91. This is the article that every muslim have to read.........
Jam ,   Indonesian islands   (12.24.07)
Israel is planning nuke all the muslim nations.
92. #87. I feel your pain.
Persisan CAT   (12.24.07)
Your spiritual journey was hijacked by the Zionist jehadis just the same as their "Islamic" counter-parts hijacked Islam to kill people.
93. #74 Israel Israeli - You got that right!
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (12.24.07)
If these people wanted to be "christ-like" - to be like Jesus - they would be circumcised, eat kosher, keep the Sabbath (on Saturday), fast on Yom Kippour, have New Years on Rosh Hashanah (not next week), etc. just as Jesus did his whole life. And that Jew whose birthday they celebrate wouldn't have been caught dead in a church full of statues either.

95. My question is...WHY ARE YOU STILL SURPRISED?
Armageddon ,   Canada   (12.24.07)
When you post things like this, how can you NOT expect Iran to aggressively pursue Nuclear Weapons? If the average Iranian has an IQ of even 50, they would know that under such threats they MUST obtain Nuclear Weapons. You keep showing threats to their security, and expect them not to react. If you for whatever reason think there will be around 200-800 thousand dead israelie's...you're smoking something of a much higher quality than myself. Even if Iran did not have Nuclear weapons, they have some of the worlds BEST Chemical and Biological weapons. When used in cities, they kill plenty. And then you have to remember the 10's of thousands of missiles already in the hand of Syria and Hezbollah, ready to defend Iran. You say: "Israel could drop a bomb on them too." That is preposterous! You are saying that Israel would use NUCLEAR WEAPONS in its own backyard? Do you not understand that it will make the land uninhabitable? JEWS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LIVE THERE ANY LONGER. This is all Bull crap reporting that does little but make us understand Why Iran would want Nuclear Weapons, and how more and more people keep referring to this 'Israeli Nuclear stockpile."
96. D.C. You're blinded by Jew-hatred that you cant think.
(12.24.07)
Antisemitism is a destructive mental disease. Get help.
97. Iran will be defeated, but the Bible in Daniel chapter 8
Rivkah   (12.24.07)
and Ezekiel chapter 38 that Israel will not fight that war alone. A Grecian (gentile) he-goat from the ends of the earth (UN) with a notable horn (USA) between its eyes will subdue the ram with two horns, the larger horn last (Media-Persia or Iraq-Iran). Iran and Russia and some other Moslem nations and a land caller Gomer anciently, will attack Israel and also go up (north) to the land of unwalled villages to take a spoil (North America). The war should be over quickly because God helps Israel with an earthquake and a plague that melts the eyes in Northern Israel to destroy most of the invading armies. Israel uses their equipment for fuel for SEVEN years and it take seven months to bury the dead.
98. #93 Terry,there is an important point to clarify
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (12.24.07)
in this christian issue. The problem,as I understand ,justly lies in the fact that christians do considerer yeshu a jew,therefore considering themselves somehow jews,since they believe they have a covenant-or something like that-with that person.That's the big trouble for us,because they believe their is the right judaism and not ours.They believe the covenant is with them and not with us;the same happens with muslims. In my opinion,this idea of the "jewishness"of yeshu should be not stressed,but rather shown the way we really see it.It is said in our tradition that this man,yeshu,was simply born jew,but turned into an idolatre.He is more associeted to Essav,who was born a jew,but wasn't actually. islam as well as chritianism are religions created eras after we received the Torah and are intented to replace Judaism,since they saw in Judaism a mean of power to be usurped.They are fake religions.

I donĀ“t think that this infromation comes from the CIA, apparently from some independet research agency or something like that. There are not only Jews in the American government & governmental institutions, get rid of this stereotypic views! What I am trying to point out is that Israel had had it much easier to maintain peace and stability in the region without this double standard superpower, which proclaimed itself as god..
100. Olmert will be the only one left in Israel
zionist forever   (12.24.07)
Other than Olmert and the rest of his corupt regime in their billion dollar bunker under construction while there is no money to strenghen buildings in sderot. So other than Olmert who is going to be around in Israel to survive to rebuilt the economy which would be able to recover better than Irans. The arab/Persian coaltion sounds like there wont be much of a Middle East left to recover. This is like saying that during the cold war where both the US & the Soviet Union had enough nukes to wipe each other out the American economy would have a better chance at recovery than the Soviet one. What idiots make these statistics?
101. would Olmert want a proportional Israeli response
zionist forever   (12.24.07)
There seesmt to be no mention of radiactive fallout effects. Israel has tactical nukes which can limit fall out so long term Iranian casulties who have suffered from radioactive fall out would be limited. Iran though would only have basic nukes where there is no control over fallout. It also would nt surprise me if Israel didnt retaliate to an Iranian nuke with a neuclear attack of its own because Olmert in his neuclear bunker would be saying to himself would a neuclear retaliation be proportional and if Israel doesnt retaliate could it lead to a peace process with Iran because Israel has shown it doesnt want to hurt the Iranian people. Maybe instead he could order the dead Israeli pilots to carry out a taregetd killing of Ahmadinijad to show he is the only one in Iran Israel has a problem with. If this report is some justifictaion for a reason why there is no need for America to do anythiing about Iran then its a pretty poor one.
102. 16# Don't you mean you consider all others to be animals
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (12.24.07)
if they aren't Muslim. It's funny how Muslims who stole the Jews lands centuries ago, are so adept at putting words in the Jews mouths. Especially the words that the muslims repeat over and over behind closed doors. All the khaffers are the same as cows. It's okay to kill them for Allah. Some of your brothers in Britain were caught on tape saying this. I've seen the video. The Jews aren't running around telling the other 13 million Jews to wipe out the non Jews. Only one billion Muslims have that as their goal. Quit lying to everyone about Jewish intentions, when they are really your own Muslim goals.
103. 18# You forgot about the 7 million replacement players
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (12.24.07)
in the USA and the rest of the world. The Jews won't be entirely wiped out. They'll field another team.
104. Iran must be armed. And it will be.
Mohammad Reza ,   Tehran/Iran   (12.24.07)
It is exactly the sort of comments you see in this site that betrays the true nature of Israels supporters. It fully justifies, in fact, it makes it absolutely critical for Iran to have its own nuclear weapons to defend herself from the Israelis aggression. Given the mentality I see in these forums, I am in full support of Iran and all Arab nations having atomic weaponry , to stop Israel from bulling them and to urge that nation on to the negotiation table. It is only a matter of time before this vision is archived.
105. Zionists are truly a mad bunch of people
Mohammad Reza ,   Tehran / Iran   (12.24.07)
Such an attack will change the geopolitical and economic landscape to an extent that even if Israel did in fact "weather" the attack it will never get back to "normality". The attack will cause energy shortages across the world, for which Israel will and should be directly blamed for. The attack will make all Arab nations determined to obtain nuclear weapons, only to defend themselves and it will exponentially increase the anti-zionist movement, not just in the Muslim world but across the world. It is sad to see those people you have suffered most in history are willing to cause the gravest of sufferings rather than negotiate. It is almost like an abused child who becomes the abuser as an adult.
106. You are right ,#104
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (12.24.07)
"It is only a matter of time before this vision is archived".ARCHIVED!
107. Actually 57# The US government is telling
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (12.24.07)
you that the Jews will win it. Why don't you move to the Middle East with all your terrorist Muslim biuddies. They aren't your friends if you don't become a Muslim. Allah gives them the right to kill your non believing khaffer self. They just act like they are your friends. When they go Sharia Law on you.....they'll cut off your head just like every other infidel. You give them lots of hugs and kisses before they snap on you. One billion radical muslims......13 million Jews who don't shove their religion down your throat by the sword. And you hate the Jews? You obviously can't see a threat coming at you if it's standing right in front of your face.
108. 87# You returned because the rest of the world tryed to wipe
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (12.24.07)
you from the planet. If you weren't such a left wing wimp, you would realize that the world isn't finished, and these so called rascist right wingers, are the only ones looking out for the well being of the Jews. Go hug your Muslim buddies who plot to kill you every day of the week. They aren't rascists. The Jews who realize, and tell you that they are plotting to kill you, are the rascists. When the Grand Mufti holds your hand and walks you into the gas chamber......you go tell your fellow right wingers they are the rascists. Naive optimists never see the bullet coming. They always kill the messenger and call him a warmonger or rascist. The Jews need much more liberalism. The Hitlers of the world can't be effective without you.
109. 104# Don't you mean the Iranians need the weapons
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (12.24.07)
to finish what they have expressed publicly to the world. That they want the Jews out of the Middle East. Isn't it the Iranian President who is bullying the entire world into kicking the Jews out of the Middle East? The Jews have enough Nuclear Weapons to splatter the Middle East and have had them for years. Your comments that the Jews are a threat are a joke. They would of already used the weapons on Iran if they were the threat in the Middle East. While you use Arab and Persian doublespeak, telling everyone the Jews are the threat......you then try to get weapons of mass destruction to finish the Jews off, and accomplish your goals of ridding the Middle East of the Jews. Don't come onto these forums and tell everyone the Jews are the ones who are the threat. The country of Israel isn't telling everyone to kick the Iranians out of the Middle East. Try your misinformation on the Arabs and Persians. They believe anything you tell them as long as you blame it on a Jew. And if it involves killing an infidel for Allah......they are all for it. Religious rascism at its best.

first of all, what's a gsat? do you mean GRE? have you been asleep for the past 62 years? the way to prevent bad people such as the gang running iran from doing bad things is to make their chance of success small and their chance of overwhelming retaliation high. of course we need to stop them from getting nuclear weapons.
111. Israel-Iran nuclear war article today
Harold Burbank ,   Canton CT USA   (12.24.07)
This article is utter madness. Russia would attack Israel immediately if it attacked Iran. No one wins.

I have only one thing to say: When G-d wants to punish a person, it makes him mad. When the G-d wants to punish nation, it ... gives the oil to it.

116. #105 Mohammad & Other Moslems
Squalid Ibn Harman ,   Qtir   (12.25.07)
What the hell do you expect? We have been persecuted for 2000+ years. Pals began their masscacres and terror nearly 100 years ago. We had 6 MILLION murdered while PAL Haj Amin Al Husseini collaborated with Hitler. We have had numerous war since, Intifadas, terror from all the PAL terror groups. Your nut case Monkeyboy has publicly called for Israel to be wiped off the planet and now he is trying to get nuclear weapons to be able to accomplish it. The guy is just crazy enough to launch a nuclear attack on us. If we wanted to launch a nuclear attack on any Arab/Moslem country we could have do so a long time ago. We destroyed the nuclear facility in Iraq and the world condemn us then later thanked us during Gulf War 1. You try to condemn Israel but you can't fool the world. Everyone knows that Arabs/Moslems ARE BEHIND ALMOST ALL TERROR IN THE WORLD. Beyond that they make us lies like Jews not going to work at WTC on 9/11 or twist the truth that Israel was defeated in Gaza, Jenin, Lebanon, etc. We on the other hand have given the world its moral compass with the law of the Torah. And you know what the Quran says about the people of the Book. We have contributed to science, technology, arts, etc. But we now have learned how to deal with terror and terrorists. We are leading this battle and we will destroy them. If Iran attacks us we will destroy them as well. Force is the only thing Arabs/Moslems understand so be very sure that if we are attacked we won't threaten but we will totally destroy Iran and anyone else who attacks us.

zionist forever   (12.25.07)
If zionists are a truly mad bunch of people whatr about the monkey and the mullahs running Iran? Israel would not be the one to take the first strike, its had nukes for approxomatly 40 years now and never threatened to wipe any of its naighbors off the the map. Its the mad ,en running Iran that need to be brought under control and a good reason for either Israel or the US to destroy your neuclear program before the monkey and mullahs decide to start a neuclear war.
118. re:104
zionist forever   (12.25.07)
Mohammed Your post is proof that either Israel or America must destroy your neuclear program before the mad monkey & mullahs decide to use them because Allah has sent them a vision that they should start a neuclear war. Time to stop playing games in the UN and send in those bombers wipe out all hopes of Iran ever becoming a neuclear power.
119. First, this article is insane.
Che Vive ,   Ghetto Beach, U.S.A.   (12.25.07)
Second, the article is nothing more than a way to defuse Israeli fears of an Iranian bomb which the U.S. and Israeli governments may well have to resign themselves to the future existence of. Third, the amount of radiation released by 200 Israeli nuclear warheads in the Mideast might preclude the long term survival of virtually any regime, including Israel. It would certainly guarantee retaliation by Syria, Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iraq (what's left of it), Egypt, and every other country devastated by the fallout. Think about the Chernobyl cloud, which affected several nations. Multiply it by at least 200. That's hardly neighborly. Fourth, there is no precedent for pre-emptive nuclear war. Attacking Iran with a massive nuclear strike as suggested in one or two of these talkbacks would merit violent retaliation from even neutral parties who cannot abide such a step being taken. The world cannot afford to tolerate such indiscriminate and deranged behavior from any regime. Fifth, how well would the IAF defend the country when all your pilots are suffering from radiation sickness after a gentle breeze wafts a radioactive haze back in your direction? And just how dosed would they get flying at high speed through thick radioactive clouds? Finally, stop fantasizing about the apocalypse. You've clearly been associating with John Hagee and his Christian evangelical loonies too much. They're a bad influence and you really should try to make better friends.
120.  is the u.s.going to act against iran?before israel is nuked
debra ,   usa   (12.25.07)
we, the usa, are the big boys in town. we have 6,000 nuclear weapons, but we lack the strength of purpose to help protect the 6 million jews of israel. we are letting them face the unthinkable--their nuclear annilation. these jews are as alone as the jews of europe facing hitler. america, where are you?
