Other than racism or religious bigotry, I see no justifiable reason either historical or otherwise that Iran is making threats to destroy Israel, they are not arab nor are they physically near Israel.

only 4 of the 57 muslim nations on this planet recognize the one jewish state of israel. It is simple intollerance and hatred. IN the case of iran, it is a theocratic dictatorship, that diverts its peoples attention from their dire prediciment and living conditions and makes an enemy of of a small nation over 1000 miles away

Nothing will happen.  Yes, that's right absolutely nothing.  All countries in that Region and many parts of the world just want to put up a perceived threat of retalliatioin of if you mess with them.  They see Isreal with Nuclear weapons, so they just want a deterant as well.  I mean run through the scenario, Iran attacks Isreal with a nuclear weapon, Isreal retaliates and deystroys Iran.  Other countries attacks Isreal again, Isreal attacks them.  These people aren't dumb.  They know that if they attack someone, they'll have severe cosequences.  India and Pakistan haven't destroyed each other yet.   And besides, as soon as the Iranians get their nukes ready, the CIA will send in a team to assinate the Iranian leaders.  (That's if Isreal doesn't get to them first).

Hmm- which Palestine did Israel wipe out, since there has NEVER been a country called Palestine?\n\nAnd yeah- the media rightly let everyone know that the rteligious fanatic that rules Iran threatened genocide against a neighboring country- gotta wonder why that little fact doesn't bother you...

Because bothe US and Israel are run by and conrolled by the same people, and they think its ok for them to have all the power and Nuclear weapons .. while any other country is not allowed to have such power even if it's to defend itself.\neven if Iran isn't planning to use its nukes that won't stop the US from disarming it and everyone else! Double standards and hypocrisy and whatever lame excuses they can come up with to justify WAR with anyone who opposes them!!

My god what are they teaching in the schools these days. Some one said so what we have em, Israel has em..... \n Are you that stupid. If we let Iran have them, then they will end up on your lap one day when you go to eat dinner. That dude is a Nut ball and has already said that his plans is to take Israel off the map. After he takes out Israel where do you think he would attack next? Yes that's right, right here in the USA. Think its to big of a job for him. Well maybe, only because we already took out Iraq(which you probably was against as well)and The Taliban. Good grief what is wrong with you people, Don't you know what a Nuke is. There are to many in the world already and if we let anyone else have them then its that much more of a threat. Especially some mental case. Go USA. I still live here. If you don't like it then move over with them. Be decent for once, Support your president and your country. I still love this place. You should to.

it's impossible to speak of Zionist aggression without someone whipping out the Anti-Semitic card.  Also, if you notice, preceding any major push by the Israeli army, we Americans are inundated with reminders of the Holocaust.  It's a horrible fact of history that these Jews were mercilessly killed by the Nazis. But that does not give the Zionists the right to commit genocide against an entirely different population.

Hello?  Israel is our ally.  They need nukes for protection. Iran wants to annihilate them and us.

"Iran's new president created a sense of outrage in the west yesterday by describing Israel as a "disgraceful blot" that should be "wiped off the face of the earth". Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who is more hardline than his predecessor, told students in Tehran that a new wave of Palestinian attacks would be enough to finish off Israel."\n\n"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday lambasted Israel and Zionism and quoted the late Ayatollah Khomeini calling for Israel to be "wiped out from the map.""\n\n"A day after drawing international condemnation for declaring that "Israel should be wiped off the map," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad joined an estimated several hundred thousand demonstrators in an annual anti-Israel march that made clear his words are a time-honored slogan in Iran."

I am not anti-semetic, however Isreal is using the same genocidal tactics against the indigenious people of the area they have conquested, that were employed upon them by the Nazi's in WWII. The Jewish state had not been in existance for 2,000 years, then one day they arrive in force and begin seizing land and killing off the people of the land. They should be included in the axis of terror, however becasue of the Judeao-Christian influence in America they are considered to be full filling the biblical phrophecy. I reject the Bible as does monst of the world as a work of historical fiction with over tomes of a superior race. What they are doing is racism,, it can not be excused.

If I had to pick one country, I'd support an attack on Iran. Iran is ruled by a fundamentalist theocracy that blatantly lends financial support to terrorists operating in Lebanon and in other countries around the globe. These terrorists pose a direct threat to U.S interests, both domestically and abroad.\n\nThe fundamentalist Iranian President has brainwashed the population into believing that the whole world is out to destroy Islam, and that leading this fight are the Americans. This, of course, doesn't make any sense, since there are millions of Islamic people currently living in the U.S peacefully.\n\nUnfortunately, the Iranians have soaked this propaganda up like fresh sponges, and they have concluded that America is "The Great Satan".\n\nIn a speech broadcast through all of Iran, and rebroadcast throughout the world, the Iranian President made a call for the destruction of Jews and the State of Israel. That sounds a little too much like Hitler for my liking. Notably, the Iranians also deny that the holocaust ever existed.\n\nIn this same speech the Iranian President Ahmadinejad declared, "Israel must be wiped off the map." This wasn't just an isolated event either; these hateful slogans are regularly used at government events to rally the people.\n\nOne of the reasons why the Iranians hate the U.S so much is that they view us as an impediment to their goals of destroying Israel. They know full well that the U.S would not allow them to destroy Israel, and so they are incapable of fulfilling this goal so long as the U.S is around.\n\nThat's why the discovery that Iran is cranking away on a nuclear development program is so scary. It's not hard to imagine that Iran would drop a nuke on Israel in a heartbeat, and probably send a few over to the U.S as well. They could never successfully invade Israel, but when you drop a nuclear bomb, it's all over in a few seconds.\n\nIran claims that their nuclear program is for "energy development only”, but I have news for you: The technology used for nuclear energy is not that different than the technology used for making nuclear bombs. Do we really want them to have nuclear reactors?\n\nThe good news is that the world powers are determined to stop Iran from getting this technology. Even countries that didn't support the invasion of Iraq have put their foot down on the Iran issue. I sincerely hope that we can resolve the issue diplomatically, but if not...

My personal analysis of that article is that Iran realizes that Israel is the protegee of the US so in a  way it's twisting the US's arm through Israel so that America will not declare war on Iran. Also if USA decides to attack Iran, it will probably use Israel as a base because it will be the only country to support this action in that region.\nI am not sure I answered your question, but I hope that helped.

because we always support the passive underdog...israel is not calling for the extermination of arabs..is it..???..if the arabs would go about their business without bothering israel or supporting terrorists that want to annihilate it, they might be able to get along better with us...why all this WE have to get along with THEM..?? getting along is a 2 way street

Because I think that they are perfectly aware that by the time the first bomb will reach the Iranian land,Israel will cease to exist...Iran has the capability to do this and both US and Israel are perfectly aware of this,otherwise they would have attacked Iran by now...And Israel never cared about world's opinion,so I doubt that they will start now caring about what others say...

The Isralies were retaliating for your Islamo-Fascist comrades shooting rockets into Israel. Didn't you hear, \n\nTHERE IS NO PALESTINIAN AIR FORCE. \n\nI SERIOUSLY DOUBT THEY HAVE TANKS. \n\nTHEY HAVE HOMICIDAL BOMBERS WHO ARE MAINLY WOMEN AND CHILDREN BECAUSE THE MEN ARE NOT BRAVE ENOUGH.

Israel is a lot less likely to be firing off nuclear weapons at their enemy-of-the-week than Iran is.  But who has the right to develope them and who doesn't - I don't know.   The US and the UN want to be the Police of the World, and that seems to cause more problems than it solves.

There is no Palestine.  The "Palestinians" want the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people.  They are a terrorist group.  What is Israel's problem with them?  Simple...they kill Israeli's and are trying to take the country away from the Jewish people.
