63. #54 iranians have been brainwashed into thinking that
(03.28.09)
destroying israel shall somehow be beneficial for them. otherwise, why would they want to kill people who have nothing to do with them? what did the little monkey promise them that killing jews seems so appealing? he demonised israelis no doubt, but did he lead them to believe that jerusalem is the key for a revival of the persian empire?
64. Decleration of War
Yisraeli   (03.29.09)
It is clear to most that Iran has openly and formally made a Decleration of War on Israel. Not only have they announced their intentions time and time again clearly stating that soon Israel will be wiped off the map. But have actively engaged in its preperation by arming Hezbollah in the north and Hamas in the south whilst preparing long range missiles and nuclear possibility at home. If this isnt an open declarion of war then I dont know what is. Yet Israel not only asleep at the wheel but actively encouraging her enemies by withdrawing from the north and south. And continues discussions of withdrawing from the east. This goes against any semblance of logic. I conclude that there must be a higher power at work here. Lulling the enemy with a false sense of security and believing in theyre ability to achieve its goals of the destruction of Israel. They will eventually come against Israel only instead of making it a final solution of the Jews it will bring about theyre own mass destruction and the so called ME problem will finally be solved. What a setup and israel doesnt even realise it.
65. "Maria" from Gaza
Mongo ,   Paris   (03.29.09)
Your comments indicate that you must have received a first class education at the local Hamas sponsored mosque. Bombing teenagers at a disco is terrorism. Killing elderly people at a passover celebration is babarian. DonĀ“t you get it? Probavbly excplains why you live in the dumps until today. Denial is not a way to live a life. Get a life loser.
66. Sarah and the Myth of War
Sean ,   Montreal, Quebec   (03.29.09)
Just how simple do you think this world is Sarah ? You claim that 90% of terrorist attacks are perpetrated by "Moslems". You need to read a book. The author of this article claims that Iran may be trying to control the entire Middle East. You don't really believe that do you? Are you honestly afraid that a middle (at best) power is capable of usurping the sovereignty of a nuclear armed Israel? When you told Maria, "now that I think about it" you weren't being honest. It is obvious you haven't put any thought into it at all. Just prejudice and fear. People watching the situation have no doubt that there are people in Iran who have learned to hate Jews simply because they are Jews. There is no denying this. What is equally obvious, is there are Jewish people who hate Muslims simply because they have been born into or practice Islam. There are always people who try to incite to war as though it were the solution. They sell the myth of war. Deceiving others to believe that there is something noble about war. Ever demonizing the other side. The results of that experiment have been public knowledge for some time. It has been empirically proven that war is not ceasing war! I am truly sorry that a war salesman like Alex Fishman has got you convinced to the contrary. May G-d and the memory of Shoah, guide you the next time you wish to efface an entire people of a certain religious belief. I would suggest that you allowed your passions to get the better of you.
67. Iran is present at our borders :
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (03.29.09)
The terrorist movements Hizbullah and Hamas are both Iranian satellites. We should fight and beat to the ground the Hizbullah first and then Hamas, so that when we will have to deal with Iran the north front and the south front are pacified. Hamas continue to insist they are never going to recognize Israel and never going to make peace. So what is there to talk about with them? It is evident that negotiating with Hamas and Iran cannot lead anywhere. Hizbullah's strengthening in Lebanon means that Israel's mortal enemy, Iran, has a stronger presence on Israel's northern border. Israeli ex-Ambassador to the UN Danny Gillerman explained, "Weapons are flowing to Hizbullah, Lebanon is being torn apart and is bleeding... Iran is on our northern border, and, to some extent, on our southern border as well." The civilization of Islamic Iran : http://xrl.us/biz87
68. 56/63
Fahd ,   Dammam, KSA   (03.29.09)
To 56 , thanks, we are all learning .to 63; I think you are right on the whole , it is the rise of nationalism masked as ideology , the emotive force , is Persian imperial ambitions , they do think deeply that Israel is the only serious impediment to achive their grand dreams.
69. Would Alex Fishman volunteer to...
Persian CAT   (03.29.09)
sit in the first plane that attacks Iran? I didn't think so. Cowards can only write articles about the "need" to start a war. That's all folks.
70. # 61 WANDA
ROMAN ,   USA   (03.29.09)
Why a bigot ? How do I figure ? Please don't talk about "gross acts of generalization " because you are the queen of exactly that, And 'attempted smear" is just not attempted here at all...you are nobody...who cares about smearing you...It is your job however to smear everyone...your attempts at disqualifiyng everything that might show Israel and jewish people in a positive light are pathetic and smell of old school Polish antisemitism. What business is it of yours to voice support for the Iranian thugs with nonsense statements like your # 4 post ? Do you have a sentimental attachment to the likes of Ahmadinejad ? Or do you just attack Israel and jews whenever possible cause you got this hate in your heart ? What makes you read Israeli press and opine always counter?Name your motives if you have any courage ! Pot-kettle buster...how brave of you...
71. Persian CAT #69
X'   (03.29.09)
There will be no planes in the future attack on Iran. The fist wave will be about 100 thermonuclear tipped Jericho missles that will make your country flat, black,lifeless and glow in the dark for the next 10,000 years. Get rid of your criminal terrorist Islamonazi mullocrasy before you are obliterated as a result of their insane policies
72. #70
Wanda ,   Montrel   (03.31.09)
Fair enough. If you believe my requests for temperance to be redolent of antisemitism, then instead of asking you to specify (instead of the classic abstraction of name-calling that appears to be the norm in counterarguments on ynet) i'll pony-up for risk of being naive... I have no sentimental attachment to Ahmadinejad whatsoever. Anyone who has that for ANY leader whatsoever (say: Obama) is dangerously close to confusing themselves into blind obediance. I have a great love of Persian culture, almost as close as I do for Jewish heritage (they are both incredibly rich and vital). But that love should be exhibited as critically and attentively as possible: love it enough to scrutinize and CARE. All spins placing Iran in a negative light that I've seen are either egregiously out-of-date or have been purposefully misrepresented. Name a few and I'll show: x was mistranslated, y was out of context, z is a misreading of the NPT etc.... As for 'attacking israel and jews', if that is because I will not grant Jews knee-jerk preference out of sheer fear of breaking taboo, then yes, I guess that would constitute 'an attack', if that's your perspective. But why should they have that? I think the whole Jew/non-Jew discrimination is nonsense: there are basic human moral imperatives, and any hypocrisy should be routed and exposed so it'll tear itself apart. For someone who claims that noone cares what I think, I thank you for then asking me to clarify and provide exegeses.
73. Iran
Michael Schuffler ,   Seattle, WA, USA   (04.03.09)
Not a comment, but a question: What is Iran's global strategy that makes it want to eliminate Israel? Is it simply that it can't tolerate a Jewish state in a Moslem part of the world or is Israel viewed as a threat to Iran's foreign policy goals.
74. the time has come
will ,   dallas tx usA   (04.04.09)
I believe the time has come to start taking names and kicking butt. I am now getting hate mail from haters because I leave my email address when I leave my comments. I am not afraid of anyone who wants to go against Ha-Shem. I am not at all scared of those who want to pin me against the wall for my support of what is right. I am all for the eradication of the enemies of Israel and Judaism. We have already proved we can take what these hateful people dish out. I think it's time to show them we can also give it back much more so... but that is just how I feel.
75. #74
Wanda ,   Montreal   (04.05.09)
Then how are you different from those so-called 'hateful people'. Seriously. How are you not then guilty of perpetrating the same dissemination of hate that you so adamantly oppose. This is not meant to be a personal question....
76. Maria-on terriorists
Yechielshlipshon ,   Joelton, USA   (04.11.09)
Maria, if your culture is so fine, then why is it permissible for a father or brother to kill kinwomen if raped, christians, Bahies and Druz find better living standards and freedom in Israel, and your people keep on threatning and killing all over the world? And----why is Russia siding up with Israel? Hummm; maybe you better see where G-d is?
77. #24-Bring it on!
Yechielshlipshon ,   Joelton, USA   (04.11.09)
Reminds me of a talkback I read in 1967, "Come on Zion, let's see you bite" or something like that. An Egyptian wrote it, and I guess he eat his words. Now, it is your turn!
78. # 12
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (04.12.09)
Maria ! Israel is out from Gaza,what is your justification for firing kasams on Israel ? you, fired the first shot after Israel left Gaza.do you expect israel to let you fire casams and do nothig ? Israel handed you over farms and equipment that produced hundreds of millions of dollars a year,which you looted and destroyed,so,don't cry about occupation.you are your own worst enemy,always pointing fingers,while you expect the world to feed you.
