61. #50. The WW II Allies certanly defeated terror.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.08.11)
#50. You say, "nobody can defeat terror". Terror can certainly be defeated. The WW II Allies certainly defeated terror. To defeat terror, you must pound the enemy till they surrender unconditionally or are destroyed. It take grit and determination but it is certainly possible. Terror can only be defeated by determined military action and victory.
62. Israel's Next War
Ron Thompson ,   New York, U.S.A.   (04.08.11)
Amen! Yahweh will see to it.
63. That "someone" is Lucifer
pavel Pospichal ,   brno   (04.08.11)
Chazarstan is not israel which does not exists for 2000 years. Stolen Palestinian land is not israel,and the invaders are Turko- Mongol crossbreeds mixed with Avars and Huns - are Asiatic hordes of mass murderers This is the TRUTH !!!
64. Israel's Next War
David ,   Tulsa-US   (04.08.11)
Psalms: 83 Arabs lose completly. Israel wins this war and gains much more land and resources. God is on your side, as He has always been. Bless you Israel!
65. Not Gog & Magog
David ,   Tulsa-USA   (04.08.11)
This war will be as outlined in Psalms 83. The result gives Israel secure borders; a requirement for the war of Gog Magog.
66. #61 Chaim, no you can't ever defeat terror
Howard K   (04.08.11)
There's a hundred new potential terrorists being born every minute. Many more are being trained right at this moment. You can't defeat them but you can make Israel stronger and one way to do it is to annex the land. That's where the land for peace crowd is wrong. What will they do when they run out of land to pacify the enemy?
67. Defense
Diane ,   USA   (04.08.11)
The writer is very accurate based on history to date. Israel knows how to defend herself- Damascus will be no more in 1 day, 5/6 of the invasion force will be killed. God, the creator of the universe promises to fight for her just as he has in all the prior wars. As God predicted, the whole world would be against her. Serious times are in store for Israel- actually the whole world, for their treatment of Israel. But man can't fight against God and win. End of story.
68. #16 - God predicted
Diane ,   USA   (04.08.11)
history in advance. He told us the world would be against Israel and that He would fight for her. Let the world comes against Israel to its own demise. Israel will survive.
69. Well, let'see
Moragh   (04.08.11)
if they can outdo the Lord when they try their antics on Israel. I doubt that the Lord will encourage the muzzies to take the very precious gift He gave to his chosen children (the Jews) of course, what did you think... arabs... don't be silly. Read the Bible.
70. Ben Jabo, ready or not, here they come. Do something quickly
Michael ,   California, USA   (04.08.11)
71. #38 Dovid
solomon ,   bklyn   (04.08.11)
What "occupation"? Israel withdrew from Gaza, remember? "Fool me once, shame on you; Fool me twice, shame on me." Read some history, as well as both Hamas and PA Charters. Read Hezbollah's as well to round out your education.
72. #66 Howard. Annex our land and defeat terror.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.08.11)
#66 Howard. I agree with you 100% that Israel should annex all our land and commit to never making another retreat. Meaning, if our enemies force us into another defensive war, any land we liberate is ours forever. However, it is not an either/or situation. Israel needs to pound the terrorist groups including the P.A., Fatah and Hamas to unconditonal surrender or destroy them also.
73. #70. We await another empty "Palestinian" proclamation.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.08.11)
#70. It's not as if "Palestinians" haven't declared statehood in the past. They have. We await another empty "Palestinian" proclamation in September. Meawhile, Judea and Samaria become stronger and more vibrant every day. I wonder if "Palestinians" will bother to proclaim statehood again after the debacle which awaits them in September. It would become a running gag.
74. States Won't Have to Attack Israel
Serious WOrld Citize ,   The World   (04.08.11)
What an unbelievably moronic point of view. Obviously your world is not here on this planet. Sure get sick of those that are sick!
75. Next War - we are already in world war three
Jason Alster ,   USA /Israel   (04.09.11)
wake up and smell the coffee. Where do you think USA troops and NATO troops are now? In Israel? or in three other Islamic countries. It is the Arab countries imploding because they did not make peace with Israel and the west.
76. I'll be there
Moshe   (04.09.11)
If such a scenario happens -- and i hope it won't -- i will come defend my homeland with lethal force.
77. war to come
Count Dracula ,   Los Angeles   (04.09.11)
Some time the talkback notes are way way over the top. Number 30 has Israel, in a single day, shutting down Europe. This attitude will be the ultimate downfall of Israel. Israel is a small power in the world, unable to project power much beyond its own country. #30, you would do well to study what force can be brought against Israel. The US could take out the IAF capability in about 30 minutes, Imagine a US Navy battle group just over the horizon. Your small country could be overrun in hours. The only hope for serious damage by Israel is with a super secret attack, which only works once, and is unlikely to be better than 40 to 50% successful. Not a good option. After that Israel will be lucky to be able to feed its people, much less make war on anyone. Join the real world please.
78. the next war
hendrikus VANHASSELT ,   AUSTRALIA   (04.09.11)
I can't help but noticing a sense of "looking in the mirror syndrome" This space is way too small to give response to these sort of articles, Israelis have t o be mindful of the self fulfilling prophecy. Also be very wary of the fundamentalist christian presence, for they will only support you in order to fulfill their own delusions. In fact be very wary of any religious groups that appear to support your cause, for they have their own agenda and dying for the cause is not one of them. Things are never what they appear to be and rivers of blood have been spilled chasing one delusion or another. I hold no brief for the Palestinian side of politics as the corruption there is palpable. But in the end you have to find equitable solutions and get your heads out of the eye for an eye mentality. that will only lead to two blind peoples
79. #36 - applause, applause, applause.
seadog1946 ,   ArthurKill, NJ   (04.09.11)
80. In response to Mark
Chris ,   Dallas Texas USA   (04.09.11)
I tried to explain this on Arutz Sheva, but they didn't publish my response. With due respect to Mark, his position is a minority view in Christianity, which is 2 billion strong. I don't think the Western, European/N. American nations wish to dismantle Israel. It isn't in their interests and they helped to create the state. They simply have to play a very convoluted game vis a vis the Arab Muslim World that can create fear and panic. However, your usage of scripture is the same thing, in my view. This conflict needs to move away from fear and panic, inshallah. And asap, imo.
81. Just one other point, if I may
Chris ,   Dallas, Texas USA   (04.09.11)
And who is the UN attacking/invading, this organization dedicated to "peace"? Yes, Libya, an Arab Muslim state, with the blessing of Uncle Samuel. The Republicans don't get the Jewish vote, but they get the Christian Zionist vote. The Democrats get the Jewish vote. Neither will go against Israel in the UN. The Europeans don't want another Jewish problem in their back yards. The Brits occupied Eretz Israel/Palestine and hanged Jews and Arabs, and ruthlessly. Yes, there was a time when European powers had the death penalty and used it, baby. Folks, the world needs less paranoia, not more. I never thought I'd live to say it, but with the Arab Spring in full, rebellious bloom and in the view of the world, the Arab Israel conflict, crazy as it is, remains just one part of a very complex hood. God/Allah/HaShem/the Christ is merciful, indeed. May he continue to show us his eternal wisdom and may the world get to its peace asap. Till that day occurs, enjoy the blessings while you can get em.
82. Israel will prevail
Michael ,   Tampa, USA   (04.10.11)
Amen Boris
83. full of holes
steve ,   bloomington, IL   (04.10.11)
oh comon!
84. god
Aydin ,   usa   (04.10.11)
get a life
85. war to come
to 77 ,   usa   (04.10.11)
LA, i couldn't agree with you more... israel "might" be a "power" in middle east between all those scared countries, but for many of them to claim that a tiny country as israel is to be able to threaten the whole world... c'mon...my opinion is that israel wouldn't be able to survive a prolonged war with many east euro coutries, let alone west euro...
86. Libya
Brendan Swemmer ,   South Africa   (04.11.11)
the unfolding of Isreal's next war will be determined by what is and has been happening in the Arab Country Revolutions. Especially Libya as the involvement of the UN and NATO will be used as a learning experience of what can and can't be done and achieved and at what pace with what price.
87. Libya is not Israel
Yaakov ,   Israel   (04.12.11)
I seriously doubt the UNSC will try to pass a no fly zone resolution on Israel or intervene in its territory like they did with Libya. I doubt that the USA will send armed forces or that NATO will attack Israel. If the Arab states should, then all bets are off the table and it will be a war for survival.
88. israel war
matthew ,   stratford   (08.29.11)
like david and goliath i think its prophetic.little Israel surrounded .g-d wrath will come against the nations
