31. Israel cant stop kassams from Gaza ..why do you think they
Al   (11.05.11)
can stop Iran? Get over yourselves! Israel today is a paper tiger. All bluff, nothing there except more bluff and BS. The Israel of 67 is long gone replaced by a society of schnorrers and Warsaw Ghetto residents.
32. JUST DO IT
NIKE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (11.05.11)
Stop fannying about.
33. FUNCTIONAL Zionism: PRONOUNCEABLE spelling "AS" IMPORTANT !!
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (11.05.11)
34. Hey JohnnyQ, when twin towers was destroyed
Jorge ,   Tegucigalpa   (11.06.11)
Did the U.S. destroy the culprits and went to war for it. If a country openly and with fatal determination, would be saying that it is going to destroy the U.S. Would the U.S. or any other sane country allow that bunch of lunatics in Teheran aquire atomic weapons. Why then, if Israel is rightfully worried. you and all antisemites call it irresponsible and arrogant. Israel has the bitter leson of the holocaust, remember, would you sit on your hand on that lesson. I suppose not.
35.  31-Al
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.06.11)
Old Israel is long gone; we now have the latest technology The next war, if there is one, won't be a ground war Schnorrer's, by that you mean the Palestinian's that have been grubbing off the largesse of UNWRA & the world for more than 60 years Warsaw Ghetto residents were eliminated by you and your ilk; we are no longer defenseless, as your buddies have found it the hard way, in all the wars they initiated against us, you lost land, we gained The surrounding area is strewn with your corpses & equipment of those that sought to conquer us worry not, we’ll make room for yours , in the nearest dung pile
36. Israel vs Existential Threat
Brod ,   USA   (11.06.11)
On this matter it is a life or death for Israel. Israel alone will decide in defending itself. Objections by others from within and without are irrelevant. The Bible tells a story about the 12 men who were assigned to spy on the land of Canaan. Ten of them chickened out and reported that it was impossible to enter the land because there were giants. Only two of them-Caleb and Joshua said that it was easy-the land was full of milk and honey. With GOD'S help, Israel prevailed in conquering the land which became the Land of Israel. Read the account in the Book of Numbers.
37. # 31 AL , WELL SAID AND SO TRUE
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (11.06.11)
Never were truer words written .
38. Paul, your undies are showing
Isaac Balbin ,   Australia   (11.06.11)
You obviously know that Israel's existence in the area for over 60 years is constantly questioned, so you'd obviously understand why it must have a d'être rant. You obviously know that nobody threatens Irans right to exist. Conclusion: u display anti Semitic tendencies
39. Courage?
Russell Travers ,   Cape Town RSA   (11.06.11)
What does courage have to do with the protection of ones family? Its called instinct actually, reinforced by knowledge that the crazy islamist psychos think they can actually continue the Holocaust. Whats the matter with your people? Are they crazy? Dont you know what you are playing with here? Let me give you a few tips. Watch the skies. Stockpile water and dry foods, oil, batteries and a radio. You wont need a cellphone for the next 6 months or a computer because those systems will go down. If you have elderly parents and kids, move them to the country. Stay up to 5 clicks away from bases, especially air force or republican guards. If you have friends in Syria, say goodbye to them . You will see them in the future, God willing, but you may have to wait a while. Keep some anti-regime buried in the garden so that you can pull it out to use as a cover - wave it in the face of your local rebel comander and say " I always hated the mullahs" because revolution is coming to you too. Oh, good luck with your national bravado. This time your masters have gone too far...
40. israe 'ready to strike'--maybe not!
moron ,   galut   (11.06.11)
too much talk--loose lips sink ships
41. #25 Paul - End your Australian presence
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.06.11)
PAUL, this should suffice 29 August, 2010 Australia’s explicitly racist policies against Indigenous Australians and refugees have been slammed by a recent Report from the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) in Geneva http://www.countercurrents.org/polya290810.htm Paul, you stole their homeland, their future and their children, feel free to correct us after you have corrected your own shortcomings Somehow or other, we have groups of Aussies who are quick to condemn others, while failing or refusing to realize that they themselves are land thieves, while Jews inhabit the land that is the land of the Jews, since time immemorial P.S. Jerusalem & Israel are mentiond in all Bibles, no mention whatever of Palestine or Jerusalem in the Koran
42. #23
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (11.06.11)
Are you suggesting that Israel act like Persians and send little children to clear mine fields? Is that a Persian example of courage? Hiding behind your children? You set quite an example don't you.
43. IDF STRIKE ON IRAN
Metatron ,   Jerusalem   (11.06.11)

Israel retires troops on the ground. Hamas is toppled and last remnants of Hizballah hunted down by rest of political forces in Lebanon. Israel leaves southern Lebanon in 10-30 days
44. Wait 11 months
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (11.07.11)
There will be no attack on Iran until it suits the re-election script of Obama. secretary of Defense Panetta just flew over to Israel to inform them of the rules. Obama knows he has a snowflake's chance in hell of being re-elected. His ONLY trump card is a casus belli. Such an event, well-timed, will ensure his re-election. If he cannot assure it by the polls, he will simply find a pretext (an Iranian act of sabotage or terrorism allowed to take place) to declare martial law in the US, abrogating the 2012 election that was to take place exactly 365 days from today. This event will happen sometime in between July and September, in time to get Congress to declare war, form the necessary coalition and be underway by October.
45. @43
Sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (11.07.11)
Are you joking? I think you should read the Iraq-Iran war history, it should tell you a little about the suicidal fanatical Iranians before submitting your battle plan to the Israeli military lol.
46. Hezbollah
David ,   Los Angeles,USA   (11.27.11)
Rather than striking Iran,Israel should strike Hezbollah first.Hezbollah reportedly has 50,000 missiles aimed at Israeli targets.But this time Israel must use her nuclear arsenal against Hezbollah.
47. stunned but not surprised.
grego ,   houston, texas   (11.29.11)
There is always some joker who hates the jews and is not afraid to express themselves. What is surprising however is how so many of them are willing to throw their lot in with the Iranians instead of the Israelis. As Churchill described these people - those who would make a bargain with the alligator in hopes he would eat them last. I stand by Israel and know they have a difficult decision in front of them. I'm sorry our pathetic president is not aware or willing to support Israel as he should. God bless and good luck.
