    Why don’t you mention whether the gazan’s want peace, fool!
    Answer, because they’ll spit in your face, ‘di naar vos di bist’.

    There is a reason the peace camp no longer exists. We don’t need your advice, Mr. President. You are not the president of Israel.

    Might be the case,

    It seems to me that (a) “I want peace, but you can never have peace with Arabs” is awfully close to (b) I’m “abandoning” any bid for peace.

    I think we need to be honest, at least to ourselves, when we start parsing the verbiage of those espousing the first position…no less than we are militant in demanding that others see the real meaning of “I’m not Anitisemitic, I’m anti-Zionist.” A smoke screen is a smoke screen.

    Another absolutely ridiculous comment by our government’s chief executive… after all, who kidnapped and killed 3 teenagers, Hy”d? Who has been shooting thousands of rockets into the other side’s territory for *years*? Who started the recent war? Mr. Obama, I’ll give you a hint… it’s not the Israelis.

    I think it is safe to say that there is not any country in the world more interested in peace than Israel. Peace must also come with security. You have to feel safe walking down your street, safe having your teenagers come home from school, safe so you can come and go and attend to your business daily.

    Egypt and Jordan did in fact sign a peace treaty with Israel and they were once arch enemies. Let’ hope that H”KBH has peace in mind for all of us this coming year. With gezint and friyden. Shana Tova

    Wish there were more American Jews who would abandon Obama.

    Every calm down. President Ovomit will be a civilian in 2 years and 37 days.
    He is currently irrelevant as the most powerful man in the world. Thats quite a feat to pull off.

    We’ve got a scoundrel in the White House who hates Jews even more than he hates his own country. Two more years.

    Mr. President – why don’t you sit down with ISIS and talk peace with them?
