3. News travels fast!
sk ,   USA   (04.01.11)
I live in the US and got a text msg from a friend in TA seconds after the "earthquake" but all indications show it to be a tremor not an earthquake. Many tremors are good for relieving stresses and avoiding energy buildup.
4. eartquake
realist ,   world/planet earth   (04.01.11)
i hope that there are no victims and that everybody and everything is okay.
5. Turn to GOD for Protection

Israel should turn to the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob-the GOD of the Bible-the Creator of the Heavens and Universe for protection.

12. God's track record
shrinkDave ,   Miami   (04.01.11)
Considering God's record of protecting Jews from chaos, death and destruction (of course, because Jews didn't pray enough) I would suggest that Jews look elsewhere for protection.
13. #1 mostly felt in the north of Israel
observer ,   Egypt   (04.01.11)
do you believe that G-d is so ignorant that He cannot differentiate Kingdom of Israel from Judea and Gaza. that is absolutely insulting to to G-d; blasphemy. REPENT!
14. #2 are you boy or girl?
observer ,   Egypt   (04.01.11)

Is everyone ok?
16. Iraklio isn't just a town on Crete...
El Greco's nephew ,   Toledo   (04.01.11)
it is the Capital of Crete... Iraklio = Heraklion really Israelis are so cosmopolitian that they are totally and completely provincial!
17. Earthquake in Israel

20. #9 either you are not in Egypt or have callus skin

All Egypt felt the tremor and was even more shaking amid Al-Tahreer protest.
21. Hope it will swallow up Gaza
Gary   (04.01.11)
22. That's God pissed at the moronic rabbis' statements!
tom ,   tel aviv   (04.01.11)
23. we need to change building codes
zionist forever   (04.01.11)
I am not sure there is such thing as a building built in this country that can withstand an earthquake of any considerable magnitude. Lets change building codes stopping this stupid idea of building on stilts rather than having fully enclosed buildings which are stronger. All new builds should be built to a certain standard and buildings and older buildings with a certain number of stories should be strenghened. Dimona & Sorek nuclear reactors must be earthquake proofed. Israel cannot afford a nuclear accident on any scale and both the reactors were built in the 50s so need some serious investment. This country is due a major earthquake sometime soon and we must be ready for it.
24. no. 20, you are not in Egypt either
(04.01.11)
if you were, you would be in Tahrir Square calling for lynching of politicians or concerned with the civil war in Libya that will soon spill into Egypt, instead of being obsessed so much with Israel until you Arabs get rid of this chip on your shoulder you will never be free, democratic and prosperous like Israel

steve ,   isreal   (04.01.11)
The only message he is sending is that you crazy right wing Xenophobes should begin treating your fellow Real Estate neigbours properly and civilly. The message is FOR YOU
26. #8 its armageddon is coming
deutronomy 28 ,   world   (04.01.11)
the messiah has come and gone and he will come back in armageddon (judgement day) to punich evil people from all nations including israel, the messiah is not racist, he didnt come for the jews only, open up your brain already lol
27. # 12 totally agree
deutronomy 28 ,   world   (04.01.11)
history have definitly shown that god has not been on israel's side for tousands of years so yes israel should look elsewhere for protection but it will be in vain as god has stated numerous times...
28. I know why
Yenkel ,   Benei Brak   (04.01.11)
My uncle Amihai fell his driving test this afternoon because the tester what probably eating pork and going out with a shiksa so G-d is not happy and is sending a message and the message is loud and clear, repent and give my uncle his licence
29. Not to worry....
Marco ,   Spain   (04.01.11)
Its not an earthquake, its Hezbollah trying out its new long range surface to surface missiles....
30. Earthquake
Natalie Wood ,   Karmiel   (04.01.11)
I was amazed to learn about the 'quake so close to us in Safed/Nahariya. Here in Karmiel, we didn't feel - or know a thing. As there've been no reported injuries, let's hope there's been little or no damage to property. Funnily enough, at home we looked at today's unusually milky sky and thought we'd be in for a desert storm of sorts - it must have been the quake brewing. Meanwhile, It's been said a hundred times since our aliya 12 months ago that Israel is long overdue for an earthquake and that here in the north, we're directly on the fault line. I just hope with a big hope that it's not a precursor to something much worse. With best wishes for a safe and stable Shabbat to all.
