61. #59. Did you miss history classes?
Tom W ,   USA   (08.17.12)
During every single war in the last 60 or so years the "friendly" US imposed a total arms embargo on Israel wanting Israel to loose. Truman, Johnson, Nixon (in the end he relented) all refused to support Israel. Go Google and learn. One more thing: the current Obamao and his administration are hostile to Israel. Many Americans support Israel and despise "That Man" who kissed the hand of the Saudi King. Photos: Google.
62. To #59...the Israeli Hater!
Taz Man ,   USA   (08.17.12)
Simply put: you're a godless fool! To the contrary, Israel can/will do just fine without the U.S.; however, in light of God's foreign policy of Genesis 12:1-3, it is the U.S. who's in danger, and is, currently reaping the I'll-winds of what it has sown by way of its treatment of Israel, and its turning away from God's holy precepts. All those who turn away from God's guidance, and who seek to harm His chosen people and their God-given land--will suffer the consequences for their actions--period! God bless, Israel and His Jerusalem! A Christian Zionist
63. To #52 Taner!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (08.17.12)
Your clear naïveté concerning the biblical and historical facts, of the Israeli and Arab struggle, are apparent; thus, your ignorance just makes you sound stupid! I could go into a long treatise, of the subject, for you, but I won't...I'm not wasting my time on clowns like you; therefore, I'll just let you wallow in your own misguided stupidity!
64. WHATS YOUR POINT???
Joe ,   USA   (08.17.12)
Whats your point?? Bush kissed the Saudi king on the lips and held his hand when taking him in the white house.
65. Israel stop whining!
Joe ,   USA   (08.17.12)
Why does Obama have any obligations toward Israel??? He is not the leader of Israel. If I where him I would not attack Iran since A: They don't pose a threat to us(america) I mean we faced the soviets armed with 50,000 nuclear missiles. and B: We just don't have the money to spend a decade long war against a country who can wreak havoc on are interest in the world. Ps it will not be a cake walk if america goes to war with Iran....it will be a decade long war.
66. Sarah B, Sarah B, Ynet needs help, where are you?? TATA

I agree with you. Obama wants to get re-elected at the expense of Israel security, and I will not vote for this President. In fact, I never voted for him in the first place. I am a Proud American who wants Obama out of the White House, and I will not give my vote to somebody who wants to send the Jewish People to another Holocoust by even thinking about the 67 borders. Hell not!!! I love America, and I love Israel, and I will not have Jewish blood on my hands by surrendering Israel´s territory to the terrorists. I will support my Country 100%, but I do not support a President who does not care abou the lives of the Jewish People in that part of the world. Pleasing terrorists is to shed innoecent blood.I We know the same God of Israel, but your Allah is not the same, ok. Sorry, if you are Muslim, you should protect lives not to send them to die for some stupid ideology of hatred coming from Iran and its bastards in the Middle East. God Bless America, and God Bless Israel....

No to war, at the very high cost of stripping defensive borders from another small country. Well, the war still came, London was still bombed, and American anti-war crowd had to join the army and land in Normandy and die I. The battle of the Buldge. All that could have been prevented if Hitler was stopped right there and then in 1938, or better yet 36 or 37, before he could fully rearm the German Army. The still happened, only it happen at Hitlers chosen time. Are you sure we'll be better off fighting the coming war at Iran's terms and choosing and after Iran organizes its Axis?
69. Joe, you are right, no difference between Husain and Bush
AK   (08.18.12)
There wouldn't be an Iranian theat if Carter didn't stab the Shah in the back and allowed Komeini take power. And Bush did absolutely nothing to stop Iran from working on the bomb. There'd be no terrorist threats and grandmas being groped at airports, if the US didn't save Arafat's hide over and over again, in the end giving him a chiefdom and proving that terrorism is a very effective tool to win wars. Arabs used terrorism against Israel since 1948, without having to pay a prize for it and every single American administration was complicit in it. And now, Americans don't want war, the way Europeans didn't war in the 1930s, unfortunately, now, as then, we cannot stop it, just choose the time most advantageous to us.
70. To the Author: In 1973 Israelis were told
AK   (08.18.12)
Not to use a preemptive attack against Egypt, but wait for Egypt to attack first. Even with the whole of Sinai as a buffer, we all know the price Israelis paid for surrending to American dictate. Israel bled heavily, almost lost the war and Israeli spirit was broken. Israel became American vassal, instead of being an independent state. You, Sir, sound like a vassal.
