68. WHY WERE CIVILIANS STILL THERE?....
Ertok   (07.30.06)
After rockets were launched. Hizbollah must have stopped them leaving?. NO NEVER!

Zik ,   Lebanon   (07.30.06)
No BODY warned Qana , stop believe your offecials , even Israel is built on a lie , well, take a big breath , War has been just started...
70. Zionist Israel = A Pox On Humanity
Gary Harris ,   USA   (07.30.06)
To the moral deviants all who blame Hezbollah for Israel's atrocities - while it may make you feel better believing this fiction, like the one that exalts Israel as the "light unto nations," the sane world knows the truth. Zionist controlled Israel will do anything to steal land and water from other nations and then blame the people there when they defend themselves and fight back. No one believes you except for the criminal cabal currently infesting the White House. Stop insulting the civilized world's intelligence with your transparent lies.
71. What a great victory you had achieved, Israel
Ali ,   Palestine   (07.30.06)
Congratulations for you and your supporters who are so proud of killing civilians in Lebanon and Palestine. For Mr. stephane ! No wonder
72. please stop killing civilians
monique ,   amsterdam   (07.30.06)
They look like children not hezbollah fighters in the pictures here. IDF- Stop finding excuses for trying to kill adult male fighters but ending up destroying whole buildings with a lot of innocent people in it.
73. Getting fed up with fanatics
Sam ,   Canada   (07.30.06)
Everyone knows that groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and Al Qaida don't distinguish between civilian and soldier. It shouldn't be shocking that western countries lose their inhibitions with such barbaric people.
74. wait for the respond now !
arabic girl ,   tunisia   (07.30.06)
israel don t want to kill civilians! israeli s gvmt has moral and afraid to kill inocent people ! big liars! never say that hezbullah is responsible for this massacre, was he responsible for the old one? now you can see who is the terrorist here! but this 55 lives will not go for nothing! wait for the respond now ! its your fault and you ll pay for it!
75. Israel is losing
Barry   (07.30.06)
Firing indiscriminately at civilians is the behavior of a nation shaken to its core by a bunch of ragtag fighters. They don't have a single airplane yet they've forced the nation of the "Six Day War" into desperation. Israel's actions have left Jews everywhere exposed to worldwide condemnation and contempt. As the world's only Jewish state, I can tell you that NO ONE wants to be a Jew because your actions are pharoanic.
76. The Hezbollah is to blame
Rafi ,   Ra'anana   (07.30.06)
The Hezbollah terrorists have been launching rockets into Israel from the vicinity of that demolished building and they used to take shelter in the structures of this neighborhood after launching the rockets. In addition, the civilian population has been warned to leave this area since Israel is going to hit it. The death of civilians is very regrettable but unfortunately, these are the consequences when terrorists use civilian population as a human shield and the blame therefore, is squarely on Hezbollah.
77. Israel does not target civilians
Moti ,   Herzliya   (07.30.06)
First of all, the death of the Lebanese civilians is horrible. However, it should not be forgotten that Israel NEVER target civilians purposely. The civilians are getting killed while being used as a human shield, unlike Hezbollah terrorists who have been targeting Israeli civilian population intentionally.
78. 54 - this is my wife's land
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (07.30.06)
are israeli arabs illegal residents of this land? you are messed up.
79. History is Repeating Itself Once Again
Jeremy S. Slavin ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.30.06)
Anyone from Lebanon or Gaza or the West Bank who says "stop the killing, we want peace" has a lot to answer for...nearly sixty years of warfare Israel never wanted. Years of telephone poll support for suicide bombings and attacks on Israeli civilians. Dancing in the streets on 9/11. On October 27, 1983, President Ronald Reagan said of Lebanon that "Our role is to help the Lebanese put their country together, not to do it for them." Nearly 23 years later, the Lebanese had still not put their country back together - even after the Syrians left. Reagan also said "...the multinational force was created to help stabilize the situation in Lebanon until a government could be established and a Lebanese army mobilized to restore Lebanese sovereignty over its own soil as the foreign forces withdrew." Lebanon, far from even trying to take over the south from Hizballah, deliberately chose not to. Whether this was because of the pro-Syrian leanings of the President of Lebanon, or a Prime Minister who didn't feel up to the task and responsibilities demanded of a national leader in a country like Lebanon, doesn't matter. Lebanon is increasingly rubble because the Lebanese didn't take responsibility for their own affairs - when they couldn't, it might have been understandable. But even when finally permitted to, they didn't...that was a deplorable, deliberate choice. And the people at Qana were only the latest to pay the price. Israel has never deliberately targeted Arab civilians in warfare, making it wholly unlike those Arab countries which have explicitly targeted or supported the targeting of Israeli civilians. And by the way, those Reagan comments were in a speech given after a Hizballah truck bomb attack killed 241 U.S. Marines while they slept...and they were in the country to try and help Lebanon do what the world, once again, insists must be done again. 23 years later, and this is still going on! Where is the accountability? Why is the blame always on Israel? Do people not pay attention to history? Do they not care?
80. WAR CRIME TRIBUNAL
Peter ,   Paris   (07.30.06)
After the haneous attack of the Israeli army against innocent children & women in Qana, i ask the World community to create a special War Crime Tribunal to start investigating and punishing Israel for its irresponsible disporportinate military actions and targeting & Killing of civilians. In my view, Israeli government is in a bad situation and realizing the big mess they got themselves into, which is back lashing on them and their image. They Lost the war
81. Re: 17 - you are NOT listening to either side
Kate ,   Jerusalem   (07.30.06)
Nazir - you are really not listening. There is NO doubt - not a shred - not an ounce that Hizbullah is firing missiles (1500 and counting) into Israel from "hidden and secret locations". They don't deny this. They are actually revelling in and celebrating their ability to strike at another country. They are targeting and killing men, women and children who are not involved at all in combat - and they are celebrating this fact. The only contention or question raised so far is this: are the "civillian" casaulties in Lebanon "civillian Hizbullah rocket launching freedom fighters"? OR "other civillian casuaties. The children are definately NOT combatants. But their parents were told already a week ago to evacuate the area. If this was you - sitting on either side of the border with YOUR family - what would you do?

(07.30.06)
It won't have an effect on the Arabs, but maybe those in the Western media will take note and stop acting like Israel is at fault for everything that happens.
87. That's IT
A.C   (07.30.06)
This is the war of civilizations they are talking about. this is the war between the so called civilized world against the barbaric one. that's what the very civilized world has to offer for the savages in the third world, saying it very clear: u r nothing but insects that have no right to exist. that have to be eliminated form the face of the earth, so the world will be clean for the civilized human beings in Washington, London and Tel Aviv really it's a war of civilizations??? take a deep look at those images and think, think in ur so civilized brain what on earth would prevent those people from being life bombs to explode in the heart of this dirty, immoral, racist world
88. Fadi
tony ,   paris   (07.30.06)
With all due respect to the innocent "civiliens killed in this tragic incident;I dare you just once ,to take a good look at what the Hizbollah are doing to your people..it is time you Lebanese opened your eyes ,to the truth about these "terrorists,that are using you people to reach their aim,and you know as well as the Israelis,that the Hizbollah Just thrives on these unfortunate killings// They are using your people in the south as humane shields,and you KNOW IT.What is Israel to do,when she is attacked by Thousands of rockets daily,FIRED FROM THE MIDST OF THE LEBANESE POPULATION.and you just sit by Idly and do NOTHING to stop this.Why do you not go to the streets and shout your anger against them,,?Are the Lebanese that incapable of National unity??Or are you all COMPLICE?.its unfortunate to say,but You are as responsable as the Hizbollah for these killings;Be it in Israel or lebanon..Remember WW2,when the Germans said "WEDID NOT KNOW,and the population DID NOTHING;To prevent it..This is what you Lebanese are doing,You are letting the Hizbollah do as they please on Lebanese soil..G-D damn ,them,they are only a political extreme party,THEY DO NOT RUN THE COUNTRY,OR DO THEY?So according to international law ,you are in a way Colaborating with them,Need I tell you what the Consequinces will be.?? The Lebanese people have wited very long for a peacful existence,as has Israel,But you have let this opportunity die,by letting these Evil Terrorists do as they please with your Land...The Lebanese people can stop this war,ONLY IF THEY REALLY WANT TO.
89. Double Standards
One Tough Jew   (07.30.06)
Jews are always held to a double standard...there is no "outcry" when buses and restaurants are blown up mangling and killing teenagers, children, the elderly, and mothers with babies in strollers and there is no world outcry when our residents living in the North are in shelters for days on end or worse killed because of the rockets raining down on the North of Israel...however, if we are to just harm one hair on the head of anyone else the world screams bloody murder. If the terrorists who took down the World Trade Center dropped leaflets telling the people there to get out before slamming the planes into those buildings don't you think all those 3,000 INNOCENT people would get the hell out? After all, they weren't hiding behind rocket launchers in those buildings...Hmmm? So, excuse me....but the IAF drops leaflets to warn residents to evacuate but no one leaves? Surely they were held hostage by Hizbullah and used as pawns in this war. I'm so damn sick of the world holding us to a double standard. They always have; always will; anti-Semitism is in their blood. Therefore; do your job Tzahal; you have the right to defend Israel and the Jewish people in any way that you can. We have the right to live without murderers everywhere we turn. G-d Bless Tzahal; and our brave soldiers and pilots. You are our best and the brightest...May HaShem keep you safe. Am Yisrael Chai.
90. Who is fault is this !!!
