MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (02.07.11)
When it comes to Netanyahu or for that matter one of the Israeli leader expresses concern at the growing strength of the Iranian Army.Can someone guide him or put him in the approapriate place where he can use the brains(if he has any,that is)
2. Iran is agood role model for Egypt
tea man ,   marjayoun   (02.07.11)
Egypt in the late fifties was better than both Koreas south and north but because of the theft committed by Mubarak and cronies its worth than north Korea now if they follow the Iran example very quickly they reclaim their wordly position the human resources in Egypt still untapped by in large once happen watch out
3. BIBI: You have said much of that already
Israeli 2   (02.07.11)
in your past lectures. You may even be a prophet whose predictions came true...but you are also the PM of Israel, BIBI!! Act on it.
4. "West has trouble recognizing fanaticism hiding behind...

5. Then make peace with Palestine before its too late
Jack   (02.08.11)
6. Jack - What peace?
Bruriah Sarah   (02.08.11)
Hamas is part of the Muslim Brotherhood. They are not interested in peace. If the MB comes to power, Hamas' position will be strengthened. They could bring down the PA and even if they allow the PA to stand, they will continue on their course to destroy Israel. Israel has to safeguard her interests. The MB will not honor agreements.
7. worldly position
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (02.08.11)
tea man ! have some more tea,Egypt lost it's worldly position a long time ago,when it become muslim,and when it joined the soviet block under nasser,since the fifties Egypt added 50 million people,totaling today more than 80 million,Iran is not a good role model, because unlike Egypt,Iran is rich,and can afford to be fanatic and crazy,how will the islamists in Egypt feed 80 million hungry fanatics ?.
8. End retreat and most of Israel's worst problems will vanish.
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.08.11)
Iran would not pose so great a threat to Israel had we kept Gaza. Nor would a newly radical Egypt threaten Israel had we kept Sinai. The truth is that almost all Israel's most serious problems are direct results of Israeli retreat. End the lunatic policy of Israeli retreat and most of our worst problems will vanish.
9. Obama is behind the suit and tie.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (02.08.11)
We in the United States are figuring out who is pulling the strings of terrorism.
10. Pigs...
Pinhas Bayit ,   Bet HaKerem   (02.08.11)
...could fly! We could wake up from this nightmare of having him as our prime minister again. What a waste of space he is.. and that's not 'he could be', he really is.
11. #4 epropue. does not wanting to be 8 miles wide mean
Yaawqove ,   Israel   (02.08.11)
youre a fanatic? does not wanting to commit suicide, mean youre a fanatic? you have strange judgements on jews #4; if they want to live, they are "fanatic" what does that say about you? you are the fanatic.
12. Then don't do dangerous "Peace" with fake Philistines
Kcaj   (02.08.11)
13. Amen, Mr. Bibi! You tell them, loud and clear!
Bella ,   Texas   (02.08.11)
God bless Egypt and Israel!
14. Actually ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.08.11)
the Iranians don't wear ties. Not sure why; does it have something to do with a rejection of Western dress conventions? Well, the Yemenis sport daggers in their belts. I suppose anything is possible.
15. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.08.11)
Are you serious? Three in four Egyptians cannot read or write. Not much of a human resources pool if you ask me. And I believe you mean "by and large."
16. To: No. 1
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.08.11)
Hate to burst your little bubble, but the Iranian army did not really acquit itself terribly well in the eight years it battled a vastly inferior Iraq. Face it, bubbeleh, Israel will clean your clock. Please don't tempt us. Did not Stuxnet teach you ANYTHING? "Growing strength of the Iranian Army." You are either on drugs or in desperate need of some .....
17. You Must be kidding!!
Al ,   TO   (02.08.11)
"fanaticism hiding behind suit and tie " ... oppressing own people... threaten neighboring countries.. But, This sounds a lot like Isreal!?
18. West has trouble recognizing fanaticism hiding behind suit a
bma ,   usa   (02.08.11)
I do agree with you Mr. Prime Minister. I have you ever looked in the mirror. I think the west see that.
19. MR PM..This is your finest hour..Prime the army to defend
Al   (02.08.11)
the country. Major war is coming. The army must become a coiled serpent ready to pounce and bite. Egypt will fold as will Jordan. Obama will not lift a finger to help Israel.
20. Egypt must make peace with itself
eddie ,   london UK   (02.08.11)
to stop the fighting and chaos, feed the people, give them work, houses; distribute wealth fairly. this is why a democracy must arise in Egypt. When the people see the consequences of their votes affecting the government, they will see that peace and freedom are possible, and that war does not pay.
21. Bibi doesn't think about the future...
Chris.B ,   Australia   (02.08.11)
Netanyahu needs to check his own policies towards supporting oppressive dictators. Iran had a democratically elected leader that wanted self determination for his people and Iranian control of their natural resources. The west wasn’t satisfied with this so the ousted him and installed the Shah. The Iranian revolution was born out of an oppressive dictator being supported by the west to the detriment of the people and the same is true in Egypt. If Bibi really was concerned about extremism he wouldn’t support these tyrants in the first place. The powder keg exploded be thankful it took 30 years.
22. Scaremongering
Ziggy ,   Australia   (02.08.11)
No nation in Europe has anything to fear from Iran. No nation in Europe has ever been threatened by Iran. Iran is not trying to develop nuclear weapons. Just this week, IAEA chief Amano stated that the IAEA has NEVER said that Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons. The IAEA is on the ground in Iran and is monitoring intrusively. Israel is not. Neither is the USA. This ridiculous scaremongering and blatant lying has to stop. Have we forgotten the mythicah WMD in Iraq and the war that killed over 100,000 innocent people because the world fell for the lies from the Americans. Let's not fall for this rubbish about Iran's mythical non-existent nuclear weapons.
23. Suit and Tie
Concerned American ,   USA   (02.08.11)
How ironic is the comment from BIBI, "West has trouble recognizing fanaticism hiding suit and tie" and his picture in this article wearing a suit and tie. You are right BIBI, I couldn't have said it better myself knowing the fanatic laws coming out your government.
24. SarahB failes to remember what the FSA said recently
Bannister ,   US   (02.08.11)
What they confirmed only shows that iran has not be slwon down in regards to its enrichment program. And it was published on YNET. Sure, it might have crippled something..But only a tiny fraction of the iranian nuke program. Comments from people such as sarahB should be looked at with extreme caution. They hardly mean anything useful.
25. @2 We're still waiting for your military adventure
Bannister ,   US   (02.08.11)
A reality SarahB: You have failed for over 10 years to curb iran's nuke program fearing retaliation. And we all know how successfull stuxnet was: Close to nothing. All confirmed by a group of American scientists and your MI chief.
26. Netanyahu: Egypt could follow Iran
split ,   US   (02.08.11)
So, if they wish to - They have put up with your stooge for 30 years ,...
27. Israel want's to make this a global problem
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (02.08.11)
To cover up its failur in stopping iran over the recent years. They think we are as dumb as those yanks who fall for almost everything .
28. You are Wrong and Sitting Idle -
Orao. ,   Srbia.   (02.08.11)
Netanyahu: Egypt could follow Iran Bibi says Egypt may turn into new Iran, radicalize in wake of political upheaval; Comment - -I suggest You Read Your Book the bible about Egypt - Daniel chapter 11 Verses 21 and on, and You will se what befalls Egypt. Further - PM tells European parliamentarians they too are threatened by Tehran's missiles, says West has trouble recognizing fanaticism hiding behind suit and tie Comment - So - what are You doing to stop the Iranian Threath ? Do you think Europe will do it for You ?. It is up to You to do something About it, You are the first on the Way for the Iranian Track, or are you still Tailing Obama and His Farts. Orao.Srbia.
29. The typical yank can't even point out iran on a map
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (02.08.11)
They probably have more informaion about the food they eat than lets say a country shown 24/7 on the media.
30. #2 Iran a good role model, no way
Cynthia ,   USA   (02.08.11)
70% of Iran's population is under 30 and the regime offers no future. Unemployment is estimated at 40% and Iran is isolated and not technologically advanced. The clerics get rich while the people struggle to survive.
