1. Whos madder - Gaddafi or Ahmadinejad?
Tim ,   Brighton   (02.23.11)
Whos madder - Gaddafi or Ahmadinejad Probably equally mad but Ahmadinejad will have his finger on the nuclear button Would he use it? What are the chances - 10%? 20%? 30% Who would take the chance?
2. "The gaps between the sides are not too big," Peres said.
tom ,   tel aviv   (02.23.11)
# 1: and you're asking "who is madder"...????!!!!!!!!!
3. IRANIAN DANGER TO EUROPE
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (02.23.11)
Mr Peres is right. European governments and EU officials seem to think that Iran is involving itself in Gaza and Lebanon out of some concern for the Gazans and Lebanese.That plays on their sensibilities. What they don't seem capable of seeing is that Iranian missiles installed in Gaza and Lebanon can point in any direction,not only at Israel.If Iran can establish missile bases in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon,it can threaten Europe and North Africa with its medium and long range missiles whether they're nuclear armed or not. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
4. #3 - at one time, there was a Soviet Union danger
seadog1946 ,   Ong's Hat, NJ USA   (02.23.11)
to Europe. Prior to that there was a fascist danger to Europe. Prior to that there was... all those dangers have come and gone... and life still goes on. Shimon is in Spain... he should sit in a sidewalk cafe, enjoy a glass of wine, some tapas, the sight of ravishing women passing in his view... not bearing unfounded warnings.
5. nuclear threat.
cosmopolitist ,   planet earth   (02.23.11)
to hell with all nuclear weapons. no exceptions!
6. EU not buying Peres crap; Israel #1 threat to world security
American ,   USA   (02.23.11)
Majority of EU residents feel that Jewish occupation in Palestine is the number 1 reason for Mideast instability and #1 threat to world's security. Peres can save his lectures for himself, people know what constitutes a threat to them and their security and where those threats are coming from.
7. No sympathy for Europe.
Heather Czerniak ,   Mississauga, Canada   (02.23.11)
They always knew the threat Iran posed to the world with its quest for a nuclear bomb. The hatred exhibited by Islamic extremists toward the rest of the world has more to do with spreading Islam by force than it has to do with Israel. If those two Iranian ships really are carrying weapons, it won't matter who those weapons will be used on. Israel will be prepared. The rest can decide for themselves. But don't blame Israel for the high price of oil, now or ever.
8. Long live IRAN
Palestinian   (02.23.11)

10. Be afraid, be very afraid...
Siedjan ,   Indonesia   (02.23.11)
Peres: Be afraid, be very afraid... Sacrifice your gen.tile children to fight Iran. Sacrifice your children to protect us, the chosen!

Syria...no reaction becuase the world has realized that Israel knows what is up and will act... Iran Israel is coming for you
18. To #15 #16 Split
Marucho ,   Bs.Aires Argentina   (02.23.11)
Split, you should read the article again. Peres warned that when nuclear weapons reach the hands of terror organizations, Iran's satellites, all of Europe's capitals will be under existential threat, So, do you remember what happened in Spain in 2004 and in Great Britain in 2007. Can you imagine what would have happened if those explosions would have been atomic? Peres seems to be quite sensible.
19. 18 ,...
split ,   US   (02.24.11)
Start treating Arabs/Muslims like a human beings a real partner, stop supporting their dictators and most important stop the an unconditional support of little bully you won't have terrorists and nothing to worry about. Tell me something, why it's a OK for Israel to have a nukes and it's not OK for Iran despite that modern Persians have a history of peaceful coexistence with their neighbors.
20. #6 even if Israel wasnt there they would find something else
Douglas ,   London   (02.24.11)
to fight about. What does Israel have to do with Pakistan and India? they're not the best of friends - are they? Iraq? what did Israel have to do with Sadam? Nothing.. Change the record. I wonder one day will the muslim countries that surround Australias north wish to push Australians into the sea. Prob not, as they are not Jews.
21. to 18. re #15 #16. All were EU Government inside jobs.
Fiver Lover   (02.24.11)
It will take more than a few nuclear weapons to take down the mighty unified continent of Europe. Europe includes leading world powers, 1st world armies, world class secret intelligence. Even imagine a war between EU and US which would never happen wouldnt result in winner, just total mess and carnage.
22. Just Lies
Ziggy ,   Australia   (02.24.11)
I am a supporter of Israel, but I am so sick of the deliberate lies and propaganda emanating from Israeli, American and British spokesmen about Iran's alleged nuclear weapons. So far, nobody has produced a scrap of evidence that Iran is developing nuclear weapons. Have we forgotten the mythical WMD in Iraq, that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people on the basis of deliberatel lies? As for Iran threatening Europe, is this a sick joke? We know that the theocracy in Iran are a bunch of medieval loonies, but Iran has not attacked anybody in over 400 years. Anyway, Iran has absolutely no reason to attack any nation in Europe. The fact is that Europe has never been under any sort of threat from Iran and this whole scenario is completely manufactured scare campaign with no basis. There are NO Iranian nuclear weapons. There is NO threat of European attack by Iran. If somebody has evidence of either, I want to see it. Until then, Peres, David Cameron of Britain and Robert Gates of the USA are just liars.
23. You lie!
Persian CAT   (02.25.11)
""Israel supports the strengthening of democracy and peace in the Middle East..." Nothing further from the truth. Israel has been cozy and supporting all despots be it in the ME, Africa or South America. Peres is lies through his teath. What esle does one expect from a notorious war criminal?!
