4. Israel's problem
Marcel ,   Florida   (07.17.06)
A Simple insight into Israel's main problem It's not hamas or hezbollah, but the sickness that prevades Israel. It can be best described like this ; Shimon Peres - a large pile of dog excrement which is stuck to Israel's collective shoe and which they have grown accustomed to walking with. They've even gotten used to the stench of this dung and his disasterous failed peace agenda which now engulfs Israel from the North,South and East. Israel just can't seem to dump their failed leader's who lead them not to peace but to Road Map hell. Lets also not forgot all of his loyal subjects who rule Israel under him startingwith the wimp P.M.Olmert who finds more joy throwing Jews out of their homes than defeating the Islamic terrorist's .

read what good people the palis are in europe...
6. Berlin protest
Greg ,   Dallas TX USA   (07.17.06)
It's unfortunate that Berlin was the site of the anti-Israel protest because Germany has been a good friend of Israel for many years. It was also fitting in a way, however, because these Islamic radicals are the Nazis and Fascists of our day. They follow an ideology built on a foundation of mythology and hatred. Overwhelming force is the only thing they understand. Long Live Israel.
7. My apologies
Bernd ,   Germany   (07.17.06)
My apologies for those disgusting pictures from Berlin. Only some comments on this: (1) We had three demonstrations in Germany recently against the Iranian lunatic Achmadinedschad and supporting Israel, each on the occasion of the soccer world cup games of the Iranian team. (2) The demonstrators in Berlin are most likely the usual coalition of largely non-German Muslims from the Arab community living in Berlin and a handful of wacky Neo-Nazis. Bernd, Germany, Old Europe
8. Ironic
Sharon ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.17.06)
Germany was one of the first UN members to voice support for us.

Arabian Wolf   (07.17.06)

10. Finally
stephany ,   NY, US   (07.17.06)
Finally someone has to respond to the terorrist state. Israeli people now is dirnking from the same cup as Ghaza people.
11. #3 Best and Brightest on the planet???
Randy ,   Mustang, OK   (07.17.06)
If Hillary is one of the best or one of the brightest women on the planet we are all screwed. Had you said the most politically expedient person or woman, for that matter, you would be right on the money. Hillary will support whomever will get her up in the polls on that day. Terrorist or Jew, she could care less. You do have one of the best and brightest people in the world on the case though, Condoleeza Rice. I can't think of a more honest, intelligent person I would rather have on my side. God Bless Israel and the brave men and women of the IDF. The day is theirs and Israels survival depends on them. God's Speed

No, he supports justice against Islamofacism.
13. To # 4-Israel's problem
Ibrahim ,   A. Arabia   (07.17.06)
You are right-and Palestinians, Iran, syria, take FULL advantage of ideas like Shimon Peres', both in propaganda and in public marketing of "the Palestinian plight". Arabs read statements like Peres' as fear and uncertainty , and like Condoleeza Rice said, weakness is PROVOCATIVE.
14. No
Tom ,   Bsas, Argentina   (07.17.06)
Hillary is against Terror. I´m sure of that. Bill Clinton did a lot to the peace process remember? Long Live Israel, Mossad,IDF, and IAF I only feel bad for civilians who are caught in the fire.
15. America should apologize ...
pfloyd ,   USA   (07.17.06)
... this regional conflict with global implications is in it's 6th day ... as yet Israel's biggest backer the US has yet to lend a hand ... not a hand lifted to provide backing to the IDF as they are being attacked on 2 fronts with threats from Syria and Iran ... the US has done nothing more than make some phone calls to Israel - yes in support but encouraging "restraint" ... please!!! Israel was attacked - an act of war by Hamas + Hizbullah + Syria + Iran ... terrorist groups entering the state of Israel attacking military posts and kidnapping military personnel .. practice restraint??? don't enlarge the "war" to bring in Syria or Iran ??? ... the US has not even shown support to the Lebanese government to help stop the Israeli attacks on the Lebanese Infrastructure by "at least" saying the US would assist in disarming Hizbullah ... where is the urgency to take it to terrorism from the US government ? where is the urgency to make the War vs Terrorism a global issue ? ...how much more black and white can it get than the current situation in the Middle East - Hizbullah/Hamas (terrorist extremists) ... Syria/Iran supporters/financial backers of terrorism around the world ready to step in and provide more weaponry/military advisors to Hizbullah ... the Free World vs terrorism ... as clear as gets !!! ... ... and yet 6 days into the conflict the US is ready to send Sec. of State Ms. Rice to the area to "appease" the terrorist bodies - to give them an out to regroup/reload to fight yet another day ... ... here in the US ALL of the legislative voices that are more than willing to take to the floor of both houses of government to vent vs their own President on every step he makes good or bad ...these "self professed" leaders of the free world are silent ... not a word ... not a direction to turn to help in the middle east ... nothing but silence ... I apologize to the brave peoples of Israel and Lebanon ... maybe in due time the leader in the free world - the US - will come up with a strategy ... a plan ... something more than "restraint" ...something more than silence ... pfloyd
16. No worse than our own Leftists:
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (07.17.06)
"in Berlin more than 1,000 Lebanese, Palestinians chant ‘death to Israel'". Well, at least the Germans didn't participate. Good for them.
17. Hillary Sopporting Israel?
David Severy ,   Baltimore, Md. USA   (07.17.06)
For votes. It would not surprise me to see Hillary out looking for Islamic votes either. This book (still available) will tell you all you need to know about Hillary: Unlimited Access: An FBI Agent Inside the Clinton White House by Gary Aldrich
18. Hillary Clinton
Josh ,   Atlanta   (07.17.06)
Mark my words, this woman is a wolf in sheep's clothing. PLEASE DON'T TRUST HER POLITICAL POINT SCORING BS. She and her husband loved Arafat. She's doing this because she wants to portray herself as a friend to Jews, but I think she is the most pro-Islamic and pro-Arab among the likely presidential candidates. I'll still never forget that her and her husband hosted Arafat in the White House more often than any other world leader, and he didn't even have his own state!! Please don't be fooled like the American people are about to be.
19. Josh # 18
keren ,   sao paulo   (07.17.06)
You are right! Wasn't his husband together with Rabin who brouth that infortune called oslo to Israel?
20. BILL DID WHAT?????
ALAN ,   USA   (07.17.06)
UNFORTUNATELY BILL'S PEACE PROCESS FELL FLAT, REMEMBER ISRAEL WAS WILLING TOGIVE UP NOST EVERYTHING UNDER A CLINTON PPEACE PLAN AND YASSIR WALKED OUT, REMEMBER THE PEACE TREATY WITH NORTH KOREA, WHICH NORTH KOREA VIOLATED, REMEMBER THE WTC WAS BOMBED IN 1993, REMEMBER THE US SHIP COLE WAS BOMBED, REMEMBER THE EMBASSIES THAT WERE BOMBED! SDORRY THAT GERMANY IS TAKING A BAD WRAP FOR THE FEW WHO ARE AGAINST ISRAEL. AGAIN REMEMBER THAT EUROPE IS BEING TAKEN OVER BY ISLAMOFACISTS, REMEMBER MADRID, THEY WANT SPAIN BACK.
21. "Israel wants peace" - "Death to Israel"
Caligula's Horse ,   Solomon's Stables   (07.17.06)
No more comments.
22. Occupation and Opression
Ali ,   Ramallah- Palestine   (07.17.06)
Guys, The main reason for what is happening nowadays in Gaza and South Lebanon is the Israeli ccupation and oppression. Beieve me, as long as this occupation continues and the 10,000 arrested Palestinians stay there, there is no hope. I feel sorry about any human being killing in Haifa, but you must know that the blood of the Palestinian and the Lebanese are similar. That's enough!!!
23. TO # 22
Jack ,   NY, USA   (07.17.06)
Mr. Ali, I totally agree with you. I am American and I also believe that the OPRESSION ans OCCUPATION is a big problem. However, the Arabs and Muslims need also to recognize Isreal as a state. I think that if this happened from both sides there should be hope for real peace. personally, I think that the Palestinian, Lebanese, and the Israeli bloods are the same.
24. #18 Josh
Randy ,   Mustang, OK   (07.17.06)
tell it like it is brother! Arafat was Bill and Hill's man. They loved him like a brother! Hill is Jewish when she needs to be, but pro-Arab at heart. Israel has no greater enemy. Israel has allies in the US. They are Conservatives, Biblical Christians and Joseph Lieberman. All the rest would sooner see them go the way of the dinosaur than to deal with them. God forbid in 2008 the Israelis find this out the hard way. By the way Josh, I like wolves they have honor and serve a greater good. Lets not degrade them with the whole Hillary comparison ;-)
25. #22 ALI
Randy ,   Mustang, OK   (07.18.06)
There were never a people called Palestinians or a place called Palestine until 70 AD. That is when the Romans defeated, occupied and destroyed the land called Israel. This is also when they destroyed the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem where the present Islamic Mosque stands. The Romans wanted no reference left of Israel so they renamed the land Palestine. So my question is: How can Israel occupy and oppress a people who are on the land that Israel occupied prior to 70 AD? I realize that this is factual history and you guys have a problem with that. I'm not even a Jew or that religious, yet I know the history of the land. And I got it from history books. Not the Bible or the Torah. Where does your history lessons come from? Ask yourself honestly.
26. Berlin insurrection
Stephen ,   Arizona, USA   (07.18.06)
To march in Berlin carrying placards calling for death to Israel and to Zionists is not in keeping with German law. I can only hope that Berlin is not so weighed down by her history to hamper her ability to stamp out these vermin that crawled up out of the Spree. I am utterly disgusted at the thought that this action by un-wanted Arabs in Berlin can go without police action to put them back in their place.
27. #22 ,What would make you happy ,ali?
keren ,   sao paulo   (07.18.06)
Do you know the answer? Tell us.
28. To #9
Stephen ,   Arizona, USA   (07.18.06)
When you cite "terror bombings" I can only assume that you must mean the barrage of rockets and shells that Hizbullah launched into Israel from Lebanon that started this episode? Or did you mean the qassam rockets that Hamas has been raining into Israel from Gaza for weeks and months now? Or maybe you mean the not-yet-carried out threats by Iran to destroy Israel? What exactly do you mean?
29. To Randy-25
Ali ,   Ramallah- Palestine   (07.18.06)
Randi, I would not argue about history now. everybody may claim that he or she is right. Rather, I am arguing about the FACTS on the ground NOW. In the historic Palestine, if you want to call, there are 3.2 millions Palestinians in west bank and 1.3 millions in Gaza. Additionally, there are 1.2 millions inside Israel. Those 5.7 millions of the Palestinians are demographically grwoing more than those who come from USA and the rest of the world to establish the state of Israel in 1948!!! The roots of opression started after then. In 2010, the Palestinains are going to be majority there and the palestinian state is coming sooner or later, trust me.
30. To Keren, 27
Ali ,   Ramallah- palestine   (07.18.06)
Keren, Of course I know the answer. Perhaps what will make me happy is very similar to what would make YOU happy. Real peace in the land of peace, how??? If the Occupation is done, treating the Palestinians as human beings and recognizing their rights will make all of us happy. We have been suffering, I personally did, from occupation since decades. I have not seen my dad since 7 years bacause he is arrested in Israel. Beleive me, we love life and we want peace. However, we need our rights first of all.
