A predatory, parasitic existence that will only survive so long as the US shields it from bilions of antsy Muslims. "A Zionist state in Palestine can only be installed and maintained by force and we should not be a party to it..." —President Franklin Roosevelt, 5 March 1945

The UN and USA intelligence reports have all specifically come to the conclusion that IRAN is not developing a nuclear bomb. No one can expect a country to halt nuclear development because of some unsubstantiated media hype. For heavens sake print some real news.

Dear Dr. Oren, instead of trying to get the US involved in another proxy war to save your country from immediate existential destruction, perhaps Israel can recall/mobilize it's vacationing reserves/veterans so that the vaunted IDF can finally start paying their dues.

Obama is getting politically weaker everyday. He has run out of 'blame-bush' excuses. His policies are making the economy even worse and everyday he looks more and more like a fool when it comes to foreign policy. Wait 3-6 months, then after his approval rating is below 40% strike Iran. SIMPLE ! REMEMBER: Nearly the entire Republican Party and most Moderate Democrats support you. This equals nearly 80% of all the elected officials in the United States.

Oren said: "We believe that the president has America's best interest at heart." Oren: "We believe he has the interest of the region at heart." Does Mr. Oren believe Obama has Israel's security interests at heart? No. Barack H. Obama might well be fine with Iran wiping Israel off the map. Doesn't Benjamin Netanyahu understand President Obama ran with viscious Jew-haters his entire adult life. Are Benjamin Netanyahu and Michael Oren living in a world of wishful thinking when it comes to this U.S. president?

Ambassadors are too "diplomatic" to admit that the truth is that the people called "Palestinians," invented by Arafat, carry on in "daddy's tradition" of pretending that they seek "Peace" with Israel, while covertly planning Israel's eventual destruction!

and tried for war crimes along with other zionist murderers.

Israel and "allies' should be more concerned with Iran meddling in Middle East than a nuclear bomb! Iran will develop nuclear bombs and power stations, and long range rockets despite protests by concerned states. it has the resources and allies to do so.on the other hand, its leaders know full well what kind of massive retalliation they would get if they sent a nuclear bomb ex territory. Iranian people will realize the waste of resources that might be spent in more productive ways. in time they will force change.

WITHOUT A CHANGE IN THE MIND-SET OF THE PAL'S. ANY ATTEMPT AT SOME TYPE OF PEACE DEAL IS ILLUSORY. THUS, THE TEXT BOOKS AND T.V. OF THE PAL'S MUST BE CHANGED TO NOT HATE ISRAEL. THIS TAKES TIME, AND DOES NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.........EVEN IF THE PAL'S LEADERS REALLY MEANT IT AND WANTED TO CHANGE........ AND THAT'S A BIG " IF ".

foremost. Israel should not wait for Barry Hussein to act; he will never do it. I think that his recent speech in Cairo and fightening silence over Iran's election only proves one thing: he is not a friend of the Jews; he is not a friend of Israel; he's not even a well wisher to his own country. His demestic policies are de-based and pro communist; his foriegn policy is at best non existant. Destruction of Iranian nuclear facilities is a must and the sooner it will be done - the better.

Michael Oren says "We believe that the president has America's best interest at heart." Let's get real! Obama already has dumped Israel. It's time Israel stops depending on Obama.

But the new IAEA guy has said that Iran is not seeking nukes!

Mr. Oren; LOUDER PLEASE!

Too funny! Israel has been killing its own citizen for eons (Arabs of course) and the only real dangerous people/country in the middle-east are guys like Lieberman and Netanyaou, Israeli of European descent with no affinity to Islam and Arabs.... A guy like Lieberman had the right of return with zero affinity to Israel while real Palestinians are denied the same right. Israel has created an awful apharteid and is now officialy "just" another Middl-East country, violent and un-democratic.... Pfftttt!!!!

IAEA. No evidence of bomb. Israel ambassador. Iran working hard towards bomb.

SOME WOULD SAY THAT THE BIGGEST MURDERERS ARE THE CHINESE. MAO TSE-TUNG MURDERED MILLIONS OF HIS OWN PEOPLE FOR NO REAL REASON, AND NOT FOR SELF DEFENSE. THE HISTORY OF CHINA IS RIPE WITH DEATH AND MURDER. BUT EVEN IF 25 OR 50 MILLION CHINESE DIS-APPEARED TOMORROW, WHO WOULD REALLY KNOW THE DIFFERENCE ?

Peter Morris , New Zealand REALLY KNOWS HIS RUBBISH VERY WELL. PERHAPS HE WAS AN APPRENTACE IN THE " RUBBISH " BUSINESS......... GARBAGE ! ALL THESE AUSSIES LIKE LYDIA THE VAMPIRE AND MORRIS FROM NEW ZEALAND .........WHERE DO THEY GET THE TIME TO READ YNET ? PERHAPS BECAUSE YNET ONLINE IS FREE, THESE CHEEPOS PEOPLE READ IT FOR FREE AND THEN MAKE SCHIZOID PARANOIAC COMMENTS. LYDIA THE PSYCHO ETHICS PREACHER...IN AUSTRALIA.......... LYDIA.....YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE MURDERED THE ORIGINAL INHABITANTS OF AUSTRALIA . YOU MURDERED THE ABORIGINES OF WHAT IS NOW CALLED " OCCUPIED AUSTRALIA ". YOU STOLE THEIR CULTURE, TOU STOLE THEIR LAND THAT YOU OCCUPY.............. AND YOU HAVE THE TENACITY TO PREACH TO OTHERS OF MORALITY..... MURDERING A CULTURE OF ABORIGINES...... GET OFF THEIR LAND LYDIA YOU THIEF ! WHAT A LYING RASCIST FRAUD YOU ARE LYDIA !

Rejoice Lydia! The return of the Jews to Israel is one of the few instances of an expelled native people successfully returning to their native land! "The Jewish state negotiates tensions openly. That's the stuff of genuine democracy. Can meaningful demoracy be seen in any Islamic state today". -Irshad Manji Islamic scholar and feminist in "The Trouble With Islam Today" - 2003. One more thing, Lydia. How about actually doing some detailed study about the Arab-Israeli conflict? I know its harder than just using inappropriate and immoral slogans and buzzwords, but it is worth the effort.

The subject of Iran.Your duties will include the thickest file on Iran and you did well in opening the first pages of that file.No one expected you to follow what the new IAEA chief said about the Iranian Nuclear progress and as your statement is in direct contradiction of Mr.Amoan's statement,Mr.Amano is in trouble even before he settles down.Mr.El-Bareidi left singing the same song as Mr.Amano has just done.Do we now also replace or try to fight replacing Mr.Amono? Your allegation of Iran's ability to wipe out Israel in seconds is a BIG insult to Israel.What about billion of dollars worth of most sophisticated defence shield that your country has been given.It started with the land based radars,followed by sea-based ones and lately the space based ones either installed or in the process of being done.How can you disregard these installation and make it look Iran's capabilities in being able to wipe out Israel in seconds.What a farce,Mr.Oren.Anyway,welcome to the new post and keep close record of what you said,will say and what will be asked by someone for you to say.You,yourself will enjoy numerous contradictions and dream-world fantacies while Iran continues to persue civil usage of Nuclear energy.Thanks for referring to Sunni Arabs.You seem to have also acquired the thorough knowledge of Shia and Sunni but what about Shias in UAE,S.ARABIA,IRAQ,KUWAIT and BAHRAIN?Won't they suffer,Mr.Oren?

Report: U.S. to block Iran sanctions at G8 summit. The United States is opposed to enacting a new set of financial sanctions against Iran that are due to be discussed in the G8 summit next week, diplomatic officials in New York reported Friday

How can UN and USA intelligence reports conclude Iran is not developing a nuclear bomb when Iran refused to cooperate with UN inspectors? Their findings are obviously flawed and based on incomplete information. Remember, Iran's jihad is against the West and New Zealand is part of the West. Just keep your head in the sand.

do you know what u r talking about or are u just quoting at whim quotes that you do not understand? have u ever live in Israel. If not, then,,,!

lydia and peter, keep writing you ill-informed garbage from afar, in the safety of your antipodean homes. when u live in the middle east, then talk.

Israeli Arabs are not treated as equals, that i must say, but get it out of your head - the are not killed. they have rights here - which is more than I could say the have in other arab countries or students in china for that matter. china is the worst (maybe not the worst) with regards to civil rights, so your'e not one to talk. peace out.

it is very easy to judge a nation from across an ocean. it is a fact that without a Hebrew nation, a second holocaust is just a matter of time, listening to your hateful and condiceanding statements. that is why Israel has the right to exist. or do you deny it ever existed like Iran's president? a Zionist country ban ve maintained by force... that is sad BUT TRUE, when your neighbors are set out to kill you from the get go. I dont like the situation, but as long as Arab's attitude towards us does not change - we have no other choice.

you are right and he is wrong. while nuclear power for energy purposes is fine, don't be delusional and think Iran wants this power for peace. they want to be treated as a world power - and the only way is with nukes. I hope you wont have to eat your hat in 2-5 years, when they have one as piss all over the world like north Korea does. oh...and another thing- it is not you they want to annihilate so its easy for you to take that off chance we are wrong. wise up.

with regards to the current Iranian regime i mean... i do believe that US best interest to to keep Israel strong as the ONLY western democratic country in the area. not to mention the benefits we give one another on technology, finance and intelligence.

it is the work of a diplomat to advance certain interests of a state - in this case, the subject of Iran having a nuclear bomb. he never said we cannot defend ourselves, he was merely pointing the obvious, that with this kind of power, Iran would finally have the means of following through what their president stated he wants - the total annihilation of Israel. no defense system is perfect and if just one warhead slips through it would mean disaster for such a small country. don't be delusional and think they want this power for peace, their goal is to be a world power, with greater influance on the Arab world and the world in general. they know that the only way to achieve this it by turning nuclear. WHY DO YOU THINK ALL OTHER ARABS COUNTRIES OBJECT THEM? and in conclusion, as an Arab who lives in England, i am sure you would want to be in Iran right now. mind you that the Arab nation consists of 22 states. the Jewish nation consists only out of one. tiny one for that, we cannot afford to lose what we have and the chance for that happening grows significantly when a fanatic leader gains the means to do so. oh, and another thing- my country IS given American dollar for defense purposes, so does Egypt and i believe a few other countries in the region. we do have our own technology and a defense industries. one of the biggest in the world... out of necessity. what I'm trying to say is... we would survive even without those funds, we will not survive without the support of the SANE world against the INSANE sects of the Muslim fanatics. Mr. Oren's address was simply an attempt to rally the would to face the Iranian threat, nothing more - nothing less.
