Right on! You two see what others are oblivious to, and are just willing to bury their heads in the sand. I'm constantly amazed at how most people just accept what the politician says, and not what he does. In this case, Obama has won, and he'll say anything to get re-elected; including a war just before the elections in November.
32. #29 - That hasn't worked out so well for us Jews in the past

35. #31 Haha

Devorah's #5 is the most ignorant thing I've read on Ynet since the last Ben Jabo post. Look, this is quite easy: if the US thought Iran was an imminent threat, the US would deal with it. So if Isarelis are so scared of Iran, the logical thing for them to do would be deal with it themselves. Of course the bottom line is Israelis can't do anything about it (without going nuclear and using nukes to stop another nation from going nuclear is one hypocrisy too far--even for Israelis.) There was a post upthread where some Israeli was whining that all the US wants is war...in contrast, of course, to other posts where Israelis are whining the US doesn't want war. The common denominator? The whining, of course. I suppose whining is all you can do when you're so reliant on others.
36. US Doesn't Want Israeli Attack - Yet
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (02.13.12)
It is inappropriate to include a joke in the midst of an article with such a serious subject. The joke, of course, is the statement that US law prohibits assassination. But, perhaps that may be true, in the case of bombs placed on a car, as opposed to missiles from a drone, which is clearly OK. So long as the missiles don't get the targets wet, which may be prohibited as "waterboarding".
37. #15 Devorah, my post at #17 was for Mr. Wallaby at #13.

That is why Israel pays back 3 billion dollars a year plus interest to the US. Nothing is free in America when it comes to the mighty greenback dollar. Do you get it moron?
39. ''ISRAEL'', THE UNITED STATES, IRAN AND SO ON...
A WONDER-S.R. ,   MULTIVERSE   (02.13.12)
FOR EXAMPLE, IN PRINCIPLE EVERY COUNTRY/PEOPLE , SUCH AN INSTITUTION AS THE ENTIRE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION WANTED/WANTS TO AVOID AN ATTACK/AGRESSION AGAINST IRAN/THE IRANIAN PEOPLE AND AGAINST EVERY OTHER NATIONAL NATION-STATE, WITH IT''S PEOPLE, EVERYWHERE, ALWAYS, A.S.O....
40. #4 ha, Coos Bay Oregon Obummer will not win!
Maxim ,   Lincoln City Oregon   (02.13.12)
Obummer will not get reelected for second term. It is written in the sky amigo. Four more years of the same will be very damaging to the US and the free world.
41. Could elections be postpone?
David ,   USA   (02.13.12)
Obama has, and still is breaking US laws that has been enforced by our law agencies. He makes laws up as he goes, and that makes this man(if that is correct to say) very dangerous to the US, and to the world. Could his administration seek a way to postpone Israel's attack(August) long enough to shorten the gap to the presidentual elections where US would then engage iran, and syria, therefore, stopping the elections because of the world events that would be so chaotic. Obama is breaking the immigration laws, and making his own laws(by excecutive order, according to Rep. Smith) to tilt the vote to his favor is the objective, that is obvious! He knows the true American people will not vote for him again. Seeing that the media, and others seems to be afraid to speak out toward obama; could this really happen in the USA?

Devorah   (02.13.12)
So reassuring to know you have your Canadian thumb on the pulse of the Iran/Israel/USA situation. Why don't you see a proctologist to get your head out of your azz because you have no idea what you're talking about. After that, go see a shrink to find out why you have Obama-is-god syndrome and what can be done to get you in touch with reality. I will say that I found your post to be amusing.
43. ELECTIONS
David ,   USA   (02.14.12)
That is correct, obama only wants the vote, and his shirt tail is showing.
44. If Obama Does Nothing or Obstructs Israel
Randal ,   Little Rock, AR, USA   (02.14.12)
If Obama does nothing or hinders Israel he will not get reelected that way either. People in the US are not going to put up with an anti Israeli President! Am Yisrael Chai,
45. Israel & Iran
Abdul-Bari ,   Detroit USA   (02.14.12)
Only a sick and demented mind would even entertain the thoughts of Zionist Israel launching an unprovoked military attack upon Iran. The oil companies, the military-industrial complex and the pro-Zionists in Washington D.C and in the media are itching to shed more innocent Muslim blood despite the worldwide economic catastrophe that would result from more senseless war. Nuclear power is something that the people of Iran from all walks of life, pro-government or anti-government, support. Fossil fuels like oil and natural gas are a finite resource. The big oil companies are surely smiling at the thought of $5/gallon or more gasoline prices in the United States in the event of an Israeli (and/or U.S. & U.K.) attack on Iran. Ironically a preemptive military strike against Iran would unify the people of the country, thusly strengthening the theocratic regime that Israel & the West so loathe. Nuclear power inalienable right of any nation. Nuclear weapons are another matter; Iran should not develop Nuclear weapons. Weapons of Mass Destruction are ungodly and should be banned worldwide. Only a devilish people bereft of morality would ever use a W.M.D. upon humans in any circumstances.
46. Elections
David ,   USA   (02.14.12)
For one I don't know how I posted 43 when it was just an insert, but it happened. However, don't be fooled. There are a lot of people that don't want US in with Israel. I for one will never leave God's first chosen people. Guess to say I'm in for the long, but now short haul. obama will do anything to remain president, I mean anything, so stand by for more deceptions from him that wants to tear down the USA. I do like your attitude on the matter.
47. flex fuel
Ze Mane ,   I'mhere - OK   (02.15.12)
Lucky I have a flex car! I can fill it up with ethanol!
