1. Has it occured to anyone...
Marco ,   Spain   (03.08.09)
That the continuos muscle flexing by Israel has led Iran to manufacture the bomb already?
2. so.. Israel has the bomb
US   (03.08.09)
amd do not tell me Israel is not a threat. you just killed 1000 children in Gaza last month.
3. but still no evidence...
Aaron ,   Chicago, USA   (03.08.09)
of any Iranian intention or reason to want or have a nuclear weapon. Are there any reality-based Israeli concerns?
4. Re #2
Tyron Goldschmidt   (03.08.09)
First, Israel did not kill 1000 children in Gaza. Secondly, Israel attacked Hamas because Hamas launched thousands upon thousands of missiles on Israeli towns for years - after Israel left Gaza. How many thousands of missiles would Mexico have to rain on the US before the US responded, eh?

We know their intention. Let them have it only to be totally destroyed. Their fate is sealed.

Marco ,   Spain   (03.08.09)
The U.S would respond if hit by missiles from Mexico. But it will respond in a professional manner and NOT by killing women and children!
11. wait and see
Eddie ,   Brooklyn NY   (03.08.09)
Israel will take care of Iran as soon as the US will close their eyes. so dont worry, be ready!
12. Re #10, #6
Shraga BD ,   NC   (03.08.09)
Marco, thanks for the reply. We agree that a country has the right to defend it citizens. But you think Israel could've done this more carefully. I suppose I agree, and this is almost always the case in any war. But I doubt the US would've been more professional. Smith, I don't think 1200 children were killed. Any death of a child is a disaster. The majority of those killed were fighters. There was a very widely published report about Israel hitting a UN school, but this turned out to be false. Again, post #4 was from me. I am using a public computer. Don't pick on this other guy! Shraga

parotting the current propgnada lie of the Shiite entity doesn't make sense. The civilian account of victims from the gaza operation is less than 300. 1000 terrorist did die in that op, that was cut short way too early. As for iran, Israel nee dto take out that tumor from the region before the shiite cancer destroys everything. the mullahs are claiming yet their "sovereingnity" over the Bahreini Emirtae. They have problems with Egypt, Jordan, Morroco, Saudi Arabia.Ahmadinejad the small camel jockey's Hitler looking ape president regime nee dto be whipe dout from the map before he turns teh Middle ast into a radioactive ground. Time for a preemtive strike, even Nuclear against Iran, if needed. Better they than us !
14. #10 Stop talking out of your ass
Conker ,   Israel   (03.08.09)
1) US responsed in professional manner in Iraq by killing hundreds of thouthands civilians. 2) The 1200-1300 total number of dead as a result of Israel response is an EXAGGERATED number by arab propaganda machine. Real number of casualtes is less than 50% of that, with about 90-95% being militants. 3) Considering Hamas declared that it will use its own population as a human shield, in case of Israeli response to rocket attacks, civilian casualties were at absolute minimum. 4) Enough of double standarts. Next time Israel should respond to aggression of muslim fanatics more harshly, by leveling the whole Gaza strip to ruins, as russians did in Chechnia . 5) Iran nuclear facilities should be bombed as soon as possible, and if Iran decided to attack Israel directly or indirectly thrue Syria, Israel will remind them history lesson as in 67 and 73.

Naor ,   USA   (03.08.09)
Israeli military techniques closely match our very own. The only reason less civilians would die in Mexico, is because the Mexican's aren't cowards who hide in civilian homes.
16. Can we afford to avoid a preventive strike against a ...
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (03.08.09)
Can we afford to avoid a preventive strike against a declared genocidal Iran ? A nuclear Iran has become an increasingly contentious issue. In the light of Western impotence, many Israelis are calling for a preventive strike against a declared genocidal intention. According to Israeli analysts, without preventive military action, production of an Iranian bomb is just a matter of time. Moreover, the annihilationist rhetoric used by Iran’s leaders, chiefly by President Ahmadinejad, is not a matter of sloganeering but indeed a program, in which the destruction of Israel is indispensable for the attainment of Iran’s manifest destiny – the “islamization” of the world. A quasi-consensus is emerging in Israel on the necessity of bombing Iranian nuclear installations. Iranian anti-Semitism at : http://xrl.us/h8ydt

Marco ,   Spain   (03.08.09)
Do you really believe in what you are saying or is it just for propaganda purposes? The casualties in Gaza were verified by United Nations human rights organization and not by "Arab Propaganda", and 95% of the casualties were civilian with the greater portion being women and children. Hamas never declared that it would use civilians as human shield. Do you really believe what you are saying? If thats the case then sorry but there is no polite way to say it: You are an idiot. As for Iran, let me remind you that when Israel bombed Iraqi nuclear facilities, no one knew what was going on untill mission was accomplished. Israel was capable then. Now with Iran, Israel is impotent and thats why Israel has been doing nothing but hurling threats at Iran. The reasons are obvious. Israel is paralized with fear.

Amos Yadlin was one of the pilots that bombed the Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981. Now he is telling us that Iran is capable of making a nuclear bomb. There is only one answer to this! Bomb I Bomb R Bomb A Bomb N http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/
19. #17 Marco
Cynthia ,   USA   (03.08.09)
Provide a UN reference for your statement regarding casualties in Gaza. For once, support YOUR propaganda! By shooting 3000 missiles at Israel last year Hamas placed their women and children in harms way. I see Iran operating out of fear and desperation. Even Arab countries are severing ties with Iran. Ahmadinejad is coming under more and more criticism and all he has to show for his time in office is money wasted on this nuclear program. He didn't fight corruption, improve the economy or stop inflation did he Marco? No, in fact, he poured money into two failed conflicts that served no benefit except to cause regional and international conflict.
20. #10 Marco: Why no criticism of Hamas from you?
usa   (03.08.09)
You are right in thinking that the citizens of Gaza were helpless against the IDF, but you are wrong in thinking that it is the fault of the Israelis only. If Hamas cared about its citizens, it would have tried every avenue to protect those women and children. Instead, Hamas militants hid in their bunkers and their own families' homes, putting non-combatants and their wives and children at risk. You must admit that this is simply inexcusable, and frankly, I'm getting a bit tired of hearing you put the blame solely on the shoulders of the Israelis. After all, if schools and homes weren't being purposely targeted by these Hamas militants, there would never have been a need for the IDF to campaign in Gaza in the first place. When are you going to learn to put things in a fair and proper perspective instead of just always weeping about "innocent children?" Why don't you post on Al-Jazeera? They love propaganda over there; here, your comments are just a tiresome, irritating BORE.
21. #18 Jewish Refugee
Marco ,   Spain   (03.08.09)
How nice of you Jewish Refugee! Let me ask you a question: Is it fear of Iran that made you a refugee in the states?
22. Just a tiny oversight?
Persian CAT   (03.08.09)
Is it an oversight that the Zionistas keep skipping the fact that ALL Iran's uranium stockpile consist of Low Enriched Uranium (LEU), which is completely legal and done with complete IAEA monitoring and supervision? Is is so-called military expert claiming the "moderate" Arabs have no fears or concerns about the Israeli nukes which are currently aimed at all their major population and industrial centers, and they are mainly worried about Iran's non-existing nukes?!!! Let's not hysteria and lies become Israel's official policy more than it already has.

Dani ,   Israel   (03.08.09)
1)Please provide me with this report, I couldn't find one. Anyway I dont realize how the "UNRWA"(run mostly by local palis) can tell between a fried Hamas terrorist and a citizen while both wearing civilians clothing,interesting.And since when THEY count the dead, they get info from Hospitals. 2)Lets both admit: Neither of us can tell the real percentage, but clearly its not 95% civilians OR militants somwhere between 40%/60% for militants/civilians depends who youre asking, unfotunately NONE can be trusted. 3)You may check out this video, I know you'll claim its fake but pay attention to the words and the traslation you'll notice consistency. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0wJXf2nt4Y 4)We both know that this operation is only up to the US to decide, if there will be OK, trust me there will be operation, you can learn from history:-)
24. To 21 Marco from Spain.
Jewish Refugee ,   U.S.A.   (03.08.09)
Dear Marco, "Let me ask you a question: Is it fear of Iran that made you a refugee in the states?" Marco First of all, Iran was not even a problem when I moved to the U.S.A. Secondly, my family was persecuted in a Muslim country for many years it was so hard to live we had to move. We were told to leave everything if we want to make it safe to the airport. (We came to U.S. empty) Just as it happend to my ancestors in Spain in 1492 during the Inquisition. Jewish organization in U.S. and U.S. government assisted us in this journey. We have a status of refugees in U.S. please do me a favor and get the definition of the word refugee. I was young and I did not make this decision. But I tell you one thing that Jews in Diaspora are very helpful to Israel. As for the Fear part we Jews are already used to it. http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/
25. Game over!
IRAN#1   (03.08.09)
Israel has lost this game. Stop whining and admit defeat. The sooner you do that the better you will eventually feel.
26. Israel Pray for the wisdom of your leaders
Psalms 83 ,   Selah   (03.08.09)
and ask Hashem to protect his people.... Now is the time !

tony ,   socal   (03.08.09)
There is no other choice but to accept this: Iran is trying desperately to build not just one bomb but as many bombs as possible. Iran is already amassing enough “low grade“material to wreck havoc through untraceable proxies to on any nation in the world Iran defiantly plans on using these products, they are not for a museum collection. Iran will use them directly and indirectly The entirety of the world will be affected terribly by this Israel must avoid at all costs Holocaust II The US and the west must avoid WWIII Iran must be stopped. To be long term successful the head must be destroyed along with the body. One lone and wrong dissenter in the US cannot be what holds back the unanimous decision taken in Israel by those who are able to appreciate the true reality being faced.
28. Jerusalem is going to be nuked. The Bible is clear on that.
Rivkah   (03.08.09)
The mighty men of war will die and the women will be bald and ravished. This can be prevented if the Lord's reasons for allowing the coming tragedy are addressed. The flaunting of sodomy and the wanton eyes of women are the reasons God will not protect Jerusalem. Sodomites must not be allowed to live in God's Holy Mountain (Jerusalem). Put them back into the closet or make them live somewhere else. Women must adorn themselves with modest eyes or live elsewhere, too. Gay parades are an obvious revulsion to the Lord and provocation not to protect the city.
29. "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb bomb Iran. Bomb bomb bomb
Rivkah   (03.08.09)
bomb bomb Iran. Bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran. We're gonna rock, rock, rock tonight." That is how the song goes...an Oldie but Goodie.
