1. Why be so negative?
daniel   (03.04.09)
Can't be that bad to get nuked. You should look on the bright side: Netanyahu won't be prime minister for a very long time, plus nobody will be forced to remember the Holocaust as the next one will be pretty unforgettable having been broadcast live on TV.
2. Mind your own business
Jude Carpenter ,   Missoula, MS, US   (03.04.09)
Dear Israel Lobby, Please mind your own business. We are tired of fighting your wars, with our children and our money for zilch! No, you're not going to talk us into war with Iran. ...and it's not that we think Iran is innocent. It's because we're exhausted and tired of fighting your wars. Enough.
3. #2 Stupid, the opposite is true, Israel is fighting
Ex US   (03.04.09)
america's war since you are a gutless, bankrupt paper tiger with a president nothing more than an incompetent moran. Why don't you nuke iran, put your money wherte your mouth is!? NO GUTS, typical american, always whinning .......
4. #2 You prefer to fund the terrorists.
Mark ,   Boston   (03.04.09)
Our tax dollars are used to fund the PA. That money is used for the purchase of weapons. Hamas steals the weapons from the PA to kill Jews.
5. #2, Anti-Zionism is Anti-Semitism

7. Dude carpenter
Petra ,   uSA   (03.04.09)
and please tell the Saudis, Bush is gone and the war we fought for them is over. Let the gays of Arabia fight their own battles. Girlie men who empty their pockets for Gaza whores.
8. # 3 Our money, your life?
petra ,   uSA   (03.04.09)
USA's trouble is trying to please all the people, all the time. Aint possible.
9. Hey Jude
(03.04.09)
Hey Jude, dont make it bad! You aren't fighting our wars! You fight wars to keep Saudi Arabia alive so you can drive your SUvs and sell weapons to keep Americans employed. As for Iran, if Carter was a bit smarter, Iran would have been a nice place under a Shah. It was Carter who brought in Khomeni so dont start crying to us.
10. Step by step
mike cato ,   usa   (03.04.09)
It is now becoming clear that ,step by gradual step,the Hussein Obama regime is inching closer to making the Arab/Muslim/Iranian world it's friend, and Israel, its enemy. Obama will indeed make "peace" with the Muslim world-his world. HUssein Obama is prepared to pay the price for this "peace"--the destruction of Israel. This is why it is more important than ever that Israel widens and deepens its military and economic ties with Eastern Europe, the Far East, and especially with India. The USA will soon be, de facto, a part of the Arab/Muslim bloc. The former Muslim President of the USA will have his way.
11. Liberals
lawrence ,   USA, Phila   (03.04.09)
Guys don't get upset with jude carpenter. He can't help it. He is spoon fed misinformation by the US press which is extremly liberal and pro arab. As for Obama, he will support the arabs in the distruction of Israel if we let him. Blood has been spilt by both USA and Israel for Israel security and money spent but it is well worth it. Freedom does not come cheep.
12. Obamas appeasement is going to get us all killed
BJL ,   US   (03.04.09)
He is the wrong guy at the wrong time....for everything. Israel.....help us to him. Time for you to interfer in our affairs for a change!
13. Hey Jude, dont make it bad.........
Adina Kutnickle ,   Kiev   (03.04.09)
take all the sad songs of conspiracy theory and MAKE THEM BETTER. REMEMBER, to let the truth under your skin, and you can begin (the beguine) to MAKE IT ALL BETTER!
14. OBAMAS POLICIES WILL BRING THE DESTRUCTION OF THE US CLOSER!
OBAMA=DEATH OF ,   AMERICA!   (03.04.09)
15. #2 Jude, First of all
Zohan ,   Tel Aviv   (03.04.09)
Bush went into Iraqi for oil and not WMD as alleged. If he wants to find WMD, it's right next door Iran. The current credit crunch is all becos of Bush. When Dow Jones sneezes, the whole world catches a cold. It's easy to blame everything on Israel even though the truth is somewhere blowing in the wind
16. Well said # 2
Dave loyal American ,   Tennessee US   (03.04.09)
we are losing our reputation and economy because of Israel. If Israel wants to fight Iran then so be it. it’s not our business to fight Iran. we have our own problems to deal with. why don’t you get Russia or China to help fight with you?
17. Free Sderot!
Federico ,   Gaudalajara   (03.04.09)
When will this daily reality of rockets become unacceptable in the eyes of the world? Great Job Anav and Sderot Media Center!
18. LA,LA,LA, LALALA LA, LALALA LA, HEY JUDE!
Maxime Levy ,   BEAUTIFUL USA   (03.05.09)
HEY JUDE! DON'T MAKE IT BAD. TAKE A SAD SONG AND MAKE IT BETTER. DON'T YOU THAT IS IDIOTIC TO BE A FOOL. JUDE?
19. The changing world
RobertS ,   Wiesbaden Germany   (03.05.09)
Israel succeeded to isolate itself through the its cold blooded acts of crime against kids, women, elderly. Certainly Ahmadinejad and Iran are a serious threat partly due to extreme Islamism partly to Israels crude policy towards Palestinians. And the future of the Israeli nation is in danger, not only because of Iranian threats but also because of a more and more blindfolded Israeli society. Friends, you're on the verge of loosing internationalsupport as well as our support as Jews and Israelis abroad. Think twice ...
20. To #2
J ,   LA, CA   (03.05.09)
I am a pro-Israel American. If you actually understood the true threat of Radical Islam and the fascist ideology the Israelis are fighting against, you would understand that it is in our best interest to support Israel--especially militarily. Israel is the first line of defense against Islamic Extremism and jihad. If Israel goes down, America is next. Please go to: http://www.investigativeproject.org/maps.php to see exactly where Hamas, Hizbullah, Al Queda, Muslim Brotherhood have cells across the United States. Whether you like it or not, they are here to bring about another 9/11 style attack...and they probably have nukes or dirty bombs. You sound like you have been anesthesized by the idiots at MSNBC. You are so blissfully ignorant. Why don't you watch a few movies to educate yourself: "The Third Jihad", "Homegrown Jihad" www.jihadwatch.org www.thereligionofpeace.com www. actforamerica.com These things should help to enlighten you.
21. #2 Judy-- Thank's Judy, The same goes for Europe,
Ken ,   Burma   (03.05.09)
and the rest of the world. If Israel wants to exist then it better change its ways. Israel is a small price to pay for world Peace. If Israel has to pay this price, they have themselves to blame. The alternative is war, war, and more war.
22. About #2
Brad ,   USA   (03.05.09)
Hey people! The "Jude" types in the U.S. are the reason the U.S. now has an ignorant, soft, child in the White House, and a Marxist majority in Congress. Israel will probably have to take things into her own hands soon. That nutjob from Iran will not wait, once he has both a nuke and a delivery system. God bless Israel.
23. #9 Nonsense
Faraz ,   Meldreth, UK   (03.06.09)
Iran is perhaps not a great place under the current regime, but you obviously know little about it during the time of the Shah. He may have had a pro-western foreign policy, but the life of the masses under his rule was unbearable, Perhaps you you seek out more informed debate before making irreverrent comments.
24. Just ask Mr shoebat whether we should trust Teran

25. #2 are there people that stupid in Montana???
David Powell ,   Everett, Wa. DPRSSA   (03.10.09)
Dittoes to # 3,4,5,6. Will it be a matter of both Tehran and Washington that will be pressuring Israel by comrads Hussein and Mahmood???
