1. State's reference to Israel undermines US stance on Iran
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (05.06.09)
When will this foolishness end? These idiots running US policy are weakening us day by day.
2. Israeli nukes
Barney ,   USA   (05.06.09)
when Israel is accepted and there is peace with all nations and no threats of wiping Israel from the face of the earth then this might be a possibility. All Jews and Israelis would welcome this. Unfortunately events seem to be headed in the other direction and so as rogue nations arm Israel will just have to have superior technology in those arms to survive as they have done thus far. Only fear of getting waxed has kept the hostile nations at bay. the fear of Israeli nukes is only the fear of them being used in retaliation not aggression. Israel is stable and sensible enough not to use nukes unless under dire circumstances. this cant be said of Israel's neighbors.
3. worse than "f*ck the jews" Baker

4. as expected with Hussain you cant beat Iran so disarm Israel
zionist forever   (05.06.09)
We are not going to get anywhere with Iran with rewards alone and carrot and stick diplomatic policy has been got nowhere for years now so new tactic disarm Israel. Say to Iran look we disarmed Israel, we love muslims so come on don't develop nukes and to give you an insentive we will give you all the latest American weapons. Right now the most advanced aircraft in the airforce are some aging F14s which you can't even get parts for. What would you say if we gave you F/A 18s maybe even sell you the F35 when its ready. . We will even help you develop a missile defense program so if those nasty jews ever get any crazy ideas about attacking you then they will regret it. Now you have the ability to shoot down their missiles and beat those older jets that Israel uses and of course you will get the best air-air missiles to go with those new planes. Israel you will be disarmed, there will not be any more conventional hardware given but we will make a bullshit promise about putting you under an American nuclear umbrella , we will nuke your enemies if we have to. In less than 3 months has has been trying to harm Israel more than any president in history, he makes Jimmy Carter look like our best friend. Anything to please the muslims and get rid of that dam jewish state that there is no place for in the 21st century.
5. wow
chris ,   baltimore usa   (05.06.09)
obama is really spanking israel, in the last 2 days he laid down the law to aipac, he sent perez home with his marching orders, and now hes telling bibi america is going to disarm you. all i can say is WOW. bibi must be curled up in the fetal position quivering under obamas MIGHT!
6. Give up nukes? OMG! How could ANY JEWS vote for Obama?!
shneerhere ,   NearRahm   (05.06.09)
You put arcane views on gun control and gay marriage above the survival of the Jewish State! Shame on US Jewry, you 78%-ers, who party while Israel feels an American noose tighten around her neck! Don't worry, you'll get bitten too... Measure for Measure......
7. Ridiculous...
jv ,   LA, USA   (05.06.09)
The NPT is for irresponsible rogue states. Neither Israel nor India should join. The Obama State Dept hates Israel. Samantha Powers would invade Israel and have the US Army fight on behalf of Hamas. She is that crazy.
8. IF ISRAEL
LARRY ,   US ARMY RETIRED   (05.06.09)
ALLOWS ITSELF TO BE A PUPPET STATE AND GIVE INTO THIS NEW ADMINISTRATION THEY CAN KISS THERE ASS GOODBY.THE WORLD HATES STRONG JEWS BUT RESPECTS THE STRONG REMEMBER YOUR HISTORY ISRAEL IT IS BETTER TO BE FEARED BY YOUR ENEMY THEN BE HUMILIATED BECAUSE YOU ARE WEAK.
9. Too late for regrets now. The messiah is here.
Jake   (05.06.09)
The American Jews embraced (and continue to embrace) this one with open arms. Normally one would expect to choose the method of suicide that is the quickest and the least painful. Oh well. To each his own.
10. since israel have it then iran could have it too
med   (05.06.09)
didn't you realize the us in weak position , the question will be again and again , if israel has a nuk weapon then why iran can't ? what you see in yourself they can't see in their ? the us used to close her eyes on what israel had when there were nothing official , but now isn't the same
11. Israel is always the target!
Maria ,   MD   (05.06.09)
not the USA or Europe!
12. Oh please!
Ypip ,   Canada   (05.06.09)
God is an astronaut, and Oz is over the rainbow....numb nuts.
13. finally
us ,   usa   (05.06.09)
usa has its head on straight. darn right israel should not have nukes if all those other countries cant.
14. Israel Give Up Her Nukes?
Heather Czerniak ,   Milwaukee, USA   (05.06.09)
With all the wacko neighbors Israel has on all sides, how's a woman supposed to defend herself?! Actually, schneerhere, most of the Jews in the US who voted for Obama or McCain have since switched to the Libertarian Party. They're pretty quiet about the switch, though. They're just waiting until Obama screws up big-time to be open about it so no one can rightfully hold it against them. Long live Israel! 3,000 years and still standing!
15. Stupid American liberal jews who voted for Obama.
David ,   USA ISRAEL   (05.06.09)
16. Obama started to show his DEMOCRAT side
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (05.06.09)
That is best move ever can be imagined from USA, Soon Israeli Nuclear sites shall be under International scrutiny Perhaps Israel will manage to shy away from control for awhile but it is a big achievement, step forwards by Peace supporters, and inevitable end will follow. NO NUKE IN ISRAEL EITHER,
17. bibi better tell b.o. we are not under his
jason white ,   afula,israel   (05.06.09)
18. bibi better tell b.o. we are not under his
jason white ,   afula,israel   (05.06.09)
rule. We are independent and we will wait till b.o. is retired in 2013. Does b.o. think he can push us around and we will follow his moslim orders? As for peres,he is a loser and does not represent the political views of Israel!
19. It should be mentioned
Pet ,   the netherlands   (05.06.09)
that Iran signed the non-proliferation treaty. regards from holland
20. "Unless those days are cut short...
David ,   New England   (05.06.09)
no flesh would survive.", Yeshua said. When in history could it be possible that no flesh would survive war? Only now, the nuclear age.
21. I understand -America rules the world
daniel ,   efrat israel   (05.06.09)
You see,only America decides who gets to have nukes. They are allowed 6,000-10,000 warheads-whatever. The world only respects money and power. Jews have both. As all the money dissolves around the world,Israel better not let anyone mess with her alleged nukes. Ben Gurion starved the country for 15 years to build the reactor. It is the only reason Israel is still here-God protect us
22. "it's the end of the world as we know it" soon
DANNY ,   America   (05.06.09)
America is going to go down if nobama gets his way! What a true cult follower.(CofC is a american cult) he is turning out to be. God will curse those who curse you Israel, hang on to your BUTTS when America tanks and is no longer any help. ISRAEL Just say No'bama we don't follow your cult. Back Him Off Quick. You may see a steady influx of non Jewish Americans moving to Israel for fear of God's wrath, if you don't.
23. Let them all have Nukes, let the games begin...
Israel use your ,   headstart lol   (05.06.09)
24. In a pig's eye. Israel can never trust a US president.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (05.06.09)
Not the last one, not this one, not the next one or the one after that. Keep the nukes ready to use, the time will certainly come, the muslims will see to it.
25. pfffff or els the USA going to send Israel
ghostq   (05.06.09)
to its room? nop Israel won't sign the damn thing and USA can't make her, USA just caved in to Iran. or to terror, when it come to the nety greaty(like in the past) the USA won't respect the agreemnt and will use her nukes, so no point to sign that thing anyway.
26. What good is a treaty if it is not enforced
ed ,   USA   (05.06.09)
Iran is a signatory to the NPT, does that stop them from building nukes?
27. Now that Obama shows his DEMOCRAT side, Istanbul is next
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (05.06.09)
in line to be returned to be Constantinople under Greeks as well as Iona, Anatolia to Armenians, Iskandur/Hatay to Syria, freedom for Kurdistan and complete withdrawal from Cyprus. After that all Turkish settlers squatting in Asia Minor are repatriated to their homeland in Central Asia. This is the new era of justice and democracy ushered in by B. Hussein Obama and no one is spared.
28. Obama Administration worries me
Semsem ,   New York, USA   (05.06.09)
The Obama Administration is beginning to worry me.
29. treaty
Lisa   (05.06.09)
this treaty was doomed from the start- why should one country be allowed nuclear power- the other one is shunned because of it? As long as the US has more than any other country, there is a balance, peace? Not everybody sees eye to eye on this one. What big brother has everybody wants too... especially the would be Napoleons like Ahmad. Israel to give up its nuclear arms- but Pakistan not? North Korea? Iran working on it? There are so may wild cards and rogue countries- there will never be a solution- except the final solution.
30. They think by getting Israel to join Iran will no longer
JO   (05.06.09)
have an excuse. But it does not work that way. Iran wants this and will not sign such a treaty even if Israel did. Israel is just one of their many political games and excuses.
