25 Talkbacks for this article
1. Too cowardly to try a strike on Iran...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A./Israel   (11.05.12)
We need some one with balls to strike Iran. Some one like Golda Mier, that had the guts to turn the enemy into glowing cinder in a heart beat...
2. barak for dog catcher, bibi for his assistant
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.05.12)
3. Israel has always been on the verge of war - since 1948
Avi Mizrachi ,   Eitanim, israel   (11.05.12)
Everyone in Israel (except for those who live in Tel-Aviv) knows that!
4. #1,2 Women I would trust to get the job done
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (11.05.12)
Anyone talking about "glowing cinders" and "dog catchers" has my support...LOLLL
5. really sara?
pini   (11.05.12)
the golda meir who knew in advance war was coming and allowed thousands of idf soldiers to lose their lives that first day?
6. Ynet hits nadir of reporting
keren ,   tzafon, israel   (11.05.12)
This anonomously written unsubstantiated "news" atricle, about a possible "future news article" pertaining to a presumably closed door meeting that happened TWO YEARS AGO is so blatantly a vehicle to give that crook and shyster Olmert an opportunity to blather on. Why the h-ck do we even care what he says? He had his chance to serve his country and blew it, so he should be shutting up now. Ynet, this is a new low in the manipulation of the media.
7. S Korea is in bigger danger fr N Kor,but they dont bomb them
Alan ,   SA   (11.05.12)
Seul isjust over the border... N Korea has Atomic Bombs but SouthKorea hasnt done an urgent pre emptive strike.
8. #4, you're 100% correct
jj   (11.05.12)
They would gladly send thousands of Israelis to their deaths from all the way away in America. Bunnie and Sarah are real brave heroes.
9. Guts
SanMan   (11.05.12)
Do you really think it takes guts to order an attack, no it takes a psychopath to "turn the enemy into glowing cinder", to them its no more difficult then ordering a pizza. Its a good thing that people like Sarah are not in charge of anything.
10. Netanyahu gave the appearance of Israel
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (11.05.12)
being at the brink of war to try to gain leverage to get the West to do it for him before Israel took the gloves off. After Netanyahu's bluff was called (I understand the Americans said go ahead we have your backs) Netanyahu went to Washington to beg Obama to stop him, hence the lecture in the White House, so he could go back to Israel to state he couldn't bomb Iran because Obama was not supportive. Israel's biggest problem is that Netanyahu thinks he is the messiah. He isn't of course, he is a very naughty boy, whose support base chant bomb Iran, whilst safely esconced in the United States. This story is meant to disguise the fact that at the last election (in which Netanyahu came second) Netanyahu made an election promise to stop Iran's nuclear programme, he is trying to get the Israeli people forget this promise by blamong Obama for not going through with it. A place Netanyahu regularly visits in order to raise funds for his re-election.
11. #1 is clearly delusional
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (11.05.12)
Only last week she was praising netanyahu's stance towards Iran as being the correct one. Now she is invoking the spirit of Golda Meir Who ignored all signs that the Arab armies were building up on Israel's borders to attack it until it was to late. And only then threatened to nuke Cairo when the Israeli counter attack had failed and there was no ammuntion left to try it again. Rose colored glasses will not help to establish the long term future of Israel.
12. Oh Really Sarah B?
(11.05.12)
Did Golda Meir have balls? Is that what you are implying?
13. How many lost their lives because
Arlene ,   Northern Galil   (11.05.12)
Golda Meir was afraid of world opinion!! Then to blame Dado!! She wasnt popular with those that lost their loved ones. Sorry Sarah, maybe you were not in Israel at the time or had someone in the IDF, so Golda is still your hero.
14. #1 is NOT Sarah B.
Linichka ,   Gdynia, Poland   (11.05.12)
That is all too apparent, as the poster cannot properly spell. The real Sarah B. is highly articulate, and never makes spelling or grammatical errors. Her viewpoint is keenly intelligent.
15. Sarah B & B
sid ,   israel   (11.05.12)
I go through Ynet talkbacks several times a day mainly to read comments by the two Sarahs just for entertainment . They are so hateful. cool it ladies ?
16. ALL: PLEASE SHUT UP and change the topic
Rafi ,   US   (11.05.12)
17. Sarah B always barking like a chihuahua
(11.05.12)
About israel's politics but comes to Israel once a year...
18. With Barak in charge it would have been a disaster
Rachel ,   US   (11.05.12)
Dagan and Ashkenazi saved Israel from itself.
19. # 11
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (11.05.12)
There are more than 1 person posting under the name Sarah B as you well know. Unfortunately there is nothing to stop anyone from doing it. Sometimes one can be fooled but those that believe every post that says Sarah B is Sarah B are not very intelligent.
20. Israel vs General
Brod ,   USA   (11.05.12)
Israel needs loyal Generals who don't buckle and are not insubordinate. The Government knows best in protecting the nation.
21. Striking Iran
abe4u ,   Israel   (11.05.12)
No mention about Begin striking Iraq's nuclear capability AGAINST Regan's advice. At the time Israel suffered for a short time, however during the Iraq war,the world thanked Begin for his foresight and decisive action - even the leftist Yosi Sarid praised Begin. Olmert has the audacity to talk about going to war , when he himself went into the 2nd Lebanon war and made a laughing stock of Israel, and sadly we unnecessarily lost brave soldiers because of Olmert/ Livni/ Peretz's zigzagging all through the war, the only war that Israel has not won decisively.
22. #5 AND # 1 GOLDA WAS A DISASTER
DA RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED OPERAHOUSE   (11.05.12)
Not nice to speak ill of the dead but Golda was a twit whose poor decision -making led to the deaths of thousands of young israelis .
23. Democracy in Palestine easier than perpetual war with Iran
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (11.05.12)
24. Olmert's comments are insane.
bob k ,   orlando us   (11.05.12)
There is a real threat from Iran. It would be better if the US stopped Iran but if Obama is re-elected he will do everything he can not to attack a Moslem country unless forced to by the Pentagon for America's interest. We saw with Benghazi Libya, Obama did not even try to save his own ambassador or Navy Seals and others. Israel may be forced to act alone. Others don't feel the risk Israel faces and feels and many don't care that much,
25. what's it all about, alfie?
tom ,   toronto, canada   (11.05.12)
what almost, but not quite, happened in 2010? who cares? is ti relevant today? was ashkenazi insubordinate or just unprepared? and who is in command, the government or the chief of staff? or is this all really just about politics and the upcoming election(s)?
