1. I'm failing to understand
Amichai ,   Huntsville, US   (05.23.12)
Why are the P5+1 trying to bribe Iran at all? And, just like many (including Bibi) have said, Iran will try to cloud the issue and derail the focus of the talks. This is NOT about the "war on terror", the "war on drugs", nor "other burning issues". This is about one singular thing - nuclear enrichment and nuclear weapons programs. If Iran didn't come to talk about those issues, then talks should be concluded and military preparations made. No more obfuscation or political trickery.
2. From recent developments
Tom Donmann   (05.23.12)
From recent developments, its obvious to all but the naive, that Obama, the Europeans & Ashton have connived together to fabricate a so called "nuclear deal" to lull Israel into a false sense of security, while Iran can easily continue to build a nuke secretly. This is very similar to the situation 1938 when the 1st Holocaust was precipitated. Hence to prevent this, as Netanyahu & Barak said, there are only 3 points that MUST be implemented to make sure Iran cannot develop a nuke in future: 1. Stop all levels of Uranium enrichment immediately 2. Dismantle Fordow forthwith 3. Hand over all stocks of 20% enriched Uranium Unless Iran agrees to implement all of the above in written agreement within a given time-frame, Israel should consider the so called "P5+1 deal" failed and reserve the right to take action on its own.
3. I read EU spokesman said not to expect a quick fix
Alan ,   SA   (05.23.12)
So its another "freebie"
4. Iran deadly threat being whitewashed
Dexter Sam   (05.23.12)
Iran deadly threat being whitewashed by Obama & Europe finally exposed, very big cat out of the bag: - Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Hassan Firouzabadi (one of the closest confidants of Ayaotallah Khameni) said today threats and pressures cannot deter Iran from its revolutionary causes and ideals, and stressed that the Iranian nation will remain committed to the full annihilation of the Zionist regime of Israel to the end. - Fars News Agency, May 2012
5. Iran is playing with fire.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (05.23.12)
Bibi is becoming restless and impatient.
6. It's again Iran fiddling its tune and the
IF   (05.23.12)
P5+1 dancing on it. If they believe they can convince Israel, they must be outright naive if not worse. If Iran wants to play games, soon they will have to stop them for no one will listen any longer. And, BTW, when Iran will have met the bargain it has to and will have dismantled everything close to producing the A-bomb, they can very well start fighting against drugs, terrorism, fundamentalist Islam and intransigence. Believe me, they have so much of it in their own house that they will be busy cleaning it up for so many years to come.
7. YOU CAN REST ASSURED.............'2
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (05.23.12)
None of these three things are likely to occur.How about that? The right to take action,according to our famous 'glowing cinder' dreamer,has been there for ages and yet nothing happens.
8. @7 - MAHMOOD
Tom Donmann   (05.23.12)
Action will be taken, in fact it WAS going to be taken until Obama, the Europeans & Ashton jumped into the fray and begged Netanyahu & Barak to hold on & peace talks to be given a chance [to save their economy from collapse], which is turning out to be a farce. And final advice for all, NEVER underestimate Netanyahu of all people, remember that his brother did the what everyone thought was impossible at Entebbe...
9. To: No. 7
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.23.12)
Well, Mahmood, Israel is allowing Iran every opportunity to end its quest for nuclear weapons. Everyone knows that the "conferences" are a charade. Just a few days ago, as the poster at No. 4 points out, the Iranian Chief of Staff announced that Iran remains "committed to the full annihilation of the Zionist regime of Israel." That pretty much seals the deal. Nothing can save Iran now.
10. Obama just wants to get through November.
Daniel ,   Tracy USA   (05.23.12)
Obama is doing everything it can to stop Israel from doing anything. He doesn't want a war right before November. Sanctions aren't working and never worked. They need to take care of this now once and for all. Yes even though the US doesn't get oil from Iran, gas prices will spike just because traders are skittish, and stupid. Most of the EU doesn't get there oil now from Iran either, and other oil producing countries are upping their production to make way for Iran's demise. This is not a line Israel can let Iran cross, and to bad if Obama can't deal with it. The economy in the US is bad enough, and not much is going to help him now.

12. Rottenloser a question
Wim ,   Nl   (05.23.12)
Have you anything else to say?
13. HOW GENEROUS OF ISRAEL........#9
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (05.24.12)
To allow Iran to end its quest.Wow!! Where could one see this type of generosity,indeed?
14. @12, is name-calling all you can contribute?
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (05.24.12)
I think Mr. Rettenmoser's comment makes his point brilliantly. There is nothing left to discuss. And Mahmood, don't believe because nothing has yet happened, nothing can or will henceforth. Diplomacy had to be tried so bleeding hearts like you will not be able to excoriate the Western powers for not exploring all avenues of negotiation before taking military action. The red line is imminent. Iran is deadly wrong thinking it can forever bluff its way with this proposal and that threat. It has false bravado and arrogance thinking, as past failed despotic regimes have, that its military will finally find that magic which will destroy the "Zionist Entity." or the "Big and Little Satan" It is the folly of deluded regimes (and persons, Wim!) to seek to ridicule and believe by so doing, render impotent their enemies with name-calling. Soon the little Hitler and his Wizard, Khameni will realize the error of their thinking. The hapless people of Iran will be the victims of their despot's folly. Good riddance on this cancer!
15. oops...
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (05.24.12)
...caught myself name-calling, too.
16. Nr 4 and 9.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (05.24.12)
The Western World are prepered to play the Harlot with any Devilish power, for their own Egoistical interessts. West dont follow the second command to love Israel as Itself, although they are called Christian Nations. The western Nations has a long time ago, thown away the Cross they as Christians are supposed to bear, and not taking any notise to the second command. Therefore israel should not Heed the oppinion of those Nations, but Heed the Word of HASHEM and act accordingly. This will Give Israel The Cross for Her to bear, and that is that all the sins of the World will be threwn upon Her, by this Hypocritical Whore of the World. This will need the coming of HASHEM for Israels delivery, and untill then, the Worldpowers will not submit. GOD bless Israel. Arn.Sweden.
17. To: No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.24.12)
I notice you have absolutely nothing to say about the post at No. 4. Give it a read, and tell me what you think would constitute an appropriate response from Israel.
