4. WHAT? Does Ukraine border Iran, Ynet??
DK ,   Haifa, IL   (04.08.09)
"The matzot were manufactured in Ukraine, and then delivered to a neighboring country of Iran" Since when Ukraine which is located in Central Europe borders Iran in Central Asia? Does mr. Itamar Eichner have basic knowledge in geography?
5. What's the difference?
Bob O'Really ,   Australia   (04.08.09)
Now you know how Gazans feel, when they want to celebrate a festival. But I guess it is different for jews to smuggle something in. What happens to the 20,000 jews when Tehran gets nuked by Israel??
6. HEY BOB,TAKE ANOTHER DRINK
HAL TRIPP ,   LA PAZ,BOLIVIA   (04.08.09)

Yehudi ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.08.09)
Mr O'really, you are are really nasty person. Chabad is bringing in matzah for Passover. The Gazans bring in guns to kill people with. God bless Chabad. They are the Jewish Salvation Army.
8. # 4 no wiseguy, just read it WELL
Yochanan ,   Amsterdam   (04.08.09)
9. Somoene needs to re-read the ban
Jacob Blues ,   New York City, USA   (04.08.09)
Iran is apparently banning all Jewish products. If the ban were just on Israeli products then goods from the Ukraine wouldn't be a problem at all. What this means is that people like NY Times Richard Cohen needs to review is argument that the Iranian government isn't hostile towards its Jewish minority.
10. You hopless clowns! Any can cook matzot their home in iran
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (04.09.09)
I just looked in google to find only that matzots, subject of "Great operation" is unleaven craker like flakbread or better form in Turkish lavash Possibly it is smuggled by the same team you smuggled iranian pistacios from Iran, in exchange for? By the way I am loooking forward to your Friday morning operation and third frustration of IDF In fact IDF never win a war in history including 6 days wars but then GSM phones taking photo and internet was not existing or not widespread that press censur prevented you to learn your failures. WATCH LIVE FAILURES FRIDAY MORNING ATTACKING AT IRAN
11. words of wisdom from the clown at #10
hal tripp ,   la paz, bolivia   (04.09.09)
the garbage that we read from the number 10's of the world is pathetic, a 10 year old is smarter.he forgot to mention the 2 million armenians massacred in 1915 by the turks.he also forgot the 17 billion dollar deficit turkey is faced with this year.
12. Here is a question for you...
Stephan ,   Chicago   (04.09.09)
Why on earth is any Jew living in a muslim country? What kind of idiot would one have to be to willingly subject them self to dhimmitude? Isreal is just west of there...but instead of living in the land...they prefer to live like pigs.
13. #12-Read The Hagaddah! "Why" Is Explained Very Clearly
David H ,   Marietta USA   (04.09.09)
The Hebrews begged Moses to return to Egypt as they walked through Sinai. Slavery might not be fun, but it is secure, you are taken care of, you know exactly what happens next. The Passover story is about much more than just the physical departure from Egypt, it is also about a psychological leap of faith into a very frightening unknown future. The Jews of Persia may be Dhimmis, but it is the safe, secure life of a slave, and if you don't rock the proverbial boat to much, you live quietly. Freedom is rarely very appealing to the general population. It certainly isn't here in the US, where we are quietly giving up our rights to a rock star idol. Don't be too judgmental-just try to see it for what it is, as sad as it may be
14. the mullahs could learn from Chaban

Chabad smuggles matzah to jews. The mullahs could learn a few lessons from Chabad
