They don't have to love us. They have to fear us, and they do.

......but he sure is a clear thinker. He's too valuable to reject. THREE CHEERS FR ISRAEL!!!

Look at all the Arab nations whose leaders ruled by fear... do you really want what happened to their leaders will happen to the Jews ? There needs to be a mixture of fear, respect and practicality. Right now the mixture is lacking

counterweight against the Shiites in Lebanon, Iraq and Iran...not too bad...

international problem...BUT IT IS NOT TREATED THIS WAY...why ? Because the world knows very well, that Israel is the ONLY country under Irans gun... It is as simple as that !

The best way to stop Iran is to either covertly sabotage the project and make it look like chernobyl, or send 100 warplanes to attack the regime and cut off the snake's head.

Israel has covertly sabotaged Iran's nuclear program. An elegant and extraordinary computer worm called "Stuxnet." Bushehr and, more importantly, Natanz remain non-operational.

'they need to fear us'...... If that's your attitude no-one is going to reap any benefit from this standoff. Fact is, Iran is wary of Israeli military power, but fear...no there isn't any,they are too crazed for anything like fear. But the bottom line is..when has any global government been able to distract obedience from another power by way of fear? Fear???? Politics just don't work that way Sarah. it's almost ludicrous.......

That's exactly how it works!

Just asking. I believe otherwise.

Peace is agreements, economical and cultural collaboration, tourism, thirsty of knowing the other. Peace is not in fear, only destruction and hatred can be found in fear.

Fear is not the answer. Mutual respect is. However, getting there unfortunately neccessitates a degree of fear.

#1 Sarah B is absolutely right. muslims are forever lurking, pricking away at Israel with their little tiny daggers. What holds them at bay is the fear of an Israeli response to their mischief.

a nuclear Iran is far worse than doing nothing. A failed military strike would create delay and send a very different message that while such countries can do whatever they want with the West, Israel is not for for messing with.

There are no waves of secular movements in the crowds that are revolting against regimes which are living off the poverty of their people. The populace usually wants or accepts without resistance the idea of living under sharia whatever succeeds the current despots. This means a continuation of the irrational politics of the Imams & other religious leaders made more so by the internal divisions of the sects, clans & ethnic groups. Only the extremists are organized & zealous in their determination to take advantage of the chaos & to appear as the salvation everyone ends up accepting for a return to order.

Palestinians do not fear "IDF" ( 1982 war , al karameh battle and two uprisings ) are good proof of that, but "Israel" the nuclear entity fears any Palestinian army even if it is not armed!!! you have to fear us because we will never forget! We will never forgive!

The time for talking with such false pride and arrogance has gone. The playing field is much more level now. Your words show your fear.

...Israel is doomed to suffer a sticky end.
