Dear Hasan, That is the problem that *you* just do not get -- Israel *is* sick an tired of the war, and has been seeking peaceful diplomatic solutions. The problem, is that for most of Israel's enemies the only diplomatic solution worth discussing is the one that involves fairly quick demise and obliteration of Israel. Just think of it: is Iran responding to diplomacy? Is Iran's nuclear development a threat to Israel? Would Iran hesitate to obliterate Israel if it could get away with it? Would Iran care for its fellow Muslims (Palestinians) who would die if it were to bomb Israel (why would it, it would celebrate their martyrdom). Now, WHY can't YOU just leave Israel alone? Because you believe Israel wants to control territory from Nile to Euphrates, which is non-sense that many of you have confessed to me believing. Because you believe that it it is a great affrontery to Islam to have Jewish presence in the West Bank (where Jews were expelled from as recently as in 1928-49?) Look at your own text (Al Isra, verse :104, I think) -- apparently Quran is NOT against Jews returning to their land. Really curious what you guys make of that, btw.

Whatever Israel decides to do re: a nuclear Iran it has to come from Israelis deciding their future and not from caving to pressure from the US. Learn from the past and remember the Holocaust-nobody lifted a finger to help the Jews.

I find your comment very funny. I really think you should open your eyes to the reality. As someone who does live in Israel and has to run to bomb shelters for safety I can assure nobody here "enjoys" doing that as you mentioned. What I can't seem to understand is how you point the finger at Israel for all these problems. Ahmadinejad has stated on countless opportunities that he wishes to destroy Israel and wipe it off the face of the earth. Now you come and say Israel is causing problems and causing this state of urgency when the aggressor (Iran) is calling for war. Your exxplanation would be equivalent to saying someone threatened to kill you and the you being reprimanded for saying you would defend yourself if need be. It's scary to think their are people in the world that actually think like you

Israel/USA.?

If the world leaders could see this movie, they wouldn't be so gun happy about pushing any buttons.

You are worrying too much and creating panic. You are damaging aliyah.

If it gets too harry, everyone is welcome to Jerusalem, which will remain the relative City of Peace that it usually is. Plan "B," go camping in a cave near the dead sea.

as did my family in 67 , 73 and 91 [ during gulf war ]

and we will not be leaving with our US passports. Happy to finally be back in the country of our birth with our children! No matter what happens we will be staying. I left Israel as a 2 yr old and it took 25 years to move back home. My husband served faithfully as a combat solider in the IDF and I know that they can and will protect us! The US can take our passports back if they wish because I will gladly say No Thank You!

I would never dream of leaving Israel before a war, nor would my children, nor theirs. We live in the safest place on Earth. God (and the IDF) will protect Israel, and its people will continue doing enormous good in the world. We know there will never be another exile, and that certainty is our strength and our joy. Come visit!

...Join volounteer corps of border guard police, you can do your part in the defense of the nation.

Highly doubtful. What you'll see is a lot of Israeli expats rushing home to Israel to do their part.

See my post at No. 42. That will answer your question. The colors blue and white do not run.

advice to them, if there are any more of irun left. Or, do you have no imagination ?

Doesn't have to be border guard police. My husband is a surgeon, chiefly maxillofacial plastic surgery, but battlefield trauma as well. Of COURSE we are coming home! Am Israel. We cannot hope to do better than that, no matter where in the world we live. I do note for the record, however, that the European response is -- well -- pathetic. But very European. Scoundrels or cowards. Take your pick.

How do you negotiate peace with a govt that is it does not get what it wants is willing to destroy themselves and others without blinking an I. The words of Iran-not mine.

Blinking an "eye," honey. Unless you meant it deliberately, as in "Iran" being "I." They are for sure setting themselves on the road to destruction. No great loss.

Only the ignorant could be surprised at this development--this is not news. Only Obama will be surprised

IRAN started this war .- helping HAMAS and helping Hezbollah.- beside this also helped to bomb the AMIA building and israeli embassy in BsAs(trucholandia)

HASAN IN THE USA YOUR HALASH IN HEBREW MEANS WEAK, STAND UP AND FIGHT, ISRAEL MEKOACH LEKOACH TAMEED.

I can excuse your lunatic comment about Israel & Iran sharing in this matter only for their political gain. After all..you ARE from CA.

We will unite as one and destroy that childish piece of land called Iran. I do not recognize it as a country or state.

Israel is right to speak up and take the offfensive in the face of being publicly threatened. I think a EMP attach on Iran and Pakistan would be the best way to go. This would reduce the killing and put their war equipment out of service for many years...jf

What if, perhaps the likes of Nazralah and Achmedinajad lightened the rhetoric? Are you unaware of the things they say about Israel and about Jews? or are you just attempting to perpetuate what you know to be a lie?

Kudos Mr. Eichner: Outstanding journalism. The Obama administration went out of it’s way to facilitate the Muslim Brotherhood taking control of Libya and Egypt. The Arab Spring has sprung and fanatical terrorists are on-a-roll throughout North Africa, the Middle East and elsewhere in the world. The likelihood of Iran furnishing Hezbollah or Hamas with a nuclear bomb is high. Having turned Tel Aviv or New York into an uninhabitable ashtray, Iran will deny-deny-deny. History repeating itself, the Obama administration is castrating the US military only to enter a world war. http://www.magnifiedview.com/2010/11/13/cultures-clash-and-civilizations-crash/ Our prayers are for Israel’s survival Yoda@magnifiedview.com P.S. “May you live in interesting times” Ancient Chinese curse.

Know this Israel,,, Call and I will come. I pledge my fortunes, my life, and my future to you. Have faith in devine providence, and that your plight is understood by those outside your immediate boarders. Any group of people that uses the destruction of an entire race of people as a rallying cry will soon find themselves alone. God be with us...

Sorry, Israelis, this guy is clearly out of touch. You have not made problems for yourselves when trying to live in peace on your land. He needs to take a big dose of shut the heck up!

yes very simple! guys ! NO they have not to stop, they have the sam right to nuclear as israel or india pakistan or france. iran is a great country no matter bombing or war, iran will havce the bomb !! go iran go !

Well sed
