31. Poor Jews and Yankees !!!
Libyan Guy ,   Italy   (07.22.06)
As for the Jews, they are in deep shit since 4500 years and will continue so forever but the yankess are following, as 9/11 didn't teach them anything, maybe Iraq is starting to show that you can export democracy on the American hambuger style. they will never understand how determind people are arabs and they may loose all the wars to come but no peace will come to you Jews and Yankees ...

Jack ,   Lebanon   (07.22.06)
Lebanon was trying until now to solve the matter with Hezbollah. Trust me it was going to work. The media hidden the fact that Lebanese were negotiating with Hezbollah to apply the 1559 wihout blood bath. Put yourself in our shoes: WE CAN NOT AFFORD ANOTHER CIVIL WAR.
33. Help for our friends
Patricia ,   Hawaii, USA   (07.22.06)
The article discussed that the Arab countries would not like this but this should not be a reason for whether or not we help Israel. Other countries, as Israel has found out, will hate you no matter what you do. It is better to maintain our friendships,( Israel has come to bat so many times for the US) than to worry about who will hate us. To # 18We will deal with anymore 9/11's that would happen anyway just because some people are filled with envy and hate. Let us not make decisions based on what if's but on what is the right thing to do. I think this is one way to prevent 9/11's by helping Israel get rid of a big problem for the entire world. Unfortunately, Israel will pay the biggest price as their young soldier's lives are at risk while we drink our coffee's and watch the TV. I am very sorry for this, historically, the Jews have paid a major price in lives already just to survive.

RLD ,   Houston, USA   (07.22.06)
Negotiate with Hezbollah? The only negotiations savages understand are those now falling from the sky. The die was cast six years ago when Lebanon - a sovereign nation defying a UN resolution - allowed surrogates from the east to fill the vaccum after Israel abandoned its occupation (necessitated by the same savages). Afghanistan played host to medeval savages which caused a war in 2001. Saddam violated 17 UN resolutions which led to war in 2003. Now, Lebanon has to learn by example what it refused to embrace by history: harbor terrorists and you are an accessory to their crimes. I feel sorry for your plight.
35. Thank you President Bush.
Dalia Steiner ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.22.06)
Dear president Bush, Administrations and to all americans. Here from Jerusalem, Israel we are sending to you our love. It is our time now to protect our homes and families. It is our time to show we didn't forget 9/11. It is our time to catch "our" Bin Laden-Naserallah. It is our time now, to tel you we are doing it for our security, for freedom, democracy,for global and peace in the Middle East. There is no other way. We have to get rid of Hesbollah and all other terror organizations who dreams about total Jihad and to rule the . world. They wont succeed. No way.This dream will turen for them to a nightmare. God Bless America. God Bless you President Bush
36. # 34 Comedic genius
Stacie ,   Canada   (07.22.06)
Every American with an ounce of objectivity knows Israel is as guilty of violating UN parameters as any other regional entity. What do you say with start by discussing nuclear weapons?
37. US Dollars Put To Good Use For Change
Michael Ghostwolf ,   Bella Vista, Ark US   (07.22.06)
I have to preface every message I write with "no, i'm not a jew or a christian zionist" I am an American who is an Anti-Jihadist and let me say this, I hope we send some nice bunker busters to Israel, we wasted billions of dollars on "Palestine" just to have Arafat lock the money up in some account in Switzerland. Go Israel!
38. Thinking caps
Jack ,   Lebanon   (07.22.06)
I don't agree that violance is going to make things better. Look around you.....desperate people are becoming terrorists. And war is making more of these desperate people. Negotiations takes times. From inside Lebanon we were feeling the change. Now everything is over and war is not going to end tomorrow...I hope it will end right now...but i can't see how.
39. #26 Mitch you retard:
Khalid   (07.22.06)
"The Israelis receive a small fraction of this money, to help offset the advantage posed by the Arabs because of their oil wealth." Israel doesn't fight Oil-Arabs, it fights those Arabs that have no oil. When was the last time Israel attacked Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar or the UAE?? And why does Israel get money to offset the Arab's oil advantage when Lebanon does not enjoy this same money? or Palestine? Should we not also receive money to offset the advantage that Israel has gained by offseting the Oil Arabs' advantage???

Tal   (07.22.06)
and you bring us the construction.I would be glad to see here fighting us in Gaza .....
43. Khalid, Iran has no oil!?
Your Uncle Bob ,   Washington, DC   (07.22.06)
Khalid, better think before calling other people retards. Who is largely funding Hizbollah? That's right. Iran. Where does Iran get a large chunk of it's national revenue? That's right. Oil. So who is Israel fighting? That's right. Arab countries enriched by oil. Do we need to whip out the crayons and draw you a picture? Or do you think you can handle a thought that wasn't force-fed to you from Al Jazeera or your local mosque?
44. Stacie
Michelle ,   USA   (07.22.06)
"They went to Iraq on a suspicion of WMD's, but let North Korea develop nukes" You're an idiot. We let North Korea devlope Nukes? Where the hell was your precious UN or the big bad EU? Assholes like you blame everything on the Americans and don't lift a finger yourselves to help out. Where was Canada Stacie? "Israel is sending its sons and daughters to dies because the USA won't set foot in Iran" You are a true canadian idiot! THE EU asked the United States to step back and let them handle the crisis in Iran. What have they accomplished? You don't know shit about anything Stacie, other than what your liberal moronic media peddles to you and you swallow it as the gospel truth. It's quite convenient for morons like you to sit back and play judge and jury on the world situation because you know that Canada will never be held responsible for anything. You keep working that way Stacie but do the world a favor and keep your canadian trap shut! Your bullshit helps noone!
45. Khalid #39
BS meter ,   Canada   (07.22.06)
Palestinians, Egyptians, and other non-oil-rich Arab states do get US money, not to mention European money. (At least the Palestinians did before they elected Hamas to govern them, which everyone knows would just use the $ to stockpile weapons.) You might want to talk to Suha about it, or to the militias that constitute your entire economy..
46. #44, Michelle speaking to Stacie
BS meter ,   Canada   (07.22.06)
I'm a Canadian citizen, but I want to tell you, Michelle, that you're right. I actually love this country for many things, but the increasing sanctimony of many of the people here is not amongst them. Lots of Canadians carry on about our tradition as "peacekeepers." One of our former prime ministers, Lester Pearson, was the brains behidn UN peacekeeping forces. He came up with it during the Suez Canal crisis in '56. In fact, though, Pearson himself expressed dismay, a mere 10 years later, at what a bad job they turned out to do anywhere peace was actually needed. But Canadians like to carry on about their proud tradition as peacekeepers, while they sit around and criticize Americans. One of the best things Canadians ever did was fight bravely in WWII. Since then, they're been resting on their laurels (or what they think are their laurels), alas.
47. smart bombs....
BS meter ,   Canada   (07.22.06)
....to kill stupid people. What a terrible waste all around.
48. Michelle, step out of your ghetto
Stacie ,   Canada   (07.22.06)
Since when has UN made any difference in the USA's foreign policy? Michelle, you do know you are in Iraq against UN policy and international law, don't you? If the USA can't step into North Korea or Iran, it should do like everyone else and shut the hell up about their policies. Now go back whining to the UN for it to convince other countries to fight your wars.
49. Gentile Zionists?
Patricia ,   Hawaii, USA   (07.22.06)
I have been reading these posts and others in other sites. I keep reading mostly Arab or Palistinan posts refering to Bush, the Pentagon and people who, like me, are not Jewish, being referred to as Zionists. Is this true, can we who support Israel have something else in comman, are we Zionists? I have wondered about this for days, hopefully this question is not stupid or obvious. I see that in most cases the referral to being a Zionist is derrogatory. Is that related to the desire of the writee to expel the Israelis. I would appreciate a response from an informed Israeli.
50. Judaism is the antichrist religion
antisatan ,   here and there   (07.22.06)
Thats right! Jews are against Christ, the teachings of Christ, and Christians. Therefore, they are the "antichrist" religion. I believe this helps explain what the zionist regime and it's peons are really up to.... Say shalom, lucifer's children!
51. BS meter
Michelle   (07.22.06)
I mean no disrespect to the good things Canada has done and is doing in Afghanastan at this moment. We have people like "Stacie" in my country as well and her bullshit was just too much to take.
52. some thoughts about the UN (read and learn Stacie)
Jennifer Teff ,   Nahariya Israel   (07.22.06)
The UN is a democracy of member countries. The member countries include non-democratic countries and totalitarian dictatorships. All of these countries get to vote. By definition Israel will violate UN parameters. The precious UN voted that Zionism is racism. The Arab/Muslim block uses the UN to pass resolutions. The UNIFIL soldiers watched Hizbullah kidnap 3 Israeli soldiers in 2000. Israel is the only country that doesn't belong to a geographic region which means that Israel cannot serve on various committees. The only refugees that exist from 50 years ago are the Palestinians and this is thanks to the UN maintaining this status instead of trying to help them out of their plight. (There were MILLIONS OF JEWISH REFUGEES FROM WWII AND FROM ARAB COUNTRIES all of whom have settled somewhere and they are no longer refugees). All of the above is just off the top of my head. The list of bias decisions and policies of the UN against Israel goes on and on. Don't wave the UN parameters as something sacred if you expect to be taken seriously.
53. With all due respect Jennifer
Stacie ,   Canada   (07.22.06)
What's your point with the UN backgrounder? I'm by no means an expert on Middle Eastern issues and I do appreciate your input. Your honesty about being a real Israeli is also very refreshing. However, some people commenting here are doing a grave disservice to your country, your history and likely your future with this attitude of all is permitted because it's Israel. People such as Michelle get insulted when I say Americans are not as pro-Israeli biased as she thinks. She should know a poll was released today showing a majority of Americans want their government to stay out of it. We read in this article that Americans are shipping bombs and I'll bet it has something to do with this spineless administration having no qualms about fighting peasants with missiles. I sure hope Israel shows better judgement and restraint.
54. Michelle
Randy ,   OKC, US   (07.23.06)
Michelle, you can't argue with people like Stacie. It's like banging your head against a brick wall. It's so dense you will never get through no matter how hard you try. I think that Stacie is a freshman at a Canadian University. This is the first time she has ever been away Beaversnatch Canada alone. Now she gets to the big city and has all liberal professors. Probably a couple of arab ones. Now she realizes that everything mom and dad told her is wrong. It just isn't worth the effort.
55. Israel/Hezballah
Tim ,   USA   (07.23.06)
The war onterorism has become a Joke. The only reason hezballah stays in Lebanon is because the Lebanese Military doesn't support the Palestinians at all. Nor does the stupid UN. Why hasn't the UN made Israel comply with resolution 1559? Why hasn't the UN Forced the Israelis out of palestine and stopped the occupational POLICE State there? Palestine has become a prison. Not a place to live. The UN has failed every subject matter in that region. I wonder how Americans would feel if Israel was Bombing Americans because they are christian? And not jewish? WELL? Israel is Bombing Lebanon because they are muslims. Yes it is just a race war. Who are we to tell people what religion they must follow? Even if it is extremist?\ Of course. Americans establishment isn't run By their government. It is run By the Tri-Lateral commision and the CFR. But Americans are so stupis and retarded. They don't know scrap about what has become of their own country! DIPSHITS with no knowledge will fight a war for any reason.
56. Response to #55. Israel/Hezballah
Dick Sommerfeld ,   Seward, Nebraska USA   (07.23.06)
I am so glad you are not American. You have no understanding how America works. Please stay where you are and keep making your silly statements. You are the one who is stupi(s) and retarded. Don't ask if you need the USA to protect you one of these days.
57. TIMMY #55
Randy ,   OKC, USA   (07.24.06)
Dude, you forgot about the Illuminati, the Bilderbergs, the Skull and Bones, the Kights Templar and the Venutians. The CFR and the Trilateral Commision are just little fish, DUMBASS! So many conspiracy theories, so little time. Think clear like me though and wear aluminum foil on you head. It keeps THEM from reading your thought. You truly are an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"but North Korea's people have been crawling sacks of bones" North Korea lives, i mean dies, under a repressive communist regime. South Korea is prospering under a free democratic society. You do the math.
