1. Simply dreadful
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.11.11)
Oh, my. I wonder -- are the same people who ridiculed Israel for being able to put out wildfires that burned out of control also planning to crawl out from under their rocks and ridicule Japan for being unable to combat the fires that are burning out of control? Just askin'.
2. Riskier than bomb threat: Danger of ME nuclear power plants
Marcella   (03.11.11)
Iran is in an earthquake zone. The chances of radioactive contamination are much greater from a damaged or mismanaged nuclear power plant than from a bomb directed at Israel. And nuclear power plants continue to proliferate all over the world. It's insane! Japan just announced that it's releasing radioactive vapor into the air from one of their damaged nuclear power plants.

Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (03.11.11)
A 13 foot wave cause so much damage? I had to explain to him...because he so young...that it wasn't your ordinary wave, but a wall of water that may have been 1,2 even 5 miles wide. That it traveled faster than a normal wave. It was sad for him, he wanted to send his old toys there for the kids. It reminded me , the great thing about kids is their innate goodness. When they haven't had the time to be poisoned by all the ugliness in the world, I envy that feeling.

universalist ,   the universe   (03.11.11)
it is said that every comparison goes lame. this comparison the forest-fire-disaster which happened in "israel" and the earthquake and tsunami-disaster of japan (11th of march 2011.) are two different kinds of diasters. nobody is guilty/responsible to a natural disaster. to a disaster caused by people for instance an (armed) conflict/(civil)war etc. there are (some) people guilty/responsible of it. there are perpetrators of it. to ridicule somebody/people/a country/countries for natural disasters is foolish/senseless. i sympathize with the innocent victims (of disasters). not only the people of a certain country/countries has been hit. the entire mankind has been hit by a/the disaster(s). we have been born and live in the same world/on the same planet . we all breath the same air. we get (sun)light from the same sun/star. we all are dependant of it. no country can be autarkic. we all are dependant from eachother in the world/global community/society for the continued existence and survival of mankind and other life everywhere and always.

Time to call out our number one hasbara...IDF medi teams:) God speed chevre. XOXO Japan Sending lots of LOVE How many Israelis there??? Usually they say right away.
11. Nine dead and now hundreds dead?
michael redbourn ,   Arad - Israel   (03.11.11)
Why don't journalists just say "The number of dead is unknown, but is expected to be very high". Headlines similar to "nine" an "hundreds" dead, just make so called journalists looks foolish. Obviously the death toll is going to be in the tens if not hundreds of thousands.
12. Japan is a great country and people
Avner ,   Tel Aviv   (03.11.11)
We prey the death toll doesn't rise, and the country can recover.

Rivkah   (03.12.11)
then a half mile high water spout, then the earthquakes are being caused by underwater nuclear explosions like the earthquake and tsunami in 2004 off Banah Asah, Indonesia. Two weeks before that one, Putin of Russia said Russia would not be limited on its war on terrorism At that time Al Qaida headquarters were at Banah, Asah, Indonesia. Is Russia nuking Japan offshore? The ELS Bible codes at www.warningusa.org indicate Obama is nuking Japan (using Russian nukes and the Russian military) and will nuke US cities to declare martial law. If Obama is killed during a national emergency, under P.D.D. 25, power goes to the UN SECGEN instead of the Vice President. Bill Clinton is the Undersecretary of the U.N. for the United States and would be back in power and US cities will be nukes when the UN gets control of US nukes. The UN will then nuke cities all over the world as blackmail to form a one world government that is the most tyrannical government in world history. Bill Clinton has a Hebrew Gematria of 666 as does his wife if you watch the 1994 Atlanta Prophecy Conference speech by J.R. Church called, "Tickling the Tail of the Dragon". I don't think Obama is using US nukes to hit Japan, but his ties to Russia are pretty thick, as are his ties to China and the ELS Bible codes blame Obama for the nuking of Japan.
16. Simply dreadful Yes..And Israel as usual at the for front?
Stephen ,   Albany NY   (03.11.11)
At the fore front..to assist ...But not enough ...there should be immediate action from more countries..Tghe Japanese Govt seems it doesn't want an avalanche of help..Could it be pride,or security concerns...Whatever the reason,heartfelt condolences to the injured,bereaved. It is spreading like wild fire(in effect it is one)..Going as far off ,Philipins, may even go to Autralia..and onwards to the USA as well. p/s Sarah no need now..
17. It is so sad
Yossef   (03.12.11)
I'm so sad, desperately sad.
18. Focus of concentration
Ypip ,   Canada   (03.12.11)
Whatever is done becomes undone _/\_
19. #16 no- it is not pride-it is common sense
(03.12.11)
''Tghe Japanese Govt seems it doesn't want an avalanche of help..Could it be pride,or security concerns'' Accepting search teams from the 45 different countries which offered them would cause more problems than it would solve. Japan has officially accepted search teams only from Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and the US.
20. Surprised Ahmadinejad hasn't blamed Israel
Titus ,   Athens, Greece   (03.12.11)
yet for the earthquake , the tsunami and the chaos.
21. To Rivkah ...The reason is not because of Russia
James T ,   U.S.A   (03.12.11)
Russia nuking Japan although this tsunami and very powerful earth quake happened now. Remember Krakatoa? Just decided to look it up, to refresh my memory. Krakatoa (Indonesian: Krakatau), is a volcanic island made of a'a lava[2] in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. The name is used for the island group, the main island (also called Rakata), and the volcano as a whole. The island exploded in 1883, killing approximately 40,000 people, although some estimates put the death toll much higher. The explosion is still considered to be the loudest sound ever heard in modern history, with reports of it being heard nearly 3,000 miles (4,828 km) from its point of origin. The shock wave from the explosion was recorded on barographs around the globe. This is how the globe changes that has nothing to do with nuclear usage. Rivkah dear.. why change the subject we are all aware of in respect of Obama. Best think of the suffering of the japanese people. At least for now. Here it is:
22. @15
revenger ,   Tromso-Norway   (03.12.11)
Please, please,please tell me what are you smoking? Japanese are great folk, and they will overcome this. God bless them!
23. 22 Norway: I do not smoke. Growing up with smoking
Rivkah   (03.12.11)
parents that yellowed the walls and their teeth and fingers was enough damage to my lungs to prevent me from wanting to imitate that. This is not the worst Japan will face. If you look at earth changes maps like in Edgar Cayce's book "Earth Changes", you will see Japan and the Philippines and many places will be completely submerged under oceans. March 15, September 26 and November 22 are days that are possible dates of the Pole Shift Reversal when the earth staggers like a drunk man and flips so that the sunrise is then in the West as it was before this happened 3600 years ago. It is possible that the lining up of planets and the sun and Nibiru (Orchus to NASA, Planet X, Comet Elinen) is causing earthquakes and tsunamis, etc. But the ELS Bible code matrix's at www.warning usa.org say it is Obama who is nuking Japan. I can't imagine he would use US nukes, so it is more likely that Russia or China is supplying the nukes to attack Japan. Obama is a communist and Muslim in the codes, so naturally Russia and/or China would be in cahoots with Obama. YHWH does not see the Japanese as you do since most are ancestor worshippers instead of YHWH worshippers. They are not in YHWH's camp, in other words. That is incredibly sad, but few people are in YHWH's camp.
24. 21 James T., USA: Earthquakes can be triggered by nuclear
Rivkah   (03.12.11)
blasts under the ocean floor and by HAARP over the horizon electromagnetic weapons and by the 3600 year passby of Orchus (NASA's term) also called Planet-X, Nibiru, Comet Elinen when it aligns with the planets and our sun with the north pole of Orchus aligning with the South Pole of the Earth. This also causes a Pole Shift Reversal...the Earth flips upside down and it is going to be quite a ride. That is expected to happen on March 15, 2011 or September 26, 2011 or most likely on November 22, 2011 when the alignments happen. The ELS Bible codes matrix's at www.warningusa.org bring up the possiblity of nuclear explosions causing the earthquakes in Japan because it says Obama nukes Japan. That is from YHWH. You don't want to consider that. There is another possible cause of the earthquakes and that is the exploration techniques for oil. The Japanese people are mostly outside of YHWH's camp. They are mostly ancestor worshippers, not YHWH worshippers. That is incredibly sad but I don't know what to do about it. I personally would not help such people because II Chronicles 19:2 warns that if you help people who hate YHWH you bring a curse on yourself. If you help people who love YHWH you bring a blessing on yourself. I prefer blessing to curse so I will not help people who are outside YHWH's camp.
25. @Rivkah
revenger ,   Tromso-Norway   (03.12.11)
No, you are not on any kind of smoke.....you are just mentaly disturbed, troll, or Salma got the help? However, God bless Japan people, they ere Gods people like all the rest of us. My prayers this night go for them.
26. Rivkah, Stop please.
Yossef   (03.12.11)
It is so stupid, what you say. Stop with this nonsense. You are an embarrassment.
27. 25&26 Norway & Yossef: You are both not as well read
Rivkah   (03.12.11)
as I am or you would be concerned about as many possible factors in the quakes as I am. You say the people of Japan are God's people. Obviously, you are not aware there are few people who worship YHWH in Japan. Most are ancestor worshippers (Shinto) or Buddhists. YHWH revealed Himself to Buddha, but Buddha turned down the call to worship YHWH, perferring to be a god himself. Confucius, the same. So because of those two apostates, much of China and Japan do not worship YHWH since those are the two who would have been most blessed by YHWH had they heeded the call. It is very sad for people to suffer and die and their souls go to hell, but I don't know what to do about that. Calling people is YHWH's domain, as is choosing them. He does not choose many in the Oriental or Muslim countries or in most other countries. As far as helping people who hate YHWH, that would bring a curse on me and I prefer to help people who love YHWH so that I am blessed by helping. II Chronicles 19:2 makes that clear: help the ungodly and it will be a curse for you. Who are the ungodly? Those who hate YHWH.
28. 25&26 Norway & Yossef: The most helping peoples in the world
Rivkah   (03.12.11)
are the most hated: America and Israel. Why? Because they help the ungodly and people who hate YHWH instead of being discerning.
29. 25&26 Norway & Yossef: Have you noticed the rescuers are
Rivkah   (03.12.11)
mostly American soldiers carrying the Japanese? Japan is not even helping their own, preferring for the American they hate to do that. There are reasons this could be an attack as described in the ELS Bible codes at www.warningusa.org . Japan and China are waging economic war on America and trying to destroy the US currency by buying and then dumping stocks and treasury bonds on the market to devalue the dollar and China is asking for a new world reserve currency.
30. To: No. 27
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.12.11)
Let me say it more plainly: STFU. It is evident to all of us that the literature in which you profess to be "well-read" is speculative nonsense. Just shut up and go away. You are embarrassing yourself. Go out and proselytize to farm animals or something; your "contributions" on YNet threads are outlandish and annoying.
