If Obama Is Serious

We all better hope that the United States always supports the Jews. For more reasons than I have time to explain.

God is behind Israel and I pitty the U.S. if we ever stop backing them.

Israel is fight for its

Our blind support for Israel will only continue to jeopardize our security here at home, where it really matters.
Israel an its supporters can go their and continue their endless wars if it choses to, just keep America out of it!
I hope that Obama finally puts an end to the billions of tax payer's dollars that is allocated each year for the benefit of this apartheid state.


I was with you up to the apartheid state thing but the point is i agree we need to be focusing all of our time, effort and money on solving America's problems. Simply put America's problems are infinitely more impotant then anything thats going on in Gaza.

Concerned American Veteran and Wildhorses and rayray, There are people who were not fortunate to have the Dad I had. He has been gone for 14 years and I am 59. But when I was young, he taught me that Israel would be a painful unhealing wound on the earth at the end, and that there would be a confederation of European Nations that would be very powerful, and that Russia, who the US sent aid dollars to and made my Dad laugh, "so they can be built up so that they will be a strong nation and 'Rosh' or The Great Bear (Bible) turn against Israel and the U.S. at the end. Hmmm...Dad's right again, Bible scholar that he was. God gave them the land grant thousands of years ago, and they were sent all over the world for 2000 years in the diasphora. But God said he would regather them in the land that He gave them. They were talked into giving up the Gaza by the U.S. That concession brought no peace, as Thugs called Hamas moved into Gaza and began firing dozens of rockets at them. I hope Obama realizes that God promised to bless those that bless Israel. Our troubles really started after we got them to give away the Gaza. They were refugees from their own land, but that VERY day, a small swelling was noticed in the Atlantic and when it developed into Katrina, our people were 'refugees' from New Orleans, sent other places in the U.S. Go Figure. I wouldn't touch Israel negatively with a 10 foot pole. But why worry? Most Americans in their brillance, believe that they are god!

Wow, The very first sentence of this article shows racial hatred and profiling. I would think that Newsweek has higher ethical standards and tolerance then this.

Wont this be interesting. What will a new president do? Will we see his Christian patriotic American leadership, or will we see his Chicago "Christian" anti-American anti-Jew roots come through? Or will we see the ties to his Muslim name and Muslim heritage who he is so proud of? He must be tough? I agree but, it seems the same people who cry that we should not be the world police in Iraq and Afghanistan are now saying we must keep a strong eye on those ???dangerous??? people in Israel. I have many friends on both sides of the line. Spent some of my best years in Israel. It is a difficult issue, and ill bet most of us in our comfortable, easy chairs, watching this thing unravel on our flat screen TV???s, only get half the story, and we just don???t have a clue. I ask this, why wont the neighbors open their boarders to the refugees. Lebanon, is the only state willing to risk hosting Hamas. Egypt? Syria? Jordan? Saudi Arabia? They all know the danger of terrorists who hide behind the women and kids. Maybe Obama needs to recognize Israel. We will see what he really thinks.

worrisome you're right, unfortunatelly nowadays you can easily tell which side a news media is for, they have adopted very noticeable tendencies, which is bound to happen. It might not be fair and clash with our own ideas but that's part of a country with freedom of speech...enjoy it while it lasts, seriously.

Well, Aaron, from the events of the past 12 days, it's abundantly clear that it takes two sides to make peace but only one to start a war. In this case the blame falls squarely on Hamas, financed and armed by Syria and Iran.
How about getting tough on America's enemies for a change?
Or better yet, let Israel finish the job this time and make peace on its own terms?
Liberal rag magazines like newsweek can't stomach a bunch of thugs like Hamas, the Syrians, or Iran getting the crap kicked out of them. And therein lies the problem.

Wow, the very first sentence of this article shows racial profiling and disgust. I would think Newsweek has a higher set of standards

I think that we are all missing a huge issue here. I do feel bad for them over there. No one should have to go thru this. I see all the time that we need to do this and we need to do that. Well this is my opinon and mine only. Why are we sticking our nose in someone elses business. We get into trouble every time. For aid is a different story. We are not the baby sitters of the world. We cant even take care of our own people and country, but we want to take care of others. Also this is a religious war, something America has no business and no clue what we are doing. Stay out of it. If we have to wait till it is all over to send in aid so be it. If it was America, how many countries do you think are going to step up to the plate, HHHMMMM not many if any. We are failing and have failed at helping our own, but we are trying to help others. Does not make alot of sense. Again I do feel for them, hopefully this will be resloved soon.

Peace can be achieved permanently only if both parties decide that they have enough. Third party can help to promote peace, but only temporarily.
The way, I look at it, peace between Palestinians and Israelis is just pipe dream.......Unless, both decide they have enough.

I can???t express how happy I am to see an article written by a highly regarded reporter get published in a widely distributed magazine that reports on the Israel/Palestinian conflict from the prospective of what is best for America. I admit I was wrong; we do have a free press after all. I hope that other reporters and magazines will show the same courage.

The simple fact is that the Palestinians have a country already - it's called Jordan (what used to be Trans-Jordan). The fact that everyone seems to have forgotten that is baffling. As far as the most recent outbreak of violence is concerned - if you fire rockets into a country, that country will attack you back. If you store munitions in schools and other civilian buildings, you can fully expect that those places will be bombed. It is a simple equation.
Though I am a supporter or Isreal, I do feel bad for the Palestinians. They have been used as a political tool and puppet by the surrounding arab nations for decades now in order to achieve their main goal - the destruction of Israel. There really can be no peace as long as that fact remains, and it is a fact unfortunately. That is why at some point during every 'peace' deal, the Palestinian side demands the 'right to return' (when the fact is that there is not room on the tiny sliver of land that is Israel to accommodate both Israelis and all the Palestinians living in other countires).
In addition, the very countries who condemn Isaels's treatment of the Palestinians are the same ones who keep them all living in refugee camps in their own country. If these nations cared so much for the well being of the Palestinians why wouldn't they let them integrate into their societies or supply them with better aid? Perhaps because then there wouldn't be any 'cause' to use as a smokescreen for the agenda of wiping Israel off the map. Everything else is just propoganda.
