and russia knows it when war breaks out he will not screw Israel like NIXON/ KISSINGER and we will get our resupply of rockets and munitions. advanced delivery of another DOZEN F-35 IN 12 HOURS
unlike the 73 war .stop acting like a scared child OP ED
19. A Riduculous Hitpiece
steven ,   NYC   (09.27.18)
This hit piece is ridiculous. the us embassy was moved after Jerusalem is recognized as the capital. The defense assistance for defense systems was increased, the IAF was the first to receive f-35's, but she doesn't like the speech of a politician Orly hates anyway.
20. moishe rabeynu
moishe   (09.27.18)
don't believe everything Trump says. US is still a great power and will interfere wherever needed. Trump is temporary. world affairs and US are permanent. two state solution will give Israel problems. no solution is ideal for Israel.Trump will be gone when troubles begin.
21. dime-a-dozen
yosef ,   jerusalem   (09.27.18)
Orly - hopelessly left-brain washed, bleeding heart (not only) - liberal.
Had enough of your childish gibberish.
22. Heads up to all Israeli schnorrers..its time to take that
Al   (09.27.18)
American teat out of your mouths.

You are 70 years old. It's time ISRAEL stood on it's own feet.

Just now I got a call from a previous ckasnatr who went to ISRAEL several years ago.

He hasn't spoken to me in 30 years.

Suddenly he remembered me and he calls increasingly lokibh for a hand out.

When he lived not a kilometer from me he couldn't have been bothered to call me.

Today he became a 'Zionist", which somehow gives him the right to bug the living daylights out of me.

I block his calls..talk to voice mail.
23. orli shmorli femi-moroness
Berenguer   (09.27.18)
24. Eratic he is not. He is first president who speaks truth.
Eden   (09.27.18)
25. Trump says, he is against globalism,
(09.27.18)
but America basically created globalism and globalism and its economy is fully dependent on it. He might save some jobs for miners in West Virginia, but at the cost of thousands of jobs in Silicon Valley.
26. Orly your reporting sucks
Michael   (09.27.18)
Go work for CNN
27. Orly failed to take into account any of Trump's actions
Jake   (09.27.18)
It is hard to see how Trump could be considered an "isolationist" as far as Israel is concerned.
He has ramped up Israel's military and missile defense aid package to the highest levels in history.
He has given Israel unprecedented diplomatic support in hostile world forums.
He has formally recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital and moved the US embassy there.
He has scrapped the harmful Iran deal and snapped sanctions back into place.
He has aided elements in Syria that oppose both the ISIS/al-Qaeda and the Assad/Iran/Hizbullah axes.

What Orly appears to be whining about is that Trump will no longer commit America to aiding the enemies of America, and abetting those working against American interests. He will no longer commit American troops to fighting wars on behalf of nations and peoples who have never lifted a finger on behalf of America or its interests. He will no longer substitute American sovereignty for global governance in which the United States is obliged to play the role of sheriff on behalf of an unappreciative, unreciprocating world.
28. Importance of speech grossly exaggerated
Shachar ,   Eilat   (09.27.18)
Trump is poor at speeches, often says inane or poorly thought out ideas and it is doubtful he has any real plan. But he does like working on pet themes and some of them he is right about. The UN is wasteful and failing at it's job, it should be held accountable. The Palestinians have failed to make any move towards a settlement in 20 years, nobody should be bankrolling their intransgence, Iran is actively destabilising a creaky Middle east, they need to be detered. That the speaker is a moron doesn't mean his message must be wrong. Sometimes even the dunce gets it right.
29. With Israelis like Orly, who needs "Palestinians"?
The One   (09.27.18)
30. He refuses to promote values of liberty and democracy in US
miki ,   jerusalem   (09.27.18)
Why should we expect him to do it anywhere else?
