61. Go Israel
Peter ,   Adelaide, Australia   (07.16.06)
Hey, don't stop now Israel. They started this. You gave land for peace and got missiles, kidnappings and more terror. Stuff the UN, stuff the US State Dept, stuff the Foreign Office, the Frogs, world media, etc, just go and silence those guns. Do whatever needs to be done, and don't consider 'World opinion'. These groups will only hamper your security efforts and help your enemies.
62. caught in the middle
Ced Map ,   Montreal, Canada   (07.16.06)
for all those favoring the war, i would like to point out that neither Hezbollah nor those supporting it are paying the price. It is very cowardice of Israel to attack the people who has nothing to do with hezbollah. Tell me how many hezbollah leaders were killed during these 5 days? I ll tell you the lebanese civilian casualties are over 100 civilians ! Why dont the attack turn to the real enemy : IRAN.
63. Helping Israel
Dennis ,   Holland MI   (07.16.06)
"I wish I could help you in some way." Does anyone know of a site, or an organization to make donations for the defense of Israel/ aid for the Israelis?
64. To #58
Zathras ,   Tulsa, USA   (07.16.06)
Israel hates peace? Perhaps you missed the part in this conflict where Hezbollah crossed the border into Israel and attacked first? This is considered by most in the international community as an act of war. When one country attacks another country, don't be so shocked when the country that was attacked fights back. Before you condem Israel, take a look at who started this war.

J. ,   California   (07.16.06)
For donations, this would be a good place to start. http://www.ujc.org/ Or, a walk or phone call to your local Synagogue would be another resource.
66. Undercurrent against Iranian regime?
Carl ,   Denver, USA   (07.16.06)
Mehran T. -Tehran: Your comment is an interesting one. It makes me wonder how many more in Iran in fact think the way you do? In the "west" (USA etc) we are told to "hope" that there may be such an undercurrent among the Iranian people. But is that so? Your reaction please.
67. to #58 Ryan, Chicago. 'How Israel hates peace"?
Carl ,   Denver, USA   (07.16.06)
"This shows how much Israel hates peace". Mmm...let's see: Giving up southern Lebanon and offering peace; Giving up Gaza and hoping for peace. Offering 90 % of the "westbank" to Arafat (who rejected it) in exchange for peace...and the list goes on and on. This, while the other side keeps on fighting vowing the complete destruction of Israel. Ryan you must have a short attention span what went on in recent years.
68. Re #58
Eric ,   U.S.   (07.16.06)
Ok, lets say that I am getting punched in the face, and then punched again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again,,,,then , FINALLY, I decide to stand up and defend myself. Your twisted logic would dictate that I hate peace? That I just LOVE to fight? That I should just learn to live in harmony with someone beating me in the face???????? What are you??? A HIPPIE?? Or are you one of those "peace loving" terrorists who has been brainwashed from birth to "Destroy Israel"???? Grow some balls Ryan!!!!!
69. RE:58
David ,   Ohio, USA   (07.16.06)

72. Article from Free Lebanon - USA
Joe ,   Sydney, Australia   (07.17.06)
Open Letter to Prime Minister Ehud Olmert Your Excellency, Dear Mr. Prime Minister: It was about time. We Lebanese congratulate you on your recent actions against the Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure in Lebanon. We urge you to hit them hard and totally dismantle their terror infrastructure. It is not Israel who is fed up with this situation, but the majority of the silent Lebanese in Lebanon who are fed up with Hezbollah and are powerless to do anything out of fear of terror and retaliation. Since Israel's forced withdrawal in 2000, pulling out due to pressure from the Clinton Administration, Hezbollah has not for one day ceased its terror incentives, acts of war and provocations at the border. Hezbollah, with the help of Syria and Iran, turned Southern Lebanon into a terror base supported by 12,000 Iranian missiles threatening every initiative for Peace in general and the security of Israel in particular. Unfortunately, the West should have understood from the beginning that diplomacy does not work with terrorism, neither the Saudi backed initiatives in Lebanon, it enforces terrorism and acts like a booster for Hezbollah justifications on the ground. The Lebanese are trapped within their own nation. We urge you not to hit the Lebanese infrastructure, Lebanon is a friendly country, rather hit and totally destroy Hezbollah's infrastructure in the country. Beirut is a beautiful city with lots of parking problems, nobody in Lebanon will be sorry should you flatten the ground south of Beirut. Bury Hizballah alongside their dirty terrorism and create a big parking lot in the southern suburbs….And while you are at it, keep Mullah Nasrallah in his underground hole Mr Prime Minister and smoke him out. This trend of Islam doesn't understand diplomacy. They will respect you more and you are better off using the Sharon diplomacy. Last, and as you know, the IAF raids on suspected Hezbollah strongholds will have a limited effect on this terror organization; an infantry offensive is needed to clean up Southern Lebanon from the threatening missiles and launching bases , dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure and consolidate security. On behalf of millions of Lebanese, we ask you to open the doors of Tel Aviv Ben Gurion airport to thousands of volunteers in the Diaspora willing to bear arms and liberate their homeland from fundamentalism. We ask you for support, facilitations and logistics in order to win this struggle and achieve together the same objectives: Peace and Security for Lebanon and Israel and our future generations to come. As of the fighting continue in the north of Israel in order to create security, at the Lebanon Israel border, we ask the world’s nations to endorse your political action and wish you full success in your deterrence against terrorism’s autonomy in Southern Lebanon and Gaza. Mr. Prime Minister, Help Lebanon in order to help yourself.

74. Reasonable Lebanese
Joe ,   Sydney, Australia   (07.17.06)
Just for the benefit of those with no idea..please know there are millions of Lebanese people out there who are fine upstanding people who are aware of the facts. Please see yet another website that proves this; http://www.clhrf.com/
75. support for Israel from Indonesia
indonesian ,   bandung, Indonesia   (07.17.06)
Go on IDF, defeat the enemy of Israel that the Lord GOD of Israel is with you. Don't fear the enemy as it is the LORD himself will defeat your enemy... May the LORD bless & protect Israeli people & bring peace to Jerusalem...
