36. Medical Supplies, MY ASS!
Danny ,   NY, USA   (07.19.06)
Hey, Chris. Are you suggesting that Lebanon, after years of unrest inside it's own borders, had to import "medical supplies" from Syria?! Put down the crack pipe, Chris, and back away from the table.

What's not being fair to you guys? All's fair in love and war, the muslim extremists couldn't have made that any clearer. Be happy that there is a sense of decency and integrity in the western states, they (we) could obliterate you all.
38. Chris and his medical supplies
Bill ,   Albuquerque,USA   (07.19.06)
Chris you are a naive, ignorant ostrich. You also believe Israeli intelligence is ignorant . Do you realize what a fool you are?
39. Medical Supplies? Ha...
Mark ,   London   (07.19.06)
Ingnorant fool. We all know muslins are charitable, but lets get real... they were rockets. you know it, i know it, the whole world knows it. don't be ignorant.

Crush us with what, bombs strapped to your stomach?
41. Chris = Troglodyte
Jordan Lewis ,   Baton Rouge, LA, USA   (07.19.06)
Wow Chris, you sound almost as deceived as the fundamentalist dumbasses beheading people in the name of Allah. I got no beef with Muslims, except they need to take responsibility for their bullshit. The Arabs and Persians used to be among the most advanced civilizations in the world, and now they're nothing but genocidal maniacs.

If Iran and Syria and the rest of the Arab world weren't so hell bent on destroying Israel the United States wouldn't have to help Israel so much. But as long as they are intent on launching these wars, we will be there for Israel. And what do you care if the U.S. gives Israel credit? It's no skin off your nose.
45. RE: #'s 8 and 11
ZACK ,   LA, USA   (07.19.06)
LMAO-- The best I have heard yet! Relief supplies!?!??! So why then, were they not disclosed To Israel, nor were they Using Red Crescent vehicles? I find it appalling, that any idiot could attempt to place a moral equivilance, b/w people who target civilians (the Arabs) , and people who make every attempt to avoid civilian casualties (Israel).
46. Syria's declaration of war
Mike ,   US   (07.19.06)
Djazairi - you may as well go back to lighting cars on fire, your magnificent threat regarding "sooner or later we will crush you" is pathetic and tired We know you now...

Big Dan ,   Boston, Ma, USA   (07.19.06)
I'll write in pictures so maybe you can understand... The horse that steps on the scorpion the stung him is not the aggressor, just as Israel is not the aggressor for trying to protect itself from savages who won't stop killing their children. If you hide behind your women and children, don't be surprised when they get killed.
48. RE: # 17 - Assad

It will be a glorious day indeed when we see Damn ascus and Te-run light up. How's that for fair?
49. Islamo War
Don ,   USA   (07.19.06)
We in the West need to wake up to the fact that militant Islam wants us dead. Let's get serious about this... Let Israel pound Syria into ruins and let the US go after Iran. Iraq is only one part of the enemy. And by whatever means available, get the Nukes out of N. Korean hands. What kind of future do we want to leave for our kid's? Our political correctness is currently squandering our future just as the world did in the 1930's prior to the Nazi's and Japanese expansions. Only war made them into friends.
50. Damascus gets NUKED !
Stone ,   Seattle USA   (07.19.06)
Read Isaiah 17 Verse 1. Damascus will cease to exist. Go Israel !!!!!!!! Our prayers are with you. Fight on brothers and don't stop until you achieve total victory ! Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
51. re: Syria Arming hibullah
Dave ,   California   (07.19.06)
Standard response we would expect from a cowardly french muslim - and both the french and and psycho wing of the muslim religion are cowards. Israel will kick the ass of any coward, and I hope they do. By the way, I am Catholic and 100% support the current operation, although it is not strong enough. GO ISRAEL!!!!!!!!
52. RE: # 8 - Chris
T. A. Adams ,   Right Here   (07.19.06)
Chris, Chris, Chris.. do you always believe everything the Syrian government tells you? Of course they say they were medical supplies. Didn’t you notice the other day Syria made that generous offer for anyone from any country who wanted to flee Lebanon to come to Syria and they would provide them transportation home. Well Chris, that offer was so they could keep a road or two open. They knew their proxy military wing is going to soon start running low on supplies so they tried to sneak some into them on that road. When their supplies got destroyed do you really believe they would tell the world the truth about what was in those crates? Don't be so gullible Chris

God bless the IDF. Take the fight to Syria now.
55. Medical Supplies?
John ,   St.Louis, Mo.   (07.19.06)
Medical Supplies do not have secondary explosions when hit. Munitions do.
56. Re: #2
Jeff ,   Moncton, Canada   (07.19.06)
Israel is a sovreign nation that has the right to buy arms from whoever it wishes since there is an inherent right to self-defence that comes with statehood. Hezbollah is a TERRORIST group and has NO RIGHT to weapons of ANY SORT. They hide behind civilians because they know Israel is a moral opponent and play on this to their own sick advantage. They are not even honorable enough to fight for their country, they are fighting for their masters in Iran and Syria who are too afraid to enter the stage and do it themselves. Far easier to pull the strings and send cash to the families of the dead later... and even better if all the wrecked infrastructure affects only the poor citizens of Lebanon.
57. Syria's Declaration of war.
Tyrone ,   Faroe Islands   (07.19.06)
Chaim wrote--"When is the IAF going to bomb the hell out of these Syrian military targets? Obviously Syria is actively at war against Israel. This is a plain and simple fact. Hezbolla will not cease firing until the Syrian military is neutralized. They are clearly the rear position (hiding behind their Hezbollah soldiers) in this active attack upon Jewish Israeli civilians. It is totally intolerable that Israel delay defending itself against Syrias blatant and despicable aggression a moment longer. I call upon the Israeli government to confront this military force immediately. " Why bother attacking Syria If syria is going to funnel eveything through Hezollah anyway? Eventually Syria will get sick of their loses and stop their support and leave hezbulah to be crushed. Afterward they (syria) will have deniability as to losing the battle and claim Isreal is mean to have done what they have done. All the while licking their own wounds with the realization that Isreal isn't as lame as they thought. Then they will have to go back to the drawing board and devise a new stradgy.
58. Palestinian Authority/Hezbollah/Peace
Mark ,   Dubai, UAE   (07.19.06)
Hamas was on the verge of signing a document recognizing Israel a few weeks ago as a means of ending sanctions. In fact, they did sign it -but immediately thereafter the first Israeli soldier was kidnapped by Hamas; followed a few days later by two more soldiers by Hezbollah. The political arm of Hamas was at variance with the terrorist arm of Hamas also HQ'd in Syria. Historically, both organizations know that they can get away with a few suicide bombers and rocket attacks, but they KNOW that Israel will stop at nothing...i.e. Israel will get rabid and foam at the mouth, if one of their people is taken hostage. Raid on Antebe being one good example, but numerous others. The incredulous demands of Hamas and Hezbollah would seem self-insulting...by their own account their demand to release a 1000 Palestinian/Lebanese prisoners for 1 or 2 Israeli soldiers? Very poor bargaining...and insults their own cause on top of it...
59. IDF Intel: Bomb anything, they're all terrorists...
Love not War ,   Australia   (07.19.06)
Thos trucks were medical supplies from the UAE not bombs, I can't believe your people swallow all this bullshit from your government.
60. RE: # 8 - Chris
SB ,   Melbourne, Australia   (07.19.06)
In this case i don't think you can believe what anyone says. Of course Isreal will say anything they bomb is a military target (or even better yet is coming from Syria) because it strengthens their hand and in their mind legitimizes their overuse of force. Conversely, of course Hizbullah will claim they were medical supplies to strengthen their hand. But what i don't see in this article is any sort of "proof" that what they are reporting is the truth. Beyond supplying proof, they article is just propaganda.
