Peres: Iran wants Mideast religious bloc    Hagit Klaiman
1. This is the result of the Oslo Gang
And, Haverim the King of that group is Peres. Now this guy realize that the Policy of Oslo is a major Catastrophy for Israel. Kind of late, No ! ?

2. Nobody Cares Shimon
The British could care less if Israel is menaced by nuclear Iran.

3. So...
So how is that any different than "Israel" wanting to be a Jewish state. In fact it seems like an action/re-action, cause/effect relationship. All religous nuts are the same equal opposites.
Mike Jones ,   Washington DC   (11.19.08)
4. Israel seems to follow the same trend
ME is becoming a hot bed of religious fanatics in both camps. But hey, religious nutshells really deserve each other!

5. The radical Islamics do want a religious block, a Crescent
from Indonesia to Morocco. God has other plans and when the clash of all clashes happens at Armageddon, the JEWISH Messiah will deliver God's land and people from the invaders. What a great day that will be when Michael the Archangel stands up for Israel and defeats their enemies. Most people think God is a God of love. He is love, and mercy and truth. But God is also a man of war Exodus 15:3 tells us.

6. #3 Mike
Erm, there is no coercion with regards to religion in Israel. You can be as secular or religious as you like there.
Nice Bloke ,   Rochdale   (11.20.08)
7. right #3 except that neither are religious nor jew

8. Not quite true, Peres
Iran wants to flatten Israel first, then control the ME. Religion is just an excuse to dominate.

9. Deaf people like Peres better than hearing people.

10. ACtually, Mike are you kidding?
you cannot possibly be drawing an analogy between the leaders of iran and peres.... On your other issue, regarding the issue of the jewish state, your question reveals a true ignorance of stated iranian intentions in the middle east
jared ,   orlando   (11.20.08)
11. #3 mike how can you have a logical
opinion when you obviously have no idea what goes on in Israel, no reality, no valid information or knowlege about this subject. there are non-religous nuts that spout off ignorance with strong opinions!

12. “Possession of nuclear weapons to be one of Iran's top goals
On February 14, 2005, Ayatollah Mohammad Baqer Kharrazi, secretary general of the Iranian Hezbollah, declared, "We are able to produce atomic bombs and we will do that. We shouldn't be afraid of anyone. The United States is not more than a barking dog." And, on May 29, 2005, Hojjat al-Eslam Gholam Reza Hasani, the supreme leader's personal representative to the province of West Azerbaijan, declared possession of nuclear weapons to be one of Iran's top goals. "An atom bomb . . . must be produced," he said. "That is because the Quran has told Muslims to 'get strong and amass all the forces at your disposal.'" More at (3 parts): http://xrl.us/owrbs

13. Real occupation - UK style.
Half way around the world lies a fine example of British hypocrisy - the Chagos Archipelago, which London refers to as the British Indian Ocean Territory. Both Mauritius and the Seychelles have strong claims to it as their own, but that didn't stop Britain from forcibly expelling all the inhabitants between 1965 and 1971 to make way for a military base it wanted to lease to the US. And though the Chagossians, as they are known, have repeatedly won court cases against the British government demanding their "right of return," the Brits will have none of it, and have largely left the islands' former residents to fend for themselves in exile.

14. the true threat of iran

16. #6, #7
While there are "secular jews" in Israel, the govt. and policy is jewish which moves it to support further settlements and aborts peace efforts with palis. To argue that its secular and to minimize the role of the jewish religion while maintaining the racial identify is a shame because we're then favoring people by their genetic makeup, something a civil society should reject just like we reject white suprimecists.

17. IT'S THE MULLAH'S STUPID!!!
when will we get this right, it's the ruling regime that will destroy Israel given the chance, Iran is simply a vessel to achieve "their grandest ambitions," when the mullahs fall Iranians can be dealt with, until that time, they're like zombies, under an evil spell, they want to be free but need the proper motivation, NOT a nuclear bomb

18. Peres: Iran wants Mideast religious bloc
Peres wants a leftist mideast block and the leftist is by far the worst of the two
Mustafa ,   Palestine   (11.20.08)
19. A Mixed Up Man
There is nothing wrong in "religious" or religion - except in the eyes of someone who denies G-d. What this old man is afraid of is Islam. He shouldn't be, but in his ignorance is. In his quest to stop the spread of Islam, he besmirches all religions including Judaism and Christianity.

20. What are you going to do about it, Shimon?
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (11.20.08)
21. I wonder why......
The other part of Peres' speech was not reported in Ynet although it was in Haaretz. The part where Peres declares the impotence of the Israeli government by tellling the British that evacuating illegal settlements will lead to civil war.That, in effect, the settlers can do whatever they please. Why hasn't this been reported?
Mikesailor ,   Miami, FL   (11.20.08)
22. No News Reports of visit, speech, etc
Maybe, I am thick, could I find any news reports on Peres's speech.......nope, nothing, nada, zilch. Was this an undercover visit or is it a case that we (The BBC in particular) do not want to disturb the natives.
Silvana ,   Glasgow   (11.22.08)
23. Rain and Shine
Yadda yadda yadda, still the attacks use illegal weapons - how does this demonstrate any LOVE for life? There is no light of reason for Israel or Palestinians through bombs and bloodshed Also, as suggested, the UK will not take an Iranian 'threat' seriously, even if it were nuclear - Israel is the nuclear power in the middle east....fact. You can by weapons from anywhere in the world, UK let you have £18 million worth in the first 3 months of 2008. No party or state beleives in peace because it is a human concept - the state is a vehicle for control and dominance. whatever country you reside in.
