Stop your whinning!!! Why should the U.S. fight a war to protect you?? We give you billions of dollars and weapons each year. Go fight your own war. Sacrifice your own children for your interests....not ours! What a idiot whinning because someone else won't fight and die for your own defense.

How was what i said dumb? Is it not true? We did offer israel the option of becoming our ally in 1967 after the war to make things stable. Israel did say no. Now what was dumb about what i said. Ive read alot of what you write on Ynet and you just use random talking points that dont really reflect on reality. So please why dont you back up what you say come on i know your smart enough come on. To Number 26 ill name 2 democratic countries in the mideast. Lebanon and Palestine. Both countries Israel has been trying to destroy for a while now. Coincidence how all the Israel is fighting the democracies. LOL. 2 nations that defend themselves daily .... Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, Sudan, Somalia...etc. why dont you name 2 nations that occupy other peoples land. I know America and Israel. But which one occupies more countries land. Israel occupies 3-4 depending on what your point of view is. America is occupying 1 1/2. Iraq, and half of Afghanistan Nato is doing the rest. But yeah anyway why you decided to direct your questions at me i dont know. Your little comment about how israel did well without america's help.... ok well if it wasnt for america and our veto the UN would have had its way with you long ago. Iran would have taken care of you guys. Ps. If your are this bad (losing to one Hez brigade 3,000 with your 40,000 plus army and airforce ships blockade etc.) what are you gonna do without america. Your so ignorant its not even funny. What your just as fanatical as Osama thinking he could defeat americas military. Can i please find me a smart or even realistic Israeli to talk to please please i need to find one of you soon before I just start hating you people. I know you dont care. O and ya i aint gonna defend Bush or Iraq. They are both BS. Bush wasnt even elected president my pres is Al Gore. Hes the guy who had the Majority of the Votes. George Bush was appointed by the supreme court. HE isnt my president he is 9 peoples pres.

The distance from Teheran to Tel-aviv is exactly the same like the distance from Tel-aviv to Teheran told by Moshe Dayan or by Ben Gurion.I recommand for everyone not to forget it. Andi mi hakfar.

42. If you think the US won't aid Israel, you're an idiot
Aviel Yesawich ,   New York, NY   (12.06.06)
I think most be may be misinterpreting this article. Granted Robert Gates may not be Israel's new best friend, he certainly supports Israel and US policy towards Israel. In the end, Robert Gates is only one man. Despite the fact he may be the next US Defense Secretary and his political outlook not radically pro-Israeli, A substantial majority of Congress, the Senate and The White House support the State of Israel, and will protect its interests as their own. G-d knows we have in the past
43. USA and Israel
N Stanzyk ,   Heartland USA   (12.06.06)
I just cannot imagine USA not standing with Israel..We will always be a defender of democracies..I am a little bored with the many many articles etc about Gates and all the coverage of what will the democrats do blah blah blah..The thing about American politics and all the debate and whining is in the current situation in the US, with huge internal dissent, Democrats shouting misgivings about Iraq, and Republicans pontificating about treachery, and the enemy within, it may seem that the factions will cancel each other out, or with more Democrat influence, the whole tide of war will change. Instead, the US is exposing its power to the world, by thinking out loud, disagreeing publicly, and nit-picking endlessly over details in floods of political television programs. The election is over, and, the war on terror will go on, as all previous US wars have done, irrespective of the party in power. To understand US policy, look carefully at what is not said, because that is where they have reached implicit consensus. Neither side is talking about ending the war on terror --or leaving our friends in Israel.It has been the constant focus of the press but I just think its all spin..and a real boil on the butt of Iran and Hezzbullah...
44. No. 29, Richard
NYC Girl   (12.06.06)
You're correct if you're talking about the U.S. and the former Soviet Union, when the policy of "Mutually Assured Destruction" (MAD) kept a nuclear cataclysm at bay. Unfortunately, in the case of Adhmadinejad, he has an apocalyptic vision in which the idea of some nuclear holocaust is exactly what he's hoping for as a means of fulfilling a prophesy where Islam will rule over the world.
45. No. 33, Jane
(12.06.06)
Exactly right. Dovy is a hyper-religious little freak who believes there should be no State of Israel because the Messiah hasn't come. But, instead, he rails against "Zionists" as if he has some political ax to grind, when in truth everything about the Natura Kartei stems from religious fanaticism and has nothing whatsoever to do with politics.
46. # 34
Dr. Know   (12.06.06)
You're a fool if you don't understand that attacking Israel would only be the opening salvo in the Islamic war against the West. If, somehow, Iran were able to successfully strike a blow against Israel, I hate to tell you, but you're next, buddy.
47. The Lions of Judah? CRAP
Andrew ,   Russian   (12.06.06)

Tam   (12.06.06)
You're going to blame the destruction of your country on the Americans? You bastards supported Hezbollah against Israel and now you are reaping what you have sown. Get off your collected butts and start fighting for what is yours instead of waiting for everyone to fight for you!

53. Arab and Jews must unite.
Ana Arabi ,   The Arab land   (12.09.06)
I don’t understand what is going on in the mind of the Israeli. You know very well from history that the F-16 and the nuclear weapons are not the real power especially in the Meddle East, and Israel proved it in the last war with Lebanon “Hizap Allah.” The Arabs and the Jews share the same fears from Iran. Iran is going to destroy Israel and the Arab as well. The Arabic and the Jewish race and identities are in great danger from the Persians. In my opinion, Arab has the money and the people, and Israel has the technology, so it is the time for Arabs and the Jews to unite and solve all their problems in order to destroy the Persians. However, to accomplish that, Israel must divide Palestine equally with the Arab and Jerusalem should be the capital of all the Abrahemic or the Semitic race, then we are going to defeat the Persians. Israel must realize that Iran is going to have the nuclear weapons and no country in the world will send their sons to fight and die for the Jews. Remember what happened to the Jews in Germany!!!!!
