31. Nuclear Iran
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (05.25.12)
If Iran gets nukes, each caravan robber in the Middle East will also want nukes. And then you it's about time to wait for the big "boom". And, yes, this will also affect the USA and the EU.
32. To: No. 18
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.25.12)
You have missed the point. If there is no Iran, there will be no need to worry about whether they acquire nuclear weapons or not. You can't be much of a spy, guy, if you do not realize that Israel's arsenal is formidable, and includes nuclear weapons. Please also do not lose sight of the fact that nucler physics is essentially a Jewish invention. You may or may not be aware of what the United States' nuclear arsenal contains. You cannot be sure that Israel's does not contain something far superior to anything in the U.S. arsenal, though, can you? By the way, spying is definitely not your thing. Are you not aware that while Pakistan may have nukes, they lack delivery capacity? That is a much, much smaller, and very exclusive club; of which Israel is a member in very good standing. Snicker. Don't give up your day job, "spy" guy!
33. To: Noodles at No. 28
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.25.12)
Don't be too harsh on the Austrian goose-stepper. He's not naive. He's an indoctrinated idiot. Oh well. Can't be helped. Can you recall a single post composed by him which was articulate, included documentation, presented facts or was even moderately thoughtful? I can't, and I have a very good memory.
34. What is about to occur is the Fifth Seal of Revelation ch. 6
Rivkah   (05.25.12)
The first seal is a rider on a White Horse (Catholicism). The second seal is a rider on a Red Horse (Communism). The third seal is a rider on a Black Horse (Capitalism and famine). The fourth seal is a rider on a Green Horse (Islam). The fifth seal is when Islam kills a quarter of the people on Earth. ISLAM IS ABOUT TO SLAY A QUARTER OF THE PEOPLE ON EARTH! That is WWIII. After that the sixth seal is an Earthquake, a great worldwide earthquake. The ELS Scripture code matrix's at www.herealittletherealittle.net tell the year of the Sixth Seal: 2012!!!!! That means the Fifth Seal of Islam slaying a quarter of the people on Earth is in 2012!!!!! BE ON GUARD. Even Muslim women are training to slit throats. Always have a weapon of some kind to defend yourself on your person.
35. How does Ahmadinejad sleep at nights?
Tim ,   Brighton   (05.25.12)
He has spent a STAGGERING $90bn on his nuclear pursuit - HE SAYS for Medical Purposes? Is that where a WHOLE generation of Irans wealth and money has gone? Is this the worlds LARGEST EVER WHITE ELEPHANT He has carefully and deliberately cultivated anti US anti West anti Israel anti Black anti Jew anti Christian anti Sunni anti Arab anti Slav hatred...and wonders why Iran now finds itself so hated and isolated But now very serious questions are being asked of Ahmedinejads mental stability..Recent Twitters have suggested his closest aides are very concerned about his sobbing himself to sleep virtually every night, talking to himself incessantly and showing signs of acute obsession paranoia and most concerning - risk taking Is that why Khamenei is reputed to have been so shocked at Ahmadinejads failings that he has retaken control - to try to steer Iran back this madness?

Viroman ,   London, England   (05.25.12)
this is the internet, a chance to post a comment anonymously, where its clear some let of more steam than others. America is our closest ally and friend and every Jew i know loves and supports and is great full. however, history has taught the Jews that they only people they can truly rely in is...... THEMSELVES. especially with matters of survival. so clearly yes there will be comments deemed 'ungrateful' but these silly suggestions that 'Americans should read these talk backs' are ridiculous.
37. #23 Anytime you are ready.....
Phil ,   Ireland   (05.25.12)
You can make a valid point. We are all waiting!
38. #9 reality-check
Menachem ,   Israel   (05.25.12)
It is the Arabs who have tried to destroy Israel who need to make peace with the Jewish nation-state Israel. The term Palestinian in the 1940s meant a citizen of British Palestine Mandate and applied to Jews as well as to Arabs and Druzes. Ironically it was mostly Jews who called themselves Palestinians since most Arabs back then called themselves Syrians or simply put Arabs identifying with the wider Arab world. News-flash: Most "Palestinian" Arabs were either immigrants or descendants of recent Arab immigrants to Eretz Israel from all over the Middle East and North Africa. Many "Palestinians" Arabs have family names indicating the country of their origin like for example Al-Misr - referring to Egyptian origin.
39. #15 Mind your own business
Eyal ,   Israel   (05.25.12)
In the past most people in the world thought the world was flat. What counts is thruth and not numbers and the truth is Obama is undermining Israel's security against the will of most Americans. No wonder that Obama causes so much salivating among Jew-haters in Eurabia who "mourn" dead Jews but get a fit when an independent strong Jewish nation-state defends itself. Get used to it because Israel is here to say for ever.
40. Israel will attack Iran's nukes
GoyBoy ,   Not Iran   (05.25.12)
Well its only my over-active imagination at work…but I think Israel WILL attack Iran’s facilities…and will also destroy much of the Russian–supplied defence network while they’re at it…so that if they’re not satisfied that the threat is eliminated, they will go back in again to have another go….and while I’m really on-a-roll…IF Iran tries to retaliate in any major way …Israel will reveal for the first time its nuclear capability and actively threaten Iran with its own elimination. ..Its also nice to know that even a weasel like Mr Haber admits that Iran will threaten the world and Israel.
41. Israel Needs Shelters, Are You Listening Livni?
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (05.25.12)
I read "The Samson Option", which the author later said does not apply to Israel now. (Israel has hundreds of nuke warheads, some miniaturizedin shells,, others in suit cases, and some coated with cobalt, lithium..it also has laser type weapons. Israel can bring down entire Arab nations...with dispatch, 60 minutes at the most. Iran knows this, and thus has not attacked beforehand. Egypt knew it. and only resorted to the Suez fighting. Turkey knows it, thus threatens but that's it. ( Indicting 9 IDFers over the flotialla incident which IT provoked). All these nations are pompous..but know darn well Israel's might. Assuming the US suppiies Israel with F35s, refueling capability for them, and defensive weapons for the Sinai attacks..Israel has over 800 warplanes and 5 nuke loaded subs. Yes, the world may have to live with Iran's nukes..as it does with Korea...not wanting warfare.. Israel should: complete a shelter system for WMD, focus on its real problems of security, become a fortress state..bar Nakba Day and otther sedition, bring its Orthodox/Arab sectors into its overall security, avoid Lebanese type wars which cost lives and are fruitless. Ben Gurion and Peres lived through WW2..and knew Israel's problems then and in the future. They had insight, but simply wanted the Jews to survive. That was their priority...are you listening Livni? Israel's nukes were meant for Russia, NOT the Arab world. Now, it has enough nukes for both arenas. 25 nukes over Iran, and it is history. Get it Ahmad. We are talking about 30m casualties in Iran..is it worth it, Iran should ask itself?
42. @15 William - Oh dear oh dear
Stephen   (05.25.12)
"Oh dear oh dear" - I find your post unbelievable! the UK's position has weakened far more than Israel's !! I should know 'cos I live here mate..the UK has virtually no manufacturing left, its status as a finance centre has dropped and it has had to make huge defence cuts! Immigration issues of the past haunt our future and we're a mess here. Israel on the other hand has a steadfast economy, growing export and manufacture and innovative high tec and strong defence ! ps A missile from Iran will soon be able to land on London without a problem so we in the UK will be in the same boat as Israel if Iran get nukes! Sleep well William.......sleep well.
43. There is STILL time to act and to act >>>
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.25.12)
DECISIVELY ! And by the way: The foul and phony talks are just standing FINE by now...NO MORE laughable deal in the crosshaires any longer !!! So let the time go by and RELAX...
44. some good, some bad
alexi   (05.25.12)
haber for once arises from his despair to makes a good point. Ies, iran is determined, the regime of the criminal ayatollahs hanging by some threads to preserve itself wants nukes. Haber underestimates what israel can do. and the dagans and baraks of previous eras did not want to hit osiraq and syria, yet the hits bought valuable time. So iran would be more dangerous with nukes, no question. The US wants no part of any more battles with the moslem world, other than drone or special force operation. So haber is correct. Sadly, there is no chance that B & B would attack iran for several reasons. Netanyahu knows the military, understands it but is uncertain and hesitant and needs a unity government to boost him. barak did some things years ago, but his record is littered with failures since his chief of staff days and he too lacks confidence which is why he talks and threatens so much. Yaalon and lieberman would be the ones to say-ok, lets go, n ot Bibi and barak.
45. flawed article
stephen ,   UK   (05.25.12)
The proposition in the article is substntially flawed. Israel built nuclear weapons with only a defensive goal in mind. Necessity and survival motivated that end goal. That ( and that alone ) is why Israel succeeded. Iran however wishes to build the bomb with an offensive goal in mind. Getting the bomb is not a necessity for Iran. Nor is it essential for Iran's survival. That is why Iran may well decide that this folley is one mad move too far.. (whether they decide that before being bombed by USA/Israel etc remains to be seen )
46. @Dan - #16 -"DOH !!"
stephen ,   UK   (05.25.12)
Dan - You said "Couldn't have happened to a nicer people -haha" Well - news flash Dan - It HASN'T HAPPENED ! Doh!! ps By the way - were you referring to all 6.5 million people?
47. #33 Sarah, what was that about being an indoctrinated idiot?
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (05.25.12)
He probably also thinks it says "Noodles" on my teudat zehut.
48. i love you Sarah!!!
Alon ,   Toronto Canada   (05.25.12)
49. Bibi Was Right All Along, Anyone Hearing
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (05.25.12)
For the doubters, todays news should awaken you to Iran's real goal. As I told a friend, Iran needs a strawman to justify it's hegemony in the area. And why not, with 75m people, lots of oil, and huge class of potential birth mothers. This is the 3rd worlds future, for countries with oil, lots of oil. Ahmad seem himself as a old fashioned Persian potentate with a turban. The mullahs are G-ds reps.. Israel-Iran are NOT natural enemies..no borders. The psychology is simple and obvious:: Hitler blamed 500,000 German/Austrian Jews for Germany's loss in WW1, and obligtions under the treaty. Jews and Russians were..spreading Capitalism and communism..both offensive to the Reich. 9m Germans died in that war. leaving 1,000 yrs of a legacy o hatred. Iran, now enriching at 27%.. respond by saying its a "technical fault".Only a technical fault? Come on. The 5th question should be: when will Iran's nuke sites be taken out and by whom? If Iran retaliates (as threatened) by bombing Israel-US interests...a 2nd strike occurs..and this time against ALL Iranian military facilities. What is good for the goose so to speak. Iran has oil,,,exports same in HUGE TANKERS. It doesnt need nuke plants (see Germany). Bibi was right about terrorism and suicide bombings..and is right about iran. Is the world listening? Are you paying attention Livni? To those in Israel who are protesting prices/a draft or service..Shihabs have targeted you too. Get it!
50. Look At Herr Hitler and Herr Assad
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (05.25.12)
To Dan: According to former US general's report to Congress, 30m Iranian and 15m Syrian casualties, in a total war with Israel. Israel has 1m. That was before 6th nuclear tipped missle sub from Germany. The 6th question: will Iran be willing to be half-destroyed by launching WMD at Israel? Some say "no". others, "well maybe". Israels 2nd strike capabiity...is devestating..but at what price? 2 nukes over Tel Aviv, and, like, who will remain in the country? If Israel hits Iran, like bacteria..it must be destroyed in total, no further threat. Anti-biotics must be used for a sustained period..and then sometimes, the infection recurs. My guess: like Korea, nothing will be done. Iran now has 27% enrichment and 350 more centrifuges..and the Big 6 do nothing but allow more stalling. The world has leaned nothing from Hitler's treaty with Russia...invading a few months later. Who will stop Iran, if Syria is allowed to continbue its atrocities. All talk and no action.
51. I asked my cousin who works in Dimona
LG ,   Australia   (05.26.12)
if we really have the Bomb. He said - Actually no. But if we ever needed one we could probably put one together in about three quarters of an hour.
52. 50 Noah Lev, LA, USA: Elam will be destroyed, Scriptures
Rivkah   (05.26.12)
tells us. Elam is Western Iran, so half of Iran will be destroyed. Then the people will migrate to other nations since Iran will become uninhabitable. This is a war that needs to be won by overthrowing the regime in Tehran if possible.
53. THE WAR IS COMING - HERE IS THE PROOF !!!
David ,   Miami, Florida   (05.26.12)
The war is coming. Russia and Iran plus a group of Arab / Islamic nations will attack Israel. You don't believe it?!? Then read it for yourself: Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39. Who is the nation to the far north? Russia! Who is Persia? Iran! This was written around 586 BC! Russia did not yet exist as a nation and Iran was still called Persia! The other nations are today either Arabic or Islamic. Yet, Islam did not exist when this was written! The war is coming!! THIS IS A DEFINITE!!!
54. #1 Peter
Mark Wilson ,   U.S.A.   (05.27.12)
I read this morning a Sarah B post where she says that due to the stupidity of Dagan, she will be dropping Israel from her address above. It seems that Sarah B is blaming Israeli leadership for incompetence when it comes to attacking Iran...
55. Only one itsy bitsy Iranian nuke...
Mark Wilson ,   U.S.A.   (05.27.12)
Landing at Gosh Dan and Israel will be gone with the wind...lol

58. # 28
Birdi ,   Israel   (05.28.12)
It would look real nice to see ''Israel'' written after Noodles.
59. # 15
Birdi ,   Israel   (05.28.12)
You just dont get it, do you. If Iran is able to bomb Israel, it will be very able to bomb the UK. Think of us Israelis as you wish, thats your choice. We know Iran & the mad mullahs want to whipe us off the face of the earth & guess what you dumbo, we willlnot allow this to happen. Obama or no Obama.
60. # 51
Birdi ,   Israel   (05.28.12)
You cousin is under a sworn oath not to divulge any information about his place of work. If I was you I'd keep very quiet.
