91. How can this be happening?
Steve ,   Charlotte, USA   (10.10.09)
During the campaign we were all told that “the world wants Obama”; that peace was available to the world in your local precinct. Well we’ve got Obama (do we ever!) and there is nothing but strife in the world. What happened? N.Korea shooting off rockets, Chavez saying he wants nuclear collaboration, Iran wanting to blow up- anybody. We ramped up and bogged down in Afghanistan. No one wants to buy our debt, things at home are in the dumper, and most of the world is telling us to “kiss off” rather than give “us a kiss of peace” By the way…has any body seen the Sec of State-Hillary? The last time saw or heard of her was when she put the presidential seal on her sling. Hillary…Oh Hillary…come out, come out, wherever you are!
92. Americans are with you Israel!!
Randy ,   Dallas Texas   (10.10.09)
We have a Socialist Dictator (temporarily) as pres. We support you 100% because you are the only ones that can/ will do anything about this serious matter.....Our pres. is a Pacifistic "girly-man" who lacks any interest in anything except "spreading the wealth" here......
93. Iran: Israel's threats inexplicable
Dee Sharisse ,   Cardiff, UK   (10.10.09)
"..... the crimes and terror Israel commits in the region," Why do the bad guys always try and reverse fact. Israel, USA and Britain are always accused of being the bully boys, when in fact we are the victims of their murderous campaigns and ideology. What are we supposed to do? Wait until the UN puts a stop to Iran's imperialist ambitions? Right! More chance of seeing a UFO land in my yard!
94. Yeah OK
chris   (10.10.09)
You have to be kidding me retard
95. Iran's vile evil + their Enemy
John ,   Indianapolis - USA   (10.10.09)
I am ashamed the USA has seemingly distanced ourselves from our strongest ally in such troubling times. Please forgive us for electing Barack Obama. Our current weakness enables evil around the world and apparently we have given up on standing up for what is right in the interest of pacifism. To my Israeli friends, Good Luck and God Bless you. Do what you must and do it completely.
96. Put up or shut up
John ,   New Jersey   (10.10.09)
If you threaten to attack you must do it. It is a saying in New Jersey that if you point a gun at a man you better pull the trigger. I would assume the same is true in the Middle East.
97. Amen.
AFB ,   USA   (10.10.09)
Amen.
98. iran
jimboy ,   new haven,usa   (10.10.09)
Since Obama has dropped our friendship with Israel like a hot potato, I marvel at Israeli patience. Christmas would be nice.
99. Deb FLA #37 Great post!
ricardo maxwell ,   Orange Park USA   (10.10.09)
Excellent post Deb. It's interesting to see the leftist America hating anti semites from Europe post here. They sound just like Obamabots. I see no other option than to stay in America and fight these neo Commies and get our country back. Don't forget the state run media are their accomplices.
100. Iran is the threat
truthnusa ,   freedom, USA   (10.10.09)
Iran asks the UN to punish Israel for making a threat. I guess that is different than having the President of Ian continuously saying he will wipe Israel off the map. Iran has made at least 100 threats to completely destroy Israel and wipe it off the world map. Where are the UN condemnations on those statements? No where...because the UN is nothing more than a waste of money and needs to be abolished. Go for it Israel. Remove the cancer from the world...The Iranian revolution is the single greatest source of terrorism in the world. Time to get serious and reomve this cancer.
101. Khazaee
DMG ,   CAIRO, GA USA   (10.10.09)
The Islamo-nazi's that make up the leadership of Iran are either idiots or high on drugs. My solution to the Iran problem is simple. Nuke them, before they nuke us.
102. Smart Strategy!!
Thomas ,   Atlanta, USA!!!   (10.10.09)
This is a great way to get the lazy, pathetic Europeans to participate fully in sanctions against Iran. This is the only peaceful option, and if it doesn't work we could be looking at the start of a WWIII. You cannot let Iran start a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. How could anyone disagree? Israel's comments will finally get others looking at this seriously.
103. Iran vs Isreal
Steve M ,   Tennessee, USA   (10.10.09)
No worries, the Nobel Peace Prize winning Obama should have this taken care of by Christmas
104. Sneh shouldn't speak
Mike ,   USA   (10.10.09)
I agree with first part of your comments, but saying this was any empty threat or will actually tip off Iran is dead wrong. this is a legitimate threat targeting the Security Council not Iran. Iran was caught red handed with a hidden Nuclear Facility @ Qom and the useless UN fails to act again. The impending attack on Iran is on their hands!
105. Bombing Iran
Richard ,   Houston, Texas   (10.10.09)
Excuses me Khazaee, are not you the ones who have said you will eliminate Israel? drive them into the sea? Israel fights for its survival. you fight for the joy of killing. Murder is what you believe in, not peace, that is why the world is concerned about your weapon program. There is not an organic life form in the Universe that believes your atomic program is for peaceful purposes.
106. Iran is within its rights
Jeff ,   Knoxville, USA   (10.10.09)
Iran is within its rights. No other country should dictate the evolution of energy within another sovereign nation. Civilized countries need to respect growth in another. Even if you don't agree with them. It's not "our" world... or israels. If Iran goes nuclear and then attacks someone with a nuke... they should be told, they will in turn be nuked. Remember, the news you read, and see on TV, are nearly all controlled by those of jewish origin (i.e. israel) reworking things to suit their interests first. Leave Iran alone. We SHOULD NOT SUPPORT AN ATTACK ON IRAN. I for one do not want anymore American soldiers fighting for israel or afghanistan or ANY "OTHER" country! We need to stop being the world's police force.
107. "there is no explanation for Israel's continuing threats..."
Tom Zacharias ,   Deltona, USA   (10.10.09)
But it's OK for Iranian leaders to threaten to "wipe Israel off the map"? Twisted logic!
108. Liar's, Dragons and Bears....oh my
John ,   Louisville, KY USA   (10.10.09)
The only reason Israel hasn't taken military action (and the US for that matter) is because China gets alot of their oil (then returns it refined) from Iran and Russia is funding / supplying a lot of this nuclear venture. Well, there is a third reason...Obama and his administration are complete tools. China and Russia are calling the shots here...putting pressure on the USA to put pressure on Israel to hold off on any actions. This is one American who will be glad when Israel takes up for itself and takes the military action. Iran's government spews nothing but lies.
109. Israel's Defense
Tyler McKinley ,   Chicago, IL   (10.10.09)
If you believe the Bible then you know how the story ends. Why don't we go ahead and get on with it. I would be willing to go and fight for Israel's right to live in peace.
110. Attack on Iran
Don ,   Conn., US   (10.10.09)
This American wishes to state his unequivocal condemnation of mass murder of the Iranian people, all of course under the Orwellian justification of promoting security in the Middle East. As the essayist Wendell Berry put it prior to the American invasion of Iraq, don't kill one innocent child over there and say you did it to protect my children. What unthinkable evil our leaders have dragged us into.
111. Iran's Leaders ARE cowardice Dictators
kagiso edward ,   Charlotte, USA   (10.10.09)
Sure Dictators of Iran can threaten to kill all living in Israel, and America .. and their own people if they protest for fair elections .. You Iranian Dictators torture and kill your own people ... But if any one says a word about standing up to you, you go run behind your UN MOMMY apron like all weak, stupid, cowardly bullies do ... You are WEAKLINGS and wouldnt last even as long as Saddam Hussein did .. Go into your spider holes and wait for the good guys to take you prisoner .. Would be nice to see your own citizens able to live in freedom and peace WITHOUT their tyrant masters ..
112. Mike #104
Shlomo Kamra   (10.10.09)
Mike, the yanks knew about Qom for years, and Iran informed the IAEA before it had to. Just because Jo Public did not know about it does not mean it was a secret! More lies from Israel. #102 Tom, Israel started the ME nuclear arms race decades ago. The rest are just catching up. #105 Richard Cranium, murder is what Israel specialises in-just read the TBs on here to see how many jews support murder. But then they consider the Palestinians and Arabs as subhuman, and that their g underscore d told them that it is OK to murder them. This proves how evil and dangerous Zionism and Israel is to ME peace, and world peace.
113. Why make a reference to Christmas?
Joe Blough ,   Toronto, Canada   (10.10.09)
Doesn't it seem strange that a Jewish Defense Minister would make a reference to "Christmas", instead of saying "December" or "the end of the year" ?
114. IRAN
steven ,   Miami   (10.10.09)
Israel, wake up! Most supported OBAMA who will protect his arab family. Tell your people to not support him.
115. time is running out
kam ,   concord USA   (10.10.09)
I am an Iranian, but i believe the time is running out. israel or usa better do something soon. these fenatics are planning to destroy teh region. islamic regime of iran should be eliminated soon before it's too late.
116. Iran the Cry Baby
Wes Freeman ,   Gadsden USA   (10.10.09)
Israel will have to attack on its own as the coward in the white house is on the side of America's Enemies, as shown in his and clinton backing the wrong side in Honduras. Goos Luck Israel and send them where they belong.
117. Israel/Iran
Tom ,   Virginia, USA   (10.10.09)
Let's see, Irans leader wants to wipe Israel off the map and calls the holocaust a fabrication, and is unrepentent about it. An Israeli states that Israel will act against Iran if no sanctions are in place by the end of the year and the Iranians demand an apology. What is wrong with this picture? Iran is an empty suit much like Saddam Hussein, a lot of bravado and posturing and threats, but hollow when the time comes for action.
118. Read your own Talkbacks
Alfie ,   Alpharetta, GA   (10.10.09)
It's clear that the majority of Israel is mired in a deep mental illness of overwhelming aggression. This talkback board is nothing but a big chest beating festival to try to make yourselves feel secure. Bottom line, you are tiny annoying US puppet, and I say that as a true American. You have neither the capability, nor the stones to finish what you are starting, and the truth is it's more likely to finish YOU! So go right ahead and attack Iran already! You have enough rope, DO IT!!! We're WAITING...
119. BOMB?
Christian ,   Long Beach, USA   (10.10.09)
I say nuke their assess....ask questions later...enough of these clowns with expectations of grandiosity....
120. Israel
tim ,   md USA   (10.10.09)
Hey Deb,You nailed that down.Thx glad to know you are out there.Bless those that Bless Israel and curse those that curse it.God is on their side,the same as the 6 day war.Dont mess with the Holy land and USA Im ashamed of what we became since BHO
