1. Does it really matter?
Cameron ,   USA   (10.24.13)
Both states are dependent upon the American course of action in this Persian matter. Their ability to alter affairs to their taste is rather limited.
2. Yes folks, Yadin is correct
Israeli 2   (10.24.13)
Israel does NOT need anybody on board even dealing with the day after. We can defiitely take care of it by ourselves...but America and Israel are so intertwined that we (for now) do not wish to do what we sooner or later will have to if the Iranians do not change their regime.
3. #1 - how are Saudi Arabia and Israel dependent on the US?
michael redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (10.24.13)
4. @1 Cameron
Raoul ,   Herzliya Israel   (10.24.13)
This is more than about *taste*. This is about a very nasty smell.
5. obama would betray Israel when jets take off
(10.24.13)
6. Thankfully Saudi is on same page as Bibi
Tarbouche ,   Aswan   (10.24.13)
Thankfully Saudi is on same page as Bibi else, the Anarchist in Chief would have enjoyed toying with Bibi. Street parties in Israel , if Americans throw Obama under his Bus

8. Obama admin is cluelees about the Middle East!
michael redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (10.24.13)
9. Israel CAN do it ALONE...and D-Day is
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.24.13)
FAST approaching...
10. One assumes you have the wits to note the obvious, #7
Cameron ,   USA   (10.24.13)
But then again, this is YNET.
11. #1, Cameron YOUR unqualified ranting
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.24.13)
is no longer needed on this forum...!
12. Obama, nobody trusts him
CJK   (10.24.13)
he has betrayed too many people, and too many allies. he has created chaos in the entire middle east and has acted against american and its allies national security. israel will have to act alone with the tacit support of some arab countries with regard to iran. there is absolutely nothing that obama can do about it. no amounts of threats, blackmail or cajoling will make netanyahu give up his sacred duty to eliminate iran's nuclear weapons program. obama needs to understand that it is not Israel that is isolated, but obama himself.
13. #1, FINALLY shut UP Cameron ! Friend
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.24.13)
of the mullahs...
14. In the end, it does not make any difference
spyguy ,   seattle   (10.24.13)
because what Israel thinks is irrelevant to the world. The US has no leverage and will have to follow the Chinese lead and reach an agreement with Iran that China approves. Sure Bibi will rant and rave and threaten, but the world knows Israel is impotent when it comes to Iran and will ignore Israel. If Bibi does ignore the US and Israeli military advise and attacks Iran, the next day the people of Israel will be mourning hundreds of IDF loses suffering terribly as the world retaliates. Israel has no options and should quietly take its losses.
15. it DOES matter
rm ,   NL Amsterdam   (10.24.13)
because when Israel attacks as I am quite sure it will one day and perhaps really soon...there's no telling what would happen. And the US would get involved in no time....It could ignite the whole already volatile region. In short it could be disastrous. With all Israeli bravoura I don't think this would be a relatively simply bomb from the air affair and I also don't think Iran will refrain from retalliation.
16. The US accept and Israeli attack ?!
DT ,   TA Israel   (10.24.13)
Screw the U.S. Look what the U.S did over North Korea,Syria evesdropping on all their allies. The U.S is a paraiah!
17. Of course Kerry did not persuade Netanyahu!
ex-frummie ,   Johannesburg S.A.   (10.24.13)
Nor did he persuade the Saudi's because both 'allies' can see right through the ruse the U.S. is orchestrating. Due to technological advances, the distance between Iran & the U.S. gets shorter by the day. Lets hope this does not come back and bite the U.S. on the ass a few short years from now. Hopefully Israel will not wait too long to protect her people from the existential threat that is Iran.
18. To: No. 1
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.24.13)
Oh, please! How effective was the United States in Somalia? I seem to recall that a handful of poorly armed barefoot warlords made the United States turn and run like stripe-assed monkeys. Don't worry. Israel will deal with the issue. The American people have enough on their plate with the current idiot in the White House. Turn your attention to that .... you may wish to start with his place of birth (hint, hint). The United States is a dying mammoth. Military, medical and technological know-how and innovation is firmly seated in Israel. Oh well. That's what you get for voting for a functionally illiterate Kenyan with no credentials worthy of the job he holds. Neighborhood organizer? I mean, REALLY! And you wonder why no one takes the United States seriously?
19. TO NO 1 CAMERON
DANNY LOFTY ,   ENGLAND   (10.24.13)
CAMERON YOU POST A LOT OF RUBBISH GODBYE
20. to #1, does it matter
worried wally   (10.24.13)
the scary thing is that obama & his liberal cohorts are like autistic 4th graders playing with a chemisrty, fire & alcohol without water.
21. Simple: US economy in shambles.
Nora Tel Aviv   (10.24.13)
No one can force Obama to spend US lives and US $ in those difficult domestic times. That`s why all Obama internationally does is lip service.
22. IRAN
DANNY LOFTY ,   ENGLAND   (10.24.13)
IRAN SOON TO HAVE ITS NUCLEAR SITES BOMBED, PERHAPPS SAUDI ARABIA MAY EVEN HELP ISRAEL.. INSHALLAH
23. Obama and Kerry - the Usefull Idiots are always to late !
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (10.24.13)
Thoose Idiots doesnt understand ,the Israels and Saudis conserns, that it is the Policy of Obamas Usefull Idiocy regarding Iran the last five years, that is the Cause. Obama and now Kerry has always had another opinion about Iran than Israel and Saudiarabia., and they has always been wrong. Israel and Saudiarbia has been forced to cooperate and leave the US idiocy behind, since the Idiot Obama thought that He understands the Mideast better than them. Now the only possibility the US has is, to let Israel and Saudiarabia be the Cheftains regarding Iran, and the US obeying their Orders, and even it the US does, its History in the Mideast is over. Arn.Sweden.
24. BUT YOU MADE NO ATTEMPT.........#18
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (10.24.13)
To comment when USA was about to attack Syria...............when it comes to receiving annual shipment of American tax payers paid arms you tend to keep quiet.Now you envisage Israel taking care on its own?You are indeed a joke.Your strong words in these coloumns hardly please anyone anymore because the same usage of words since 2007. Indulge yourself in something more lucrative for a change.
25. Confusion
Madeleine ,   Israel   (10.24.13)
Robert M. Danin, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign "Relations and Middle East expert says “There is a lot of confusion and lack of clarity amongst US allies in the Middle East regarding Washington’s true intentions and ultimate objectives." " This sums up Obama and his cohorts most succinctly. Israel will find its allies where it needs them.
26. peace
john ,   toronto   (10.24.13)
I am talking of a different D DAY. Not the one of war.
