Read Genesis 12.3. George. You just may have an awakening and change your mind about Israel.
32. sanctions since 1979
Steve ,   Maine USA   (02.16.12)
There have been sanctions against Iran since 1979.

You've been drinking a lot of the koolade haven't you. Maybe you should do an objective search on the subject of historical crimes against Israel.

The war will last 7 and 20 years The sky will burn at 45 degrees Fire approaches the great new city By fire will he destroy their city A cold and cruel heart Blood will pour Mercy to none
35. Sanctions are merely symbolic. Military action is necessary.
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.17.12)
Common sense makes it clear that mere sanctions won't stop Iran's Mad Mullahs from building nukes. They couldn't even stop much weaker and poorer North Korea from building nukes. Sanctions are merely symbolic. Only military action can stop the genocidal Mullahs from building nukes.
36. No more stupid wars!!!!!!!
David ,   Chickashsa USA   (02.17.12)
Isreal, What have you ever did for us?? Sell our secrets to China, You guys just USE us. Stop building, Leave the Palistinians alone. Leave US alone!!! Heck, the REASON everyone hates us is because we back you no matter how STUPID you act. If we kicked you to the curb, Americans might hust be safe walking around cities in the Mid-east again.

needs to do to Israel what Israel has done to Gaza.
38. #37 What Israel does to Gaza
Cynthia ,   USA   (02.17.12)
1. Provides state of the art medical treatment to Gazans including specialty treatment like MRI, cancer treatment, dialysis. 2. Exceeds required provision of essential supplies transported daily to Gaza. 3. Attempts economic cooperation declined by Hamas. 4. Offered Gaza on a platter complete with flourishing businesses and beautiful homes to Gazans in exhange for peace. The homes were declined, bulldozed and replaced by block housing. Palestinians returned the peace gesture with thousands of kassam rockets and bombs. Is that what you mean Oberon? Imagine how Gaza, with beachfront property, could succeed if Palestinian leadership made proper use of foreign aid, stopped terror and didn't use the people for their self-destructive agenda.
39. No More!
jeanette3654 ,   Arlington Texas US   (02.17.12)
The US MUST stop funding, fighting and enabling all wars for israel! We must insist that israel start getting along with it's neighbors like a 21st century country, instead of acting like some biblical kingdom waiting for the invisible man in the clouds to come down to smite the evil, fill in the blanks. No more US money to fund the out of contrrol gov. of israel and no more more US kids to be bled in these unending wars for the rouge state of isael!!!
40. re "No more stupid wars!!!!!!!"
Honest John ,   Dallas, TX USA   (02.17.12)
Right on, no more "stupid wars". On the other hand, meekly accepting subjugation by death, destruction or dhmnification would NOT be an option in my opinion. I have no illusions that any "war" with Iran and friends, would be VERY destructive, BUT worse than waiting for them to kill you, well and this us? Well.... not me! And rest assured while there are MANY spineless folk here in the USA and many who hate Jews as much as they hate cats for reasons unknown, well you have to make your own choices. I am personally not a "pro-Israel" flag waver, just pro-western civilization and recognize that you are at the tip of the sword. Good luck and I hope we find our spine.

Elihu Wygant ,   Dallas, USA   (02.17.12)
You may command a little more credibility if you could properly spell Israel. Your post reveals that you obviously no nothing about what has been happening in that area of the world since 1948...For that matter; since about 2000 BC!
42. The sanctions are working beyond our
Kevin ,   Campton, NH, USA   (02.17.12)
wildest dreams. While the Iranians are distracted believing that we expect the sanctions to bring them to heel, the US is covertly putting troops, and weaponry in position to bring some good old fashioned shock and awe to the Iranians. What exactly do you think the little excursion into the Persian gulf was for? I'd expect there are now quite a few more Navy Seals in Iran than there were a week or so ago. I'd also bet, there are lightening plans in place to extract them with overwhelming force if need be. Don't forget the dozen marine expeditionary brigades being placed off Iran's coast. They alone could open a can of whoop a$$ on Iran.
43. You may consider the idea your being led into a trap.
Nathan ,   San Diego California   (02.17.12)
Eventually The Canadian oil will get to China, as the product has a market there, and Americans will never be allowed to Harvest their Natural Resources, so in the mean time, Iran is China's primary source of petroleum. China is Iran's economic partner, supplier of high powered modern weapon systems that could wipe out US Troops and Israel. China is Iran's military partner, and even has Troops in Iran to train their Electronic Warfare tech's and stuff like that. China, gave Pakistan Nukes because India was Testing Nukes, and now it would be in China's best interest to give them to Iran. If I were Israeli, I would drop the Macho Bull and advocate giving up Nukes and negotiating with your Neighbors instead of using coersive force against them. Good Luck! Shalom.
