Netanyahu: Israel is Iran's first target, but not its last

"Iran arms, funds, and controls them; so, essentially, it is, dear" An essential difference, dear.

"Most people except the US, Russia, China, the EU, Saudi Arabia, the UN, etc, etc." I live in America and I haven't noticed anyone saying Iran is a threat to us...

"Most people are not listening to these hysterical claims (that Iran is a huge threat))" (Silvienne) Most people except the US, Russia, China, the EU, Saudi Arabia, the UN, etc, etc.

"You can`t even a poorly armed bunch of Palestinians from firing rockets" Aha! How true...now, Palestinian women and children, those they can handle..

"Iran arms, funds, and controls them; so, essentially, it is, dear" In your opinion, ducky.

If needed, the US can and will defend Bahrain. It's the home of 5th Fleet. Its disappointing that both Iran and Israel have met the open hand of the US with the closed fist of belligerency.

"Iran has never attacked anyone and has been a peaceful nation and a stabilizing factor in the region for as long as it has existed." - Joseph Steinberg Not true, the last time Iran (Persia) invaded another country was in 1856 when it briefly invaded Afghanistan.

for israel has over 200 nukes, and it is drawing the whole planet into confrontation which will lead us into WWIII, i garauntee you, after that, no more israel.

Iran created Hezballah. It butchered hundreds of US and French Marines in Lebanon just three years after 1979. Iran likewise butchered its own children sending them to be living minesweepers on the thousands. It butchered Jews in Argentina, in 1992 and 1994, and butchered them further by arming, funding and training the terrorist sects Hamas, Islamic Jihad and even the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades and the PRC. They have killed more than a thousand Israelis and wounded many more in suicide bombings inside Israel. They are responsible for each rocket and missile they have given Hezballah, Islamic Jihad and Hamas, which these terrorist sects have shot on Israeli civilians indiscriminately from both Lebanon and Gaza. They have armed, funded and trained the Mehdi Army and the Badr Brigades in Iraq, which have killed Britons, Americans and Iraqi civilians, mostly sunnis and Kurds. They are funding and arming, sponsoring and trainig the Howthi shiite guerrillas in northern Yemen. Need more?

Bahrein won't be nuked. Iran threatens to annex it. You don't nuke what you consider your own province, but who you consider your enemy.

And its goal is to to be regional power, immune from attack by other powers. Remember the 1953 anti-democratic revolution orchestrated by the US and UK, and friendly with Israel (not that the mullahs turned out to be better than the Shah!). Nukes confer immunity immunity to existential attack. Iran sees the US invade two countries on its borders, and sees the writing on the wall. Imagine how nervous Israel would feel if China were occupying both Labanon and Egypt. Whether or not you like the mullahs, you must recognize that they think rationally.

...now I know that Geroge W. Bush junior is dumber than a box of caol, yet Bibi has shown that his IQ must even be lower. Just ask yourself, if and when Iran ever gets "the bomb", say Iran launches a nuke strike *anywhere* it's just as likely to not be Israel, what do you suppose the reaction would be? If Israel retained its nukes, and I believe it would, then Iran would be no more. If Israel did not retain its nukes, then the good ol' USA would nuke Iran and it would be no more. So when Bibi tries to scare other countries by implying they would be next - he's a big honking liar. There's nothing new there. The man is destroying Israel and you folks seem content about it.

"Not the same thing as Iran attacking others..." Iran arms, funds, and controls them; so, essentially, it is, dear.

It is amazing how some people can be blinded to the reality simply because of their hatred for Israel (Jealosy ?) Just take the trouble to study the Iranian individuals involved (and espescially Ahmadinejad) and what they believe they have to achieve and then OPEN YOUR MINDS . The facts are staring you in the face,. Do NOT be part of the problem. IRAN IS A MAJOR THREAT and it is clearly visible except to those that do not want to see.

"Via Hamas and Hezbollah, dear? You know, its proxies and stuff" Er no... Please tell us all about it...

"Iran is a rogue nation that threatens the entire planet...Iran is a huge threat to all free people of the world and threatens all of humanity....Iran is the biggest threat to global security in the world currently and wants to bring a nuclear holocaust to the planet in the name of Jihad." Sure, that's why their building universities, infrastructure, hospitals, investing in Nuclear Medicine etc...

"If Iran gets the bomb Bahrain, and not Israel, will cease to exist" Then it won't belong to anyone. BTW when did Iran say it was going to try or even want to get Bahrain back? "We can handle a nuclear Iran." You can't even a poorly armed bunch of Palestinians from firing rockets.

Chris, you are seemingly naive to think Al Queda is a threat. Al Queda is a small group of Islamic extremist back by the Saudis and Bin Laden is mostly likely dead from liver complications as reported by French Security. Yamach Zichron veh Sschmo. I have Iranian friends both Muslim and Jewish whom do not feel free at all while living in Iran. The religious police are prevalent and the fear of Iranian secret police is serious if one is not living up to Sharia law and/or is suspected of being politically active. I am shocked that a self professed freedom fighter like yourself would defend Iran. In your hatred for Israel how do you find it so easy to suspend all moral judgment, compassion, and humanity so easily?

Iran has never attacked anyone and has been a peaceful nation and a stabilizing factor in the region for as long as it has existed. The US and Israel, on the other hand, have a long sordid history of attacking, invading and occupying other countries and have been destabilizing the region for decades in their quest to control the regions oil and other natural resources such as water.

"Via Hamas and Hezbollah, dear? You know, its proxies and stuff" Not the same thing as Iran attacking others, and since 1979, it hasn't. Dear.

"Iran is a huge threat to all free people of the world and threatens all of humanity" You'd like us to believe that for Israel's benefit, of course. But hard luck. Most people are not listening to these hysterical claims.

Which also means the US, Britain and some other European countries are included in such a war. Iran supplies weapons to Hamas and Hezbollah, the same way as the countries mentioned above supply to Israel. Peace

"Since 1979, how often has Iran attacked others?" Via Hamas and Hezbollah, dear? You know, its proxies and stuff.

Actually that is where Israeli and the rest of Planet Earth's opinions diverge. As Planet Earth actually think Ozzy Bin Laden and the Al Qaeda mob are the biggest existential threat to Planet Earth. Even Iran agree with this and have been co-operating in the fight against al Qaeda in Afghanistan. Just because Israel says something does not mean that Planet Earth automatically agrre with what Israel says. Fact is Iran is beginning to move in a way to satisfy the International Community. Netanyahu realises this means we will be happy with Iran enriching Uranium to 4% to power their reactors. Netanyahu is trying to give Israelis the impression that he is actually leading the way. When in fact nothing is further than the truth. Israel will be told when it happens, meanwhile there will be no bang bang in Tehran.

Iran is a huge threat to all free people of the world and threatens all of humanity. Iran is the biggest threat to global security in the world currently and wants to bring a nuclear holocaust to the planet in the name of Jihad.

Time to be real, since 1979 how often has |iran invaded or attacked neighbouring states? And compare that with Israel?

There is no way the British electorate will allow their politicians to lead us into a war with Iran. We have been at war for 8 years we are not in the mood to start another one. Whatever the Israeli lobby in the UK tries to persuade our MP's otherwise. The British public are pragmatic enough to realise that Mutually Assured Destruction works.

Obama may not have fallen for it, but his administration, especially Clinton, have already 'fallen for it' (as have a sizable proportion of US citezens who still remain largly ignorant regarding Iran). Obama is currently in China, so hopefully Obamas 'loan managers' in the Chinese government will refuse to pay for another US war (and also stop buying worthless dollar assets which allows the US to continue existing wars). Maybe, just maybe, all this stupid and dangerous talk of attacking Iran will stop.

A preventive strike against a declared genocidal Iran should not be postpones. A nuclear Iran has become an increasingly contentious issue as Ahmadinejad will not have any moral consideration keeping him from using the atomic bomb. A preventive strike against a declared genocidal Iran, will be a severe blow to world terrorism and will reduce significantly our problems with the terrorist state of Syria, the Hizbullah and Hamas. It will also remove the threat of a nuclear missile attack on Europe, Russia, China and India. The population in the West, as well as in the other peace loving countries will feel safer again.

If Iran gets the bomb Bahrain, and not Israel, will cease to exist. We can handle a nuclear Iran. Bahrain is the country with the most to fear since Iran considers it part of it's territory and if they think they can keep the US from intervening (and a nuke goes a long way in that respect) they will take any excuse they find or make up to "liberate" the Shia population in Bahrain.

It is in Bibi's interest to make us all believe Iran is a danger to everyone in the world. It is especially in his interest to make America believe that. Let's hope Obama doesn't fall for Bibi's Bush-like scaremongering...
