31. get to the point!
tom ,   toronto, canada   (05.27.09)
this analysis is "interesting", but what's your point? what should israel be doing differently? should israel be fuelling up the f-15s for a strike on iran, or quickly removing all "settlers" from the territories? should israel defy the united states as well, or kow-tow to the white house and its new, pro-arab stance? america's obvious impotence in the face of iran and north korea, and president obama's willingness to push israel under the bus aren't quite the stuff of "world wars". but they are definitely the stuff of israeli cabinet decisions. so what you suggest?
32. OBAMA POSSESSES NO EXPERIENCE OR GUMPTION FOR CONFRONTATION
David P. ,   Central Coast, USA   (05.27.09)
If you blatantly defied the Bush Doctrine with formal and overt gestures you were subject to potentially harsh consequences. The abandonment of such doctrine has been met with immediate and decisive challenges from the proponents of World War III. Our experience with humanity these past 70 years has taught us not to stare into the headlights of an oncoming death train like petrified deer waiting to be pulverized?
33. #5 Just one question.
Joo ,   Eurabia   (05.27.09)
Are you NZ aboriginal? If not, just shut up, apologize and return to Britain.
34. #20 Things to avoid:
Joo ,   Eurabia   (05.27.09)
1. Print with Cap lock 2. Read ynet, that can cause you heart attck one day 3. Write "Ghana" in your address, as nobody knows what it is
35. Zachariah 14
Reuven ,   Israel   (05.27.09)
Read it!
36. Relax, we shall be no more before "Kinneset" decides to act.

37. World War III has started
W.Rice ,   Modiin   (05.27.09)
Can anyone make sense of this article? I read it several times and I just do not get it. Does the writer think that our actions vis a via the settlements will Impact the Americans in their policy to rogue states possesing weapons of mass destruction? If this is the writer's intention, why would this impact the Americans?
38. To Sarah: There Will be More Museums
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (05.28.09)
To Sarah: You have it wrong. My prognosis is NOT an invasion of South Korea, but the killing and maiming of hundreds of thousands of JEWs. Yes, Jews, Yudah, Yids, MOTs, Israelites. How you ask? No. Korea, Syria and or Iran will give componant parts to surrogate, hidden cells, in Israel, the US, France or England..several to go off at once. No signature. The countries will deny responsibility, typically, just as Syria denied having a nuke site and Iran says, "Its for peaceful purposes". The message will be heard throughout the world.."Don't tread on me" (Iran, No, Korea, Al Qaeda, Jidadists). And we will have Steven Spielberg make more Shoah movies..and more Holocaust Museums. Even now, Muslim women are claiming the bomb plot in NYC was an FBI attempt to discredit Muslims. Wowowowo.
39. To Rivkah: 85% Voted No
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (05.28.09)
To Rivkah: in California, 85% of the "Jews" (whomever they are?), and 47% of others, voted No on Prop 8, allowing same sex marriages. The kind of sex these people must have is sexual deviation, and serves no purpose (cannot make a child). It's a temporary "thrill" if you will. The bible (613 laws of Moses) forbids this type of sex, especially between the same sex. Jews voted for Obama who is taxing us to death while benefitting his republican friends on Wall Street, AND speaks kind words about Ahmad, Chevez, Assad and Castro, not to forget Jong (that's changed hasn't it?). Let's talk, engage, have diplomacy. Thousands will demonstrate fo sodomy...and for the marriage tax benefit. Get it, benefit!
40. To Sarah: 2m Jews Will Perish
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (05.28.09)
To Sarah (again): Iran has 40,000 suicide bombers ready to kill every Jew worldwide. Al Qaeda and other groups have fatwas against we Jews and "infidels". Hez says to the US, don't meddle in Lebanon (while they take over). Everything you say might apply, but not to Israel. Iran can lose 30m in destroying the "Zionist State". Germany lost 6m trying to eradicate the Jews. It wove Jew hatred to motivate and inspire the Axis powers., "The Jews and Communists" were at fault. "Jewish necks wil hang..if the US attacks Germany. (Germany attacked US). Killing Jews is the exception to responsible use of nukes...one nuke over Tel Aviv..and it's all over but the crying, prayers and sorrows..and Holocaust movies.
41. Dear Peter Morris from New Zealand
The Truth Hurts! ,   Earth   (05.28.09)
You are some guy living in a country where the only issues are psychological (good meds or bad meds) I wouls suggest you get out of dream world beofre your country gets blown up by radical MF's PS: your drive a car? ...Aye??? :)
42. Albert Einstein said
Zohan ,   Tel Aviv   (05.28.09)
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." Yet, some people still think WW III is funny
43. The Fate of Iran, North Korean, Syria and Afghanistan
Tom Beoris ,   Lincoln USA   (05.28.09)
A single United States submarine waits quietly in the ocean. Range 6,000 miles . - 198 nuclear warheads.
44. Korea sells weapons to Iran
Garrison Katz ,   California   (05.28.09)
Do not worry about settlers worry that Iran will get bombs from Korea. Or Hizballah will get weapons from Korea or Hamas will. That is the danger not if someone is or is not happy with outposts. This connection is actually illogical and false!
45. Well Peter #5, it's nice to know you can still speak up for
Stewart ,   U.S.A.   (05.28.09)
the New Zealand antisemites. Any country that is misseled constantantly by a neighbor will bomb and attack that country. No one ever did it with the advanced care and civilian warnings that Israel did except maybe the U.S. in certain instances in Iraq. New Zealand and its antisemites make up an insignificant country. The Aussies on the other hand understand what standing up for freedom is all about. I suggest you plan a trip to Australia and make an appointment with a good psychiatrist to get your head shrunk at the same time. P.S. Ever wonder why the native New Zealand indigenous people side with Israel and the Jews. Seems like they have a lot more wisdom and cojonase than the average New Zealander that is far out in left field somewhere.
46. To: No. 38
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (05.28.09)
Let's see, how shall I sum this up? Oh, I know. Wrong, wrong and again wrong. Get a grip. If you can't, then at least get some Xanax.
47. 39,40 Dav Lev: It must break the Lord's heart for the
Rivkah   (05.28.09)
descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to be so opposed to God's 613 written laws to Moses. It must break Abraham's heart, too. Many are called, but few are chosen among the Jews and Gentiles. Two weeks ago at a Reform Jewish service, the speaker told the people in attendance that if they did not believe in socialism and global warming, they could leave. So I did not go back last week. At another service two years ago there, the teenage son of the same speaker gave a speech on how homosexuality was an acceptable lifestyle. It took a year or so for me to go back. How could a child be so corrupted in beliefs from parents who read the Torah and teach it? Now that son is so confused, he brought a Roman Catholic girlfriend to the service as if Roman Catholicism and Judaism were compatible in theology. Well, I guess there is one thing they do the same: they poison enemies. I have been poisoned by a Roman Catholic priest for wearing a star of David necklace and I have been poisoned by Jews in Israel at restaurants for looking like a goy. Too bad both groups cannot get back to the written 613 laws of Moses and stop following the manmade laws and traditions. Then they would have more in common. The way I see marriages between Roman Catholics and non-Roman Catholics is that one of them is going to get targeted for an early death and it won't be the Roman Catholic who is targeted, but the fool who married one.
48. Eitan Haber changed direction during the article
redbourn ,   tel aviv   (05.28.09)
One gets the impression that Eitan Haber wrote the first 2/3 of this article at night, and finished it in the morning, having forgotten what he wrote the night before. He explains America's impotence and gives reasons for it, and then sums up the article by saying that Israel needs to listen to the US. Every rogue state is thrilled to see N. Korea and Iran giving Obama the finger, and seeing him respond with only bigger and bigger adjectives. The world is perhaps looking at the start of WW3, and Haber is worrried about settlers in tin huts. One can only imagine Eitan Haber's if he happens to reread this article. Mike
49. Spit..
AN Honest American ,   USA   (05.28.09)
That was a fulgur word spitting in America's face.. why did not you sy spit in Israel Face, becuase that is what iran will do eventually, spit in Israel Face. Should you desire to use a better word like going against the Intrnational community's will then may be then you can claim yourself as a writer. And by the way, the spit is not in America's face its directed more to China, Japan, Australia, but I do not know why you insist its America to carry he burden. We are sick and teired of it.
50. US has no money for wars
Semsem ,   New York, USA   (05.28.09)
The US has no more money to wage big wars.
51. Piss on a lefty Jews head and he'll tell you its raining
Al   (05.28.09)
That about sums up the stupid attitude of most Jews including the author of this schmatta article.. The truth stares them in face and they want to believe that everyone loves them They are just that dumb. Its been going on forever. At time I wonder what the heck did g-d see in us. WE are a pathetic people.
52. Please, a few comments
Jack ,   Us   (05.28.09)
First, I'd simply shoot machetti weilding teenagers. Please. The citizens of the USA simply have lots of weapons. No one would ever be able to concour us. We are governed solely by convent of the people. Otherwise it would be never ending civil war. N Korea gases human beings in their camps. That fact alone makes them the world's enemy. They and Pakistan are the source of nuclear proliferation.
53. Israel Must Take Initiative
J M Slick ,   USA   (05.28.09)
Being an American, I believe that Israel should step up and lean on the unwashed taxi driver president of iran. We won't do it because a small majority stupidly elected a weakling freshman senator with no leadership experience and a naive philosophy of the world and its threats.
54. well said
den ,   London,England   (05.28.09)
I agree with your comments Ben, Jane you are very very naive in your understanding of the real political scene but when Israel is mentioned as a comparison to North Korea then your arguemnet fails straight away.How can you compare the regimes?? Israel is sorrounded by enemies who want her destruction and will have to fight for her survival.I think we all know thats the reality.
55. Iran needs to get their butt kicked
vic ,   USA   (05.28.09)
Iran needs to get their butt kicked
56. Nuclear weapons should betaken from all
steve ,   NY, USA   (05.28.09)
Someone answers me as to why Israel is allowed to have hundreds of nuclear warheads while Korea, Iran and other arab countries does not have the right for that? Take nuclear arms from all including Israel as soon as possible
57. To: No. 53
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (05.28.09)
Freshman senator is the least of it. The ONLY employment that Obama had prior to being elected to the Senate was as a "community organizer." (Just like the "Rev." Al Sharpton in New York.) Two categories of people graduate from Harvard Law School. Those whose acceptance is founded in true academic undergraduate achievement and impressive law boards. And those whose acceptance is founded in undergraduate mediocrity, unimpressive law boards and affirmative action. Take a guess, folks. Fact of the matter is, Obama was never even recruited by a law firm. Community organizer. The resume of the president of the United States of America should be a little -- no, a lot -- more substantial. Really.
58. I must be a complete idiot
Mike S ,   Santa Cruz, CA, US   (05.28.09)
"One needs to be deaf, blind, and an idiot at this time in order not to understand that the nuclear bomb tested in North Korea two days ago also exploded in the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem." Whining victim again? You think it distracts people from the atrocities you are committing, just like Hitler, on innocent victims but it doesn't. I look forward to the day when the US stops arming and funding you nutballs. And what makes you think Russia won't respond when you attack Iran? And you call us idiots!
59. #58, impressive self-awareness you have
Danny   (05.29.09)
60. re:world war 3 has started
hakeem ,   nigeria   (05.29.09)
A very poor article. It does'nt merit the space given to it. With such shouting headline, one would have expected the author to do a good job. He did no research & just narrows the topic. Most readers are even better informed
