1. THANK YOU MR.MERIDOR
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (09.12.09)
For separating the issue of tackling and air strike by Israel.All we have been hearing so far from your collegues is 'if not then we go solo on Iran'. Balance of power will change?Of course Mr.Meridor, the balance HAS already changed even without the Nuclear weapons.What to talk when Iran has one.Anyway,Mr. Meridor,what new initiative are you likely to suggest when you said something has to be done?
2. Meridor threatens
Haider ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (09.12.09)
To Meridor and the likes of him: You are no human beings
3. Time for action
Adi Sinclair-Livni   (09.12.09)
Agreed on this issue. The time is now to act vis a vis Tehran. If Iran acquire or already acquired the nuclear bomb, the balance of power will change threatening all. Like the nuclear site was destroyed in Iraq and Syria, these too should be destroyed.
4. Mahmood
Eyal ,   USA   (09.12.09)
Don't worry, this is not just he says...Israel will destroy the nuc facilities before Iran will and when they do, you will feel it in London you dumb Muslim Arab. Israel will be the greatest nation in the Middle East and most part of the world, after the Muslims will feel the wrath of the REAL G-D of the Chosen people and not your Satan Allah.
5. Iran has ability now to make nukes, bombing will not stop it
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, USA   (09.12.09)
While Iran has centrifuges and uranium ore it can make nukes. Bombing would destroy Iran's reactor and many of the centrifuges but most likely not all since they are buried underground and it could build more centrifuges. Destroying the reactor would stop Iran from using plutonium and slow down the number of nukes they make but they could still use uranium it just takes twice as much. I don't see Iran making nukes for atleast 5 yrs because of pressure from Russia and Iran needs newer aircraft first.
6. We are running out of time : It’s time to act!
Ron B. ,   Lod   (09.12.09)
It’s time to act! The Iranian regime is motivated by a messianic ideology with a strong apocalyptic component. This renders useless the threat of mutually assured destruction. It is clear that if Iran acquires nuclear weapons, it will be impossible to confront Syria or Hamas who will operate under Iran’s nuclear umbrella. Iran today at : http://xrl.us/h8ydt
7. Haider @ 2; Likes of you were saying this for millennia.
leo ,   usa   (09.12.09)
History, however, proves just the opposite. I doubt you even know what it means to be a human being.
8. Haider:Reality check as to swedes
Arie ,   BaGolan   (09.12.09)
They are more interested in satiating the blood lust and blood libel of their islamonazi overlords than reality. Now that the swedes have fallen prey to the caliphate, they tow the islamonazi propaganda line fearing retribution!
9. mahmood is just echoing the islamobrit gov't line
Arie ,   BaGolan   (09.12.09)
Now with the islamobrits openly showing their complete subservience to the terrorist qadaffi in offering up the lives of over 270 innocents - mainly kids - and helping train their terror forces ALL IN THE NAME OF MONEY (how swiss of them), mahmood is just echoing the line of the islamobrit government. They have taken a page out of the swissie page book during the Shoah: steal, and the use the stolen monies to finance and supply a terrorist sworn to exterminate the Jews, and when any of his terrorists are caught, returning them to strike again...for a fee of course.
10. 2, real meaning
Gil ,   Tel Aviv   (09.12.09)
"Likes of you" = Jews "You are no human beings" = should die. Meaning = "Jews should die". (from Israel's "best friend" ... Sweden.)
11. He is right.
Daniel ,   Israel   (09.12.09)
Iranian bomb is lurking on our heads first, one is sufficient! Rest of the bombs will be for Saudi, Iraq and Turkey to gain control over complete region. Pakistani bombs; protected and sponsored by the USA (90 as per latest news) are pointed towards India; So, India is already in grave danger; leave her out. USA is put to sleep by voters last election. So, do not depend on it. France is almost a Muslim country. So, leave it out. And the rest of the world is fast a sleep, so it is only we. Do or die, do or be alive are only two options. Why not do it without wasting any time!

glenn harbison ,   Victoria Canada   (09.12.09)
When is it time then? When it's too late? Better lock up your organs at night.
13. Strike Before Its To Late.
James Mckinlay ,   Israel   (09.12.09)
Strike Now Before Its to late!!. Iran will take us out one day, unless we do what we are best at. The world can say NO!!!!, So We can wait, the world can say STOP!! Then it might be to Late. If there Is Enyone Left Standing After they Bomb us It will be Striped Pajamas for them. Then the whole of Western Civilazation, will have to start learning to pray five times a day.
14. Pray to the G-d of Israel.
The 11th Man ,   London   (09.12.09)
15. Israel's Mistake
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.12.09)
You've waited on your replacement god ,the US to take care of things. The US is not your moshiach ! This was the same mistake the Jews did in WWII. YOUR TRUST IS MISPLACED AGAIN.

Logic ,   Israel   (09.12.09)
Meridor is considered one of the most moderate and respectable politicians in Israel...and you are insulting him?! Who are you, Haider?
17. 1# You should concentrate on the country that won't
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (09.12.09)
exist when they use the weapons on the Jews. Maybe that is why you hide in London. Iran will cease to exist once they use the weapon. And use the weapon they will. The weapon was never intented to wipe the muslims out when Israel acquired it. It was meant to deter the country being taken over by radical Arabs and Persians. On the other hand...the Persians plan to exterminate the Jews and have so stated the fact. Your pissing spot will be destroyed when your terrorist buddy admad the nut case uses it on Israel. But hey.....you are taking over Europe...so what does it matter.
18. 7
Rosie ,   Israel   (09.13.09)
Agree with you.
19. 8
Rosie ,   Israel   (09.13.09)

20. 10
Rosie ,   Israel   (09.13.09)
Your formula is soooooo correct.
21. 11
Rosie ,   Israel   (09.13.09)
Iranian bomb is lurking on our heads first - luckily, we are not defenceless. are we? Pakistani bombs; protected and sponsored by the USA (90 as per latest news) are pointed towards India - India has nukes too USA is put to sleep by voters last election. So, do not depend on it - correct France is almost a Muslim country - correct
22. 17
Rosie ,   Israel   (09.13.09)
Thank you
23. 15, its a global problem
dani ,   beer sheva, israel   (09.13.09)
not just an israeli one. so, the world should put some effort too.
24. Iran & Obama want to stall till its to late military action
zionist forever   (09.13.09)
I think we have seen already that Iran has no intention on giving up work on its desire to develop nukes. Iran desperately wants to be a regional superpower and global military power and the only way to achieve that is with nukes. The Iranian nuclear reactor will be going online very soon and hit it when its online you risk spreadng radiation accross the deserts of the Middle East to get blow in the wind That was the urgency of destroying Saddams reactor because it had to be done before it went online. Iran knows this and the stalling isn't about getting the nuke its about bringing everything online so in the hope the men at the top in the US & Israel will say its to risky to do anything now. The longer we leave this the better the Iranian technology is going to get to make it harder. Their offensive missiles get more advanced & harder for Israels missile defense systems to shoot down. The more weapons Iran will either develop or buy such as the S300 which is one of the most advanced anti aircraft systems in the world. Iran is working on a spy satelitte program so if they can spy on either tiny Israel or an Amererican fleet in the Gulf ( both small areas to keep track on ). Also the longer we wait the less momentum there is to do anything ,, we have waited this long without doing anything so lets just wait longer we have the time. Before they know it Iran will be testing its first nuke. Then the politicians will say back to the drawing board Iran has nukes now so what should our new goals be? Obama himself has ruled out military action, it was one of his campaign promises and why he is so desperate to talk sanctions. He wants to stall through tough talk & sanction threats and take it to the point where the military option is no longer viable so it removes military action. One less hard decision for him to make now he can use diplomacy till 2012 without any pressure to take military action if diplomacy doesn't work.
25. EYAL,DON'T GET ANNOYED............#4
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (09.13.09)
When you read something that is true.Leave aside your rhetorics about destroying Iranian Nuclear facilities and so forth.These are words that don't suit you. I am not an Arab and my strongest advise to you is not to get your religion involved in anyway.Zionism and its aspiration will never be fulfilled,Ayal.Learn to live with realities now!!
