Leah C ,   Maryland, USA   (02.18.08)
What's the use in complaining to the UN? They don't care about the attrocities that the Israelis suffer at the hands of their Arab neighbors. They turn a blind eye and only pay attention when Israel retaliates.
2. what a stupid useless remarks by livni!
mira ,   israel   (02.18.08)
what is the use of protesting to a useless toothless organisation like thE un. most of the world is happy and maybe in agreement with irAN comments. when are we going to realise that most of the world is against us and do what we have to do to survive. NUKE IRAN NOW!!!
3. iranian rant
whitney ,   texas   (02.18.08)
What can we as Americans do? Again the UN allows itself to serve as a forum for war, by blithely accepted Iran's countless threats as normal behavior. Whitney
4. Israel shouldn't respond to "say" anything
Ypip ,   Canada   (02.19.08)
Listen while it rots and eats itself.
5. Iranian Statement
Dementia Preacox ,   U.S.A..   (02.19.08)
I know I speak for myself , but looking at this statement in laments terms,it sounds like the Revolutionary guards are offering Hizbo Nuclear materials. "A cancerous Growth" ? a irradiated treatment"? Now I speak for my country. Give one microgram of nuclear material to Hizbo and your entire country will become a giant piece of scorched Black Glass. Keep Pushing it.The world tires of Iran's games.
6. BBC went gently on the Iranian phraseology
Alan ,   SA   (02.19.08)
How do the BBC maintain their so called "credibility" if it adjusts its reporting to suit.
7. Apartheid Israel
Campbell ,   London   (02.19.08)
I agree with commander,the Zionist regime will collapse just like the apartheid regime in South Africa
8. good luck with that
MK ,   Atlanta,USA   (02.19.08)
That'll show 'em Olmert................. you pussy.
9. #7 Campbell wants a world where Iran plays a freehand?
Scott   (02.19.08)
Firstly you and your nincompoop friends have absolutely no idea what "apartheid" is. You really dont. Secondly, you will live to see the day where Iran confronts the world, not just Israel. Enjoy your soft little life while you can. The regimes whose tails you lick so enthusiastically will show you and the world what REAL TYRANNY is once they have the capacity. They'll take you out too, dhummy.
10. WHY IS IT OK FOR THESE PEOPLE TO SAY THIS STUFF?
Scott   (02.19.08)
Another disgraceful display from our peace-loving , friendly nuclear aspirants. The world should take special note of the rhetoric that is steadily getting more bellicose as time goes on. They are just champing at the bit to get their bomb so they can exert themselves all over and - forget about the big , bad USA - show us how proper tyranny should be done. There is NO doubt that if Israel's leaders were to ever utter such a remark, the world world would be down around her ears in protest. OF COURSE ITS OK FOR ARABS AND PERSIANS TO DO IT THOUGH.
11. #7
Sarah ,   Australia   (02.19.08)
I agree with No 7, Campbell from London. Israel is going down
12. * ISRAEL NEED TO ACT NOT TOO TALK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Avinu ,   Galut   (02.19.08)
UN is not friend of Israel . Israel need to act not to talk .
13. #7
Jeff ,   new york   (02.19.08)
I only add that just as the British Empire disappeared, London as a power shall also. Israel shall prosper.
14. Analogy is Not Really That Far Off.
Lev Bronstein ,   Moscow, Russia   (02.19.08)
After watching Israel's illegal occupations (infections) slowly destroying the Palestinians people (the body) with ever expanding illegal settlements (the cancer), I can certainly see where the Iranain General would see the comparison between Israel and a disease.
15. BBC
Michael ,   New York, USA   (02.19.08)
Why does anyone care what the BBC says...? Has anyone ever noticed that on the BBC website there is access for Arabic readers and speakers, yet NONE, NONE for Hebrew? Go figure. If they won't even allow Israelis who don't speak or read Englsih or Arabic to undertand what they are saying then why is everyone so concerned about what they are meaning or writing? BBC is in the hands of, (NOT THE POCKET OF), but in the hands of the British deniers, Arab appeasers.... so what's new? Chamberlain lives and repeats himself.
16. if the UN has any remaining credibility
jared ,   orlando US   (02.19.08)
they will rebuke the iranian comments harshly and quickly
17. Campbell, your lack of understanding is blatant
jared ,   orlando   (02.19.08)
the arab demographics of israel dont support your assertion the breakdown of ethnicities of israelis themselves, dont support your assertion the overall israeli support of a two state solution dont support your claim the claim of apartheid also completely ignores the fundamentally negative role the pals play in the region, and that is the violence and terror motivated by hatred which stems from deep seated insecurity and socio-cultural immaturity. Violence, esp indiscriminate violence is their any and all means of addressing their grievances. Many , even the leaders, support a policy of the annihilation of israel and the jews. The opposite side has no such position whatsoever. And, it is these tenets which compel and impose a need for separation. That is not apartheid. That is not the plight of the south africans. Period.
18. # 7 Keep dreaming
Arul   (02.19.08)
Hey Campbell, Have you ever read the Bible. If not, shame on you. I won't blame you, Instead of going to church you go to Pubs, and Islam is taking over your country. Instead of understanding what God says, you are now brainwashed by BBC and the fanatics living there. Wake up! Wake up! Go and read what God says about Hiss prince Israel. Israel is there to stay. All those who come against her will be crushed.
19. complaint to the UN
chaim ,   miami beach usa   (02.19.08)
what I do not understand just why file a complaint to the UN when they are of the same opinion did not this same body pass a resolution equating Zionism to Racism does not this same UN Human Rights pass a resolution condemning Israel for Human rights violations and by non other then Libya, Sudan, Iran and all other countries that has denied their own citizens the ability to speak freely. am I surprised not in the least bit that is because the current leadership governing Israel is afraid to act by their own shadow.
20. Why you agree with yourself
Ypip ,   Canada   (02.19.08)
Isn't entirely remarkable. Your a Cambell residing in London.
21. #6
Michael   (02.19.08)
Because the BBC is a bunch of anti-semitic, anti-Israel bigots. They have for years demonstrated one-sided reporting when it comes to the middle east, and not in favor of Israel
22. un complaint
geroge   (02.19.08)
Olmert has reduced israel to crybabies. Why not tell iran that it will be viciously hurt if it strikes israel. Say it and shut up.
23. TO NO AVAIL
chet johnson ,   pickens south car   (02.19.08)
I would not even care about their rantings and ravings-the jews have the deed to israel signed by god himself--and there is nothing ANYONE can do about it----let the world believe what it wants
24. #7 - Put your burka back on!
Laurence ,   Santa Ana, CA USA   (02.19.08)
Does your man know that you are speaking/typing out of turn? Londonistan doesn't permit women or infidels to express themselves. And I expect Israel to outlast the UK, because even peace loving Jews know when to stop the multi-culti nonsense and protect what's theirs. You Brits, on the other hand are a riot away from sharia law implementation. Pity the fall of the British Empire.
25. Iran is in trouble
Jack ,   Baltimore   (02.19.08)
It seems they have run out goats. This scum seems to hump the same goat as Mahmoudy. UN needs for sure to look at this.
26. Very effective move
(02.19.08)
Maybe the UN will deploy some winos with blue helmets to monitor the situation...
27. Livni sounds like a two-year old child
Rich ,   Toronto, Canada   (02.19.08)
She makes a big deal out of everything someone says? Please grow up!
28. Nuclear Iran.
Jean Van Daem ,   Metula   (02.19.08)
Nuclearization of Iran must be discussed in the context of the Islamic Revolution, which was dubbed by Ayatollah Khomeini not merely as a domestic anti-Shah upheaval in Iran, but as a global Islamic movement designed to extricate Islam from its submissive torpor and launch it to prominence as a world power. In this pursuit, Iran has become one of Israel's most vehement enemies, framing its grievances around religious doctrine and anti-Semitic invective, making conflict with the Jewish state all the more insoluble. Indeed, injecting these elements into an already difficult political situation makes finding solutions seemingly impossible due the absolute demands made by defenders of their faith who refuse to negotiate or compromise as described at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/01/nuclear-power-and-anti-semitism.html

The only regime going down is England. You have sold your soul to the devil! May allah be with you! hahahah
30. #13 - Jeff - And may I add...
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (02.19.08)
England will go down because of the Islamist presence!!
