91. Best and brightest
Bill ,   Philadelphia, PA   (07.18.06)
You absolutely nailed it Randy. Hillary would change her position in a heartbeat if it meant more votes for her. Luckily for us there is a much more Jewish influence in NY than Arab. She should never be trusted.
92. us apology
rob ,   los angeles usa   (07.18.06)
i have to agree with jim,pinkfloyd is another anti-semitic leftwing asshole.all that is happening in the middle east is 100% confirmation of biblical prophesy.the self-loathing americans who side with the raghead murderers of hamas and hezbollah are also the same bastards who call prez bush a terrorist and warmonger.they are just as bad as the nazi europeans who are a butch of pussies who kiss the asses of the arab jew-hating murderers.there will never be peace in the middle east until the the nazi/arab murderers are exterminated.Hillary and the devilcrats will side with the likes of arafat,who died a miserable death from aids,thats right,he was a pedofile faggot.
93. Jim in NYC, what are YOU talking about ...
pfloyd ,   USA   (07.18.06)
... my post encourages Israel to take it to the Hizbullah/Hamas terrorists!!! they are apparently going it alone BECAUSE the talking heads in the US 1) don't have a plan 2) the US is being held hostage - bogged down in Iraq - hostage to the news media who won't allow the troops to "get 'r done" without being put under a microscope 3) because the US is bogged down in Iraq it's hands are tied to give any assistance to the Israeli's ... YOU bark out "kick some -ass" ... my point was to say that politicians in the US seem to be outspoken vs President Bush on every issue YET during THE most important push vs terrorism there is nothing but silence from the talking heads ... I want nothing more than to see Israel succeed in "their" war vs terrorism BUT it shouldn't be just THEIR war ...it should be ALL free countries around the globe being MORE THAN WILLING to step in and draw that line in the sand vs terrorism ... so far? ONLY words ... give me a break about the UN SEC Council vote!! OF COURSE the US was going to veto the resolution against Israel by not vetoing the resolution it would say that Israel is wrong in bombing Lebanon/the Hizbullah ... ... I DO apologize to the Israeli's - the US should be doing far more than just 'talking" about it ... 6 days!!! nothing more than the UN veto ... the US is now waiting for UN group to finishing "talking" in the Middle East BEFORE our Sec. of State will even go to the Middle East!!! pathetic response - letting the UN who does nothing - beat us to the punch!!! ... ... Jim in NYC - I do apologize to he people of Israel for the "lack" of action the US has shown thus far ... what will the US do IF Iran/Syria do get involved? will the US stand by and say "restraint" ... talk is cheap ... the US TALKS of battling terrorism around the world ... that it is a global problem YET - where are we NOW but on the sidelines !!! hell the US legislature is going to give the conflict "2 hours" (a quote) of discussion!!! a full 2 hours?!!! the most important global terrorist event taking place - people dying everyday both Lebanese/Israeli/Canadians (foreign bystanders) and the US Congress is willing to give it 2 hours of discussion!!!! ... ... don't YOU dare tell me that I should not be apologizing to the people of Israel/Lebanon for the lack of a response by the US ... the silence is deafening ... pfloyd
94. Prostitution
Charles Veilleux ,   Skowhegan USA   (07.18.06)
Hillary is selling herself for JEWISH VOTES, nothing else means anything to her!
95. Be Srong and Victorious
Ron ,   Mobile,alabama-USA   (07.18.06)
May Israel have the courage of her great warriors of 1967. Blow those wild men sons of Ishmael straight to hell.
96. Eve, Omaha
Fred ,   Oklahoma   (07.18.06)
Actually Eve, YOUR LAND belongs to the Native Americans, they were forced to walk to Oklahoma in the trail of tears. And they are waiting for you to give it back So you should go back and learn history
97. TO#70
Tom ,   BSAS, ARGENTINA   (07.18.06)
You say Egypt and Jordan combined with Hamas and Hezbolabukhjjkhdfg, would destroy Israel? FIRST, Egypt, Jordan live in peace with Israel. Second, They try in the past remember? Learn history and you will know that you LOST ALL THOSE WARS IMPOSED ON ISRAEL. AND YOU WILL LOOSE ONCE AGAIN. One Day they will kill you, the long arm of Mossad will get to you, you bloody terrorist. LONGE LIVE ISRAEL, LONG LIVE MOSSAD
98. To#84
Tom ,   BSAS,ARGENTINA   (07.18.06)
Hey. Yes we are a Minority. See the History of Judaism. Who started The Crusades? And against who the Crusaders fought with? We are tolerant. WE DON´T TEACH YOUNG CHILDREN TO HATE MUSLIMS, HATRED, WE DON´T READ ANTISEMITIC BOOKS, WE DON´T PLANT BOMBS ON CIVILIANS, CONQUER COUNTRIES NOR GENOCIDE. CIVILIANS GET CAUGHT IN THE FIRE, BECAUSE HEZBOLA GOT TO HEL HAS ITS OFFICES IN CIVILIAN AREAS! DID YOU EVER THINK THAT? LONG LIVE ISRAEL,
99. Israel and America
Mango ,   Sydney, Australia   (07.18.06)
Look no further for the axis of evil - these two are the essence of all things foul in the world at the moment. The world should stop putting up with these clowns - they're killing indiscriminately and making up the rules as they go.
100. "peace now" must have been marching with hez-bull-ah.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (07.18.06)
101. Germany : We understand .
Tristana ,   Los Angeles , USA   (07.18.06)
Dear Bernd & other good German people: I read your post , and it is understood . The mass influx of this sort into your lands of "Old Europe " has made this and instances like it possible . We see who they are , and they are not you . How sad to use freedom to curse freedom in the way that they do .
102. G-D bless USA and our friend Israel
LAzar ,   NYC, USA   (07.18.06)
All NORMAL human beings must condemn lunatic arabs... who will get what they deserve - destruction, poverty, and death unless NORMAL arabs stop this madness...
103. Don't believe the hype
Lee ,   Santa Clara USA   (07.18.06)
This is just great - Hillary is pro-Israel after hugging Yassar Arafat. Make up your mind Hill - are you pro-Arab/Terrorist or a Yankee fan.
104. Iran shoud be next
Larry ,   Dallas Texas   (07.18.06)
Iran thought that they could get the Hizbulla to do it''s bidding, and make Isreal look weak... In the process they got their puppets killed, and Iran running for cover that they are innocent. BS Now Iran wants NUKES...Ha.. The US should WARN Iran and Syria that the US willl do the same to them if they don't want Peace. I would put 2 Aircraft Carriers off the coast of Isreal as a sign of support. GO ISRAEL.My Brothers Please PRAY for the innocents,,
105. Arm the Lebanese
Jolly Green ,   Kansas City, USA   (07.18.06)
Olmert hit the nail on the head in his address today; "only a nation that can protect its freedom deserves it." The reason that Israel has to deal with Hezbollah is that the pro-democratic Lebanese are not empowered to take care of their own back yard. We have enough quasi obsolete F-16s, UH-1s, M48s and M113s in Missouri, Georgia and Texas to supply Lebanon 5 times over. Forcing Israel to solve Lebanon's homegrown terrorism problem destabalizes the region & makes the US look bad.
106. who deserves to be helped right now!
sanjay ,   phoenix,usa   (07.18.06)
I think it is hypocritical for the US Jewish organiztions at this time to be helping only the jewish people during this crisis. While I total ly understand them helping during the terrorist attacks. However right now scores of innocent lebanese are being killed by the Isralie ,missiles, and they also deserve a helping hand from USA. Israeli lobby should consider themselves first as Americans as they really are and help all the innocent people caught in this sad affair
107. Middle East
Titus ,   LA, USA   (07.18.06)
JOHN 8:44
108. Read the Torah
Torah Scholar ,   Israel   (07.18.06)
Obviously you never have read the Torah. Only a person ignorant in Torah knowledge would make such a comment! The Land of Israel belongs to the Jews. Since we a just and moral nation we allow other nations to live in our land. But now we are opening our eyes and following what G-d wants from us and destroying the Arabs. You'll see eventually all the other nations will be forced to destroy the Arabs in order to survive.
109. #9
blackspirit ,   Bakersfield, CA. USA   (07.18.06)
Your rationalization makes me sick, Drop some Bacon Wraped Bombs on them!
110. My heart is with Israel.
frazer ,   pittsburgh USA   (07.18.06)
I'm 57 years old, and I've seen a lot. I have never even heard someone suggest wiping another religious or ethnic group from the face of the earth...except those coming from the lips of Islam against the Jews. Israelis and Jews across the earth have to listen to that kind of threat all the time. So called Palestinians have a country...it's called Jordan. The Jews have a country...it's called Israel. Get over it!
111. #9 Randy
Patricia ,   Waipahu, Hawaii   (07.18.06)
I do think Ms. Rice is a bright woman but least you forget, last week and prior to that her statements were RESTRAINT on the part of Israel. She is only following the directives of Pres. Bush. Prior to his statement, she never once mentioned that Israel had the right to defend itself. So before you spout your right wing politics about a woman who is her own person think and remember.
112. BRANDENBERG GATE !?!?! - THEY'RE NOT EVEN GERMAN
andrew ,   miami,fl   (07.18.06)
WOW - THEY HAVE SOME NERVE - ITS NOT EVEN THEIR COUNTRY AND THEYRE PROTESTING SOMETHING
113. Steve from Washington
Helena Yablon ,   Southlake, Texas   (07.18.06)
This letter is to Steve from Washington, D.C.- Dear Steve- It is most unfortunate that you are sooooo ignorant of facts. Pray tell and let me know whose land it was before it was given back to her rightful owner in 1948? You must be either a Nazi or a Muslim. Either way, GET EDUCATED and keep your mouth shut when you don't know what the Hell you are talking about. Sincerely, Helena
114. Reformation Needed
Mister Marty C ,   Los Angeles   (07.18.06)
Just as religions reformed in the 1600s - Islam is in need of a reform movement - one which doesn't call for destruction of others.
115. Why should US fight Israel's wars?
Ryan ,   Boston, USA   (07.18.06)
In reference to post 93-why should the US be dragged into a war that has nothing to do with us? It's bad enough that we have lost over 2000 of our troops in Iraq, and now this nutcase wants to send more Americans to die in a war that has nothing to do with us? We should be encouraging the 2 sides to make peace, not rushing to send our soldiers to kill and be killed in a war that has nothing to do with American interests
116. Telling it like it is
D. B. ,   Las Vegas USA   (07.18.06)
Bravo Finally a news agency that will call these parasites what they are "Terorists" I wish the rest of the world media would follow.
117. #59
blackspirit ,   Bakersfield, CA. USA   (07.18.06)
The Palestinians also have their own country, but they were exiled from it; it's called Jordan. Know your History!
118. To Eblis #25
Randy ,   Mustang, OK   (07.18.06)
Eblis, I can't and won't sit here and debate the whole Native American versus the Palestinian thing. To be very candid with you and Ali, we screwed the Native American from coast to coast. I live on their land. The Americans before me killed, lied and decieved for it. But and this is a huge but, Late in our history we have come to understand and we are starting to deal with that huge wrong that we did them. While the USA is perfect in no sense of the word, we do try and we are still trying. On the other hand, not since the early 1900's have Native Americans killed white people. Today they are are a proud peoples who are trying to get a sense of their past while living in the present. My children go to school everyday and my family eats out on occassion without fear that Native Americans are going to kill us. I don't worry about them getting blown up by a suicide bomber because there are no suicide bombing Native Americans. The Native americans don't walk around spouting how they are going to cleanse the world of the white man. We coexist with them. We value them and we have started treating them like the honorable people that they are. Much like Israel has started treating the Palestinian. Not like a second class citizen, but like a little brother that needs to crawl before it can walk. What is wrong with that? It's more than any of your Arab brothers have given unto you. They just want your suicide bombs. Guys, I am not the one to hate or debate. Your Mullhahs are the ones that need to be asked the hard questions. Asking them questions like this will probably get a bomb strapped to you though. You are worth so much more though. The ones that went before you were too. I cry for Palestinians even though you despise my tears.
119. #68 Eve
Randy ,   Mustang, OK   (07.18.06)
Yeah, we are all really stupid down here in OK. Not like the geniuses up in OMAHA. Everyone knows that anyone smart comes from Nebraska. They are the freaking capital of smart people in the USA. By the way Eve, I'm 1/4 Cherokee Indian. Registered at that. The other 3/4's of my ancestors screwed the Native americans. If we are talking about land rights, why don't you get off Indian land and leave Nebraska little missy? Gee, I guess I know my history and how to spell and when to capitalize proper nouns. Go figure!
120. Ali - Ramallah
Florida J ,   Bay Harbor, Fl, USA   (07.18.06)
You say, "However, we need our rights first of all" My heart goes out to you and your prople; much of your suffering is contained in your statement. Before rights come responsibilities. The responsibility to settle disputes peacefully even if you think you got a bad deal and you think life is not fair. As long as you and your people insist on your right to kill -- yourself and others -- how can Israel release your father and other prisoners? They are sworn to kill again as soon as they get a chance. Think and act responsibly and your rights will be yours.
