1. Evil People
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (07.17.06)
Our enemies are evil. Their only agenda is inflict pain and harm upon us. They have no intention of ever coming to peaceful terms with us. What an awful fate for us that we have to deal with such inhumane beings. May G-d save us.
2. Nazareth
Talula ,   Israel   (07.17.06)
Nazareth, mostly populated by Arabs, is a town with the most beautiful hidden treasures in it. Does Hizbullocks know this? Do they know they are aiming for Arabs? Once again, another display of complete ignorance. But what do you expect from someone who is firing rockets from a pit.
3. G-d Helps Those
Lauren ,   Israel   (07.17.06)
That help themselves. And we are. We are far from helpless, and not at anyone's mercy. Please try and not write such things here, it only gives the SOB Palestinians who see what you write more fuel for their hatred. This is not fate, this has nothing to do with fate. Be of good cheer, we are going to wipe this scum off our map. They are history. It is just such a pity that innocents have to die. But, since they care nothing for human life, amongst themselves too, we should not feel too bad. Now, quit moaning and get a grip on yourself.
4. #1 what about our enemy ?
WaeL ,   plaestine & kuwait   (07.17.06)

6. Reuven's mirror image
Rustum ,   London, UK   (07.17.06)
Your prayer also could have been said by a Lebanese/Palestinian: "Our enemies are evil. Their only agenda is inflict pain and harm upon us. They have no intention of ever coming to peaceful terms with us. What an awful fate for us that we have to deal with such inhumane beings. May G-d save us. "
7. F-16 brought down
Davide Merkewitz ,   Tel Aviv   (07.17.06)
first the soldiers, then hum vees, then tanks, then warships, now f-16s hasnt israel had enough humiliation ?
8. Lessons must be learned..
Omar ,   Dubai   (07.17.06)
When the Israelis will learn that this kind of reaction will draw more violence? Kidnapping 2 soldiers was reacted by killing 10s and 100s of civilians.. this operation was not initiated to release the soldiers.. it was initiated to show the stick without carrot... Israel meant to show its force to introduce the Palestinians and Lebanese as example for other Arabs and Iranians and to tell everyone that we are the most powerful in the region. This is the typical insolence of Israeli leaders and most of their people. Get back to the history and make sure that you learned enough. Many civilizations were controlling the world and now they became lines in the books. It looks that only Katyushas will keep your eyes open.
10. It's the peace process
Marcel ,   Florida   (07.17.06)
This is all happening because of Israel's goodwill and kindness and appeasments for the nonexistent peace.Brute force is the only language that Isam understands. Yo uhave projected weakness and allowed the west to restrain you for too long ,and now you pay a heavy prrice. I warned you of the coming holocaust but you refused to listen. I have said the same thing since 1993 that the Palestinians only want to destroy you.,but you treated them better than you treated me. Have you waken up yet ? Why do you allow your enemies to sit in the Knessett. This stupidity is your downfall if you continue to reward terrorist behavior.. The Road Map to Hell has arrived at it's destination.
11. No 5
Laszlo Yarkony ,   Israel   (07.17.06)
How do you know that God cursed my people? If you believe in that, you also believe that the sun is rising in the west and the moon is made of green cheese. Hezbollah maybe the Party of God, but they are a bunch of murderers.
12. Please talk with mind

and not feelings
13. #4 and #6
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (07.17.06)
From your vantage points, you might think that we are bad. But, we are not. We are not cruel and insensitive. We do not want to hurt the Arabs. Nothing, but nothing, would make us happier than to live in peace with the Arabs. Not to live with the Arabs because our religions, cultures and histories are so different that we will never meld together. But, we can live side by side with the Arabs. We have tried so hard to find ways to live with them. We helped them with building roads and infrastructure, sewer pipes and schools. We let them into our hospitals and give them medical treatment whenever they need it. We have never gone into their homes or schools or restaurants or buses and kill innocent people. Can they say that, too? Do we lynch them and then dip our hands in their blood and show it off to cheering crowds? When there is an accident or attack they gather around, we are repelled and stay back.
14. I have no opinion
Rustum ,   London, UK   (07.17.06)
I can't think of anything intelligent to say and that is why I copy and pasted #1s reply.

Your gas bag analysis is old news.
16. #3 and #6
DR ,   Florida, USA   (07.17.06)
What you still fail to understand, even though the whole world gets it, is that Hezballah is a terrorist organization, just like Hamas and Al-Queida. These people don't want anything short of Israel being destroyed and they don't care for the safety of lebanese, Palestinians etc. It is israel's duty to go after them and kill them regardless of where they're hiding, so yes civilians will get hurt, BUT, Israel does not target civilians like Hezballah does. You have no higer moral ground here, you are rotting for the bad guys which in turn, makes you bad too. Sorry!!!
17. Hey Marcel, # 10
Lauren ,   Israel   (07.17.06)
Are you G-d? Come on, you can tell us!
18. #6
Haim ,   Israel   (07.17.06)
You can say, but this will be not truth for the simple reason: we just strike back. Don't talk about unproportional force. Who, but g-d knows the right proportions. There are no clean wars. Any war causes casualties and humans suffering. This is the agressor to blame not just for casualtes on his enimy side, but for casualties on his side too. Killing and kiddnapping solders on IL territory, launching Katyshas on civilians is an act of agression. Don't talk about "both sides" or any kind of symmetry. Who that started the war is war criminal and should be treated like this.
20. #10 - completely right
aaron ,   ra'anana   (07.17.06)
but you should move here and vote for the right wing... living in florida doesn't help the cause...
21. The JIHAD AGAINST LEBANON'S CHRISTIANS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (07.17.06)
Lebanon was a Christian country until Muslims achieved a majority through an extremely high birthrate. The jihad against Lebanon's Christians was savage and barbaric. The IDF was the only hope for the embattled Christians. Click on Photo gallery of www.free-lebanon.com, 20,000 Christians handicapped by PLO atrocities. PLO terrorists were rewarded for their savagery and mass murder of Christians by implanting them into Israel as terrorist "peace" partners through Oslo to continue the jihad. The Christians of Damour, Lebanon treated Muslims from surrounding areas free of charge in their hospital. The PLO and other terrorists repaid the Christian kindness with barbaric savagery: The Massacre and Destruction of Damour 'The attack took place from the mountain behind. It was an apocalypse. They were coming, thousands and thousands, shouting 'Allahu Akbar! God is great! Let us attack them for the Arabs, let us offer a holocaust to Mohammad 'And they were slaughtering everyone in their path, men, women and children.' Whole families were killed in their homes. Many women were gang-raped..." http://www.free-lebanon.com/LFPNews/psa/psa.html Satanic acts were perpetrated on Damour Christians.
22. answer to #21
Joerg ,   Germany   (07.17.06)
since when do the Jews support christians???!!!!!
23. No humiliation and no shame greater #7
Ilan ,   Ariel   (07.17.06)
What are enemies do to us is not our shame. That someone claiming to write from Tel Aviv can take satisfaction in our hurts is the biggest shame.
24. Marcel of Florida
Michael ,   Haifa   (07.17.06)
Why the hell don't you shut up. Your drivel from Florida does little to help keep up the morale here in Haifa. You and Nasrallah are equally hateful. Just shut up for a few days until this is over.

Israel supported the Christian forces in Lebanon from 1976-2000.
26. Article: Haifa Under Attack Again
Jack Cohen ,   San Diego, USA   (07.17.06)
While Israel is at it, she should destroy every single sweets and candy factory in the Palestinian territories, Judea and Samaria, as well as Lebanon so that the people will stop passing out sweets after every vile action that their terrorists commit. Leave them with factories that produce nothing but sour and bitter products to distribute as reminder of their crushing defeat and humiliation.
27. #14 - cheap imposter
Rustum ,   London, UK   (07.17.06)
Actually, whoever you are, i feel that Reuven's statement was so offensive that he should see what how he feels if the tables are turned. This pathetical apocalyptic language - and sheer puerility of calling your enemies "evil" is simply a waste of his breathe - which he should save for running into the air-raid shelters. If, in your simplistic interpretation of events you are simply the great and righteous Israelis fighting the evil Hizbullah, then you might as well turn off the news and stop reading because your ideas (that's an overstatement) are fixed in moronity. It is really a shocker to see how many Israelis (Americans, etc) are full of glee at the way the Israeli army is killing innocent Lebanese civilians. The report of the deaths of Canadian/Lebanese civilians was greeted by "they were too dumb to get out of the way". In fact, a listing of the nasty, racist, supremacist epithets written here would make a very strong indictment of the whole spirit of Zionism - not so much "freedom for the Jewish people" as a petty backward-looking tribal supremacist racial theory that treats its neighbours and non co-religionists as filth with no human value whatsoever. The constant chorus of glee and delight, expressed here, at Arab/Moslem/Lebanese deaths is really the sign that heralds the downfall of the rotten enterprise of Zionism. The true colours of the rabid supporters of the Israeli military come to the fore - and all the bleating, whining, hysteria about Israelis being the victim is belied by the mad-dog triumphalism expressed here at Arab/Lebanese deaths. And so many people wonder why Israel has not been accepted into the Middle East? You steal a nation's land, you expel the inhabitants, you imprison the rest, you have an unequal "democracy", you want to arrest the non-Jewish MKs as fifth columnists, you have eradicated hundreds of Palestinian villages as well as time and time again attempting to destroy their cultural heritage (viz Israeli destruction of the Palestinian Research Centre in Beirut during the last "visit") - it is obvious to anyone that the Israeli state is trying to eradicate the Palestinians' last will to live. Not surprisingly - it will all backfire and the new generation of Israelis - those we see demonstrating against the war and those who have not swalled hook line and sinker the historical lies peddled by the Jewish Agency and the Ministry of Education - are starting to notice that their history is built upon one very great big lie. That lie is the fiction that Palestine was "empty" - and the guilt of the younger generation at the lies and atrocities of their parents and grandparents will evenutally change the nature of the state.

30. ATTACK ON HAIFA;
J.GYMA ,   NAIROBI,KENYA.   (07.17.06)
IDF//ISRAEL SHOULD NOT HALT THE COUNTER ATTACK TILL THE ENEMY EXPOSSES ALL ITS MIGHTY WEAPONS ACCUMULATED ALONG ISRAEL BODERS,WITH AN AIM OF DETROYING THE STATE OF JEWISH. THE IDF VICTORY ON THE CURRENT CRISSIS MEANS ALOT ON THE FUTURE OF THE JEWISH HOMELAND.
