1. revolution in Iran might be bad for Israel
zionist forever   (02.18.11)
I am not sue it would be beneficial to Israel or the west for the ayatollahs to be toppled. Mousavi is no moderate, he is an oportunist. The Muslim Brotherhood who say nice things that the west would like to hear before the election but afterwards its another matter. He was calling for Iran to develop nukes before the nuclear program itself began, He won't be calling for peace with Israel I am pretty sure of that and he can't risk ending support for Hizbollah if he values his life. The problem will be for Israel that whilst the world is condemning Iran right now and imposing sanctions to try stop them developing nukes. If there is regime Change in Iran even if the nuclear program continues the west will probably say end the sanctions and support the elected moderate. That means turn on Israel. We saw it all after Arafat died when western policy became give unconditional support to the moderate. Revolutions are fine when they are not all happening at once thats when things start going wrong. The west should also not be giving their unconditional support to revolutionaries because then they start turning a blind eye to the problem policies because they want to be seen as supporting democracy.

leo ,   usa   (02.18.11)
claim, then it is good. It means you can deal with this guy if sufficient conditions are created. Besides, how bad can it get anyway.
10. #7 Rami of Nazareth
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.18.11)
It seems to be more like a school of Piranha's, devouring each other in a feeding frenzy for power Let's not forget to blame the Jews for it !!
11. Many similarities in religious agendas
Michael ,   California, USA   (02.18.11)
Iran and Israel are both suffering from the growth in religious power. There is great similarity between ayatollas' and rabbis' agendas. This bestows a grim picture on both countries, but (luckily?!) not as bad as the nuclear threat. Israeli democracy is a great advantage since the system has a built in process and procedures for change in leadership. Actually, Iran is surprising in this respect among the Muslim countries since the elections there are reasonably honest and there is an active opposition. I agree with #1 in not being convinced the current upheaval in Iran is for the better for Israel.
12. Radical Islam and the quest for freedom
Diamond Tom ,   lagos, Nigeria   (02.18.11)
It remains to be seen how the world we cope with the rise of radical Islam.The freedom of people around the world is constantly under the threat of radical Islamic elements .The question is will the quest of freedom sustainable in the face of radical Islam.No religion has got the right to undermine the fundamental and basic right to freedom of expression but Islam does that and goes way with it. WHY.
13. BEN JABO @ 10, piranha are not cannibalistic,

14. #11 Michael, I have yet to hear
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.18.11)
of our Rabbi's or Israel for that matter, wanting to establish a Caliphate There's a vast difference between between us You didn't witness the last Iranian election, neither did I There were constant outcries of election fraud, since the government controlled the ballot boxes and they did all the counting
15. #8 & # 12, watch out...

Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (02.18.11)
We've already had experience of doing this. didn't we cause the shark attack off Sinai?
17. #13 Leo, it doesn't really matter
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.18.11)
Just as long as they consume each other and leave us alone However, on doing a little research I found that they will consume one of their own if it's been injured "Are piranha cannibals? In: Fish, Cannibalism [Edit categories] Yes, if a piranha in a shoal was injured or displayed weakness the others would eat it.

18. end of iranian regime
gandzian   (02.18.11)
soon,the persians will rip the heart out of kameinei, ahmadinejad, larijani and the cursed parliament who wish execution. They will be executed by their own words. load the plane and go to damascus. And think about where you are all going. damascus is not a good idea. The israelis will pick the time and will come avenge you for all the trouble you caused since the shah. as for rafsanjani, don't expect any mercy with your rotten corrupt sermons supporting this medieval decrepit regime of pedohophiles and pimps.
19. #15 Persian Cat
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.18.11)
Islamaphobioa is brought out by the desire to establish a Caliphate and install Sharia Law worldwide It's like being bitten by a rabid dog, the next dog that appears frothing at the mouth is also considered to be a danger Look at AhMADinejad, he's frothing at the mouth, threatening nucelear destruction to his opponents Actually, you can see the entent of Islamic terror, just visit the following site for your edification www.thereligionofpeace.com Terror all over the place !!
20. #14, Almost a Caliphate + Iran in the Media
Michael ,   California, USA   (02.18.11)
"Our" rabbis want a Sanhedrin, Third Temple, want to be above the State law. Is this far from a Caliphate? With religion and State not separated, Israel provides a "lenient" Caliphate image to many, but you and I disagree with them, of course. In the U.S., we did have a lot of news from the last elections in Iran. There were correspondents stationed in Iran from AP, CNN, BBC and other European and American networks with quite a free hand to report back. Local networks here reported extensively from central sources. Also, through Internet, many freelancers posted independently. The Opposition had quite a lot of exposure here, as well as the Iranian government trying to get re-elected. True, the impression we got was that Iran wasn't resembling ours here or Israeli elections, and Jimmy Carter wasn't invited to oversee, but I suspect you really would not want Jimmy Carter in Iran, would you? They had riots there and police action that included killings, which were widely condemned in the media; under these circumstances no orderly process was possible, objectively.
21. #200 Michael - Sanhedrin is local
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.18.11)
Caliphate would impose Sharia on the entire world Carter is an old man, he didn't function when he was younger, he was a total failure as President Local networks saw exactly what the Iranian government wanted them to see, no more and no less
22. Go watch the Iranian ships
IRAN#1   (02.18.11)
You might learn a few things :)
23. #21, Be sure, it will not impose Sharia on California.
Michael ,   California, USA   (02.18.11)
24. Nr 15.
Orao. ,   Srbia.   (02.18.11)
You has shown ignorense before in regard to Islam. Shia and Sunni is not in harmony but Death Enemies. Further - An answer to you Request - Whom will destroy the Shia-Al-Mahdi and Shia Islam ? - Answer - an Ally to Iran will. Read sura 18 about Gog and Magog. Du al-Qarnain/The Two Horned One, Yemen and Saudi-Arabia, will survive Shia-Islam. Iran will loose the Flower of its Population, sacrificed on the Altar of a lost cause. Orao.Srbia.
25. #21 Michael - only two things are certain
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.18.11)
Death & Taxes They already have Sharia in England, why wouldn't they not try to impose it in the USA ? You know that Mosque that they're trying to build where the Old World Trade Center was, one of the proppnents for the Mosque is a firm believer in Sharia A bit of educaiton might just do you a bit of good, go to this site and get educated, you lack a lot of knowledge www.theregligionofpeace.com
26.  #22 IRAN #1 BS
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (02.19.11)
Watch what? Couple of old boats wasting time, media and useless attention? No matter how much tarsh talk you put here, it will not change a thing. Jews will be in Israel and will prosper wherever they are, and always be 10 steps ahead of others. We'll win anywhere we go. You should worry about your life and learn things from us. Much samrter people than you have tried and they keep failing all the time. Even in Iran, we were always wealthier and more educated. Let's see who gets teh last laugh.
27. #22 Wake-Up Call for Arab World & Beyond
Cynthia ,   USA   (02.19.11)
The Iranian Regime deems anyone who opposes their rule an enemy worthy of execution. They start with their own people. The ships are a provocation to see what they can get away with and to create a diversion from domestic problems in Iran. Last year they promised to send a flotilla but chickened out.
