31. Excellent script. Directed by Peter Jackson et Al
Jerome ,   AKL   (08.15.12)
It's not that I am so much in love with New Zealand, but Peter Jackson is an excellent director for this science fiction story. Our Rachel Hunter may play the hooker, she looks like one.
32. Amazing what IDF leaves lying around!
KiwiGirl ,   Auckland   (08.16.12)
Maybe they just want to scare the hell out of Ahmadinadonkey- If only it were true!
33. iran
graham key ,   odessa canada   (08.15.12)

34. Silverstein
Simcha ,   NYC USA   (08.15.12)
What a yenta! Mr. S-. you have no idea what the IDF has up it's sleeve. But your gossip sounds like a good start.
35. Wa To Go, Silverstein, Schmuck of the Year
emanon ,   USA   (08.15.12)
Ay successful military operation relies on surprise. This Silverstein must be Nuetra Karti (not sure of spelling, but you know what I mean).
36. leaks
Sal ,   Detroit USA   (08.16.12)
WOW! iDF must have the obama people keeping their secrets.
37. sad when a Jew like Silverstein helps the enemy of Israel
elianna ,   Jerusalem   (08.15.12)
If some Jews were not so self hating and doing all they can to hurt Israel and the interests of Jews, Am Israel would be in a much better and stronger position that anti-semitism would not be have such a foothold and be so strong today. shame on you.
38. Silverstein leaks every rubbish he can get
Yael Schlichting ,   currently Munich   (08.16.12)
I am seriously wondering, why this guy still is getting attention in Israeli publications.
39. #2 - Lean back and wonder why
Yael Schlichting ,   currently Munich   (08.16.12)
I remember in 2006 Arabs chanting hurray on Hezbollah missiles and in the next moment demanding shelters from the government. I deeply regret, that the average normal and honest among the stateless Arabs has to suffer under this situation, but I recommend to go to Abu Mazen and tell him, that he must start talking and not always continuously find cheap excuses and new preconditions, to avoid talks!
40. I'm very disappointed with Ynet
Louis ,   Chicago   (08.16.12)
If this blogger is irresponsible, Ynet is even more so. Shame on you!!!!
41. and in other news...
Sam ,   Sunnyvale USA   (08.16.12)
Baghdad Bob says that Saddam Hussein is still winning the war with the US. Seriously, why does Ynet give this joker any credibility?
42. This is Fantasy, But There is Another Option
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (08.16.12)
These news media are nothing more than tabloids...sort of like our own weekly entertainment scandal rag sheets, but w/o the models. Is any of this credible? Leaks galore, each receiving adding more fantasy to the story. Reminds me of someone who believes he is being stalked, no matter out outrageous the incidents. More like paranoia. Yet he believes his allucinations,and that is what this entire article is. Hit all 30 plus districts..with what, as if Iran doesnt have defenses. What about its surrogages, will they stand stil lor Russia for that matter? Knock out the entire electrical grid making commands useless (as well as knowledge of the war)? Someone is testing a sci-book here. Look, Israel, using WMD, can hurt Iran's nuke sites, missile launchers, and Rev Guards..notice I said, using nukes. Destroying Iran with 50 plus nuke warheads on all the platforms available is not fantasy. India/Pakistan threated to use their 200 plus nuke arsensals...and mobilized millions at the borders. The US used 2 bombs as we know. The question is: would Israel, (read the Samson Complex), resort to the ultimate offense? Some people dismiss it as fantasy..others say, why not! 64 dollar question.
43. Away From Fantasy, Israel Again Threatened
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (08.16.12)
There is fiction and there is reality. This entire article is bogus, nonsense. Just today, the Supreme Leader again threatened Israel's very existence. He did not just refer to hitting military sites..its the entire country that has to be destroyed. Given that, is he bluffing? Does Iran have that capability? Are they waiting for a successful testing of their "bomb". They, for over 10 years have reiterated that its for peaeful purposes only...for medical isotopes and local fuel consumption. Yet are not behaving that way. One nuke over Tel Aviv, and the country is effectively history..even IF Israel retaliates with it's up to 500 nukes on Jerichos, F15i, F16Is, Dolphin creuise missiles, suitcase bombs and artillery. This is the bottom line: report to Congress revealed 30m and 15m Iranian/Syrian casualties in a full scaled war, 1m Israeli casualties. That was a few years ago. Both countries are stronger now., both have anthrax and smallpox arsenals..which can kill millions. We see how small fires can hinder Israel's north ( arson believed). A nuke is something else. Would Iran emulate Germany during WW2? Hitler said the Jews are toast if Germany is attacked. He wsarned England then the Blitz and the Shoah. Iran again today said Isrfael will be destroyed. Is the Supreme Leader just foaming at the mouth or is he serious?
44. Nuts!
AmericanMuse ,   USA   (08.16.12)
Israel is nuts if it attacks Iran!
45. Richard Silverstein and the truth
Glenn Richter ,   New York, USA   (08.16.12)
Richard Silverstein has a long history of substituting fantasy for fact when blogging about Israel. YNet was taken in by his sensationalism, rather than challenging him to prove his allegations.
46. BS
Zyx ,   US   (08.16.12)
Yeah, right, Richard Silverstein received all the details about Bibi's plan! Actually, there is nothing so surprising in what he describes, only stuff the Iranians should be already prepared for. What kind of manipulation is this? Is he lying or is he manipulated? The pro-arabs Israel basher are more and more ridiculous every day.
47. IDF's weapons, a qustion to experts...
Frank ,   Zürich, Switzerland   (08.16.12)
Independently from the amount of truth about IDF's weapons capabilities that is in this blogreport, i have a question about IDF's known capabilities: Why is everybody talking about airplanes flying to Iran? Can't the whole operation be done solely with conventional Jericho 3 missiles launched from Israel? I would like to know that if somebody is an expert....Thanks
48. RICHARD SILVERSTEIN
ari yeroshalmi ,   nyc   (08.16.12)
RICHARD SILVERSTEIN IS A NON-PERSON BEING USED IN A DISINFORMATION PLOT BY IRAN TO PROVOKE A RESPONSE FROM ISRAEL REGARDING IT'S REAL PLANS FOR WAR!
49. Dreaming
Euskadian ,   Euskadi   (08.16.12)
Wake up you are dreaming Hollywood scripts,US, NATO , EU can't handle Iraq or Afganistan. Zionist don't have a hope, in case Zionist are waiting for Jehovah He is having a long nap. Good luck is much more appropriate .
50. It must be hard for other nations to imagine........
michael weizmann ,   New Zealand   (08.16.12)
......Israel being able to mount such a worthily defensive attack. But only if one has an inferior mind and a collective memory extending back only to the Holocaust, and not to 1948,1967,1973 and a little further to the times of Moses, Joshua, Elijah and David. As one says, "Watch this Space"--both Cyber and Air. It is about to be filled with things even those Heros dared not imagine. Gratis of their saviour, Hashem.
51. HERE are the facts:
RichInBoston ,   Boston USA   (08.16.12)
EMP. Electromagnetic Pulse. It worked in Syria. It will work in Iran. There is NO practical counter-measure. The Iranians have no idea what' awaits. Israel is not Iraq.
52. "Silverstein" forgot to tell...
Beary White ,   Norway   (08.16.12)
that US will have to do the first raid, with the most powerful bunker-buster Then it is just manicure...
53.  is nonsense
sam ,   cairo   (08.16.12)
This blogger eat much at dinner and then slept and woke up when he suddenly thought of this plan is nonsense
54. Psychological Warfare
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.16.12)
"There are but two powers in the world, the sword and the mind. In the long run the sword is always beaten by the mind. -- Napoleon Bonaparte"
55. #47 Frank
DavidR ,   USA   (08.16.12)
If anyone with the knowledge to answer your question truthfully, and they did answer, they would have to be stupider than silverstein. But you can be sure Y-Nut would publish it.
56. Memo proven fake
Elder of Ziyon ,   NJ, USA   (08.16.12)
The "memo" was taken word for word from a Hebrew message forum post a few days ago. Read my blog, Israellycool, or Harry's Place to see details. Hope to see a correction soon. And that you learn never to trust that fraud as a source.
57. Could be a decoy leak.
Samuel Prime ,   Canada   (08.16.12)
That leak could be strategic leak intended to confuse the enemy, so that they would actually be more unprepared for what is to hit them. It seems too to have been based on no official document, but merely text based.
58. With this "plan" there's no chance of failure.
Persian CAT   (08.16.12)
Israel should have attacked yesterday!
59. To Frank (#47) - check Abdullah Toukan's study
Guy ,   KC, USA   (08.16.12)
Abdullah Toukan at CSIS calculated the impact overpressure necessary to destroy various sites with Jericho IIIs. You can try out some of these formulas by reading "Effects of Nuclear Earth-Penetrator and Other Weapons," which is available free as a .pdf at NAP. I'm still not clear as to whether earth-penetrator packages like GBU-28s would be needed to first make 'swiss cheese' of a harden ed target before destroying the facilities with hypersonic IRBMs.
60. Silverstein and his "source", many past wrong infos
Gael ,   France   (08.16.12)
Not the fist time Silverstein and his so called inside source are wrong. A year ago, he predicted a war with iran before november 2011. Maybe deep thorat is his mind? And shin beth would already got the source, it is too serious for bloggers regardless his opinion
