1. Well...
Yakir ,   Switzerland   (10.29.05)
i guess it's too late now, the threat is already done and the "answer" for it, you will get probably very soon. Israel doesn't play games...
2. Iran Incitement
Lemar ,   UK   (10.29.05)
This would be the perfect moment to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities,
3. violence according to koran
gil ,   ashkelon   (10.29.05)
Ambassador is just remembering the world that according to Koran killing non-moslems is not violence:it is holy duty which deserve sanctity for killers.Conclusion: throwing atomic or gas bombs on Israel is not violence.
4. Trusting Pathological Liars
Marcel ,   Florida   (10.29.05)
Israel has placed much trust in the so called peace process to bring about true and lasting peace. It's been a complete failure because the cult of death and jihad have no intention of any true real or lasting peace. Israel has yet to awaken to this reality because it trusts in lies and the agreements it has made with these liars. The pathetic politicians who rule Israel still think the Palestinians will curb their own fellow jihadists cousins .How stupid Israel has become !
5. Too Late
Mark ,   United States   (10.29.05)
At least the Iran President was honest and direct. He said the truth and that is a new concept for Iran. He defended his initial staterment so even the U.N. condemned Iran. The U.N. did something useful fot achange.
6. wipe out israel, but no violence. right...
mike ,   usa   (10.29.05)
since muslims say targeting and killing women and children is considered ok, it is no stretch to say they want to eliminate israel without violence. in other words they are lying, plain and simple, because they know the west will believe this.
7. iran backing out, just like a good terror state....
Hiram ,   Tel Aviv   (10.29.05)
....when confronted to the rest of the world ...Mahmoud is just like all other petty criminals and terrorists.....afraid to loose power and find himself the dictator of a ghost republic. Like all psychotic individuals he will change moods according to environment...but there are words that stay for ever.....
8. Shut your hole Marcel
Newt   (10.29.05)
Israel is not stupid. They know better than anyone that Muslims lie....especially the Palestinians. They've gone around and around with the Palestinians before and know how to play the game.
9. I wish Israel strike first
Stephen,S ,   Toronto, US   (10.29.05)
Just curious to see Iran's reaction. I doubt they will not react to an Israeli aggression. Will be any escalation? Millions of dead on both sides? But let's wait and see.
10. #8 Newt - Marcel is an extremely STRONG SUPPORTER OF ISRAEL
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (10.29.05)
You say Israel knows "how to play the game". Wow! This is what Israel under intense U.S. pressure has done. 10,000 Jews criminally made jobless and homeless for implacable enemies sworn to Israel's destruction. . Huge chunks of Jewish land and assets given as free gifts to Islamist-jihadists who are fighting for Islamic conquest of all Israel.
11. Shalom is either fool or liar
Shlomo ,   Jerusalem   (10.29.05)
The U.N. is changing its stripes and becoming pro-Israel....Israel has improved in the world's eyes...our FM must either be a fool or a liar to say such nonsense...I would be laughing if it was not so dangerous...the only reason Israel is being more accepted now is because Israel first surgically destroyed its southern frontier and the lifes of the border heroes and now is planning to decapitate the historical and highly-strategic highlands of Judea, Samaria & E. Jerusalem...believe me, when the U.N. and Europe is "happy" with Israel...it means we are in big trouble and essentially heading in the direction of weakness and dependence...when we are hated by the U.N., Europe, and even the U.S., you will know we are taking the path of Jewish sovereignty in the Holy Land....being loved by your anti-semitic enemies is not a good sign...and after 57 years of U.N. diplomatic terrorism against Israel and centuries of pogroms throughout Europe, excuse me if I need a longer-term and greater signs of the changing of our haters' stripes..wake up Israelis...wake up...
12. iran/israel remarks
derek ,   umtata   (10.29.05)
it is about time that we as christians world-wide condemned in the strongest terms any attempt by iran and its allies to undermine the state of israel.Personally i would not stand by and allow israel to be "wiped out"-i would be prepared to lay down my life---we cannot allow the jews to be persecuted ---enough is enough
13. STUPID COMMENT!!
Makile ,   Toronto, Canada   (10.29.05)
man, you people have a lot to learn, if you only know what Iran is getting to, then you would know its real true value. i really do think israel likes playing games, i can see little palestinian children vicorious over israeli troops with just throwing rocks with sling shots....i mean how pathetic can the isreali army get.....got help them, i swear. Even look back to Lebanon which is a quarter of the size of israel, they were kicked out by some small militia named hizbollah or something like that, a bunch of villagers kicked israel out of lebanon, now i can really see how stupid of a state israel is.....god!! not because you're israeli then you should have a bias opinion, learn to read the news, and read about different countries.
14. Makile from Toronto
Jared ,   Toronto, Canada   (10.30.05)
You're right it was stupid for the president of Iran to say something like this. Shows the rest of the world his true colours. Even CHINA said he was a dufous for saying that! You're just in denial that the old pattern of blaming Israel may just be turning into blame Iran, and Syria. Stop empathesizing with someone advocating genocide. You're a racist and don't belong in Canada!
15. Israel Terror first
Peggi ,   IL   (10.30.05)
Good job makil, U are totaly true, these guys supporting terrorist state all the way. I am 100% sure that Israel is the source of instability -not in the middle east alone- worldwide. Israel has to learn how to make peace NOt how to control other people.
16. IRAN'S PHONY VOW NOT TO USE FORCE
Leo Rennert ,   Bethesda, USA   (10.30.05)
Iran's phony vow not to use force against another country is a bald-faced lie. Even as Tehran issued this statement, Iran was conducting a war of terror against Israel by use of proxies like Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Four years ago, former Iranian President Ali Rafsanjani threatened to use a nuclear weapons to destroy Israel. So much for Iran's pretense to comply with the U.N. charter against threatening use of force or using force against another country
17. A Nuclear Waste
Howard ,   Pacific Coast, USA   (10.30.05)
Iran has only 2 strategic enemies (USA, Israel), and these are only enemies because Iran persists in sponsoring terror groups to attack them and pursuing nuclear weapons. Of course, any attempt to use nukes against the *USA* would invite retaliation that would kill most of Iran's population and leave the country a wasteland for milennia. Iran's nuclear program has only one purpose: the murder of Israelis. Rafsanjani revealed the "thinking" of Iran's top brass when he said that Iran could wipe out Israel, and Israel would only wipe out a small fraction of Muslims in retaliation. This psychopathic statement, coupled with Ahmadinejad's rabid drivel, shows that not only is the Iranian government willing to plan the cold-blooded murder millions of innocent Israelis; in order to accomplish this insane goal, they are willing to poison with nuclear fallout the very Temple Mount, murder millions of Palestinian Muslims, and invite nuclear retaliation that would kill millions of ordinary Iranians. Apparently, they not only consider the murder of millions to be a good thing, but they in fact regard millions of their fellow Muslims to be expendable. I'm glad that much of the world responded with a demonstration of revulsion. I am disgusted that with the striking exception of Mr. Erakat, who impressed me with a clear, unambiguous and principled response (but where was Mr. Abbas?), the Arab world said nothing. I am unhappy, but not surprised, that the UN did not even slap Iran's wrist. Talk is cheap. Such a waste.
18. #17(Howard) Arab silence doesn't mean complicity
Miss Muslima ,   London England UK   (10.30.05)
"I am disgusted that with the striking exception of Mr. Erakat, who impressed me with a clear, unambiguous and principled response (but where was Mr. Abbas?), the Arab world said nothing. " The Arab may have said nothing in public, and the reason for that is because they don't want to be seen siding with the "enemy" against one of their own muslims. Having said that, the silence doesn't mean they agree with what the Iranian President said.
19. iranian remarks
k.v.john ,   India, Kerala   (10.30.05)
Iranian Leader is not the part of civilised world. Deadlier than birds flu virus.
20. how they do that
Ali ,   sweden   (10.30.05)
The creation of Israel was the culmination of the Zionist movement, whose aim was a homeland for Jews scattered all over the world following the Diaspora. After the Nazi Holocaust, pressure grew for the international recognition of a Jewish state, and in 1948 Israel came into being, It means there was no land for them i do not know why?! how could they force plastinen out from thier land !?
21. You don't trust Iran's word? They said they would destroy
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (10.30.05)
the US and Israel. This current meglomanic is a brother to that little shrimp in korea that thinks he can destroy the US, only his people are starving because he can't even help the farmers do their job. Who came first, did the arabs teach the koreans to lie or was it the other way around?
22. THE DEATH OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION?
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (10.30.05)
Western nations supposedly wage a war on terror, yet empower global jihad by immorally rewarding the jihadist-Islamist maiming and murder of thousands of Jewish innocents with Jewish land and assets. Laws that protect; laws that are the foundation of Western civilization are rejected. We are witnessing the death of Western civilization. The motivation to maim and mass murder innocents was explained by Abu Zaid: "to marry the 70 virgins that are promised to me by the Koran." In the Bible, Exodus 20, G-D commanded: "You shall not murder." Leviticus 24:17 "If a man takes the life of any human being, he shall surely be put to death." Islam teaches all nations must be brought under total domination and subjugation by Islam. Part of article, Oct 28, 2005: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/638734.html Suicide bomber expressed desire to be a martyr By The Associated Press The suicide bomber who struck in Hadera told his mother that he wanted to be a martyr, she said yesterday in Qabatiyeh, a village in the northern West Bank. Hassan Abu Zaid blew himself up Wednesday outside a felafel stand in the Hadera marketplace, killing five people and injuring 30 others. "He used to ask me, `What are you going to do if I become a martyr? Are you going to be happy, to celebrate?'" said Abu Zaid's mother, Ruqaia. "I used to tell him, `Don't say that. I want you to grow up and to get married.' But he would say, `I don't want to get married. I want a palace in heaven and to marry the 70 virgins that are promised to me by the Koran.'" Palestinian Authority Muslim society support the mass murder and maiming of innocents. Part of article from: JPost.com » Middle East » Article Oct. 27, 2005 23:00 | Updated Oct. 27, 2005 23:38 Bomber's hometown celebrates attack By KHALED ABU TOAMEH "Thousands of Palestinians took to the streets of Kabatiya, south of Jenin, Wednesday night to celebrate the suicide bombing in Hadera, which was carried out by local resident Hassan Abu Zeid. Chanting Allahu Akbar (God is great), some 3,000 people, including Fatah and Islamic Jihad gunmen, converged on Abu Zeid's home to "congratulate" his family on the success of the attack, which killed five people and wounded more than 30. They also called for more suicide attacks in Israel."

Boaz ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (10.30.05)
The fact that we have a right for this land, which is a right over ourselves, does not mean the Palestinian don’t. We did agree to share the land, which a home land for both nations. But the Palestinians with the help of the Arab world tried to cleans us to see.
24. #15

25. Learn to write a sentence Makile
(10.30.05)
You make NO SENSE AT ALL!
26. Okay Peggi
(10.30.05)
Why don't you move your racist ass to the middle east and join in on the killing of Jews. That ought to make you feel better.
27. You are so full of crap Miss Muslima
Newt   (10.30.05)
"The Arab may have said nothing in public, and the reason for that is because they don't wasnt to be seen siding with the 'enemy' against one of their own muslims." Oh I see. So right or wrong, Muslims stick together. Better the world finds out about this attitude now and rids their countries of Muslims. If the United States is attacked once again by Muslims, then we have every right to hold every single Muslim living in the states accountable. That is your reasoning isn't it Miss Muslima? Muslims sticking together no matter what.
28. Ali
Newt   (10.30.05)
"how could they force Palestinian out from their land?" Gee Ali, how could you move to a land that does not belong to you....Sweden? Hmmm....me thinks you are a big hypocrite.
29. #27(Newt) Yes, Muslims stick together!
Miss Muslima ,   London , England UK   (10.30.05)
"Oh I see. So right or wrong, Muslims stick together. Better the world finds out about this attitude now and rids their countries of Muslims. If the United States is attacked once again by Muslims, then we have every right to hold every single Muslim living in the states accountable. That is your reasoning isn't it Miss Muslima? Muslims sticking together no matter what. " Are you stupid Newt? There is nothing wrong with sticking together! Nor did i say that if it is wrong you support it blindly. I said that they won't go public and side with Israel openly, but they will deal with Iran behind the scenes. Even as we speak, Iran is probably facing the wrath of the Islamic world, but privately. By the way , what kind of a newt are you? Go back under whichever swamp you appear from!
