31. Waste of time, iranians love ack-dumb-ajudhead.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (03.20.09)
32. Thank you Mr. Peres
Behzad ,   New York   (03.20.09)
and happy spring to you.
33. Peace in my lifetime..
richard kotick ,   Ocidental World   (03.20.09)
I support this message, as I certainly believe that unless we engage with Iran we will not obtain equilibrium in this world. However, as a preface to this engagement (on a more serious level, less ostentatious), we need to resolve the Palestinian issue. Us Jews have been persecuted since antiquity and so, out of all people we should be the vanguards in the cause of Palestinian equality. I am for peace in Iran, Palestine, and Israel. My Jewish ethos compel me to state for the record, that the against the blockade of Gaza, and the immediate renewal of negotiations. Let Peace guide us, as we are all of the Abrahamic tradition !!!!
34. Ak, 10, When you look at how much the average Iranian
Darren ,   Oakland, CA   (03.20.09)
supports "The Revolution" (which is practically nil, from what I understand) and combine that with- a) the fact that most Iranians are fiercely proud of their nation and will support it, right or wrong; and b) relatively rosy Jewish relations with pre-Islamic Iran- this is really the only logical strategy Peres can take at this point. Convincing the Iranian people of Zionism's legitimacy is absolutely futile at this point in time. If we look at the events in Syria during Summer '07, a strike on Bushehr in the near future is highly, highly likely and the best Peres can do is begin the process of damage control before the strike so as to prevent an all-out war of "Mutually Assured Destruction". Brace yourself, Ak, the ticking time-bomb is about to go off.
35. Iran
Mo ,   Belfats, UK   (03.20.09)
Is Peres trying to copy Obama in this regard? I don't see any point talking to them.
36. you old fool don't you realize he is your bitter enemy
chaim schonbrun ,   brooklyn ny   (03.20.09)
this old fool who brought the oslo disaster upon israel with the result of over 1000 men women and children butchered by the murderous terorists,now wants to repeat this tragedy. this only proves once again that leftis'm is nothing but a severe mental disease,and it must be eradicated like a cancer,if not it will kill all of us
37. Let us join you, Mr. Peres, in your appeal to the Iranian
Nurit and Avner Shai ,   Holon, Israel   (03.20.09)
public.
38. Peres Appeals To Iranians
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (03.20.09)
Well he has to appeal to somebody I suppose.
39. Peres trying to knock some sense into iranian heads.
Efi ,   Washington DC   (03.20.09)
If they dont get it, they will get IT! Got it?! Shabatt Shalom Guys...
40.  #6 Suckers? no .Morons?, yes
Natan   (03.20.09)
Your problem is that you think people in Iran are suckers, No they are not suckers. They are just plain DUMB ASS MORONS
41. #6 Irani
Marco ,   Spain   (03.20.09)
Very well said!
42. #8 Iranian
Marco ,   Spain   (03.20.09)
Well said. God bless you!
43. Peres.....
Maco ,   Spain   (03.20.09)
Is that an admission of impotence? Hehehe what happened to all your bravados about bombing Iran back to the stone age? Did you finally realize that your very own existence is at stake? You could show good will by puttng on trial all those Israelis guilty of war crimes. Give the Palestinians their full rights including Jerusalem and the right of return for Palestinian refugees and then you can tape a message to the Iranian people.
44. IRAN is screwing its people just like HAMAS screws GAZA
Aaron ,   SF, USA   (03.20.09)
People who claim it is Israel that keeps Gazans from the necessities of life need to remember that the blockade started because terrorist attacks went up. Also, if Hamas truly cared about their own people they'd spend their money on building up Gaza, not transporting Qassams.
45. All of you talkbackers: Listen up.
Bruce Lee ,   his grave   (03.20.09)
You all are missing the point here. Peres is not begging and he is not a fool. He is simply relaying a message of peace, because this is what Israel really wants However, he is warning the Iranians with much sadness to heed to his appeal . Otherwise Israel is on its way to Iran. He is in fact saying: "Ïf you will be demolished in the near future, I have asked you to become friends but you did not listen."
46. Islamic Iran wants world Islam not little +big satans
Sam ,   Canada   (03.20.09)
Islamic Iran wants the world to be Islamic beginning with the little Satan, Israel, in its neighbourhood. The big Satan, USA, is a project for later. The Iranian general public will have to decide if they are willing to be fried (nuked) for trying to fulfill the aspirations of their demented leaders because that's where they are headed.
47. Every nation deserve their government,
e.m.Jordan is Palest ,   s.f   (03.20.09)
In 1979 when the those fanatic’s toke over of Shah the great dynasty Pahlavy regime, 99% 0f Iranian voted to that fanatic’s regime, They didn’t deserve that great dynasty which have brought for the first time since 7 century respect and civilization to Iran, and now let them enjoy with their chosen regime, By the way do not compare this nation with that great Persian Empire because they gave up that Persian culture to barbarian culture.
48. Sarah, New York, USA
(03.20.09)
What are you on trial for Sarah?
49. #30 Germano
Marco ,   Spain   (03.20.09)
I doubt very much that you are from Venzuela!
50. #39 Shanabat to you too!
(03.20.09)
51. To: No. 48
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (03.20.09)
No, no. There was a post at No. 4 to which I replied at No. 17. The initial post (No. 4) made an oblique reference to "trial by missile" -- at No. 27, TBer "stirfry" asked an incomprehensible irrelevant question ("stirfry" clearly refers to his brains) -- now you're picking up the ball and running with it. In short -- to answer your question, I have no idea what No. 27 is talking about. I don't think he does, either.
52. To #25
An Israeli   (03.20.09)
You know... Israel have earned 8 Nobel Prizes already... More interesting facts: Jews (0.02% of the world's popualtion) earned already more than 120 (I think 134) Nobel Prizes, Muslims - only 7 (Although they are about 25% of world's population) It means, 1 Jewish Nobel Prize winner, for ever 100,000 Jews. and, 1 Muslims Nobel Prize winner for every 171.5 million Muslims. I guess that's because the committee which is in charge on the prizes is "pro-Zionists" or something like that, right?
53. SARAH, New York City.
Moshe ,   Adalar, istanbul   (03.20.09)
Sarah in New York. My my, has anyone told you how much of an irksome wreckless paranoid hating fool you realy are. When you die, what impact will you have left on the world apart from the reels of hatred and bigotry you spit out on Ynet. Only God knows why you yourself 6000 miles away from the Middle East feel so much hatred and bitterness. Despite being aposed to the majority of comments from a wreckless far-right on this website, i am generally able to tolerate such nonsense but from you, i cant deal with you anymore. I suggest you go and actively fight Hamas yourself or perhaps even fly on your own plane and bomb Iran yourself instead of trying to use your propaganda to swing votes in your favor to any decent openminded and rational person. Your cause of hatred is misery and destruction and its people like yourself who give Israel and Jewish people a bad name. You dedicate your life to answering back to every last utterance against Israel instead of doing ANYTHING productive about it. As a proud Jew i simply tell you to really shut up and go about life the way g-d wants us to. DONT HATE. It appears you actually cant wait for a war to happen which is sooo convenient since you live light years away. Perhaps if you were a real Middle Eastern person then you wouldnt wish that, even on your neighbors. But no, you have no respect for your neigbors but simply wish to destroy any opposition around you so you can feed yourself with your gains which will only destroy you in the meanwhile...
54. #49 you are from bahrein not spain

Ypip ,   Canada   (03.21.09)
57. To: No. 53
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (03.21.09)
Thank you for your thoughts, Mussa. I shall give them all the thought they deserve.
58. To # 49,Al Marco Ya salam
e.m.Jordan is Palest ,   s.f   (03.20.09)
doubt very much that you are from Venzuela! But I have no doubt that you are from Al Spain the Islamic land and land of Anti-Semitisms, I m sure that you are aware your history
59. UM....PERES HAS THE SAME WEAPONS
sarah ,   new york   (03.21.09)
60. To Eric #14. Enlightened Does NOT Mean.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (03.21.09)
You say :” you (i.e. the State of Israel) cannot be called enlightened ..” Dear Eric, when Hamas et al fired 3,000 plus Kassam rockets and mortars (since the beginning of 2008 till December 26th) from the Gaza Strip unto UNARMED civilians of Sderot, other places in Israel -- it is the DUTY of Israel to punish Hamas et al. To punish means -- that the Government of the State of Israel is enlightened. IF the Government of Israel would not have punished Hamas et al (for the rocket attacks emanating from the Gaza Strip into Israel) -- it would have meant that the Government of Israel is NOT enlightened. So Eric, enlightened does NOT mean to keep receiving Kassam rockets (fired upon your UNARMED civilians for dozens of weeks on end) and NOT respond to it. Israel HAS to respond -- a civilized country WILL respond. You say :”.. committing war crimes against the innocent women and children.” During the 22 days of the Winter Gaza War -- 491 Hamas-et-al members, 800 family members of Hamas-et-al operatives and 126 innocent Gaza civilians died. To call THIS a war crime -- you must be kidding. To call THIS a war crime -- you must hallucinating. BTW some of your pals called the Winter Gaza War the holocaust. Tell those pals of yours -- they are nuts. Tell them they need a mental-health check-up.
