richard Hitchings ,   methil   (06.02.06)
I look Forward to the day when Blix will lead his team into Israel....While in the Background the War Criminals Bush/Blair Snarl and Spit...Desperate to try out there New Smart Weapons... .The Zionist will of course be bombed back to the Stoneage.... only to Discovery that.... Indeed they have no WMD.
2. yes, israel is a nuclear threat. right.
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (06.02.06)
the islamists are just angr that their hopes of destroying israel may come with the huge price of nuclear retaliation. what a bummer. in their warped mentality they have the 'right' to 'resist' israel 'by all means', but israel should only accept her due punishment and destruction at muslim hands with passivity and silence. that reminds me of a 2 year old child -who believes that 'the world revolves around ME'. and, like a 2 year old, they cry, complain, and scream when they don't get their selfish way. poor babies.
3. I have a dream for richard hitchings...

.....that sir general mike jacksons shoves that Trident missle right up your proverbial backside you hypocritical pohm
4. Dr. Blix has Israel ever threated......
David ,   Karmiel   (06.02.06)
to destroy Iran or any other country that has perpetuated the state of war since1948? Dr. Blix why don't you tell the Arab World to recognize the State of Israel and benefit from Israel's expertise in so many ways that would help their people? Of course Dr. Blix, you are a Swede and we do remember that Sweden, a country that could have saved thousands of Jews from the gas chambers of the Nazis, did nothing! Regrettably, Dr. Blix, Sweden and the Swedish people are no friends of Israel or the Jewish people.
5. Wasn't Hans Blix in the film Team America: World Police?

7. #4: Politely worded question:
NilsG ,   Helsingborg, Sweden   (06.02.06)
"... Sweden, a country that could have saved thousands of Jews from the gas chambers of the Nazis, did nothing!" Could you please explain how. Apart from which question you are, to my shame, correct.
8. # 3 Good idea, bad wording
yakov shani ,   IL.   (06.02.06)
The trident missile is not proverbial, neither is Mr. Hithings backside proverbial. Both are very real. The act has always been proverbial and in the case of Mr. Hitchings should become solid reality.
9. # 1 Mr.H.
yakov shani ,   IL.   (06.02.06)
We do not need to be bombed back into the stone age as we are constantly surrounded by its most prominent members. Now and again people like you and the academics remind us that even in England there remains a sizeable community. Anybody contemplating that we should join you and these unfortunates will be administered medicine that induces instant transmogrification.
10. UN and these other "major powers"
keren ,   sao paulo   (06.02.06)
are so patheticaly stupids,prepotents and pretensious...(and incompetents as well) How long do they think they will be able to hold other nations wills in collars ,driving them like litlle dogs at their (bad) service. And Israel can not see it is being used as a litlle pet equaly? Olmert falls like a stupid(sorry all if I must aply harsh words,but I can not find others)in the cunning fine words of Bush,the same way his antecessors did,subservientely,with an wide open mouth ,fascinated for their "power" and money. How stupid one can be!Or how amoral(or imoral!)one can be? The word "whore"is just a compliment for them.
11. Blix still believes in the tooth fairy, Santa Clause and
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (06.02.06)
peace for Israel through removing all protection from terrorists. Hans Blix has the common sense of a bowl of Jello.
12. Blix - Haenschen Klein ging allein
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (06.02.06)
Hans Blix: Incompetent bureaucrat or cowardly diplomat - He has an unsurpassed record of failure in dealing with Saddam Hussein Blix had never the backbone to be confrontational … the first requirement for effective inspections. A man who "ran a toothless agency." Who on earth is resurrecting this Fool - only the UN can be so stupid. Sweden's former deputy prime minister Per Ahlmark , who wrote that Blix was "weak and easily fooled," "easily misled," and "a wimp." "I can think of few European officials less suitable for a showdown with Saddam," Ahlmark concluded. Blix a blundering, incompetent fool. Their resurrected this lame duck called : Hans Blix as a horrible megaphone for anti-Semitic / anti-Israel propaganda. What's new from the Swedish Haenschen - it's typical

will not keep the blitz away.
14. Blix was and remains an idiot
Larry ,   Eastbourne, UK   (06.02.06)
Blix and his inspectors made sure that Saddam Hussein was able to transfer Iraq's "weapons of mass destruction" to Syria and Iran, that's the most likely reason none were found in Iraq. As for the calls by Blix, El Baradei etc for Israel not to keep nuclear weapons, this just exposes their hypocrisy. Israel needs such weapons as a pure deterrent while Iran is developing them for obviously aggressive purposes. Why don't these fools also demand that the UK, USA, France, Russia, China, India and Pakistan dismantle their nuclear arsenals?
15. 1 Hitchings: hate to disappoint YOU commie
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (06.02.06)
stop trying to be a smart @@@@ Israel has never signed any Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) So little Boy Blix or any other UN pop up can not even ask for any such inspection
16. Israel never signed the NPT-so Blix can talk until the Cows
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (06.02.06)
come home Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)
17. Blix start removing France's Chiraqs nukes
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (06.02.06)
since Chiraq already threatened to use them the other day Blixy-Boy and as you are at with Chiraq - take a trip to the UK and Tony Blair - inspect them -
18. To #7: An easy answer
David ,   Karmiel   (06.02.06)
By opening the border before it was too late. Of course, to be fair, there were many incidents of Swedes, in their private capacity, who did try to help. The most famous and esteemed of all was Raoul Wallenberg. It must be noted that the Danish Jews, numbering about 8,000, were saved due to to efforts of Georg Dukwitz, a German diplomat, who was instrumental in organizing their escape in Danish fishing boats to Sweden where they were offered asylum. Make no mistake, Sweden does not stand alone. The Swiss could also have played a major part in the rescue of the Jews of Germany in the early days of Hitler’s Judenrein Policy and many other countries, including the United States, did not exactly welcome Jewish refugees in the days when escape was still possible. It must also be remembered that Sweden voted for Partition and thus the creation of the State of Israel but today, the Swedish Government sides with the forces of terror against Israel, has admitted Hamas Cabinet Members on an official visit in spite of the EU’s decision regarding the status of Hamas. Certainly, war is a terrible thing and the results are devastating but Sweden seems to chose the path of sympathizing with those who are the root cause of the Israeli Palestinian conflict without taking into consideration the killing of Jews in this region for more than 100 years and that Arab belligerence, in defiance of the UN Resolution recognizing Israel, which has resulted in the deaths of more than 20,000 Israelis. Thank you for your honesty and I hope I have fully answered you question.
19. The UN was made by the US
DR ,   Florida, USA   (06.02.06)
All these countries from Europe who think they know what is best for the world need to wake up and smell the coffee. Hans Bllix is an irrellevant idiot, a puupet. The US has the final say on everything for a good reason...the rest of the world is partially retarded. Israel will never give up these weapons as long as it's surrounded by Muslim countires that want to destroy it. This concept is lost on people like Mr. Hitchings who want to see Israel disappear. It will never happen, but people like him will surely disappear.
20. #1, Mr. Hitchings...
DR ,   Florida, USA   (06.02.06)
What you'll get is a nightmare, you Israel hating freak!!! How hrad is it to understand that when someone threatens to destroy you, you fight back??? I guess where you come from, fighting is bad and bending over with a white flag in your ass is the thing to do. People like you are pathetic and that is why Israel and the US will never listen to or obey what the UN (an American fabrication) says. Dream away Mr. Hitchings....I guess it's better than living in the real world
21. Goldwater's comments
Rustum ,   London, UK   (06.02.06)
Why don't you ever accord any respect to anyone who disagrees with you 1mm? Apart from the fact that you live in Geneva which thrives on Arab money, and which also did not open its borders wide to Jews fleeing persecution, and whose streets teem with visiting Gulf Arabs (it must be hell for you), I simply do not understand why you constantly lower the level of debate here to name-calling and pathetic sarcasm. You never address any issue seriously, but pontificate as if Goldwater knows the answer to absolutely everything. Buz ve herpa.
22. Take a hike, Mr. Blix.
Ron ,   New York, USA   (06.02.06)
23. Blix
Brod ,   USA   (06.02.06)
Is Blix suggesting that the Arab Islamist-Jihadist countries can attack Israel with impunity? Blix must be out of his mind to compare Israel with Iran. Iran is a fanatical Islamist-Jihadist country that has sponsored Islamist terrorisms around the world and has threatened to wipe off Israel with nuke (Read p. 224 of "World on Fire" by Professor Amy Chua). It is so-called 'experts' like Blix who have NEVER read books such as: the history of the Middle East conflict from ancient to modern; the Holy Bible and Current Affairs books pertaining to the Middle East , that makes the world less secure. He falls in the same category of failures as Carter and other fake Middle East so-called 'experts'.
24. Blix was right about Iraq
john ,   London   (06.02.06)
By the way, a good opportunity to remember that Blix was right when he said that no invasion was necessary to take care of the iraqi WMD. It was the terrifying time when our US allies were telling us that NY was under the threat of the iraqi missiles.... Lies, lies. Who was right, Gabrielle, ? Blix, El Baradei, Chirac, Schroeder... Who was wrong, Linda? Bush, Blair...
25. 21 Rustum: Wake up I work for over 40 years in journalistic
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (06.02.06)
investigation work for and with Israel now I am part of those who actually helps to investigate and post motions within my Government to stop funding terrorism etc... to expose EU funding and Swiss funding - with long professional investigations I am a an active Member of "Funding for Peace Coalition" [FPC] [www.euFunding.org ] What journalistic and or membership do you have ? Now - I am the one who has the access to my Parliamentarians to force issues in my Government - to expose my Government Now - tell me what access and what help have you given Jewish issues to set the record straight - as I have done for over 40 years - tell us Rustum what you have done If you cannot come with that - then I suggest you plain SHUT UP Journalistic investigation work isn't easy - coneferences and Radio session - are tiresome How many times I have to have police security when I am in conferences - because of violent Muslims and their cohorts - people of your kind that claim to be against violence - as You But I have to have police protection and those who work with our team against people like YOU as I said Now YOU just tell us ONCE - what have YOU done instead of posting absolute CRAP
26. 24john:Keep on dreaming little man Hate to Burst Your bubble
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (06.02.06)
you obviously only read Arab news Read facts silly man FrontPage magazine.com :: Symposium: Iraq, WMDs and Troubling Revelations by Jamie Glazov http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=22645

Sweden could have let Jews in. Plain and simple. Turkey did. China did.
28. #24
(06.02.06)
Are you blind or just stupid? Sadaam's right hand admitted Sadaam told him to use WMDs on Israel AND the US but he told him that the Israelies have eyes everywhere and it cannot be done... check the damn history. Sadaam had WMDs, just because he moved them before the invasion doesn't mean crap except that people still seem to believe it, people like you, with no independent mind, you cannot think for your own, so everything you read must be true to you. Even I, even on ynet, don't believe everything I read. Go check the FACTS, before you do that go to the dictionary and findout what facts are, as you don't seem to know.
29. #24
Jane   (06.02.06)
Before you get so smug with yourself, perhaps you might want to sift the sands in Bashar's Syria. Wonder why this is not an issue. Blix is typical Euro. Thinks he knows everything, totally self-righteous, blatantly favors the Arabs, is wholly ineffective, wants to squeeze all means of self-preservation out of Israel - typical Euro.
30. #24 Blix was wrong about Iraq
Brod ,   USA   (06.02.06)
Blix was wrong about Iraq. The fact is Saddam had WMD which he spirited to Syria for safekeeping prior to the American invasion of Iraq. Read the account of former Iraqi Air Force General Georges Sada in his book entitled "Saddam's Secrets" published in 2006 by Integrity Publishers. ISBN 1-59145-404-2 (hardcover), ISBN 1-59145-458-1 (international paperback).
