... the difference is that everyone calls out Israel when it violates UN resolutions, yet nobody gives a hoot when Iran does. This is evidenced by all your posts, where you decide to further chastise Israel rather than worrying about a nuclear Iran. Of course, Israel would not attack any Western nations with its nuclear arsenal, whereas Iran constantly threatens to wipe western nations off the map... but since that Western nation is Israel, none of you care. Laugh your asses off all you want, but Iran with nuclear capabilities is no laughing matter.

Israel wants other country to obay the UN resolution , listen what are asking how many Un resolution Israel has Violated over 100 They are the out law country , first you obay the resolution then ask others to do the same start with yourself getout of the West bank and southern Lebanon and the Golan

Pot calling the kettle black?? Really... so a country who repeatedly makes comments about annihalating another nation should be allowed nuclear weapons ( if you think iran's intentions are completely peaceful you are stupid) israel's nuclear weapons are the only thing keeping the middle east from total war. Even if israel doesn't comply with iaea standreds and npi, they don't throw their weight around saying they have wmd's, what do you think a rogue state like iran will do?? Answer- threaten any all with retaliation, sneak radioactive material (dirty bomb) into israel, us, england, kill millions of innocent people. Just imagine the next madrid bombing or times square bombing; but instead of normal explosive material, they use radioactive material that makes a good chunk of any city uninhabitable. This may sound like a good tom clancy book, but its a very real threat and its possibly a year from being a very substantial threat and if you had any common sense you would figure that out

Please remember why Israel is here today. All you other races (of peace, funny enough)..that have killed millions of people for that sake of race purification... enslaved Africans and sent them overseas without a care of their families. made the Indians race into sub-slaves..Iran is not the problem the forefathers of the west and America are...Jews saw that they can easily be killed again and better number now since weapons have improved.. because of stupid western religion belies..if there was a Jesus I am sure he would be disgusted by your ways my friends...many people are going to die for nothing...wake up in the morning and take care of your kids let them learn and create.. other than destroy...life is too short for this crap.

What about you and your family living in stolen land (MEXICO) and the attrocities of your gov.. shut up

It is way past time for most of the world to figure out we should be supporting Israel, the Promised Land, instead of constantly trying to rip it to shreds. Time will show the mistakes of cowardly world leaders. Very sad that others would not stand up with Israel at this critical time to remove Iran's nuclear threat. What is comforting to me is that God is in control and we know the ultimate victory has been won.

Maybe if the Arab world had abided by the original UN resolution declaring Israel a full member and not declaring and launching immediate war on it, you would have peace there now. Israel has the right to defend itself just as any other country has, and should and will continue to do so. So don't talk about who doesn't accept UN resolutions, which are so stacked against Israel while overlooking atrocities committed around the world, and especially in Muslim countries (Darfur anyone?). It is you haters who are the true hypocrites. May you all live in dhimminitude in the future. Israel never will.

have you noticed that the UN is not a very good group of people? they are much better at sanctioning Israel than keeping track of their own flock. for example, see a peer reviewed academic article by H. Patricia Hynes (2004) that cites NUMEROUS occasions where UN "peacekeepers" profited from, helped allow for, and even received gratifying services from the prostitution and sex slavery of women and girls they were supposed to be protecting (Women's Studies International Forum, issue 27, pgs 431-445). Oh wait, I forgot that nobody cares about the truth. LET'S ALL YELL AT ISRAEL B/C THEY'RE THE ONLY ONE WITH THE CAJONES TO CALL OUT IRAN FOR WHAT IT IS: a state whose leadership has time and time again threatened to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Good luck fighting your own wars, US and UK.

Attn: all you blowhards criticizing Israel. Now that Iran is preparing to destroy Israel, thanks to Russia, what will you do when the war starts? Do you think nuclear energy will be for peaceful purposes? Don't believe anything the Iranians say. They have made no secret about their hate for Israel. They will be met with a disproportionate share if they try to start something. We need to get rid of it now! The US needs to partner with Israel to stop Iran from it's purported goal. What are they waiting for? I am a liberal, but even I can understand what's going on. Use your brains, people!

I totally agree.

I ask of the ISM zombies and retrograde Marxists who haunt this site: Is Israel the only target of Iranian nukes? Is Israel the only target of Islamist weapons of mass destruction? Do you feel all warm and cozy jumping up and down in New Zealand or LA? You’re eligible too for an unexpected and terrible death.

Need I say more. I hate what this president has done and is doing. He is totally incompetent,

Israel should do humanity a favor and turn Tehran and Mecca into glass.

And of course to all their ilks. First of all, you didn't receive an earlier answer because we were celebrating Shabat. Second, whether you like it or not, we are here, this is our land, and here we will stay till Mashiach arrives!!!

Your stupidity is a shining beacon of ignorance of any and all relevance or reality. "Iran is just trying to generate energy" wtf??!!! oh, ha ha. I get it, you were just joking, right?? Moron. You do realize that these maniacs getting their hands on nuclear weapons WILL affect YOU, not just us in Israel, don't you???

Well abirwashere from Santorini, should I care for Israel when it actually is wiping a nation off the face of the earth. Iran has threatened Israel because of the Injustice to Palestinian people.

I dont know what map you guys are looking at, but the Middle East isnt a continent. Most of it is in Asia, the rest in Africa.

Give iran nukes , because at the end of the day , there will always be a israeli flag flying over israel , even before there was nukes and the arabs had the jews out numbered they could not win , what has change that makes the world think they can get rid of the jews now. if god intentions was for the jews to be wipe out it would have happened a long time ago , that should tell you whos side god is on the only thing the internatiional community has done by letting iran having nukes is there demise , the jews are not going anywhere , it was written thousands of years ago....may the lord forever bless the state of israel....

The Talks are nothing but a stall.. Obama is not your buddy and Not ours either and he must go!!!!!

The process is some Islamic country threatens to wipe the Israel of the map, Israel chooses to defend itself, and the UN then condemns Israel. Why would you ever want Israel to disappear? Who would be the villian if the world didn't have the Jews to hate?

I agree with Norm from Great Neck NY I am shocked at all the anger at Israel and all the misinformation about Israel and the UN. The UN is a club of a bunch of Arab Thugs! Israel never gets a fair break has anyone looked at how small Israel is? Yet the Arabs want more of their land. There is no question the Arabs are trying to push the Jews into the sea and now with Iran's nuclear weapons, what should the Israelis do? Do you thing giving more land back will help? If you do then you must be very young or fallen for all the anti-Semitic propaganda.

And just which rights did Obama restore that Bush restricted? I know what Obama said in the election, but what he's done as President is the opposite. Obama's a fake. His stance on Iran is only one instance.

Looks like the Islamists that usually post on Haaretz decided to tour a truly moderate news site whose goal is not Israel's destruction. What is interesting is that if they posted items on Haaretz that the Islamist Haaretz editorial board disagreed with, their responses would simply be censored.

unless spreading radiation on civilians and the sea is still an option. Yeah, it's just a matter of time now when Iran will have nukes. Which mean Hamas and Hezbollah will have nukes as well. And these freaks won't be afraid to use them. Don't think for a minute that this will be another cold war. Yep, it's just a matter of time.

Iran should have been stopped by force a long time ago. Tehran would not know peace if a peace bomb blew up and took its chief Imam to see Allah face to face. I think it is forbidden in Iran to use "peace" and "Israel" in the same sentence. Does anyone believe that Iran has been building missiles to send electric power generation capacity to Jerusalem by air? No one here in the US does, except our idiot president. I think the American people have been hoping for years now that Israel would accidentally drop some ordinance over Iran that would cripple these nuke sites before Tehran gets its anti-aircraft missiles in place. Good Luck Israel; Christians in the US are praying for you.

We here in the supercollider control room have news for you. At 1100 hours we regret to report that the space time continuum was surreptitiously mapped to Zaphod Beeblebrox's beach house hot tub's XML schema.

Someday, you will die. And this thread will have been the most important thing you ever commented on whilst living in your parents basement apartment. Children of Bob, join us.

Oh Bob! You have given out the secret numerical sequence for initiating Project Zero! Everyone!!! Run to your emergency bomb shelter at the back of your Myrtle Beach, South Carolina USA trailer park!!!

How about we just go into the middle east and declare it all a global park? Then, point all nuclear weapons at the middle east and give out 2 red buttons, one to the Israeli Prime Minister, the other to the Iranian President? Why is it that this actually makes perfect, practical sense? Praise Bob.
