1. Iran now boasts openly
Tomar Bergman   (07.23.12)
Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gloated publicly on Thursday over the deaths of Israelis in a terror bombing in Bulgaria, and hinted that Iran was responsible for the attack. “They have indeed succeeded in inflicting blows upon us more than once, but have been rewarded with a far stronger response.” So what is Israel waiting for anymore ? So what further evidence is needed ??? Tell Obama, Ashton & P5.1 to jump in the nearest sewer. Bomb Iran now or be nuked.
2.  Iran strikes again ..and again
Frank T   (07.23.12)
Iran strikes again ! So what do Obama, Ashton, Meir Dagan and their peacenik & liberal friends say now ? Wait till the mushroom clouds bloom over Tel Aviv and Israel, and still keep yapping "all options are still on the table".
3. everyone knows how Iran/Hezbollah operates
Jeff ,   USA   (07.23.12)
Was it really that surprising to anyone that sending the Mossad out there to start bumping off nuclear scientists was going to result in something like this?...
4. #3 - Excuse me, Judge Judy?
William ,   Israel   (07.23.12)
Do you have any evidence that Israel was involved in the deaths of Iranian scientists besides the bluster and conjecture of the Mullahs and their supporters? Iran doesn't - and they admitted to that fact. Do you enjoy being a tool? Better yet, do you enjoy trying to equate the death of innocent civilians with scientists who work on an illegal nuke project for the military, while under Intl sanctions?
5. @3 Ha-cha-cha boy do I wish it had been so!
Jew with Cojones ,   Israel   (07.23.12)
Now wouldn't that have been actually really kickin' if the Mossad had squeaked into Iran killed the scientists and then squealed out. But alas my friend you over estimate us. Our Mossad is unfortunately past its hay day.
6. Poor logic Jeff
Tom ,   Munich   (07.23.12)
So, it's OK for Obama to take out Osama, but nuclear scientists working on the Islamic Bomb are as innocent as Preganant Israeli tourists in Bulgaria?
7. #4, 5, 6
Jeff ,   USA   (07.24.12)
I am not excusing the Bulgaria bombing in the least... it was a barbaric terrorist attack, and I actually have no problem whatsoever with Israel paying off the MEK to take out the nuclear scientists. Just noting, it was pretty predictable that they would retaliate for it with terrorism and that's something that probably should have factored into the equation of whether to go after the scientists to begin with...
8. @7 really now your comments both of them r anti-semitic
Israel ,   Israel   (07.24.12)
Jeff, have an objective little think (if you can) and realize that the cruel and real ground zero is that these terrorists don't need a excuse...they hate us and that is all it takes for them to get down and dirty and into their terrorist actions. Really they don't need us to do anything except exist and they are on the warpath for absolutely no reason.
9. i wonder why sweden lets all these terrorists in?
jack bauer   (07.24.12)
10. we have not even brought
alsky ,   toronto   (07.24.12)
to justice those who killed Jews in Argentina. Financied and executed by Iran vis a vis Hezbullah We need to settle the score !
11. The Jews know
24.07.2012   (07.24.12)
the every move of the Iranian Scientists and their instructions and plans against Israel, so what harm is there in blowing these Scientists to shreds? The trouble with Israel is that they blew up too few of them.
12. They can neither identify supposed bomber nor even state
Miron ,   USA   (07.24.12)
with certainty it was a suicide bombing.
13. The incompetence of Tamir Pardo is staggering.
Miron ,   USA   (07.24.12)
The most advanced intelligence agency in the world is now incapable of identifying suspected terrorist for a week. Netaneyahoo and his appointies need to be sacked before Israel becomes a dust.
14. Jeff Everyone knows Hezballa/Iran need no excuse & what they
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (07.24.12)
stand for. Iran wants a proxy war,they are gloating over what they call the killing of Israeli "diplomats" and are goading Syria into opening a front against Israel and they will be joined by the "resistance". Remember Nasrallah opening fire with missiles all over N.Israel? Lebanon cross border shooting etc
15. Israel will always be a target while it continues to steal..
Elias   (07.24.12)
Palestinian land in the name of God and build illegal settlements in violation of International Law. Colonialism went out of fashion with the advent of democracy, but Israel apparently lives several decades behind true democracy, and in the dark ages of imperialism.
16. Not anti-Semitic
JL ,   NYC   (07.24.12)
Jeff wasn't anti-Semitic, he was just pointing out Muslim cause and effect. Muslims don't need an excuse to kill Jews obviously. And only Muslims believe it is ok to kill civilians. Imagine if Israel responded to the attack in Bulgaria by launching a rocket into an Iranian school. The world would scream -- but barely a peep after yet another Iranian attack on innocent civilians.
17. 15-Retrograde Marxist language
Stephen in New York   (07.24.12)
such as “colonialism” and “imperialism” denotes gross ignorance and probable stupidity. This language describes nothing.
18. #7 - except that - Iran admits it has no evidence
William ,   Israel   (07.24.12)
against Israel at all, whether directly or indirectly through the MEK. They gave plenty of "circumstantial" reasons why they believe it but no actual proof. So, it's basic terrorism at its finest.
19. #15 - Democracy appeared in Greece, 1st Century BC
William ,   Israel   (07.24.12)
but since then both the West, China, Japan, and definitely the Arabs have committed human rights abuses and colonial expansion. I believe the Arabs still illegally occupy stolen land all across the Mediterranean. Speaking of land, can you explain how it belongs to the "Palestinians" if they arrived as illegal migrants in the 1930s, and committed the war crime of ethnic cleansing of Jews in 1949? Most land settlements are on is this stolen land, not private Arab land (which is less than 3%). If democracy is in fashion, perhaps the "Palestinians" can revert to the globally accepted 1922 Balfour Declaration which was ratified by the League of Nations.
20. #15 - FYI - Jews were a target in 1920
William ,   Israel   (07.24.12)
and massacred many times before 1948 and the birth of Israel. Israel was still a target for annihilation before 1967 and any "settlement" was built on re-claimed land from 1949. So, as we tell the "Palestinians" who signed the Oslo Accords allowing for natural expansion of existing settlements - "the settlements aren't the problem, you nonacceptance of Israel, is"
21. to #7 iran can't retaliate, hizbulla and Hamas
ghostq   (07.24.12)
get funds from Iran ever since the 90's. that isn't retaliation. it wasn't proven that Israel was involved in Iran dead scientists. but I can tell you that the USA does nothing with the iran front, only talk, nobama even offered peace talks that were similar to president willson policy. so if USA does nothing than you can't really complain about this at all.
22. Elias.Taqiya ! Israel has a right under international law
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (07.24.12)
to settle in the WB. You dont like Jews RETURNING after Arab ethnic cleansing thats tough,negotiate borders instead of sprouting taqiya. Your brothers were butchering Jews in Palestine centuries ago,they opened fire on Jews praying at the Wall because it was "an insult to Islam". If you only wanted another Arab state called Palestine you would have had it 64 years ago,you want Israels state..
