91. 4: #72, #74, #86 and #87
Jim ,   NY USA   (07.23.06)
RE: #72 Only about 25% of the USA's population might be considered idiots... and they are those Amerikans that voted for BushCo in 2004. RE: #74 You may be a PROTESTANT but you are not much of a CHRISTian now are you. RE: #86 I' am not at all surprised that the two countries with a special relationship with the USA both have a military that's "Rules of Engagement as for civilians" are the same. Summary Execution and then record it as collateral damage.. And you claim to be civilized. What a fucking joke. Yeah I know Amerika now openly behaves the same way. I guess Amerika did not use any "Protection" with its special relationships. RE: #87 You used the exact sentiment that the Nazis' used: "..must be exterminated for the good of..."
92. To # 75. Hate or anger?
Alex ,   Mexico   (07.23.06)
Remember how you felt on 9/11? That was one day in your life. Israelis have been arab targets for almost 60 years. How should they feel? besides, you are wron, it´s not hate, it´s anger. A few years ago tens of thousands of people were in that same place demanding the goverment to get out of lebanon, demanding peace for their children. Years have passed, their kids grew up and are the ones having to fight to get the peace their parents dreamed of.
93. Conservatives Will Stand With You
Tony ,   Santa Cruz, CA USA   (07.23.06)
To the Brave People of Isreal: We will stand beside you and support and defeat the terrorist scum of the world. We are honored to be your brothers.
94.  #91
Tom ,   Middleburg, USA   (07.23.06)
The Charter of Hezbollah is hate. Destruction of the Jewish state. So there is no negotiation with someone bent on your destruction period. So it stands to reason that it may be necessary to kill hundreds of them, if we are to protect the lives of millions of our own citizens. You obviously have your contexts messed up because the Jews were never a threat to Hitler or Nazism. Now if you were to say that the Islamo-Facists bent on the destructionof the Jewish state of Israel are like the Nazi's then to that I concur.
95. And Liberals will align with Hezballah
Tom ,   Middleburg, USA   (07.23.06)
The position of the Liberals in America is hate George W. Bush at all costs so therefore when the President says we must eraticate the terrorists the Left sides with the terrorists... Pity Liberals would sell their own country down the toilet for political gain.
96. real courage
Alexe ,   Israel   (07.23.06)
THIS is real courage: http://faustasblog.com/2006/07/sign-of-courage-in-madrid.html
97. Protest your own survival?
mitzi ,   USA   (07.23.06)
Call me old-fashioned, but when did it become PC to proest your own survival?
98. #81- Tell me what noble cause Uri Avnery was serving when he
Márcia ,   Brazil   (07.23.06)
offered himself as an human (?) shield for Arafat?
99. soldiers, refuse to serve illegal war
nicole ,   la, usa   (07.23.06)
patritotic israelis refuse to kill lebenese and palestinian civilians.
100. #99 Since when Israel ceased to be a sovereign State?
Márcia ,   Brazil   (07.23.06)
Illegal war? "Says who? Calvin Klein?" Susan Sarandon? Kofi Annan? Hugorilla Chávez? You are clueless, aren't you?
101. #99
michael ,   la, usa   (07.23.06)
Good thinking! And if it is against the law as you say (I'm having trouble remembering which law it is myself), you should call the police and tell them to arrest the soldiers.
102. Reality Check
Devin ,   Tucson USA   (07.23.06)
Some people will always be morons. If 40 million Jews put it in writing they wanted to wipe Germany of the map and another 460 million gave their support for the cause no one could blame Germany for what it did. However they didn't, they in no way threatened them ever, they actually supported that country earning, professorships and Iron Crosses for valor in combat for the fatherland. So don't ever compare Israel to Germany. Every other country on earth if they had the capability would have absolutely destroyed Gaza, West Bank, and Southern Lebabon without hesitation years ago. It is just because my fellow Jesus rejectors are held to a higher standard the world is against them for ever standing up for themselves. Remember more people have died in Iraq from violence this year or in a month of an African ethnic cleansing than the entire history of the Israel defending itself. Europe has no right or moral base to even complain 80 million dead in one century! And the only thing that stopped it was that they were pawns in an even bigger cock fight.
103. 99 nicole: from the land of fruits and nuts
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (07.23.06)
1st: Intl. Law you obviously have NO clue of - it is NOT a suicide pact But it does say in the Geneva convention ..... Article 28 states that "protected persons may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations," nullifying the Argument that the IDF violates Intl. Law. Which is exactly what Hizbullah and Hamas does - it is an Arab habit This is how others see it: FACTS: Open letter to Olmert from the Lebanese Foundation for Peace. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Support_Israel/message/16217;_ylc=X3oDMTJydXNmNnUwBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE1BGdycElkAzI1ODEyMzUEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNjAxMTQ0Nzc3BG1zZ0lkAzE2MjE3BHNlYwNkbXNnBHNsawN2bXNnBHN0aW1lAzExNTI5MzgzODE- More facts: http://www.free-lebanon.com/ More facts from Brigitte Gabriel A Lebanese http://www.americancongressfortruth.com/ Arabs for Israel http://www.arabsforisrael.com/ The divided loyalties of Lebanon http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5200628.stm THANK YOU, ISRAEL!" -- Exiled Lebanese Christians Speak Out From The Diaspora By Brigitte Gabriel http://www.iconoclast.ca/MainPage.asp?page=/WhatsHot.asp <<<<< scroll down for article Brigitte Gabriel Discusses Pro-Israel Policies on CNN http://www.somebodyhelpme.info/videos/Brigitte_Gabriel_Discusses_Pro-Israel_Policies_on_CNN_07-19-06.wmv
104. Peace, Love, and Communism.
Sheckie ,   Jerusalem   (07.23.06)
Yeah that's logical Communism = peace. That must be the reason Stalin murdered millions of his own people. Next time think before you act, and expose your ignorance to the world.
105. Peaceniks and loonies
Don ,   Arizona, USA   (07.23.06)
These people make me want to vomit. Can you imagine a world under their leadership? Israel would be wiped out; America would appease terrorists organizations and eventually be conquered; Europe would be full of Islamic States within a generation, and the our Western culture would be gone for good not long after. Israel...thinking people all over the world thank you for doing this hard work. See it through. Fu*k these idiots who would rather see you destroyed in the name of "peace." Good people who cherish freedom and life support you.
106. Idiots
Henry Dillard ,   U, S. A.   (07.23.06)
I though we had a monopoly on idiot here in the U. S, but apparently some of Ted Kennedy's ignorance spekked over to your country.
107. Disgusting ! Go to North Korea &Cuba
Sharon ,   Israel   (07.23.06)
We have left the occupied territories , but the fanatic Muslims want our little piece of land. They want all of it ! Why don't the protestors get out of our land and live in the last communist countries left in the world? They will be probably most welcome in these most enlightened countries . Go to hell, and the sooner- the better !!!
108. ARAB MK: 'I ADVISED PA TO KIDNAP SOLDIER'
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (07.23.06)
Treason and maliciously endangering IDF soldiers' lives by Arab MKs is allowed in Israel whilst patriotic Jews are punished and jailed and regarded as ENEMIES OF THE STATE. It is urgent that demonstrations are held outside the Knesset and outside Israeli consulates world-wide to protest that Arab MKs are allowed to commit treason - collude with the enemy - repeatedly call for intifada against Israel - and encourage global jihadist religious supremacists to kidnap IDF soldiers. And to protest the persecution and politically-motivated, unjust jailing of Jewish patriots. israelnationalnews.com Arab MK: 'I Advised PA to Kidnap Soldier' Jul 09, '06 / 13 Tammuz 5766 by Hillel Fendel Knesset Member Wasal Taha, corresponding publicly with internet surfers on the Arabic-language IslamOnline site, said he repeatedly advised PA terrorists to battle and kidnap Israeli soldiers. According to a report in Maariv newspaper on Sunday, Taha told surfers on Thursday that he repeatedly advised the PA Arabs to stop shooting and targeting civilians, and to concentrate on IDF targets... http://www.israelnn.com/news.php3?id=106857
109. "Peace Movement" leftists urged appeasing Hitler in 30's.
Bill ,   Charlotte, VT, USA   (07.23.06)
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Fear not. The record shows how Popular Front leftists in France and Labor leftists in UK urged appeasing Hitler even as Poland fell. Lenin had a good point about useful idiots but leftists, too, always plant the seeds of their own destruction.
110. Peace
Liza ,   Canton, OH USA   (07.23.06)
Enough with the fighting already. Unless all of us on this planet work together to reduce CO2 emissions, all this fighting will be for nothing, because there will no water left in the Middle East, just sand. To the Arabs, I say forget about the land you lost and work to make what you have better. Make life for your people better. Otherwise you will be locked in an unending cycle of revenge and everyone will lose. Think of all the time, money and resources that have been spent on decades of fighting. Then think what both sides could have accomplished if those things had been directed to something positive. My heart goes out to the innocent people on both sides who are suffering because of those who seem to know no other way but violence. I pray for all of you.
111. communists will be our downfall
John Mendribil ,   Rohnert Park, CA USA   (07.23.06)
At least in Israel, the communists are blantant about who they are as they try to destroy yet another strong coutry. The cold war is not over, as it rages on in universities, schools, the media, and politically. We beat communism's militaries, but they are winning minds. They want strong countries to appease the weak tyrants, thereby weakening Israel, USA, Europe. Do not let them allow us to hang ourselves with a rope we made. Fight on, fight for peace and you will have it in your lifetime. I pray for Israel.
112. Israeli occupation
thomas ,   Canada   (07.23.06)
It is no longer U.S.A, changed to U.S of Israel, and to confuse the issue Conda Rioce is in the Middle East with a peace proposal which includes delivering Guided missiles to Israel.
113. Where's the Muslim March Against Hizballah?
David ,   Wesley Chaple, USA   (07.23.06)
What the %@$# wrong with these Muslims who can't just let Iseral exist? So what if they have a sliver of land in the middle east. Why does the press give any attention to these freaks who protest Isreal for defending itself?
114. To lose one's mind
David ,   Florida USA   (07.23.06)
Sure they can protest but no one has to togive these mental midgets any attention. They can go screw themselves for all I care.
115. Liza, Study Islam
Jim ,   Texas   (07.23.06)
Liza, it would be nice if we could all live together in peace and harmony, however, this will not be possible as long as Islam & their communist brothers hold sway over such a large part of the world. It is counter to the tenents of Islam to live in harmony with infidels like jews and christians. Study Islam to learn of the real threat to peace.
116. PEACE!!!
Moforen ,   USA   (07.23.06)
We will win the peace with USA missles! Kill those sandies!
117. #91 Naive
Michelle ,   Ohio, USA   (07.23.06)
Jim in NY, who don't you travel to the Middle East and try and negotiate with Islamic-Nazi terrorist? Your liberal fellow kinsman Nicholas Berg traveled out there solely to help with the rebuilding efforts of Iraq. Look what happened to him! He was beheaded live on film Islamic-Nazi terrorist do not make distinction between you and George W. Bush. Grow up already!!!
118. Re: 104. Peace, Love, and Communism.
Gordon ,   Philadelphia USA   (07.23.06)
What, you don't think 20 million dead isn't peaceful? How absolutely brain dead and/or self loathing do you have to be for this mentality to make sense? No one really wants to see Lebanese civilians dead. Period. But besides laying down and dying (or being sent to Siberia, apparently) this "give peace a chance" B.S. doesn't work. And under the U.S.S.R. banner? WTF?
119. Laughable
William ,   Watertown, NY, USA   (07.23.06)
Just like the Israeli Soldiers, this American Soldier laughs at the hammer and sickle carrying fools.
120. Cowards
David ,   USA   (07.23.06)
Every country has its share of cowards. People who seem to think that "war is not the answer". Well by God sometime war is the only answer. These "protesters" seem to think that you can reason with terrorists. Terrorists are reasonable right up to the point where they get the upper hand, then they behead you.
