Berkley and Engel have it right. I don't trust Hillary though. Not one red cent of aid, unless all of these conditions are met by all palestianians including Hamas, period. Hamas would steal the aid the others get without pre-set conditions on all of them. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 NO NUKES FOR TALIBAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Let Asst. Sec. of State Rose Gotemoeller live in Southern Israel by the Gaza Strip and see how fast she changes her mind about Israel signing on the NPT. Remind her that Iran has said they will PUSH Israel into the Sea-with Death to America next. Good democracies cannot be without the latest in modern weaponry. Nukes are here. Bad governments have them. We must help Israel to stay on top, no other country is so threatened as Israel is! 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Absolutely excellant! Good to see Ron! Am Yisrael Chai! 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Rabbi Fisher you spoke well, as always. The true voice of reason in this discussion. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I find these anti-semites disgusting. How dare they claim to be Christians. It is written: "I will bless those who bless (Israel, Jews) and curse those that curse you" G_d. Torah verse. Real Christians love Jews and Israel. And they support her, at home and abroad. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 If the Pope worked hard to save the Jews, then why are they hiding the proof? I smell a rat. A BIG RAT!!! 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Clearly, they are not living in the real world. There is no such thing as a peaceful terrotist group named Hamas. How do people like this get into such positions of power is beyond me. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Stick to your guns Bibi! 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 There must not be a nuclear Iran. Obviously, Clinton is oblivious to the true nature of terrorist organizations. Recognizing them without requiring 1) acknowledgement of the State of Israel first, and 2) making them agree to stop all terrorist actions, is essential. These should be requirements before negotiations are taken. Hillary does not represent my family. Write your senators, and other members of congress, especially foreign relations committee. Create a petition online that people can sign supporting Israel, and her right to defend herself-no deals with terrorists. Israel cannot be divided. Create an outreach to Christians to inform, educate, instruct on how to help the State of Israel, by petitioning the U.S. government. Seek to endorse secular US citizens also. Teach them how to voice their concerns over nuclear Iran. They have children too, and it is well within their interests to become politically active. The problem is they just don't know how, they barely understand how their own government works. Start grass roots efforts. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Someone please take this lunatic out! 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I. Cotler stated well done. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Obama is out of his mind believing you can make peace with terrorists groups. Israel must say no to the 2 state so-called "solution". As an American citizen I can say Obama does not represent me or my family. Israel must defend herself. Do not bow to the U.S. pressure. Take out Iranian nuclear sites and let them eat oil-economic sanctions must be applied. No more Amadajine lunacy. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 NO soft diplomacy with Iran. Strike hard, strike fast, strike now. NO NUKES IN IRAN. Destroy the Iranian Menace. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Obama is a confused man. His moslem/christian roots keep him that way. American was founded on the Jewish scriptures, jewish thought, wisdom, poetry, etc. The principles of freedom, hard work, and the 10 commandments are all Jewish ideals. Our coins say In G-d we trust-(the G-d of Israel that is) the only living G-d. Obama is a man still trying to connect with his Moslem father who left him, though the channel of peace with his moslem brothers. One one hand, he does something, then (?wishy-washy?) or purposely does the opposite. The ultimate politician. When he was campaigning, the media made him a type of hollywood star. Some acted like he was the messiah. But you can tell by his inaugural address, his confusion. A nation of christians and moslem's? Just because those are HIS roots doesn't make them America's. For a guy who pronouces his words well and strings together sentences that may sound intelligent doesn't mean he is. The man double-speaks. His decisions reflect the same thing. Pitiful, the president doesn't understand the very foundation of our country. He appealed to the young and uninformed to vote, with heavy donations from Oprah Winfrey, etc. Historically, older people always vote in U.S. elections. You can make your lips say anything. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I do not think a revised document is going to change attitudes or agendas. If Obama decides his envoys will attend the conference-that will make a blatant statement against Israel. Combined with his "2 state solution on dividing the state of Israel-he will prove his true colors. If he does this, and cannot fix the American economy-I cannot see his re-election, the people of the U.S. will turn against him. All Bibi has to do is bide time. A well-spoken republican, (about Obama's age) is already preparing for the next presidential election. He wil give Obama a real competitor. Stay-tuned. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Deport Hamas back to Jordan. If they are so unhappy in a democracy-send them back home to the "official land of the palestianians. " I resent Obama administration foreign policy towards Israel. He is not Mashiach, and he cannot bring peace to the world. If he was smart he would deport Islamic elements in the U.S. too, being they populate more than any other group in attempt to overthrow states. Ottomen empire stikes again.. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 President Obama lacks understanding of the Torah=instructions for living. Is also part of the Christian Holy Scriptures. Without a good understanding of the judaic roots of christianity, this is where he fails to respect and keep G-d's instuctions/commandments. Like many, Obama remains confused. You can fool some of the people, some of the time-but you cannot fool all of the people, all of the time. After Obama's confusion of his "roots" , a bad pastor, 2 muslim step-fathers-he lacks knowledge of the scripture and what it really means. He should study Hebrew and Greek from a rabbi. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 As an American citizen, I feel that President Obama would be siding agaist Israel if the U.S. decides to attend Durban 2. Obama claims to be a christian. Real christians know that they are commanded by G-d to bless Israel or they will be cursed. The Torah states plainly that G-d will "Bless those who Bless Israel, and curse those who don't". Also, G-d commands that the land should not be divided (Israel). Jerusalem must remain the Jewish Capital of Israel. To go against that is to go agaist G-d. I believe Hillary considers herself to be a "real christian too". The REAL christians stand with Israel. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Also, excuse me-but where where you when the world was created? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Marty how do you live? Where is your hope? Are you an atheist? Fairy tales? Archeology is bearing out the historical truth of the scriptures. Get a real education. You are so typical. Find out for yourself the scientific probability of the prophets sayings that came true. Historical facts. Study to show thyself approved. A real jew studies, before he makes up his mind. I bet you haven't even read the scriptures. Ignorance like yours is the real folly of the world. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Didn't Yosef marry an egyptian? Boaz married Rut. I guess their wives wouldn't be invited to a seder either. Even King David was kin to Rut. Why slap a gift horse in the face? Anything that helps others, especially christians, understand their Jewish roots (and the authors of all the scriptures are jewish-it's jewish law, jewish thought, jewish wisdom, poetry, history, etcl) cannot be bad. Don't you want to combate anti-semitism, through education-a totally jewish thing to do? What do you want? Those christians could become valuable allies of Yisrael, and the Jewish people-if eduacated. What's wrong with a bit more support? Change those peoples minds so they won't support radical Islam, and be sympathizers anymore. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Could be treated as a hate crime? An isolated incident? What is the police captains name? What planet is he from? What would he say the Fort Lauderdale muslim protest was about on Dec. 30, 2008? They got away with all manner of inciting hate crimes, I don't consider it freedom of speech either. Death to Jews, go back to the ovens, and death to American? They should deport all of those people, lets see how much they enjoy theirselves back home under Islamic law. I think this is an excellant remedy. If they hate the US. and Jews and Christians so much-they do not deserve to live here. Send then home. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Now why am I not surprized? Yemen is a muslim country. If there are not big investment issues, no government pays much attention to it, except Israel, who keeps an eye of everything. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Hey, Iran has been crazy since the Shah of Iran left and died. When Iran wants to export terrorism, threaten to send Israel into the Sea and destroy the US, is working on an nuclear bomb for Israel in order to bring in their Muslim messiah-It is TIME FOR ACTION NOW!!! VoxApox you are sadly confused and a Iranian sympathizer. We could find a way to get the jews out of Iran. Kiumars Hekmat you don't get it, and you are a selfish selfserving ignorant person. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Now that the court finallly decided to make Iran pay-how will the US enforce payment? Perhaps Iran could have to eat 25million dollars worth of oil -(and I mean literally stave them). Sound to harsh? They want to raise oil prices, support hamas and other terrorist groups-why not refuse to sell them food and not allow anyone else too? See how fast they get hungry and lower oil prices. You can't eat oil. And everytime they try to export terrorism, and weapons to Gaza, cut them off at the bite. Sound too simple? Then give another idea. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I agree Leland. Might be a good idea Tamar. Hotel Hamas sounds pretty nice. Why not make them work for food and lodging too? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Time for Bibi and Barak to clean Hama's house. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 To revoke Hitler's citizenship is wrong. The German's elected and supported his regime. They own him. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 A ten day suspension??? A whole 10-days??? Wow, I can barely contain myself. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 A big thank you to "whomever" ordered this mission! 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I believe the crucial issue is how much time can we allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons? Not much is my estimation. Iran has defiantly ignored all sanctions, fooled past inspectors, and has continued to pursue her ambitions for dominance in the Middle East-and beyond. When she starts chanting "We're going to push Israel into the Sea" and "Death to the U.S." I think it's more dangerous to deal with a nuclear Iran, than to do it now. If the U.S. would act quickly, I feel it would send a clear message of warning to others with similar ambitions. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 A Rabbi once said "if you have 3 Jews in a discussion, you will have 5 opinions". Marc: Christians, even most "right-wing" ones know that the Messiah Yeshua(Jesus in Greek) do not want or need Israel to blow up in order for the Messiah Yeshua to return as King and High Priest to Israel and the whole earth. They believe in the "rapture of the Church-consisting of jews and gentiles who believe in Messiah Yeshua. The rapture is found in the newer testament and states that at the sound of the shofar, in the twinkle of an eye, as lightening strikes from east to west, the L_rd will snatch away his sheep, those still alive in their bodies, and those which are dead, shall be "caught up" to be forever with the L_rd. The prophecies found in the Tanakh describe the general timing of this event. No where is there ever a destruction of Israel to bring in the Messiah Yeshua. According to the Holy Scriptures, Israel in the latter days shall become the "burdensome stone" which means that all of her enemies will not be sucessful in trying to destroy her. Messianic Jews and Christians believe this. Christians are warned by G_d that they must bless the Jews in order to be blessed. If they do not bless Israel and the chosen people they will be "cursed according to G_D. True, there are anti-semetic people who "call themselves Christians" but that is their sheer ignorance, lack of knowledge, and usually a product of bad teaching. Those who read the scriptures know this. If you are referring to mainstream right-winged Christians, their understanding is based on the rapture-and never the destruction of Israel. I would not be inclined to put them altogether in a clump. Most evangelical christians which you include in the far-right-are large supporters of Israel, as they are commanded to according to the scriptures. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Jews and Christians both believe in the G_D of Israel. Muslims have a false god named Allah, and a false prophet named Muhammad. Jews and Christians read the Jewish Scriptures(at least some do). I do not see how this can work. The holy Koran tells it's followers: do not take a jew or a christian for your friend. Jews are pigs, and Christians are dogs. It is okay to lie to the infidels-that is everyone who is not a muslim. They think that their god, the only god, can only hear prayers in Arabic. So their god must have a learning deficiency. Their goal is to create a world wide muslim religious order ruled by their barbaric religious law of Sharia. So what can be the fruits of this endeavor because it is beyond me. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Of course Jordon wants a two-state "solution" as well as Obama. The King really would enjoy seeing his exports now called palestinians achieve recognized state status, this would be a really good way to sanction a terrorist government. That would open the door for more state sponsors of terrorism and global jihad would really flourish. The next step would be to make the world conform to the law of Sharia, or die. In this case, two-heads are not better than one. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I watched the debate tonight, and I agree with Elliot Abrams and Joshua Muravchik. When Iran has claimed she will "push Israel into the sea" and "destroy the U.S." that is an imminent threat of danger and the U.S. should strike Iran, before she acquires nuclear weapons. This will send a clear message to all other Arab nations bent on taking over the world with islamic jihadists, state sponsered terrorism, and forcing all non-moslems to convert to Islam and the law of Sharia, or die. We need to take action now. It is less dangerous than waiting for Iran to have nuclear weapons. We don't need to risk waiting like we did in WWII, when it was hard to contain and destroy the axis powers. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Leslie Susser brings balance to a much debated issue. I personally detest Solana. The British are scarred because they have allowed to many muslims to emigrate there-as the rest of the E.U.made this huge mistake. The E.U. is still anti-semetic, anti-israeli. and envisions itself as the next world power. Russia also wants this title. So does Iran, as the world's greatest exporter of terrorism. When Iran threatens to push Israel into the Sea, and Destroy the U.S-in light of the fact they are very close to a nuclear capability, I believe it is in the U.S. best interests, as well as Israel's for the U.S. to strike hard, strike fast, and send a clear message to Iran, and all other Arab ambitions to rule the world by means of global jihad and the law of Sharia. This will show them that we are not afraid, we will take action, and we mean business. We cannot afford to let them have nuclear capabilities-we will not wait for that to occur. If the Obama administration waits long enough, Iran will have nuclear weapons. We cannot afford to wait. U.S. estimates of Iran's acquirement of nukes is closer than they realize. Iran has not complied with any santions whatsoever. We must take action before Iran has gained nuclear weapons. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 This guy should be charged with the full intention to terrorize Jewish citizens, the threat should be perceived as bad as 9/11. He should lose his freedom forever because of this. Trying to induce fear in innocent citizens should be a capital crime. If he did that on an airline they would lock him up and I don't see any difference between the intentions. The U.S. given the solid facts and proof of his threats should not treat him lightly. Throw the book at these guys. And don't let them out to repeat their crimes, it is too dangerous. Terrorists cannot be allowed to be free, even those who make threats- because given the chance they may be successful in achieving their goal the next time. Freeing the prisoners of Guantanamo was a HUGE mistake. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 This should have never happened in the first place. It is an old untrue sterotype of the Jewish people, and I'm glad it is being corrected. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Who the hell believes anything the UN says anymore? Frankly, I'm feed up with this worthless organization and it pisses me off that my tax dollars are spent on it. I find it very difficult to imagine an Israeli soldier doing that. Next to impossible, they don't use human sheilds, because they are true warriors-not cowards like the palestinians. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I am tired of the spread of Islam. Islam is not a religion of peace. Since it's creation in the 6th century C.E., the sole goal is to convert or murder the infidels-that is, anyone who is not a muslim and spread the "religious law of Sharia" to the entire world. History proves this is true, and it is still just as true today. The U.S. is letting them hide under the guise of "religious freedom". They use the U.S. provisions in the constitution and U.S. law to carry out their "real intentions", which is to undermine every state they can, any way they can. Whether it be jihadist training camps, raising funds for terroristist activities, lying, cheating, stealing, "eduacating and advocating their peaceful religion", controling the media, gaining political power, actively converting others etc., all of which is perfectly fine to do to "infidels"--according to their holy books the Koran, and the Haddith-But under their own religious law system they could get their hand cut off for stealing. The American people suffer from a lack of knowledge to the true nature of Islam and the global threat is really on. Our Govn't is either sympathic to Islam or blatantly oblivious to what is happening in America. Much less understanding what it would be like to live surrounded by these muslim countries, such as Israel must. It is simply foolhardy to think we can "talk" to them, reason with them, trust them. Apparently, many jewish people believe the U.S. can help the so called "peace process", as well as goyim . That is sheer madness. When someone threatens to Push you into the Sea-"do you say we'll talk about it? let me think about it? Call you tomorrow? If Israel is to survive, Israel must be FOR Israel-and not against herself. The U.S. should back her up too. A house divided against itself cannot stand. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Obama is the one who needs a reality check. Maybe he would like to divide the U.S. in half. One side for his christian grandparents and the other for his Moslem father and step-father. Can you see the beauty of it? He could be the President of 1/2 the U.S. and visit his muslim brothers on the Sharia side of the land...until they bomb him out of the White House-and condemn him to a beheading as a traitor to "his faith"- (once a muslim, always a muslim). Then it's "Kill all the Infidels" and no more U.S. of America--It will be the new "U.S. of the Western Muslim Brotherhood". Sorry Hillary, they won't let a woman hold office in the new nation.You'll be lucky if they only cut your tongue out, repeatedly rape and torture your daughter, and give Bill a few dozen teenage virgins! As for George Mitchell, a public hanging after they cut his hands and feet off very slowly. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 michael Disend, Amen. There is a saying in the US from veterans of war: "Kill the basterds, let G_D sort it out later." When persians(good ole' babylonians again), and their Arab(ole' ottoman empire)brothers want to push Israel into the Sea-YOU FIGHT AND WIN!!! You don't make concessions, that has never worked. I think Bibi is cagey, and alot smarter than some people give him credit for. The E.U. is simply-the revised Roman Empire. Islam is trying to take over the entire world-Sharia for everyone. Islam is gaining strongholds in the U.S. too. The day Israel divides the land is the day we'll see hell on earth. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Tamar: Will you ever give it a break? I think the US Govn't foreign policy stance on Israel is wrong. The Torah warns the people of Israel and other so called "peace makers" not to give away the land the L-rd gave to her. When wrong-headed US Govn't policies call for a division of the land-they are not following G-d's word. I know these US Govn't people "call theirselves christians"-The real Christians side with Israel-and anytime they stand up for Israel and pressure their Govn't can't be bad. It's not like Israel couldn't use some more supporters. You don't have to like them, but on this issue why not embrace their help? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Corporate American makes me sick, and I am an American citizen. Tamar and Leland, you don't realize that the majority of U.S. citizens are totally unaware of this information. U.S. citizens volunteered for military service against the Germans in WW1 and WW2. They gave their very lives for the ideal of freedom and democracy. Do you think it right to penalize these average goyim? They have lost ancestors, and they pass down stories to each generation. They don't know about the complicity or eugenics stuff. The U.S. govn't and "the people" are 2 different things, just as Rich Corporate America vs. everybody else. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Miriam where is your head? Have you been brainwashed or are you that naive? Please check out HonestReporting.com Perhaps you will re-evaluate your position. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 So it's in vogue to recognize terrorist groups as heads of states now? I thought the US was in a "WAR ON TERRORISM"? The US is setting a bad precedent for the world. Britian already has a large muslim population it is finding hard to control. So why are the British to engage in these fruitless talks? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Deported terrorist to Sudan? I guess he can join his brother Muslims now and help kill the Christians. Or perhaps he may prefer to join a terrorist training camp somewhere else. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Clear concise article stating the facts. US foreign policy is screwed up. Why would the US engage a major state-sponsered terrorist country, Iran-to help Afganistan, another terrorist plagued country by al-queda and others, in beyond belief. Our US govn't foreign policies need an overhaul. Wasted time, effort, and money. The UN is worthless, as so many GO's and NGO's. And the US govn't says Israel is its friend? What kind of friend? When will the US realize that the whole world wants to destroy Israel AND the US??? Iran is OUR ENEMY TOO!! Would you ask someone who wants to murder you to dinner and a movie? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Only nine HoR's? I thnk the entire congress should have Freeman investigated, this guy should not have his position. I believe he has compromised hisself accepting gifts and money from rich Saudi Arabian govn't officials. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Who believes the French? Remember the Dreyfuss affair? I believe the French do not like anybody but the French. Look at how their country has been overtaken by Muslims. What does PM Francois Fillion mean when he says "France will not attend Durban 2 if necessary? IF NECESSARY??? Do you sense anti-semitism here??? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Why would anyone believe in any agreement with Syria, who sponsers terrorists activities? The US aka "The Great Satan", should give Israel its full support, work for her and not against her. Has the US forgotton 9/11? I wouldn't trust Syria if my life depended on it. You cannot believe anything these terrorist state supporters say. I'm no Einstein, but even I can figure out that much. No more US dollars to the useless UN. No money to terrorists, or their suporters. You can't have it both ways. I for one am sick of useless US foreign policy concerning Israel- and our leaders think they are real Christians-a real Christian's duty is to support Israel, not go against her. You don't make deals with Israel's enemies. Every time the US does, something bad happens in the US and our people suffer for it. Money and Power corrupt without knowledge. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 You don't trust communists. Russia sells materials to Iran for nuclear bombs. And the U.S. wants to make deals with her? That's crazy in my opinion. Russia hates Jews as much as Iran, etc. Russia still wants to be a world power too. The U.N. is useless. Who belives in their "Inspections"? Same old Russia-beware. Why does the US constantly interfere with Israel? Don't they have better things to do like Darfur or Somalia? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 A two-state "solution' will never work. To hell with the nations, they don't understand the covenants G_d made with Israel, nor the fact that land for peace does not work. Remember Arafat? He was offered everything and turned it down. You do not make deals with terrorists-Hamas, PLO, Hizballah, etc., only want to push the Jews into the sea. Screw Hillary Clinton, The E.U., etc. They don't get it. Netanyahu is blessed by G_d-it doesn't get any better than that. Stand by your guns BiBi!!! 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 $900 Million? I thought the US had a trillion dollar deficit? How does one spend money they don't have? Is the US writing bad checks or borrowing the money from foreign creditors? How can the US avoid bankruptcy at this rate? Where does the money come from in the new Obama Govn't Accountability Program for US taxpayers to "see" how their tax dollars are being spent? I think I smell a rat. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Navi Pillay is either: A) crazy or B) an anti-semetic, Jew hating, anti-Israeli, propagandist. How do these kind of people get positions(jobs) like her? Would someone explain that to me? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 According to the Koran, Hadith, and Sharia Religious Law of Islam, this towel head is simply following his Muslim religion/law. Now the Yemen court finds him crazy? Then I guess by this ruling, all Muslim believers must be crazy too. Has a precedent been set? Or did I miss something? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 In 1492, Spain expelled all of its law abiding Jews, stole all their property, money, everything. Spain is an anti-semetic, Jew hating, Israel hating country. Historically, the song remains the same. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 There will never be a "two" state Israel. Same old US failed foreign policy. Why would anyone in their right mind want to deal with the terrorist group "Hamas' as a legitimate political entity is beyond me. The US should support the State of Israel, a democracy-NOT WORK AGAINST HER! 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I think everyone would like to know the name of that judge. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 You "rock" You "rock " Ron!!! Love the article! 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Have any of you ever read the Koran/Quran? Or the Hadith? Until you do, please reserve your comments. Read them, and then tell me what kind of religion Islam is. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 0063: Good idea, if it would work. Yasser Arafat sure did blow the money on his wife in France. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Wow, Does George Mitchell get frequent flyer miles? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Here we go again, same old US foreign policy between Israel and the Palestinians. Hasn't worked before. Why would it work now? You cannot work with Hamas, it is a terrorist group-not a democracy. Same for the PLO, and Hezbollah, and Iran, Syria, etc. Same old crew in Obama's "new administration". Why does the US govn't think it knows what's best for Israel? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Enough of this Chavez.. Somebody needs to take this guy out. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Why would anyone believe Iran or Syria? And who believes in the U.N. anymore? What a waste of time and money. We need a Bibi Netanyahu for President, and Avi Lipkin for Secretary of Defense.. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Why would anyone believe what Iran or Syria says? And who believes in the U.N. anymore? What a waste of time and money. The U.S. needs a Bibi Netanyahu for President. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 The so-called protest at NYU was "acting as a terrorist group" with a "list of demands". This is not the acceptable format for complaints or changes to NYU policies. All of the students involved-the "terrorists" should be expelled immediately without hesitation-and without opportunity to enroll in any program, school, or university in the U.S. If they have green cards they should be revoked. They should be denied the right to become a U.S. citizen. If they are a U.S. citizen, they should be tried in a court of law. 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 Chas Freeman is a slimy character that must be investigated. Jeffery Goldberg and Rob Satloff are on to him. How dare Freeman ask the victims of 9/11 to focuss on WHAT THEY DID TO DESERVE IT!!! Maybe we should ask Chas Freeman what he did when rubbing shoulders with the RICH Saudi Arabian Govn't as ambassador from the U.S.?!!! 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 The U.S. should not be playing "footsies" with the U.N. When the U.N. recognizes and gives platforms to known state-sponsors of terrorism such as Iran,Libya,and a host of other Arab, Asian, and African countries it's time to DROP OUT of the U.N. The U.N. has become a "worthless" organization, largely funded with U.S. citizen tax dollars. Just another example of wasteful U.S. Govn't spending. Why won't the U.S. take the lead and refuse to negotiate with known state sponsers of terrorism? 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00 I believe FDD President Clifford May hit the nail on the head. All this conference will do is promote anti-Israeli, anti-jewish hatred and racism and seek to justify terrorism. Those countries that choose not to pull out will only serve to increase terrorism, and prove to terrorists sponsored countries that they have intimadated them into submission. Bad things happen when good people do nothing. Israel has the right to defend herself. The U.S. has bombs and so does Israel, Pehaps we should both strike first-and worry about it later! 2012-02-09T;22:54:00-05:00
