Report: Sarkozy warns Israel may strike Iran over nuke threat

Lets rephrase that to reflect the truth: "Mossad asset and crypto-Hungarian Jew Sarkozy warns Israel may strike Iran over nuke threat". That sounds more like it doesn't it. And its a better translation than that "wipe Israel off the map" crap that Rita Katz's little operation made up.

Didn't Putin say any attack on Iran would be viewed as an attack on Russia...??? Is Israel willing to GAMBLE things will be O.K. with Russia..?? Russia could end life as it is now in Israel in half an hour... Remember Georgia..??

If sarkozy really had evidence then he would be talking about it at the u.n. rather than Israeli radio

Where's the beef, Mr Sarkozy ? Where's the evidence that Iran is developing nuclear weapons ? 16 US Intelligence Agencies say there's NO EVIDENCE. Iran has done nothing illegal. So, the UN sanctions are illegal.

because he's essentially stirring up the bee's nest with it... and one certainly has to wonder what his motives are for doing so.

ahmadinejad wasn't even refering to israel, or to jews... he refered to israel's "zionist regime" in his statement. the guy's a petty despot who i have absolutely NO use for... but there are alot more REAL reasons to condemn him, than something he said that's been purposely twisted and distorted into a direct threat against israel... which he NEVER made. the only threat he HAS made against israel is one of retaliation if it attacks iran... which in light of israel's not-so-veiled hints to that effect; is an understandable response.

The world has ignored and murdered the Jews for 2000 years.

MICHEAL YOU MADE A MISS QUOTE, THE EGYPTIANS HAVE KEPT THE PALESTINIANS IN CAPTIVITY,SINCE THE EARLY 1950,S AND I SHOULD KNOW BECAUSE I WAS THEIR, MICHEAL THE PALESTINIANS WERNT ALLOWED INTO PROPER EGYPT.BUT THEIR AGAIN YOU WOULDENT KNOW BECAUSE YOUR ONLY YOUNG, AND IM 74. THEY ARE KEPT THERE LIKE A PAWN IN A CHESS GAME. STUCK CANT MAKE A MOVE DO YOU UNDERSTAND.

#18 great response well said! #20 are you serious? you counter Michael's points by arguing what the definition of IS IS? If you don't understand Zionism and its affect on the Palestinians and the region, maybe you can start by studying American history and manifest destiny as justification for moving millions of native americans from their lands, and breaking treaty after treaty as an excuse to take more. History has judged this to be one of our darkest chapters. Recognizing rights for the Palestinian people to have a homeland is not a difficult concept. Go back to 1967 borders, two state solution, settlements evacuated. After that if Israel is STILL attacked and threatened were all behind you, until then stop acting surprised when the international community (and history) sees you as the aggressors.

First of all, this reminded me a great period, back in 2006, when everyone was condemning his statements, instead of saying Amen to everything. So thanks for this. Then, on his declarations, we all know very well this is being formal politics hypocrisy. He might aswell lie, right? On another side, financement of Hamas and Hizbullah cannot lie, and the wish for the one-state solution would let no Jew remain on this land. How is that not a genocide? And even if you can't acknowledge this, at least let's face it: 'he''s preparing an atomic bomb, that will be ready in 6 months (dare to bet?) and continues to broader his slaves' arsenals. Who cares about mistranslations, when you've got facts?

Unbelievable hypocrisy.

do you actually believe what you write ? You need to learn some facts 1. israel accepted partition in 1947-arabs declared jihad. 2. once again, in 2000 arafat said no. Go look at a map. There you will see who the colonialists are Its not about land silly. They will only be happy when Israel is destroyed.

keep dreaming. He has said it very clear for all. He also says 'there are no gays in Iran"

opportunity to miss an opportunity. Didn't they get control of Gaza from Sharon? And the day after the ethnic cleansing of all Jews from Gaza (Some lived there also 70 years ago) the Qassams started flying (the blockade came AFTER that, not before) And how about the Barak-Clinton offer in 2000? Did Arafat make a counteroffer or start a bloody Intifada? Back 90 years ago Winston Churchill said that the Palestinian delegation is not willing to compromise on 99% of their demands, they rather insist on 100%, even if that results in violence.

on day one of its existence? You say: "Ahmedinejad takes the view everybody in the region should have the same rights and that`s not an unreasonable point of view"... How is Iran treating Bahai? Kurds? Arab minority? Its own people who want democracy? Or does this give Israel the right to threaten to wipe Iran of the Map? Or to have the equivalents of Hezzbollah and Hamas harass Iran with terror attacks and threats? Or to blow up a crowded Moslem Community Center on a Friday in Argentina, the way Iran did to the Jewish community center? And my basic question, why do you, with Ahmedinejad, deny the Jewish/Hebrew speaking nation to have a right for self-determination? My family goes back in Jerusalem 200 years, and even then the Jews were the majority in Jerusalem. Many if not most Palestinian families came from other ME countries to Palestine in the early part of the 20th century, like the Israeli Jews who came from the same countries in the mid-century (forced out, to give th

I think too that "everybody in the region should have the same rights and that`s not an unreasonable point of view" But does that mean that Jews should have 22 states like Arabs do. Or Jews may have just a single state like Persians do? Where do you think Jews should "set out to build a political entity in somebody else`s backyard, as Zionism did"? In their tiny ancestrial homeland or set it out on somebody else backyard?

pity the israel populace held hostage by likud few adventurists willing to risk entire populace just to hold on to their own seats from a failed electoral process desperately in need of overhaul. that may be left holding the bag.

Look Eve, I've been to Israel, and I enjoyed my time there, so I have no wish to see Israel wiped off the map. However, if you set out to build a political entity in somebody else's backyard, as Zionism did, you have to expect that the locals aren't going to be very happy, and you have to take some responsibility for sorting out the resulting problems. Ahmedinejad takes the view everybody in the region should have the same rights and that's not an unreasonable point of view even if it makes Zionism difficult. I;m not a fan of Ahmedinejad, but equally I hate the fact that Israel has kept the Pals in captivity for over 40 years, with no sign of ever letting them go, and I don't like the way Israeli Arabs are second class citizens. If Zionism wants to survive it has to make more efforts to solve those problems. Right now, it makes almost none.

" Too many people do not know what Ahmadinejad really said, only what propagandists want them to believe he said." Except, YOU are the propagandist here, given that what Ahmadenijad really said was up on an Iranian news service, in English, for months before it was taken down.

"NEVER did Ahmadinejad call for Israels destruction" Except for the fact that he very clearly did.

"In his famous speech, which has been so misquoted and exaggerated " Of course, the Iranian news service which had the quote in front of everyone's face, in English, was misquoted. What a clown.

"Google search: "Wipe Israel off the map misstranslation read what was really said." It was on an Iranian news agency's web site in English (obviously, translated into English by the Iranian news service), and it was subsequently removed so gullible people will believe the "mistranslation" nonsense.

it, and that he has no wish or plan to destroy Israel? Just now Netanyahu denied any plans to attack Lebanon. Couldn't Ahmadenjad just clarify that he has no intentions to send a million Iranian soldiers to Jerusalem? Or...

TO STAND FOR "equal rights for everyone in the region". ARE YOU SERIOUS?

Sorry, Sarkozy has not said any of these words. Who reported them exactly please ? Or, perhaps, are they lying to us here in France. I swear, not a word in a newspaper!

Wiping Israel of the "map of time", meaning off History?

Your point is well made. Too many people do not know what Ahmadinejad really said, only what propagandists want them to believe he said. So, does Ahmadinejad really intend to attack Israel? If so. then the threat is very real. Or has the Israeli government misinterpreted Ahmadinejad's words and imagined an attack where one does not exist? There is a third possibility: If the Israeli government wants people to believe that Ahmadinejad intends to attack Israel and if they know this to be a lie, then the Israeli government is deliberately and cold-bloodedly provoking a war for their own purposes. Your choice! I don't know the answer either, although I do not believe Israel wants a war with Iran. But this I do know:: keeping silence and refusing to listen to one another only encourgages the problem to get worse. Self-righteous pride may kill us all yet!

I don't know why I'm repeating this. All of you Israelis would never admit that he didn't say this even if you spoke persian. But you can go anywhere on the net, wikipedia or youtube, and you will find plenty of proof that "Wipe Israel off the map" was a mistranslation, and I have a hard time believing that the mistranslation was intentional. Again, Ahmadinejad never called for the destruction of Israel and you can have a transcript of what he said on the internet. He said some horrible things like "equal rights for everyone in the region". Geez we couldn't let the world hear that!

Wanting a single state for Arabs and jews means another, 23rd Arab-moslem state and the wiping off of Israel from the map. And the Jews will be treated as well as the Bahais in Iran, right (All left or killed), Or as the Jews are treated in Syria, Iraq, Egypt and Yemen.

Who are these people who criticize Israel for waiting for so long before making the move to protect itself....no you're not going to see Israel wiped off the map

All in the first 3 headlines. What a peace loving country

yeah....you do need to say more. Whose hyprocracy, Iran's years of lying about what they are obviously trying to bring about ?

In his famous speech, which has been so misquoted and exaggerated that hardly any remember just what he did say, Ahmadinejad did not say that he would attack Israel. He did say that Zionism would destroy itself in time. If that is what he believes, then he has only to wait and do nothing. So! Is the Iranian threat real? Or is it imagined? These are the critical questions.

Israel wants to see an end to a just-for-Jews state in Israel that keeps Pals in semi-captivity. Iran supports a single state where Arabs, Jews and Palesntinians all live as equals.

Rodney, Please define "paranoia." If you think that paranoia is fear based upon fantasy, please persuade us that Iran has no designs against Israel's existence. In giving your analysis, please be sure to advise why Iran funds the military wings of Hezbollah and Hamas. If you believe that neither of those entities would act to destroy Israel if they could, please give us the reasoned basis for your belief.

Iran is fanatical, and a real danger to the western world. I say bomb every single military target of value, as well as Ahmadinejad himself. The world will be better off, especially the Palestinians, who need a more moderate backer.

need i say more?

Read what was really said. Iran is not a threat to Israel. Iranaphobia is based purely on paranoia.
