1. Netanyahu is perfectly correct.
John   (04.18.12)
Netanyahu is perfectly correct. Imagine if Israel had not bombed Osirak (against American & European objections), those Scuds that hit Israel in the Gulf War in 1991 would have had Nuclear warheads on them. And the Ayatollahs are 100X more fanatical & extreme than Saddam ever was !
2. Don't trust the Europeans or Americans
Frank J   (04.18.12)
Don't trust the Europeans or Americans a bit. Who slaughtered 6 million Jews during WWII - the Europeans, while their American cousins stood by watching and did nothing. They only entered the war after Japan attacked them. Now they are more concerned about saving their economy by delaying an Israeli attack with prolonged time-wasting talks with Iran, which enables Iran to facilitate the 2nd Holocaust easily. Its clear Israel has to help itself, not trust others, attack NOW !
3. During 1944
Max   (04.18.12)
During 1944, Jews were helpless..the USA never came to help despite repeated appeals. Now Israel is not helpless and should take action quickly against Iran. Don't fall for Obama's syrupy words, sanctions and rationality won't work against fanatics & madmen. One has to help themselves. Once bitten, be TWICE shy !
4. Gerome K J
Trust Bibi !   (04.18.12)
Trust Bibi ! He is the brother of the man who conducted the most spectacular hostage rescue operation in history (contrast to the American failed hostage rescue attempt in Iran in 1979). His father is one of the most renowned Israeli scholars. Both he & Ehud Barak is also highly educated and highly decorated veterans. Trust both of them, not Obama or USA - they are only bothered only about their election & economy. Remember WWII - no one came to help and 6 million died. Depend on ourselves, not others. Bibi & Ehud will save Israel from the dreaded nuclear fangs of the Ayatollahs and the second Holocaust.
5. BIGGEST danger to Israel is from LEFTISTS in the court and..
Truth ,   Israel   (04.18.12)
government. Iran may never hurt us but leftists are destroying the moral and heart of this country from the inside.
6. to 4
imad ,   jerusalem   (04.18.12)

7. To: John at No. 1
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.18.12)
If Israel had not bombed Osirac, just imagine what would have befallen the United States and coalition troops in Kuwait. But few people seem to remember that, and I am not aware of ANY coalition member that has ever bothered to thank Israel.
8. Bibi was like a lion protecting cubs
Nehama ,   Israel   (04.18.12)
I was very proud of Bibis speech. His honesty and desire to face horrors of past that can repeat themselves( Iran situation) were expressed strongly. I don't think I have ever seen him speak so fiercely like tonight on the need to protect ourselves from future holocausts. He discussed Jabotinsky warning of impending holocaust. It was very moving to watch him.
9. THOSE WHO DO DON'T TALK
DA URBAN POET ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (04.18.12)
And those who talk don't do. Bibi needs to put up ,or shut up .I am tired of his cheap talk.
10. Let's stop talking & destroy Iran's nukes.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.18.12)
Iran's Mad Mullahs have made it crystal clear that they intent to use nuclear bombs on Israel. They've said so many times. Moreover, their actions are fully consistent with their threats. Let's stop talking and destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
11. Be silent!
Beary White ,   Norway   (04.18.12)
This day shall be respected.
12. @ 10
(04.18.12)
I agree
13. Israel and Jews have all rights,,,
calabi ,   Sydney Aust   (04.19.12)
I love you Bibi and you are right! An Old Chinese saying... if someone claim to be your enemy and wanted to destroy you while sharpening his sword....you have the right to draw your sword first. (end)
14. Netanyahu is right. Hopefully he will
DT ,   HCM Vietnam   (04.19.12)
ignore a worthless world opinion
15. AMERICAN COUCH PATRIOTS WHO TELL ISRAEL TO GO TO WAR SHOULD
Me ,   HERE   (04.19.12)
GO TO ISRAEL & BE THERE TO FIGHT ON THE FRONT LINES AS WELL. THEN THEY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BITCH ABOUT IT.
16. It is Nertanyahu who has learned nothing from the
Al   (04.19.12)
Holocaust...indeed he has learned nothing from his own brother's death. Pompous pretentious and mouthy is best to describe this former furniture salesman who was shoehorned into the UN by Moshe Arens. A twice failed PM who has done precious little to secure Israel. His outrageous bombastic tone and grandstanding gibberish belies his true colours, that of a snake with nay a spine or belief. The proof is in the pudding. Isreal is no more safe today than under the former PM Olmerd. Indeed Israel is weak and getting weaker. Egypt is the next front..Gaza is an enemy state and Syria will only get worst. The IDf is into singing and looking PC. The soldiers are poorly trained, led and inspired. The command is more concerned about image and PR. Israel would do well to kick Netanyahu along with Barak and that COS Gantz to the curb ASAP. Israels survival is at risk should these three stooges continue in their present positions. Yes thats how serious the situation is.
17. My Heart Goes Out To All Holocaust Survivors
(04.19.12)
And their Famlies, my thoughts and prayers as well!!! לעולם לא ייתכן בהגנה הגשש שם על אותנו מפני רוע
18. Good speach
Arctodus Simus ,   Fort Yukon-Alaska   (04.19.12)
Netanyahu speaks the truth on that point !
19. The mantle of the prophet
Michael ,   Haifa   (04.19.12)
When it comes to the future anybody can be a prophet..you, me and Netanyahu..none of us has the ability of prophecy. But as opposed to you and me, Netanyahu has a motivation for his prophecy. His sole motivation for everything is keeping himself in power and scaring.us is one of the means to achieving that end. Everything he does is shrouded with cynicism. For him, PR is policy and the majority is quite happy to "buy" it.
20. Stop whinning like a wmp Bibi...
(04.19.12)
21. It is Shas that has learnt nothing from the hollacaust
Gadi ,   Haifa   (04.19.12)
Along with 6,000 000 jews murdered by the Nazis were also 250,000 gay men. Yet still today the Shas party fans the flames of hatred towards gay people. These despicable people that use religion as a guise to hide their true criminal activity are no better than those who persecuted the jews.
22. The lesson. Except for a tiny minority of righteous gentiles
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (04.19.12)
the Jews were all on their own. Mohatma Ghandi made a fool of himself with his gratuitous ignorant advice
23.  Berlievers killing ALLJews brings on the secret Imam."not
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (04.19.12)
antisemitic just anti zionist"??
24. not 10 milion, but 8 milion
(04.19.12)
I know well that you desparately love to be a big and decent nation but you have to wait for yours and yours and obtain experience and history before becoming a big nation. and of course to that end you could learn a lesson from a decent nation that you think in your wildest dream you are capable to attack. decency comes with understanding rather than by holocaust.
25. Holocaust day ceremony
Amos ,   Lagos Nigeria   (04.19.12)
The word of God is true, the God of Israel All that had befalling Israel is because they forgot God but the holy one is merciful who have given Israel great leaders like BIBI and prs. peres at this time of Iranian threat.
