2. knee-jerk reaction to blame israel
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (05.26.06)
as if there is no one in lebanon who has anything but complete love and respect for these terrorists. just look at gaza where palestinians are shooting and killing each other. i suppose israel is behind all of that, too.
3. Looks Like Arab vs Arab Violence to Me

5. Israeli terrorism strike again
Muhammad-Ali ,   Montreal   (05.26.06)
Who else will be responsible?
6. Who other than Israel and her collaborators have an interest
Muhammad-Ali ,   Montreal   (05.26.06)
in that?
7. Confirmation by Syria
Arie   (05.26.06)
Now that we have heard that the "Islamic" Jihad leader did die - look at history in Lebanon: Car bombs are usually used by Syrian agents to do their deeds.
8. #5....OK!!!
DR ,   Florida, USA   (05.26.06)
Killing terrorists is not terror my ignorant friend. But siding with them really shows what kind of person you are...I'm sure Canadians all over are proud to have you in their country.
9. No tears for terrorists
Gilan ,   J'lem, Israel   (05.26.06)
These men were both terrorists dedicated to murdering Jews. If Israel didn't kill them we should have. Same goes for all leadership of Jihad, Hamas, Hizbollah and Fateh until those organisations stop their war to destroy us.
10. this is what happens when

you wink at the Syrian agent's wife during a planning session, inbetween hookah puffs
11. #5, I hope the FBI and RCMP
stefano ,   ny   (05.26.06)
have you under joint surveillance. Have you recently tried to cross the border? Anyway...long live St. Viateur Bagels!
12. The beloved Palestinian Arab serial murderers

You said "as if there is no one in lebanon who has anything but complete love and respect for these terrorists". It seems to me that you are completely ignoring the modern history of Lebanon as well as tarring a whole nation with a brush dipped in paint of your own colour. The fragmented Lebanese nation, like Israel, has deep communal splits. The fact that they are Arabs seems to have coloured your opinions to the point where you cannot believe that they might have shades of opinion. Of course, viewing your neighbouring countries in terms other than those of scorn and contempt is obviously something you are not prepared to do. It's so much easier to kill a few and then claim that the aftermath is simply caused by congenital Arab anger.
14. Enjoy Your Virgins, No Matter Who Blew You Up
Adina Kutnicki ,   US   (05.26.06)
Beautiful! Tzedek, tzedek tirdof. Without true justice there will never be true peace.
15. Response to Muhammad-Ali of Montreal
Kate ,   London   (05.26.06)
"Who other than Israel and her collaborators have an interest in that?" Certainly not the Islamofascists or their collaborators, members of the Muslim Fifth Column who reside in places like Montreal.
16. They won't be missed. Good Job, Israel!
Andy ,   USA   (05.26.06)
17. LIQUIDATE mushlum TERROR
James Stork ,   Dearborn, MI   (05.26.06)
anywhere and everywhere
18. to Muhammad Ali
David ,   Canada   (05.26.06)
Muhammad, perhaps you should read the news about what is going on all over the Arab and Moslem world. You will surley discover that arabs kill each other undiscriminately everyday. Moslems killing Moslems, Moslems killing Christians, Moslems killing Jews, Moslems killing their own brothers, fathers, daughters and sisiters. Moslems killing for the sake of killing, period. This should answer your question
19. This is what will be done to any enemy of Israel
Caligula's Horse ,   Solomon's Stables   (05.26.06)
Let every evil and murderous terrorist know that the long hand of Israel will reach him whenever he goes with his luxury Mercedes, let him know that he is living on borrowed time and that his worthless life are at Israel's hand.
20. enjoy the virgins!!!

21. #13, Rustum the Poet
James ,   Manchester   (05.26.06)
Despite scoring an 'A' in Literary Composition, you completely failed in every other subject that values accuracy and comprehension of current and historical events. Comparing Lebanese society to Israel's is absurd. "...tarring a whole nation with a brush dipped in paint of your own colour..." -Rostum 2006, Shakespeare Laureate Runner-Up Can anyone tell me what means even?
22. rustum, that's my point
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (05.26.06)
when hariri was killed, who was the first to be blamed? (in case you forgot, israel was blamed.) the divisions in lebanon are deep, which is why anyone who seriously wonders who killed an islamic jihad man might think first about the numerous possibilities there in his own neighborhood. maybe he sold some bad hashish and it was payback time, who knows? the fact is that anyone can kill anyone there and everyone knows that they can blame israel and it will automatically believed as credible, esoecially in the present state of semi-anarchy. i have nothing about arabs, even married one, so don't think that a little pointed criticism is the result of some sort of racism. no, the truth can hurt and the arabs (of which i am joined with) need to fix their own house they have helped to destroy with their own hands.
23. To Rustum
Michael ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (05.26.06)
Although I'm a different Michael, I'll answer for him-- learn what sarcasm and irony are. His comment was made to accent the deep scisms and rifts in Lebanese society. All of us weho took part in the Lebanon War of 1982 and actually talked to the Lebanese, have no doubt how deep those splits go. The Islamic Jihad "knee-jerk" reaction of blaming Israel for this car-bombing ignores those rifts, and possible alternative enemies in order to blame the "villain they love to hate"... Israel!
24. If ur happy, don't complain abt ur extremistTourism minister
Muhammad-Ali ,   Montreal   (05.26.06)
Exploding a car is an act of terror
25. Mike's generalisations
Rustum ,   London, UK   (05.26.06)
You don't salvage your own pathetic generalisations. In Lebanon "anyone can kill anyone there and everyone knows that they can blame Israel"... patently ridiculous nonsense. You might be married to an Arab (poor woman to suffer domestic apartheid) but methinks you have very little knowledge of experience of the Arab world and your original statement "as if there is no one in lebanon who has anything but complete love and respect for these terrorists" has not been explained away by your marriage to an Arab. By the way, aren't you afraid of the religious zealots here excommunicating you, claiming that you have defiled your Judaism, etc. Perhaps you live in a special enclave of tolerance in Israel.
26. Michael's sad defence
Rustum ,   London, UK   (05.26.06)
What you didn't deal with is Mike's crass generalisation "as if there is no one in lebanon who has anything but complete love and respect for these terrorists." You might have served in Lebanon, possibly killed a few innocent women and children, and then talked to a few to assuage your own concept of your own humanity, and yes, you discovered how deep the splits in Lebanese society go. What you didn't respond to was Mike's moronic generalisation about all Lebanese. Try sticking to the point.
27. James, Manchester
Rustum ,   London, UK   (05.26.06)
Thanks for your kind comments. If you cannot understand my English, try a night school course. As for your attempt at derision, it failed.
28. Adina's virgins
Rustum ,   London, UK   (05.26.06)
In your sneering, contemptuous postings, are you not afraid that you may be barking up the wrong tree and that justice will pursue your own bloodthirstiness in days to come? How anyone could write "beautiful" with respect to a car bomb simply beggars the imagination. Obviously you can see not a whit of difference between your own sick Schadenfreude and the sad jubilations of the denizens of the refugee camps.
29. Rustum...here's a generalization for oyu.
DR ,   Florida, USA   (05.26.06)
Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are muslims. Your poetic crap doesn't impress anyone. The fact of the matter remains. Arabs kill each other allthe time and still try to blame Israel. this is nothing new. I have read a lot about the History of Beirut and the tactics used there for decades. This is just another example of the peaceful, just religion we call Islam. Israel is only a diversion that is used by Arabs to avoid thier own troubles. Good day!!!
30. so what?
(05.26.06)
if Israel did it, then RIGHT ON! either way, it's a mitzvah.
