1. Good stuff
Naftali   (11.04.09)
Kol Hakavod, and the best part is that these weapons can now be used against our enemies
2. Iranian Arms
Achmadinijad ,   Toronto   (11.04.09)
Once again the zionists entity has enraged the muslim world with piracy on the open seas! When will this perfidity and injustice be stopped?
3. So all those pictures of weapons are fake?
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.04.09)
Sorry that is the realm of Pallywood, not Israel.
4. Perfidy and Injustice
newyorkone   (11.04.09)
Since when is it perfidy and injustice to try to protect oneself? What was the purpose of the secrecy, and for what use were the weapons intended, if not to hurt Israel and Israelis? It's time for the Moslem world to realize that Israel is not the enemy. The true enemies of the Moslem world are the tyrants and fanatics who keep their subjects ignorant and oppressed.

Agreed. Wonderful stuff. As to the use of the weapons -- well, Iran obviously intended for them to reach Hizbollah, and probably Hamas as well. Israel will just be fulfilling Iran's purpose by making sure that the weapons do indeed reach both Hizbollah and Hamas (shrink wrap not included, and not exactly in the way which that terrorist scum anticipated taking delivery). Still, it's all about the results -- Hamas and Hizbollah can expect to see their weapons real soon now.

got caught smuggling axes into the henhouse
7. Ahmadino, look for Aladin's lamp and rub it
lobo   (11.04.09)
Maybe the 'Genie" will be able to help. I think that if a ship is caught with containers full of weapons, the containers must be unloaded, the crew removed and the ship sunk. It might give 2nd thought to shipping co's regarding the transport of goods from Iran.
8. To @2 Boo,hoo
James ,   ISREL   (11.04.09)
I REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR YOU. Oh please get a few tissues and wipe your nose...boo..hoo
9. small operation with their own weapons
harry lavoe ,   orange county usa   (11.04.09)
What can the world say if we shoot them with their own weapons.
10. #2 when the arabs join the civilized world, stop acting like
ralph   (11.04.09)
barbarians. when they respect life, others and give up trying to replace the Nazi drive to rule the world.
11. Iranian arms
Victor O. Teves ,   Iligan City, Phil.   (11.05.09)
Nov. 5, 2009 Now Iran and Syria are washing their hands clean. The West should encourage insurrection inside these countries and give their leaders headache.
12. Iran wonders why we all despise them.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (11.05.09)

Dani   (11.05.09)
Completely agree. If there is another conflict with hezbollah, those 3000 missiles, as well as the mortars etc should be fired indiscriminantly at Lebanon just like they are firing at Israel.

Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (11.05.09)
Presumably, not a gosh-darned thing! Israel, after all, would merely be completing the Islamofascist Republic of Iran's intent. Israel will be delivering the weapons to its intended recipients. I am certain that the relevant charterparties did not specify "how" the weapons were to be delivered, and surely there can be NO international argument as to Israel's delivering them using the best possible means of achieving the best possible outcome .....
15. Israel shall never cease...
shuebydoo ,   USA   (11.05.09)
Israel shall never cease to amaze the world LOL! Great job! Those arms cost someone a prettty penny and they are not happy right now LOL!!! And Israel can use them for special operations...what about a "defective" rocket "falling back" on enemy territory..wink wink...or special ops using the weapons against the enemy LOLOL!!! Let's get creative I say!!!
16. Don't ya know...
publius ,   USofA   (11.05.09)
that when Iran claims that there are hostile forces interfering withthe peaceful trade between an other country, what is meant is the interference is nothing less than preventing trade that seeks to carry out Iran's stated foreign policy of the annilation of Isreal.
17. Arms ship: How Iran tried to dupe Israeli intelligence
Jim ,   Edwards   (11.05.09)
Fatah should start seizing U.S. ships bound for Israeli ports. That would be quid pro quo.
18. #3 Gee
Marco ,   Spain   (11.05.09)
No Gee, the pictures are not fake. However ownership of material in the pictures are in doubt.
19. Now Israel must be nice and return the weapons to Iran
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (11.05.09)
directly in the hands of the opposition there
20. Arbs already tried this trick #17
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (11.05.09)
Arbs go after their preferred cargo of humans. In the 1980's they hijacked a ship with passengers and threw a handicapped Jew in a wheelchair overboard. In the 1970's they hijacked one Israeli airplane and a number of European airplanes, the most famous one being the Air France diverted to Uganda where it ended very badly for the terrorists, all got killed by Israeli commandos who rescued all the passengers except for one handicapped (again) Jewish lady they murdered in cold blood in the hospital there. After that it has been made impossible for them to repeat such kidnappings because of the security measures implemented by Israel and other nations. but if you desire to lose your life go ahead and join them in such an operation

ben ,   LA,CA,US   (11.05.09)
I agree, but there's one problem--it was never officially confirmed that Lebanon was going to use the weapons, even though its more than plausible.
22. To: No. 19
Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (11.05.09)
"directly in the hands of the opposition there" No, there's really no difference between the ruling parties and the opposition. I do agree that Israel should ABSOLUTELY return the weapons to Iran. Not in their hands, though. On their heads.
23. #17 Jim
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (11.05.09)
Care to share more of your moronic ideas? You're underestimating the might of the US Navy/Merchant Marine Anyway, we have Hercules transport planes for quick deliveries.
24. Ezekiel 39:1
dave ,   usa   (11.05.09)
Iran is about to find out the meaning of the above verse. the entire Muslim world will come against Isreal. They will lose!!! I am a christian and love Israel. God will protect them from these forces.
25. A quick one to Jim@17
Kate ,   ISRAEL   (11.06.09)
No Israel was not duped,nor ever will be. To the contrary our "Secret Services" plus the IDF are on their toes always finding these sort of shenanigans by the likes of Iran,Syria & Hizbs. No quid pro quo,but I can say this for your wishful thoughts: "Honi soit qui mal y pense "
