1. Trust the iranians and see your neighbors nuked. There is NO
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (10.22.09)
room for evn a tiny bit of trust with the madmen running
2. Iran still at full throttle on building nukes
DT ,   TA Israel   (10.22.09)
The Israeli officials are completely and totally right. Would anyone in their right mind either believe the IAEA or those there negotiating after the fiasco for years . Who said that the Iranian stopped their nuke program in 2003 ?!
3. Ayatollah Mohammad Baqer Kharrazi :
Ron B. ,   Lod   (10.22.09)
“We are able to produce atomic bombs and we will do that.” Elimination of Israel remains a cornerstone of Islamic Republic ideology. Despite revisionist questioning about whether Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad really promised to “wipe Israel off the map,” both University of North Dakota law professor Gregory S. Gordon and Joshua Teitelbaum, senior research fellow at the Moshe Dayan Center at the University of Tel Aviv, have chronicled well over a dozen recent Iranian statements promising Israel’s destruction. As Teitelbaum notes, “What emerges from a comprehensive analysis of what Ahmadinejad actually said–and how it has been interpreted in Iran–is that the Iranian president was not just calling for ‘regime change’ in Jerusalem, but rather the actual physical destruction of the state of Israel.” THERE IS REASON TO TAKE THE WORST CASE SCENARIO SERIOUSLY.

4. You're kidding me, right?
Hillel 1972 ,   Mountain View CA USA   (10.22.09)
This is the most transparent hoax imaginable. El Baradei brokered a deal that lets the Iranians off the hook and still enables them to build their bomb in secret. Israel will have to fend for itself... again. The gathering storm will not be stopped by Europe or Obama. Maybe France will bless the inevitable unilateral action Israel will have to take, and soon.
5. Qom, Natanz, ...
Shammai Cali ,   Brooklyn, NY USA   (10.22.09)
Don't you think the list of secret installations is longer than the three we know about? It's too late to stop this hurtling rocket. The world has given its assent.
6. They Bought Time
Christy ,   Boston, US   (10.22.09)
Time to do what is the question? The western, and non-western, leaders around the globe *know* what Iran is up to. They keep trying the diplomatic approach, but surely they must know it may not work with Iran's president, because of the president's view of himself. Iran's president seems to have a vision to fulfill. I think he sees himself at the head of a new world - wide Caliphate. We have examples throughout history of men who had a vision of world-wide conquest. If this president decides to fulfill his destiny, will the world act in time to stop him?
7. To: No 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

What a great little squad of cheer leaders you lot are for poor vunerable Israel with its 200-odd undeclared nuclear warheads, most of which are pointing towards Iran. And while Iran stares down the barrels of 200 nuclear warheads it also has to listen, week in and week out, to Israel threatning to attack them and urging the world to attack them. You lot should take a cue from the Israeli government and refrain from making a response, unless you want the rest of the world to think Israel are the real aggressors in the region... Also, Ron B at #3: If it's just more of the same drivel as part 1, could you please spare us parts 2 & 3. Thanks.

First of all, you're lucky to live in such a beautiful country. Secondly, maybe you'd think differently about all of this were Queensland threatening to wipe your lovely islands off the map. It's a different ballgame here, Kiwi and the only thing these Islamists respect is strength. Anyway, I'd much prefer to be in the Chatham's if, G-d forbid, nukes start flying around the ME and Europe.
9. #7 Kiwi,
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (10.22.09)
You deem Ron B's link part 1 drivel? Maybe if you lived in the Tel Aviv area you would find it cause for concern. It's a well researched article and could cure your ostrich syndrome. But, hey, your findings probably stem from not having family in Israel and living 10,000 miles away. Easy to pontificate from there, huh?
10. Nos 8&9: Too far?
K1W1 ,   NZ   (10.23.09)
You seem to make a lot of the fact that I'm "10,000 miles away" in NZ, seem to imply I'm too far removed from the action, so to speak, to have a valid opinion. NZ wasn't too far away to stop France from sending a gang of terrorists to blow up the Rainbow Warrior, Greenpeace's flagship, in Auckland harbour; and not far enough away to stop Israel sending a couple of their secret agents here to steal the identities of dead NZ children and try to set up business fronts for their criminal activities. And not too far away that NZ couldn't empty its towns of men to send to Europe to fight and die in WWI and WWII... Your reasoning is simplistic and inane, and is just one step above saying "If you love Iran so much why don't you go live there?" You seem to be concerned about nuclear missiles flying about the middle east. I assume that's the Israeli's nuclear warheads you're worried about since they're the only ones in the region with that capability - Iran doesn't even have a nuclear bomb, let alone one that can be fitted to and delivered by a long range missile. Don't let the scaremongers (#1-5 et al) frighten you - there will be no missiles flyiing about the middle east, and there will be no attacks by Israel on Iran or by Iran on Israel. As for the rhetoric from Iran: We've been listening to the same rubbish from them for 30 years, and, in spite of Ron B's professors and Israeli reseachers, everyone knows by now it's all just Shi'ite religious hot air and doesn't get in the way of doing business. It's just Iran's mullahs grumbling cause Iran's staring down the barrels of 200-odd nuclear warheads, pointed by a state that has constantly called for the regimes ousting, and is really of less concern to the wider world than even the crazy, idiotic ranting we've been listening to from North Korea for the past 50-60 years. In my opinion, Iran and Israel both deserve each other.

12. #11. You're a joke
K1W1 ,   NZ   (11.06.09)
Nice personal attack, mate (and all in capital letters, too - does that mean you're shouting?). It's just a pity you haven't actually contributed anything... Go back to posting comments YouTube, ball-head.
13. #12.KIWI... IN NEED SELF-DISCIPLINE
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (11.07.09)
YOU LIKE TO DISH IT OUT AND CRTITICISE OTHER YNET POSTERS, BUT IF SOMEONE DOES IT TO YOU........ YOU SHOUT " IT'S NOT FAIR " ! YOU CANNOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS ! COME ON LIL KIWI, GROW UP AND LET GO OF YOUR HANG UPS AND RESENTMENT OF YOUR YOUTH.
14. To: ANGRYMAN bin JACOB
K1W1 ,   NZ   (11.07.09)
Perhaps you could point out where I "dish it out and criticise other ynet posters" where it wasn't a criticisism of their opinion, was just a personal attack. Two postings and you're yet to make a point, just seem to be angry because I have an opinion contrary to other ynet posters. Do you have an opinion of your own on the subject, or are you only capable of pathetic name-calling and verbal abuse?
15. KIWI .. POOR IRAN A VICTIM OF ISRAEL ?... POOR LOGIC !
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (11.08.09)
KIWI TAKES THE SIDE OF IRAN AGAINST ISRAEL AND IS CRITICAL OF ISRAEL AND ISRAEL SUPPORTERS ON THE YNET POSTS. HE IS SARCASTIC AND ANTAGONISTIC TOWARDS ISRAEL YET HE FAILS TO STATE ANY LOGIC OR REAL FACTS TO BACK HIS ASSERTIONS. HE STATES THE FOLLOWING....... " poor vunerable Israel with its 200 nuclear warheads, pointing towards Iran. " HE MAKES THE MURDEROUS IRANIAN REGIME OUT TO BE A POOR VICTIM OF ISRAEL POWER. KIWI SYMPATHISES WITH THE IRANIAN REGIME . HE PORTRAYS IRAN AS MERE INNOCENTS IN RELATION TO ISRAEL'S POWER. IN WORDS AND ATTITUDE HE BACKS THE MURDERERS IN TEHERAN AND TRIES TO MAKE THE CASE OF A POWERFUL ISRAEL AGAINST POOR INNOCENT LITTLE IRAN AS VICTIMS........... HE FURTHER STATES THE FOLLOWING IN HIS ARGUMENT........... " And while Iran stares down the barrels of 200 nuclear warheads it also has to listen, week in and week out," .....KIWI TAKES THE SIDE OF IRAN AGAINST ISRAEL AND IS CRITICAL OF ISRAEL AND ISRAEL SUPPORTERS ON THE YNET POSTS. HE IS SARCASTIC AND ANTAGONISTIC TOWARDS ISRAEL WITHOUT ANY LOGIC OR REAL FACTS TO BACK HIS ASSERTIONS. HE STATES THE FOLLOWING WITH DRIPPING SARCASM............. " poor vunerable Israel with its 200-odd undeclared nuclear warheads, most of which are pointing towards Iran. " HE MAKES THE MURDEROUS IRANIAN REGIME OUT TO BE A POOR VICTIM OF ISRAEL POWER. KIWI SYMPATHISES WITH THE POOR DEFENSELESS IRANIAN REGIME . HE PORTRAYS IRAN AS MERE INNOCENTS IN RELATION TO ISRAEL'S POWER. IN WORDS AND ATTITUDE HE BACKS THE MURDERERS IN TEHERAN AND TRIES TO MAKE THE CASE OF A POWERFUL ISRAEL AGAINST POOR INNOCENT IRANIAN VICTIMS........... HE STATES THE FOLLOWING IN HIS ARGUMENT........... " And while Iran stares down the barrels of 200 nuclear warheads .. Israel threatening to attack them " THREATS TO THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL, WHILE REPEATED MANY TIMES BY IRAN'S RUTHLESS LEADERS, ARE CONVENIENTLY OMITTED OR FORGIVEN BY THIS FELLOW, ISRAEL IN REPLY TO IRAN'S DEADLY THREATS, ONLY THREATENS TO DESTROY THE NUCLEAR MISSILE SITES OF IRAN. AND ISRAEL ........ NEVER.... EVER.... THREATENED TO OBLITERATE IRAN ITSELF, BUT ONLY THE NUCLEAR SITES THAT THE IRANIAN'S LEADERS HAVE THREATENED TO DESTROY ALL OF ISRAEL. POOR IRAN HAS TO LISTEN TO ISRAEL THREATS, HE STATES. HE PURPOSELY OMITS THE REAL AND ACTUAL DANGERS OF THE RADICAL AND CRAZY IRANIAN REGIME. ISRAEL IN REPLY TO IRAN'S DEADLY THREATS, ONLY THREATENS TO DESTROY THE NUCLEAR MISSILE SITES OF IRAN. AND ISRAEL ........ NEVER.... EVER.... THREATENED TO OBLITERATE IRAN ITSELF, BUT ONLY THE NUCLEAR SITES BECAUSE THE IRANIAN'S LEADERS HAVE THREATENED TO DESTROY ALL OF ISRAEL. LOGIC MUST PREVAIL HERE.......... ISRAEL HAVING HUNDREDS OF NUKES HAS NEVER USED THEM TO DESTROY IRAN, OR TO DESTROY ANY COUNTRY. IF ISRAEL HAS THESE NUKES, WHY DID THEY NOT USE THEM AGAINST THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL. ISRAEL HAS NEVER THREATENED TO DESTROY ANOTHER HOSTILE COUNTRY WITH NUKES. IF ISRAEL'S LEADERS THOUGHT LIKE THE IRANIAN RADICALS THINK, THEY WOULD HAVE OR COULD HAVE DESTROYED IRAN ALREADY. KIWI STATES THE FOLLOWING REGARDING ISRAEL'S THREATS TO IRAN .......... " Israel threatning to attack them . " IF ISRAEL WANTED TO DESTROY IRAN WITH NUKES, WHY HAS THIS NOT HAPPENNED ? HAD THE ISRAELI LEADERS BEEN AS HATEFUL AND RUTHLESS AND ILLOGICAL AS IRAN'S LEADERS, THE ISRAELI NUKES WOULD HAVE ALREADY DONE THE JOB. THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ISRAEL'S LOGICAL HUMANE LEADERS VERSUS CRAZIES LIKE IN IRAN. KIWI CANNOT SEE THIS IMPORTANT DISTINCTION. HIS ARGUEMENTS AGAINST ISRAEL HAVE NO MERIT, THEY ARE NOT BASED IN REALITY. THEY ARE FALSE HATEFUL ASSERTIONS THAT KIWI TRIES TO USE AGAINST ISRAEL KIWI ........... YOU LOSE, NO QUESTION HERE !!!
16. Finally, some sense from Angryman.
K1W1 ,   NZ   (11.08.09)
What makes you I'm "taking sides" with Iran? As I said in #10, in my opinion, Iran and Israel deserve each other - they both act like brats in the playground, threatening to beat each other up, threatening to go get their big brother to come and beat the other, trying to tell on each other to the teacher... Really, I think the world should care less about Israel and it's petty conflicts with its neighbours. The world has been listening to the regime in Iran threatening to destroy Israel for 30 years. No one in the real world actually believes that Iran is going to destroy Israel. Who would believe it? Everyone knows that Israel has 200+ nuclear warheads and Iran doesn't even have the technology to make a nuclear weapon, let alone the technology to miniaturise a nuke and put it on a reliable missile. Even Israel's deputy foreign minister, in the last day or so, admitted that Iran is only bluffing. So, no missiles flying out of Iran towards Israel any time soon (in spite of what Israel constantly claims), just more of the same blah blah we've listened to for 30 years. [It always amuses me when people like you, Angryman, come out shouting in capital letters at the slightest criticism of Israel, getting all up in arms that someone might not be on their "side". Haha, keep it up, Angryman. Thanks.]
