1. Indeed No shticks or tricks & also no memory!
just saying ,   Israel   (10.02.13)
Prime Minister Mr. Netanyahu, Sir, about your speech at the United Nations on 01 Oct 2013 two questions: By mentioning the AMIA Bombing (July 18, 1994) but neglecting to mention the Israeli Embassy Bombing (March 17, 1992) were you saying that the lives of Israeli Diplomats are worth less than the lives of others? Or was it merely a very poor attempt at identifying with world terrorism by forgetting what we, the citizens of Israel, live with on a daily basis? Sir, please do remember that USA President Mr. Calvin Coolidge said: "A nation that forgets its defenders, will one day be forgotten." Today Sir, you forgot Israel's Fallen Diplomats, you forgot her Fallen Ministers of Peace, may it be G-d's will that you correct this grievous error so that in days to come you will be well remembered. Va'ye'he Medinat Israel! (Long Live the State of Israel!)

It is refreshing to read writers that employ quality brain power analysing what they hear. Well done Ron!
3. Stupendous, memorable speech
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (10.02.13)
Quite masterful really. If I were an Iranian, I would listen to Netanyahu. Only Israel destroyed both Iraq and Syria's nuclear capacities without any hyperbole or fanfare. Iran's economy is in the tank, her people, if given the opportunity, will tear these bums into pieces, nice to see a smiln' Jenny try his charm and be called on it. Watch out Iran..
4. RICH CHARLATANS
daniel ,   the world   (10.02.13)
buy their own security,buy their own press,buy their own prizes,buy the poor
5. Solo strike
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (10.02.13)
Go ahead, Bibi! Make that solo strike against Iran. Make my day! Iran will make final short work of the Zionist usurpation, and if you happen to survive, which seems unlikely, you will be tried and convicted in the International Criminal Court.
6. The speech was a joke!
Cali Lib ,   Los Angeles, USA   (10.02.13)
Any attack on Iran will see Tel Aviv and Dimona burn. NetanYahoo reminds me of a chihuahua, all bark no bite. Iran is not Syria, they have the ability to respond.
7. daniel in the world always posts his irrelevant krap like me
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.02.13)
8. Netanyahu can mix words like a magician
Al   (10.02.13)
however when push comes to shove he wilts. Watch for the new Oslo horror movie coming to screen near you. Netanyahu will fold like a cheap suit as he clearly cant stand up to Obamas pressure. Netanyahu will lead Israel to the abyss. He should be shown the door. He will bring untold misery to Israel by giving into the Pals and Obama.
9. Iran
Mordechai ,   Beit Shemesh   (10.02.13)
i have seen several news reports that say Iran's involvement with the Syrian civil war is costing Iran 1/2 a Billion dollars a week, the cost of their troops there, supporting Hezbollah, the munitions they are supplying etc. couple this with the crippling crisis they have because of the sanctions and it will not be long before they run out of money to buy food!. in addition Iran knew should the US have attacked as it intended the Syrians would have not taken it lying down but would have involved Israel, but they also knew that if they did so Assad would very quickly be dead, that is why Putin stepped in to save Syria and the price was giving up its chemical weapons. the Iranians are desperate and will do anything to get the sanctions eased and the war stopped but the Sunni nations know this and will not let it happen. Obama just doesn't get it, all he wants is to try and prove dialogue works, what a fool!.
10. Iran another Baghdad Bob.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (10.03.13)
Israel has the truth, the world has the boot. The real victims of Iran style regimes are Muslims & Christians, their lands, their freedoms, their peace. Nukes are Zionist technology - its kosher, not hallal, not made for fat thumbs who can't make humous anymore.
11. Netanyahu's new demand
ab5678 ,   USA   (10.03.13)
One day Iranians might be able to spell nuclear so they should not be allowed to go to school.
12. Looks like BB is talking to a lot of empty chairs
Nachman   (10.03.13)
Looks like BB is talking to a lot of empty chairs and the remaining don't really care BB it is time that you understand that the world did not really change since 1933 vis a vis the Jew. It is time that you listen to our leader of the generation the Rebbe M that giving up land puts the entire Israel in danger. Tell the the UN that this land is G-D given land to the Jewish people and we are not giving up a inch. Stop looking like a clown warning the world that Iran is about to get the A-Bomb if you can do something about it take action and the world will respect you.
13. #5 grazcek
Oleg ,   Canada   (10.05.13)
If Israel really strikes Iran, Iran wouldn't be in position to respond. There will be no Iran.
