for Olmert and Peretz and Peres and Livni to hear and for their weak liberal left minds to grasp it?
4. An Evil Clown
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (11.20.06)
How do I know this? When someone rants about an imaginary enemy stirring up hatred and animosity without cause, we have to conclude that he is delusional and paranoid. Israel is no threat to Iran any more than it is to the Fiji Islands, yet this clod has demonized Israel and perpetuates the Moslem fantasy that "this part of the world is theirs" and we are foreigners. Not so, Mr. Clown. G-d gave this land to the Jews. It is ours. And, we have no interest in your Persia so you have nothing to worry about. You really are on the other side of the river.
5. He's right
Enemy of State ,   Judea   (11.20.06)
You Zionists are weak. First you ran away from Lebanon, then from Gush Katif, now from Sderot. Even if you attacked Iran, you would have half the country calling for talks with Ahmadinejad and crying about UN censure, and a rally in Tel Aviv calling whoever ordered the bombing a "murderer." Israel will never attack Iran. Israelis would rather be killed than defend themselves.

Kais ,   Qatar   (11.20.06)
Before Iran considers itself a Persian country it is Muslim! Infact the Iranian revolution fights the idea of Persian nationalism coz it is contrary to Islam. Israel still occupies stolen Islamic/Arab land in their 67 blitz attack! Iran and all true Islamic countries won't rest until you give back what you took by force. And NO GOD DID GIVE JEWS THIS LAND AS YOU HAVE Christians and MOSLEMS WHO ALSO SETTLE THERE AND WERE ALWAYS IN A MAJORITY Until you created the state of Israel to bring 4 million jews from all over the world!
7. Does he mean US ?
Atilla Karagözoğlu ,   Istanbul & Turkey   (11.20.06)
I think He does. Politicians are always politicians :) Media war ? an interesting subject ! No matter how the medias are objectives : Media is a need. I support madia war. People also have changes to learn. So, Media war IN. The fanatics war OUT.
8. Israeli hesitation
Erfan ,   Melbourne, Australia   (11.20.06)
Whenever I read these talkbacks from Israelis in Israel, I always get the feeling that there is a certain reluctance, hesitation or fear to take on Tehran. Ofcourse you will not be alone, that is a given. Two words of advice. NEVER HESITATE P.S. I look forward to visiting the Bahai Temple in scenic Haifa in the coming year. Shalom and thanks.
9. Achmadinajad
Dr. JOHN MAXWELL ,   Israel   (11.20.06)
This lunatic suffers from "Illusions of grandeur" 3rd stage of a certain disease! But he is a very dangerous lunatic, so for G-d Sake take his threats seriously!!

13. Amhadinejad
Robin ,   Sydney, Australia   (11.20.06)
Amhadinejad is either a strategic genius or a delusional maniac with a Machiavellian mindset. Perhaps he's a bit of both? He certainly has contributed with shifting the balance of power in the Middle East and I believe him when he says Iran has no desire to attack its neighbors. Let’s face it, the perception that Iran processes nuclear weapon is a psychological sword of Damocles hanging of the heads of Israeli's. I still wouldn't take the chance of allowing him to create that perception, but short of dropping bombs on Iran what are the other options. My belief is that Israeli politicians need to get their act together quickly and create a strategic think tank of all political persuasions. The US is not a long term solution in maintaining Israel’s security and the outcome from both Iraq and Lebanon, is that when you win the hearts and minds of the local population, you don’t need sophisticated weapons. Israel needs to find a way of reaching some type of arrangement with Hamas and Hezbollah and I know that I will get taken to task on this forum for what I have said. Israel needs to take intelligent local demographic risks. I wonder if the Palestinians had a better standard of living that they would be bent on Israel's destruction.

15. Israel on its own
gj ,   Naples, Florida, USA   (11.20.06)
The US is too cought up in its own in-fighting and can't be counted on as your allies. This is unfortunate. I think Netanyahu has it right, Israel will need to do what Israel needs to do.
16. 6 - muslims don't speak for christians
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.20.06)
arab christians do not want to live under muslim rule. they leave this area because of you muslims. when they have the choice, they overwhelmingly choose to love under jews. muslims will kill for every grain of sand in the name of their "allah" but leave christians out of your perversion.
17. To Mr. Ahmadinedjad
a   (11.20.06)
Mr. Ahmadinedjad, be careful with your statements. If you say you need the nuclear power only for a peaceful purposes than you really will have to stick with it. Otherwise - beware, all the bad rulers in the history of humankind were punished in the end. I am not saying that Israel will punish you - if you believe in G-d you should watch out!
18. THE WISEDOCTOR #9
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (11.20.06)
Dr.thanks for diognising it correctly.But your services will be more needed in Israel..............if you look at it closely.We may have lunatics there to be looked after should they make a mistake of launching any premptive strike on Iran.So, be at their services please.
19. He may be right
monk   (11.20.06)
It would appear Prime Minister Olmert is afraid of Ahmadinejad and President Bush is also afraid of the Iranian president. Otherwise why did Bush sue for peace, thus saving Iran's proxy, Hezbollah from destruction? Mr. Bush and Mr. Olmert are men beset with fear and apprehension, it would seem. Bush claims he prays and trusts in God. I don't know what God he prays to.

jerome ,   basalt, co   (11.20.06)
The Pali's could have a better standard of living then and even now! They choose the coruption and keeping there own deprived, poor and ignorant so they can keep the jihadist, suicide, homicide murderers going. It's not about there quality of living, it's about the destruction of the Jewish state. It's like baseball or football in the U.S. or rugby in Australia. It's the Pali's national past time. They wouldn't know what to do with themselves without someone to hate.
21. to#6, nut kais
Jay ,   Israel   (11.20.06)
1, Iran is a muslim country because you killed and stole it from the persians. 2, Israel does not occupy Gaza yet still you send rockets and suicide bombers into Israel. 3, G-d did promise Israel to the Jews. 4, Jews have been the majority of this land for over 3000 years. You did not make even one accurate statement, thus i have no option but to deem you a nut kais.
22. Oh Yeah?
Koolyao ,   TA Israel   (11.20.06)
He says: "-Iran is peace loving country and has never attacked another country and today too it stands firm." I say: Oh Yeah? and the years of the Iran-Iraq war were what? did they throw flowers of peace at each other? the world was better when they were killing themselves.
23. # Kais Qatar: I feel sorry for your lack of education.
gabriela ben ari ,   jerusalem   (11.20.06)

associating Israel's (kadima's) passivity with that os Jews prior to WWII ??? They were justified, knew nothing.... WE DO
26. jesus
steven ,   memphis, tennessee   (11.20.06)
The leader of Iran and every other human that breathes on this planet should all turn their eyes to Jesus Christ. He is the only way to God. There is only one God and one Savior. Allah, Buddah, or any other dead religious nut is going to save you and make a way for you to go to Heaven. Jesus is the only way !!!
27. Amhadinejad
Robin ,   Sydney. Australia   (11.20.06)
Jerome I used to believe that as well. The human psyche is a lot more complex than a zero sum mindset. Hamas is very popular with Palestinians primarily because they provide social and economic support to local communities as does Hezbollah. Politicians would have you believe that Arabs are ungrateful savages, but we know that is far from the truth. Local despots, the emptiness of western ideology - particularly American pop culture has very little in the way of existential meaning to offer these people. What would you have them doing? Begging their lord masters the Israeli's for handouts. The challenge for Israel and for its own survival is to see that the ordinary man in the streets life becomes more fulfilling - both economically and spiritually. Israel has probably missed the boat. Israel in 1948 and Israel now is a different animal. Israel is currently weak, as many Israelis have developed a love affair with the USA. Love or hate Islam - there is a reason for people becoming religious. The religion fulfils a need where western culture is found lacking. Of course Yasser Arafat and his cronies stole and plundered, but Arafat did bring their plight to the attention of the world. If Israel is to win the war, it needs to adapt a far more lateral approach to the region. Israel needs to partner Hamas to develop strategies and this will mitigate extremist hate. We are now living in a very different world. The war is not a conventional war. It does employ conventional means, but victory lies with facilitating people’s self respect and dignity.
28. YOU ARE FAILURES & WILL BE DEFEATED
Lebanese   (11.20.06)
AHMADINEJAD WILL DEFEAT YOU SOON IF YOU WILL NOT STOP YOUR CRIMINAL POLICY TOWARDS PALESTINIAN WOMEN & CHILDREN & IF YOU WILL NOT ALL STOLEN LANDS TO ITS OWNERS AS UN RESOLUTIONS

at North Israel have to invade whole syria in order to reach Iran. reality check , world
30. Iranian Nukes
Steven ,   Lexington Park USA   (11.20.06)
1) The world is changing and nuclear technology will find its way into a lot of countries. 2) The US has and will always be an allie to Israel. Should Iran, Syria, the USSR (yes with PUTIN it still exists) or any other country attack Israel with Nuclear weapons it will shortly cease to exist. 3) Iran may have 1 Nuclear weapon now or in the near future, Israel has what 100, 150? The US tens of thousands. 4) Mr. Ashmedai is merely the tool of the ruling Islamic religeous elitists who really control the government. 5) The Iranian people are not bad folks. Neither are the Israelis, the Palestinians or Americans. Let Iran have their weapons, if they use them Iran will be destroyed by all of the super powers to prevent further use (all of us like the status quo inclding Russia and China), give the Palestinians a state, and Give the Golan Heights back to Syria. We need to talk to Hezbolah and Hamas. 6) Our friends in Hamas need to recognize that want the Palestinians. Not the Israelis, not the Jordanians, Not the Lebonese, not Syria, not Egypt. By not recognizing Israel they are hurting Palestinians not the Israelis. they need the money and jobs that Israel supplies and the only way to true internationally recognized borders is working with your enemy for a comprehensive peace that benefits your people or is this just about power and the needless thirst for blood? 7) Israel, quit bombing and start talking. You talk constantly about Hamas recognizong Israel, recognize Palestine and allow Jeruselem to be their capitol too. You could work out security if you really wanted to. 8) Though I am an American we are not blameless either, we need to quit being imperialists and talk to our enemies too. We need to not support Israel when they act like nazis to their neighbors and make damn sure publically that the world knows to attack Israel is to attack us. We need to quit trying to make other countries mini Americas and start fixing whats wrong inside our own borders. We all, need to try for our children to amke a better world where all of us, Muslim, Christian, Hebrew, Buddhist, Hindu and all other religions can live in peace.
