yakov ,   nahariya   (08.20.12)
Why would the want to brief this kloomnik? An alterkakker if there ever was one. This country is really going to the dogs...
3. Who's he? Commander in chief?
Yosi ,   Israel   (08.20.12)
Who knows, I guess, a bit of hocus pocus and a crystal ball doesn't hurt, or does it?
4. What the hell
Miche Norman ,   Hod Hasharon   (08.20.12)
Firstly why is Yishai - the representative of the Mishtamtim on such an important committee - secondly what the hell are we telling the local ayatollah for so he can talkto his colleagues?

6. The Mountain of the Lord
Adam Neira ,   Jeruslaem, Israel   (08.21.12)
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef is not the wisest person in the Jewish or Wider World to counsel on the Iran/West imbroglio at the moment. Let's see who is paying attention at the moment. I will reveal the meaning of the following famous prophecy from the Tanach. I am doing so for a reason. There are many timetables. Jewish - 5772; Christian/Gregorian - 2012; Muslim - 1433; Iranian nuclear enrichment Red Line - Soon. “It will happen in the end of days: The mountain of the Temple of the Lord will be firmly established as the head of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills, and all the nations will stream to it. Many people’s will go and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Temple of the God of Jacob, and He will teach us of His ways and we will walk in His paths. For from Zion shall go forth Torah and the word of G-d from Jerusalem. He will judge among the nations and will settle the arguments of many peoples…They shall beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation will not lift sword against nation and they will no longer study warfare.” - Isaiah 2:1-5 What the "mountain of the house of the lord" means is the following. Mountain implies peak, apex, highest point, i.e. the wisest opinion, perspective will present itself at some point. This higher authority will thus need to be heeded. The "chief of the mountains" bit means that this person will have to recognized, supported and heeded as the leader of the generation. The part about the word going forth from Zion alludes to the fact that at some point this person will be installed in Jerusalem proper.
7. What next, consultation with mediums and astrologers
Marcus   (08.21.12)
We all see now who rules the Israeli theocracy, not the elected politicians, but the religious freaks. Advice to anyone wanting to emigrate to Israel, don't bother, and anyone holding a dual passport should get out now while they have the chance.
8. Sadly this is what you get when mixing politics with voodoo!

13. Respect
isaac ,   mexico   (08.21.12)
