1. EXCELLENT RECORD KEEPING
Truth hurts   (07.26.06)
Yes thats excellent record keeping. Now can you enlighten the world with how many bombs and artillary shells have been dropped or fired onto Lebanon, fair is fair. We all know how many innocent civillians and UN soldiers the IDF and Israeli government has murdered, so whats the number? By the way there is still 10 500 remaining, give or take the 50 % the IDF has destroyed and those continually coming over the border. TRUTH HURTS

Ben ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (07.26.06)

Huzbullah captured us soliders and you want us to talk with them and stop war? lol idiots. i try to think what you think and i can't be so idiot -.- them want us to give terrorist for the soliders that captured. if we give them so them will capture more and more soliders because them know that its help them. so we must show them thats this not the way.

Your Uncle Bob ,   Washington, DC   (07.26.06)
This site is one of the few sites where you can actually read the count of dead and injured Israelis. Go read CNN, ABC, CBS or any of the Arab news sites and ALL you will read about is the number of dead Lebanese children. Nevermind the dead Jews, right? Who cares about them? Lets pretend to ignore the fact that Israel didn't start the war, but was attacked. (Yet again, I might add) Nah, lets just focus on the dead Lebanese. People like you, and most of the world, don't really view dead Jews as much of a problem anyway.
6. children ?!
(07.26.06)
Are the few Jewish children better then the hundreds of Lebanese children that your IDF killers murderd ??? ahhhhhhhhh, i forgot, you are a fat dirty yankee and to you its no problem, maybe another 9/11 will chnage you mind ...
7. #6...are you serious???
DR ,   Florida, USA   (07.26.06)
Or are you that dumb??? Your heroes, the Hezballah hide behind women and children all the time. You should know that by now. So you want Israel to not do anything after these rockets rain down on her cities...are you retarded? Israel will defend itslef no matter what it takes, so stop hiding behind your sister after you fire a rocket and she won't get hurt, get it??? You are a delusional, demented person. Go join the fight, see what happes!!!
8. Yeh Uncle Bob #5
C Solis ,   Hallandale Florida   (07.26.06)
I actually watch FoxNews since it covers what is happening in Israel as much if not more than what is happening in Lebanon. You are right, most newspapers and television stations are very biased toward the 'poor arab nations' Why don't they use some of their money on something other than war?
9. T0 1#6# open your eyes!!
Emily ,   Tel Aviv   (07.27.06)
You have to understand that Israel is dealing with a terror organization which want in the end not only hurt Israel but other democratic nations.. The IDF never set is goal to hurt civilians or the UN soldiers..i don't think that i can say the same thing in contex of the hizbulla..and for num.1 and 6 before you open your mouth and say such silly things..think! so you don't make a fool of yourself..like you did!!
10. 100 chickens killed
David ,   Arkansas   (07.27.06)
Is it newsworthy that 100 chickens were killed, but not newsworthy to report how many innocent Lebanese children were killed?
11. to #9
Lebanese Life ,   Beirut,Lebanon   (07.27.06)
Terror Organization? All they do is defend there country. If Isreal would stop provoking them, and stop planning secret missions which nasrallah found and prevented it by capturing the 2 soldiers. Hez has undercover everywhere, so the news got to them about the US and Israeli plan to elminate who they believe stands in there way to create the new ME. so my friend I reckon you are wrong.
12. 1400 Rockets and nobody know in the US!
Jacques ,   Southern California   (07.27.06)
I watched ABC news tonight and there was not one mention of 1400 rockets being fired into Israel. All they showed was the "innocent" civilians of Lebanon. Gee I wonder of ABC has an agenda with this war...
13. Ask the Lebanese
Wally ,   US   (07.27.06)
I am sure Lebanese keep track of all the missles we fired. Truth doesn't hurt, missles hurt.
14. 1400 Rockets $$$$$$
Bott ,   USA   (07.27.06)
How much do 1400 rockets cost? How many of the poor could have helped with that money? Perhaps helping people really is not their goal?
15. #10, 11 inocent but decieved
Ray ,   San diego USA   (07.27.06)
I saw a picture of a group of innocent Lebanese children in a Hezbolah version of boyscouts. They were in camoflage and saluting nazi style. These are the next generation of murdering terrorists. This conflict won't end just because Isreal stops defending itself. The only thing that can stop it is for Arabs and muslems to stop lying to thier children, and admitt that they have been driven by pure hate. As for Hezbolah, #11, you need to read their charter, which clearly states the destruction of isreal as its goal. If Hezbolah laid down their arms today there would be peace. If Isreal laid down its arms there would be a second holacost. Get real. Wake up and smell the dung you are shoveling!
16. Hezbolah
Chuck ,   France   (07.27.06)
The comments by #6 & #11 show the hate. Nothing can change that. As for #6's comment about another 9/11, try that and a nuke would be in order.
17. #11
Amazed ,   Virginia, USA   (07.27.06)
Right, right, NOT a terrorist organization, b/c we all know that's bad. But Hezbollah DOES target non-combatants for the purpose of striking fear and terror into Israelis; they even SAY so. IDF target strategic and tactical sites b/c they respect the law of war and understand how counterproductive it is to target civilian populations. They may take actions that result in collateral damage--and yes, the life of every Lebanese man, woman, and child DO matter--but that is NOT their goal. If the captured soldiers were part of an IDF plan/conspiracy, we'd have heard that from H by now and they'd have tortured the information from the soldiers as well. Those two would be far more useful for media purposes if there were ANY truth to what #11 claims. You judge.
18. Do you Get it Yet!!
Scott ,   New Jersey, USA   (07.27.06)
"It is a Jihad for the sake of God and will last until (our) religion prevails ... from Spain to Iraq," Do you people in Spain and the rest of the EU understand that this is what the terrorist want. We ALL have to fight them NOW, or resign ourselves to praying to allah. I rather die fighting.
19. Hizbullah war crimes
Jack Bauer ,   Los Angeles USA   (07.27.06)
It is a war crime to use human shields as Hizbullah is doing. They hide among women, children, hospitals, mosques, etc., which is defined as a war crime. Why isn't the incompetent UN leader Kofi Annan demanding that Hizbullah quit committing war crimes? The Hizbullah are gutless and need to be killed, all of them. Israel takes many precautions to minimized injuries to civilians. On the other hand, Hizbullah tries to maximize injuries to civilians.
20. reply to #6
mr obvious ,   cocoa, usa   (07.27.06)
Yes they are better, because they have not been infected by the islamic desease.
21. targeting civilians
Student of History ,   San Francisco, CA   (07.28.06)
A previous poster mentioned that targeting civilians was counterproductive in war. Actually, nothing could be further from the truth. Guerillas like Hezbollah are able to exist and maintain operations because they enjoy the support of the population within which they operate. Slaughter enough of the population, and they lose that support, either due to the change in opinion, or the change in population. I would, in fact, argue that killing civilians on purpose is just about the only way to suppress guerillas. How did Alexander the Great conquer Afghanistan? Butchering people by the village. How did the USA defeat Japan? We killed two CITIES. Incidentally, by that time, we had bombed 80% of Tokyo into rubble with conventional bombs. This partial, nice-guy approach to war that the west takes now is the perfect recipe for ending up in 50-year low intensity conflicts. The enemy will not stop attacking you until you pummel them so badly that they realize peace is a better option, and that war only leads to death and destruction. Go read Clausewitz.
22. Israel will prevail.
Peter   (07.28.06)
Israel was and always will be for Israel and the Jewish people. The murderer "prophet" Mohamed tried to wipe them out, but the land was always theirs and never "Palestinian". Continue the fight IDF! Don't give up any more of your land. Don't be afraid of these islamic fascists that seem to infest the middle east. God bless you.
23. Yes, record keeping matters
Meira ,   Cupertino, USA   (07.30.06)
Since it is well known that Hizbullah hides among civilians, that means that these 1,000+ rockets were brought into their neighborhoods. You'd think someone would have noticed all this. I'm not blaming civilians for living there, but they should have known that when you live near terrorists, and there is a war, you MUST get out of the way.
24. You Hide like the Hezbos
P.Pittman ,   Elverta, USA   (08.03.06)
You coward! You hide behing your initials like the Hezbos hide behing innocent children. What amazes me is how you run to a free country to espouse the filth that pours from your mouth. perhaps a speaking tour in the Middle East is the best remedy for you. Only in America can you espouse your hate so freely -- try a walk on the other side and your head will be delivered on a platter ... courtesy of the Hezbos!
