1. The US is Irans ALLY ! STRIKE NOW !!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.07.14)
Israel MUST do, what MUST be done ! N O W !
2. Thank You America, for saving Israel's ungrateful tail again
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.07.14)
"No deal" means Iran can enrich and stockpile. "Bad deal" for Israel is anything that allows Iran to develop normally without sanctions. "Good deal" for Israel is permanent sanctions on Iran for all of eternity, keeping Iran down forever, and keeping Israel propped up.
3. Israel will lose this argument
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (05.07.14)
Bibi has burnt too many bridges with the USA and no longer has any influence. The P5+1 will get the best deal they can with Iran and move on, leaving Israel alone. Sure, Israel can then attack Iran, but the reality is Iran is heavily armed so Israel will lose lots of aircraft in the process and the rest of the world will isolate Israel economically even if Iran does not counter-attack. Israel is NOT self-sufficient, so any economic isolation will devastate the economy and lead to massive out-migration. When Bibi's government falls, Israelis need to really re-think their future. Hint: it is NOT by following the path the right has followed.
4. Obama wants a capitulation deal
CJK   (05.07.14)
obama is willing to capitulate to the shia terror regime. israel is not in a position to capitulate to the shia terror regime, a regime which with nuclear weapons poses an existential threat to the jewish state. israel cannot accept a nuclear threshhold iran which could produce nuclear weapons in mere months.
5. Netanyahu one trick pony show
Yechiel   (05.08.14)
Always Iran Iran Iran. You can fool some of the people all the time or all the people some of the time. God bless Israel. Peace.
6. What would Netanyahu do without Iran
Yechiel   (05.08.14)
If Iran makes peace with Israel...what would keep Netanyahu elected?
7. netanyahu - what do you want? Do you WANT a WAR with thousands of deads? ENOUGH is ENOUGH !

8. Obama to warnings:
Mira ,   Vienna   (05.08.14)
9. #1 no
(05.08.14)
Obama supports Iran, but Iran hates the United States. An Israeli attack on Iran will let Obama distract people from Lois Lerner, Obamacare and Benghazi. It will give Obama an excuse to isolate, and even attack Israel. Israel must do one thing: increase survivability by massive development of Judea and Samaria.
10. 1. What's stopping You! Off you Go
lydia ,   Brisbane   (05.08.14)
In 2006 Israel with Bush support got whopped by a ragtag poorly armed bunch of resistance fighter! Now you think Israel should take on Iran and a better armed resistance force even without US approval. Off you go then
11. talking at cross purposes
tom ,   toronto, canada   (05.08.14)
obama is NOT trying to prevent a nuclear-armed iran, whether via enriched uranium (which is already far in excess of civilian power needs), or via plutonium (which is purely for military purposes). his objective is to prevent a military confrontation with iran at all costs. therefore, he is anxious to accept any agreement, which will forestall the need for an american attack, and block the possibility of any israeli one. that's why he is pushing israel under the bus. (israel, which is about the size of the king ranch in texas, cannot afford a nuclear iran, or to have to resort to a second-strike.) but it still doesn't explain why he was so eager to lift the very sanctions that had brought the mullahs scurrying to the negotiating table - it isn't logical to fold when you're holding a winning hand, unless you have some reason to want to lose the game.
12. or Israel can ready themselves and
Erin ,   USA   (05.08.14)
sit back and expect HaShem to handle it. my concern is that bombings can take care of bombs, but hate on hate of Jews has not dissipated, I see it every day. What'll we do about that? That is my number 1 concern, as I have family that I love and wish to protect from this.Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak.
13. Nuclear arsenal enrichment
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn, Holland   (05.08.14)
Spoken about nuclear capability. Such arsenal in the possession of any dictatorial, criminal regime was/is a threat to humanity/humankind. For example: "islam"-Pakistan, "islam"-Iran. Same goes for all weapons of mass-destruction, what happened in World War 1 and in Syria. Also, even the United Nations Organization knows/has to know that and has to act, to serve and to protect the world-population/mankind, according to it"s own preamble and charter. Also, Israel, forever, ever and always!
14. To: No. 2 and No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.08.14)
I realize that you are both seriously outclassed here, but I will ask each of you a question: Can either of you spell "Qazvin?" You know -- the top-secret nuclear facility that just went BOOM!? Gee, who on earth do you suppose made that happen? And whatever on earth makes you think that Israel needs an aerial attack to destroy Iran? Israel can launch from the sea and from space platforms already in place. And we have boots on the ground that see everything all the time. Qazvin. Learn how to spell. Eat your idiot hearts out. Israel is here to stay. Iran? Not so much.
15. Obama to warning people:
Mira ,   Vienna   (05.08.14)
"La la la la, I can't hear you!"
16. Washington is not in Iranian missile range but Jerusalem is
zionist forever   (05.08.14)
The only threats American citizens have to worry about crime and the possibility a terrorist will get lucky some day which statistically is not high. Israel is surrounded by terrorists with advanced weapons, enemy arab states and Iran with advanced missiles that can hit every inch of Israel. Iran also wants to be a global power and top dog in the Middle East and to do that they need nukes, they may well put things on hold to pull the wool over Obamas eyes which isn't hard but the ambition is still there and when the time is right the program will be back into full swing, they even admitted that AT ONE POINT they planned to develop nukes but then changed their mind so we know they want the things. If this creates a rift with the US so be it but Israel's national security based on whats good for him and if it creates a rift so Obama can take the diplomats easy way out the way he diid in Syria.
17. Fool's errand
Robert ,   lost in farmington   (05.08.14)
It's a fool's errand, to even believe that peace can be made. If there was a real chance for peace, it would've happened a long time ago. We know what Israel enemies want, and that's the complete destruction of the Jewish state. nothing else is on the table, And to be honest I wouldn't want anything the Obama administration, or the Arabs have to offer. Because all it is, is smoke and mirrors. May the lord forever bless the Jewish State.
18. #4 - End your delusions and live in the REAL WORLD.
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (05.08.14)
The best deal that the P5+1 can get is some limits on Iran. If that is capitulation to you then you are not living in the real world. So what exactly do you think should be done given the FACTS that any attack would destroy the US and Israel economically and any attempt at further third-party sanctions will completely FAIL. Remember that Russia and China were extremely reluctant to do the current round of sanctions and with the US angering both recently, are very unlikely to help any further. The US will NOT attack Iran. Other than a few idiots, no one in the US wants any more wars. So you are left with no attack by the US and no more sanctions, so you have nothing left except delusional ranting.
19. Israel got Iraq's facilities and they will get Iran's
Yonatan ,   Dishon, Israel   (05.08.14)
Israel will not allow Iran to make a bomb
20. Iran is sitting on the borders of Israel
CJK   (05.08.14)
the shia terror entity's revolutionary guards are swarming in lebanon and syria ready to attack israel when given the order. the shia terror entity's terror proxies hezbollah and hamas, and islamic jihad, armed with advanced missiles, are also waiting for orders from the shia terror entity. none of this concerns obama. to the contrary, kerry has made it clear that the deal with iran regarding its nuclear weapons program will not in any way reach iran's various terror activities or proxy wars. hence, it is obvious that obama, contrary to his numerous assurances to the contrary, will never consider israel's national security needs.
21. 18, you live in la la land
CJK   (05.08.14)
israel alone could destroy the essential of iran's nuclear weapons program. a strike against iran would destroy the economy of iran, not the economy of israel and definitely not the economy of the united states.
