1. This is the problem with translating from Arabic, to French,
lara ,   Australia   (07.03.10)
to Hebrew, to English. Everything gets lost in translation. I have noticed this alot. What gets said in Arabic is far from the correct translation and loses its original context and meaning because there is no equivilant word in english and many words have dual meanings and are dependant on the context in which they are said.
2. King Abdullah WOULD NEVER HAVE SAID THAT, HE INITIATED THE..
SINGER ,   SINGAPORE   (07.03.10)
ARAB PEACE PLAN, HE WANTS PEACE IN THE REGION.
3. The world would souch better without those 2 danger nations
Saloum ,   US   (07.03.10)
4. Let Iran and Israel obliterate each other
Tim ,   America   (07.03.10)
5. Israel was supposed to be in Uganda not in Palestine
Jack. A   (07.03.10)
6. Saudi should not Exist; nor his Regime
Sami ,   New York, USA   (07.03.10)
Saudi should not exist. It should be split into Sunni / Shia States. His dictatorial regime are Thieves.
7. This is precisely why the Muslim-Arabs refuse to: 1) Accept
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (07.03.10)
Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people. 2) Accept a pace treaty as the "end of the conflict". They have attempted to wipe Israel off the face of earth a number of times through full-scale wars. They attempted to do so through the setting up of the PLO and the PLA, both of which have failed to do so. They are attempting to do so in stages at this very moment. Some, Mr. B.H.Obama included, has fallen into the trap of the Muslim-Arab leadership. But Israel and the Jewish people must stand firm and demand that unless the Muslim-Arab world accept Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as the nation-state of the Jewish people, and accept a peace treaty as the "END of the conflict", no peace treaty is forthcoming, none what-so-ever.
8. # 1 If you understand it, please translate for us.
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (07.03.10)
But I was under the impression that it was alright to lie for Allah! so we never know what to beileve.
9. What's one more lie...
Linichka ,   Gdynia, Poland   (07.03.10)
Of course the fat bastard with the tablecloth on his head said it. And Singer, his fabled Arab peace plan is worth its weight in camel dung.
10. Should a country be owned by and named after a family exist?
Ehud   (07.03.10)
11. lost in translation
Lisa   (07.03.10)
hardly anything is read in the original language anymore- and most media releases go through 3 translations or more- no wonder we don't understand each other anymore. Between what is said, what is heard and what is written is a world of difference.
12. Which one would exsist if oil was $2 per barrel?
Potash Katiftof ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (07.03.10)
If the demand for oil dropped by about 3% to 5%, the price would drop by about 80%-95%. If that was the case, which of those two countries would cease to exist? How would Iran or even Saudi Arabia do without their oil revenue?
13. Iran and KSA aren't friends
Walter Lebowski ,   Sydney, Australia   (07.03.10)
A visit to Iranian government cultural centres has almost as much anti-Wahabbi/Saudi material as anti-zionist material.
14. If Saudi Arabia disappeared.....
David ,   Hartford USA   (07.03.10)
and oil went back to $10 a barrel, the world economy would take off and everyone who wanted a job would have one. If any country in the world deserves to disappear, it's the mistake called Saudi Arabia. Maybe Iran's missiles will 'overshoot' Israel and destroy Saudi Arabia! Then Iran would become the savior of the world! What a twist of fate! The House of Saud is a house of cards, waiting to be blown over.

Resistor   (07.03.10)
That will never happen. Most Israelis are jealous of oil bearing countries.
16. Iran might own and subjugate Abdullah and his Wahhabis
Steve   (07.03.10)
King Abdullah is looking to Obama, this thin reed, to deal with Iran's nuclear program. He has enough intelligence to know that sanctions are worthless. For his part, Obama will not lift a finger to help Abdullah. Like Neville Chamberlain (dealt with the Third Reich) Obama is seeking to appease Iran's apocalyptic mullahs. Shi'ite Iran would like nothing more than to subjugate and enslave their hated Sunni neighbor, the Saudis. Abdullah knows one day he and his family might be serving their Iranian masters. He also knows Israel is the only nation capable and / or willing to confront a nascent nuclear Iran - Israel may be the Saudis best hope - and now Abdullah says Israel does not deserve to exist?
17. The Persian
The Persian ,   Persia   (07.03.10)
If it was not for Persians, this idiot would have been chasing rats in the desert to this day. Oh yeah, only British agent, the rats like you deserve to exist. It is high time, Israel and Iran got together, like Cyrus and his Bride Esther did. You know her Tomb, is still a shrine, where Iranians, Muslim or Jew, go for pilgrimage. If only Israel, dropped this European trait, the desire to dominate, we could get together, Imagine Netanyahu and Ahmadi-mad holding hands, and screw the idiots like him. You may hate Ahmadi-mad all you want, the propaganda and demonization goes on, but you can not, and can not show one instance of a Jew, a synagogue, a Jewish cemetery ever attacked, desecrated in Iran. We have loved them, not because they are Jews or non-Jews, but because they are part and parcel of us, of me, of them, they are representative of our culture. We would not be what we are without our Jews, nor could they ever be what they are without us. Without us, they would be Ethiopian or Ashkenazi. If only, Israel could drop this European mentality of domination. Doubt it could ever happen.
18. No state deserves to exist.
Noor ,   Palestine   (07.03.10)
Especially Saudi Arabia and its wicked policies.
19. To 15 You are absolutely correct
The Dude   (07.03.10)
With our jade green jealous faces, we should do the obvious action. Declare our interest to be come the world leader in alternative energy sources. We should create new research centers akin to the Max Plank Institutes in Germany. We could call them them the Albert Einstein Centers for Excellence. With each one located in a different city in Israel to create more jobs and each one focused on different research avenues. Such as one in Haifa on using computing power more efficiently and effectively, Ashdod for the creation of Algal based biofuels, Be'er Sheva for solar energy focus, and many more than I could think of. Then give adjunct and new appointments of Group leadership and Research associates to the best of the Israeli academia to focus on developing these new technologies for immediate real world use! And show that it is feasible that within 5 years an advanced industrialized nation can dramatically reduce it's oil dependency. Such that other nations can easily follow suit. What would you say to that if Israel did this?
20. Wasnt Saudia Arabia among them
Jackie ,   Florida   (07.03.10)
As I recall, there was an outcry at the UN after approval of partition of the small remainder of the Palestine Mandate (after TransJordan had been formed) All the Arab delegates screamed they would throw the Jews into the sea and, as I recall, there were delegates from Saudi Arabia present.
21. Dude @19
Resistor   (07.03.10)
Dude, I would say Bravo! I am all for non-polluting, renewable green energy. Bring it on, hey Dude!
22. To #17 LOL
Johnny ,   Nazareth   (07.03.10)
Was this supposed to be a joke?? lol
23. Saudi King wants to wipe out Iran and Israel
Son of Cyrus ,   Tehran, Iran   (07.03.10)
Anything west of the Euphrates belongs to Israel and anything to the East to Iran. Hejaz (the real name of Saudi Arabia) should be divided into two parts as well, just cut down in the middle between Israel and Iran.
24. Saudi is the crux of many problems.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (07.03.10)
Their wealth and manipulation knows no bounds. They have the US and most of the world in their back pocket and everyone wants to cozy up to them because they spread their largesse wisely to get the maximum for their Islamic currency. They encourage extremism and build institutions that spread their brand of radical Islam. In total, Saudi is a destructive force because it has the façade of reasonableness with very dark intentions at its core as explained at : http://xrl.us/bedipc

why should a genius people (the jewish israelis) be jealous of a country that has nothing except oil??? look what the genius israelis did in their country and economy without an ounce of oil!!!! that is what sustains a country. not a couple of oil barrels whpse wells will eventually dry up. and then what??? what have the saudis acheived and will acheive once the oil is gone or once the world finds other alternatives to oil??? what will sustain them then??? israel on the other hand is a fully developed nation, economically better than europe and even saudi arabia by sheer brain power, ingenuity and productivity. what has saudi arabia contributed to the world that is valuable compared to the acheivements of jews in israel??? these sustain a country, not oil. because when oil isgone, the saudis are also gone. however, israel economy is so sound and so great that it is the saudis that must be jealous, not the israelis. saudi arabia is built on a house of cards with one product to their name. once this product is exchanged for a better and more clean alternative, saudi arabia wqill go back to being the sand flees which they always were before the founding of oil on their soil. a country's future can never be based on just one product. you can't put all your eggs in just one basket. when you look at how many eggs and how many baskets israel has and acheived and gave the world, you will understand that diversity is the name of the game, not one barrel of oil only. my friend, it is the other way around. it is the arab umma including the saudis that are jealous of israel's acomplishments that despite all their hate for israel, all their wars against israel, it survived and became an oecd memeber (none of the arab nations including saudi arabia is an oecd member). it is that arab muslim jealousy that inflames their hate towards the jews that despite all their hate and wars, israel survived, prospered and acheived economic and financial gains unseen in the arab world. hameed aboughaze, iranian
26. Let soudia Arabia, UK and US deal with Iran
(07.03.10)

27. what does cousin bin laden say?
VanGogh ,   Texas, USA   (07.03.10)

28. REPLY TO # 5
LARRY ,   USA   (07.03.10)
THE UNITED STATES WERE 13 STATES AFTER THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION TELL THE WORLD HOW IT EXPANDED BRAIN CHILD.
29. Chutzpah!
Barney ,   USA   (07.03.10)

30. No 17
The Persian ,   Iran   (07.03.10)
No this was not supposed to be a joke, except for a small mided idiot like you. The idiots like who have no sense of history, with Hitler being their God and Guru, for they feed off of him. You moron, get some education, get out of the rat hole you live in, travel, read, go to Iran. May be you will get over the brain washing propaganda, get a life and may be then, and only then u will see the reality. Before, the Eurpoeans like you became Jews, we had loved, cared for and married the Jews. Back then, when we and the Jews were lovers, by European Evolutionary theories, You and the likes of GW Bush were hanging from trees by your tail.
