1. US should bomb it and blame it on israel
zionist forever   (09.03.19)
In this case the US should do the job and then let Israel take the blame to avoid any diplomatic problems.
The US is closer, they have all the hardware needed, Iran is an enemy of America, Iran is trying to destbilise Iraq and its a fact it would be a much more complicated operation for Israel to carry out if they wanted to destroy the place rather than just do some damage which will be repaired.
2. after flareup, israel achieved all of its goals
mark   (09.03.19)
this is what netanyahu said about the recent flareup-Israel achieved all of its goals. it acted with sagacity and deliberateness. who talks like this.
,
Hezbollah has 15000 rockets, some of which are precision, it has a big plant under construction, it has russian kornet rockets which israel refuses itself to order from Putin to figure it out t. To this, bibi said he achieved all of his goals.

was i born yesterday?? Bibi is a military ignoramus. if he wiped out precision missiles and the plant associated, then he could talk. he is trying to stay out of jail where he knows he is headed. even if there were no looming indictments, bibi doesn't know what he is doing when it comes to the military. the idf in my opinion should have assigned to press and nothing else. nasrollah is far more believable than bibi.

in the face of iranian and hezbollah threats, gantz proposes a referendum withdrawal from parts of west bank. unbelievable

there should be no talk of any of the kind. Israel should never r give up the high ground regardless of what some generals say

you want never again-then hold the high ground and vote for real leaders who will defend the state and take the bloody offense for a change.

barkat, galant, saar, bennett, shaked and others would be far better than bibi and galant.

70 years after the catastrophe, Israel has leaders scared to take the real offense. you israeli voters are responsible for this. vote for leaders with some guts.
3. no worry! fake Benassi assures us Iran's a "paper tiger"
Rafi ,   US   (09.03.19)
... while safely sitting removed from the scene in his Brooklyn basement pumping out bravado & right-wing vitriol under an assumed identity...
4. SYRIA IS MAJORITY SUNNI! HOW CAN THEY ALL BE OK WITH THIS?
Iranian Jew ,   LALA LAND   (09.04.19)
Over 400,000 people killed so these idiots act like warriors that won win anything. The prize money is Israel and Syria will keep suffering everyday
5. Iran is indeed a Paper Tiger. Keeps trying and fails vs IL.
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (09.03.19)
6. Paper Tiger Iran won't admit Mossad sabotaged its launch pad
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (09.03.19)
7. This base for stationing Persian troops or just Hez lackeys?
Cameron   (09.04.19)
8. if Iran's just a paper tiger why is it #1 priority of IDF?
Rafi ,   US   (09.04.19)
In fact Iran's been #1 strategic priority of Israel for almost three decades, subject of countless planning sessions, and object of tens of billions of $'s in defense spending.

A lot of effort & spending for a "paper tiger".... Indeed ask any IDF commander how much of a "paper tiger" Iran actually is.

Unless of course you're fake Benassi, hawking arrogant & ignorant delusions - while safely removed from the consequences.
9. Rafik the Arab brain cannot see the forest from the tree
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (09.04.19)
10. "paper tiger" Iran...
Rafi ,   US   (09.05.19)
... has a land area of 636,400 sq miles vs. Israel's 9,000. (Seventy times larger than Israel in land mass!)

... has a population of 81 million vs. 6.5 million Jews in Israel (more than twelve times larger than Israel).

... retains a very large force of infantry & conventional missiles, and is on the cusp of gaining nuclear weapons.

... is a regional power, successor to Persia and its ancient empire, historically a far more cohesive entity than the Arab world.

Only a complete a... hole - such as the right winger demagogues here - would suggest that such an entity is a "paper tiger".

No one of responsibility in Israel would make such an arrogant & ignorant claim.
11. Rafik the Arab and Paper Tiger Iran scratch each other back
