2. So true..
Johnson ,   USA   (10.04.06)
3. excuse me?
Abdul ,   Egypt   (10.04.06)
When asked about Israeli Nukes, he totally rejected to answer..what a wuss! if you can't stand up to say that you do have nukes, and that you can't accept anyone in the region apart from u to have nukes..then ur a natural wuss..coz thats what you want.
4. if only Iran had a Peres and Beilin...
aaron ,   ra'anana   (10.04.06)
or an Olmert, or a Peretz... we would all be better off...
5. Call to Demilitarize M.E. of WMD
Raymond ,   South Africa   (10.04.06)
How is it that the countries with the most WMD seek to prevent other countries from attaining similar goals? The calling for the demilitarization of WMD from the Middle East is a joke(i.e. no WMD to be held by Israel).Lets rather call for a world free of WMD, & let France for example start the process in her own backyard 1st, setting the example for the rest of the world.Why does France need nuclear weapons? What threat is she under, hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Makes one wonder.
6. Peres
Brod ,   USA   (10.04.06)
Despite his age, Peres is right on target on the issues.
7. Rules of having the right to have a bomb
Alexander ,   Lebanon   (10.04.06)
Let me act as a naive person and ask: what is the requirement to entitle someone to have nuclear bomb? 1: Do I nee to be Jewish supporter of any act regardless of killing civilians or not? 2: Do I need need to be Anti-Arab? 3: Do I need to be Arab to be blamed even for North Korea's bomb? 4: What cvan we do to kill all Arabs if not all Muslems? 5: Is there any other country that has a nuclear bomb? 6: Is Israel the only child of the world who is allowed to have anything but not talk about it. 7: Isn't UN a joke? 8: Whoever is strong is right even if he is wrong. God bless the dictator of the world in the whitehouse.
8. How Rediculous!
John Smith ,   San Francisco, CA   (10.04.06)
I've never heard of a suicide bomb being lobbed from a tank, a ship or an F-16. How on earth can you compare a few hundred "human bombs" loaded with a few pounds of explosives to millions of your criminal cluster bombs, tens of thousands of phosphorous, napalm and Depleted Uranium bombs (some of which weigh 5000 lbs)??? Crying victim while being a Tyrant doesn't bring you sympathy from the world. And Mr. Peres, If you were really interested in peace ,you'd be happy to explore other options, rather than stick to some lousy "road map" that has lead you only to NO WHERE!
9. iran
to mr abdul ,   ashdod , israel   (10.04.06)
the big difference between iran and israel is that we are not threatening anyone to be wipe of the map !the big difference is that our nuke is a deterrence strengh to countries like iran who would like to see us eliminated !! i think arab countries should think about the well being of his populations before listenning to that kind of demagogic propaganda , your leaders are lying to you they want to make forget their corrupted regime by attaking israel evrery time !!
10. The only answer you would believe...
#3 you're excused.   (10.04.06)
is yes Israel has nukes So there is little point in answering at all.
11. # 7None of the above.
Jon ,   Oz   (10.04.06)
Never having called for the wiping of a people off the map should suffice.
12. Israel would never use nukes as a first strike...
Oven Tsion ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.04.06)
...whereas Iran, driven by the fanatic jihad mentality of its leaders, could NEVER be trusted with nuclear weapons and must NEVER be allowed to possess them.
13. Calling the kettle black
Arie ,   Afula   (10.04.06)
While I agree that the UN and others are openly supporting Teheran's terrorist diatribes (as the world did with hitlerallah), peres is not the one to complain given his appeasement of pali terrorism
14. And what do u call the 300 nuclear bombs that israel has !??
fadi ,   lebanon   (10.04.06)
15. #3 You are wrong
Ely greenhut ,   Zefat Israel   (10.04.06)
Israel has may have nuclear weapons to protect itself. Israel never threatened any of its neighbors. It only retaliated when provoked & attacked. On the other hand, Iran openly wants to destroy Israel. Egypt is seeking nuclear energy too. Idoubt it is for peaceful purposes. From the way you wrote your talkback, you would like to see Israel wiped off the map as well.
16. #14 Fadi
Brod ,   USA   (10.04.06)
Where did you get your fantastic figure? Don't speculate about numbers or things you do not know.
17. #16 He is kidna right, only it's 500+
Dan ,   Israel   (10.04.06)
By vanunnu's pictures and papers Israel has by now over 500 nuclear war hads a 1000 time stronger than what the US used in Japan. No to talk about thermo nuclear weapons which are speculated to be 300-400. Israel had nuclear weapons since the early 1960' and even though Israel fought 3 big wars, 1 of them almost led to her destraction, she didn't use them nor did she theatened to. So, giving WMD to people with right mind is OK, giving it to fanatics is BAD. BTW, to the idiot that said that you have to like jews, hate arabs ect' to have WMD, Pakistan got WMD (Nukes...). To the dummy that said he avoided the Q, yes, this is the Israeli tactic, don't say what you have and don't say what you do not have, let the enemy speculate.
18. God bless Iran.
AT   (10.04.06)
A fair world should admit capabalities of a nation as Iran and live with idea that Iran has already nuclear weapons.
19. #17
Abdul ,   Egypt   (10.04.06)
As a matter of fact, it's not about the world knowing whether or not Israel has nukes..coz we already know that u do..its about ur leaders admitting their intentions, and stand up to what they want...if they're real men that is.
20. PERES MUST GO TO TEHERAN FOR NEGOTIATIONS

21. to no 8
AT ,   Morocco   (10.04.06)
Congratulations, well said.
22. to john smith
dovdevan ,   ashdod,israel   (10.04.06)
you should join hezbollah or al quaida !! i'm sure you will be well accepted because you are using the same vocabulary so what israel should do ? giving more land to hamas terrorist , giving iran the possibility to get nuke !! in fact you ask israel to surrender , yes we haven't got the sympathy of the world actually we don't care because the world once again is willing to let us down believing that the islamofascist will stop after destroying israel but you will be the next on their way and prepare to convert yourself !!!
23. # 8 Your a fool, dumber than dumb, and Anti-semetic
Kissel   (10.04.06)
You failed to mention the criminal acts commited against Israel which provoked the response of your called "Illegal Cluster Bombs". Kidnapping of 2 Soldiers. Launching of rockets into Israeli CIVILIAN POPULATION CENTERS. 400 a DAY! 400 Hey JACKASS, if I were to abduct your chilren and launch motors on your house, what would you do Mr. Liberal Californian Vegiterian. And the Peace part, the Palis have had oppurtunity after oppurtunity for Peace. They respond with Intifadas. Rejected Clinton at the Rose Garden at the White House. They don't want Peace, they want to fight. They elected a Terrorist Government to fight thew Jews. If the Pali's put down their arms there would be Peace, if the Israelis put down their arms, POOF, no more Israel. Your just blinded by hate and jealousy of the Jewish people....lol Your a complete Moron with nothing but Hatred toward the Jewish people slithering threw your Evil head.
24. Iran and nukes
Brenda ,   Indiana   (10.04.06)
I have no ideal if Israel has nukes and it really doesn't matter to me in fact it's okay if they do. The reason is they've shown though much provocation that they will not use them unless it's absolutely neccessay. If it looks like they are going to be destroyed as a nation they'll take a few other nations with them. Admondenajab (sp) wants to wipe Israel off the map with America next. Do any of you think that if he is successful he will stop there? Every nation in the Middle East will come under his hand as will many parts of Europe. This is what he wants as he thinks that death and destruction will bring back some ultra-holy guy. This man is a piece of work, let me tell you and if he gets nukes he will use them. That's a given. Everyone with any sense of self-preservation should know this. During the Cold War, Russian and America both had nukes but the one big difference was that both Russians and Americans didn't want to die and wipe out most of their population. The thought of mass death deterred both sides. Do any of you think that it will make the Iranian guy think twice? The answer is a big fat NO and most of you with any sense know this. This is what he wants! Israel, if they do have nukes, will not use them unless driven to it for their own safety. They've proven this. Israel isn't going over to other countries causing death and destruction but if they are provoked they will protect themselves. Lebanon caused what happened to them in the 36 day war because they listened to Hasrallah. Most of the Lebanese were blinded by the giving of thousands of dollars by the Hezbullah after the war ended. We in America saw many people being given 12,000 dollars by the Hezballah. Where do you think that money came from? Iran. The Lebanese will find out when it's too late that they should have kicked Hasrallah out when they could. Iran is behind all of that and will keep doing things that incite strife and dissention in the Middle East. Remember that's what they want.
