31. 120% unilateraly
Malcolm Blankenship ,   US   (08.29.11)
then quit begging the US to do it.put your money where your mouth is. 100% on your own and clean up the mess on your own. your own money, weapons and politics. let's see how that "chosen tribe" theory works out for you. I bet that the the ink on the key's A-N-T-I-S-E-M-I-T-E are pretty hard to read.
32. #17 Ignorant
Aharon   (08.29.11)
1st, the US didn't go to Iraq for Israel. 2nd your ignorance shows why some people from Saudi Arabia took down the World Trade Towers and hit the Pentagon. If you don't think they won't attack Americans or American soil, you're sadly mistaken. Everyone in the western world should treat Iran as a threat. Israel is their biggest scapegoat because it's the regional scapegoat and is in closer proximity than most Western developed countries.
33. Hey, quick question
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.29.11)
Why would we stop at one strike? LOL! Ain't a gonna happen. We will pound them until they are quite gone and their filth is no longer polluting Planet Earth. Unspeakable beasts. Trust me.
34. To: No. 19
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.29.11)
No Americans have died for Israel. On the other hand, a great many Americans have died for Arabs. With WHAT benefit for Americans? Oh please. Let's sacrifice some more American kids just so that the Saudis can jack up the price of oil and cut production; why don't we just? Arabs are animals who have contributed nothing to humanity. There are ENDLESS examples of Jewish contributions to civilization. Please name JUST ONE Arab contribution to humankind. JUST ONE. JUST ONE.
35. Without Ameica, "Israel" is nothing.
Salma ,   Palestine   (08.29.11)
Nothing's new.
36. Whatever it takes
MK ,   Israel   (08.29.11)
Just do it
37. #25 don't worry
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (08.29.11)
As long as Israel holds Judea, Samaria, and the Golan the worst-case scenario is 40,000 dead, with the IDF and economy still functioning. Without Judea, Samaria and Golan (according to the Barak/Livni plan) after the nuclear attack the IDF will not be able to fend off the following ground attack and far more than 1 million Israeli Jews will die.
38. NO #35:
Israeli 2   (08.29.11)
Without ISRAEL america is nothing.
39. Interesting #23! Thanks for the info.

40. #32: NY, DC were hit 4 supporting Jewish occupation in Plstn
LA ,   USA   (08.29.11)
Canada or Mexico don't support Jewish occupation to the blind extent that Jewish lobby in DC forces US Adm. to support Jewish occupation in Palestine, do you see why neither Canada nor Mexico were targeted? Should US distant itself from Jewish occupation in Palestine; US popularity in the Moslim world will reach the moon and we will save billions of $ and thousands of US lives.

42. @ 28
sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (08.29.11)
Are you joking? I agree the Israeli air force is a great "tactical" airforce, however saying it is the best in the world is a stretch of the imagination. Yes Israel did destroy multiple Arab air forces 30 plus years ago, but alot changes in 30 years. You can't compare the Israeli air force with the American airforce. It would take 20 Israeli planes to do what one B-2 stealth bomber can do and the US has 20 of them backed by a plane that is 20 years more advanced of anything developed called the F-22 which is NOT for export. Israel lacks strategic depth. A one and done mission will not do it. The US Military can strike 10,000 targets (conventional) any where in the world in less than 96 hours it is called Global Strike.
43. Sarah B @ 34
OJLeb ,   Canada   (08.29.11)
Oh sorry, I forgot there was no reason for "Israel" to attack the USS Liberty even though they did. And I think it'd be best if you did some research on what the Arabs have given the world. Such as the number system you use to count all Jewish (Jews, not Zionists) contributions. But it seems you are too ignorant to realize that. Haha.
44. #43 O.J.SimpsonLeb
Erudite ,   Australia   (08.29.11)
Fo your ill informed comments, Arabs gave besides humus and pita very little in mathematics. Algebra is what is noted from Arabs, however even that is not for sure. School of thought points to the Indians who gave it, picked up by the invading Islamic armies and passed it on with further invasions. Outside of a "maybe" the only other contribution Arabs make is the art of killing and murder. For that you get awarded the par exellence cup. Anything else you can come up with OJ? any other contribution you can think of that makes this world a better place with Arab help? I think not.
45. Reply to my wife @ No. 33
Sarah B's husband ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.29.11)
If we could we would but we can't so we won't...Capiche Sarah B? Its about time you stop nagging those good people at Ynet, they are not your poor husband... Sigh...
46. #34 "Please name JUST ONE Arab contribution to humankind."
(08.29.11)
HEZBOLLAH...
47. My apologies to my compatriot @42
Sarah B's husband ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.29.11)
Some of our Jewish brothers like Jason White for example suffer from what is commonly known in medical terms as the Jewish arrogance syndrome...
48. 39 Israeli 2: Thank you.
Rivkah   (08.29.11)
49. Israel MUST strike first, because the US
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (08.29.11)
is PARALYSED by Hussein O. and after doing so, all things will fall into place...!!! The US will simply have to join in and mop up the madmen...!
50. Iran has to be bombed on a regular basis
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (08.29.11)
just like Libya...that would be like a walk in the park, as these wimps never had been able, to even stop the ridiculous "air force" of uncle Saddam !!!
51. Our Soldiers die fighting the same enemy
Monroe Blake ,   Kansas City US   (08.29.11)
We are at war with the same insane Islamic murderers that want to turn Israel into dust . We do NOT need to say our soldiers are giving their lives for Israel. But we are partners in the same war against an enemy who wants us both gone. Every one of the 140,000 soldiers we have overseas fighting Islamic murder and insanity is also fighting for Israel. We are brothers. The mighty IDF does not need us but stop talking as though we are not here. The Scuds came into Tel Aiv - The United States Army operated the Patriots System on your soil. Thats just one little example and we would do all that is needed to help you. I still remember Golda Meirs calls to Henry Kissinger during The October 1973 War. You YOUNG people have much to learn . I remember seeing our friendship in action . You do NOT need us but we are here for you. Dont forget it.
52. Nr 49 -Yes -Yes-Yes - Absolutely -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (08.29.11)
- as i Stated in nr 29., the Iranian Response is the Problem. This Response includes - Hamas - Hizbollah -Syria. Israel can not afford This RESPONSE to strike first. Arn.Sweden.
53. #49 Chris Rettenmoser
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (08.29.11)
Besides that no one wants WW III (except the mad Mullahs) - why are you so sure on which side Barakah Hussein Obama will enter the conflict?
54. To: No. 45
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.29.11)
Not even a good fake. Not even a plausible fake. But a good chuckle for both my husband and myself. Keep 'em coming! Your idiocy is quite entertaining.
55. To be (a power) or not to be (a power)
Freddy   (08.29.11)
Israel lost the "edge" a long time ago. The real nightmare will only start whe Iran gets it. Jewish politicians/leaders talk; the islamic sect acts then talks.
56. Erudite @ #44
(08.29.11)
Of course they did... But it's not just math. Science, chemistry, language, medicine, even early armies all had atleast some Arab influence. Some more than others. It is not too hard to simply Google it. That way, you won't look foolish when claiming your lies are true.
57. To: No. 35
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.29.11)
Really? What's America without Jewish contribution? Ever think about that? On the other hand ... please do mention one -- JUST ONE -- ersatz "Palestinian" contribution to civilization. JUST ONE. I'm waiting, JUST ONE. Please name JUST ONE.
58. To: Albrecht at No. 53
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.29.11)
No matter. The president is an ass (gee, there's a surprise) but the Congress of the United States seems to know. Gosh! Isn't it the Congress who gets to declare war? Nu? By the way, it's also Congress who gets to impeach presidents. Especially the current imbecilic and traitorous Moslem one. Please do keep that in mind.
59. #8 Moshe, is that they have been telling you...
Persian CAT   (08.29.11)
"in private" or you're simply pulling this stuff out of you arse? You are telling me Israeli defense officials are talking to you about the most important project that they've been dreaming about but prevented due to the adult supervision by the US? If that's what you think, then you must be the dumbest a-hole in Israel.
60. Needless to say, disregard post #41
John ,   Alaska   (08.29.11)
after several on-topic, insightful posts that follow TOS have not been allowed to be posted, this is the one that gets through. Interesting. But this was my post, my responsibility, and I am indeed chagrined. (and will be even more so if this retraction does not post)
