Netanyahu must choose between ideology and U.S. support

Bravo President Obama, He should have kicked Netanjewhoo out of White House all the way to Tel Aviv. Beggars should be treated as such if they act as givers. Israel is sitting on our shoulders and trying to piss in our ears - dump them.. good riddance

Listen to President Obama. He took time out from an all-out effort to persuade the House of Respresntatives to pass health care reform, and he won. Remeber than they US does not "need" Israel for anythng. The US protects and arms Israel, the US has ties of great affection, in cold-blooded calculation of internbational interest, Israel ranks far below Bosnia. And look how long iot took the US to step on Serbian mass-murderers. Take President Obama seriously. Please ignore the hired propagandists from the Murdoch organization. Please. They are as honest as Herr Goebels.

The answer is that if you give billions to a country, you have earned some input.

There will be no peace in the mideast until the Palestinians are treated fairly. Mr Netanyahu should remember that the U.S. has given billions to Israel, but we expect Israel to be serious about an agreement for peace, and that Palestinians deserve unrestricted travel rights, and control over their supply of food,water, mail,, electricity and any other legitimate need they may have.

If any national leader has to choose between national survival and an ephemeral detail such as foreign aid....well, the answer is rather obvious! (for those who argue that Israel cannot survive without US aid, look at India which hasn't exactly had pro-US policies throughout and has oft been hit with sanctions by US; it has survived these sanctions and come out stronger)

i am an american and non jew, so my words are not prejudiced by national relations. what makes the american government think they have the right to demand anything of Israel's government!

what does Israel want ? One binational state ? two state solutions ? then with what borders ? Arafat was no partner fro peace, then hamas is no partner for peace, then obama administration is no partner for peace, europe is no ... the question is "what does israle want ?"

Having been consistently supportive of Israel, to say that the Israeli Government's actions are disappointing does not truly express my dismay, or my heartbreak. The interests and goals of my nation and Israel are, now, truly different. Now is the time to recognize that fact.

Bibi better apologize to US Government in fully statement! Israel should thank us for being the biggest ally in the World,not Japan,not French,not China,not UK,not Canada but US ! He better realized that.

Back to UN resolutions? Your complacent attitude toward genocide if there is no UN resolution mirrors the moral bankruptcy and evil of the UN, and its complicity in three recent, major genocides. One of many examples: Information about Serb camps where women were raped until their bodies gave out and men were starved and beaten to death was suppressed by the UN (LeBor, Complicity With Evil, Yale, 2006, p. 33). Dutch UN troops forced Bosniak men and boys who had taken refuge in their compound into the hands of their Serb executioners (ibid., p. xii). This is what comes of giving resolutions more weight than actual evil.

Eliminating Israel is counterproductive to Iran. It would remove Israel as the main reason for its apeal to the 'Muslim street' that it uses to support its ambition to replace the US dominance of the ME. After all, The Great Satan in the ME is the US, not Israel. Israel is nothing more than a US tool used on the Arabs as the 'Bad-Guy' so that the US can play 'Good-Guy; as it did during the wars of 1948, '1956, 1967, 1973, 1980, 2000, 2006 and 2009. If pushed to the wall (by the US and the EU)to surrender itsland won by blood and sweat in WAR, Israel might just decide to concede to Iran and negotiate a peace and mutual aid agreement with Iran. Remember the Hitler- Stalin Pact?, Hitler had Europe, and the British empire was disintegrating. The US dilemma is that the EU is breaking away while Israel is a thorn in the Arab side that cannot be excised . Is there a solution? There was one when the US acted against the Axis of Evil in 2003 but it was betrayed by the EU and Turkey.

If Israel and the Palestinians want justice, then they should act accordingly and submit to a binding determination by a UN or other agreed upon other international body. The Palestinians would almost certainly accept such a course, if it were available. How about Israel? Do you really think you can be the fair arbiter of your own conflict? All the indications suggest that Israel only wants justice as it defines it itself. That's not justice. It's a fig leaf for war. As an American, I recognize that here I am, the pot calling the kettle black. So be it. Call our Iraq war an illegal preemptive attack and I'll tip my hat and agree. For decades, Israel has not cared about what anybody in the international community has thought because America has been standing behind it. We did you no favor in this. You put all your eggs in one basket, and went on your merry way disregarding international law and world opinion. Now the US is trying to come clean. Israel should too.

On Meet the Press today, Axelrod was pressed twice as to whether American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are endangered by the Israeli slap in the face. He did not disagree. This is the ultimate question for Americans - if they are forced to choose between a nebulous historical connection to Israel that yields no real strategic benefits and an action that will bring more danger to their "boys", Israel is in trouble.

It's not like our President, Mr. Obama cannot do both - a Middle East peace process and reviving our economy. The reason why we, the US people believe we have a say in how Israel administers itself, is because it receives over $5 billion in aid ($3billion in government aid and the rest in private funding and grants)each year. It also receives close to 80% of our foreign military budget aid which is another $2 billion or more every year. If US missiles, weapons, gasoline and influence are instrumental in killing Palestinians and displacing them from their lands, surely, we, the taxpayer have the first right of dissent and outrage. Stay safe in Canada because you know we are your neighbors.

Coalition of lunatics...LOL...good one...I hope Tipsi Livni is shopping for a PM outfit because this coalition is gonna meet its timely demise. Also, I do not understand the heresy of Netanyahu who is nothing but a war monger and a right wing hawk and zealot, having spent most of his adult years in the US and not in the country he now claims he loves.

I know nothing much will come from this showdown with Netanyahu because it's all bluster and no substance. Eventually, Netanyahu will relent -like most Israeli PMs have in the past - and we will be made to feel like some compromise was reached because the 1600 settlement building plan was shelved. I hate it when a non-US person claims to know all about US domestic policy. From the rednecks in the US to the ignoramuses in Australia and New Zealand, we have people condemning our government viz a viz US policy. Notice how I do not mention that your small population of 4.3 million will not see John Key earn a second term? Also, notice how I do not mention that your Maori tribe - who have been the indigenous population of your country - were there over a thousand years ago and yet, do not enjoy equal rights? So, quit remonstrating how Mr. Obama will only be a one-term president. You know nothing about the power structure and corruption that have infected my country.

Why don`t you try it first and let me know how it is? i have tried Switzerland and found it "wanting of honesty."

Bibi, remember how Sharon dealt with Bush and his Roadmap? Sharon was interested in bantustans for the Palestinians, not in a real state. So what did he do? He came up with the "Gaza Evacuation" diversion exercise, throw something you don't need to the wolves and keep what you need for yourself. And you can do the same, Bibi Baby. Sacrifice the Golan and keep Eretz Yisrael. A great deal. The Golan is not part of historic Eretz Yisrael (where the 12 tribes resided), but is merely a high-ground which, nowadays, with missiles and some some listening stations, can be given back to Syria. Indeed, Generals Rabin and Barak, along with NETANYAHU himself (in his previous incarnation) promised it to Syria in return for peace. Once the peace initiative with Syria starts, criticism of Netanyahu will stop in Israel and abroad (from the left), and he will become a heroic figure. Not a bad deal.

It is the policy of Bibi and cohorts to have all of territorial Israel. Our blue eyed Ashkenasi rulers have but one thing in mind. It will leave us friendless which is without the ability to survive long term. We should wind up this farce and forget the so-called glory of a single country populated only by us.

protecting Americans, israel is.Clinton and biden are disgusting. this is not a rift but the Pals want it to be one but it won't succeed. The Pal Arab needs to leave the area,they don't belong there look at history that is why they don't want a state, its not fated!!I helped vote Carter out and I look forward to voting Obama out. The Pals are just looking to make a rift but they can't because Americans don't like terrorists or Obama

Re: depending on a nation's funds. You might soon know all about such dependence sir. I understand that China is buying large amounts of US dollars and trying to buy up much of US industry.

Why don't you try it first and let me know how it is? i have tried Switzerland and found it "wanting of honesty."

Great idea Sol. Better still, bomb a cruise ship. After all it has radar and might be spying from its harbor in Hawaii. Really stick it to 'em.

Dear all you dual types. Are you citizens of the US or citizens of Israel living in the US? Please make a choice. All of your fluff about hating Obama is the cover for your hatred of his Israel policy. And please do not go on about the US interfering in Israel's foreign policy, until you disband AIPAC and take it and all of the money it spends to influence US foreign policy to Israel. You are ungrateful for all the US has done for Israel in the past and deserve no more efforts on our part to help it. Why do you continue to live in the comforts of the US anyway? Buy an apartment in your capital.

"The prime minister ... must choose between his ideological beliefs and political cooperation ...". The author of this article is wrong. The choices the prime minister has is to choose between two ideologies: the ideology of the seed of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob- the Israelites OR the ideology of the seed of Abraham through the gentile Ishmaelites. And Yes, Obama through Clinton, represents the latter; and rather than "blessing" the jews, they are "cursing" the jews, and will reap what they hand out. A caution for Aluf would be to be very careful about the words you use -- for they, too, reap "blessings" or "curses" upon yourself and yours.

I mean, the woman thinks Hitler did what he did through Muslim incitement. You can't possibly believe that she could have know the facts contained in your statement. She probably believes Japan is a Muslim state...

Obam represents the soros/saudi financiers of jstreet and moveon.org. He is seizing the opportunity to try and turn us opinion against israel with the help of his jewish kapos. We will see jstreet back him against israel as they were set by by soros for this moment. Jstreet is financed by soros, arab and saudi interests.

the modern era and nothing has changed..in miedval times jews had to live in ghettos cause we could not live with everyone else..now peace is dependant upon where we live...no building..you can not live here...and yes peace will come from that...and we call ourselves intelligent?...has history taught us nothing?..the land is given to us by god through abraham...no excuses..stand and say it and be done..it is the the basis of our existance.we have no right to anything if we reject what god has given to us..

I think the Zionists of the world (I am Jewish) need to understand how tenuous our position is in the world (what's new). Not out of fear, but out of preservation, I think Jews worldwide need to tone it down, okay? The US already hates US Jews because of the likes of Bernard's (Madoff and Bernanke). We have to realize, my Zionist friend, Jews are hated, but we can't live in a vacuum. Because we are so small in numbers, one Jew's actions is "all Jews actions" and that goes for Israel, the ultra-orthodox, etc. I think all American Jews should send an apology to Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden for Israel's actions. We all hate the Arabs -- they're animals -- but we must survive amongst ourselves, okay. Zionism is a bad prescription (unfortunately) for Jewish totality. Thank you for listening. Shalom.

You should not seek to criticise on the grounds that you know very little 'worth' remembering. For example, Japan was keen to surrender for many weeks before the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima but wished to retain the emperor after surrender. Truman refused this request then dropped his two bombs- then changed his mind and allowed the emperor to remain as Japan had originally requested. The one million figure you quote was plucked out of thin air to justify the bomb. It was bullcrap. Iran would be irrational if it did not develop a bomb. After all, North Korea has one and is slated for negotiations, Iraq had none and was effectively destroyed.

Hi: I think you are Jewish, too by our last name? Well, let me say thatit is Jews of this caliber that make the name "parasitic kikes" stand out ever more to an anti-Semitic America. When will we Jews ever learn we are a minority and are already hated. The world is not Israel. Israel is not the world. As 1% or 2% of the populations, the Jews (worldwide) need to tone it down.

the committee Bibi is setting up. That'll be good for a good laugh.

It is not the 'job front only and not the national health insurance etc... It is the U.S debit when the treasury empty. And the president fighting in many fronts to change the world ! It can't be that Obama doing all the wrong things for only the American prestige in mind ! It can only be one thing; his own personal rate among his own folk ! The man who came on the promise of change must be seen he is doing some thing ! The Arab-Israel conflict is the wrong choice for Obama ! Others tried & failed !

You know, I am a Jew and I enjoy my culture, but I think Israel and the ultra-orthodox Jews need to realize what we are all up against as Jews. What happened with Mr. Biden's visit was not only insulting for American Jews, IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS for us. Israel needs to remember (as do American Jews) that we have no friends. Israel must never act on its own behalf without thinking of the Jewish consequences -- those brothers and sisters, orthodox or not, in America. Without us, Israel would surely perish. Israel must know that American Jews are already hated due to the likes of Bernard Madoff and Ben Bernanke. Stormfront describes us as parasitic kikes. You wouldnt believe the anti-Semitism in America already. Israel, ultra-orthodox Jews: don't act in a vacuum, please. Think of all of us please. Thank you.

"I don`t remember Israel ever rebuking Eisenhower or Kennedy over this project." Why doesn't that surprise. Yesterday you didn't remember that Eisenhower kicked Israel's arse out of Sinai, also in the 1950's.

Israel can do whatever it wants, of course. But not with my tax money. We send Israel over $2 billion per year. In other words, Israel is spitting in our faces and we're paying for it. I'm sick of it and so are my friends. The Israelis say our government is going too far by calling them on their bull. We say this isn't even close to enough.

A few US cabinet positions etc always go to important people. A stockbroker runs the SEC. A banker runs the Fed. The President can't fire these people -- they could almost fire him. And if Americans don't like how banking is regulated they can just cry. Israel is even more like that. Imagine we had a lot of single-interest parties that each get congressmen, and the President needs a coalition, and he gives cabinet seats to parties who control their own bureaus. So, one year the Mafia gets the FBI. The Roman Catholics get control of medicine and abortion. The NRA is in charge of gun control. NAMBLA is in charge of everything to do with homosexuals. NAM decides about international trade agreements. But then in the next government, the Korean Mafia gets the FBI, the Science party gets medicine, the Unitarians get gun control, the Baptists get homosexuals and AFL-CIO gets trade. And nobody makes long-term plans because what's the use? Except the Army.

You are very right, they get the biggest insult from iran and syria and yet the US don't dare to open their mouth. But they have a big mouth to Israel when they build a toilet in the West bank

... one can't help to think, you are either a lunatic or can't help talking to yourself ! You can't help yourself swearing and using bad language both of them can't make any sense ! One can't help not to believing that you are full of hate ! Exposing yourself to the trauma of hate, as you are keep doing by sending your posts on the same theme, it will only aggravate your condition & certainly never cure you or be of help to no one ! Try something else mark lincoln. You have one massage & it was advertised by yourself long enough. Wish you well !

"I think Israel knows what it needs to do. A false-flag attack on a major US city should put things right. Philadelphia or Detroit?" This is treason. Israel would not commit a false-flag attack against any American. Never has. Never will. It is antisemitic to imply that they might. You are like the antisemites who hint that Israel might have known about 9/11 ahead of time. You are like the antisemites who say that Mossad lied to the USA about Iraqi nukes and lied the USA into war, when really Mossad told Bush there was no Iraqi nuclear program but Bush ignored them, and the Israeli prime minister said in February 2003 that invading Iraq was useless and to invade Iran instead. You are like the antisemites who say that many acts of arab international terrorism were funded and planned by Mossad to increase support for Israel. Publicly saying that Israel might attack the USA and blame it on Israel's enemies is treason against Israel. Never let an American hear such a thing.

... the sector of Washington DC known as Southwest was a bustling slum, ridden with vice, rats, and garbage. It was not what the nation's capital should be, at least so close to the Mall. The entire population was cleared out in front of bulldozers, and demolished to the last brick. Up went large government buildings and the rest of the space was filled with upscale high rises and townhouses, a yacht club, and tony restaurants. I don't remember Israel ever rebuking Eisenhower or Kennedy over this project.

Our Ambassador would already have been called home for 'consultations' and further munitions shipments would be on hold.

Syrian President Bashir Assad, responding instantly following departure of the U. S. Under-Secretary of State from Damascus, invited the Iranian president to his capital. The Assad-Ahmadinjead press conference can be described most tactfully as a roast of the Obama administration. The two presidents announced removal of travel visas, meaning that Iranian terrorists are free to travel to the borders of Europe and Israel. Assad, not ordinarily known for humor, said of U.S. hopes of separating Syria from Iran that "[w]e must have understood Clinton wrong because of bad translation." The Iranian president reliably played straight man: "The Americans are forced to leave the region, leaving their reputation, image, and power behind in order to escape. The U.S. has no influence to stop expansion of Iran-Syria, Syria-Turkey, and Iran-Turkey ties. God willing, Iraq too will join this circle." This was right after Obama announced return of u.s ambassador. Obama has also given syria new plane parts and sensitive communication systems and word is Obama is offering Syria to enter IMF and gets nothing in return. But Samantha Power, Obama, Clinton jump on Israel at first oppurtunity and say nothing to syria. Samantha Power in 2002 said force should be used against Israel. http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/03/obamas_iran_policy_collapses_t.html This administration sees Israel as the problem and is getting closer and closer with Syria. They put Samantha Power on the Israel file.

Obama isn't the u.s he came to power in a perfectd storm with bush unpopular and financial crisis. Dems couldn't even win mass senate race.

BiBi, don't get scared, not only Jerusalem is ours forever, remeber even Napoleon declared in 1799 Palestinan as ours! Don't let Mr. Hussain Obama, the muslim desguised in Christian president dictate us what to do and how to do it, he is imposing Socialism/fascisme to his own citizen, we need to overcome our first true obstacle and it is Mr. Hussain Obama! He is not an ally and despite pretending it, I don't recall him traveling to Israel! Be strong, we are all supporting you with our will, and we will come back fight for our Hebrew ancestral homeland, we are the chosen people after all.

"[Netanyahu is] one of the most obnoxious individuals you're going to come into - just a liar and a cheat. He could open his mouth and you could have no confidence that anything that came out of it was the truth." - Joe Lockhart, White House Spokesman under Clinton It is not clear if Netanyahu has deeply held beliefs or mere "tendencies" fot right wing nationalist behavior. Former PM (Likud) Shamir called him "an artist" because he handed over Hebron to the PA under Oslo. (Netanyahu says that was a "mistake" to do.) Netanyahu ran on the platform of "no independent Palestinian state", but 4 months later accepted it. What is clear is that Netanyahu is unusually susceptible to pressure. This is what Obama should bear in mind. Let the US and EU apply their pressure, and let Netanyahu try to convince his coalition partners that for the good of "Am Yisrael" they have to give in.

We got yer back over yonder at the OK Corral...Don't let that Obama fella rattle y'all...he ain't got no bite cause he sure don't have our support over here in Tombstone, or in America for that matter. I reckon so

Pathological: being such to a degree that is extreme, excessive, or markedly abnormal (a pathological liar) (pathological fear). This pretty well describes the rabid right which a week ago was cheering every outrage and insult Netanyahu heaped upon America. How can I make such a statement? Now they are blaming the whole problem upon America. Their reality denial "being such to a degree that is extreme, excessive, or markedly abnormal" Driven by their "pathological lying," and their "pathological fears." Netanyahu has been hoist by his own petard folks. The same systematic pattern of truculent insults you were cheering just days ago.

"Whoa - Democrats with Spines!" - Mark of Lewiston I never doubted that they had spines, the same sort as an eclair. If the dummycrats have discovered you have to stand up and punch back then they are not going to be the pushovers that made life easy for rapepublicans.

...on one of the major cities in my country. Seems kind of cold, friend, considering the death and destruction you seem to be advocating. Then again, maybe I misread you.

I reckon so "Doc".....That Obama feller and his co-horts are a real Obamanation

Obama and his monsters will be gone in 2 1/2 years.............You betcha

Israel's increasingly isolationist policies are getting nowhere. You want US money but you don't seem to want US interference other than blind praise.That's not how it works in the grown-up world. Face it biting the hand that feeds you is never a good idea. Be a little more reasonable and honest. I am sure that would in the end more beneficial than your current policy.

I'm strongly confident of the american majority opinion concerning the preference between a strong, balanced friendly relationship with the arabs and the one sided complete obedience to the extreme rightists in israel.

....it's his party, that isn't anymore, for good reason (total lack of backbone, at least until recently). So if the Republican party continues to be led by crazy wingnuts like Sarah Palin or Rush Limbaugh, Obamas chances will actually be pretty good to get a second term, all he will have to do is to make some progress on the job front....

dino , still writing bilge day in and day out !

....neither Hamas nor the Israeli settlers will wander (or move) anywhere, and therefore the International community will have to find a way to deal with both of them. As I said before, maybe the Israeli settlers should move to Gaza or the other way around, and then they could establish their own little "Holy land", the extremist version of it, so to speak....

And one who probably believes that Mohammed's intention in the Quran was to create Instruction quit for eternal war... The earth is round Tom, and 4 billion years old... not 6,000. No flame spoke to Moses, Noah's Ark was never, and the Crusades are over. Get back in 2010 and start watching the stars as other places in our Universe (Not Whites dots put on a great black sheet by all mighty God...).

Let's see, become an admired co-partner in the 'First world', by creating an enlightened government and society; or fall, with the enmity of the World, to the low ground where he can consort with all kinds of third world 'tin-horn' rulers and morph with their styles and forms. Unfortunately, Bibi's need for supreme power leaves his third world coalition his own avenue of expression. How sad this is today for deep thinking Jews. How sad this will be tomorrow for the rest of them.

If not for the G-d of Israel, there would be no Israel. Those who bow to other G-ds are in grave error. Good thing G-d chose Israel or she'd have no chance.

You just let your wildest fantasies take over what was, before those lines, a relatively thoughtful argument about Nukes being used to prevent US losses in an invasion of Japan. And face the facts that do not go all the way back to Bible times. The USA's beef with Iran is not about the Nuclear program. Your beef with that country is about the embassy. You guys still can't accept the insult that Iran gave the US a well-deserved slap in the face by taking over the embassy in 1979. This is why you can't get over Cuba... The US can easily forget what it has done to Mossadeg, to Allende, to Goulart... but they can't forget Iran or Cuba. Losing is forbidden in the US... that is your beef with Iran... even if you can't admit it...

If todays Israeli's were the blacks of the former segregated American South, this would be called, & rightfully so, segregation. I didn't realize Obama had the power to legitimately return to the segregation of the past even if this now applies strictly, ONLY to Israeli Jews . Pity for a 'constitutional' lawyer that this segregation demand, exclusively on Israel, applies the atrocities from his people to our people.

The final insult happened last week as V P Biden was in the Middle East to assist in 2 state solution talks with both sides. As it has done before, Israel chose this time to embarrass every USA citizen and our VP by announcing the 1600 new illegal settlements. We should cut off all military and monetary aid to this rogue state. They have no other friends in the world. Their recent murderous mass killings in Gaza using US made phosphorous cluster bombs on innocent civilians many of who were women and children stunned the world. We should also stop Jewish control of our politicians via the stench of AIPAC money insuring our leaders bow down to the Israeli Idol prior to their being elected. Israel will then have cast it's last insult at their only nation friend on Earth. Treat them as they treat us...like dirt.

"And it will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it" Zechariah 12:3 "Why are the nations in an uproar and the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His Anointed" Psalm 21-2 Oh the priceless look of humiliation on Biden's normally arrogant face. Thank you Israel, you don't need the U.S., the U.S. needs you.

feels "insulted". It is presumed that nobody can "insult" superpower - this kind of vocabulary befitting second rate countries with inferiority complex. It is of course unfortunate that VP of the US felt humiliated - for the sane reason. Is it possible that the Administration's petty sensitivities do not correspond to the powerful, generous and just country called the USA?

Obama is drowning in his one myopic subject, the failing Health Care reform debacle. People in America want jobs, security, and so do Israeli's who've had to fight the Saudi's, Pals, the Lebanese, Syria, Iran, etc. and now Obama who seems hell bent on making Health Care a necessity over what Americans want and that also includes his imperial attitude against our only ally in the ME, Israel. He just can't seem to do anything right. Ask the Supreme Court, the Republicans, and more and more Democrats, Independents, sour ally Israel.. Anyone I've left out?

annexing Australia? WOW!!! " And lets not ignore other vicious imperialist countries that must to do "moral" homeworks first. Even Great Britain should run away from the Falkland islands which are argentinian." Legally annexed 1908 "In the meantime...Israel should JUST pay attention to America and its moral veto in the SC. That counts. " Indeed it does. Why do you think Bibi is panicking? However morality is not played out by veto in Chapter 7 resolutons. Chapter 6, by it's call to adhere to pacific settlement of disputes as per the UN Charter is far more moral ground.

Japan not only began WW11 w/ America by the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan also refused to surrender, after Germany had, and it is estimated that the USA would have lost one million more troops had she not used the bomb on Japan to make her surrender. If either Japan, or Germany, ( or even the muslim allies of Hitler) had had the same bomb, there would be nothing but muslims now. ( and the Sunni and Sharia would still be in civil wars amongst themselves) If Iran thinks this may be accomplished by her ability to manufacture the bomb w/ International condemnation and threats to both Israel and America, all of Iran may end up like Hiroshima. In addition, Iran would have brought about her own destruction as did Japan.

I was there & born there & millions of jews know just like both of us ! "... more so, you never stood feet in the West Bank" Mandelarab. The west bank is no different from any arab country ! The islamic traditions of hate the jews is not different even by degrees ! The arab have a chip on their shoulder, in the west bank and the same anywhere ! They learned that from their religion & consider it the duty of the believers to the none believers. Of course in the West bank must be worse ! Where the palestinians consider themselves 'occupied'' and made themselves above the laws. That must be worse for the law obeying citizens like the jews in Baghdad. The arab in the west bank are always in a state of revolt. They call it 'national movement' ! They want the freedom of killing, insulting, and disgracing all those who are not of the same faith as themselves and specially the jews ! Now, can you tell me Madearab "why the "repressive regime" in the West Bank" ?!

I know you'd love it to be so, but the Bible is not a daily newspaper, or a reference in Historical sources... Noah's Ark did not exist Moses, but Dinosaurs did. The earth is round and goes around the sun. No flame ever spoke like a philosopher or lawgiver, and this planet was not created in 6 days. Sorry to destroy you Mickey Mouse World, but things are as they are because of Scientific reasons, not because of a book that has been re-written over and over again says otherwise...

When Obama was a senator he mocked the Bible but he dares not mock the Koran in public. As president he bowed to and seemed to kiss the hand of the Saudi king, now an alleged ultimatum is given to Netenyahu because Israel wants to build in Jerusalem. I hope he is not showing who his true allegiance is with. I hope Barrack Hussein Obama does not attract the anger of the G-D of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. America has enough problems, the last thing we need is to align with Israel?s enemies,for then G-D will judge America greatly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi-V_ilJu0w&feature=related

this move makes both Bibi and Israel look weak and cow towing to Obama. Not good for either Israel or US. Obama is already weak and Bibi& Livni? are rushing to join Obama on the way down to the bottom. Very bad move on Israel's part.

Turkic tribes still live in Siberia. Russia = get the hell out of there!!! To short-circuit your argument in another, more Mid-Eastern fashion, I will add this: 1- Wether some Arabic Jews continued to live in Palestine for thousands of years after the beginning of the exodus is pointless to give any right to Ashkenazi European Jews to claim lands as their own. If we were to follow on the same baseless rhetoric, we could claim that the Caucausus should be Israeli as the Kazhar Kingdom over there was a Jewish entity!

for thousands of years?

For thousands of years?

This is a tough spot to be in BUT ! Netanyahu should do as Prophets of old Obey God and He will take care of Israel not the USA. Joel 3:2 says ANY Nation that divides the land of Israel given to the Jewish people forever God will Curse.,,,,,America is in Trouble with the Obama Admin. People Read Your Bible !!! Forever means Forever the Land Israel to the Jewish People. Rabbi Yeshua(Jesus) Messiah will return and clean house (John 1:49)

SO WHAT IS YOUR POINT? That if Australia returns Aboriginal lands back, Israel will then stop behaving illegally? Return the territories it has illegally acquired? Indeed, maybe yes CJ.... Your turn first. Be my guest. And lets not ignore other vicious imperialist countries that must to do "moral" homeworks first. Even Great Britain should run away from the Falkland islands which are argentinian. That's the deal CJ....You first...and then.... Israel should seriously consider ....its options...Not a single minute before. In the meantime...Israel should JUST pay attention to America and its moral veto in the SC. That counts. The rest is part of your legalistic nonsense that could be dropped to wherever you choose.... may be the garbage of history????

No need to choose. Simply need to wait out next 2.5 years for this back-stabbing administration to get elected out.

This is precisely why Turkey can now claim that Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgysztan, Xinjiang and Norther Siberia as its lands. After all, they were taken by Mongols in 1220!!! Hell, if we were to seriously consider your comments as valid arguments, Lebanon could claim Southern Spain since Commercial docks were established there way before even the Romans took over. Under those assumptions, Should Iran claim Iraq (since Cyrus controlled Babylon way before the Arabs conquered Mesopotamia)? Should Egypt pay some compensation to Israel for the enslavement of the tribes in 2000 BC? Should the West accuse Mongolia for the Hun invasion of Europe 400 AD? Should the Moghuls still claim rights over India? Should Poland still claim Lituania. Should Sweden claim New Foundland? Should Spain claim the Philippines? Should the Incas claim the end of Peru and Ecuador? If we were all thinking like you, we would go back to the dawn of times... To the Dino's era!!!

...is that Israels regrettable need to be able to defend itself by itself does not mean there is a need for Israel to stand alone by itself. One might even argue that making friends and forging as well as maintaining coalitions is a vital part of insuring the first necessity. The Prime Minister of the State of Israel has taken over at a point where these strategic assets have been at a high - and abandoned them without any need. From outside it seems as if the government has completely lost touch with the careerlevel members of the foreign office, who are probalby in disarray and very frustrated right now.

... most Americans are more concerned about people being able to afford homes to live in, than they are in trying to get the Jews to stop building. I am an American, and I am glad Israel has a PM with some backbone. Our own President seems to spend most of his time bowing to the Japanese and Arabs, and handing out money to bankers. I want my country back. BO, let the Jews run their own country and leave them alone!

He knows that he cannot negotite successfully with his present coalition; yet he does not form a coalition with Kadimah. Netanyahu must admit failure and resign. We need elections, not only because of our relations with the US and the Palestinian problem, but also because the ultra-Orthodox (haredim) are gradually taking over the state.

To #74: you write "the American people support Israel". How do you know? Those who do say so loudly, the others keep their mouth shut because they don't care, or for fear to be labelled "anti-semitic".

Were you protesting?why not? As a preacher against occupation when are you leaving Australia? Go home Israel has always had Jews.Whites in Australia are invaders go back where you come from.now.

He will be out the next election and the adults will be back in charge once again, The USA will be Isreals strongest ally once again after he is gone.

I doubt Israel would jump ships. After all, have you ever seen Israel become the strategic ally of some Power that actually has backbone? No! This is because Israel cannot accept that others disagree, from time to time, with its viewpoint. You can try to claim Israel can go anywhere to get what it wants, but you are only proving you live in a fantasy world. Without the US, Israel is nothing...

What you don't seem to understand is that it is a tenet of zionist belief that the law (any law) does not apply to Israel.

The great apocalypse is upon us, the day of reckoning is at hand! I was sure you were about to write this after your baseless comments on Obama being a dictator. Let's be truthful, you do not know anything about a dictatorship as it is obvious you never lived in one (if you claim the man is a dictator). More so, you never stood feet in the West Bank... for you would see what a repressive regime is all about. "He will let Iran be nuclear". The man can't do anything about it... but be sure Cipora, Iranians are less apocalyptic than you are. Therefore, whether they have the bomb or not is irrelevant. To finish, if you want to point figures at those who might use Nukes in the future, all I can say is that only one country has used it on civilians throughout History... guess who!!!

If you have to depend on another nation's funds, supply and diplomatic protection, you are a lot less sovereign. If Israel loses our help, it will be in deep doo-doo.

when Israel stands alone (with no friends) Messiahs will come and bring order and salvation. They are longing so much that they drive the politics to a cataclysm. Poor Israel ruled by religious fanatics!

address his own public on Israeli TV.Delaying this event is not an option. In past crises situations,Bibi has shown me,he's not to swift,or adept on the art-form of communication with his own citizens.

Why are you bothering to address your posts to me dear fellow. I agree. The Aboriginal people have been treated abominably. However, they're not asking me to leave. I doubt that my Aboriginal RELATIVES (by marriage) wouldn't hear of it. Australia HAS returned country to them. Areas 100's of times bigger than Israel's illegally gained territories. They have in turn leased some of it BACK to the Australian Government and mining companies. SO WHAT IS YOUR POINT? That if Australia returns Aboriginal lands back, Israel will then stop behaving illegally? Return the territories it has illegally acquired? Is that it? WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA!!! Bravo!!

And wasn't that the same story in all the centuries ! And jews was always the ideal choice ! A comedy that can makes one laugh with all its calamities !

Then we'll see how Obama and friends like seeing all the hi-tech gadjetry being invented in China (like cell phones, flexible batteries and screens, anti-missile technology, etc...) China has lots of dough, and answers to noone.

'cohones' to actually stop taking politically blackmailing orders from AIPAC and ADL? After all we ELECTED Obama... not Foxman [and his 'network' ;-) ]

It keeps saying that the Palestinians should come to the negotiatingtable. Without preconditions. Yet it is Israel that keeps putting obstacles in the way. complete disarment, the IDF won't leave the Westbank, We won't negotiate Jerusalem, Ariel is part of the Israeli concensus, the Jordanvalley is too important to cede, The declaring of Westbank sites as National Israeli heritage and so on! What exactly is there left to negotiate? You put both Abbas and Fayad in an impossible position. And now you've managed to deeply insult your closest ally and biggest protector. Makes me wonder what's coming next....can't be good.

Obama embarassed Israel? Funny I thought it was Israel that started the embarassement. And as for diplomatic conduct...you do remember the quite public rebuke of the Turkish ambassador don't you? the israeli government should have the nerve to make someone responsible for this affair. And it should be Yishai!

Israel can't hear you, she's taken over where Moses left off. The Muslims have tried forever to destroy Israel and Israel owns the Muslims gates, egress and ingress, just as prophesy foretold.. And what has the Koran foretold? to murder Jews, women, kids, etc. Thank but no thanks, keep Islam to yourself where it belongs. We prefer freedom and liberty to "religious' mad men.

Every century is a dream that didn't come true ! "Never again" how the 20th century began ! "Enough is enough" is not what those who wants to bring the 6th century back ! Calibrate the 21 century & you will find yourself alone !

There is a much larger security issue to consider and building additional homes for Jews in East Jerusalem is a move in the wrong direction. I applaud both President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for standing their ground and demanding a real effort to bring peace to the Middle East. It is clear the Palestinians need their own homeland before Israel begins to take property away from Arab Israelis in East Jerusalem. How can there be peace while treating a neighbor and fellow citizen with so much disrespect?

which according to an American official will cause pressure within the Netanyahu coalition. I wonder if the European Union has given Netanyahu a similar list that Israel must undertake before we can be really good friends. Interesting times

He (and most of his European allies, as well as the rest of the International community) wants security for Israel, and justice for the Palestinians, or in other words an end to the 60 year old conflict. What he and his European friends don't want anymore, is the "if only" (you will deal with Iran), "we will" (make peace with the Palesti- nians) approach coming from Israels governement. Because we have heard that a hundred times before (last time in the case of Iraq, "if only you remove Saddam, we can make peace with the Palestinians"), and nothing has happened on the ground. That's why Obama wants to see both dealing with Iran (he obviously prefers defensive "shield" measures, if the diplomatic course will fail) and an Israeli peace accord with the Arab neighbours happening simultaneously. And that's why the Americans are telling Israel now,that the time for "playing games" is over...

And she answers to a Higher Power. Obama, isn't sure if he's a true muslim or true American. America thinks he's not fit or qualified to be President. Israel can't lose and Obama and his Muslims can't win.

Obama is a non apologizing muslim. America will need no apology for legally removing this clown in 2012. He can't pass the Health Care bill and he can't do squat except being an expert in failures. The pools reflect this and each time they poll, his approval numbers are less and less.

Day by day Israel and its right wing polititons israel, from every allie, first the Turks now USA you can not keep on reliying on AIPAC all the time, Americans are fully aware of the power of AIPAC and one day it will be full blown rejection coming from everywhere, we need to change course

his removal by vote in 2012. Besides his insulting the Supreme Court, the Dems, the Repubs, the Independents. is there anyone left ( pardon the pun) who supports this greatest of US failures in elections? Hardly. Other than ACORN or the muslims.

Were AUSTRALIA illegally occupying, illegally annexing, illegally settling. But you know, I`m unable to find any UNSC resolution... maybe you could help? That's right CJ .There are no UNSC resolutions against the illegitimate and criminal colonization of Australia. Therefore you can really calm down your dirty consciousness. However there are non binding UNSC resolutions against Israel. As you know there is chapter 6 and chapter 7. The UNSC really knows how to deal with the real baaaaad guys. So as a matter of fact I do not believe that non binding resolutions mean anything at all. Moreover, in contrast to aussies, Jews are colonizing their legitimate historical land. Moreover, you dont have to be a fanatic in order to be concerned about security.There is indeed a minor or a big chance, that if Jews dont sit there terrorists will. In sum, israelites indeed care of what America has to say, but muuuuuch less about your legalistic non binding nonsense.

As for Israel, it is already in chaos, but maybe it becomes an excuse to get the important parts moving in the same direction especially if they do not want to. As for the Palestininas, Hamas is a "dead" issue internationally and should move to Iran or Lebanon if it wants to survive, From the Dubai "event," it see its own mortality.

Netanyahu made his choice "security first" ! The palestinians-arab-islam never have security even for their own. Their massage is clear and leave no room for doubt ! Obama in trouble with the dreams he promised ! Time for human blood as a sacrifice is gone, if only Obama look beyond t The lives of both palestinians & jews can't be wasted because of the mistaken strategy of Obama. And isn't that what the peace that Obama imagined is all about ? The last intifatha of blood and tears ! If there is war in Gaza today, no one explain how it will not be a war in the 2-state? What ? Obama wants to see the proof. Gaza is not enough for him ! The war in Iraq & Afghanistan are also not enough for him! Only when the killing of both jews & palestinians will start Obama will be convinced that he can't do the impossible ! Netanyahu have no choice but keep to the choice that is left for him when the world is mad ! Iran & now the palestinians ! The true story of the 21st century!

Bibi must be very clear that Israel is not going to remove the major settlement blocks! Israel is not going bk to the 67 borders. Israel is the rightful sovereign over all of the West Bank - morally, historically and justly!!!! Morally - The arabs have 800 times more land than Israel Justice - Israel offered peace in 47, 67 and 2000 and got war in return Historically- This is the jewish homeland for 4,000 years, the one and only - see the bible and all jewish prayers. The arabs never had any interest in Israel. The Palestinians can have a State in parts of the west bank that include the areas populated by Arabs with land contiguity. Israel is not removing 500,000 Jews and the Jews are not going to become residents of a future Palestinian State. The sooner the Arabs and all their supporters accept this the sooner there will a PA state and the sooner there will be peace.

Israel has acquired east jersualem after an imposed war on it. It is right and just to settle there, by taking advantage of a legal lacunae in international law. Nobody questions seriously the legitimacy of West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Regarding east Jerusalem even palestinians in Camp david and Geneva agreed upon facts on the ground. Saying that, the only thing that Israel has to care about is what the United States has to say about this. The UN is irrelvant. Howver, this diplomatic blunder was triggered by Israel incompetence and will have to pay for it. The price is not high anyway. Building in jerusalem will have to be stalled and negotiations with the palestinians be geaered up. In the meantime the most important issue is to build and cement the coalition against Iran. Negotiations with the palestinians will lead to enhance the coalition against Iran and probably a joint American Israeli attack against it.

Where do you come up with these posts from? You need to look for UN resolutions about the GENOCIDE of Australian Aborigines? Try Chapter 7 of Blood and Soil: A World History of Genocide and Extermination from Sparta to Darfur, by Ben Kiernan (Yale, 2007), on "genocidal violence" against them. Christmas Island was living proof that race hatred lives on in Australia ("It's a jail, a high-security jail, and it feels like asylum seekers are being treated as criminals") (NY Times, "Australia Puts Its Refugee Problem on a Remote Island, Behind Razor Wire," 4 Nov. 2009) CJ snaps into action and sets up camp on an Israeli web site where he can always be found.

smiled and bowed down to some of the worst human rights violaters. maybe he just does not care about human rights. if he does not, why would he care specifically about the palestinans. no, obama's ideology is opaque. yet, we see him going to a number of islamic countries. none are lands of friedom, and some are not reliable allies. yet, he is not ideologically bothered. he is not bothred by assads open rebuff of his outstreched hand. he is only bothered by the jewish state. when dealing with israel, all petty measures are used. so it would seem that obama has a personal dislike, a grudge, against israel.

Bibi also said Israel has the 3 billion dollars that Obama made some threats to w/ hold from Israel. Good, now, let the Pals say the same and Obama can go to hell and save a lot of our US tax payers $$$ or, pay it into our US treasury which Obama has broken.

and we Americans are NOT pleased w/Obama on so many levels. He lies through his teeth, CSPAN would televise all debates, Behind closed doors????????? Apologizing for America? Apologizing for bringing peace? His non divided attention to health care ( while 85% of all Americans are pleased w/ their coverage now?) and neglecting jobs which is primary. Face it, he's incompetent, has been 'lead' by Jeremiah wright who is an anti semite as is his 'brother' louis Farrakhan. We Americans tried change, unfortunately, this isn't what we had in mind. Obama's a goner in 2012. That's the 'change' we long for. Biden and Clinton will also go down in history as some of the worst appeasers' to muslim terror there is besides Obama and the Saudis who own him.

As you point out---I have much to be happy about. Netanyahu/Lieberman/ayalon/Yishai/kohn/valenstine and the list is growing. The "High stool" gang.

and most Americans realize they've been had by Obama the socialist who would take from the rich to give to the non working poor.( America's own version of "Robbing for the hood") His stance on Israel assures his curses continue through out his presidency. His poll numbers have gotten so bad, that even Obama realizes his term will most likely be one, just like Bush Sr. who did a much better job upon reflexion.

....but also a lot less cash !!:)

....60 years of "unwarranted U.S. influence", Israel would have on the one hand a lot more pride today, but on the other hand also a lot less land. Are you really sure that would be such a good deal...??? :)

Don't change courses you and your excellent coalition ! Wait for the storm to take its time. No storm go forever ! Live on what tomorrow brings & not let tomorrow live on you. No one can give you an honer to-day but tomorrow you will have all the honors ! Just by staying where you are and doing nothing ! That is how jews survived through the ages of darkness ! Obama is just a part of their history. Good Luck !

"..I am sure you`ll have no problem ceding your land back to the indigneous Australian Aborigines" Indeed, Solomon of California. " And until you do it, you are an illegal occupier of their land" I believe it was the BRITISH who colonized, Solomon of California. Unless you think I'm 300 years old "..and they should be allowed to randomly fire missiles at you" Indeed they should, Solomon of California. Were AUSTRALIA illegally occupying, illegally annexing, illegally settling. But you know, I'm unable to find any UNSC resolution... maybe you could help? Never the less, it's a good idea. When we hand back land to the Aboriginals, Israel will then hand back an equal amount of land that it has illegally acquired by war, illegally annexed, illegally settled. RIGHT? Already handed back 100's of times as much... Guess what... Aboriginals have LEASED quite a bit of it to the Australian Government. Their Government. I'm so glad you though of it though, Solomon of California.

BIBI already had a clash with a US president during his first reign, after the Rabin assassination. It was when he worned President Clinton not to press him as far as relations with the pals were concerned or he'll have problems with the influantial jewish loby.

....James Baker "(****the Jews !!), Obama was extremely polite with Israel till today. The problem is, that the ideology and the political views of the current governement in Israel, and the ones of the Obama admini- stration are worlds apart, and there is no way to just "smile" that fact away....

Obama, measured at the 1-year point after taking office, is by far the most deeply unpopular and distrusted US President in more than 100 years. His "honeymoon" with US voters is over, his failure to deliver on a single campaign commitment due to his own sleazy efforts to drag the US further to the Left than ever in its history - something the voters did NOT give Obama a franchise to do. Polls show that Israel is rather more popular with US voters than Obama is! Obama's hysterical attempt to freeze Jewish homebuilding in Jerusalem runs directly counter to a 1995 US law ordering him to regard Jerusalem as Israeli, to move the US embassy there as soon as practical. It is Obama who must choose betweeen his extremist ideology and US (voter) support. Democrat office seekers have been crashing and burning due to Obama's unpopularity, his party in a panic over a predicted disaster at the 2010 national and regional polls in November, due to rising public recognition that Obama lied to them.

... by his extended camp, which will praise him as a sort of folklore hero who declared that he does-not-see-the-emporer's-clothes... ... that he might have precipitated armegodden is another issue altogether, because in any case nobody will here to-tell-the-tale...

If you think the palestinians & specially in the state they are now are ready for any peace you need your head to be examined ! The truth is none of the arab countries wants the palestinians. The reason they are putting pressure on the U.S to find the palestinians a place-Israel where they can be left away from them. Obama can't see the wood from the trees. No part of this world can submit to any one or countries wish to dictate & use it to Obama needs to stop the palestinians killing each first & made them a creditable nation ! And not using this conflict to implement its U.S. strategy ! In the chaos where the palestinians are now, needs no country of their own. They need an honest advice. Obama is not doing them a service. He is trying to plant them in a dead soil that can't nourish a tree . Obama needs to stop the palestinians killing each other first ! If he can do that it might be worthy to talk of peace !

if he was he cant prove it !! spending $2million on legal fees so he doesnt have to show he was born in mombasa kenya ! that he is not a us citizen at all being british / kenyan / indonesian !!

... also be an 'armchair Zionist'... it's a result of the inordinately protracted diaspora... ... the irony is that it's davka the 'armchier Zionists' who tip-the-balance in one direction or another...

i never did, nor do, nor will i ever, under any circumstances, agree with a single word that you say. p.s. morris is a subject of the uk and an anglican who lives in the u.s.

Seems that the only people that have been serious about peace has been Israel. Real peace would hurt the pockets of the PA leadership. The PA should feel lucky the IDF hasn't forced them to take swimming lessons in the Med. Don't worry about a condemnation from Obama. He has condemned his own country also. There is only question left to be answered. Is it by design or incompetence?

If he does go to Washington then he leaves himself wide open to a bit o' Obama payback. It is almost certain that the Americans will drop a turd on his head as his plane touches down, so it may well be better to feign a tummy-upset and beg off going to AIPAC. He can't send Lieberman - who knows what that man will do at AIPAC! - but he could send Danny in his place. After all, it's Danny's turn to sit in the low couch...

all obama had to do was be polite and decent. handing out orders left and right only reenforced israel's mistrust--especially given the very warm and cordial meetings he had with muslims and their leaders. in the case of israel, obama missed both on substance and on style.

MV: "Do *not* conflate the Israeli-Palestinian issue with that of the Iranian threat against Israel!" Yet Israel itself insists on doing so by claiming that while the "Iranian threat" is allowed to hang over its head then it is constrained by what it can do viz the Pals. MV: "Do *not* disrespect Israel`s sovereignty!" Nobody but Israel recognizes "Israeli sovereignty" over this territory, Morris. So how can the USA "disrespect" sovereignty that it does not even recognize exists? MV: "Do *not* underestimate Israel`s determination to survive - by its own means alone if necessary!" Oh, please, please, please, do Morris. The USA in particular could do with that $3billion dollar drain on its bottom line, and Israel may just wake up to itself if it can't cling to the coat-tails of Uncle Sam. Zionists like you have such a curious mix of hubris and paranoia, don't they?

They will finally have to decide, whether they wanna join the camp of the "good guys" (mainstream Muslims, liberal Jews and pretty much the rest of the free world) or the "bad guys" (extremist Jews, Islamic Jihadists + a few Christian extremists in the U.S.)....

Obama has decided to let Iran produce nuclear weapons.This can be proven by two simple facts: 1.The US prevent Israel from attacking Iran's nuclear installations, which form a direct threat to Israel's national interest. 2.The Obama Administration has desisted from demanding significant sanctions against Iran.The Obama administration is now activelu persuing a policy, whereby Israel's national interest is put on the back-burner.Without dealing a serious blow to Iran, there cannot be any serious dialogue with the pals, since Iran has ordered hamas, Syria and hizbollah to counter any fruitful talks.Obama, rather naively and ineptly, tries to attack the Iranian problem, by trying to force Israel to make unilateral concessions to both the pals and the Syrians, hoping this will soothe the Iranians.This, obviously, will never work.Bibi is totally right in countering this absurd US move.

the most important massage in islam. Every land muslims conquered was to submit its people to the massage of muhammed; just like the soviet communists did after & during the 2nd world war ! Islam in the 7th century was a massage disguised as religion. Its greatest asset was to promise those who die in the name of islam will inherit their place in janna on the after life. Again, just as the priests in the middle ages sells tickets to grant the buyers atonement in heaven after they die ! Today Islam don't changed. The suicide bombers (killing yourself in the name of islam) is still there ! No muslim government issued any fatwa against those who send their children to murder themselves. "If they ask for peace go for it".Peace in this sura means '"if accepted islam as your religion". see sura 37-40 (The rangers)*Except* for god's sincere servants/ from them awaits a known prvision/fruits-and they high-honoured in gardens of bliss/upon couches,set face to face. An exclusive reward!

you are either an american or a zionist but not both...make alyiah morris

....where you would be today without that 60 years of "unwarranted US interference". I guess it's fair to assume,that on the one hand you would have a lot more pride today,but on the other hand also a lot less land...:)

You are mistaking the Bush theory of the Unitary Executive with Obama. If you don't understand that, Google is available. But basically, under the Bush theory, the President has all the powers of a medieval Norman king, pre-Magna Carta, and our Constitution is a loony anachronism. Thanks for the laugh, though.

You dont bite the hand that feeds you! My tax dollars have been supporting your slaughter long enough zionist oppressors. Bravo Hilary! I cant wait for Obama to flip out!

More and more of the more reasonable and moderate politicians in the U.S. are realizing, that the political interests of the United States and Israel are on a full scale collision course (despite Bidens nice words on his final speech in Tel Aviv). The U.S. knows very well, that as long as it allies itself with an Israel, that is seen by more and more governements around the world as extremely cheeky, nationalistic and irrational, there will be no way to stop further Islamic extremism, and that not only within the Arab world. There are only 2 choices for the U.S. admini- stration: To win the hearts and minds of mainstream Muslims, liberal Jews, and pretty much the whole rest of the world, or to win the hearts and minds of extremist Jews. One really doesn't have to be a genius in order to predict, which option Obamas advisers in the White House will prefer...

Says it all. "18, Morris Valentine, very well said" Kohn Keep it up Morris---your AIPAC membership card is on the way. Likud membership is next. Sad fellow.

Last I checked, Hawaii, where Obama was born, was still part of the United States. And if the election were held tomorrow, Obama probably would win. McCain is viewed by the tea-partyers and Birchers as the enemy of civilization. And Sarah Palin is viewed as almost as sane as Glenn Beck. The birthers and deathers are split, too.

to become PM waiting for Netanyahu to fall.

he is president of the united states, but he is not president of the world or of israel. obama had declared during the presidential campaign that he would not support israel if led by a likud government. obama has terrible difficulty grasping the limits of power. as such, he inspires much distrust and resentment.

Well spoken

"they will yet make a hero of Yishai..." really Esther? Quite an off the cuff prediction... As far as myself, I couldn't have predicted even the past Yishais' extraordinary statement ... As far as Bibi, I am curious whether he continues with his stupid lies...and breaks thoroughly whatever is left from our relation with the US.

you got which is not going to get off the ground

would he be elected tomorrow if new elections were held??

we are in a position to tell the zio-state what to do....you are in a position to do it or send back the welfare check....cheers!!

... but at the moment, there are not many from your camp... just as there are few peace-makers among the Jews at this time... maybe the naysayers in both camps don't realize that actually we are all in-the-same-boat... disaster for one will precipitate disaster for all...

First, Biden didn't know he had been insulted until someone told him. He's a nitwit, tried and true! IMHO, more of an embarassment as VP than either Quayle OR Gore!! Second, stupid is as stupid does, and Obama is very stupid for as smart as he is supposed to be! Otherwise, how can you explain the fact that Obama has done NOTHING about Iran, a rouge nation and our sworn enemy [that has an unhealthy love affair with THE BOMB] but castigates Israel, one of our closet and most loyal allies. Everyone knows that giving up this construction will result in absolutely NO PROGRESS in negotions with PLO or anyone else. They are not going to have any real negotiations with Israel . . . for crying out loud, they don't even recognize Israel's existence as a nation among nations! This is a little too obfiscated for the Chicago Whiz Kid to fully grasp. And it gives Biden a headache! But I could be wrong.

Obama said nothing about London or Britain. He was talking about areas occupied by military force since 1967, where the residents cannot vote for the legislature or even get building permits, based on their race and religion. I know you think no law should apply to Israel, especially if it is in a treaty signed by Israel. But Israel did sign the treaty. And there is no, "EXCEPT ISRAEL" clause. This is NOT about Jews. It is about Israelis. Living in London, one would think you would recognize that there is a difference. Not all Jews are Israelis and Not all Israelis are Jews. Just like in the UK, not all Brits are Saxon.

60 years of unwarranted usa interference in a sovereign state has brought about the present impasse 1

Israels political system has come to a total deadlock over the past 10 years, no new ideas, no new initiatives (apart from the ill- minded unilateral Gaza withdrawal). The only thing the world has seen from Israel was a feverish expansion of settlements into Arab land (West Bank, East Jerusalem). The U.S. administration would therefore be well advised to shake things up, and bring a little bit of (constructive) "mess" into the Jewish state, in order to awake the Israeli society from her total apathy and indifference....

This is the President of the United States, Mel. The man was elected by the people of the United States to represent US interests and set foreign policy. This is the Obama demonized by the Israeli and world's right wing since he was elected, even before he took office. This is the same POTUS that the Israeli PMO has been leaking anti-American stories about each week for over a year. His ancestry is half Irish and half Kenyan. He probably has a better tan than you do. And lots of Americans are tired of him being demonized.

This should make the upcoming AIPAC meeting in two weeks a fun and entertaining event. Bibi can show up and officially denounce the United States and see how many stand to cheer him. So far, the only Republican criticizing Obama is the man with the orange face, from Ohio.

Do you anything about Islam to say there is no message of peace in Islam? There is a verse which states the meaning of: IF THEY ASK FOR PEACE, GO FOR IT . . . Messenger Mohammed made so many peace treatys with jews in Makka; BANI QURAYDAH, BANI ANNADEER and BANI QEENEQA' . . . Don't judge book by its cover, so don't judge Islam by Osama bin Laden and oter extremists; what do you call settlers in palestine? Are they peace makers or seekers? They are extreme jews who are seeking stealing and killing? What do you call Adolf Hetler? Was he a peaceful man ? TERROR HAS NO RELIGEON . . . As peace has no religeon; peace is ahumanitarian need and desire.

since China has strong ties to Iran and has a vested interest in cooperation with them as they are both aligned against Sunni powers outside and within their country. They also have strong military and economic trade. As Israel and Iran are diametrically opposed to each other China would have to sacrifice one relationship, and I really don't see what Israel has more to offer them.

Time is running out for a 2 state solution that would be acceptable to the parties involved, including Israel's neighbors. Just like Saddam Hussein miscalculated America's intentions prior to the start of the war in 2003, Israel has seriously miscalculated the determination of the World in seeing an equitable and just resolution to the conflict. Lack of tangible progress in the peace process will not only undermine Abbas, but it would undermine US allies in the region, create further instability in the middle east, and make American diplomacy in the region much more difficult. Israel is not only jeapordizing its relationship with the United States by its actions, in truly is jeapordizing its own future well being.

Israel has next to nothing that China wants or needs that it can not either get internally or from dozens of other countries, so there is zero chance of any "special" relationship between China and Israel. The Chinese do not care one bit if Israel were to disappear and in fact if it helps China to be more powerful, they will gladly help Israel disappear. Israel has **ONLY** **ONE** possible supporter in the entire world, so throwing the US under the bus is NOT a viable strategy. Ari needs to do a lot of research on China so he understands just how much China does not care about Israel.

Obama said before the "insult", that if the current round of proximity talks were to fail, the US government would blame whoever was responsible for its failure. Israel truly gave the Palestinians a gift by declaring its desire to build more homes in East Jerusalem even before the talks began. Sheer arrogance led to Israel's announcement. While it is true that both sides of the political aisle in washington pander to AIPAC, it is obvious that there is a current trend in the Washington to finally resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict once and for all. When US allies in the region like Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, the UAE, Qatar as well as the EU and the Quartet have been raising the alarm of the deteriorating chances of peace in the region due to Israels unilateral actions, the US has no choice but to ensure that Israel does not jeapordize the future of the region by creating more "facts on the ground".

Mr Alvarez, who do you think you are? The Israeli government insulyed the VP of USA. The Israeli PM did not know that the decision to break his promise was to be made? if so he should resign. He is incompetent, evaisive and not trust worthy. to quote your words: Someone should tell HIM to respect heads of governments, especially your best friend

israel is digging it own grave, it is not a legitamate state, israeli leaders know that pretty good, no matter how long it lives, it is going to continue be a cancer state in the heart of the mideast. time is not in its favor. ei said before just wait when usa stop supporting it.

Bibi be strong ! Show them you care about nothing over & above the eternal security of what is left of us Jews ! The only people on earth worth to be eternal ! Haven't we jews seen worser times than today ! Obama can't decide our future !

Natanyahu is serious about the security of what is left of the jews ! The "feebleminded" is the one who thinks differently ! There is no massage of peace in islam. And that is the very heart of the problems in todays world today ! Only blind can't see that ! The Obama administration is one of those blinds & not only in the arab-israel conflict !

The Palestinians and Israelis have repeatedly embarrased Washington for years from Camp David II forwards. This is just another round - at least now we're getting serious about telling them to knock it off. Netanyahu may have met his match in Rahm Emanuel.

... they knew full well in advance what the stakes were... but they have staunch ideological supporters within the attackers camp who are expected to mitigate... ... as never before this shameless government coalition will stand-as-one... ... Bibi's false low-key, semi-apologetic stance is apparently taking-flack, but it's a small price for the unity of the attacked... ... they will yet make a hero of Yishai...

is this the muslim obama talking or the impartial obama?

Sooner rather than later the islamic-arab-iran front will turn the chaos of the middle east into a serious danger the world never seen before. The stability of the middle east depends on the existence of israel the only thing that made the arab united and ignoring their differences for the sake of their fight against a jewish state. "Show us you're serious about peace" is a question that must be asked the arab-palestinians-islamist & not israel ! There is no one single islamic country in the globe that is not at war with itself or others. Obama will regret to think that he can change the course of history in the middle east or perhaps anywhere ! Israel will take the dirt thrown on her and stay alive for eternity. The jewish future was born never to die !

This guy is filled with an arrogance that is unbelievable. If he weren't such a hypocrite, one might even believe him. As it is, he has paved the way for the first Islam strikes on America with radiological bombs. I am certain I will awaken one morning in the near future and this will be a reality. Is he an Islamist sympathizer? I was never a conspiracy theorist in my life, but reading his behavior, I am certain that the last thing he wishes for is the SURVIVAL of Israel. Anyone who reads his past history and associations will be floored at the numbers of anti-Israel/ associates this guy hung out with. I hope Netanyahu does not bend to Obama (who thinks he is some kind of emperor. In truth, he is a hollow man and I have never felt I knew what (if any) core values he has held. His rhetoric leaves me cold.

Thank you President Obama. You have my support 100%.

If what you say is true I am sure you'll have no problem ceding your land back to the indigneous Australian Aborigines. And until you do it, you are an illegal occupier of their land, and they should be allowed to randomly fire missiles at you.

Then it is more than welcome to cut off relations with us. The current US relationship with Israel has zero benefit for the American people, who are forced to pay taxes that subsidize Israel. We would be much better served by cutting relations with Israel and making friends with Arab countries in the region.

The notes from Miriam and Joseph demonstrate the myopia of Israel's conservatives. Such people are only able to engage in such chest-thumping because of the military and economic backing the U.S. has provided Israel for the last forty years. The latest announcent on the settlements deepens my wonder why such support continues. Israel offers no strategic or other benefit to the U.S. How long must this go on before the majority of the U.S. electorate, and those Israel citizens who truly wish for peace, wake up and do their duty, for their respective countries.

Should Benjamin Netanyahu send a note to President Obama demanding that no more Americans be allowed to live in Washington, which in future should be reserved for Islamic terrorists? Israel is the homeland of the JEWISH people and Jerusalem our eternal capital

Sure, Obama has a plan....until someone tells him to change his mind, or he realizes he underestimated the situation and changes his mind, or the polls go down and he changes his mind, or the Republicans get on his case and he changes his mind, or the Democrats get on his case and he changes his mind, or someone informs him his actions destabilize Israeli gov't and he changes his mind, or someone informs him his actions embolden Iran and he changes his mind. Nothing Obama thinks, says or tries to do has a shelf life of more than a few weeks at most. He's he biggest waffler in American political history and his recent confession that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was much more complicated than he realized was proof positive that he's nothing more than an empty suit with the intelligence of a Styrofoam cup.

America produces more weapons BY FAR than any other country. Continued wars are in the best interests of many of the most powerful people in the USA. Israel could be led down a rose petaled path to the worst war this planet has ever seen which would most certainly result in Israel's complete destruction, and these same "friends" of Israel will be laughing all the way to the bank. Israel is so enamored of it's own image in the mirror that it does not notice the ground turning to sand under their feet. Too bad more Hebrews did not learn the teachings of charity and equality that the Jew Jesus tried to teach them.

What Mr. Netanyahu doesn't seem to understand is that the American people do not have unlimited patience nor unlimited resources to forever kick down the road the can that is Israeli/Palestinian relationships. Further, Nethanyahu appears to be willing to repeat history with hopes that Mr. Obama will only be a one term president and the rightwing nut jobs will be back at the helm preaching their craziness. If I was the Isreali people I would not be betting my life on the recovery of rightwing nut-jobs. In my opinion It's better to dance with the devil you know than the nut job you wish had asked you to the dance.

"Rabid dog"... really!?? Israel is the only democratic nation in the area, all its citizens have rights, and all it's trying to do is survive amid neighbors who want it dead. Talk to some Israeli Arabs to get some perspective. Oh, and please tell me on what planet would a country throw open its borders to hostiles??

Obama and all of American politicans are not in a situation to tell the Israeli government what to do and what to say. Because all of them are nominated and elected by APIAC.

no one wants you....not even USA lately...and it gets worse

There is a text in Zach of Israel being a stone of stumbling and all the nations of the world being against her. This is the time that America is turning her back on Israel (so it seems). Let's see what big things are coming down the line in the near futue and see if this is indeed a fulfillment of this prophecy.

Show us you are serious about peace=====HOW MANY MORE CONCESSIONS WILL YOU GIVE THE ARABS. The cowardly groveling Bibi would succumb to-morrow but Yeshia and Lieberman hold the reigns. Tell the islamic anti semite to go to hell..When were these xo called by the media philistines asked the same question The american president of arabs is to scared to enquire.

Want to keep breaking international law with your so-called settlements? Want to keep pretending to want peace after a 40+ year military occupation? Fine. Then we'll just keep the billions we send to Israel right here in the USA. I've never seen what good it has done, other than help grow our deficit. Maybe without big brother USA to protect you, you'll actually try to get along with your neighbors.

We're trapped. There is not a single US President that can fix the Israelis-Palestinians crisis. Our Congress is ruled by special interests at the espense of our interests. Israel is just taking advantage of our political structure that fails to draw the line between lobbysm and corruption.

The US has always sided with the Arabs. They did so in 1948 by urging the Jews to not declare a state. the US embargoed any weapons when Israel was fighting for ot existence in'48 and '49. The US, EU and the UN took no action and said nothing against the "occupation" of the WB by Jordan and Gaza by Egypt. They took no action when Nasser oinsulted the west and confiscated the Suez Canal from Britain and France, the US's closest and dearest allies who fought shoulder to shoulder in WW-II, and blockaded Israeli shipping. The US under Eisenhower then forced Britain, France and Israel to return the Canal to the same Nasser who conproceded with his blockade. The US further did nothing after Nasser blockaded the Straits of Tiran. The Quartet acquiesed when Nasser ordered the UN out of Sinai and moved his armioes to the borders of Israel. The US remained "neutral in word and deed" as stated by the state department, during the 6 day war in 1967. France and Britain did so too!

Not surprising, this is the way Obama treats anyone who he is in disagreement with him, by talking down to them. He is such an embarrassment as the president of the US! Obama acts like he owns the whole world. God help us!

How the Jewish people ever reached the heights we did when we have such total idiots for leaders is in itself proof of the existence of God. Surely it is impossible that the Goyyim are so stupid! We are digging our own grave as in the days of the Zealots.

I would LOVE to call the shots on this one! I would LOVE to tell Obama and Clinton and all the other schmucks that they can pack sand. It's time for Israel to realize that Israel is the head and not the tail! There are hundreds of prophecies about her that have come true! The fact is, according to prophcy, that Israel will never be removed as a nation again - and that she will be victorious until Messiah comes to establish peace. So take that ball and run BB! Tell Obama and his stupid crew to walk home next time they visit.

Not so sure this supposed crisis wasn't engineered between US and Israel - it seems too facile for my liking, with the real motive being to dispel world criticism that the US always does what Israel tells it. If Obama was seriously concerned about Israel settlements in occupied E.Jerusalem and the W.Bank, then he only need retract the US veto of UNSCR242 - thus requiring Israel withdrawal from occupied territory.

I'm really shocked! You are asking what power does Mrs. Clinton have? Just to remind you, SHE GOT THE POWER WHICH ESTABLISHED ISRAEL AND DEFEND ISRAEL. SHE GOT THE POWER WHICH MAKES ISRAEL BEHAVE LIKE A SMALL SPOILED BABY.SHE GOT THE POWER WHICH ARMS ISRAEL WITH THE MOST ADVANCED WEAPONS ALL OVER. SHE GOT THE POWER WHICH MAKES ISRAEL KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL LAW. SHE GOT THE POWER OF VITO WHICH PROTECTS ISRAEL IN THE SECURITY COUNCIL. SHE GOT THE POWER WHICH MAKES THE ISRAELI INCOME USD 28000 PER CAPITA. SHE GOT THE POWER WHICH BACKS ISRAEL AND ITS EXISTENCE.

All nations must do what is in their own national interest. It is not in the interest of the United States to support Israeli moves that are irresonpsible and prevoke outrage around the world. I fully support President Obama and Secretary Clinton in rebuking the Prime Minister. U.S support is not unconditional.

Congrats Obama, you are still seeking peace from Netenyahu? What peace you are talking about while settlements are being built in ALQUDS? If you are seeking official peace between Israel and Arabs, you may achieve it, but POPULAR PEACE can't be achieved unless it is just and fair.

kick yishai out and make the haredi work and contribute to our society

Israel will stop building settlements provided the Arab League resettles the Arab refugees into their countries and gives them citizenship. For every month there is a freeze on Jewish settlement expansion the Arab League will resetle 100,000 Palestinian refugees. The quartet can momitor the process to make sure it takes place. UNWRA has the total number of refugees documented, they calim its in the millions,say 2.4, that would take 2 years. Long enough to complete the negotiations with the PA aided by its legal team consisting of the Quartet, the Arab League and Iran. US claims of impartiality and friendship is laughable. The kind of friend Israel needs is the kind Ossetians have, not the kind of friends the Georgians have. Friends don't evict friends from their homes, nor do they excuse, protect and subsidize murderers of their friends children. Not even the Mafia does, nor drug cartels. Only the self styled capitalist democracies practice such betrayal so selfrighteously

It's about time some US President showed Israel who's the boss and who's the client. We don't need them. They need us and they had better learn that. They would be nowhere without us. If they don't think so, let them find out.

Round Two: Obama and His Puppets, Clinton and Biden, Viciously Attack Israel All of sudden, after being an invalid for 12 months, Obama woke up with fresh energy. The first round was anti-Israel Manifesto in Cairo and ultimatum to freeze all life in Israel immediately. Obama with strong pro-Islamic views fortified by his connections to Chicago Black anti-Semites, maybe white anti-Semites too, suddenly went berserk attacking Bibi. The task before Obamistas-Islamistas is to create a political crisis in Israel, to bring Livni and issue ultimatums to Israel on the daily basis. Maybe these furious activity will justify Obama's Nobel Peace Bribe. Why he is so emboldened: probably stupid rich Jews gave lots of money to Obama's democrats, and Obama finally decided that better to have one term with accomplishments than two terms without. Israel should proclaim that it needs a six-months respite to analyze new situation in relations between the Jewish State and Obama's pro-Islamic State, Israel should also abolish the Quartet of Idiots , and retire Mitchell and his spies. Good luck, friend of Jarret, Halidi, Jimmy, Zbig, etc.

Keep on doing your own thing. I keep on praying for the "children of Israel". Signed by an Aussie, with a touch of Jewish blood.

thing off, ie. peace agreement off between Israel and the Palestinians, we'll all be guilty of having "The Blindside" to this complicated ordeal or simply at " The Last Station " in this Middle Eastern narrative. I don't know about you, but these Oscar nominations should have won the best picture award despite not raking in the millions as the others!

The world, as well as the US, is losing patience with Israel. The US won't continue to jeopardize itself any longer if Israel isn't willing to reconcile with the rest of the world rather than continuing to break international law.

Americans have short memories; uh, short attention scans.

the state of Israel keeps proving to the world that it is run by nothing more than a gang of morons.

I'm ashamed to be an American-Obama go back to Chicago

With all due respect Mr. President, this has gone far enough! You need to be addressing the Palestinians and the Hamas to show us they are serious about peace!!! You claim to be Christian. If so, surely you know God is on their side and He will be against any country or nation that is against Israel.

The American public doesn't want Obamacare. He doesn't care. He's trying to force it through anyway. The American people support Israel. He doesn't care about that either. By going against the will of the people so boldly in so many ways, he's guaranteeing himself a single term.

We here in the US, apologize to Bibi and the State of Israel, for the bumbling, fumbling, incompetent meddling of politicians that a portion of our misguided population voted for, and put into office. We promise to rectify that in the next elections. When Republicans are again in charge, our relations will improve. Meanwhile, bear with us until we can rid ourselves of fools and clowns, and accept our apology for any inconveniences.

This just another storm through which to sail safely on to harbor. If you panic the ship will run aground and be picked apart as mere salvage and any Jews left alive will be enslaved by these pirates. We don't have an honest broker or neutral mediator in the US. The US has always pushed on behalf of the Arabs, and it will continue to do so no matter what you offer. Eventually they will take it all. at best they will station troops on the borders making israel into a Guantanamo. The US and arabs are on the same side. Do not offer anything at all until you see what they want to give and take. Get them to make their offer, then, and only then do you counter, or simply walk away as it will be unacceptable. But, continue to build. Stay calm. Have patience. Israel is not Yugoslavia which the US bombed, because you can retaliate in kind. When the Nazi Catholic Croats and Muslims Bosniaks rampaged and murdered Slavs, the US still sided with them to punish Serbia for its retaliation.

it is dangerous to undrestimate israel's determination to survive. it is equally dangerous to underestimate israel's crucial strategic importance in the region and as such in the world. those who fail to understand israel's strategic importance, should look at a map of the middle east and imagine israel being replaced by an islamic terror state.

To label Obama as a far leftist would be inaccurate. When it comes to foreign policy, especially towards Israel, he would be considered a far right winger when you take account past US policy towards Israel. I didn't vote for him before, but he's earned my vote next go around. Israel would be foolish to gamble that he is a one-term president. If Israel strings this along for another 3 years and Obama will surely know this, you're in for a seriously rude awakening. In all honesty, most of us americans have had it with Israel and how it relates to our foreign policy in the region. We would have never been in Iraq and I'm not sure that 9/11 would have happened had we not blindly supported Israel for so many decades while the Pals suffered. It's my opinion we would not have been in Afghan because of this. It's time for Israel to lose it's entitlement attitude, spoiled mentality, and get with the program. Best start negotiating in good faith or we will IMPOSE a solution.

"I didn't do it!". Bibi says that he had no idea that his government was planning to build 1600 new homes for Jews in East Jerusalem. He never got the memo. He was out of the loop. Maybe his stooges were planning it as a surprise for him. Anyway, he seems to think it is a good idea. Is there any other nation in the world in which the leader claims an infamous ambush by his subordinate and yet makes no changes? Have a banana?

Obama, remember your campaign speech in J'lem about the undivided capital of Israel? What a piece of work.

'Why hasn`t Yishai tendered his resignation to Bibi and, if he hasn`t, why hasn`t Netanyahu sacked him?' Easy answer: because either way, the cabinet change would be seen (rightly) as the direct result of US interference in Israeli democracy. Mr Netanyahu (fool that he is for embarrassing his most vital ally), not Mr Obama, is responsible for the Israeli cabinet. And Mr Obama (fool that he is for embarrassing his most vital Mid East ally), needs to learn to handle diplomatic differences behind the scenes. That having been said, Israel needs to quit building beyond the Green Line, negociate final settlement issues with the Palestinians, and return the world's focus to the real problem of the times: a malevolent, totalitarian, nuclearising Iran. MV

Obama isn't surrounded by maniacal, murdrous muslims. He should keep his mouth shut, at the very least. Frankly, I think the Israelis should have attacked Iran a long time ago, and except for the dove policies of the US they would have. But that is our way; let our enemies grow and gain strength; allow them to inflict real damage before we fight back. The US should be working with Israel to crush the Muslim threat once and for all.

Why is it always Israel having to give up or in? The other side doesn't honor their commitments, only Israel keeps theirs. Israel is only building on their own land. God after all did give it to them. The sooner the muslims realize they follow a false god the better.

Do not believe in this fake security issue that the US will give Israel in time of need. Remember what the US did during WWII, sent us back to our death. The US will do only what it is in its interest. Thank G-d for the US military they will overrule obama. The US has too many troops in the area not to react when Israel will strike Iran. Do not trust the US governments word at all. What do you think the raid on the Rabbi's in New Jersey was? It was to choke us to stop funds from reaching Shas and other right wing Israeli parties. The Syrian community is living in fear now. The US Government has lists of names of donors. Israel is strong and must rely on the blessings it gets from Hashem and not be enslaved by outside forces. It is the same stories as always convert of die. Either become a Christian or Muslim or they will threaten us with no security or death. Do not believe in any of their protection. Hashem is our only protection.

Way to go Obama, Israel is not a peace loving country, they do everything possible to make sure peace doesn't happen, and forcing the US to spend billions on the Middle East. Finally the US has a president that will stand up to Israel, and stop being the Israeli whipping boy.

Obama is a dictator. Obama had made it clear during the 2008 campaign that he would not support an Israel led by Likud. Obama's 2008 speech to AIPAC in which he had pledged that Jerusalem would remain united under Israeli sovereignty was a lie. Obama's treatment of Israel and of Netanyahu since he became president has been a disgrace. Obama is seriously interfering with Israel's sovereignty. Obama will lose friends, will encourage enemies and will see the birth of a nuclear Iran.

I did not vote for Obama, but if there is one thing I respect about him is that he is quite smart and quietly calculating. Israel underestimated him and took him as a weak pushover. Believe me, you don't survive Chicago politics by rolling over easily. He just has a different way of getting things done his way. As for Jewish support for Obama's reelection, I'm sure Jstreet and many US jews support his actions towards Israel. They do not align their values and visions toe-to-toe with Israel and Obama knows it. Just a matter of time b4 AIPAC completely loses its voice. As for the comment about Israel ditching the US for the Chinese, well what do you really have to offer them that they can't get on their own? The Arabs can align the Chinese into their corner with China's insatiable need for fossil fuel in the next few decades. Don't kid yourselves.

They told Israel that America will let Iran obtain nuclear weapons; the 1600 apartments was Israel's response. This troika are enemies of the Jews...enemies. Oil is America's interest...oil...and as long as America controls the oil it makes no difference if Israel exists or not. Never trust America with you lives...Israel, are you listening ?

"So, the Obama administration has put Israel on notice. Now what?" Withdraw the US UNSC Veto "It is possible that the US could use economic and diplomatic pressure Or withdraw the US UNSC Veto "Israel will demand (rightly) that the Palestinians then come to the table and negotiate in good faith" And Israel will? "..there really are two Palestines and he can only speak on behalf of one of them" A) Govt parties cannot negotiate for or form states. (See Declaration of a Jewish State for a good example) http://tinyurl.com/y8ewves/sovereignty-state-non-state-entity/#declaringstatehood B) Look up Abbas's actual role in this "He might therefore be pressured by the US into signing a separate peace treaty for the W. Bank/E. Jerusalem and leave Gaza to negotiate on its own separately" Read UNSC Res 1860 /..Gaza Strip constitutes an integral part of the territory occupied in 1967 and will be a part of the Palestinian state //

If we look at Israels relations with America and with the entire international community, we will see that it is a steady trend downward with never a hint of improvement. Israel has no friends at all in the world due to its own stupid greed and oppressive actions. Some Israelis consider America a "friend". That relationship is not really friendship. It is a relationship in which Israel uses America in every way it can and gives nothing in return. With a situation like that, a crash is inevitable. We have yet to see how serious this current thing is, but it doesn't matter. If this is not the great crash, it will be along shortly.

If you want to speak about Law , Then the Mandate for Palestine is valid to this day and in perpetuity . Thus your post is either a regurgited misleading far left agenda or a confirmation of your submission to dhimmitude. Either case you're not free but slave to your ignorance .

Have you forgotten the warmongering Bush era, manipulating Zio-neocons and greedy bankers already? How much of the U.S. taxpayer's annual $3billion donation to Israel goes toward illegal settlement building?

And what pray tell is your advice to the Palestinian hordes?

Its is mind boggling how the US, along with its soon to be Hamas and Hezbollah allies, ie, - the ones who killed over 300 Americans, are more concerned about the statement of Israel to build 1600 homes, versus the rocket which was shot from Gaza into Israel this week. Wonder what the US would do if Canada started lobbying rockets in the USA. Bottom line, USA, feel horrible you were so badly insulted, perhaps Israel should just hand everything over the Palistians and while they about, they should give some nuclear bombs to Iran. I am sure then we wont hurt Clintons and Bidens little feelings. Wonder what the USA will do when China wants to wipe USA off the face of the earth. Children, FOCUS ON THE IMPORTANT ISSUES, get to the negotiations table and short this out - and stop IRAN now.

He only seems to have problems standing up to the Saudis.

Amazing!!!

Who said the lands are Palestinian? They are the subject of negotiation.

It's time for Netanyahu to tell Washington that Israel will pull out of the West Bank when the U.S. returns Mexico!

Stop all aid to Palestinians until they stop incitement, terror, corruption and lies. Stop all aid to Palestinians until they abandon their absolutist demands. As to pitbulls, what do you call the alleged "government" in Gaza?

Jerusalem is israel's eternal capital. If only obama was this tough on Iran.

"The world has to to get this straight." The world UN Members 192 - Israel is only 1 of them. "Jerusalem is,was and will be our eternal capital forever and we will built anywhere we want in our city." It was ILLEGALLY annexed, in "territory occupied" according to the UNSC http://wp.me/PDB7k-Y#annexation "What Chutzpa he has! " Uh? Who has Chutzpa ?

This is becoming serious for the future of the jew State. Any previous commitments, obligations and agreements with that State may conceivably be set asunder? Back to square one? It is doubtful that APAIC or much more importantly the many jew State supporters in Congress will have a say in how this matter is to be handled. Obama and his Administration firmly believe the Vice President of the one and only country that is a true friend of that State has been thoroughly embarrassed and humiliated. There will be a heavy price to be paid for what is considered to be a humongous insult. Why do I feel that the realization of a contiguous fully sovereign palestinian State with East Jerusalem as its capital has just taken one giant step forward.

I bless my country that is the USA. You may curse, I do not care a hoot.

So, the Obama administration has put Israel on notice. Now what? It is possible that the US could use economic and diplomatic pressure (like withholding loan guarantees like the Bush Sr. administration) and force Israel into a complete settlement building freeze in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Then what? Israel will demand (rightly) that the Palestinians then come to the table and negotiate in good faith. But, there are currently two separate, distinct and non-interacting governments ruling the Palestinians. The could be the worst thing that's ever happened to President Abbas. He may be forced into admitting that there really are two Palestines and he can only speak on behalf of one of them. He might therefore be pressured by the US into signing a separate peace treaty for the W. Bank/E. Jerusalem and leave Gaza to negotiate on its own separately. Just a though. I don't really see any of that happening though.

"The president -- need for Jewish re-election support on the other." US population 307,006,550 Jewish 6,155,000 - (MV reveals - Jews do control the US?) "..front-line defence of American and Western interests..the intelligence warning signals heading his way, all come from Israel. " (MV reveals - Jews protect the US & the West, gave us false information on Iraq?) Maybe MV just reveals his fantasies. Or that it all has something to do with the door with the shrillest squeeeeeek

Against the 'peace process' as viewed by the far left Obama Administration . When speaking , Bibi should view the Obama Administration as the instigating J.Street, or as the underminer NIF ... The speech should be viewed as a disagreement with the far left Obama Administration . A direct confrontation by Bibi against the Far Left Obama Administration submission to dhimmitude must happen only behind closed doors . Remember , it was the $11M Hurt Locker that won the most Oscars in spite that Avatar invested $500M . Nationalism inspired by Hurt Locker won over the instigating , mileading Far Left globalist Avatar agenda .

Now there's an oxymoron.

Good.....
