Chris, you're free to leave Germany whenever you want. If you don't, stop this silly whining.
8. A tip: As more you swing the nazi clup, as less people will
David ,   European Union   (02.25.14)
listen and take you serious! Im pretty sure the germans know about their historical responsibility! But there is no german guilt! The third reich was a full installed dictatorship, where a minority ruled a majority. The nazi Party NSDAP never received more than 40% of the votes and the elections have never been free, transparent and democratic to our today standards! It was a minority of germans chased jews not a majority! The ordinary german people had no option than to follow or get deported! Or you really think all north korean really love kim and hate americans? They have no choice to not follow..

Rich ,   Toronto, Canada   (02.25.14)
so she can get her Presidential Medal of Distinction Award. Germans are well trained followers, not leaders. They take the points of least resistance, and just go along with whoever is strongest. They are not people you can count on in a serious fight.
11. Did Merkel signed a deal about the...

Merkel should tell Netenyahoo that this is the last year for putting money into the bottomless pit. Enough is enough, time to move on, forgive and forget. That is what intelligent countries run by adults do.
13. Iran natural regional superpower, Israel a de-facto US State

14. it's now getting to the point...
Rob ,   Orangevale USA   (02.25.14)
that Israel should announce clearly to Iran and the world that if the Islamic nation wields, positions, stages, or test a nuclear weapon, that the Jewish state will destroy Iran with high yield atomic weapons immediately and let the chips fall where the may. This way there will be advance warning to the world. It doesn't matter if thew mullahs huff and puff as long as the message is crystal clear and meant to the letter. Enough bluster, threats and bullsh@t. Shalom Israel, rob
15. European
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (02.25.14)
The European DO NOT need to teach us lesson. You guys also lost the memory. Remember November 17, 1278 England. France: 1007 or 1009, 1278, 1941 Spain: 1492. Russia: 1880 So on. Nobody should open the mouth. After WWII Europe filled the void of Jewish population. by Islamic immigrant, please be ready for european califate before giving us lesson of some historic opinion excuses
16. Germany Iran's biggest EU trade partner
nadav ,   tlv   (02.25.14)
why is Germany Iran's largest trading partner in Europe?!!! Merkels is talking out of two sides of her mouth!
17. #12 "time to move on, forgive and forget."
A ,   Belgium   (02.25.14)
,as I am sure the Aboriginals have forgiven the white colonists, and forgotten the slaughter inflicted on them by your predecessors. Fire up the billybong, mate, time for another kick in your hypocritical head from your favorite 'roo!
18. # 14 Would you elaborate?
Daniel   (02.25.14)
Rob, are you seriously suggesting that to stop a country from potentially destroying another country with nuclear weapons, the first country should destroy the second country with nuclear weapons? Not very logic. Are you saying Iranian lives are less worth than Israeli lives, or how do you arrive at that truly bizarre conclusion?
19. Merkel claims Iran is not threat just to Israel
CJK   (02.25.14)
yet neither germany, nor the rest of the europeans, nor the pathetic obama regime are willing to confront the third rate military power of the shia terror regime. the entire west fears war much more than they fear a nuclear iran. the only country that is willing to strike the nuclear facilities of the shia terror entity is the jewish state of israel. should israel exercise her right to self defence against this vile, genocidal terror entity, the entire west will condemn her rather than thank her.
20. Iran not just a threat to Israel
Harold ,   USA   (02.25.14)
Any ME country that posses nuclear weapons is a threat to the world. The Middle East shouldf be free of nuclear weapons.
21. #20 Ynet should be free of you and your idiotic remarks
A ,   Belgium   (02.25.14)
I can't imagine from which hole you crawled out of, but most countries of the world, if clearly threatened with annihilation by another country, which is attempting to build these weapons of annihilation (even though you may think they are only raising strawberries), will do their utmost to prevent this annihilation from happening. Israel is threatened with annihilation by countries and terrorist organizations not only in the ME but all over the world, either blatantly, such as by Iran or Hamas, or more discreetly and quietly, such as through cyber warfare. And shouldn't the United States, of which you suspiciously claim to be a citizen of, is the ONLY country which has used nuclear weapons, and that in a NON- defensive situation, therefore be considered THE greatest threat to the world?
22. #21
Harold ,   USA   (02.25.14)
Warmonger like you is also a threat to the world. I again confirm my statement that the ME MUST BE FREE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS. Now you can bark more and more until you find that you are wrong. You are not a Belgian and I presume you are from Shithouse Island.
23. 1) Labeling settler products 2) Iran getting nuclear energy
Nuchosh   (02.25.14)
Why can't a Jew live in the State of Palestine? Why does she support Iran getting nuclear power when they could one day use the technology for weapons?
24. #16
Harold ,   USA   (02.26.14)
Yes Germany prefers trading with Iran more than Israel. You can find Iranian Pistachio Nuts anytime you travel to German. Iran has the best Pistachio Nuts in the world and the Israelis always like to have it.
25. #14
harold ,   USA   (02.26.14)
If Israel can do what you are saying they would have done it long time ago. Wise-up
26. #24 Iran can keep their nuts
Cynthia ,   USA   (02.26.14)
The best pistachio nuts are grown in California. Iranian pistachio crops suffer from seasonal fungus and the EU at times has banned Iranian pistachio nuts for this reason. Israel can buy pistachio nuts from the US, Turkey and other countries. They can also grow their own, collaborate with California growers and knock Iran out of the market.
27. #22 "I presume you are from Shithouse Island."
A ,   Belgium   (02.26.14)
Actually, as I was born in Chicago and educated through university in Illinois, I am something you will never be, an American, and I find your remark about my homeland disgusting and disrespectful, especially coming from someone who "claims" to be an American, but is obviously unable or incapable of learning the English language at a fundamental level. There is an expression in Hebrew: "Don't piss in the well you drink from", but I guess for you that's only natural.
28. #24 Germany just cancelled a $1.3 billion deal
A ,   Belgium   (02.26.14)
to buy U.S. made drones, they are now negotiating to buy them from Israel. Tell us, expert, how many billions of dollars worth of pistachios did Germany buy from Iran last year?
