Peres: Iran seeks to take control of Mideast

nonsense of futile actions.

I am always telling Israelis the truth is right before their eyes- in their officials' statements they just have to invert them. Still, it is amazing how the apologists fail to do this and be- come mouthpiece for Israeli propaganda... I know I never believed a word that came out of Bush mouth's and little wonder today no publisher will print his memoir. Although , in fairness he wasn't the worst offenders. I would put Israeli spokesmen in that category and Dick Cheney & Company. Dutch

Love all the judeofascist talk, Makes me feel like I am in a bad neighborhood in New York. Soon all of Israel's neighbors will have nukes. Radioactivity, the clean killer, never biased. It will kill all, russian, dutch, druse, indian, israeli,..etc It doesn,t care who your God is or isn't. It just kills. No nukes in the Middle East would be best. "I can have them and you can't.", isnt going to work much longer.

Germany can cancel a sale here and there, but that doesn't change the fact that it considers relations with Iran its most important relationship in the Middle East. Most recently Germany sold to the Iranian regime advanced systems to monitor all internet communications. I know Iranians who are boycotting Nokia-Siemens for that reason.

The Israeli government wants to control the Middle East, in particular, be the broker and middleman for Middle East oil.

#7 - Yesef, you summarized the performance of western double standard actions very well. Impotent (in front of Iran) israel and western country will be fighting last WW3 if they attack Iran, they know this best and that why blah..blah..hunking...punking...chunking...and lastly sucking.....

This coming from an Israeli president must mean a lot. Iran wants to control the ME as opposed to Israel? What a joke.

Natalie, you are totally wrong but the censors will not allow me to reply.

Peres tells us that Iran will take control of the Mideast. Yet reality tells us a very different story. The United States sought to take over the Mideast under George W. Bush. With great fanfare and incredible propaganda we were all told that first we would conquer Iraq, establish over a dozen bases from which we would dominate the region and then expunge Islamic Iran and Syria. This was delusional and led to a war which the USA lost. Israel could not have even invaded Iraq, nor can it invade Iran. Yet Iran is weaker than either the US or Israel. How can it 'take control' of the Mideast? Peres is spreading insanity, the depraved crap void of any substance or credibility. I think the master which Netanyau seems to aspire to and Peres imitates should be cited. "The art of leadership... consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention." - Adolf Hitler

Israel leads the World in UN Violations, and their Nation has been officially investigated by Interpol for Child Organ Trafficking. Now they use newspeak to accuse others of that which they themselves are guilty of..... Gotta love it.

"2 things 1- The phrase preventing peace with the Palestinians; i think the settlers are the ones who are preventing peace with the pals." - Confused The Israeli right is in total accord with the Settlers, indeed the Settlers are a creation of Likud. "2- Iran is already in control of the streets in the Mideast and is just waiting for those streets to overthrow their governments." - Confused Iran is not in control of anything but Iran. It has two allies on Israel's borders, but those allies weak and not entirely beholden to Iran. They are making far better use of Iran than Iran is of them. Forget the 'Arab Street," I've been hearing about it for over 50 years and it has always had the effect of a wet firecracker.

"The purpose of the NPT was to stop nuclear proliferation." - Natalie And how many NPT states have developed nuclear weapons? I know you lust for an Iranian bomb which you wish would be immediately dropped on Israel Natalie. But I don't think the Iranians suffer from your malevolence. Israel can retaliate and is far to useful for propaganda. I have a very good knowledge of nukes and what they can do. I don't want to see anymore nuclear powers and wish the two nations which have insane quantities of weapons, the USA and Russia will reduce them. I am not so much concerned that Iran is going to build a bomb as it will create a 'breakout capability.' Japan has that capability, and so do several others which decided to not develop nukes after pursuing programs. You lust for nuclear war because you have not a clue about what nuclear weapons do to people. Real people, not the forked-tail, horned, Israelis of your fevered imagination.

We have all seen what Israel has done since it has had hegemony in the region. It has been nothing but constant conflict.

The "World's Center Of Terror"? Peres seems to be lost, he meant to say I$rael is the center of ...err, terror! And it's Tel Aviv that will never let there be peace with Palestine. Along with their puppets like America and Britain. The audacity of the likud knows no end...

Chancellor Angela Merkel, and President Shimon Peres. I think forged a good working relationship with mutual understanding & respect. Germany has come a long way from those Dark Ages when the beast incased in the human body & mind ruled supreme.

How disapointing mr. Shimon

Of course. And Sadaam had nuclear centrifuges the size of washing machines scattered throughout the Iraq countryside, according to bibi and the all exalted Israel intelligence Cry me a river

I understand that israel does not want any competetion in middle east but to call Iran center of terror that is just moronic ,although iranian regime acts stupid in many aspects Iran is not center of terror far from it ,pakistan saudi arabia ,yemen(our allies in middle east) are center of terror to deny this fact is just plain stupid.

Cause as far as I know all those states may have provided some Money to well, as you call them "Terrorist Groups" We call them "Resistance Groups". When America provides Israel with 15 Billion a year, it's never funding state Terrorism is it? And what about support to dissident groups who actually kill people in nations OTHER than Israel. Quite strange Peres as taken this viewpoint.

The real concern isn't that Iran will nuke Israel. It's that Iran wants to expand its influence, and will emerge as a rival power in the Middle East. But it is necessary to sell it to the world as "Iran will nuke Israel" from a propaganda perspective.

"Iran seeks to take control of Mideast" - Peres The national insanity has spread to old Peres. This is the same sort of raving we saw before the Bush's failed attempt to conquer Iraq. There is no force in the region which can 'take control of the Mideast.'

"weapons of mass destruction" where have we heard that one before and who are Israel to criticize anyone on violation of Security Council resolutions

you got that right. have you checked Hamas' Charter. I think you are very naive

The purpose of the NPT was to stop nuclear proliferation. In other words, the nations that had nuclear weapons had a vested interest in stopping their spread. Not a bad idea as far as it went, BUT.... At least three nations that are not signatories to the NPT have nuclear weapons. All three of those nations are embraced as American allies with no penalty for having developed nuclear weapons and no downside to not signing the NPT. What then is the point to the NPT? What is the downside to any of the signatories pulling out? The NPT is defunct. The only nation that seems to care is Israel, a non-signer, who has become a cheerleader for the compliance of others.

and is becoming weaker everyday. It is not a choice of who dominates the middle east, Iran or Israel. Israel is afraid she is no longer a dominant force in the area, and is losing work opinion and support. The EU and the US are fed up with her tricks. Game Over Israel. You are being exposed everyday.

Has anyone seen Baraka the movie. How can one culture except a dictator like Suddam Hussein call for the absolute destruction of Israel. Really at this time I think Irans senators and congressman would keep the President of Iran from becoming another Saddam Hussein. Matter of fact since the chemical attacks were on Iran from Iraq I am sure he will not hatemonger the world. He is intelligent and traveled seeing the variations of life among the people. Has anyone walked among their people in just everyday life seeing the babies. Look at the shoreline of Eygpt and see the shoreline of India. These people need our help but they have lived like this forever. We have fancy clothes and fancy cars but when it comes down to it we bath in the same water recycled reworked on a different shore as it has been forever. Let us think brother hood instead of hate. Jew Catholic Christian Muslim Islamic Jihadist we share the same drop of water some time and lived on. Rankoo-Karoon

violations of human rights is treated with McCarthyite methods, such as the attacks against Heidemarie Wieczorek-Zeul and Herman Dierkes. When President Shimon Peres lands in Berlin, an honest person should not lavish him with automatic praise, but ask, politely yet firmly, why he has been a member or a senior propagandist for Israeli governments which have used cluster munitions , flechette artillery shells and white phosphorus bombs in densely populated civilian areas in Gaza and Lebanon, have built more settlements in the OPT and have imposed separate legal systems for Israeli settlers in the OPT and their Palestinian neighbors. One can also ask him why he authorized the kidnapping and ill-treatment of an Israeli citizen in Rome (Mr. Mordechai Vanunu, September 1986), a clear violation of international law, and why it should be acceptable for one state in the Middle East to acquire nuclear weapons, a situation which necessarily brings about a dangerous arms race in this volatile

Shimon Peres Does Not Speak for Us! Shimon Peres Does Not Speak for Us ! We are writing this letter as Israeli citizens. Some of us are 1st, 2nd or 3rd generation Holocaust survivors, and we are all activists who are pursuing peace and justice for everyone in our troubled region. We wish to express our concern regarding Germany?s Middle East policy, which is harmful and immoral. Our appeal also regards the upcoming visit of Israeli president Shimon Peres to Germany this week. While it is certainly justified to condemn and act against attacks on innocent Israeli civilians, it is morally unacceptable that German decision-makers consistently ignore, or even defend, Israeli attacks on innocent civilians, which inflict a much higher number of casualties, mostly in Lebanon and in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT). Furthermore, we are concerned about a climate of fear in German politics, when moderate and well-founded criticism of severe Israeli violations of h

2 things 1- The phrase preventing peace with the Palestinians; i think the settlers are the ones who are preventing peace with the pals. 2- Iran is already in control of the streets in the Mideast and is just waiting for those streets to overthrow their governments.

"Why is the EU humoring Israel over Iran?" - Natalie There is a general desire to get Iran back into FULL compliance with the NPT and it's Additional Protocols. That is not 'humoring' Israel which wants America to destroy Iran for it.

"Israeli nuclear submarines delivered by Germany" - lew Weinberg Sorry Lew, the Dolphin class is a conventional diesel-electric design (SS) and not a nuclear submarine (SSN). I know that Iranian and Israeli propagandists like to call them 'nuclear' but they are not.

The politicians are rubbing their hands with glee over the arms sales the US just finalized with Taiwan. While in Bejing, the politicians are fuming. I just hope Obungler hasn't screwed any chance of sanctions.

August, September, October and November too. 2011 will also be a big year for Iran. Also 2012-2018. 2019 might be an especially decisive year. blah blah blah

I have written before about the rumors in Lebanon, that during the next war, Hezbollah will invade Northern Israel. Now there are rumors that there are tunnels running from the south all the way to Israel towns. All of a sudden the Israeli will find Hezbollah fighters amongst them. Please find these tunnels and destroy them and may God give you victory over your enemies.

Various EU nations are making a show over supporting sanctions against Iran because this is all that they are willing to do. When it comes time to fly and bomb, no EU nation will join or support Israel. As for sanctions.... When America invaded Iraq, they found unopened crates of weapons and ammunition from France and Germany, which were sold to Iraq during the boycott.

seriously!!

Go IRAN Go no body can stop you of being a strong contry in this earth unlike arab contries bending their nee to the west for technologie

The Iranian dictatorship has consistently denied the Holocaust as well as the fact that it is seeking nukes. Tony Silver, on the other hand, celebrates both.

Dear Tony, here is for your information: http://www.sullivan-county.com/id3/denmark.htm I suspect though that you are yourself part of this problem which blown out of proportion in Denmark since these articles were published. Now, I do understand that you were busy to learn hatred not history of nuclear arms development, and totally missed the time nukes were developped in Russia, China.

It never ceases to amaze me when freak shoes likw this come out form under their ignorant shelters to bark at the world and specifically at Israel. Tony, where were you when the palestinians ref=jected peace and fired rockets into Israel? Where were you when Israel offered more than they ever dreamed of, yet Arafat rejected peace again? Why don't you stop your ignorant, uneducated rants and read a book for once?

In Israel before condemning German companies delivering weapons to Iran, one should remember, that Germany delivered (for free!) more than seven advanced military submarines with the possibility to launch nuclear warheads. Germany paid for them as a Holocaust reconciliation act. Do not start anti-German sentiment therefore please.

Pesach will come and go but the threat of sanctions will continue. It is obvious that the U.S. and Europe mean it this time. I am sure the Iranians are quaking in their boots at the thought.

Time to face the facts - Iran's going to have nuclear capacity sooner rather than later. This endless dialogue about sanctions isn't going to stop them. There are many countries who do not share the U.S./Israeli vision of an Israeli nuclear monopoly in the region - Chian and Russia for example. And Israeli bluster about it attacking on Iran alone is just embarassing. We seen how Hezbollah spanked the IDF. It doesn't bear thinking how much damage Iran could inflict if attacked.

When is ISRAEL going to acknowledge it HAS NUCLEAR WEAPON? And that it used URANIUM in south Lebanon attack?. Finally when this TERRORIST STATE will open its plants to INTERNATIONAL INSEPECTION?. ISRAEL CAN NOT continue to act as a vandals defying the international legality. ISRAEL HAS HAD A NUCLEAR MONOPOLY in the region for several decades. You cannot hide or ignore the truth, the double standards, of Israel's nuclear capability forever.

China oppressed its people and was "allowed" to have Nukes. The former Soviet Union oppressed its people and was "allowed" to have many nukes. Israel tormented and still torments the Palestinians and was "allowed" to have nukes. India and Pakistan were also "allowed" to have Nukes. And Iran will be allowed to have Nukes, even if all Jews in the world commit suicide.

Bluster as she will Germany has no impact on the sanctions issue. Would suggest paying very close attention to the positions of Russia and China.

You have one month to reply...October is the deadline...December is the last date for response...and now February HAHAHA...Talk the talk or Walk the Walk...enough bla bla bla...time for actions suckersssssssssssss

... hanging on their motherland and force open their door to clean house, as the loud knocks to question the numerous odorous thoughts, words, and deeds seeping out and contaminating the neighborhood have gone unanswered.

Iran nuke and missile program buys LOTS of R&D from german companies

unlike the muslims, jews have freedom of press. Of course Haaretz will post. Whats wrong ? you dont like that the world is closing in on Iran Long overdue !!!!

My dear Mrs.Merkel. I am not sure my response will reach you but kindly take my advice to be more humble about international affairs. As somebody coming from country responsible for 2 World wars that brougt misery to millions and inumerable dead and country that strived to nuclesr weapon in purpose to subdue others untermench your fervour is not in place.

get ten years supply of baked beans and brush up on the Koran just in case.
