31. 25 - 'dubm', hey fadi?
Fred Flinstone ,   Bedrock   (09.12.07)
What's the matter? You refuse to mention that little fact that - all the Arabs have done is to try to war (use guns and bombs) to 'throw the Jews into the sea" & to wipe us off the map with violence - ever since Israel declared independence? Why should little facts get in the way of your 'noble and honest' post?
32. To #24 What are you missing?
Brent Garner ,   Lawrence, US   (09.12.07)
This is not a criticism, but an explanation. Bombing nuclear material risks the spread of long term radioactive material over a potentially substantial area. As a consequence, this kind of action carries a much higher political risk than bombing a conventional weapons dump. Typically, a decision to attack a nuclear site would require approval from the highest levels of the government. I offer as an example the Israeli raid on the Osiraq reactor. This is also why any military action taken against Iran's nuclear program, if there is military action, will have to be done very carefully.

Why are you suddently in Syria? Kicked out of Lebanon?
34. to #28
Eyal ,   Israel   (09.12.07)
All of Israel's wars were instigated by the arabs (save 1967 when it would have been the case had Israel not attacked first), so what you claim to be Israel's pastime is merely defensive acts. The fact the more arabs were killed than Israelis during the last 60 years, shows more about the effective way in which israel's defending itself rather then the "peaceful" intention of its arab neighbours. Of course let us not mention the fact that the number of arabs killed by arabs during the same period of time is far greater, yet I don't hear your (or anyone else's from the international community for that matter) outcry over this... because it is obviously more atrocious when it is the israelis who kill the arabs. So to sum things up I suggest you stay there in the utopian New Zealand, cause you sure as hell don't know anything about this region's history.
35. #28 - A Different Conclusion
Robert Marshall ,   Sydney, Australia   (09.12.07)
You are right. Israel's neighbours who are TRYING to annihilate Israel are NOT doing a very good job. But then again, they have Allah on their side. Doesn't it scare you that it's God who discerns who He favours and who He burns?
36. Coming from the N. Korean Tyrant this is almost a compliment

37. To #10
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (09.12.07)
I always thought Jim Morrison was at the bottom of JFK's assassination; probably with a lot of input from Hendrix. Truth be known, too, Elvis is hunkered down with Dick Cheney in the basement of the White House waiting for the Rapture.
38. The more reason why Peace is so important..
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israel   (09.12.07)
Instead of starting a distructive nuclear race in the middle east, leaders should work hard on achieving peace.

40. #3, Peter joins the Axis of Evil.
DR ,   Florida, USA   (09.12.07)
There is no doubt that Syria, Iran N. Korea, Venezuela and possibly Russia are tryint o up-end the worlds powers. This includes the US, Israel, UK, and most of the EU. It is an axis and it is a little evil, just ask the citizens of those respective countries. Anyway, Israel is doing the right thing by investiigating and scaring the Syrians a little bit. Funny how Syria went to the UN and cried a like a little kid after this fly-over. Big bad wolf, not so big after all, huh ASSad?
41. #28 Peter Morris and stats
DR ,   Florida, USA   (09.12.07)
Your numbers maybe right, but lets think about why that is? Israel is a country which progresses in technology, medicine, education etc. What do its neighbors have? Hatred, lies, brainwshing of the masses, no free press, no freedom of relgion, women are treated as objects etc etc etc. Are you really surprised that a little country like Israel can hold its own in a sea of half-raterded civilizations??? Come on Peter, get real!
42. Good...
Eric S ,   California, USA   (09.12.07)
...for Israel! The Syrians are dopey if they think they can setup nukes and Israel will just sit back and watch.
43. Yeah let the UN resolve this
Anthony ,   Olathe, KS   (09.12.07)
Carolyn are you sure you're from Israel???? How in the hell can you believe that UN sanctions will work? Let's see Libya and Syria were on the human rights commission at one time and in the UN the only nation that votes with Israel is the US. Get the UN out of the US and the US out of the UN! Pathetic organization and their only purpose is to attempt to bring down the US and Israel, fortunately Israel doesn't do polling prior to responding to threats such as these.
44. HAY I HAVE GREAT IDEA
Belal ,   Atlanta USA   (09.12.07)
WHY DONT YOU GIVE BACK THE GOLAN HIGHTS AND THE OCCUPIED LAND BACK TO ARABS AND MAKE PEACE ONCE AND FOR GOOD. UR MILLETARY POWER WILL NOT LAST FOR LONG, BUT GOODWELL AND PEACE WILL...... GREAT IDEA ISNT??
45. It's "go time" with Syria
Michael ,   USA   (09.12.07)
It is time for the IDF to knock out Syria's miilitary capability and will to fight. Israel: Do not vacillate like the US has, simply crush the threat -- this is the most humane approach.
46. #20 and "facts"
Chatich   (09.12.07)
So, where are you getting these so called facts, al-jazeera? The protocols? The koran? Your post starts out with "Since killing seems Israel's national pastime...", exposing your antisemitic slant without having to type another word. As a matter of fact, Israel's "pastime" happens to be survival. Survival against an unrelenting tidal wave of genocidal Islamic ideology, an unyielding campaign to destroy her through wars, proxy militias that hide behind women and children, and some of the most henious, cowardly forms of terrorism ever imagined. This arab agenda has been in place since Israel's independence, long before this fictional notion of "palestinians" was even invented. You are right about one thing though (see broken clock analogy); Israel's neighbors ARE doing a lousy job of destroying her, thank God (at the moment, this project is currently being championed by Israel's own elected politicians, but I digress). All this after barely escaping the Nazi genocide of the second world war, in which your lovely arab friends were fully complicit (google Muhammed Amin al-Husseini). The only thing the Jews had ever done to these people was live and prosper. Not that any of this matters to you one iota. You just plain hate Jews, and your particular version of "the facts" helps validate that hatred, leaving you with that warm, fuzzy feeling inside that Hitler's dream is still alive and well. Unfortunately for you and your ilk (where is antisemitic english rustum guy today? You two could be great chums), we Jews have managed to survive long enough to piss on the graves of those who, like yourself, would rather see us all dead. Shanah tovah.
47. SnooZe & U Lose, Israel
LDC ,   Dallas, USA   (09.12.07)
48. #10 - Forget it Shai - Peter More-ass....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (09.12.07)
is a well known Israel hater who trolls this site. Really not worth responding to. I prefer to let his idiodic ideas (like Israel convinced the neocons to invade Iraq) to hang out there and wither. More to the point - nicely done IDF! Say what you want about Ehud Barak, but at least he's an accomplished military man who uncovers his binoculars when reviewing troops. I'm glad he's defense minister.
49. Peter Morris # 28
Annie Sanger ,   Australia   (09.12.07)
Come on, Peter. It's bedtime in our part of the world. Take your Clonazapam and say nighty-night.
50. Don't Expect Support From The Communists In The US Congress
David ,   Marietta USA   (09.12.07)
Israel, you are on your own. Choose your targets wisely. And make sure they are obliterated. Hopefully Olmert has not fully wrecked your military the way the Clintons (pleural) wrecked ours.
51. #28, Peter,
(09.12.07)
one cannot write so "objectively" and "accurately" as you unless one is a Palestinian or the husband of a Pali woman hiding behind her skirt or at least, behind a Peter Morris name. If you have all the right answers and you deem us all ignorants, why don't you take your street politics into you know whose parliament ?
52. STRIKE ARAB AND IRANIAN TERROR STATE NOW. OLMERT GO HOME
(09.12.07)
53. ARAB FALLOUT
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (09.12.07)
BIOLOGICAL AND NUCLEAR FALLOUT KNOW NO BORDERS AS THE ELEMENTS WHARFT UNGODLY MATERIAL IN ALL DIRECTIONS.ARE THEY SO STUPID THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW THE OUTCOME THAT WILL BE VISITED ON THEM AND THEIR DEAR ONES ONCE SUCH A CONFLAGURATION STARTS.IT IS ALSO UNBELIEVABLE THAT THERE IS SUPPORT FOR A SUICIDicAL LEMMING MENTALITY inorderTO WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE MAP WHATEVE THE COST.. ARE THERE ANY MISINTERPRETATIONS THAT I MIGHT HAVE THAT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS ASSUMPTION, IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW THAT THE ARAB PEACE "NOW "PARTY IS MORE VOCIFEROUS AND CANNOT BE CALLED ANY MORE THE PEACE..::.NO "PARTY.SO WE CAN HAVE AN ENDURING PEACE .AND NOT GO DOWN THE ROAD TO ULTIMATE DISASTER.
54. # 16
gerhard ,   munich, gemany   (09.12.07)
Oh dear, with what will you punish the poor Nordkorean people? They are already punished up to the limits with this crock at the top and the ruling stupid party. Worse, the leaders of China still holding their graceful hands over this pack. Another debate in the UN's security councel, why not? However, what can be changed by this?
55. #34
gerhard ,   Munich, Germany   (09.12.07)
Well, you are almost right, except the 1981 event, when Begin and Sharon orderd IDF to go up to the ouskirts of Beirut to mingle with the falangists.
56. golan
gerhard ,   Munich, Germany   (09.12.07)
Yes, give the Syrians back the Golan Heights and you will again have the Kahula Valley under their fire very soon and the Kibuzzim more or less destroyed. Go to Gadot and freshen up your state of knowledge. IMHO Israel cannnot hand over this area to Syria, Galilee would be in a serios mess.
57. #28 Plenty of anger, little understanding
Hunt S. Cross ,   UK   (09.12.07)
Glad we can agree that the idea of Jews taking over the world is crazy. But don't dismiss the intentions of those who want to restore the Caliphate. Osama's recent invitation to unbelieving Americans to accept Islam is just the first of a short series of steps forming part of his framework of belief. www.dhimmiwatch.org and its sister site go back to the sources. They may change your perspectives. Growing numbers are leaving the extremist organisations because they understand what you fail to.
58. Nukes
Neal Rothner ,   Hashmonaim, Israel   (09.12.07)
How is it that "Do nothing" Olmert suddenly did something? Neal the Hasmonian
59. pete#3
max ,   charleston sc   (09.12.07)
look at this any way you wish the Islamic nationshave used the "rights" of those who cheered on the attackers then wept when they found out that when you lose you are worse off than before. Islam means for your conversion at the point of a sword. if you read the koran you would know this, but I think you already know, and that is why you support the overthrow of Israel. I for one would fight for the Jews, they do not hate me for my believing in something different.
60. Next war provocation from Israel and it will be wiped of map
