Netanyahu's brother-in-law: Obama is an anti-Semite

I read that he actually called Obama a nigger. Is that true?

That Obama is an anti-Semite to me is beyond any doubt. He also is the enemy of Israel, pretending to be "a real friend". But also not clear, whether Israeli politicians aren't enemies of Israel. The war they wedged on Gaza was useless: the rockets still fly as ever. The only thing that did change is the worldwide aggression-in-agreement against all Israeli and Jewish. If this war had had any real purpose, Islamists would be done with. As for Netahyahu & Co., all his promises before his election were empty words. Now we are to live with that.

Israel? 4000 years old? Since when is 2010 minus 1948 equal to 4000? More like 62 years, I'd say. These guys are starting to believe their own propaganda. All this "anti-semite" BS is so much for naught. Most of the people living in Israel are caucasian. The Palestinians are the "semites". Take a close look at Netanyahu. He's a white man. Case closed.

4000 years? I hate to break it to you, but in the geo-political spectrum( where it actually matters) Israel has been a country for exactly 62 years. Look at any map pre-1948, and that area will have the words, "Euro-PALESTINE" printed on it. I have no issue with the people of Israel, or people of the jewish faith. That being said, the government of said nation is a TERRORIST ORRGANIZATION. plain and simple. They have lied for decades about their nuclear weapons, and they are to date in violation of close to 80 UN resolutions.( The U.S. invaded Iraq because they were in violation of 2!!!) It is not "anti-semitic" to question the actions of the government of Israel. Anti-semitism is just a word they hide behind whenever they are criticized, and its getting old.

Wow! Was that ever stupid!

Our Patriarch Abraham came from NORTHERN IRAQ and The LORD is not A REAL ESTATE AGENT

I agree. Bibi's brother has freedom to express his thinkings. Obama is not showing respect for the Holy Land that was promised by a Holy L-rd to the descendents of Israel. Any pressure upon Israel to give up their promise land, including Jerusalem, must be considered discrimination against the Jews and their rights to live in peace and security in their very own land.

with Bibi's inlaw! Who would a thunk? But even this won't end or make the insane "antisemetic" race card from being used again...PEACE EVER?

"It's not that Obama doesn't like Bibi," ... "He doesn't like the nation of Israel." And how is that anti-semitism? Now, I'll accept that if he had said Obama "doesn't like the Jewish nation" then he might have a point. But Israel ISN'T "the Jewish nation", precisely because Israel ITSELF defines itself as "the state for the Jewish nation". To argue that there is no difference is to argue in such ever-decreasing circles that the word "Israel" ends up dissappearing up its own backside. Not that this would necessarily be a bad thing, but it isn't "anti-semitism" to say that. As the world's 2nd best swordsman once said: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

"Behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them," declares the LORD. (Jeremiah 31:31-32 UMMM YEAH. the covenant was broken long ago God?s promises of blessing to the nation of Israel was contingent upon their obeying His commandments. "the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and be given to a nation producing the fruit of it" (Matt. 21:43). According to Jesus? own words, the crown promised to Israel's head would be placed upon another. I don't understand how christians support Israel either, So God's choosen people are the ones who killed your Savior Jesus Christ(pbuh), but Jesus(pbuh) is God's son? hmmm.. If someone killed my child I would not have them as my best friend; it would be the opposite.

These guys currently rapidly taking their chosen ones back to the dark ages and the rest of us with them.. need a bit of fasting in the wilderness don't they?? Stop funding them then Obama.. Full Stop & Totally..

Anyone who doesn't fall all over themselves to do whatever you tell them to do is an "anti-Semite." Some gratitude you have for the country without whose help you wouldn't even exist!

Ross you hit the nail on the head, I think it is time we took their hand out of the cookie jar, they need a time out.

WOW... GREAT RESPONSE!

the first thing i want to know is can the nation of isreal survive without us goverment support. what do you need a bastard son of america for. do away with him and let isreal ride on . construct as many as you may which, if he obama love d arab let him relocate them to us creat a govert for them in washinton dc

Netanyahu by his actions does far more harm to Israelis and Jews than Obama

accuses the President of the United States of america of being a racist. Says it all really about the socalled ruling elite of Israel. They are in the deep crap up to their necks with a fragmenting Israel at odds with the world and their answer to everything is to blame anyone criticising Israel of racism They used to say Patriotism was the last defemce of a scoundral, I am not so sure.

'Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's brother-in-law Dr. Hagai Ben-Artzi on Wednesday called U.S. President Barack Obama an anti-Semite in an interview with Army Radio. "It's not that Obama doesn't like Bibi," he referring to Netanyahu using his nickname. "He doesn't like the nation of Israel." ' So if an 'anti-Semite' is someone who doesn't like the state of Israel, what's a word for someone who dislikes Jews? There is a difference. It's perfectly possible to like Mexicans but dislike the government of Mexico, for example. I like Russians -- can't say I think much of Russia. Etc. Just as an abstract proposition, it's perfectly possible I don't dislike Jews at all -- but think the state of Israel is evil incarnate. Now, if that makes me an anti-semite, fine -- but what's the word for someone who hates Jews whether they're in Israel or not?

Wake up and smell the bagels guys! what would YOU call a person who tries to divide a land that was given by God Himself to a group of people(who are the only people group that actually have a deed to land)thus showing a lack of regard for them? It is obvious that he isn't siding with Israel. No one has the right to tell Israel what to do, if someone tried to tell the US what to do, we would tell them to take a hike, yet our president (and his cabinet) are trying to force Israel to do something that they would never allow someone to do to us. (hopefully) Mr. O. may not have said the words that show he doesn't care for Israel, but his actions show it. How can he promise the Arabs to give them their state if it means letting Israel be divided (and unable to protect herself) and threatening to with hold money from Israel unless things go his way? Check out articles about all this and you will see that if Mr. O isn't anti-Semite, he is awfully close.

President Obama is the president of the United States of American, he was voted with a clear majority of the population, the more you name call him the more people turn against isral and the jews. He is also the first black president, the more you turn against him the more you create a backlask from the blacks who already blame the jews for their economic problems such as Lehman, Bear Stearns and Goldman Sachs to name a few. So weigh your words when you mention President Obama's name.

This is so dumb. I suppose the proper response is-no-you just hate all black people. I am over you guys.

Just change the B to an S and you get Osama, what's the difference anyways it's all the same BS out of his mouth.

I agree with Netanyahu's brother-in-law. Obama is anti-od, anti-Semitic. He has lied and deceived the american people and will do the same to Israel. Israel, stand firm! Your country has more friends in the U.S. than you can ever imagine! Not the politicians, "the christian people of the United States"

Sir Obama/Madam Clinton: Stop playing politics. Israel is the only Democracy in the whole Middle East. Freedom is its banner.Freedom denied by opposing forces. As friends we must pledge allegiance to TRUTH and put it into action. Let us become a model for good. grace

And if you do, you will be made to pay for it, "Anti-Semite."

This "Ben Artzi" Where is he from and what is his real khazarian name

Mistakes made by our ancestors are still river-bating through loss of life ie solder lives and defenseless Palestinians! To Israel Co-exist with Palestinians not Baby siting by Americans(Military and Economically)

Israel would be a concentration camp, NOT Gaza. And my tax money would endup in the hand of Jewish settlers instead of their palestinian victims.

The Likud-English dictionary shows the following translation for the term "Anti-Semite": "Anyone not far to the right of Ghengis Khan." I realize the jerk isn't part of the government, but his intent is clear and his relationship to Bibi's master is as well.

Any sane person left that church and obama stayed.

First, everyone knows or has some association with *someone* who has wacky views. A crazy aunt/uncle/brother-in-law, for instance. Or a nutty preacher you humor because it's politically expedient. SIDESHOW! The real issue is the policy difference: the US's (long-standing) position is that Israel must stop building settlements. Israel has avoided doing this for decades, with the US Congress allowing it to happen. The key question is whether or not the US Congress is now willing to force action on the issue. I doubt it. Why? Look at my own Senator, Lieberman. He's not the exception. Obama has an uphill fight ahead of him if he wants to "win" this battle. I doubt he will, for two reasons: 1) There will be immense political pressure on him to back down; and 2) He's backed down before, whereas I cannot recall him standing firm (no compromises, no capitulation). And hey, I voted for the guy. Though I can still say I prefer him to McCain, he's been quite disappointing.

Good for him saying out loud what so many American Jews are thinking. Since his candidacy Obama has been immune to Jewish criticism because we are so afraid of being branded as racists. I, for one, am more than ready to have a black president, but not this guy. He's not ready to accept my people.

Why did'nt they pick just the first passerby to ask for his opinion, it can't be more stupide or of less value of a man whose only merit is to be THE BROTHER IN LOW OF BIG BROTHER The army Radio fell realy low, how stupid one can be in a chase for a line to be diffused, what great contribution to the national problems.

of course he thinks Obama is anti-Semitic...so does Bibi, Lieberman, and most of the Israeli public. It's so convenient to label someone who questions Israelis' actions as being anti-Semitic. So, convenient.

To #6 - they are all anti-semites, including his half brother.

You say Obama is an anti semite & it's time to smell the roses. You mean the roses in a JEWISH garden. Because you know if I dare smell the roses in an ARAB'S garden.... I'm an ANTI SEMITE!

I agree that Obama is in reality anti-semitic. It's just not politically expedient to openly admit it. Rahmbo Emanuel is Obama's token Jew in order to pay lip service to the demands of political correctness. Besides Rahmbo is power hungry as is Obama and the two parasites have formed a symbiotic relationship to grab as much power as possible. After the next election Obama will announce his "conversion" to Islam. Christianity was just another rung in the ladder to his ascension to the still most powerful position in the world.

So if someone doesn't agree with the policies of another nation that makes in this case anti-Semitic? Give me a break, was the United States anti-British or French when the British and French had a policy of annexing the Suez Canal? No, they were against that controversial policy. Just because the USA doesn't agree 100% of the time with Israeli policies doesn't make it anti-Semitic. If the Israeli government doesn't agree with the USA a 100% time does that make it anti-USA? Of course not it just means that they disagree on policy.

It is about time that someone besides me believes that Obama the muslim lover is anti-semitic. The sad thing is that the American Jews helped put Obama in the White House with their liberal self hating behavior.

The tragedy with some isrealites is to always call any of their critics anti-semite. Its a blackmailing effort and we have seen it used before. Let therebe intelligent debate.

Would that be the brother of the fat ugly maid beating wife of Bibi? Obama is smart, and tired of Netanyahu's disgusting behavior and renegging of the peace process. Finally some Americans who call Israel's far right on their stupidity.

It was a massacre. It was no war-crime it was a massacre (Humanitarian Law apply). It is quite important to use the right words when speaking. The Armenian genocide was Genocide, the holocaust was Genocide and we have to handle the different shames the best we can.

Sometimes, I almost have to laugh. Israel has just as many crazy people as the US. Obama isn't an anti-Semite, anymore than disagreeing with George Bush made one un-American. People need to lighten up and stop the name-calling.

I suspect #3 has the logic that ONLY Americans are allowed to "insult" (*) the US President--entirely wrong, as revealed even in old joke-books. (*) The fact that AA takes revealing unpleasant facts about 0bama as "insult" is also revealed: (1) 0bama sat for two decades through Jeremiah Wright's sermons, where venom was spewed against whites and Jews (2) 0bama is known to have close connexions with the Naziesque-philosophied "Nation Of Islam" headed by Looie Farakhan--which spews stuff similar to J. Wright

I do think so. A sure sign is he refuses to grovel before the power and influence exercised by less than 2% of the yank population.

If your first point is about the growing knee-jerk and cynical use of the term "anti-semite"--arguably leading to its rapidly becoming a "devalued currency"--I fully agree. (On the other hand, the ADL has been around for decades, and dates from a time when there was widespread and open bigotry against "Jews per se" in the US...so I part ways with you as to why it was formed.)

Continous racial hatred by some Jews shown against the very upright and honorable President of the USA Barack Obama is disgusting..AT NO TIME HAS THE PRESIDENT SHOWN ANY SIGNS OF ANTI SEMITISM..The opposite in the University of Ciaro and every other plaform he has reiterated America's friendship and love for the people of Israel!! Let us rather be honest with ourselves the latest BLUNDER by our country is our shame and not that of President Barack Obama Lay Greenman Degania-bet

I agree with Netanyahu's brother-in-law.

Even if it WERE true, get over it and start fixing the real problems in Israel.

Then label me anti-semitic as well.

after 1967 - there were plans to give independence to the west bank. it was a nice idea but a bad plan. in the cold war, it would have been turned into a soviet base. even now, it is a function of non violence. as long as the fatah-hamas leaders are unreformed terrorists, an independence will be a start for hostilities.

In all honesty, folks, lots of leaders have relatives that sometimes make them cringe. Remember Billy Carter? Roger Clinton? Ghenghiz Khan's son OgadaI? And the list goes on. Remember the old saying: "You can choose your friends, but not your relatives." (Which, by the way, is also food for thought.)

the word "antisemite" is used and misused as much as the word "genocide". If Gaza is a genocide, then Obama is an antisemite. If someone I don't like or agree with says something I don't like or agree with, he is an antisemite. If some people are killed, it is a genocide. What is antisemitism? What is genocide? For people who suffered true antisemitism and genocide, you do them an injustice by overusing and trivializing these words. Save the word "antisemite" for the Hitlers; save the word "genocide" for the psychopathic murderers of an entire nation. Israel is still ignorant about the Armenian genocide. You really need to read more books about this to learn what happened to these poor people. Hitler said no one remembers the Armenians (no one cared or went to save them), therefore it is safe to kill the Jews (no one cared to went to save them, the Jews). And the next time, who will? You are insulting people who are not antisemitic.

in assessing oppressed and oppressors do you include islam which oppresses women and other religions ! so far in israel and before the oppressors were arabs nothing has changed except the oppressed have the ability at last to punish their oppressors. anti semitism doesnt change by the strength of the victim. so 1800 years of history are changing in favour of the victims . hard luck for the anti semites like yourself

Anti-Semitic is a good word it reminds the Israelis? that they are second generation warfare recipients . ?And the statement s ?We are a nation dating back 4000 years ?the Doctor Hagai acts as the Jews invented the world. Long before the Jewish nation 4000 years early the American Indian had a nation big deal. We are not talking about the past we are taking about the present. Anti-Semitism is spreading but it is a good word now. The Jewish lobbyist are unhappy because unlike the Senates Obama does cow tow to them.

Oh, c'mon! You have to be kidding!

great - we can all throw mud - where does it get us - where does it leave us?

so many of you are so quick to insult our leaders it's not the USA that's Hamas and PAL problems - it is YOUR problem - the USA is trying to help - but biting that hand that feeds you is stupid but that's what most of us in the USA think of israel these days: VERY STUPID

...If every anti-semitic leader in the world would provide : --$3 bil in miltary aid --additional aid --gaurantee international bank loans ---conduct joint military exercises --- Denounce the Goldstone report ---allow for tax dedections on chariable contrib ---AND make STATEMENTS LIKE; UNBREAKABLE BOND.. Israel would be in great shape..Israel should hope for more anti-semitic leaders around the world.

The reason Israel needs the 2 state solution is so that they do not become the minority in their own country. The Pals have a much higher birthrate. The educated or more advanced cultures have less kids, so they can afford to do more for them...College, Healthcare... The 3rd world Countries have more kids. They can not afford to educate them and have higher child mortality death rates. They breed more kids so that someone is around to take care of them when they get old. Bibi knows that a One State will be an Arab Majority State.

I'm so sick of the knee jerk response of "anti-semite". When this label is whipped out automatically, without thinking, it unfortunately lumps true anti-semites /anti-zionists with anyone who dares to criticize the actions of the Jewish state, Jewish organizations, or individual Jews (your pick, according to the situation). Obama is obviously pursuing his own agenda at this point -- an agenda that I think is mistaken and wrong and will not lead to peace -- but he is not an antisemite. Perhaps he thinks that he can topple Bibi's coalition. Someone should brief him on the ins and outs of Israeli politics. It's highly unlikely that a coalition lead by Kadima or Labor would be any more pliable on the issue of building in existing Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem. If Obama wants to change the government maybe he should work through the Eida HaCharedit and Neturei Karta. They understand how dangerous new apartment buildings in Ramat Shlomo are ..

The tides are changing, I know think we really need to change our ways, In 30 years Isreali arabs will be the majority in Isreal. We need to rethink the occupation and build a 1-state soloution

Not many Israeli Jews wanted Barak Hussein Obama to become President of the United States. I find it amazing that he tricked and deceived 80% of the Jews in the United States into voting for him. I will never forget that photograph of Obama at the Western Wall (in East Jerusalem, by the way,) with a kippah on his head, sticking a piece of paper into the cracks. That was BEFORE the November, 2008, election. We will not see that happening again. By the way, I am one of the twenty per cent who did not fall for the ruse.

pulls his strings?? the $2 million spent so far to hide his identity show that that entity cannot be trusted in any matter affecting the allies of the usa ! the dimocrats recently have blown a gasket pretending that they are honest brokers bringing change to the mid east !

to his definition, then 49% of Israeli Jews and up to 80% of American Jews also are like Obama. Get back to negotiations and stop fooling around. You can't expell Arabs and they will outnumber you unless you come to a settlement and allow the creation of a new Arab State in the disputed areas.

Netanyahu's brother is a straight-shooter, just like Machon Shilo's Rabbi David Bar-Hayim.

because it is not a heuristic term. It is making a race or ethnic question, referring to the Arab/Hebrew speaking people of the old ME. So now what shall we call the nasty antidemocratic, violent and intolerant people, generalising and demonising people of different ethnic background? Xenophobia is I think a much more descript term, that can apply to Islamophobia and the older term ?anti-Semitism?. It will depict the true nature of the ailment, it is fear!

Any form of criticism of Israel means that one is an anti-semite!

I am Jewish and a big supoeter of peace. Now I do not think you guys want peace. I will not give any more money to Israel or your charaties. Use the housing money to feed the hungry.

... high time that the PM muzzled him... ... both his bark and his bite are dangerous...

the problem is does obama give a hoot about any other building projects anywhere else in the world ?

To #4 I totally agree with Michael. The word anti-semite is being used abusively these days. In my view when I hear the word it doesn't mean much to me just because I see it used by Jews extensively if one doesn't agree with their opinion. That's just wrong and this word should be used for evil people

Born of a Muslim father with a stepfather also Muslim, educated in a madrassa in Indonesia and an ardent supporter of Rev. Wright whose church he attended for 20 years, and Farakham, it would not surprise me if Obama were an Antisemite. His speech in Cairo said the US was based on Muslim ideas, which is a very weird thing for a US president to say. His bow to the King of Saudi Arabia was unusual as well. As for the money the US sent to ISrael, Obama has already halted any payments. US taxpayers complaining about this money might want to check.

President Obama is a "politician" everything he does is for his personal ambitions. Words are meaningless without the actions to support them. Every other Muslim country in the Middle East has no desire for Israel to exist and any negative charactures of Mohammed are dealt with by threats of murder. But tell the truth about Obama's actions are more of an insult to you then what the Muslims do in murdering and terrorizing civilians. May the truth become evident and your desire to know the truth verses speech.

The entire world stormed over G.W.Bush and none of you said a single word (apart from insults to him). And until his death, he's President Bush. So just don't talk.

THe only reason Hagai Ben Artzi deserves press space is because he is related to the PM. He has been spouting odd ideas for years and is an indicator that advanced degrees are no protection from being bazaar. He is an example of someone so blinded by his ideology that reason escapes him. And, of course, anyone who disagrees with him is an anti-Semite. Sort of like Bibi telling HaRav Kadori, that leftest aren't real Jews or that Rahm Emanuel is a self-hating Jew. Ben Artzi does not deserve to be taken seriously. He is just another colorful comic character - one of many walking the streets of this country

They are all anti-Obama and anti-US. They like the US Dollar and not the US.

It is not $3 Billion it is more $10 Billion the US taxpayers are paying Israel each year.

Well said. Obama must tell the Americans how much the US tax payers are paying Israel each year. Everytime someone talks the truth he or she are branded anti-Semite. I have been listening to this word since 1948.

everywhere an "anti-Semite." That's why the ADL was created - for when there is no good answer given by Israel as to why it continues to act like a terrorist occupation state.

Obama likes to be tough with his allies, and then make nice with the enemies... He is a weak Jimmy Carter.. Netanyahu was just signaling that the US-Israeli relationship is waning, and he is right. Leaning on big brother US is no longer in Israel's best interest. Nor, is it the US. The US could not stop Iran from building nukes, and they merely applied pressure on Israel not to do anything, though not much could be done. Abandoning the peace process is in Israel's best interest. They were merely giving up land with less security. It is in the US best interest to have Israel exist in the Mideast (democracy and free-market capitalism). However, the cost was getting too high. Israel must find another way to maintain its existence. It would be good for all...

An anti-Semite seems to be someone, who doesn't like oppression. Real Jews are typical anti-Semites. Marek Edelman for example said: ?To be a Jew means always being with the oppressed and never the oppressors.? Imam Ali (a.s) was another typical anti-Semite, because he wrote into his testament: "Oppose the oppressor and support the oppressed." Unlike his brother Hermann, Albert Göring was an anti-Semite, because he opposed the policies of the Nazis: http://www.auschwitz.dk/Albert.htm The Nazis were oppressors. Being against them, means, that you are an anti-Semite. It's fascinating, how words change their meaning. I remember, that there was a time, when anti-Semitism was regarded as evil. People obviously misunderstood something then. An anti-Semite is someone, who believes in the dignity and human rights of his fellow human beings, independent of skin colour and religion. Anti-Semites are opposed to ethnic nationalism, intolerance and bigotry.

You are absolutely right. Those people using the "antisemitism" in every possible occasion to make people feel "quilty" -the word antisemitism has suffered the "inflation" already a long time ago. Who are taking seriously those accusations any more?

Can anyone every annoy a Jew and not be called an "anti-semite". What a bore! Anyway, perhaps Jews think that term is the ultimate condemnation, but to goyim it is meaningless school yard name calling.

It is amazing what this man said. Everyone that is against the political strategy of these new leaders of Israel are called antisemite. The true is that these leaders do not want peace, they want perpetuate the conflict. Israel never obeyed the UN resolutions about the occupation. So I think that the Israelis deserve new leaders that want peace. This new way is the best for all jews in this small world.

what does the army radio to do with BIBI's brother in low? What a public personality is he?

make it all just worse... the disaster always takes its course when leaders schedules are aimed at self-adulation, instead of the countries advantages and needs.

Talk about Mixed messages. 3 Billion Dollars a year - If only all Jew haters were so generous and schizophrenic. What Bibi's brother-in-Law means is Obama won't worship Israel like it was a religious cult. Self Appointed people busy bodies who think they have a monopoly on truth.

destroying Israel.It is just that neither of you realise it. "what is ben-artzi trying to do? is he trying to destroy israel?" Kohn But keep up the good work---the present Israel needs destroying---and replacing with a democratic nation where justice and equality are the norm.

how does he have such confidence, or should I say arrogance? Obama was extremely popular with the american people in 2008 and he will remain very popular with the american people in 2012. People want real change regarding US foreign policies.

Wright uses the same language as Obama.

Why is it these days that criticism of Israeli policies is considered some as anti-semitism ? The obvious answer must be that it is just a ploy to stop the criticism. Cry victim all the time and no one will listen to you in the end.

We are indebted to America for the money and support they have always and will always give to us - but this is not Afganistan or Iraq - only Israeli soldiers fight for Israel, and Ben Artzi have the sense not to make a comment like that!

It must be tough having to hold your nose and accept 3 billion a year from an anit-semite.

there are israelis who have the same ideas that president obama has. what is ben-artzi trying to do? is he trying to destroy israel?

Ben Artzi should learn the meaning of humility (as a practicing believing Jew, this should certainly be one of his moral values; he just forgot...). Obama has nothing against Jews (many of his top adivsers, including the White House Chief of Staff, openly declare belonging to that faith)and has time and again declared his support to Israel as a country and Nation. It is however conceivable that Obama dislikes Ben Artzi and his ilk as well as non-entities disguised as statesmen such as Bibi. Neither of them really represent Israel and certainly not the Jews as a whole. Most sane people dislike them. So do I. That makes me not an antisemite and it doesn't make Obama one either. As a matter of fact, it probably makes him a true Israel lover because he is able to foresee the dark future that Ben Artzi & Co. might bring upon Israel if they are not reigned in.

If you can't live with either a Zionist entity called Israel, or a Palestinian State, and those who resent this, take a chill pill. One day it will become a reality, and it will solve many problems. It will offer a positive focus to majorities for sure.

If you are speaking to an Arabic audience it's only natural to begin with an Arabic greeting. It creates no other impression. What I found shocking about Obama's speech was that he made Israel sound like a Holocaust reparation, forgetting that Jews have a 4,000 year link to Israel. Making it sound like only a 60 year link is akin to those who say Arabs are paying the price for European Christian anti-Semitism.I see no reason why Obama's attempt to bring the Arab world closer to America is an either/or situation. Arabs and Israelis both have to learn to live together in the same region.

Obama has been raised in a enlightened family, his half brother is Jewish, he studied at Harvard where many students/teachers are Jewish, his entourage (Rahm Emanuel, Axelrod aso.) is Jewish.

They aren't close and can't stand eachother.

30 years ago if you heard somebody was an anti-smite, you thought, 'Wow, that's a bad man. He's like Hitler or the SS.' Now idiots like these accuse perfectly sane, respectable and humane people like Obama of being an anti-semite. There's going to be a whole generation growing up thinking that being an anti-semite can't be that bad. There are real anti-semites out there, really evil people, but abuse of the term anti-semitism risks making anti-semitism acceptable. That's pretty dangerous and counter-productive.

The nation of the jews has learned the tactic of blaming people of antisemitism and putting everybody in the defensive and on notice. What you do not realize how this approach is backfiring every jew. If you are really serious about wiping antisemitism help us help you by shutting you mouths.

Obama should go out and tell the American people the truth , what the support for isreal is costing america in lives and $$. Tell the Truth and i stress the truth. Is there a problem with telling the truth ?

Lucky I don't have such a crazy brother. Obama is not an anti semitic person, he doesn't agree with the policy of Israel. Everytime Israeli people mis using the term anti semitic.
