7. eitam's death wish
b katznelson   (05.19.06)
a man who would think nothing of a confrontation that will cost 100's of thousands of lives on both side would also think nothing about suicidal ressistance to a pullback to rational borders. The president of Iran has met his clone!
8. Let's see
Persian CAT   (05.19.06)
I can't wait to see Israel "take action" against Iran. Although there are more people of sound mind in Israel tnan this right wing fascist, Mr. Eitam, I really want to see the IDF or IAF forces beaten and humiliated on the Iranian soil, if they ever get the chance to get there. Someone may shoot them down before they ever reach Iran, which is a pity because I am buying some popcorn and Pepsi and getting ready to watch some Israeli military poeple with smashed faces beg for mercy on TV. Just remember you guys may be experts in killing Palestinian civilians, but don't try to luck in Iran. That's all.

Our biggest problem is where to bury the iranian army.Those that do not run mach 3 or better.The I.D.F. is not the iraqi army under saddam.Do not eat all the popcorn,save some for us.And we prefer Coca-cola or R.C. The only luck there will be in iran is that we got rid of the mullah humps for you,then you will be lucky to start over.
10. persian cats
alan ,   frisco   (05.19.06)
if you have ever watched a Persian cat stalk and attack, you would realize that Eitan is making the most sense of any world leader right now. Iran needs to know it will become a glass museum should it continue to flaunt the will of the entire free world. More Israeli leaders have to step forward to back this strong statement of Eitan's. And Israelis need to start taking this existential threat as seriously as Hitler. Who can believe that the appeasers in the European diplomatic corps have any chance of turning back from a full scale military confrontation with Iran. It is time to stop pussy footing around with Iran, time to see the dangerous Persian cat as a brutal dictatorship, and time to put away the cat nip and bring out the baseball bats.
11. Considering how much Russia and China are opposed
David Joseph ,   Orlando, Florida   (05.19.06)
even to sanctions against Iran. Iran is known to be their main oil supply and is strategic interest to both communist countries. So there is a high probability for Russia to secure the situation after any attack on Iran. And don’t think its close communist brother wont have their support and military backing. I believe all this is unfolding as we speak hence the meetings with hamas with Russia and Abbas hosted by Putin. China's representatives and hamas meeting. Hamas reps going to Iran and Ahmadinejad addressing Arab nations and enemies(legion of doom) of Israel. And the recent visit of China’s Leader with Bush. And the U.S. troop buildup on Iran/Iraq border and recent reported reconnaissance missions on Iran.. War is hell and hell is about to be loosed on the earth so it is imperative that Israel prepare.
12. Your going to get an ass-whipping rest assured.
Daisy ,   USA   (05.19.06)
Evil Iran will go down. Good will triump over evil. Israel doesn't kill civilians like your Islamofacist leaders do.
13. #6 Uncertainty is far worse! Eitam, let's attack now
gabriela ben ari ,   jerusalem   (05.19.06)
We shouldn't peacefully wait for any further developments, does anyone really think the Pig is going to repent of his declarations??? Not so, in the meantime time goes by, they get to hide and further develop their nuclear facilities. BEFORE is too late, as in most cases, we should halt whatever may happen. As as for coward suckers, like avramele, either trust that G-d will deliver or quit this country, but don't post panic please
14. Persian cat.... And pride to all Jews !

15. Of course Eitam is talking sense!
Ram ,   London   (05.19.06)
Nobody likes war! Is Israel expansionist? The answer is no, otherwise Israelis would be living in Sinai now. People who fear retaliation always lose. "He who hesitates is lost". Realistically speaking, don't we know that Iran and the arab neighbours want Israel's destruction at any cost? Don't we know that every day they become better prepared? Don't we know that Russia, China, the EU and even the US are blinded by other interests such as oil and money? Don't we know that for years they have not taken any effective measures to stop the Iranians? Don't we know it was the same with Iraq? Israel SHOULD give ultimatums to the west to take action and the Iranians to stop the nuclear process or else. It has to chose between a smaller catastrophe now or a much bigger one later.
16. a serious halachic question
a ginsburg   (05.19.06)
In the event of a IDF strike on Iran one predictable victim will be the 20,000 Iranian Jews living in a semi hostage situation in that country. What is the responsibilty to them?

We've had about 7 wars, in all of which, arabic armies were involved, in a lot of them, more than one arabic army at a time, and they said the exact same. So did saddam with his nuclear reactor. And by the way, we have so many missiles we dont even need to strike you with planes.
18. insanity - we are all stupid
Dan ,   US   (05.19.06)
as an iranian, let me make some points: i think the iranian president is wrong on his comments on israel. at the same time, i think that no one in the middle east, including israel, should have nuclear weapons. but, more importantly, i cant believe the hate i am reading between iranians and jews...the world is going to watch us kill eachother and pleasantly stand by until its done...the only people who lose are the iranians and the people of israel. instead, lets find a way to change the minds of our governments and realize that the people of iran does not equal the government of iran...so if israel attacks iran the way eitam says it will, then how different will the jewish people be from what the nazi's did back in the day to the jewish people...lets not repeat the mistakes of history and live in peace and unity instead (i know its harder said that done however)
19. daisy darling, are you in first grade?
Shai ,   T-A   (05.19.06)
Because your comments are useless, silly and pretty embarrassing.
20. we can't afford a war people
MinnieB9 ,   Mumbai, Lichtenstein   (05.20.06)
wow, and we were worried about bush bellicosing just show this to him and I think he will start saying diplomacy even louder we can't afford a war, kids dear president bush, you have only 2 tasks 1- fire the moron bolton 2 - pick up the phone and talk to iran we need a non aggro treaty asap olmert this means ya too. bye for now.
21. Ram #14 - Great Clip - thanks! Persian jerk will enjoy it
Barry ,   London   (05.20.06)
22. Waiting a year? Sounds risky.
D- ,   San Diego, USA   (05.20.06)
Iran is entering into a capability where 1st strike obliterates the opponent. At the same time, Iran is doing so without confidence building. In fact, Iran is blatantly threatening other countries. The outcome of this is obvious. Iran will become a sea of glass, so long as intelligence on Iran's capabilities is accurate. If the intelligence is not accurate, then Israel will probably become a sea of glass.
23. Israel-Iran
K W ,   New York, NY   (05.20.06)
I don't understand how Israel can be so hypcritical about nuclear weapons when they have close to 200 of them, themselves. Tyranny never lasts as history has taught us. Iran and its regime are destined to fall, but so are Israel and their apartheid regime. The very idea of Israel is a violation of International Law.
24. You're an idiot Daisy
K W ,   NY, NY   (05.20.06)
Please, when you have something you think is important to say, just be quiet. Israel and Iran are two peas in a pod--evil regimes that will no longer exist in twenty years time.
25. israel and iran
ed herget ,   germany   (05.21.06)
there's claim that the third world war will start in the middle east. as it turns out the united states will be at war with russia and china. I really don't foresee any other country getting involved, except maybe the united kingdom.
