32. My Israelis friend
sam ,   tehran,iran   (06.20.08)
Although I am against Iranian regime and I am fighting against torturer regime like Iranian regime but I believe that War is not solution to solve any problem we should not be silly you know if war happen then politician will never get hurt because at last they will going to shelter or hiding their self in secure place so Just both people from both sides (nation) will become victim and it is disasters I suggest to world to arrest Ahamdnejad instead of making disasters for Israelis and Iranian Any how may be politician suggested war as final solution but civil people need peace and security so there is no any different between Israelis and Iranian they want peace instead of N-bomb because Peace is their right I am very sorry about some politician in Middle East if they think war is art of politician, actually peace is art of civil people
33. Fabrications and tales from a sinking Media Empire
Jake   (06.20.08)
The Media Empire is simply resorting to sensationalism as an act of desperation in its days of discredit. The media's raison-d'etre has been tall tales and fabrications about Israel, to provide the consumer with plenty of shock-and-awe in print format, in the absense of hard facts. This is a field which has been pioneered by that great author of mythologies, Seymour Hersh, and less skilled story-tellers are now producing cheap pathetic imitations at the New York Times, BBC, and CNN. This non-story, which informs us about Israeli planes on exercise, is intended to make a mountain out of a molehill and raise a storm in a tea cup, as though the Israeli Air Force has not been carrying out training exercises in the eastern Mediterranean for decades. Iran's nuclear facilities and sites are scattered over 100's of locations, sometimes far under ground, and would require weeks of carpet bombings with B-52's replete with bunker-busting bombs to be severely damaged, not a fleet of F-16's. The value of the exercises is not a warning of an actual attack, but a warning to Iran that Israel is prepared to defend itself and that the option of force is on the table. As long as Ahmedinejad is calling for the destruction of Israel, it is Israel's legitimate right to demonstrate its ability to use aggressive force and devastating action if necessary, over an existential matter. But this does not mean that Israel has selected the option to actually strike Iran and be labelled as the aggressor. This should have been obvious to anyone following Olmert's weak decisions, like when he had to choose between a generalized assault on Gaza and a ceasefire with Hamas, and chose the latter.
34. Damn straight we're rehearsing. And we want all the world to
see it too!! ,   Rueben, Israel   (06.20.08)
35. Israel neither affirmed nor denied the report
observer   (06.20.08)
because it thought that the suspense of Syrian attack gave Israel a credit.
36. Mahmood from Londonistan
Baby ,   Eurabia   (06.20.08)
. AND WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU,BABY....#24 Who exactly is "we" Mahmud from Londonistan? You mean "you", safely tucked away in the UK, while you & your 20,000 Islamo-Nazi friends scheme on killing women and children? You will be punished soon.
37. Ahmedinejad should conduct his own drill
Jake   (06.20.08)
on slipping his head into a noose and standing on a platform, and then scattering himself into a million pieces over an undisclosed location in the Mediterranean.
38. #23
(06.21.08)
They're actually "Israeli kids." Jewish kids are more like the ones who used to get beaten up after Hebrew school by the neighborhood bullies.
39. Israel will be the extermintor
Israel ,   Las Vegas, Nevada   (06.21.08)
No, not even close to the same. Iran is an fanatical Fundamentalist regime and Syria is a culture onto its own, completely different history and composition. No wonder British are so clueless about the middle east.
40. BABY EURABIA.........................#36
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (06.22.08)
