1. Shoula, if you think Bibi going to save us
Shachar ,   Eilat   (10.21.13)
then our situation is really dire. I can understand your pessimism with the int'l community but can't understand your optimism with Bibi. And no there is absolutely no connection between the situation with Iran and the situation with Nazi Germany. Two completely different problems at a different juncture of History.
2. GREAT ARTICLE!
jenny ,   tlv   (10.21.13)
Now please people, study your histoy! If you do not fight evil, evil will consume you! I understand for many the first reaction is to hate whoever is currently in power, after all, go back in time and you will see all those leaders we praise today, at the time of their leadership they where hated by the same % that hates current leadership now. I know I am talking to a wall as you know better, but if you guys do not stop the internal bickering and simply focus on one thing only, respecting history and the millions of jews already lost because they also felt you can negotiate with evil, history will unfortunately repeat itself.
3. Here we also hear only talk & the ticking of the clock!
tiki ,   belgium   (10.21.13)
4. To #1
jenny ,   tlv   (10.21.13)
History doesn't repeat itself on a 1:1 basis. Remember the saying, "history doesn't repeat itself but it sure does rhyme."
5. At least in the 30's there wasn't a Von Schmidt in the White
tom ,   tel aviv   (10.21.13)
House!
6. in 79 Carter refused entry to the Shah...
Pedro ,   Maputo, Mozambique   (10.21.13)
...although he had Terminal cancer and had been one of Americas most loyal ally. I could never forget this episode and it came back as a flash when they failed to support Mubarak. Obama is not as bad, but he lacks pragmatism in middle eastern policy
7. Some words.....
Gideon Reader   (10.21.13)
....Incompetent. Corrupt. Stupid. Bumbling, idiotic, Complicit. Feckless. Embarassing, Ill informed, When you have finished with those come back. I have others.
8. I'm a little afraid
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (10.21.13)
Jews didn't take an important lesson. Talmud is not the best guide for coexistence with anyone. Don't be surprise that on the end, your "racial superiority" will turn into your disaster. Again.
9. ...and you, of course, tiki-tock ; )
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (10.21.13)
10. Iran
GeorgeS ,   USA   (10.21.13)
Iran is not a threat to either Israel or the US. We are tired of fighting stupid wars. You have nuclear weapons and are a threat to every country in your region. You have bombed all of them. You should be disarmed.
11. Bibi knows our History
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (10.21.13)
Knowing our History is useful Displaced from the fertile crescent, to across the Jordan , a self imposed exile in Egypt, followed by Liberation and the LAW; A Kingdom and glory , before exile to Babylon 2600 years ago. Scattered among the Nations, and for the first time EVER we are a people in our home land, brought back on Kanfei Nesharim, able and willing to defend it ,through our truly magnificent army Have more resources to do so and live than ever before , we contribute to world advances, our children are among the happiest in the world, we produce more Nobel award per capita .. Bibi knows our history, and we should be proud of his leadership. He is doing all he can and the best we can. If we mean Never Again, then we have the right leader to make sure it is Never Again
12. Always on the blunder side.
Frank   (10.21.13)
Almost all he did as a president were blunders. This is his track record. What makes him think he is right this time in appeasing Khamenei? His chance of success is almost nil.
13. Shoula excellent observation
Edi McGuire ,   Chicago IL USA   (10.21.13)
Shoula you hit the hammer on the head. Socialists live in imagination land....or never never land. They are presented as safari guides but they can't find their way through a paper sack.They are very generous to sacrifice blood...others. They portray Terrorists heinous barbaric murderers...as Mister Rogers in the beautiful neighborhood....would you be mine could you be mine....But may I remind you motek....Adonai rules in the affairs of men. He covers Israel forever. He raises some bows others. Ever present help in time of trouble...and he is able to make a man bow...now or later. He will glorify his name through Iran and Syria.... Some trust in chariots some in horses but we will trust in the name of the L-rd our G-d Psalm 20:7 good article barchot v'tefillot mishpacha <3
14. Only Fools has no Fear !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (10.21.13)
I Quote - "Iran has no one to fear" !. Comment - Proverbs 1 : 32 - the prosperity of fools shall destroy them; Just wait and see !. Arn.Sweden.
15. #10 georgie s
aaron ,   toronto,canada   (10.21.13)
Now remind me again iran is not a threat to anyone do you remember the US military in Lebanon and 500 people blown up and the us running out like rats out of Lebanon or was that Israel bombing also? When and whom did iarael ever bomb before they attacked by these hateful muslim countries and their murderous leaders and these are the ones your president and his ADVISORS (HA) want to appease.
16. to no. 10- You can not be serious
Harry ,   Brockport, NY USAS   (10.21.13)
Your inane comment and those of countless others like you prove the author's point. Israel has only used its military power in self defense against neighboring countries and terrorists who wish its destruction. Its nuclear weapons are for self defense only and it does not threaten its neighbors with annihilation.The Iranian regime on the other hand openly sponsors terrorism against Israel and the West. It openly calls for the destruction of Israel and denies the holocaust.Your comment is factually incorrect and you should be embarrassed to express it. I suspect however that you and others like you actually believe it to be correct. That is why the current US administration is a danger to the world and Israel must be eternally vigilant.
17. Churchill never released murderers for "talks"
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (10.21.13)
Like Churchill (or Jeremiah long before), Netanyahu is warning those who don't want to hear his words. Maybe as the head of a Jewish state, he's cursed like Cassandra to be disbelieved. But Netanyahu does nothing for his credibility when he not only succumbs to wildly unbalanced prisoner exchanges, but releases convicted and unrepentant murderers as the "price" the enemy demands just to sit and talk. Churchill was before my time, but I'm confident he never would have agreed to such dangerously foolish behavior.
18. *17
Iletzter ,   TA   (10.21.13)
Totally CORRECT
19. #17:Churchill did not have Obama
Zipora ,   Tel- Aviv, Israel   (10.21.13)
Obama pressured Bibi to release the terrorists. Churchill did not have Roosevelt as an appeaser. Roosevelt wanted Hitler gone. he wanted Churchill to win in order for the US not to enter the war. the problem is that Obama does not let Bibi attack Iran and trying to weaken him by demanding a Palestinian state by promising Bibi US will attack Iran which is a bluff.. .
20. Bibi is only a "Churchill" in his own mind
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (10.21.13)
Until we actually see large portions of the 'facilities' lying in smoking ruins, will he be other than a dark, arrogant, slick talking, snake oil selling, Chamberlain.
21. Israel will Stand Alone
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (10.21.13)
Israel would be much safer, standing alone, than it is with Obama at its back.
22. Interesting diatribe
Cameron ,   USA   (10.21.13)
A rather sour, roundabout admission that only the US has the means and true ability to neutralize the Persian drive for nukes?
23. Israel has no one to fear. Obama UNSC '67 borders coming.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.21.13)
24. Trojan Horse is a menace to America
Brod ,   USA   (10.22.13)
Congress should wake up to protect America from the Trojan Horse and the dark forces of the world. The Ayatollahists knew all along that Hussien is not a threat to them. Now they want to control him. Once they put Hussien in their pocket, they will speed up their nuke production in secret. Only fools would believe that the Ayatollahists have no nuke ambition.
25. Obama, the greatest disaster to hit the world in a long time
CJK   (10.22.13)
the issue is not just that obama hates israel, although he definitely does. obama is also a pyromaniac, going around the world, setting fires: iran egypt lybia, syria, saudi and the other gulf states turkey now he is sending troops to 100 locations in Africa al qaeda is in ascendance and spreading.
26. Israel does best in "isolation".
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.22.13)
Israel is infinitely better off on her own than than listening to false "friends" like Obama. Israel need not fear "isolation". Israel is most magnificent in "isolation". In "isolation", we won all our wars, carried out Entebbe brilliantly, destroyed Iraqi and Syrian nukes and much much more. In "isolation", Israel must also destroy Iranian nukes.
27. Shoula ,...
split ,   US   (10.22.13)
Iran have 200 years of peaceful co-existence record with it's neighbors, what's your record? ,...
28. The black sheriff - Obama, America at its worse.
Calibi ,   Sydney Aust   (10.22.13)
The world have evolve and degenerated into lawlessness and is getting worse...... There are many different types of 21st century cowboys. The worse are Islamic cowboys and it happen that Obama the black sheriff proclaim he was voted to make peace!!!???????? Absolute no leadership but a true "followership" of voters and its dealership a cheap peace maker!!! To be a President of the world most powerful country is actually a world Sheriff! He does not fit the calling and is best he to be peaceful Buddhist monk like Dalaiobama.
29. This writer is the only one who says it like it is
Nofit ,   Israel   (10.22.13)
I hope others will follow her lead and stop bumbling
30. To. no 27- Fantasy
Syd ,   Huntington WV USA   (10.22.13)
I guess you have not heard of the Iran- Iraq war which lasted eight years from 1980 to 1988 and was the longest war of the 20th century with casualties in the hundreds of thousands. You seem to have overlooked Iran's direct involvement in terrorism including the bombing of the marine barracks in Lebanon and the Jewish Community Center in Argentina as well as the fact that it is is the main sponsor of the terrorist organizations Hezbollah and Hamas.
