First, we don't need American help or assistance. We've won all of our wars on our own. We have always been on our own. If you would bother to read the talkback of nr 4, you would realize that his suggestion concerns an Israeli RESPONSE to external aggression, and so does my comment nr 21. You objecting to Jewish existence and the right of self defense - again, reveals that the opinions that you just presented are indeed anti-Semitic. The "whole world" wouldn't come down on Israel for several reasons: 1) We have nuclear weapons. Unless the "world" is suicidal I suggest that the world doesn't push us. I have always said that these things should be done in SELF DEFENSE. 2) We have the 4th largest air force in the world. 3) No European country is fit to fight us. Democracies do not fight democracies. No Moslem country is fit to fight us. And stop pretending that we are the aggressor - we are not. We are simply claiming our ancient homeland. Yes, there IS a Judea and Samaria - that's what's the territory has been called for the past 4000 years. "West Bank" is a name/label coined by Jordan in 1950-1951. 3) Israel will survive these wars but not Israel's enemies. 4) Many genocides are going on around the world and yet the world does nothing. Many real occupations are taking place and yet there is no criticism. Where is the justice of this defamation of Israel and denying us our land? Who do you think you are? You can whine as much as you wish - it's our land and has been for the past 4000 years - unless of course you support another genocide on Jews and stealing our land. 5) There is no such thing as "the world". There are 200 states, thousands of ethnic groups and 7 billion people involved in hundreds of conflicts with each other. Believe it or not, but Israel is not at the center of the world. 6) Corrupt despotic undemocratic militaristic and theocratic medieval regimes dominate the UN hardly makes the UN a serious organization. The lack of recognition of our land is POLITICAL - not based on history or international law.

Nr. 19. Could make me Boast, but with your correction, I know I am on the right path. Arn.Sweden.

First and foremost, remove traitors to the state,such as Tibi and Zoubi, from the Knesset. Revoke their Israeli citizenship and send them off to gaza and their hamas buddies with a one way ticket. The top muslim mufti encourages moslems to kill Jews...why is he still in the capital city of Israel? He should be eating rats in the Khan Yunis sewers. His moderator too, and anyone else who within the state of Israel threatens the Jewish people. No investigation, no trial, and no luxus prison terms for the public to finance. How can Israel expect empathy from the world when her own house is dirty?

There appears to be growing concern by the favoured few - especially inside the military with vast accumulated wealth from corruption that banks might foreclose and close their doors or the Iranian currency devalued out of all recognition Evidently there has been a serious run on the banks that the regime have tried to keep secret and between $5 and $10bn smuggled out of the country to Lebanon, the Gulf and Turkey in the last four or so weeks But at the same time they are desperately concerned that once transferred out of the country - they might never see their money again The Regime are now desperate to stop this outflow so are threatening capital punishment - to the very people who have been their staunchest supporters Is this the last throw of Ahmadinejads dice?

First of all, Israel is a nuclear power. Secondly, not a single American has died in defense of the State of Israel. Approximately 10,000 have died defending an assortment of Arabs and Moslems. Thirdly, take note of the fact that the entire United States Fifth Fleet is berthed outside of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, protecting America's "good friends" the Saudis. Of course, notwithstanding the fact that 15 of the 19 hijackers on September 11, 2001 were Saudi, do you know how the Saudis thank the United States for its naval presence? I will tell you. By cutting oil production and jacking up the price of Arabian light crude. Finally, I wish to point out that -- much to the anger of the United States -- Israel destroyed Iraq's Osirac reactor. Of course, ten years later, Iraq invaded Kuwait and the United States was drawn into the 1991 Gulf War. It would have been quite a different war had Coalition forces been facing a nuclear Iraq. Think of all those American servicemen and women that did NOT come home in body bags, thanks to Israel, and show a little gratitude. Israel doesn't need the United States; the U.S. has lost pretty much all of its credibility, anyway. Just stay out of Israel's way when we decide to clean up the messes which the United States has been instrumental in creating in the Middle East.

Doesn't Netanyahu get tired of lying through his teeth? Worst, doesn't any Israeli get tired of listening to all his lies? Here he goes again, playing the magic "H" word! It must be close to the time when someone will be firing a bomb someplace! I wonder where? !

This is the problem, and the rhetoric that is always spoken.No matter the criticisim, it' always anti-semitic. Israel always wants the world to see it as the POOR victim. They ignore the wrong they have caused. Hide behind the united nations and it's resolutions, yet condemn them when they are not in their favor. They want to condemn he world for it's inaction, yet take no responsibility for it's own. Do the right thing, and maybe the world will see you differetly.

you speak of genocide? do you speak of Israle's own ethnic cleansing and actions that were taken against the Poplulation that existed before 1948? What happn to them? Forced from their homes to other nations or refugee camps? do you forget this action? Always want to be the victim, but never want to take responsibility for your own actions... That's what the world sees, and that is correct.....

Israel should keep building, keep reminding the world of the terroristic threats and if the world doesn't listen...well do as I did teaching a child you say"no" and the child does,you say "NO" and the child does again..then you show them "no".

Let me ask you a question: do you think there is such a thing such as an objective reality? Do recognize the existence of facts? If yes - why do you deny them? Because the facts reveal that Jews speak the truth and Arabs are not? If there are no facts, then how can your statement be factual? Do you recognize the existence of truth? Truth and facts are in fact the same. But, if there is no truth, then how can anything be deemed to be true or false - if nothing is true? Then why should your statement be taken seriously? If there is no truth - is your statement true? Would you care to give examples of the "lies" that Netanyahu is speaking? Are you suggesting that the Holocaust never took place? Are you suggesting that Iran is not threatening Israel? Are you suggesting that Iran is not developing nuclear weapons? These statements are just facts - no more. If you think we Jews are "whining" abou the Holocaust, then we haven't even started. Ignoring genocide on Jews - that is evil and malign. And pretending that the world "remembers" the Holocaust but stays indifferent to Iran threatening to initiate the second Holocaust, and your indifference to it and your explicit mockery of it, proves that Jewish lives mean nothing to you. Don't be surprised that your life means nothing to us. If you give hate you will receive hate. If you mock us we will mock you. If you deny and belittle our human rights we'll do the same to you. And the sooner you'll learn the better. Besides: when will USA fix its national debt and budget deficit? This year or this century? The rest of the world is growing tired of American financial incompetence.

As long as Israel exists, there will never be another Holocaust.

Thank you Beary White in Norway.

There was nor is nothing magical about the Holocaust. If you cant bare to read or hear the truth being told, do us a favour & butt out of Israel's affairs.

Nuke Iran now ,don't wait for them.

the WHOLE WORLD CANNOT, ABSOLUTELY CANNOT, destroy ISRAEL and continue to exist itself to tell about it .ISRAEL'S NUCLEAR WEAPONS , oops ,i have just revealed a big secret ,are estimated at between 300-400 thermonuclear warheads as of today ,roughly equal to the CHINESE nuclear arsenal ,and much larger than the total nuclear arsenal of GREAT BRITAIN AND FRANCE put together .including plenty of tactical [short range,smaller warhead] weapon to protect all of ISRAEL'S borders , and plenty of long range [JERICHO 3] missiles carrying bigger warheads to use as a deterrent .ISRAEL does have a standing military doctrine called THE SAMSON DOCTRINE GOD BLESS THE GREAT HEBREW STATE .

You're too stupid to realize this, but there is nothing magical about the Holocaust to us. My parents, z.l., were concentration camp survivors. The words "Never Again" mean something to me -- and to all Jews -- and the Holocaust is never far from our thoughts, particularly when we look around and see the poisonous anti-Semitism coming out of so many countries, including, shockingly, Europe. If you get tired of reading about it -- well, what can I say? You can always do as the Bible suggests: "If thine eye offend thee, pluck it out."

Actually, anyone who tries to annihilate Israel is going to face the wrath of The Mighty One Of Israel--Who doen't sleep, can't be distracted, and can't be deceived. He made Unconditional promises to Israel; and the rejection of their Messiah (mainly by the religious leadership of the day) did NOT in any way nullify those promises. He, who declares by the prophet Isaiah that He declares, "The end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that are not yet done," --therefore, He could see Calvary (and it was in His plan from eternity past to reconcile Himself to sinful mankind by the blood of His cross) when He told the prophet Jeremiah that unless a human could break His covenants with the sun, moon, stars, and sea; could measure the height of the heavens; or could sound the depths of the earth, (know anyone capable of doing this?) Israel would NEVER cease to be a nation before Him and He would NEVER , "Cast away all the seed of Israel for all that they have done." Jesus (Yeshua) Himself also stated that He came to fulfill the law AND the prophets, not to destroy them; and in weeping over Jerusalem, said that the Jewish people would not see Him again UNTIL (very important five-letter word) they say, "Blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord"--a common greeting of the day--in other words, UNTIL they welcome Him. Furthermore, the Apostle Paul, writing under the inspiration of the Spirit of G-d, states that G-d is NOT through with Israel and that He still has a future for them. HE still loves and will defend His ancient chosen people Israel. He will NOT allow Israel to be annihilated !!!

Israel will recognise Him when He comes. Zechariah 14 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished. And half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3Then shall the LORD go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle. 4And His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, Zechariah 12 10And I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look upon Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him as one who is in bitterness for his firstborn. May HASHEM bless You in Jesus Christ my Lord. Arn.Sweden.

Thank you. Humanity always win.

Israel must lead the world in defending freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness against the forces of destruction. The GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob-the Creator of the Heavens and Universe-the GOD of the Bible will be with Israel. He is Israel's strength. Judeo-Christians all over the world are also Israel. Galatians 3:29.

It may not be a majority of Americans, or maybe it is....I have seen no polls. Many Americans support Israel and seriously so. And why the snickering James of NY?

Israel waits for she dares not strike the first blow. Think of the political fallout, the whining and crying of the Irani's and the Palestinians..Arab's et al...the world is silent as all audiences are when the final act is about to begin...some hoping to see Israel in stress but others hoping to see the arm of the LORD revealed... Be strong Israel and call upon your G-- for his anger is great against the nations that surround you.

I speak for the Christian right...We stand solidly behind Israel...we are the American Majority...Why do you hide behind a foreign name like James? Why not use your true name Muhoma or Doofi HeHeHe.

Forgive my ignorance, but who is Hashem?

The Christian right is the majority in America? You must be living under a rock my friend. And you comments are pretty racist. No wonder the rest of the country thinks of the christian right as a joke. check out the movie Jesus Camp. Probably right up your alley.
