We will never abandon Israel.... I am a 53 year old woman...get me a gun and a flight to Tel Aviv....This needs to end once and for all... King George was right.... Message to the 911 murderers and their ilk ....We are in your front yard and are not here to play.... you are are wrong and you will see when the virgins don't show up as you expected.... We have 2 more years of a President with balls backed up by a Vice president you definately don't want... kill them you'll see the whole country up your nose we might disagree around here but we don't blow ourselves up.... la Famiglia Israel

You have made anti Israeli comments in an Israeli publication. Try making anti Iranian or anti Syrian comments in their publications. There is no freedom to speak of in those countries. What do you object to concerning Israel? The country is prosperous and wants to be left alone . Geographicallly, it is a tiny sliver of land with hostile neighbors all around it. Let me clue you in . It is surrounded by numerous angels and protected by the hand of God. You attack it at your own peril. This is all a huge family squabble between Issac and Ishmael. Ishmael is the illegitimate son and his progeny have nothing better to do than fire Katyusha rockets.LEAVE ISRAEL ALONE.

Radical moslem elements are out of tune and out of touch with the rest of the world like many of the African and Middle East countries. They lack an ability to understand that there are other people in this world that have different views, opinions, goals and life styles. Imagine taking a country like Sweeden and transplanting that country and it's population and it's values to the Middle East, the radical Moslems would go absolute crazy. Israeli has realized this issue many, many years ago and they must defend them selves with all of the support and help that is necessary to insure that their future generations may have peace.

There is no reason for Israel not to go for broke in this and seek to ensure a strategic victory nomatter what it takes to bring this about. Israel's victory in changing the political reality on the ground will be america's and we should maintain the staunchest support humanly possible for the only democracy, and our only real ally in the middl east. A strategic victory against Hizbollah, HAMAS and therefore Iran and it's cat's paw Syria is MANDATORY.

You are jus another wimpy Sucmbag! Irsreal should blast all of the Hamas and Hezbollah Musliums to hell and then hit Syria and Iran Nuke em if the need to. It's time to end all of the Ben Laden types from this earth if it means Arrmagedon so be be it!!

Syria and Iran play in foreign policy by supporting terrorist organizations. They should try to take on Isreal big time and they will be crushed, just like every other war these 2 countries have been in. I would love nothing more then for Israel to nuke a couple cities and snap those a-holes into line.

You so stupid and deaf the U don't know that China sold the C-803 to Iran!!! Or are U jus blind and deaf that You don't read or listen

AMEN!!!

When are you liberial dumba--'s gonna wake up when a ship blows up in the United States with a 20 kilton bomb on it or when The looneytoon leader of Iran sends a nuke into Isreal?? that what it's going to take.. The time is NOW for us (Isreal and the U.S. to take the lead and do away with these militiant goverments and if that meas China or Russia then so be it. Lets face it this is alreadt world war III so lets get with it and stop the wimping out like all the liberials and get the job done!!

How many kilometres from S. Lebanon to Dimona?

You must be watching CNN

is pretty far from southern lebanon... more than 200km.

every one of those "hostages" is willing to strap a bomb to their ass and blow up a school bus; once an Israeli decides to go suicide-bomb a dance club in Iran, I'll agree with you

Go ride a bus in Tel Aviv..... george.... news flash .... first reports are usually speculation.... by journalists, and people who really don't know, experts wait to find out....how would you deal with living in Israel? under the conditions they do..... or is the crying comment one step away from the "whiney Jew " analogy.... the ovens are still warm... but you probably go along the beliefs of Iran's leadership..... kind of sounds like you might .....

As long as radical crazy 'muslims' continue to deny anyone the right to exist, there can be no peace anywhere. The west has not stated the muslims should not exist. Israel is meeting Hez with proportionate force. The have taken the stand that hateful militant 'muslim' Hez does not have the right to exist. Hez brought a slingshot to a gun fight and Lebanon is paying the price for not stepping up to eradicate them. Perhaps the UN would be willing to help Lebanon if they took that first step to confront Hez and risk a civil war? It would probably be greeted with great support around the globe in non muslim countries.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the reason most of us read the news in English is becasue we don't read hebrew/ are not fluent- can you give us the gist of the article plz?

Israel has faced many a hardship, and with the current situation I thank the Israeli people as a whole, taking a united stand against what is right. Thank you! I pray for the soliders and their families.

All i see is Lebanon burning that must be your way of wining Glad i'm Israeli and very proud one at that.

There can be only one solution: complete and utter destruction of Hamas, Hesbollah and all their allies. Civilians be warned. Remain in Lebanese cities at your own peril. Your cowardly government has refused to reign in Hezbollah, and now your entire land will reap the whirlwind. Carpet-bombing and utter holocaust is all these terrorists understand. Let them all die and go to "paradise", where they will learn the only "virgins" present are the terrorists. Let them be sodomized by Satan's demons for eternity for their transgressions. Israel, the US stands steadfast by your side.

Remember who is pulling the strings: the mullahs in iran. They fund and supply the hezbolla in syria and s. lebanon. Israel needs to pinpoint hezbollah within syria and exterminate them. If that means the death of bashar, so be it: it's long overdue. iran has threatened "Unimaginable loss" for Israel if they do attack - This is just more rediculous bluster from that ass-clown puppet-of-the-mullas. Go ahead, iran, send your warplanes to fight the Isrealis, they need more fighter aces anyway. Oh, I forgot, you'd have to fly through Iraqi (read United States) air space. Syria is edging towards a war they absolutly cannot win, and after they've been cut off, logistics will be lost, and no other country wants what Israel is dishing out. Iran can spout off, but little else. Jordan and Egypt are quieter than a mouse and the Sauds have come out against hezbolla (are the Saudis finally growing up?). This conflict is a rare opportunity for Israel to put a serious dent in the number of bloodthirsty inbred savages we call jihadis. If I were the President, I'd ask Olmert what he needs (and how much) to kill these evil bastards. If God be with us, who can be against us? I'll give you one guess. Play Haoc, Israel, and hunt with ruthless warrant.

Greetings Israel, I am a 55 year-old retired NYC Fire Department Lieutenant and Viet Nam veteran. Your enemies are my enemies. If you need volunteers to help defend your country I will be on the first plane that will get me there. You are fighting for your lives. Fight hard, use whatever weapons are needed. I stand alongside you.

Your reference to "the final solution" is unpleasant in the extreme. You said "Let them be sodomized by Satan's demonds for eternity" - is this really the place to be casting primitive curses? Is this the level of your political debate in the USA? Pity the world.

THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH ARABS WHY SHOULD ISRAEL ENJOY INNOCENTS BEING KILLED? IF THE ARAB WORLD FOUGHT LIKE MEN THERE WOULD NOT BE THE CASUALTIES THAT HAPPEN TODAY THE ARAB WANTS TO HIDE BEHIND WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND BOMB WOMEN AND CHILDREN BECAUSE THE MEN ARE SISSIES

Sorry you found my Hitler reference "unpleasant." This is war. The Jews and Arabs have fought for millenia. They cannot come to an agreement. Therefore, a final solution is necessary. Peace is secured through victory. As Caesar said, "Si vis pacem, para bellum." In the scheme of things, asking that someone be sodomized in hell for eternity is a small thing, compared to the thousands of lives these terrorists have wasted. And it's certainly no worse than being imprisoned in a Nazi death camp. As for my "primitive curse." Grow up, please. I was using some "primitive" rhetoric that any terrorist a-hole reading this forum would understand. This is not a political debate. I reiterate, this is a war of two diametrically opposed civilizations. Now is no time for your Neville Chamberlain "peace in our time" rhetoric.

To our friends in Israel.... We in the US will continue to stand with you. My prayers and thoughts are with the situation right now. We as Americans understand terrorism and the need to combat it fiercely. Dont be misguided by the American media, they generally do not represent the average American. Be it known that in my opinion the state of Israel should be doing what it is doing. Eradicate Hamas and Hezbollah from the planet, and you will be doing the whole world a favor. You have our thoughts and prayers, God speed to you all!

see above.

One should stand proud to be an Isreal-i defending one soldier, one life, one hostage, one human being vs. an entire split nation "liban, lebanon". Indeed times have changed for the past 50 yrs.--where no one nation dared to protect and honour the lives of 6 million + other millions gone to their unknown final destinations. One lesson to draw --in Israel a life is equal to one nation. Voila. I rest my case.

Israel deserves to get bombed when it seems that this is all they know how to do.

How can you possibly make peace with a bunch of cutthroats?To them it is just a piece of paper,nothing else.To defeat them you must kill them all.They would not hesitate for a moment to wipe every Jew off the face of the earth.If they had truly wanted peace they could have had it decades ago,yet they have chosen to continue their murderous ways. To the nation of Israel peace will only come when there is an absense of opposition.
