1. The strike that may or not happen? The crisis in Euro, that
tom ,   tel aviv   (08.12.12)
may or not happen? The Re-election of Obama that may (Allah forbid!) happen? That's economics for you: The science related to Alchemistry :-))
2. Nothing as DIRE as RADIATION
D Kaplan   (08.12.12)
Better high explosive now than nuclear warheads later. One can live with the former, but the land will be contaminated after the latter. Nip the Ayatollahs in the bud ! Iran already has enough 20% enriched Uranium for 4 nukes (just 1 is enough to wipe out Israel). Attack Iran now !
3. mmmm
Marcelo ,   BA / Berlin / TLV   (08.12.12)
so, we have on one side a strike on the lunatic regime of Iran would stop global terror infrastructure, stop existential thread to Israel as well as speed up the downfall of islamists, o the other side, we could face a economic problem....I would prefer not to eat cottage cheese for some time but have the chance to get a life...but, you know, tycoons think different..
4. HEy Dummy..If Iran strikes first you are dead...
Al   (08.12.12)
Give the guy a medal..he is a genius. Iran has to be taken out..they are gunning for you and they will drop a bomb on you should they have a chance...

6. Nothing as bad as a nuke on TLV or Jerusalem.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (08.12.12)
7. Well, yeah. Everything downwind will be radioactive.
Rivkah   (08.12.12)
That will be very costly.
8. Israel is indeed fortunate to have a guy like Fisher
Alan ,   SA   (08.12.12)
He is quite right about Iran Strike effect on economy .Also about EURO implosion.
9. Our "leaders" have tunnel vision
Bruno ,   Haifa   (08.12.12)
They are convincing themselves that they have no choice and have stopped thinking about alternatives. If Bib can seriously think that the answer to bombing Iran will be that he "is prepared to take responsibility" in front of a commission of enquiry then he is even more stupid and petty than we already thought. We should be much more worried about the quality of Bib's decision-making than by the Iranian bomb itself. The half-life of the after-effects of Israel attacking Iran will stretch to decades - and make our life in Israel as well as outside it completely insecure, personally and economically. Tourism, visits and international business will cease instantly, and Israelis will be unable to set foot outside of Israel. This will ruin life in Israel as we know it. Talking about limiting the deficit is a joke compared to what Bibi will bring down on our heads.
10. DON'T WORRY STANLEY
DA RAP ARTIST ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (08.12.12)
You will be alright .But the rest of us may be in for a rough time.
11. Better an economic crisis from which
DT ,   TA Israel   (08.12.12)
Israel will recover than dead
12. one H bomb can ruin your economy too...
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (08.12.12)
and the rest of the list as well.
13. Energy Investors are making predictions
Ezra ,   SanDiego USA   (08.13.12)
Energy Investors in the internet are gambling on oil prices going up to $250 (USD) a barrel from a conflict in the middle-east. However, they perceive the conflict including Shea Muslims surrounding, then attacking Sunni's in Saudi Arabia. It's interesting to see the perceptions of investors.
14. To # 2
Stan ,   Israel   (08.13.12)
Iran will not use nuclear weapons against Israel. This cannot be guaranteed of course if Bibi irresponsibly attacks Iran first!
15. To # 9
Stan ,   Israel   (08.13.12)
Well said Bruno ! I would add that Bibi is keeping us and the whole world busy with Iran, so that he can continue building settlements in Yosh.
16. Unbelievable idiocy from Fisher! Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.13.12)
Iran's genocidal leaders threaten Israel with nuclear destruction and Fisher worries Israeli response will hurt our economy!!! Unbelievable idiocy. Nothing hurts an economy more than a nuclear explosion or two. And Stan the Fool: by what divine wisdom are you sure Iran won't nuke Israel? Do you pretend to know better than Iran's leaders? Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
17. # 16
Stan ,   Israel   (08.13.12)
As I have told you before, the greatest threat to the continued existance of the State of Israel is the occupation and the settlements. SA 's economy and military were the strongest in Africa (As is Israel in the ME) More than 20 years of boycott caused the White Regime to collapse. This is what will happen to Israel if you and those who think like you continue to have their way.
