1. When will we have a full and comprehensive peace in the M.E.
Adel ,   Bahrain   (10.18.07)
How much time is needed to achieve this goal, the conflict has continued for fare too long.
2. True, but many will die B4 Divine intervention
Obama ,   Washington DC   (10.18.07)
3. This guy seems 2 b so sold 2 make estimations
JOE ,   Jerusalem   (10.18.07)
4. ...that is, unless we break Torah
Josh   (10.18.07)
"How can two unite thousands in war, if the hand of G-d had not done this." Torah Stop breaking not working 6 days and taking a Shabbat (includes not making others work for you even children/employees at the mall), stealing,worshiping false g-ds/carved g-d images, false witness, dishonoring parents, coveting your neighbor's wife/thins, stealing, nor taking G-d's name in vain. There is a reason why other religiouns want to corrupt Israel with magic, such as when Babylon kidnapped our leaders to teach them corruption. Torah explains how we can remain in the "good land". If we don't live in a good land or are destroyed, it is from not loving G-d enough to do the real Torah (not speaking of Torah b'peh which are illegal additions).
5. Am I supposed to feel better after reading this?
Glenn ,   Canada   (10.18.07)
I'd still trust my instincts and experience rather than the reassurances of someone who tells us not to worry our little heads, that everything is fine and being taken care of.
6. funny man! he he he...
Arash ,   US   (10.18.07)
This guy is so angry. so his words is very funny.
7. Somehow Ephraim Halevy...
Solly ,   los angeles   (10.18.07)
...is very honest and believable. I have always felt we are overdoing this Iran thing.
8. are you kidding me?
jalili ,   NYC, USA   (10.18.07)
Iran was the loser? Wake up son.
9. true
Alex ,   Los Angeles   (10.18.07)
I agree it is impossible to destroy the israel without grave consequences and impossible to do by any country in the Middle East. The reason is simple, people that live there were trained since the childhood to defy odds and overcome obstacles. I salute to everyone who lives there.
10. The hubris of the Israeli establishment is mind-boggling
(10.18.07)
Soooo, that's the real truth about the famous Mossad -- the emperor is naked.
11. Hubris is the enemy
SL ,   New York   (10.18.07)
"Vanity, vanity, all is vanity" said King Solomon. Hubris is worrisome. Israel hopefully has learned its lesson from the Yom Kippur war and from the Lebanon war of 2006. While "Masada Shall Not Fall Again!" is a great slogan, let's all realize that without God's help the nation of Israel would not have much of a chance to survive long-term.
12. Mossad Hubris
eddie ,   london UK   (10.18.07)
Any responsible leader should not consider himself or hsi country as invincible. We Jews should have learned this, after the bitter exile of 2000 years. And even if we can defeat our foes, perhaps the crazy politicians will give away the country, as they have already started to do. Before setting out to war, our trust should be in the God of Israel, and after we win, it is He that we should praise and not our raw military might.
13. HALEVY IS TALKING TOO MUCH ! SHUT UP !
Ron   (10.18.07)
14. Israel can never destroyed BECAUSE G-d is watching over His
Joseph P. ,   Jerusalem   (10.18.07)
favorites.
15. wake up man!, this is not 1973 nickel grass stuff
observer   (10.18.07)
16. Good job Ephraim.
Uzziel   (10.18.07)
You want to instill a false sense of security in the Israeli people (no long the people of Israel) to push them to make undue concessions in Annapolis. "By the way of deception" too many Israeli leaders are betraying ISRAEL.
17. armoured
john   (10.18.07)
the jewish state has powers the antiwar jews of europe who just wanted to achieve parnasa and messianic age never had . either by sampson or zakkai the jewish evolution must be eternal
18. Iran/Hez did NOT do well out of War.TheyTHINK they did well
Alan ,   SA   (10.18.07)
They showed the world their Cards. Before the war the people in World that count didnt understand Iran+Arab Teros like Hez. Also the Hamas antics in Gaza was bad for them. AS a ferinstance WHO complained about the Israeli strike on that Syrian Bebe milk Factory last month -NO ONE not even Arab States. Lebanon was put back in everyway since that war last year.There have been no more kidnapping urges by HezShatan
19. halevy
elliot ,   point roberts,usa   (10.18.07)
sounds like comlacency run wild...what is the'lander' institute?
20. God Will Protect His People
Keith ,   USA   (10.18.07)
Have no fear Israel and return to the loving and obeying our G-d and His Torah. G-d will protect His people Israel and the world will worship G-d while Yeshua rules from Jerusalem. Interesting to read Isaiah 17 concerning Syria and Ezekiel 38-39 for Iran's fate in the near future. Yeshua came the first time to teach a return to Torah and he will return soon to Jerusalem as Mashiach.
21. 4,11,17, 20Yeh, killed Israeli soldiers didn't observe Torah
Ovadia   (10.18.07)
22. ...and the Titanic is unsinkable
Josh   (10.18.07)
Ony G-d can make statements like this about Israel. It is our choice. Back to Torah so that we may remain long in the good land.
23. As long as you see yourselves as grasshoppers, you will
NEVER be strong.   (10.18.07)
24. #20 Abuse of prophecy
Josh   (10.18.07)
...you completely quote out of context. Jesus (Yeshu) did not come to teach Torah. He did test and collect the fallen Jews into a new religion where they were expelled and worshipped a g-d their fathers did not know. That is fullfillement of the curses, by the way. Jesus stated why he came. "Do not think that I have come to bring peace." He went on to state his purpose was to bring war and burn up the chaf, etc. It was not teach Torah! In fact if someone passed his Torah quiz, he sent them away to learn Torah on their own. Moses said the Messiah was a man from amoung those returning from sin. Jesus is sin free (so the claim goes), so he is disqualified. As Moses is the greatest prophet that ever was - your wrong. Jesus was forsaken by G-d. "Why have you forsaken me?"
