31. no wonder its so quiet in Israel now
zionist forever   (07.15.08)
I thought the streets looked quiet today come to think of it I didnt see a single persion on the street Iran really must have the best inteligence service in the world. They allways seem to know more about Israel & the US than they know themselves. I bet the little gorrila even knows what I had for dinner tonight. I do hope there is at least 1 more person left in Israel I really would hate to think I am the only one left.
32. The maniac of Teheran.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (07.15.08)
Since many centuries megalomaniacs wanted and tried to eliminate the Jewish people. The idiot of Teheran dreams also to destroy Israel and exterminate the Jewish people. No chance. He will be gone and long forgotten while Israel and the Jewish people will still be there , living and prospering. Today, the only people who suffers from his megalomania are the Iranians. The maniac of Teheran is simply insane as explained at : http://xrl.us/bizzs
33. propaganda
(07.15.08)
that missile pic was photoshop ´cos one of the missiles did not fired.. hajajajajjajajajajjjajajajajj and you think you can hurt Israel or US? jajajajajajjajajjajaja maybe a scratch, but you Iran you will fall hard. ur time is near
34. Iran, a country full of lies............
Michael ,   Chicago, USA   (07.15.08)
Iran is the world`s bully. They will lie, cheat and steal to get their way. I feel nothing but pity for the poor Iranian citizens who have to fear and loathe their barbaric Government. A country who cuts off fingers for stealing an apple, stones women to death for adultery, which is almost always never proven, and hangs gay teenagers is sick, sick, sick. Hey Iran, it`s 2008, not the 1500`s. It`s time to stop "burning" witches.
35. Emigration
Eitan ,   New York USA   (07.15.08)
Isn't the enthusiasm on these talkbacks a little misplaced? 10% of the Israeli Jewish population has already moved to other countries, and continue to do so faster than the ever-dwindling supply of olim can replace them. They may not be running from Iran, and you may not be able to see it on the beach, but they're certainly running from something.
36. Thank you Millicent,,,
Ali Ahmadi ,   Karaj, Iran   (07.15.08)
The Iranian people are fed up with these dogs who have ruined our country, our culture, and our economy, and now are about to lead us to mass annihilation. Please for the love of peace, ATTACK the mullah's achille's heel and we will take care of the rest. Just as the Great King of Persian freed the Jews of Babylon, we beg you now, oh Children of Israel, to free IRAN from the claws of these evil monsters. Salam, Peace, Shalom to you all.
37. Dear Simon
Simon R Kratz ,   Orem, UTAH, USA   (07.15.08)
And also, my AFRICAN BAHA'I friend and his wife and child from CONGO-Brazzaville, are in Israel NOW, in HAIFA, AKKO area on Baha'i Pilgrimage and LOVING the hospitality and love of the Israeli people, Jew, Arab, Druze and all.. As we say in Persian "take that thorn in your eye," you mullahs!!!
38. Johnny
Ali Ahmadi ,   Karaj, Iran   (07.15.08)
Dear Johnny please do not insult all Iranians. These mullah guys are worse than the Soviet monsters. They don't even care about executing children and stoning innocent women. We have tried and will continue to try to get rid of them. But we need help. Sadly, the EU likes to go to BED with Mullahs even more than others do. Like I asked before, if someone, like the dear children of Israel hit the achilles heal of the mullahs we will rise and take care of the rest. We just need one spark, one sign. Thank you and peace, shalom, salam, solh, mir, paix, pax to all.
39. Israel is staying put and staying strong..
Avi   (07.15.08)
Wishful thinking from Iran. If anything, more people are coming and tourists continue travelling to Israel. Whatever Iran tries to dish out, Israel will be able to deal with-forcefully, and without BS.
40. ha ha ha
2light ,   iran   (07.15.08)
big brother us abandoned you how you gonna attack iran now??? hahahahaha good luck :D keep on making jokes on forums :P thats all you can do - maybe it will make you feel better - if if ifififififififififif if is your favorite word - ha ha ha no matter what you respond you know where you faith stand :)
41. #7, evidently the IRGC don't believe so
Danny   (07.15.08)
otherwise they wouldn't have doctored the photos. Also note NONE of the missiles tested can reach Israel, they represent exactly zero threat to Israel. Just in case it is not clear, the Iranians were LYING about firing missiles that could reach us. However I see you bought the propaganda hook, line and sinker and have no issue with doctored photos - ever considered a job in the media? I hear Reuters and AP might be hiring....
42. Another lie
Mark ,   Jerusalem   (07.15.08)
And if it was true then they should not live here in the first place.
43. One more reason why Iran is a sad comedy
Samuel Prime ,   Canada   (07.15.08)
... in the political arena. The heck with truth, just lie as much as you want without keeping a clean track of consistency and maturity behind you so that you would look as foolish and childish as possible. That pretty much characterizes the Iranian regime (and those many Iranians who are anti-Semitic). Their backwardness is their own nuclear nightmare. When will these people ever grow up?
44. #7 - They publish for the ammusment value
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (07.15.08)
45. Maybe they can photoshop a picture from Yom Kippur
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (07.15.08)
In order to show "proof" maybe they can photoshop a picture from Yom Kippur and show the empty highways.
46. #35, really?
Danny   (07.15.08)
care to back that up with some proper stats?
47. #40..we are going to burn you to the ground
JL ,   israel   (07.15.08)
48. IRNA is right. 12% are gone already
hermin ,   haifa,israel   (07.15.08)
The People of Israel is leaving the country in waves. A huge migration wave shores in Marmaris, Turkey, another one in Europe, splinters get to Far East and Americas. This is happening every summer.
49. strange, still cant find a parking spot in Tel Aviv
Simon ,   TA the free city   (07.15.08)
Well perhaps they abandoned their cars ? in the great evacuation as mentioned in the Iranian press. So i guess this could be a good time to buy more property in TA im sure the exodus will effect apartment prices. Strange the prices have increased lately.....
50. # 28 Shuli Not too clever.
petra ,   usa   (07.15.08)
If they had the capacity as you say for nearly 30 years, why haven't they used it on Israel? Perhaps because they know what Israel did to Iraq and Syria. Gimme a break, Iran will burn like the rest that Israel attacked and the world will be grateful Look for Irans blow by in the next four months. Bluster is all Irans dwarf monky has and it's nearly over for Iran. Today, their unemployment rate is 15%, maybe an Iranian will 'help him out' of office or, vote for another 'pres? Assassination would be welcomed by those who hate Irans pres and mad mullahs.
51. # 36 It will come but, where are you in all this?
petra ,   usa   (07.15.08)
Why did you vote for the queer dwarf in the first place?
52. This is the explanation
Raphael ,   Netanya   (07.15.08)
why Barenboim took the palestinian citizenship: the ayatollahs swore that the nuclear radiations will be stopped by the green line. Let's hope that our arab citizens will flee too and take shelter in Iran!
53. #35...really!
Eitan ,   New York USA   (07.15.08)
"According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics, as of 2005, 650,000 Israelis had left the country for over one year and not returned. Of them, 530,000 are still alive today. This number does not include the children born overseas since Israeli law grants citizenship only to the first generation of children born to Israeli emigrants." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Israel You can't tell me that this surprises you. How often do you meet an Israeli in Israel who doesn't have at least one close relative living abroad? Plus, the issue of yordim is discussed on these boards every time the CBS releases its annual immigration/emigration statistics, which point to the same trend, year after year. Sad, but true.
54. travel
jk ,   USA   (07.16.08)
please keep in mind that 90% of the population in Iran HATE the government and the mullahs but can not do anything about it.
