61. to 20
Jennie ,   Israel/Us   (11.13.11)
Really ? 95% of Americans do not like the iranian intimidation of US allies...
62. to Sarah B for the no.35
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (11.13.11)
BRAVO , SARAH, FOR THE ONE OF YOUR FINEST HISTORY LESSONS ... We all know, that it is not very likely, that posters such as # 2, could face factual truth pertaining Israel and the above historical matters...
63. to no.2
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (11.13.11)
Do you mean to imply, that most of the democrats are either atheists, muslim or Jewish? According to you, it is because the majority of the republicans are christians, Israel gets more aid and takes full advantage of it ? If you would get a loan or aid, wouldn't you use it for your advancement ? But what startles here is, that you have no idea what you are "talking" about on the subject...FYI, Israel is the only and the most ingaged and reliable US ally in the ME...Your little brain could never grasp how much your insignificant life is made better, because Israel is there, both technologically and militarily, little scarred puppy....
64. polls
russ ,   Virginia, USA   (11.13.11)
Just so you know, there was a poll. I dont know how it happened but my cell number got on a list and I get polling calls from many different organizations at least monthly. I dont know if it was this one but I did get polled on Israel and Iran about 3-4 weeks ago. I was one of the Christian right wing people that was in favor of US and Israeli intervention in Iran. I go to the largest seminary in the world that is full of pro Israel Christians that will be ministers to hundreds of thousands. So, I doubt the US public will change their stance on Israel anutime soon.
65. atm, canada point Iran on map?
Steven Masone ,   Sacramento   (11.13.11)
We can point 9-11 on calender every year forever! p.s. little c for canada no typo.
66. Vote for support
Rob ,   West Monroe, LA, US   (11.13.11)
There would be another vote here for Israel to strike Iran, since my country the US thinks 5 million sanctions are going to work.
67. Sarah B #28, #35
David ,   Concord USA   (11.13.11)
Sarah B I love you for educating the ignorant! If you aren't married, will you be my wife? If you are, your husband is a very lucky man for marrying such a smart woman!
68. In Hollywood: VAST support across ALL sectors
EZRA THE PROUD JEW ,   USA-ISRAEL   (11.13.11)
Democrats and republicans alike, the most liberal sector in the US overwhelmingly supports Israel. Only the tree-hugging fanatics on the fringe whom most disassociate from (perhaps a few percent if that) don't support Israel. And, NO, its not out of fear that they'll lose work because "the Jews run Hollywood'...lol! Quite frankly, I've never seen a group of people with more political interests, education, self-education and civic-minded interests in any other sector as the artistic community in the US. People regard them as 'nut-cases' but its far from the truth. Hollywood is rife with middle class union members from all walks of life. Its a dynamic cross section of people who are more 'with it' than any industry around, hands down. I think the poll results aren't correct though: most Americans are afraid to voice their support for Israel for fear of being bashed. From my own experience, the percentage that supports Israel is FAR higher in reality. FAR higher.

(11.13.11)
that the little bearded monkey and his troop of mad mullahs Are And I Quote: The Worlds Largest Sponsor Of Terror, Illegal Arms/Weapons- hizbullah, mahdi army, syria/iranian agents, hamas. Probably The worst Human Rights Record with Death Penelty of Teens, Homosexuals, non-shia, The Slaughter Of UNARMED iranian protesters Shot, Raped,Tortured in the Steets and in their inhuman prison system. These are just the tip of the Evil Iceberg, Strike Now, Hit Hard And Fast, No mercy to uranium enrichment plants, icbm complex, and All suspected weapons buildings. The Current regime and highest leaders should be removed permantley. Shock And Aw with Precision on all three fronts? Emmes?
70. attacking iran
sas ,   israel   (11.13.11)
of course the americans want US to attack Iran we will be solving the world's problems.......................
71. #4 Dear Kam
max ,   vienna   (11.13.11)
In case of an israeli air attack - for gods sake don't shoot down any israeli plane - otherwise the world media again will whine for years about "abducted" and "kidnapped" pilots.....
72. The Poll is Propaganda
white eagle soaring ,   Medford OR, USA   (11.13.11)
New CBS poll says that 85% of Americans are against Iran war. If you must continue to terrorize the world, you will have to take the consequences...without whining about everybody hating you.
73. #11
Another American ,   Pasadena, CA   (11.13.11)
I second #5. Fight your own wars with your own money. Americans are fed up with Israel's crying and bickering and are finally waking up to the truth. We're not buying your manufactured polls. You probably polled Jews...no way the number is so high if we're talking about Americans. Nice try though!
74. ynet in Iran?
sami ,   tel aviv, israel   (11.13.11)
are you even allowed to be reading Ynet news in Iran?
75. Quotes from American talkbackers
Tahl   (11.13.11)
Seem to indicate they are suffering from a massive case of ignorance or delusion. "Maybe the stupid politicians might, but we don`t" "quit trying to drag the United States into it" "planted media stories about Iran" "Let them fight to the death" "The US people don't want no more war" "Just what Americans wants [sic] another war" "Politicians seem to speak for us without even informing us about the situation" "If you must continue to terrorize the world..." "Fight your own wars with your own money" As if Iran is merely Israel's problem. As if the American intelligence and the IAEA are lying. As if the American politicians could not care less about America's future. As if Americans can simply disconnect themselves from the world, bury their heads in the sand, and they could live their happy lives undisturbed forever. As if freedom and security are automatic. For all of you, here's a famous Muslim saying: after Saturday comes Sunday.
76. Not a good idea
Yitzhack ,   Lusaka, Zambia   (11.13.11)
Biblically, Iran will emerge final victor due to th'e rise of the King of the South. I'd say it's say it's not a good idea at the moment.
77. #67 Sorry to disappoint you David
Stan ,   Israel   (11.13.11)
Sarah B. is misleading you.( I hope that it is ignorance and not a blatent lie!) See on Google JEWISH VIRTUAL LIBRARY Myths & Facts Since 1987 Israel began receiving $3 billion a year in GRANTS, NOT LOANS !!!!!!!! $1.8 Billion p.a. to pay for military equipment purchased from USA. $1.2 Billion cash given to Israel as a grant ( THIS IS THE SMALL SUM DESCRIBED BY SARAH AS A LOAN ) Since 1999 the cash grant is reduced anually by $120 million, and the Military grant is increased by $60 million.
78. Keep.....
Dave ,   Israel   (11.13.11)
..sending us the resources and we'll do the dirty work.....as usual!
79. Most Americans are out of their minds!
Rich ,   Toronto, Canada   (11.13.11)
Israelis will suffer more than Americans from any attack on Iran.
80. #52 Thank you at least for your honesty
Erudite ,   Australia   (11.13.11)
by givng your name. Because your name says it all.
81. please dont
mac ,   norway   (11.13.11)
No one going to attack any one, after witnessing fleeing IDF soldiers running away from destroyed and burned Mirkava tanks in 33 days war with Lebanon I´m not sure any more about IDF defense capabilities against Iranian made arms "delivered to Hezbollah" , be real be honest . Iran`today is capable of making nuclear bomb In matter of days if it chooses to.
82. mac from norway.
LION OF JUDAH   (11.13.11)

LION OF JUDAH   (11.13.11)
The IDF will never run from your Hizbollah or any others.IDF will fight like LION, and you and the rest of europe are jealous of Israel. By the way,keep and look after the Islamic immigrants,until they take over from you the real norwegian.Soon you will be ruled by them
84. David in Concord USA (#67)
Ginette Golden ,   Toronto, Canada   (11.13.11)
I too am a great fan of Sarah B. "She speaks my mind". However, don't get too hopeful; from previous talkbacks I learned she is happily married...Indeed, her husband is a lucky soul or maybe he is just smart for having married her! I pray for the safety of Israel twice daily (Shema). Cheers!
85. To 84 Ginette Golden
Dave Cannon ,   Concord   (11.13.11)
It is my hope that Sarah is as happily married as I have been for the past 36 years.My wife and I are still on her first date. At 59 years of age I still get pursued on a regular basis by high school girls... I never chased girls ..I never knew how to chase them because I never had to chase them . I love Sarahs iron will to fight for Israel and acknowledge reality.
86. Oh MY God - I did not write this comment 67
Dave Cannon ,   Concord USA   (11.13.11)
Comment 67 - I did NOT write comment 67..I just noticed it .
87. To #1
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (11.13.11)
Well, let's see: We found Guadalcanal. Iwo Jima, Peenemuende, Remagen, Berlin, not to mention Hiroshima, Nagasaki and a few, more recent places. Now what has Canada found? Oh, I know: Orlando, Panama City, Tampa, etc. and when someone's life depends on it, you manage to find hospitals in Michigan.
88. POL IN THE USA
SJOERD RUURD VDV ,   MULTIVERSE   (11.13.11)
THAT POL COULD BETTER DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE SITUATION WITHIN THE USA ITSSELF. THE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION COULD DO THAT JOB IN A BETTER WAY.
89. Dave Cannon In Concord (#85)
Ginette Golden ,   Toronto, Canada   (11.13.11)
Now I wish you had written comment # 67 because your (real) comment # 85 is a little bit too conceited for my liking…who gives a crap if teenagers are chasing after you and that you are blissfully married for 36 years! Good for you Buddy but you are missing the whole picture here. Sarah B has always written beautifully and her comments ring true. Whether you are a fan of hers (like me) or not, again who cares…the safety of Israel and its People is at stake here and in the end, the country will make the decision that’s good for her. (the fallout in the air will be too high of a price to pay). Steve Masone of Sacramento, do I detect a bit of Jealousy on your part (Big J not a typo either). Usually without being directly attacked, People who belittle others try to make up for a “little something” they themselves lack of. Josh # 58, can I come and bring Zorro of Far Away and Birdi with me?
90. 2. ur comment is foolish. the majority of the USA is
(11.13.11)
Christian...soooo the majority of Dems are Christian too. Certainly more Republicans than Democrats support Israel, but the majority of Dems still support Israel. The problem is that Dems do NOT have the clear understanding of right and wrong that Repubs do. 1. The Dems think that if u make nice to everyone they'll make nice back...clearly untrue. 2. Because the Dems do NOT have the clear view on right and wrong, many of them are in bed with Jew haters...clearly wrong. P.S. I'm not Christian and I'm a Republican too...
