ANY MOVE IS A MILITARY MOVE !!!. SO - Arn.

be careful of this guy. He might be setting up Israel.

One wonders why Israel was contacted secretly.Which radical state are we being asked to refer to?Saudi Arabia?Who else?And why would the puppet regime of Saudi Arabia contact Israel secretly?Why not openly?

And I have a bridge to sell you... PS: The governments of those countries MIGHT have said so,but are the nations also supporting it??

The point is not if Arab states passed along a message, secret or public. The point is: why do Knesset members/Ministers/Deputy Ministers find it necessary to open their mouths stating things that should be kept unsaid. If it is not true, why the lie ? If it is true, what is the overriding necessity to make it public ? Cannot Bibi put a gag on members of his own government ?

Israel is exporting apples, grown on occupied Syrian land, to Syria. THE AUDACITY. I don´t know what to call Syrian part of the deal. WIMPY?

his statement is kara too it is not secret he is bald saudi will never support what could be their demise they might like to see a war that weaken both enemies

Some (most) politicians are so dumb,I sometimes think that censorship Is not such a bad Idea. Where does this bafoon gets this Idea that Syria can possibly export water, let alone to Israel? Syria has recently relocated 300.00 farmers from drought stricken farm lands.Its economy Is collapsing,among reasons, due to water shortage, the worst In decades. His statements are laughable.

The apples exported to Syria are grown by Druse in the Golan with the help of Israeli technology and support. This is nothing new and has been going on for years. "Occupied Syrian land"? Do you know how the Golan came to be Syrian? It was turned over to France by the British in 1923 under conditions of the Machiavellian "Sykes-Picot Agreement" signed in 1916 during WW I. This transfer of land was illegal and violated the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine. All Syria did in its 44 years of occupying the Golan was turn it into an armed camp to attack Israel from.

is still a lie. Who in their right mind would believe a Likud MK saying that 'radical' Muslim states would support an Israeli strike? Only the truly weak-minded, ie. many Israelis.

Why Mahmood, you seem positivly unerved. Are you a little miffed that you weren't consulted first? You always talk as if you are " in the know" about what Syria, Iran or Hezbollah is about to or planning to do. Were you caught by surprise? Didn't Pakistani ISI let you in on what's going on? Poor Mahmood, he was left out of the game by the other boys! Boo effin Hoo!

Stop your propaganda, no one believe your outragious lies anymore.

The muslims would like nothing better than Israel to hit Iran but they also know if they support any Israeli strikes on the record or allow Israel use of their airspace or anything else Iran will also target them. As for this nonsense of peace with Syria so we can trade apples for water is idiotic. He knows as well as everybody that Syrias price is the Golan & a share of Kinneret waters. We need the Golan much more than we need to sell Apples or anything else to Syria. We also dont need to share the Kineret ( Syria has its own water problems ) We need to be building more water desalination plants rather than import water. Just the way the arabs cut off oil to the west in 1973 if we invest our water infastructure in importing water what happens it there is a war or diplomatic problems like we recently had with Turkey all they need to do is say we intend to refuse to keep selling or suspend shipments of water. This is one area we must be 100% self sufficiant. Desalination & Israels natural water supplies like from the Kineret must be where all our water supplies come from we cannot import even 1 drop or it will be used as a weapon against us.

reason not to touch Iran at all.

It will be interesting to know what kind of support will be forthcoming - material, information, troops, access to airspace, diplomatic, public relations. It would be re-assuring if they put it in writing in a contract. Then again, it may be all just words. I am not sure that Arabs are trustworthy as I not found this to be so in my dealings with them.

The key word here is "secretive" messages which basically means "keep your mouth shut, idiot". Why do Israeli politicians need to have looser mouths than jealous kids on a playground?? Iran is causing fear in the whole region which is why all Arab nations are ok with a strike (as they were with Iraq back in 2003) - they like any one to do their dirty work for them. But because of rhetoric like this, Iran is pushing faster for nukes. A self-fulfilling prophecy. Regarding Syria - how exactly will you import water from a nation that is dying of thirst? The ruined the lives of 1m people in East Syria because they over-pumped wells. DUH! You want water from Syria?? Just keep them from access to the Golan, and you'd have plenty. Give them back the Golan and they would suck the kinneret dry!

Hi Mahmood, it must be your first days on this planet. From your so-called innocent question it appears you're trying to be manipulative or are just stupid. You Arabs decry Egypt for building a border fence on their own border. You call Jordan and Egypt zionist dogs for having peace accords with Israel. And you cursed Dubai for ever allowing our tennis player in their country. So why would any Arab country put their neck out to speak with Israel in public? What you don't know is many Arab countries secretly speak with Israel, then curse them on Arab TV. See why Israel doesn't really get upset? When we were beating the hell out of Hizbullah and Nasrallah called Arabs traitors and cowards....we already knew why. They tacitly supported hitting Iranian proxies.

borrowed from the Damascus public library?

the question should be..why can't syria grow their own apples????? that is the question. why can't it, like israel, grow its own apples and vegetables by its own farmers???? why should they have to import apples at all???? can't they grow and cultivate them themselves? that is the question and i am sure that, if you ask why, i can give you a very simple answer. hameed aboughaze, iranian

If you have a war and a peace treaty comes between the two parties, in negotiations, land might be given back. But if after loosing 1 war unsolicited, Looses Land and then Syria atacks two more times umprovoked, you really think Israel has to give up a land that logistically endangers the country? So Syria after being the agressor has to have a Reward? While the Syrians are in a stage of war even though there is a cease fire, the land is under the jurisdiction of Israel. And this is no lie weather you like it or not. If the land is under Israel's juridisdiction, any product produce there either by the Druse or by the settlers and send to Sirya for a value is consider an Export. To summarizing: There was no land grabing. Would had Israel lost the war.God Forbid, Syrians would have taken the Kineret and they would have anexe it as Jordan did in 1948, with the West Bank and east Jerusalem. This is also an answer to Mr Heider from Sweden. Read your facts first. The Golan was integral part of Palestine, and because of games of power between England and France, this land was given to France as part of Great Syria. But truthfully it was never Syrian. They had it for 44 years, already Israel has it for 43. So why it should be more Syrian than Israeli. As for the MK of the Likud that has a big mouth, he should get penalized. If it is true that secretly radical arabs are sending notes to Israel why in the hell is he talking this publicly. He himself said it was secret. I don't understand how people behave so irresponsible. TRuly with such fools Israel is living a Miracle.

from radical Muslim states?

Kara is one of Israel's best Knesset members who wants to have real peace not based on ethnic cleansing of Jews and to preserve Israel's Zionist and Jewish character. This time he is wrong. Kara realizes that Iran is a danger to the Arab dictatorships and thinks that if Israel helps against Iran, the Arabs will want peace. Kara does not understand the Saudi plan: have Israel and Iran fight it out so both will be weakened. Israel should let, even support, Iranian conquest of Iraq and Saudi Arabia. The Iranians will clean-out these artificial countries, liberate the people of the Middle East, and then we will have peace.

You really think Israel is better off with Iran than with Saudi Arabia? They both hate Israel's guts. But they hate their own guts even more. If Arabia let's it's airspace or some bases be used to hit Teheran, because Teheran has become more of a threat to them than Israel, let it be. Of course a war between them could be convinient to weaken both, but never to let Iran become the Power of the Region with nuclear arms, and arms of mass destruction. To let Iran become the Regional Power, means to have also Syria, Hisbollah and Hamas breathing over our necks Besides there is a remote posibility to come to a sort of peace deal with the Saudies if this happens. The King proposed a plan por peace that Israel cannot accept, But in case of a strike to Iran things can change dramatically in favor of Israel. Not only with Saudies but with other Muslim and Arab Countries. Even if this means sacrifizing the Palestinian cause by the Arabs, The Palestinians are a nousance to them. The are a disastibilizing factor, with all their terrorist links in the region. The only reason why the Arabs continue fueling the Palestinian cause is due to their hate for the Jews, but if the Teheran problem is controlled by Israel or the US, then many things will change. In any case I wouldn't turn my back to either of them.

WHAT KIND OF IDIOCY IS THIS - IRANS INTENTION TO DESTROY ISRAEL EVENTUALLY, IN DUE TIME, AND THIS JERK SUGGESTS THAT STRIKING IRAN IS BAD, THEREFORE THE ARABS WANT IT. IF ISRAEL WOULD HAVE BORDERING GERMANY PRIOR TO W.W.2., ATACKING GERMANY WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD, BECAUSE SOVIET WOULD HAVE WANT IT ???. AND IF SOMBODY ARE INTENDED TO KILL ME, I SHOULD NOT TRY TO DEFEND MYSELF, THEREFORE A BAD ENEMIE TO THIS SOMBODY WANTS IT ???. AMAZING LOGIC SOME CAN PUT FORWARD. Arn.

I respectfully disagree with you. The Persians are a great and honorable people who invented chess. Open your mind. The Persian people and Iran have never attacked Israel and the Jews. But if Israel attacks Iran, the Persian people will demand vengeance. Saudi Arabia (and the Americans) helped Khomeni take over Iran and later financed the genocidal war where Iraq attacked Iran. 1 million Iranians killed including with mustard and nerve gas, civilians massacred. The Iranians are not stupid. If they attack Israel, Israel will retaliate and Saudis win. On the other hand, if they do not attack Israel they slowly take over Iraq, rule the Persian Gulf and bring down Saudi Arabia. The verbal Iranian attacks against Israel are a game: the Arabs have generated such hatred against Israel that by insulting Israel, Iran prevents Saudi Arabia from acting against Iran without appearing to be Zionist agents, especially after they supported the American invasion of Iraq. The Iranians have almost check-mated Obama and the Saudis. The only way for the Saudis to survive is for Israel and Iran to fight it out.

Hameed, I have read many of your posts over the weeks and find them informative and intrigueing. So let me ask why ? Also if you don't mind, reading posts # 23,25,27&29 maybe an opinion there as well. Without seeming like a smoocher, I respect your knowledge and your sincerity on the subject. Many of my opinions of the current regime of Iran and the Iranian people coincide with your own.
