2. Teaming up with -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (07.29.15)
Ezekiel chapter 38:13 - 13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions Comment - Yemen - Saudiarabia - merchants of Tarsis(EU). You do it to your own peril. Dan-chap.7 verses - 23 “Thus he said: ‘The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down and break it in pieces. 24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise; and another shall rise after them, and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 25 And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change times and laws; and they shall be given into his hand until a time, and times, and the dividing of time. 26 “‘But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. Dan.chap.9 vers - 27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week; and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease. And for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” Arn.Sweden.
3. Total nonsense. No amount of intelligence gathering will
(07.29.15)
mean much when Iran decides to launch nuclear missiles our way. We may simply anticipate it in advance. What will we do about it? Well, we know NOW, in advance, that the Mullahs plan our destruction, they say so openly, just like Hitler did. No need for Mossad here. What are we DOING now?! Nothing, except bitching about it!
4. How desperate and futile
Onas   (07.29.15)
You murder Palestinians and you think Arabs will take you seriously lol Arabs know you are just trying to use them so they will give you the cheap " yes yes sure" but won't care to do anything about it because they know Iran won't use. Ike's against Al Aqsa mosque. Arabs will simply start developing their own nuclear program and you will beat in twice as hard place. Odds are against you Thou seeketh, thou findeth
5. Gen Reshef is quite right. He has a good plan.Forget Obama
Alan ,   SA   (07.29.15)
and his Washington Chapter of the Muslim Brothers!
6. respect for reshef
alexi   (07.29.15)
I have respect for general reshef if this is the same general who is highly regarded. However generals get into trouble when they veer into poliitics though they have the right. They have been as wrong as civilians like bar of labour and herzog who is in a class by himself with his ineptitude, lack of judbgementg. Arabs cannot administger east jerusalem cause there would be the usuall disputes with jews every second over concocted slights. Jews have to have exclusive control and should have as few arabs as possible under their controll. The saudi initiative is no good period. Anything beilin toouches is no good period. Oslo has been an absolute disaster so don't think the saudi initative is some panacea, Rabin and barak and even bibi wanted to give golan to syria-OK??? Isis would be sitting on the kinneret if herzog had his way or livni or lapid whose arrogance is pathologic. I wouldn't get excited about israeli arab cooperation causeat the root, arabs hateisraelis period.
7. THESE ARE ALL GARBAGE.
IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (07.29.15)
If these are really our friends then they would put foot forward and really try to talk to PALIS and Israel and would really try to listen to both side and come up with a viable solution for both. Siding with us because we both the Persian mullahs is not the answer. Saudis or Iranians are not that different form each other.
8. What are you smoking Amnon?
Shep ,   United States   (07.29.15)
What are you smoking Amnon?
9. Isarels Security demands -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (07.29.15)
- a Military strike against Irans Nuclear program. Iran will never alone come for Israel without a Nucklear capacity for retaliation, in order for not be Nuced to Defeat and submission, when Iran lets all Her Conventional capacities bear upon and against Israel. Arn.Sweden.
10. Iran is pushing Israel and Arab states to allliance
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.29.15)
Iran is pushing Israel and moderate Arab states into a defacto alliance. We can't bet on how long it will last, but alliances are temporary by nature. Right now, the key thing for Israel is to destroy Iran's nukes and put an end, once and for all, to fictional "Palestine". The Saudis and others don't give a damn about "Palestine". They are far more concerned with the real threat of Iran.
11. Why?
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (07.29.15)
According to multiple reliable sources . . . Saudis funded 9/11. Saudis funded Al Qaida. Saudis are funding ISIS. Saudis have purchased and deployed lots of quick launch DF21C Medium Range Ballistic missiles targeted on Israel and Iran. Saudis have purchased nuclear warheads for the DF21C from Pakistan. Yes I think Israel should partner with the very people that are the most dangerous to Israel. Has anyone in Israel every looked at the Sunni extremists that control Saudi Arabia? They are a LOT more dangerous that Iran will every be, especially as the older generations die off and the younger ones want more power. Why so much blindness in Israel?
12. Deal?
Brad ,   Usa   (07.29.15)
Who cares about any deal? Muslim countries do not honor agreements with each other, let alone agreements with non-Muslim nations. They do what they want, and that's about it. Israel will have to destroy Iran pretty soon, because the USA is to feminine to do it.
13. #11
NilsG ,   Helsingborg, Sweden   (08.02.15)
You might add that it is from Saudi the fundamentalist preachers in the Western world are financed, that it is the Saudis that fund wahabite mosques ... they are not our friends. We have no common ground.
