31. To Britain: When Is the Right Time?
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (10.26.12)
Look everyone, Israeli newspapers have every right and obligation to report the relevant news. and this article is an example. But what does it mean realistically? Does England's stance make a difference? The Holocaust deniers started with the mayor of London...and the outcome of a lawsuit did not stop his attempt to change history. England is an open society...too much so. Its Muslim population will eventually bring it down. England reneged on the Balfour and cost our people millions. It bombed Germany but not Auschwitz or the rail lines. Its White Papers 3, destroyed one-third of our people. Its still all about oil. It needs oil and not Jews. It sent 120 ships to the Falklands..over a few insignificant islands..yet is bowing out of any pre-empt attack? When does it suggest Iran's nukes be wasted, before or after it loads its Shihabs? Before or after it increases the lauch flight of its missiles? When?
32. Britain prefer to kill afghan civilians than barbaric mullah

33. The United Kingdom
Abu Yuseff al Yahudi ,   Bue_Aires-Argentina   (10.26.12)
Do we, Jews, expect something better from this pirate and coward country, the United Kingdom ? They were, and are, up to today, a bunch of traitors and murdererers, let see several examples of their despicable behaviour: 1 - The UK has stolen almost the 70 % of the land of the former Mandate of Palestine, and gave it to the Hashemites as a "Gift", (the actual Jordan) - May be, sharing this big portion of land between the Arabs and the Jews have had prevented the 60 years of war between them, saving a lot of blood and pain in the entire region. 2 - The Britons also prevent the Jews refugees from disembarking in Palestine in the midst of the WWII, sending our brothers to die in the Holocaust, or to drown in the sea. Remember the case of the S/S Struma, that sunk in the Black Sea, and the S/S Patria, and a lot of other Ships that were intercepted for "His Majesty Navy". This was a betrayal for the thousands of Jewish Combatants that were fighting along with the Brits against Nazi Germany during this period. 3 - And the worst, after the end of WWII, the Brits have sent back to PRISONERS CAMPS in CYPRUS and in GERMANY a lot of Jewish Holocaust's Survivors, that were seeking refuge in Palestine. The most ironic fact was that the Germans didn't agree to custody the Camps, and the British Army was charged with the task of keeping the Jewish Prisoners, a BIG SHAME to them. 4 - And in the Case of Argentina, since 1833, the UK has maintained BY THE USE OF FORCE and unlawfully the Islas Malvinas (AKA Falkland Islands, for the English spoken people), that belongs righfully to Argentina. The UK is rejecting all posibility of negotiation in this issue, despite a lot of calls to do it by the UN General Assembly and the USA (The last call was THIS year). Another fact in this saga: in the Falklands War (1982) in wich the UK fought against my country, the Brits brought a NUCLEAR SUBMARINE (The "Conqueror") to a De-Nuclearized Zone of South América (All the countries of the Region signed the No Proliferation Treaty of Nuclear Weapons). This submarine sunks unlawfully the warship "General Belgrano", that was at that time OUTSIDE the Field of Operations Waters, sailing toward the Continent, in a heading opposite to that to the Islands. This infamous act, a War Crime, kills instantanously more than 300 people that were aboard the ship. This horrible act was ordered directly by Margaret Tatcher, despite the opinion on the contrary of the High Rank military officers in London.- And the worst case, just nowadays they are STEALING the oil, gas, and natural resources that lies in the waters around the Islands, that rightfully belongs to my country, Argentina. 5 - The UK also have created several countries without any coherence in the ethnics of the inhabitants, for example the case of Iraq, that was a complete failure, this was the case of several "artificial countries" in Africa too. - Not to mention the wicked acts carried out by the British Armed Forces against innocents civilians in India, before the Independence of this big country. THRE ARE DEPENDABLE INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTATION that proves all the facts mentioned above. There is indeed a very long list of the Felonies and Acts of Piracy that the British Empire has committed around the world, since several centuries ago to the present time. A lot of this wicked acts were commited against the Jewish People. Sadly for this past time powerful Empire, in the not so distant future the Seal of the Queen will be replaced by the "Crescent Moon", the Justice System will be replaced by the "Sharia Law", and their capital will be renamed "Londonistan". Good luck with your fate, British People. Shabat Shalom
34. Saying no to warmongers is a good thing.
Steven Zeluck ,   San Francisco   (10.26.12)
Is a wise and pragmatic thing to do to refuse to shed blood for oil. No to warmongers, no to Neo-Cons, no to Romney!
35. Iran appeasement
Bill ,   Phoenix USA   (10.26.12)
I didn't know Neville Chamberlain was still in office.
36. I see the usual suspects
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (10.26.12)
are up in arms, and misrepresenting the truth. In thee United Kingdom moslems make up 3% of the population, in Israel muslims make up 20% of the population. The fact that the UK government at this time will not aid any attack on Iran is down to one thing, there is no actual proof that Iran is tryying to develop a nuclear weapons programme. It is a major hole in Israel's argument that Iran is an existential threat, besides we have been told Israel can do the job on our own, so this really isn't an issue. Calm down everyone.
37. #2, Really now?
Jake   (10.26.12)
Tony Blair tagged along with Bush in his decision to go to war in Iraq, because of Britain's alliance with America, not because he really believed that going to war was a good idea.
38. what is this all about???
les ,   canada   (10.26.12)
who asked for the help of britistan? just like obama, all they want is to please, and pacify the murderers, hoping they would live them alone. sweet dreams guys....you may not wake up again.
39. not planning. just talk read what is being said.
ralph   (10.26.12)
the uk will not participate nor open any bases. game over.
40. #22: Rapper
Israeli 2   (10.26.12)
Israel can take on Iran on its own. As you said no need for everyone to come on board. If the Israelis took care of a warehouse in Sudan, Iran is no different.
41. Cowards are as cowards come.
Israeli 2   (10.26.12)
42. #36,When U in London do U only see 3 Muslims per 100 people?
Alan ,   SA   (10.26.12)
You need to go to Specsavers... They have a special offer for you.Trade in your Rose Tinted Spectacles for a more practical pair
43. Margaret T. where are you?
Mario B. ,   Phila. USA   (10.26.12)
Margaret T. where are you? Cameron needs your help. Please explain to him that Britain is not bowing to the Muslims of the world. I guess we in America might look back at the european history once again.
44. UK Opposes Israeli Attack
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (10.26.12)
It is a matter of convenience. The UK opposes an Israeli preemptive attack on Iranian nuclear facilities because that could cause all sorts of inconveniences. If mushroom clouds rise over Tel Aviv and Haifa, the UK will oppose an Israeli retaliation, because that could cause all sorts of inconveniences. And,when the UK becomes a Muslim country and the Shariah is imposed, the survivors, those who have found it convenient to convert to Islam, will celebrate.
45. #36, Regurgitating stats from 20 years ago
Jake   (10.26.12)
In 1990 Moslems were 3% of the UK population. In 2012, that number is over 5%, not counting undocumented immigrants (which is a sizable number in the UK). Moreover, Islam is the fastest growing religion in the UK, whereas the number of Christians continues to shrink. Besides, who says that the majority rules? Listening to the BBC, you would think that the entire world consists only of Africa and the Islamic world.
46. #34 But warmongering was just fine in Libya
Jake   (10.26.12)
where USA, UK, and France mounted a relentless bombing campaign which crossed well over the boundary of the legal mandate given them by the UN, into the 'gangster' world of 'regime change.
47. # 42
Birdi ,   Israel   (10.26.12)
The poor one @ #36, does not see, does not think, does not hear & does not feel. Me thinks she/he is a muzzie plant.
48. Some Good News at least.BBC is in worst crisis for 50 years
Alan ,   SA   (10.26.12)
Google "Jimmy Saville and BBC".. There is plenty to read about that den of iniquity.
49. Wow, so much vitriol in the comments
JB ,   London, UK   (10.26.12)
I find it rather shocking to find so much hate and mud slinging in the comments as the reaction to this news. Do you take issue with the other countries in the world that do not believe a strike on Iran would be legal ? Russia ? China ? Just about any of the other European countries ? It says a lot about the level of mentality when such levels of absolute hate come pouring out to an otherwise fairly respectful announcement - IE the UK doesn't think such an action is legal. Hardly a terrible and evil statement. International law is - should be - important, regardless of what extremist minorities with their own agenda may think. Personally speaking I am rather sick of the whole immature, hate spewing, radicalised extremist argument from both sides. It smacks of immature, sulky mentalities with a huge tendency to resort to violence as a first and last measure. Strike away. Launch an all out attack. With a bit of luck that part of the world will entirely annihilate itself, and gosh, what a more peaceful world there will suddenly be. Get it over with, or grow up. Stupid millennia old tribal feuds. Pathetic.
50. war lovers
mona ,   US   (10.26.12)
the stupid mentality of war and destruction is very dominating on some terrorist states,yeh,you are very happy and blood thirsty,yo don't know you will be crushed under the feet, if civilized,you can try to be peaceful for once but its' not possible.......
51. Not surprising - US hypocrisy
Tevye ,   London   (10.26.12)
What has the US ever done ? Entered WW1 in 1917, entered WW2 in 1941, supported Argentinian fascism over the Falklands... who can trust them as an 'ally ' ?
52. JB,your creme de la creme,the Royal Marines, got kidnapped
ab   (10.26.12)
from under the nose of the RN fregate in the Persian Gulf -and apologized on the Iranian TV . Then endowed by Ahmedi with tight feeting grey suits(and the female Marine with a burka and head scarf) were sent back to England-where they were keen on writing books and collecting money .. Perhaps it's better you don't contribute,you really ,really are not up to the task
53. #36, Girlfriend of MAHMOOD...you calm down !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.26.12)

55. #42 I know I see a LOT of South Africans in London..
Marv   (10.27.12)
It must be bad in SA, they have been moving to London in their thousands since the end of apartheid. You will come soon, once your farm is grabbed by the new order of SA.
56. # 55
Birdi ,   Israel   (10.27.12)
