1. So have some b@lls Bibi and do what has to be done NOW......
Sarah ,   Israel   (09.11.12)
Do what a good Jewish leader would do. Tell the people to fast and repent and then trust G-d. Please don't tell me that Esther, a WOMAN... had more guts than YOU.
2. yes, Bibi, but
E. G. Marsch ,   Nahariya, Israel   (09.11.12)
of course Obama et al. aren't going to announce "red lines" just because you demanded them too. You talk too much and are turning into a paper tiger. If you're planning to do something about Iran, shut up and get to work on it. If you're not, shut up because you're making us look ridiculous. That is, in either case, shut up. Enough already. It's not doing any good and probably doing harm.
3. Has Israel set its own red line?
African Rabbi ,   Zambia   (09.11.12)
4. for obama israel is the red line of iran
miriam ,   israel   (09.11.12)
5. The world might not have right to block you but we
Milk D ,   USA/East Coast   (09.11.12)
definitely don't have to back you. I guess now Bibi is talking that "we are gonna go it alone BS again" If your country could successfully pull off an attack you would have ordered one. We all know why you have not..if I were in politics I wouldn't hold Bibi back I would let him get kicked right in the nuts like Shapiro did to him earlier in the week. Bibi is so funny..he thought he was gonna "go off" on Shapiro..but the US ambassador pulled something that should be taught in Diplomacy 101...he stood up and kicked. BIBI and his kind in the nuts and told him to sit down and shut up!!! Know your role and your place BIBI
6. Bibi has it right
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (09.11.12)
The world doesn't care about anything but their own pleasures. They (Chamberlain and Roosevelt) gave us up in WWII, the Brits afterwards, gave us to the Arab dogs. Bibi knows this and is acting responsibly. The world should be embarrassed but they don't even care.
7. The world is not trying to block Israel
Ivor EVenbiggergun   (09.11.12)
it appears Netanyahu is trying to manufacture a situation he can sell to the Israeli people, as for why there has been no attack on Iran by Israel. Even the Americans have stated that Israel is the master of it's own destiny. If Netanyahu wants to attack Iran then fair wenough, but I think the Israeli security cabinet have nixed the idea. I am more interested in why Barak has changed his mind about a strike on Iran to be honest
8. Obamas refusal to put up red lines for Irans
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.11.12)
nuclear Holocaust project is the Wannsee conference of our times !!!!!!
9. The time has come
ex-frummie ,   Johannesburg, S.A.   (09.11.12)
to stop trying to get the US to see sense. You cannot get Amateurs to play professionally. Do what has to be done. The US elections must play no part in the decision.
10. What? Did Mr. Netanyahu actually display a little bit of
Patiriotic Israeli ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (09.11.12)
backdone to Mr. Obummer? How'd that happen?
11. #5 - "Bibi and his kind"-what exactly do mean by "his kind"?
Patriotic Israeli ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (09.11.12)
12. Israel is an out of control attack dog that shows contempt
mike cohen ,   USA   (09.11.12)
Israel is an out of control attack dog that even shows contempt to the US
13. Israel has to declare a deadline..
Savid ,   Israel   (09.11.12)
In the past Jews had waited TOO LONG for the world powers to stop Nazis. We can not risk our future and the future of our next generations.DECLARE THE DEADLINE NOW...
14. No more talking. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.11.12)
The time for talk is long gone. The genocidal Mad Mullahs of Iran move closer every day to building functional nuclear weapons to use on Israel. We face the prospect of yet another holocaust. No more talking. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
15. Bibi cannot wait
Haider ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (09.11.12)
Does he want the Jews to be scattered all over the world again?
16. #7: follow the money
(09.11.12)
17. will netanyahu be smart?
(09.11.12)
#2 is right, Netanyahu has screwed-up by talking too much for too long. Now it is too late. Netanyahu should leave Iran to the Saudis and Americans. In the meantime Israel should prepare for an attack from Sinai, Gaza, Lebanon with help from Fatah and maybe Syria. and important: build hospitals in Ariel, Kdumim and Gush Etzion. We'll need them.
18. #5 who says iran would...
mark ,   usa   (09.11.12)
use a nuke against israel. They way the mullah's of iran play chess, my bet would be they sucker punch the usa with a nuke in a freight container, then they have nothing but time murder Israelis one by one. Who needs all that nasty radiation near jerusalem, when chemicals will do the trick.
19. #12 - because o'bummer IS contemptible!
Patriotic Israeli ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (09.11.12)
20. Obummer will not help Israel. What do you expect?
Efraim ,   Virginia   (09.11.12)
Also the Europeans love to appease the muslims. Israel has to do it alone. This will be the 3rd time. 1) Iraq 2) Syria 3) Iran
21. World itching to "blame Israel" for what it won't do itself
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (09.11.12)
The world is in full appeasement mode. China wants to protect its resource pipeline. Russia wants to enhance its position in the Middle East. The 120 "Non-Aligned" nations want to pretend they have something in common other than they're "not partial to the US". And the West hesitates to act against another Arab or Muslim country. So they pretend it's "Israel's problem" because to conclude otherwise would mean they'd have to do something about it. And if Israel goes it alone? Well, there's only so much it can do itself, and there will be consequences even beyond the "unintended" variety. And in the end they will blame Israel, for doing what they were too feckless to do in concert.
22. Israeli Diaspora
Israeli ,   Israel   (09.11.12)
If something isn't done quickly it be that many olim will leave out of fear of an attack. i support israel and i want israel to protect me, just as obama feels he's doing for his americans. i do see how the rest of the world would hate israel after an attack, but perhaps they might gain back some respect, after all, it is the dog who actually bites that people fear (and respect).
23. So don't wait, go and bomb who stopping you?
8.25 ליטר   (09.11.12)
When you going to lower the price of gas?
24. The only questions remaining now is whether Bibi will....
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (09.11.12)
pull the trigger before the US elections and will he dust off the nukes, even if it's just on a limited basis?
25. Opinion piece in the Washington Post
ex-frummie ,   Johannesburg, S.A.   (09.11.12)
states that Obama is skipping more than half of his daily intelligence briefings - gee why am I not surprised! Israel is being black-mailed by this Administration into not acting. The time has come to show this Administration the middle-finger. Most Congressman, Senators and the general American public are pro-Israel. Act now, you may lose the support of Obama, but hopefully he will be out in 8 weeks. And if not, Israel does not have much more to lose from this Administration.
26. obama indirectly supporting iran
tony   (09.11.12)
PM Natanyahu, remove the veil out of your eyes. So, you don't know that obama is indrectly supporting iran nuclear programme?
27. Hate Obama BUT did he go to the papers or people asking.....
Just DO IT ALREADY ,   Israel   (09.11.12)
What do you think I should do.... I've got this guy captured and I think it's Bin Laden? NO. He took the risk, made the decision and did it. Now it's your turn Bibi.
28. Iran
theoherzl ,   ashdod   (09.11.12)
It's soooo clear that the BS that this klumnik constantly spews out impresses nobody but a few west bank fanatics. Red line my tooshi. Bibi is all mouth and no trousers. Shut up and retire already. What a loser!
29. #22
yafe nefesh ,   nahariya   (09.11.12)
It's the dog who actually bites that gets put down.
30. Israel, the Rubicon has been crossed.
John Prophet   (09.11.12)
There is no turning back.
