1.  OPINIONS
DA RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED OPERAHOUSE   (10.26.12)
Who honestly cares about Prime Minister Camerons' opinion regarding Iran or the opinion of his " spokeswomen " ? Opinions are like arseholes...we all have one. Incidentally ,the British also regarded the late Paedophile child abuser and abuser of dead bodies Jimmy Sa VILE as some kind of a wonderful saint so this goes to show just how unreliable and flawed the British judgement of character and intention is. Regarding Iran ,british opinion should be ignored.
2. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.26.12)
We have a holocaust to prevent. It's as simple as that.
3.  FACTS
DA RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED OPERAHOUSE   (10.26.12)
FACT : Sanctions ,although undoubtedly painful ,have never successfully prevented countries from obtaining Nuclear Weapons .
4.  SMOKE AND MIRRORS
DA RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED OPERAHOUSE   (10.26.12)
Mr Cameron tells folk what he wants us to believe ,nudge nudge wink wink .
5. #1 Yo Yo Yo DA RAP ARTISTE

I Think You Ment; opinions are like arsce hole's , everyone has one and they all stink!!!! I Do Have To Admit You Are Clever As Ever, baby pop rock, Peace Out Boya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shabbat Shalom/Baruch Ha Shem
6. Cameron should shut up
Brod ,   USA   (10.27.12)
It is none of the business of Cameron to be intruding in how Israel defends herself from evil forces hellbent on her destruction. Does he prefer to see Israel vaporized by Ayatollahist nuke? If so, he is worst than Hitler. Israel can tell him to go to Hell.
7. Shades of Neville Chamberlain
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.26.12)
I guess the British still have a bone to pick with Israel because the Jews kicked them out of Palestine. It isn't exactly as if the British matter much in international politics. The sun has set on the British Empire, and in a few short years, it will set on Britain as well. Good riddance to the country that has caused more problems in the world than any other in history, and taken responsibility for absolutely none of it. I hope Kate realizes that her topless and bottomless days are coming to an end .....
8. Englands new Chamberlain
jerry diamond ,   Highland Beach Fl US   (10.27.12)
England has a history of brown nose Cowards. We now have a new Coward to add to the list. Mr Cameron history will judge you just like your predecessor Mr. Chamberlain!
9.  #8 Englands brown nose cowards
ky   (10.27.12)
I suppose Winston Churchill was one of them? When we stood alone against the might of Nazi Germany and the British people had to endure days and nights of death raining down from the sky. London was destroyed and still we fought on alone against Nazism whilst the US stood on the sideline . Cameron might have got it wrong re Iran, Truthfully he is a buffoon who is not fit to lead a nation but you need to get your history straight and not confuse poor leadership with distorted facts
10. AS FAR AS I KNOW
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (10.27.12)
Iran hasn't threatened to destroy England It is Israel that's under the Iranian gun
11. A No joining a Military strike -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (10.27.12)
- will not save GB the Iranian contrastrike. Arn.Sweden.
12. UK *is* relevant
PJM ,   NYC   (10.27.12)
This decision by the UK government is, actually, important. Israel does not have the capability to launch a successful attack on its own and the US will have a harder time launching an attack without using UK base territories such as Diego Garcia. If the UK government is opposed to a strike, it makes it notably more unlikely that it will ever happen.
13. Politics is a job like any other.He wants continued employ-
tom ,   tel aviv   (10.27.12)
ment. Arab votes will make that wish more likely to come true. Just like our own, dear Mr.Barak....
14. UK opposed to strike Iran
binok ,   modiin Israel   (10.27.12)
If Margeret Thatcher was the PM of Britain she would have dealt with the situation very quickly and very efficiently, remember the Falkland's back in the 80's. Shame she isn't the PM of Israel. What on earth are we waiting for? If a country threaterns to eliminate you, take it SERIOUSLY. MT was the only 'man' in her cabinet Bibi it's time to show the world that you not only talk well and present our case to the international arena excellently but you mean what you say. Remember JUST DO IT!!!!!! .
15. #1 Agreed
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (10.27.12)
Israel should provide the three runways that the United Kingdom owns which are out of range of Iranian rocket fire, and capable of hosting the B2 bomber and the B52. Of course we will open up our airport and naval space in the Indian Ocean for the United States to use and we will take the airport Israel owns on the Eastern seaboard of the Atlantic out of mothballs to allow the refuelling of resupply flights to our airbases in the Indian Ocean and B2 and B52 capable runways in Israel. Oh and I have a bridge in London for sale if you want to buy it, and the big sky fairy in the sky will lend you $2million if you ask it nicely. You better hope that Cameron is bluffing the British people, because without the UK's help bang bang in Tehran is not going to happen, and Obama has an excuse as to why
16. ***Sarah*** at 7, your last line made me suffer
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.27.12)
a laughing breakdown...
17. #16 Germans were never known for a sense of humor..
Marv   (10.27.12)
18. England also waited
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (10.27.12)
Then the German's came and bombed the hell out of London with airplanes & v1& V2 rockets Patience is one thing, sheer stupidity is quite another
19. #7 'Sarah B'
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (10.27.12)
In that case why did you bother replying to the article.
20. 19 - why you spending time on her don't you see
David   (10.27.12)
she doesn't have full deck to be polite?
21. The possibility exists
Miche Norman ,   Hod Hasharon   (10.27.12)
There is a possibility that the British foreign minister is slightly more intelligent than ours
22. #12 PM
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (10.28.12)
Never say never, Israel wiped both OSIRAK (IRAQY) & AL KABIR (SYRIA) off the map Think of it this way, if Israel can't destroy Fodrow, there are plenty of nearby cities that would make good target Every hear of Hiroshima & Nagasaki ?, USA destroyed them, leaving the Japanese with little ambition to continue fighting It doesn't matter what the UK wants, Any strike against Iran will not be launched from the UK In fact, during WW2 the Nazi's did a more than adequate job of whopping the hell out of England. America had to help out, because the Limey's couldn't help themselves, Read some history, you need it
