1. All of my predictions came true
Israeli 2   (10.09.09)
Iran devestated by Israel.
2. TAKE IT SERIOUSLY
Mark ,   Netherlands   (10.09.09)
If i were you,I'd take this very seriouslyy and stop being arrogant about your own abilities. It's already too late for a military operation,so best idea is to either have iran fall into the same faith as north korea(which with all the financial importance of them i hardly doubt that would ever happen) or learn to live with a nuclear iran. Plus keep in mind the iranians have gained international legitimacy for their enrichment program in geneva this time,making things much harder on your side.
3. Remember Hiroshima, Beware Iran!
mike1947 ,   ISRAEL   (10.09.09)
I hope that it never comes to this, but I am sure that if Iran crossed a certain line in a counter attack against Israel, it would be remembered as the biggest man-made cloud ever produced, over Tehran!
4. Iran is terrified
Rob ,   UK   (10.09.09)
because it knows it will be reduced to radioactive dust before any of its terrorist fingers can push a single button. israel versus iran = no contest. bye bye Iran and all your evil.
5. #4
hakim ,   usa   (10.09.09)
You got to be out of your mind!! Terrified "I think not"
6. Oooo, so scary. You fought Iraq 9 yrs and ended in a draw :)
Yaniv ,   Israel   (10.09.09)
7. Yes they too have the right to defend themselves.
Ezra ,   London   (10.09.09)
8. They Will Do It Anyway
emanon ,   USA   (10.09.09)
No surprise. Any pretext will suffice. The rhetoric has not changed in many years. The only difference is the arab world can now make good on its promise.
9. Iran's threat on Israel
Brod ,   USA   (10.09.09)
must be taken seriously by Israel. Never repeat the mistake of the Yom Kippur War. Always be prepared and be brilliant in execution like 1967. The threat from the fanatical Islamist-Jihadist state of Iran is not just their nukes but also by their long-range missiles with payloads that can obliterate a city. And these dark forces have ample supply of these missiles. When these armaments are in the hands of fanatical Islamist-Jihadists, they are capable to effecting worst destructions than Hitler did. Israel must be united, resolute and strong in confronting these threats and challenges. Israel cannot and must not depend on Obama. He is an Antithesis of Nixon in times of war. Israel must be prepared to use its ultimate defense weapon to defend itself.
10. Throw them out of the UN today.
vered ,   israel   (10.09.09)
No other country, not even Nazi Germany, ever publicly threatened another country like they are doing. Israel has never threatened them. Israel has never threatened to wipe them off the planet. But they consistently threaten srael, a country of only 7 million people, a people that should be by all international rights protected. WHERE ARE ALL THE VOICES?
11. #2 DON'T WORRY MARK IRAN IS
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (10.09.09)
Already a "dead man walking" but perhaps does not yet fully understand that fact.I have nothing against Iranian people by the way,it is their regime / leaders which are the problem.Rest assured,Israeli planners and leaders take the threat extremely seriously and are well prepared.Iranian bluster versus Israeli destructive capabilities is no match sir.
12. The Heart of Israel... is it's fresh water supply.
Erastus CoupeDeVille ,   Ong's Hat, NJ USA   (10.09.09)
13.  Its time
Mike Van Harris ,   Antwerp Belgium   (10.09.09)
Well spoken, I belive Israel must dismantel its nuclear wepons . There is no other solution to this matter. If Iran is attacked, I belive Iran will respond in a very good way.
14. #5
Rob ,   UK   (10.09.09)
then go and live there if it's sooo invincible. oh wait, hang on, maybe you prefer to live in 21st century america because moving to iran or anywhere else in the middle east apart from israel would be like moving backwards 1,000 years. you're a hypocrite.
15. Remember Hizbullah
aaron ,   Chicago, USA   (10.09.09)
Israel THOUGHT they could handle Hizb but from the strike on the Israeli warship ship in sea to Bint Jubal the Zionists showed themselves no match for Tehran's SURROGATES. Just imagine what surprises the real Iranian defense forces have in store.
16. ROB............................................#4 AND #14
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (10.09.09)
If it was so easy to do what you state in your #4 talk-back, things would have been different.The fact that that has not happened is an answer for people like you. In your talk-back #14 you seem to have gone off the point altogether.What has Hakim got to do with his residence.Are you trying to tell us that ALL Americans support Israel? You ssek the answer yourself.
17. blow up
mohson   (10.09.09)
Hear t his kameinei and ahmadinejad or jewish sabourjian-if iranian missiles hit heart of israel, theran and qom will be obliterated and the regime of the ayatollahs will be finished. Start packing because soon the persian people will execute the both of you and your advisors for sure.
18. Israeli paranoia
Robert Carey ,   Brisbane, Australia   (10.09.09)
*3 Are you completely stupid? What valid reason do you have for Iran not counter-attacking Israel if Iran is attacked? You demonstrate an unbelievable arrogance in assuming Iran should be punished if attacked. The majority of posters here reflect the dangers Israel poses on world peace.
19. #3: I Have Ben There (Hiroshima)
emanon ,   usa   (10.09.09)
Visiting Hiroshima gives a rational person a reason to pause and consider the effects of a nuclear blast. But that's the problem. Israel is rational while the arab side of the equation only thinks in terms of shaheeds and eliminating as many Jews as possible. They do not care about the side effects if they launch a first nuclear strike against Israel. If Iran launches a nuclear strike and Israel retaliates in kind, Israel could win the battle and lose the war. Look what happens to Israel when it defends itself with conventional weapons. Now imagine the mullahs and imams the world over crowing "We told you so. We warned you about Zionist aggression!". No tears for their dead, only praise as proud shaheeds who died at the hands of Jews. No, Israel could win the battle, but lose the war. Both the battle and the war must not be allowed to take place.
20. EASY! NUKE IRAN! before they attack!
andy ,   orlando,u.s   (10.09.09)
21. the heart
Ilana   (10.09.09)
At least he knows Jerusalem is our heart
22. #19 side line coach, but not very smart
mike1947 ,   Israel   (10.09.09)
Of course, no one wants to see any nuclear war here, but Iran can not be allowed to complete its development of a nuclear bomb which its religious lunatic leaders threaten unequivocally they will use to eliminate the Jewish state. Israel is right in using an aggressive language against such a threat to annihilate us. Once again, the Jews stand alone. We only have ourselves and G-d to protect us. We cannot allow these people to have the bomb. That said, we may strike their nuclear facilities and all I said was if they counter-attack us and cross the line ie.,--chemicals, missiles eyc. , then we will hit them back so hard that they will be defeated. Then we will wait for the UN to condemn us which they will.
23. Yaniv # 8
Harvey ,   London   (10.09.09)
Its true that the Iran /Irak war was fought to a standstill over 9 terrible years. However its important to remember that one unforseen benefit was the massive boost to the plastics industry. I understand they had to work double shifts producing plastic keys so that their 15 year old Shaheed would be able to enter Paradise .LOL
24. AS if G-d woul allow muslum freaks to destroy Israel.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (10.09.09)
25. poker players???
les ,   canada   (10.09.09)
IT IS HIGH TIME TO CALL THE MULLAH'S BLUFF! WE'LL SEE WHO'S HEART WILL BE BLOWN UP......WHAT IDIOTS!!!
26. Israel should nuke iran now!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.09.09)
27.  Mother of all Battles: The Sequel. Popcorn!
The 11th Man ,   London   (10.09.09)
28. to #10
les ,   canada   (10.09.09)
dear vered, there is a very simple answer to your question of: WHERE ARE ALLTHE VOICES? israel should discover 10 billion barrels of oil under the negev, and those "lost" voices would sing the praise of israeL so loud you'll become deaf :))
29. ADVICE TO IRAN
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (10.09.09)
Israel is NOT your problem,unless you make it so.Stay down ,don't cause trouble ,quit while you are ahead of the game and do not complain if you receive the beating of all time.And REMEMBER: Israel and Iran were the best of friends in the 1950s and 1960s.
30. What a polarized article!
Zobcity ,   USA   (10.09.09)
And justifiably so. 1,4,9,10,11,17,22,24 and a few others are well understood about this subject that historically & prophetically are already determined. The rest like 5,8,13,15,29 and a few others are very cross-threaded on the matter in their serpent logic. Iran will not know what hit them if Israel needs to defend them selves. I witnesses hamas get spanked badly as they played the dime store “cheap shot” like the rest of their constituents up North. Israel throttles back intentionally in 2006 yet this one likely will be another Gaza whopping Again! I witnesses the IDF plant the missiles between the bloodshot eyes of the hamas yet the hamas couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn! Good grief Wilbur, are you people ever gonna wake up to the reality of the matter? That Iranian leader is as desperate as they get with a mouth of an alligator on his canary tailend.
