2. Jerusalem?
jeff ,   Beverly Hills, CA   (01.14.12)
am I the only one wondering why it says Jerusalem and not israel?
3. we should support all efforts
Arctodus Simus ,   Fort Yukon-Alaska   (01.14.12)
by the Israeli to bomb the iranian niuclear sites, and take advantage of the predictible ennemy reaction to topple once for all the criminal shiite regime in Tehran.
4. To n°1
Arctodus Simus ,   Fort Yukon-Alaska   (01.14.12)
At the contrary ! Look to history, wars always boosts economy and research. Its perhaps cynical, but it is exactly what a great nation like us need for now !
5. Israelis do their own fighting. No mercenaries, no leftists
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (01.14.12)
no leftists who help Arab terrorists hijack airliners or commit mass murder.
6. thats is simply because
observing ,   ISRAEL   (01.14.12)
when most hear Jerusalem they know that the reference is to the capital of Israel
7. Number 2
Richard Chase ,   Bassai Dai USA   (01.14.12)
Maybe its because all top Israeli leaders are in Jerusalem.
8. #2 Jerusalem is capital of Israel
Igor ,   Israel, T"A   (01.14.12)
Why do you wondering? It same as to say Washington instead USA or Ramallah instead PA.
9. #2 same reason Washington is mentioned
Mike ,   Israel Raanana   (01.14.12)
Jerusalem and Washington are the capitals just in case you dint know.
10. So no more empty babbling about a green
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (01.14.12)
light ??? SIGHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11. Obama is only an Usefull Idiot !.

just tell them no support from usa end a story.
13. Even Obama knows Israel cannot sit on it's hands forever
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (01.14.12)
14. NONSENSE. The U.S. is NOT "concerned"...
Michael Cecil ,   South Bend USA   (01.14.12)
If it was "concerned", the U.S. Navy, with its aircraft carriers, would be ordered to SHOOT DOWN any planes from the Israel on the way to attacking Iran. STOP living in 'Rapture', "cloud cuckoo" land.
15. Nr 1.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (01.14.12)
So why are you involved in the US or World Economy ? Take your Richness and go home. This you should have done a long time ago. Imperialistic Capitalism will be crushed as a Punishmen of HASHEM - Joel chap 2 11And the LORD shall utter His voice before His army, for His camp is very great. For He is strong that executeth His word; for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible, and who can abide it? 1. Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand-- 2a day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains. A great people and a strong, there hath not been ever the like; neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. 3A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame burneth. The land is as the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. Ezekiel chap 38-39. Besides - It is Iran who will destroy World Economy not Israel. Arn.Sweden.
16. Nr 12. Israel doesent need it !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (01.14.12)
It is rather the other way around. Arn.sweden.
17. You know
anton ,   Ist turkey   (01.14.12)
What would be interesting? if iran announced that they have nukes in an effort to stop israeli strike:) would israel dare to attack? i doubt so, regardless, any strike on iran will prompt many retaliation and no one can say that they dont have the right to do so
18. The Wall Street Journal Says
sherly   (01.14.12)
ISRAEL WILL DO WHAT IT HAS TO DO ............. WALL STREET JOURNAL SAYS WHO THE HELL BELIEVES WHAT THE WALL STREET JOURNAL SAYS
19. Israel strike Iran
bobby   (01.14.12)
DO YOU THINK ISRAEL WILL TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO STRIKE IRAN... WHO EVER THINKS THAT IS STUPID IT WOULD THE AMERICA WHO WOULD STRIKE AT IRAN NOT ISRAEL... ISRAEL KNOWS THE CONSEQUENCES OF STRIKING IRAN ALONE WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE WEST.
20. What? Our good ally Israel acting without telling us?
TaylorT ,   USA   (01.14.12)
If so, then Israel alone should face the consequences of what a strike might bring. The US should neither ship Israel extra bombs in the midst of the war it causes, nor block condemnation of Israel at the UNSC. Israel wants to pretend to be one of the big boys, surely then it can accept the consequences without running to hide beneath the US's skirt when things get tough. OR, Israel could get on board with the rest of the "West" and let sanctions and other means do their work. The ultimate solution is regime change in Iran which bombing Iran will only delay. So if Israel finds itself in a larger war thanks to a "go it alone" attack on Iran, don't expect any help from others (in fact, if such an attack costs US lives, then the US would be within its rights to cut off all aid to Israel.) If you attack alone, you'll have to rely on the likes of those pro-war folks who post on Ynet from non-Israeli nations to come to your rescue. Don't worry, I'm sure they'll all leave Sweden and NYC for Israel to help prevent Israel from being overrun.... Yeah, right...
21. #4 Arctodus, "wars always boosts economy"
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (01.14.12)
Does that include nuclear war?
22. As if it has nothing to do with securing
Anne ,   LA, USA   (01.14.12)
Hormuz for trade
23. Attack
Elliott ,   USA   (01.14.12)
Only if Israel is attacked will Obama justify Israeli military action, and then only if it is "proportional," limits "collateral damage," makes reparations, "comes to the damn table," freezes settlements ... and ... well you get the picture.
24. #14 Michael, to be perfectly honest
Doomsday Toddler   (01.14.12)
The US may manage to shoot down a few, but would basically get their butts kicked in any dogfight with Israel. So, scratch that option.
25. Taylor if Israel does not tell US.Mullahs cant accuse US
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (01.14.12)
of collusion can they?
26. To # 20-25 and 11
David ,   Montreal, Canada   (01.14.12)
Keep in mind that there is a lot of politics and strategy. To 11, Obama is no fool he has an agenda and if you have doubts about his feelings about Israel, the USA dosn't. USA=Israel.
27. Pure BS - Peter SM
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston, USA   (01.14.12)
The US has troops and ships and civilians all over the Gulf and the UK of all the "allies" is sending one ship in support. The Canadians might sent some but they have fewer people than New York City. No Israelis, No Aussies, No French. Wars are easy to start; not so easy to finish. So yes, the US is concerned it will be left hanging. And all the Republican Presidential candidates can talk about on foreign policy is the need for the US to go to war for Israel - not to help Israel defend itself, just bomb and war in Iran for Israel. As for that plausible deniability, that too is BS. Iran is accusing the US of the terrorist bombing of Iranian scientists.
28. To 8 and 9 Thats my point - YES
Richard Chase ,   Bassai Dai USA   (01.14.12)
That was my exact point . The leaders are all in Jerusalem because Jerusalem is Israels capital. I did not know I had to explain a fact that is very clear and well known.
29. Israel cannot afford a single mistake.
David ,   Hartford USA   (01.14.12)
Israel is not the USA, ptotected by thousands of miles of water. Missiles fired from Iran will arrive within a few dozen minutes. Will the USA apologize to the vaporized Jews because they wanted to appease the Iranian lunatics? No, they won't. History has taught that when a leader of a country threatens a population with death, we better take heed and kill him and his regime before they can do exactly what they say. Israel is not the bad guy here, Iran is. And after the smoke clears from Tehran and the Green Revolution retakes their country, the world will be a far better place. The Israelis aren't going for the nuke sites, they're going for the Supreme Council and their ilk, the Guards, the pervert Imam who rule with an iron fist, and of course, the Dwarf himself.
30. to 21
Arctodus Simus ,   Fort Yukon-Alaska   (01.14.12)
who is speaking about a nuclear war ? Its all about a conventional all out war against iran to topple their criminal leadership. They don't hav e yet N weapons, and should never get a hand on them. We should be careful to block their sanctuarization process.
