31. Dan #26, don't know any history do you?
RickD ,   USA   (08.20.07)
The US didn't help Israel financially or militarily until after the six day war. The US has fought no wars for Israel. The US has fought two wars against Iraq now, not to mention the war of attrition/no fly zone war. If we withdraw precipitously soon we will fight another war there in the future. These wars were fought for US interests. The US supports Israel, like it supports Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and others because, in short, it's the right thing to do. They are US allies and Americans are in agreement on this, as much as we agree on anything. Saying that Israelis are whiners just shows your bias. They have fought against long odds to survive in a neighborhood where only the strong survive. They have developed a strong economy and a real democracy, where neither were givens or easy or even required. Israel deserves your respect, not your foolish biased remarks.
32. um...Rick let's have a closer look at Gulf War....
Sally Forth ,   Jerusalem   (08.20.07)
the then president of the United States Mr. Bush, Sr. refused 2 order the American airforce to give the IDF - Airforce "the friend or foe signals" so that we could send up the best little airforce in the whole wide world up to fight for our nation. because the Americans effectively grounded us they fought that the Gulf War for us. Of course it would seem that you have forgotten that bit of history but its ok you are an Ah!merican. BTW, the IDF-Airforce is the best little airforce in the whole wide world because we went in first way back in 1981 remember? It was none other than the IDF-Airforce who blasted the Iraqi nuclear reactor to "Kingdom Come!" But since Ah!mericans have no real historical knowledge you probably don't remember any of this. But I do and so I am not surprised by Dr. Rice's statements.
33. right wingers CONS and the chickenhawk generation
AY_Lamb ,   USA   (08.20.07)
Draft College Republicans!! Steve nobody is hoping for failure just growing weary of cleaning op right-wing, Xian Conservative messes. Maybe u, Gen Petras, Anne Coulter, Glenn Beck, Rush and GW can go on patrol and set everything right after all the criminal element in Iraq are the most US republican like people I have ever seen. You guys and, those emirs and sheiks can compare guns, swap war stories, discuss religion, think about ways to amass more Dinars and Dollars, smoke some Denebola's, take some cognac shots, copy DVD movies illegally and peruse some porn. Whatchya think? does seem to be the pattern
34. (Rikvah) and other evangelicals please read
AY_Lamb ,   USA   (08.20.07)
According to Jewish tradition passed through the (Chazal) Daniel the sage wasn't a prophet his visions weren't for the general consumption of a particular population group. That is why the sefer that bares his name is in the Ketivum not the Neviim. He wasn't sent with an ultimatum or specific message from Elohim. This is a common evangelical ploy to assume our identity. Here is a passage for you to consider perhaps; from your sacred book Corinthians; and, does it not say "come out from among them and be ye separate"? I am pretty sure that is correct I would suggest you do that and stop telling us what to fear, what to do and what to think. Your beliefs are fine and respected this was first clearly stated by Gamaliel (Z"L) I have been told due to your interpretations of biblical discourse you feel compelled to attach yourself to Israel you don't have to assume our identity "to do that" it isn't necessary. K"H
35. #32. Not so fast Sally baby.
Persian CAT   (08.21.07)
If it were not for the American air force using those "Saudi owned" AWACS vectoring the American made and paid for that Israel got through American aid money your "best little air force" could not do jack shit. The only targets the Israeli pilots can hit are people driving in cars at the end of their runways.
36. USA Fears Iran
John ,   London,UK   (08.21.07)
US fears Iran because it has lost against the Iranians ever since the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Iran even kidnapped US diplomates and held them as hostages for a long time and still US did nothing. It backed off. US knows that fight with Iran will be long, bloody and ultimately will be lost; and when that happens Iranians will walk to US and take over. Who would stop them? Defeated US military? http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3439475,00.html
37. thats right.Let that goverment deal with thier own enemies.
(08.22.07)
The goverment in Israel gets rid of settlements then they can get rid of all thier own enemies , they deserve all of gogs arrows shot like a storm. Whoever gog is and whatever his arrows are. Gog has a legacy and burial for his army like no other.
38. #34: Rabbi Yeshua called Daniel a Prophet.
Rivkah   (08.26.07)
Mathew 24:15 and Mark 13:14 warn the Jews in Judea (West Bank of Jerusalem) to flee to the mountains (Petra area) when the abomination of desolation spoken of by DANIEL THE PROPHET occurs. The abomination of desolation is an event that will happen in the holy place of the THIRD TEMPLE when it is rebuilt on the Temple Mount. A world leader goes into the holy of holies and says he/she is god, but is a liar. "Come out from among them and be ye separate" refers to not being unequally yoked with unbelievers in certain contracts such as marriage. The unbelievers are those who do not believe a Messiah has come OR that a Messiah will come to save them eternally. Zechariah the prophet says when the Messiah comes in glory from the sky and touches down on the Mount of Olives, the Jews will look at the scars on his hands, etc. and will mourn because they will then know the name of Adonai/Hashem they have worshipped. The Messiah will tell them he was injured in the house of his FRIENDS. He does not call the Jews who are Jews in their hearts his enemies or unbelievers. They are covered by a prior covenant with the root of the tree of faith while the Gentiles are a grafted on branch. Some Jews like Saul of Tarsus (Paul) were told to teach the Gentiles they hated. But they obeyed which did not make them unbelievers or the Jews they left unbelievers. Why should I come out from among Jews who are Jews in their hearts who are of the root rather than the grafted on branch? I am attached to Israel because my dear friend Ariel Sharon is an Israeli, not to mention Rabbi Yeshua is and was a Jew. In my concern for him, I pass the time learning about his country he loved by reading YNET since I am not allowed to see him for reasons unknown to me.
