1. These guys are experts at fearmongering
PaulZion ,   Israel   (07.03.12)
I'm trembling in my boots.
2. World: I suppose this doesn't look like a threat to Israel?
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (07.03.12)
3. U S companies to sever with Lebanon
joe ,   uk   (07.03.12)
get the palistinians P R to do this they are expert at it because if rockets hit israel they will be affected
4. its ISRAEL thats being fooled
Dan Goldman   (07.03.12)
For everyone's benefit, its ISRAEL thats being fooled. There is a huge nexus that has formed between Obama, Europe, IAEA & Iran under the leadership of crafty Ashton to create an illusion that the problem is being solved to prevent an Israeli attack. All of them benefit if there is no war while Israel alone loses when Iran gets the bomb. Netanyahu is one of the few who can see through this plot (even Barak seems to have been taken in) but whether he has the guts to act alone is the question.
5. attack now !
Frank Baum   (07.03.12)
Obama, the cunning Ashton & Europeans are trying to provide Iran a watered down deal that allows them to enrich Uranium & build a nuke secretly, while pulling the wool over Israel's eyes. Its good that Netanyahu & Barak are not falling for the charade of Ashton and others. Dismantle Fordow, stop all enrichment & hand over the 20% stocks immediately. Else the bombs drop. Obama, Ashton & the European wussies can go and waltz alone somewhere or jump in the drain.
6. Israel vs Revolutionary Guards.
Dan ,   Tel aviv   (07.03.12)
so , will Israel strike Iranian nuclear faciliaty , when the Revolutionary Guards has capability to retaliate effective Israel?, note , U.S is remote and Iran will be able to reach. Better Israel strike Revolutionary Guards today when you are weak than tomorrow when they are enough strong .
7. So help me
Devorah   (07.03.12)
I'd bet money that Ashton wears a pointy cone bra to match the missiles when Iran gets like this.
8. #4 - Israel loses EVERYTHING
spyguy ,   Seattle USA   (07.03.12)
if there is a war. Sure, Israel can throw nukes all over, but in the end, Israel will still be gone and whatever Jews that survive on earth will be deeply hated by the rest of the survivors and treated very badly. You may get your blood-lust filled for a few hours with an attack on Iran, but very quickly you will be deeply regretting your stupidity. Attacking Iran will turn out very BADLY for all Jews. The BEST thing for the future of Jews is figure out how to get along with your neighbors, which will require eating a LOT of humble pie and begging for forgiveness.
9. I'm sure israel can reciprocate
Sarah B (no not her)   (07.03.12)
and test a missile that can hit Iran, and then trump them by testing a nuclear device. The fearmongering by Israeli media is increasing the flight of those with second passport holders leaving the country If we can afford about now would be a good time to test a Jericho missile. That is what an arms race is all about
10. Shitmadinejad in action
Joe King ,   Haifa-Israel   (07.03.12)
No virus for these missiles????? :-)
11. The post at No. 9 is NOT mine...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.03.12)
This troll should give up because I am the real Sarah B and every one knows it. Even idiots know who the real Sarah B is...
12. #8: For an Antisemite you are quite stupid as well!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (07.03.12)
The world doesn't need any reason to hate Jews, a fact which is quite evident in your comment. The "stupidity" is that of the world trusting the USA to stop the lunatic regime in Tehran from attacking its allies like Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States and then Europe. Your hatred of Jews seems to negate what little intelligence you might have in not realizing that if Iran fires missiles on Israel they will kill more Arabs than Jews and totally wipe out the Palestinians on the West Bank. Thanks to Iran the Arab world will disappear with Iran but Israel and Jewish people will survive because we protect own own from the likes of you. The best thing for Jews is to remember that the world stood by when 6 million of us were butchered and to make sure that this will never happen again and never to trust anyone but ourselves withe the future of our people.
13. #7: Obama has bought the hat to match!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (07.03.12)
I heard that the Iranians are calling their missiles the "Ashton-Hussein" Mark II.
14. #9 Sarah B. (even if it is her)
Ariel ,   Modi'in   (07.03.12)
Why should Israel test a nuclear device now when there has been speculation that she has already done so over 30 years ago in the South Atlantic near the Prince Edward Islands??
15. #12 You're the idiot (and the hater)
Tim ,   UK   (07.03.12)
#8 is bang on the money. Sorry you can't see that. Perhaps it's your arrogance and tribal nature (ie: "we protect our own") that prevents you seeing reality. Or perhaps you're just an idiot.
16. #13 David - LOL!!!
Devorah   (07.03.12)
Very clever, David. Can you picture ZerO in his dunce hat and Ashton in her bra admiring each other's cones? It reminds me of an ancient SNL Conehead episode where Beldar told his wife, Prymaat, "You give good cone."
17. Missile Envy
Adam Neira ,   Paris, France   (07.03.12)
The boys down the road can play with their toys in their backyard all they like, as long as they don't lob any missiles over the neighbour's fence. It would be better obviously if certain men who are still boys would grow up and seek more peaceful possibilities on the international stage. BTW, how many men all around the world suffer from missile envy ?
18. #6 - Per the IDF, Iran already has the capability
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (07.03.12)
of causing massive destruction in Israel . The IDF says there are over 50,000 reasonably accurate missiles targeted on Israel this very moment. Those missiles are targeted on the population and business centers, not vacant desert. Iran has been preparing for a major US attack for over 30 years and is completely self-sufficient in a wide variety of weapons and has carefully watched as the Iraqis and Afghans defeated the US - Iran is NOT weak and you would be a fool to mess with them. The IDF leaders know just how badly they would lose, but the people of Israel refuse to listen to the military leaders.
19. To #14, Ariel
Gabe ,   Canada   (07.03.12)
One of us must return to school and take Geography 101. Prince Edward Island is in the North Atlantic. It is also a Canadian Province.
20. To #14, Ariel
(07.03.12)
My mistake Ariel. I am on my way back to school.
21. #18 spyguy
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (07.03.12)
What do you think, will be left from Iran if Ahmadinutjob and his Mad Mullahs are stupid enough to fire a large number of missiles (either conventional or non-conventional) at Israel?!?
22. #14 It is a very simple concept
Sarah B (no not her)   (07.03.12)
called deterrence. It is becoming increasingly obvious that Iran is not being deterred by Israel's current defence stance. If Israel's continual survival is Netanyahu's stated aim, then a show of strength is required. What will Israel do if Iran starts lobbing a ton of he at Tel Aviv for a couple of weeks? Conventionally Israel does not have a hope in hell of defeating Iran who have twice as many people under arms than Israel has people. Israel nneds to put on a show of strength, and what better show of strength than to have a nuclear weapons test, confirm to the world that it is nuclear and it will be left alone like North Korea.
23. #11 Sarah B (I know it's not her)
Sarah B (no not her)   (07.03.12)
I'll humour you as it is clearly not Sarah B. My name is Sarah my surname begins with B. I am a resident of Tel Aviv posting in an Israeli paper. You might not like it, but there is more than one Sarah B on Planet Earth
24. Spuyguy
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.03.12)
It's not a good idea to underestimate Israel. The Arabs keep making that mistake over and over. The Persians may learn that lesson soon.
