1. Israel responsible for missile strike on Hama base
lazerbenabba ,   London England   (05.01.18)
This is merely a microcosm of what the Mullahs of Iran may /can expect should they decide to tempt the Israeli tiger any further.
All their rhetoric amounts to nought when confronted with an Israeli nation determined to never again permit Jews to be the underdog.
Furthermore even with Tehran's media distortion, there are many Persians who know that the demise of the Mullah dictatorship will end if and when those besotted fundamentalists go to war.
2. Good job...keep whacking them across the mouth.

3. Name the 'US officials,' NBC.
David ,   Hartford USA   (05.01.18)
Either name the officials so we can find out the truth or stop making up stories. NBC has such dubious reporting that they will 'report' anything, including pipe dreams heard in the bathrooms and parking lots.

Now just imagine Iran attacks Israel from Syria because of this story. Israel retaliates, then Russia gets involved. All because NBC is trying to be important, which it never was and never will be.

So, one last time, NBC, which three people in government told you this? Because if Israel is attacked, these three people are in deep sh-t, as NBC will be for announcing it to the world.

the sovereign jewish state of israel will fight it to the death.
there is nothing that the cowardly sniveling europeans can
do about jews with a jewish army defending themselves.
9. NOPE! PROVE IT. THERE WAS NO ATTACK JUST LIKE THERE WAS NO
Iranian Jew ,   LALA LAND   (05.02.18)
gas attack in Syria, ever. It was an accident and Vladi has already replaced everything for free. I think this must be going through the minds of my idiot people mullah lovers right now.
10. Leave the US out of Israel's War Plans
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (05.02.18)
Trump is incompetent as Commander in Chief and may be out of office soon. Israel should not plan on the US Congress authorizing or paying for a war against Iran. The final say is in the US Congress.
11. Trump admin leaking Israeli secrets like Obama repeated?

14. lessons from history

Jews in Israel always have to have security as their number one priority given the neighborhood

when Jews were unarmed and stateless in Europe, we see what happened.

more recently the Kurd who had been fighting isis successfully submitted to Iraqi forces. they were divided on what to do. yet they had a chance at statehood. and given some heavy weapons training, they could have defeated the Iraqi forces. now look where they are.


so all this is known. yet we have israeli polliticans like lapid and gabbay, not offering defense ideas save for setting up a pal state. then all will be well.take your ticket to death chambers if you believe that.

Lapid is woefully unqualified in the security field,a press officer like olmert who did a lousy job managing the hezbollah war. he has no clue on security, and he is unable to differ with a general like in the gaza war where he sided with gantz and yaalon who were both harshly criticized by shapira. they were wrong and Bennett was right.yet some Israelis knowing this still put their trust in lapid and others.

differing with a general is important. when olmert, a security ignoramus regardless of what he says, was meeting with halutz, he was unable to tell halutz, you are wrong, an air campaign by itself without a significant ground attack will not defeat a dug in enemy loaded with thousands of rockets throughout Lebanese villages and homes. so lapid would be like olmert, without a clue and would not know how to read a general.

when begin was in opposition he mostly supported the govt on strong defense. lapid and gabbay don't do what begin did. they are a disaster for Israel. i cannot vote for any of the opposition.

Bennett is the natural leader of Israel. Lieberman, a tough unyielding defense minister who doesn't cave at the first of pressure should stay at defense. and a role has to be found for general galant who can prepare the country fully for war which is likely to come, a fight to the finish .bibi should step down.
