1. Tell us something we dont know!!
Alex ,   Australia   (11.06.07)
We know Iran will be nuclear by 2009 if not before, We know Syria is spending BIG on anti air missiles and getting what it wants from the russians and we know Hizballah now has advanced anti ship and anti air missiles? tell me something I dont know??
2. defense
now ,   here   (11.06.07)
On the other hand, Syria, Hezbollah and Iran might be arming themselves in a bid to defend themselves from aggression or to deter aggression by the US and Israel. After all it is the US who invaded Iraq and Israel that recently targeted Syria and Israel that bombed the hell out of S. Lebanon. So looking at it from their point of view their actions are defensive.
3. Nothing to worry about ....
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (11.06.07)

7. #2 Smarty pants comments made in total ignorance ..
Scott   (11.06.07)
of any contributing factors created by Israel/USA's enemies. They dont perceive these buildups as 'defensive' except when feeding the media 30 second grabs to appease and fool people like yourself. Israel's enemies have always been out to destroy the state and have continually re-stated their non-acceptance under ANY circumstances for decades. They dont want peace with Israel, these arms build ups are just readying for another 'crack' at the Jewish state.
8. Bad info...
Thomas   (11.06.07)
71% of Iranians hate the mullahs and the pres, how is such a regime in no danger?
9. Barak; how close your term closes?
(11.06.07)
because you take your time preparing, no more surprises in Gaza, no more excuses!

Now ,   here   (11.06.07)
OK, so where is the hard evidence that Iran is going nuclear and is preparing to attack Israel. The damage caused by israel, far supercedes anything perpetrated by Iran. Let the people in Iran decide what to do with their leaders without bombing them into so-called 'regime change'. It doesn't work.
11. do it
mati ,   far away   (11.06.07)
it's okay the Israelis should attack gaza
12. 10#, What is your name and where do you live?
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (11.06.07)
13. #2/#10
here and left   (11.06.07)
the more you post, the more you prove your lack of knowledge. How many times does ahabaldinejad have to say he wants to destroy israel for you to stop appeasing him?
14. People wrongly assume
Andras Bereny ,   Kfar Tapuah, Samaria   (11.06.07)
I think people wrongly assume that who makes it into government is intelectually superior. Listen to this: "I believe that if the flow of weapons and the (rocket and mortar) shootings continue, sooner or later, we will be forced to initiate a broad offensive in the Strip." BBB! Bravo Bright Barak!
15. #13
here ,   now   (11.06.07)
OK show me your erudition. List all the times that the Iranian regime has said that it wants to destroy Israel. I want primary source evidence. I want to verify for myself that it's true so please show me the evidence. I want to know when he said it, where he said it and the context in which he said it. And I don't want a translation I want evidence in original language.
16. #11 LOL!
er ,   der!   (11.06.07)
"it's okay the Israelis should attack gaza" Um, your name is Mati? so therefore = YOU ARE ISRAELI!
17. #15
not quite here now   (11.06.07)
Are you saying that ahabal-dinejad is lying each time he says in parsi that he wants to destroy israel? Just google ahmadinejad/threats/israel and educate yourself on the thousands of articles written on the subject. And if you still don't believe amadinejad is serious....well...I guess a passport is needed to enter your brain.
18. So what? Israel has been nuclear since 1956
Linda ,   USA   (11.06.07)
19. BEYOND COMPREHENSION
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (11.06.07)
this is one of the many articles that will be published by different media to keep the Nuclear issue on Iran alive.Few months back we were told that there is no way in which Iran can produce a nuclear bomb before 2010.What happened?Have they incresed the number of centrfuge recently?Have they gone beyond the 5% enrichment to make that possible? Where are we then?
20. Hope,somebody clears Iranian nuke production unit by Feb '08
KMR ,   Middle East   (11.06.07)
World must watchout on how long Musharraf of Pakistan stays in power. Any coup at this stage in Pakistan will sure give the control of nukes to Mad-Mullahs of the world.
21. Israel a Bigger Threat to Regional Peace Than Iran
Mr. Knowitall ,   Frostbite Falls, MN   (11.06.07)
While Israel will always claim that its wanton aggression is due to its enemies wanting to wipe it out, there is no evidence of anything but those who Israel hates defending themselves against Israeli and US threats of aggression towards them, and history, and recent Israeli violations of the sovereignty of its neighbors, proves their concerns are valid. Israel has already developed its own clandestine nuclear weapons program, so it is not unusual for them to suspect that everyone else has the same illegal ambitions as they themselves did, but there is simply no evidence that Iran wants anything but civilian power and security. The IAEA should turn its attention to Israel's rogue nuclear weapons program to prove their is no anti-Arab bias by applying sanctions upon Israel until it signs the NPT, suspends its own enrichment and allows inspections of its own secret nuclear facilities as Israel continues to prove itself a clear and present danger to world peace.
22. Israeli Deterrance On Life Support!
Adina Kutnicki ,   US   (11.06.07)
The same rubbish every day emanates out of the idiot sevant Israeli leadership. While they watch Israel's enemies grow EXPONENTIALLY, their leadership not only dithers, but negotiates ! more land surrenders. If the enemy did not realize that Israel was on the run before, they surely do so now. Israeli deterrance is barely on life support. The situation is CRITICAL!
23. Iranian regime is strong because internal affairs aren't bad
Damir ,   Russia   (11.06.07)
for that Iranian citizens will forgive many things to gov't. And I perceive the 'Death to US, death to Israel' slogan as kind of mantra, like the world communistic revolution in Soviet Union. What I'm concerned with is the arms leakage to terrorist groups.
24. Mr. Don't know crap
Jellybean ,   Chicago   (11.07.07)
Please post on Al-Jazeera where you are wanted!
25. Mr. Don't know crap
Jellybean ,   Chicago   (11.07.07)
I have read your posts and what I don't understand is if you hate Jews and Israel so much WHY POST ON AN ISRAELI WEBSITE!!!!
26. #10
Jellybean ,   Chicago   (11.07.07)
Are you on Crack!! Look how many times Iranians say "Death to America and Death to Israel" on a daily basis! You say its their culture? if it is..so much for the peace loving Iranians! They don;t have me fooled..and if you are an American..and you like the fact that Iranians burn our flag and chant us death..then please go to Iran..our troops should not have to die for your freedom especially for an idiot.
27. Damir
Jellybean ,   Chicago   (11.07.07)
It is good to see that someone from Russia have a brain. Your concerns are correct. There are two reasons why the International community does not want Iran to have such a weapon.. 1. Iran has no respect for human life and will nuke Israel 2. Giving these weapons to other terrorist countries such as Islamic terrorists, Syria etc.. I hope you now understand where the west is coming from.
28. Iran & USA working together
George ,   USA   (11.07.07)
The grand design is coming out little by little. The whole idea is to put as much pressure on Israel as possible to get them to give up enuf land and make other concessions to Palestinians. Iran's whole nuclear saga is the most important part of this strategy, namely pressure Israel to do what it would have never had done before. That has been the design ever since 9-11. USA wants peace in ME but it does not want to look too harsh on Israel for obvious domestic reasons hence Iran is used to make Israel an offer they can not refuse.
29. George USA
Jerry ,   USA   (11.07.07)
No! it's George who ius on Crack.
30. What is this world waiting for?
Jerry Johnstone ,   Houston, TX   (11.07.07)
It is one for any country to have weapons to defend themselves. However, it is entirely another problem when these countries, of Iran, Syria, and the terror groups they support financially, and arm themselves to attack and destroy another. Those another(s), are the United States and Israel. They have said it openly, that they want to destroy both of our countries. The terror groups in Iraq, are using Iranian made explosives and weapons to kill our troops. Their rockets kill your people. What part of connecting these dots, is a problem? As I have said before many times, there is no talking or reasoning with these countries or terror groups. Iran has sped up it nuclear program if anything, it is obvious what ever there saying is NOT working. It is simple, they are buying time to build their own bombs ...to kill us. They want to die for this cause ...so lets help them. We have TWO choices, Victory or Death ... I would believe the first is the better option. God Bless, Jerry Johnstone
