6-4-2009 - Pence Reaction to Obama Speech in Cairo

[cannonballcrusader]

A true patriot puts America, not Israel first.

The Israelis deserve the right to defend themselves but those neo-cons and Zionists that put Israel before America are treasonous.

[MrPoliticon]

Mike Pence is among the brightest conservative political figures in the congress today. I hope he runs for for the President in the next elections, as he is just the right material for the job.

[MsCuriousCat]

I say Open the GATES and let the Muslims come in, they are more terrorist than the Americans that bomb in this country. PEACE!

[MsCuriousCat]

That's lie not a lot of American support Israel because they kil babies and innocent people that do have h=guns to protect themselves

[MsCuriousCat]

He said "the people in the US stands with Israel" those people are killers, check it out on YouTube and they even killed American now how can America support that. I dont give a damn about those Jews and not even they are the real Jews anyway. American should be ashamed of themselves, white people will kill innocent babies and to them its OK for Israel to kill babies. I hate the people that in charge of America because they make Americans look real bad to the WORLD

[playfyte]

And many millions of Americans don't support Israel. What an ally. How many times have we arrested their spies in our country? What is there to cherish about our allegiance to Israel? What is the payoff? Supporting their colonialistic intrusion into the Palestinian lands has characterized us as an enemy to all the other semitic people of the region. I also feel that you don't speak for all the other american people. You certainly don't speak for me. Let the zionists fend for themselves finally.

[milkmusic78]

These statements are patently false, and you are either mistaken or determined to try and put forward your agenda through prevarication. Either way, what you say is rubbish.

[inforevolution]

This guy is right on. Good people of the world will stand with a Jewish Israel

[NEKO2BOT]

Mike Pense agrees with Obama on the point that the settlements are illegal and that the land must be returned to the Palestinian people.

Millions of American Jews want to reel in the radical Zionist in Israel that are making them look racist in the way the "Hate Obama" video does.

The US does have the power to control Israel and even take away its 500 nuclear weapons.

Without American aid Israe would be gone in a week.

[PinkyPinky000]

who disarmed the Jews? noooo of course they can be terrorist, cos is by state...

[banchoat]

The only problem Pense has is that he will lose his job if he does not side wih Israel. The second problem is the fake Israeli lies. Israelis lie too much , they lie and fabricate all day long

[monroesq]

nonsense. putting words in obama's mouth about moral equivalence that were not there. non sequitur.

[WholeLotta]

this guy is an idiot. Walking ignorance at its best.

[boobear46]

Is Israel to give and give again? The problem with Palestine is not the families just trying to get by, it's radical Muslims and their leaders that not only want to take over Israel but the rest of the world as well. We should be grateful they fight there for their own freedom from tyranny but for ours as well. Israel has tried to be nice and it got them no where except more terrorism from Palestine. Until Palestine is willing to live in peace, there can be no resolution.

[monroesq]

just give up the settlements. do you want peace or not?

[TanzanianRoots]

But they are morally equivilent...

[trangbak]

interesting concept. Israel is not exactly an ally as much as it is a dependent of the US. Israel needs to stop its settlement expansion under the thinly veiled guise of "natural growth". Seriously?

[gransul67]

How can any minority of ANY race in their right mind ever vote Republican? The Republican have successfully alienated the Latin people with Sotomeyer's nomination, now the Muslims. The Republicans are truly a racist party. They don't like Jews either. They are just trying to manipulate the Jewish people, but I think the Jews are much smarter than that and are seeing right through them. If Republicans ever get back in power, something is seriously wrong with the American people.

[mohammads1987]

oo yes

[popinjay3000]

to the poster, please allow all comments even those from the right wing...debate is good

[sdara357]

to hell with these jews, they've been oppressing the Pastines for decades

[uatk]

I don't understand how stopping Israel's illegal settlements against its existence.....

[ExileTrakz]

this guy is a jew

[ExileTrakz]

this guys is full of hate and siding with israel. hammas is not a terror group, they just freedom fighters. big ups to obama for going against these evil people.

[zspree88]

1:00: "...So long as we see Palestinians follow the historic roadmap, disarm terrorists...we haven't seen that."

Is this guy a dumba** ? Israel's been defying INTERNATIONAL LAW from the Geneva convention by expanding settlements and killing off Palestinians. Is our "cherished ally" following any orders here ?

[cussnana]

pence = butt kissing israelis/ jews

[whereisyoursense]

pence is looking for more lobby money

[saadasim]

The GOP is dying and its easy to see why.

[HoofHeartedFilms]

I disagree with Pence. I am an American and I stand for all people. Not just Israel. Pence must have some financial obligation to make such a rediculous statement. Thats the problem with our leaders. They are not servants to the public so much as they are servants to their respective masters.

[WOO277]

America cannot arbitrate and support Israel unconditionally at the same time. Its morally wrong. Like Obama said both sides have done wrong and need to come to a compromise. Israelis liked the speech and are willing to cooperate so what's up with you?

[Riverblue87]

I think I would love Israel if it were respectful to Palestinians. I just don't understand how a people that were oppressed through history and almost annihilated, become the most hated country in the world. A country that does not listen to the UN, human rights, keeps on stealing land and killing innocent people.

The Palestinians are doing whatever they can to get heard by the world. This is like the Apartheid in South Africa. And guess what, Israel supported the Apartheid regime.

[popinjay3000]

excellent comment...

[premjit31]

But that's what you've been doing these past 60 years..telling the hamas and the palestinians to drop their guns and donating F16s to israel at the same time...

[maartenvandecraats23]

pence is not pushing the pro - israeli perspective,

the idea that the palestinians shouldnt get there own state , and that as much as possible of the westbank should be taken with settlements before a possible two state sollution will be forced upon israel in the future , is the point of view of a minority of hardcore religious extremists. like nubbs said the majority of israelis want peace and are tired of these people that caused so many years of war and insecurity

[maartenvandecraats23]

why would anyone that wants peace between the israelis and the palestinians ? be against , stopping the expansions of settlements in the westbank ?

there can be no peace and expansions of settlements at the same time ?

mike pence is probably not even saying what he realy would like to say , as a human beeing , he is why people dont trust politicians

[TariqDBA]

Hey guys u all listen here we as muslims in the past we were really with Osama we believed tat in the beginng he was inocent but now 99% of muslims came to know tat he is a fool and was fooled by USa..so we are anti his useless movement struggle...lol

[mads888]

This guy can't seem to grasp the idea that it's Israels best interest to end the confrontational behaviour and to live in peace. And that means stopping these new settlements. I think most republicans lack the simple ability to use common sense. The last reasonable guy i listened to was Ron Paul. The rest of just seem like little boys playing cowboys in their parents backyard. Only now they've learned how to use big words and dress nice.

[gransul67]

How can any minority of ANY race in their right mind ever vote Republican? The Republican have successfully alienated the Latin people with Sotomeyer's nomination, now the Muslims.

[rasheeed07]

Maybe im intepreting this wrongly,

but it seems like Pence is basically saying.. Israel is our Allie so we should never speak bad about their illegal settlements!

i personally think Obama's speech was good!

He spoke out against all the injustices that are commited on both israeli and palestinian sides!

[gem6969696969]

This clown was elected to public office?Why did this happen?The people of indiana should be ashamed of themselves for electing such a narrow minded fool.His views are dead wrong in so many ways.what a clown fuck

[bobbyorr2888]

what a fool, typical REP and a butt kisser politician that always sides with Israel.

[Outback4Me]

It is pure ignorance to believe that championing the same bull is going to make a difference in this world. We need to GET RID OF people like Pence who can't think outside the box. They don't belong in our government.. Change comes from education and empowerment. We need to stop hiding behind Israel's apron strings for a presence in the Middle East. It's gotten us nowhere thus far.

[zibrahim123]

i hate israel

[zibrahim123]

israel sucks.. america rules..

[iSAW7]

Israel is continually an obstacle to peace. Cease the settlements.

[maumin786]

Cong. Pence, with all due respect, your Cherished Ally pulled out of Gaza & gave back less than 60km of Land while continuously living it ina open air prison like condition.

On the other hand, Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank is accelerating in a manner not witnessed since 2003 & with little government oversight, according to Yesh Din, an Israeli human rights group.

These Illegal settlements is at the heart of this conflict & Israel for far to long has been left unquestioned.

[lungfungus]

Go Mike. You are doing us proud!

[thekillerfishy]

America needs to wake up, they aren't as picture perfect as they keep claiming they are.. That's why most of the world thinks so little of the USA. Obama gave me reason to be proud of being an American again! The USA is not perfect and has not always made the right choices, but we all need to get past our differences and move forward! Mistakes have been made regarding Israel, although Israel in itself is not a mistake we have no acknowledge that things should have been dealt with differently..

[esham72]

"This guy is out of touch!"

[adasw20]

Hamas and guys like this are the problem, equaly. because for them it's about winning, not finding a reasonable solution.

Pointing fingers is not going to get us any were, that is what has been going on in 60 years, and look where it got us..

[smileytrucker]

Mike is the man.. Probably the only one I have ever seen in DC use common sence. You tell them Mike

[nubbs]

how is stopping settlement activity a concession? is it not a legal, if not moral, obligation. as obama said, it is in the interest of israeli security to pull out of palestinian territory. pence is more catholic than the pope in this instance, as the majority of israeli agree with obama

[allTRIPLE1]

Pence look like a loser, going against Obama.

[ananiasacts]

Fundamentalist Christian representative resents that Obama spoke as if Palestine has a right to a nation, and should be recognized as equal to Israel. He never explains why, but just uses the opportunity to push the pro-Israeli perspective.

This is the kind of garbage that's destroying our nation--imbeciles like Pence that base their decisions on their religion rather than embrace and defend a secular nation. This man is an embarrassment to our nation.

[halpyman]

i was the first to watch this video!
