1. sorry .. bad analysis
Jalal ,   Gaza   (03.12.09)
2. TIPS FOR THE US!.
Orao Stranka. ,   Tsarigrad u Srbia.   (03.12.09)
THIS IS WHAT YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE SHOULD HAVE DONE A LONG TIME AGO - Another Israeli proposal to the US is that America at least hint publically that it is willing to grant Israel the armaments and stealth aircraft it seeks for the IDF’s “long arm.” AND SECONDLY - YOU ARE A JERK AS IN THE CASE WITH NORTH - KOREA. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR STRATEGIC POSITION IN THE FAR EAST BECAUSE OF THAT. FURTHER - THE SPIRIT OF THE STATUE OF LIBERTY WILL LEAVE YOU AND GO AND SETTLE IN ANOTHER NATION. BY JERK !. Orao.
3. Tips
Al ,   Ashkelon, Israel   (03.12.09)
Yes, like we succeeded in Lebanon and Gaza. Like we advised them to go into Iraq. It's good to know we can tell others what to do, when we can't even get our own act together.
4. Bad analysis, Israel does not need US armaments...
Aaron ,   SF, USA   (03.13.09)
Seriously, why does Israel rely on the U.S. for its weapons? I have more faith in the IDF and Israeli scientists and manufactures than the US people who made "smart" bombs. But...meh....as poor as Israel is while surrounded by 5 Arab countries....guess it needs something.
5. HAHAHAHAHA!
David ,   USA, exile   (03.13.09)
This trio of self hating stooges are going to advise the US on how to negotiate with the enemy? First advice, Give up half of America so Iran can launch missles into other states easily. Second advice, Give up the Northern region so as to appease the enemy and give them launch sites in the North as well as the South. Third advice, Tell the enemy please come and take all these millions of dollars and give them to hamass. Fourth advice, Relax and make bombs while we supply you with food, fuel, medicine, and anything else you may need. This is the kind of advice America can expect from Olmert, Livni and Barak. No thanks clowns.
6. If Israel were to give tips to the United States
GUH   (03.13.09)
It would probably be: 1. Bomb Arabs/ Iranians 2. Sacrifice Americans for Israel 3. Give more money and weapons to Israel 4. Give PR support to Israel 5. Keep up the UN resolution vetoes that criticize Israel 6. Keep the media conformed with Israel etc...
7. US does not need tips- It needs to see Iran for what it is
Shalom Freedman ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.13.09)
So long as the U.S. fails to recognize that Iran is an implacable enemy it will fall into the trap of delaying, wasting time while Iran moves ahead. The U.S. needs a kind of realism and determination it has yet to display. Once it understands that its biggest worry should be the damage Iran will do to U.S. allies and forces in the Middle East, in retaliation for a U.S. effort at preemption.
8. #7 Shalom Freedman
David ,   USA, exile   (03.13.09)
Does Yisra'el see Iran for what it is? If so, what are you guys waiting for? You boast the 4th most powerful military in the world. Why don't you use it. Why do you wait for the US? Do you need their permission? Or are you just willing for Americans to bleed and die but not your own sons? If America is your god then bow down and be sure to pay your taxes. If HaShem is your G-d, then t'shuvah and serve Him and He will fight your wars.
9. Yanks too dumb to decide their own foreign policy
Chanalau, Tova ,   London, UK   (03.13.09)
Quite right; Israel must educate all these stupid foreigners who do not realize that Tel Aviv is the font of all wisdom. Only Zionists know everything.
10. Best Tip for America
Gideon Reader   (03.14.09)
Pay careful attention for whom you cast your ballot. Placing a dope smoking, coke snorting marxist, egotistical self centered affirmative action no talent clown, who never had a job, never delivered a pizza, never started a business, never hired or fired or produced ANYTHING, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME for ANYONE, with little else but the ability to read from a teleprompter is a poor way to solve the problems of the United States of America and certainly NOT the rest of the world; particularly the muddled east, and with greater specificity Israel and it's hostile neighbors. Side note to Hillary Clinton the SOS(man does THAT ring true). You are NOT among the 100 smartest people in the USA. You are NOT among the 100 smartest people in Muleshoe, Texas or Dothan, Alabama.
11. #9 Despite your cynism
(03.14.09)
we are the light on to the nations.. and there for we are the font of all wisdom. (look back and read history!)
12. To #6
leo ,   USA   (03.15.09)
Hopefully '1' could be avoided. Regarding '2', Israelis always doing their own dieing and never asked anybody else to do it for them. About '3' through '6', I agree. This is very much needed. You have great ideas. Thank you.
13. A tip for Yisra'el
David ,   USA, exile   (03.16.09)
Study your history and you will learn. The 5 Arab nations are not who you should be worried about. Iran is not your first concern. They are only the Rod in the Hand of The Almighty, blessed be He! The Rod of your chastisement. T'shuvah! Cry out, "Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai." Then you will not need the US, nor Egypt, nor Babylon, nor horses, nor chariots, etc. etc. etc. You need Mashiach!
14. 12
Rosie ,   Israel   (07.06.09)
Great!!! Couldn't be put better. Short and to the point.
