31. Michael Rosenblum @ 25, your sanctimony is misplaced.
leo ,   usa   (01.29.11)
If you'd care to notice everything you named was offered as a measure of retaliation. Do you understand the concept of retaliation? Something tells me you most likely do rather than don't. So, if I am correct, why do you ignore such important detail as retaliation?
32. American tanks and planes need parts
Leon ,   Los Angeles, USA   (01.29.11)
If Egypt will turn radical muslim, US will stop military and food aid. As a result, there will be hunger and unemployment even worse than it is now and as for western-equiped army, all that technology needs parts. without these parts, F16 will be junk in a hurry.
33. TO NO. 1
Daniela   (01.29.11)
so according to what you say you wish the radical islam to rule in all the arab countries only in order to cancel Israel from the map? you are "very" clever!
34. no. 18 to No. 12
Daniela   (01.29.11)
IZL you forgot to mention that Israel was accused of putting a shark in the red sea - Sinai side to kill the tourists of Sinai! Now those sick minds should rule Egypt instead of Mubarak. POOR EGYPT ! Poor Israel that will lose a friend in an area, full of enemies. Shema Israel !
35. Israel Security
Ayham ,   Jordan   (01.29.11)
Israel Security depends on whom lead Eagypt and Jordan
36. No Radical Takeover ?.
Orao. ,   Srbia.   (01.29.11)
Israel fears radical takeover in Egypt Extremist takeover in Egypt would put Israel in ‘wholly different position,’ security official warns Hanan Greenberg Latest Update: 01.29.11, 02:35 / Israel News Comment - According to Daniel Chapter 11 verses 21 and further - The King of Irak/The North, will defeat the King of the South/Saudi-Arabia, by help of Coup by the Southern Kings own House, those who eath at His table - And by the help of Libya and Ethiopia, defeat Egypt. This seems to Contradict any Radical Takeover of Egypt from Within. Orao.Srbia.
37. Bush, Obama plotted to overthrow Mubarak
Arik Silverman ,   Milwaukee USA   (01.29.11)
London Telegraph reports Wikileaks show Bush and then Obama plotted with Egyptian dissidents to overthrow Mubarak. Even if he stays in power things might be very, very different. "On his return to Cairo in December 2008, the activist told US diplomats that an alliance of opposition groups had drawn up a plan to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak and install a democratic government in 2011. . . . The documents released by WikiLeaks reveal US Embassy officials were in regular contact with the activist throughout 2008 and 2009, considering him one of their most reliable sources for information about human rights abuses."
38. @Chaim #5 on keeping Sinai
Arik Silverman ,   Milwaukee USA   (01.29.11)
And just how could Israel hold Sinai against terrorists aided by Egypt? It's a very, very long coast line.
39. thank God there is no 'peace' with Syria
Daniel   (01.29.11)
First the dictatorships must go, once popular rule comes to terms with Israel real peace can be achieved and giving up land is not a threat. But until that time, it is suicide.
40. The majority of the people of Egypt are
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (01.29.11)
the true fans of Mohammad Atta... If these masses will succeed in overtaking Egypt, Israel must take back the Golan... Hussein the wimp Obama will have no leverage to prevent Israel from doing so...
41. #12 Brainless suggestion
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (01.29.11)
And just how do you think that Israel's ceding Judea and Shomron and East Jerusalem will "do something for Egypt". Egypt has no common ground there and certainly no interest and if you think it would appease them, well you're sure as hell wrong, lady. Apart from which Israel has every right in East Jerusalem whearas the Arabs have no historical or legal claim to it whatsoever. It was briefly occupied by Jordan (the true Palestine) from 1948-1967. End of story.
42. It Would Be Great If Israel Was So Worried That
Doug ,   Rochester, USA   (01.29.11)
It caused Israel to re-examine their behavior and begin complying with UNSC resolutions and the 4th Geneva Convention.
43. #35. We cal always use the Aswan Dam option, proposed by
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (01.29.11)
Avigdor Lieberman. So it is rather Egypt security depends on who is Israeli leader.
44. now u r scared, u should stop killing arabs everyday
ivan ,   haifa   (01.29.11)
otherwise is normal arab brotherhood hate you,you can´t kill people for free.
45. Nr 40.
Orao. ,   Srbia.   (01.29.11)
Take back the Sinai you must mean. Well - That seems to be in accord with the Bible anyway. Orap-Srbia.
46. gaza and al quds will be free inshaAllah!
millitantmullah   (01.29.11)
jews will wish they never existed.
47. 46
(01.29.11)
we will show you not in words but with facts that Jerusalem belongs to jews.
48. #42
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (01.29.11)
I think it would be even better if the Palis and Hamas and Hizbollah would stop trying to wipe us out and stop drawing maps of the area in which Israel doesn't even appear. I love it when know-alls who don't even live here (ever been here at all?), try and tell us what to do. look to your own house first.
49. Orao Servia @ # 36
Moragh   (01.29.11)
Just one small correction. The "North" as quoted in the King James version of the Bible (and in most other Bibles) refers to Russia and not Irak or Iran.
50. #40...#45 of course the Sinai...I must grab
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (01.29.11)
some sleep...thank You anyway...!!!!
51. To #3 Yeah Right
Sid ,   London   (01.29.11)
Time to pack up your bags and leave for Poland now I think.
52. To #18
Sid   (01.29.11)
Boring!! Take tour your propaganda along with your bags back to Ukraine or Poland where you came from.
53. Time For Israelis To Reflect On Past And Future Actions
World Citizen   (01.29.11)
It would be wise if all Israelis began to think about their relations with the Palestinians. It is a historical fact that in 1948 the Israeli military forces forced them off their own lands. You are still doing the same thing today. Every day the social and economic conditions for these people become more dire. Shall you continue oppressing these people? Or shall you try to come to a just and equitable peace that might lead to a more stable Middle East? Be honest with yourselves. There will never be peace for Israel if you decide to continue following the former course.
54. # 46 Militant Mullah
themissus   (01.29.11)
I have a wimpsy bitsy feeling that you are going to be eating your own words.
55. Ivan Racist
Igor ,   Moscow   (01.29.11)
Arabs may kill arabs, it does not disturb you, Ivan.Jews may not. Are you racist , my brother ?
56. Nr 49.
Orao. ,   Srbia.   (01.29.11)
Just one small correction. The "North" as quoted in the King James version of the Bible (and in most other Bibles) refers to Russia and not Irak or Iran. Moragh (01.29.11) Comment - Dear Sir - Russia will Never Ever take over Saudi-Arabia, Never Ever take over Egypt with the help of Libya and Ethiopia, Neither will Russia ever have any camp in the holy mountain of Israel, and, Never Ever will Russia hear a Rumor from The North and East Which Frighten Her. If you put Russia into theRecorded Context , You will see that Your Interpretaition is impossible. God bless. Orao.Srbia.
57. rubbish
RONNIE ,   ISRAEL   (01.29.11)
we do not need the sinai back. we have enough beaches here and the last thing we need is another war.
58. aggreed but,,,,
ronnie ,   israel   (01.29.11)
agree with you, but with hizballah in the north, hamas in gaza, syria being controlled by iran, our situation looks very precarious. can we fight a war on all of these fronts. does not look good for us israelis !
59. And the Rockets, Bombs Bursting
Noah Lev ,   hollywoodUSA   (01.29.11)
For reference see Wikipedia as to Israel's might. It has several platforms to deliver hundreds of 1megaton nukes..F15s, F16s, Phantom 2,000, Dolphin Subs, and 12000 miles Jerichos. It can strike over and under the horizon. It has cobalt/neutron bombs against citizens and soldiers (penetrate buildings). Its reserves are about 1m..and thousands more wlll volunteer from abroad (mem one of them). I am skilled in using firearms..and the M-16. as are my friends. Israel is not alone. Right thinking Christians also will get on board to end any thoughts of a caliphate from Morocco to Iran. The protestors are crying liberate Jaffa..next Tel Aviv. Pales are RANTING to liberate all of Jerusalem from the infidels and Zionists. But, the US/Israel and other Muslim states can thwart this.....or, its the end of the Arab world. Whoooosh go the nukes exploding overheard. 1megaton equals 1m lbs of TNT. Hiroshima was 15,000 lbs. Get it!
60. #51 and 52 Sid
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (01.29.11)
You are so, so boring Sid. No-one's going anywhere, got that through your amoebic brain? meanwhile, see how it feels living under islamic law - coming your way soon.
