31. We are used to their crimes
Ahmad ,   Beirut, lebanon   (07.31.06)
This is not the first time Israel kill children of Arab in palastine and lebanon or Iraq. You history is full of crimes and assassinations. Israel in this war striked Ambulances, civilian cars, motorcycles,Fire fighters etc.. and if we asked why? Israel justified that it could be Hezbollah sheilds or rockets. These are all mistakes in the eye of the World!! Hezbollah is not related with these crimes becauser you (Israel) always find a way to prove killing innocents as a mistake or suspected targets.What a lie!!!!! thousands of children and women killed by you and still justifying your terrorism. With respect to you killing those people make u feel better like vampires. Hezbollah is just defending their land and ppl. You will pay killing our children and women. The end of your fake empire that build on the body of thousands and thousands of innocent civilians will vanish soon.
32. ITS A WAR
mordechai ,   buenos aires   (07.31.06)
Which newspapers stated shock when Hizbolah bombed AMIA in Buenos Aires? None. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3179861.stm
33. #10
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (07.31.06)
Tell that to the Hizbullah, the Hamas, the Jihad, the Palestinians, the iranians, the Syrians ..... the list of Arab terror groups and coutries goes on and on and on.
34. Is apology enough!!
Christiane ,   qatar   (07.31.06)
How do you apologise for murdering 36 chidlren !!! "sorry" do you think this is enough !!! they meant to kill them with all the sophisticated weaponary and helicopters your country gives them do you think they didn't know that there were only civilians. Check the human factor there !!! where is humanity when all the country is bombed not only where hizbullah is !!! why can't they fight them like real soldiers and not like cowards from their planes and ships instead they bomb the civilians because they can't make any victory on hizbullah they are killing the innocent to pressure hizbullah but we will survive all the hatery and "Humanity" of Israel and we will overcome this hatery and crimes. god will not stand and watch and punishment for israel will be great !!!
35. #17 Do the Arabs ever apologize?
Sam ,   Canada   (07.31.06)
Good question. I think many Arabs see themselves as victims so that any negative behaviour from them such as suicide bombings or firing missiles at civilians is acceptable in the name of occupation and resistance. Western countries see them as primitive people who can be hurt but that not much positive can be or should be expected from them.
36. #3 its not all about u,
Hussein ,   Jerusalem   (07.31.06)
anti-Israeli or Israeli , tri to look to the hole picture , tri once to see the truth from above. there are children dead, that means ur army knows nothing how to use its weapons. better for u all to sell these weapons and to buy POPCORN and may be some soda.
37. Some thoughts...
Jen   (07.31.06)
Yes, it's horrible what happened yesterday... but I am certain Hezbollah is happy. This makes them look great. Bottom line is they were using Qana as a base to fire rockets/missiles at Israel - and Hezbollah knew there were civilians there. Did everyone forget that Hezbollah has fired, what, 2000 rockets/missiles at Israel in the past two weeks, with the simple goal of killing Israelis? What about the Israeli kids and women that have been killed? I certainly don't see Hezbollah regretting this or being deeply saddened by this. Yes, Hezbollah does take full responsibility as this is their goal, to kill Israelis. I am not at all condoning what happened yesterday, it is beyond awful - but why is Israel always the bad guy & they come out smelling like roses? Is Israel's conscience really that much greater than theirs? Since September 2000, over 1,120 Israeli's have been killed by suicide attacks. Hundreds of the children. Where is the world's outcry and condemnation of this?
38. What are facts and what is fiction?
(07.31.06)
The fact Israel bombed civilians is disturbing. The fact there were many children in a warzone (both sides knew this WAS a warzone) is disturbing. The fact Hezbollah is housing amunition within civilian buildings that MIGHT explode is disturbing. The fact Israel bombed the house at 00:30, but it collapsed only later, giving the adults inside the house time to leave the building and check the damage from the outside is disturbing. Only later did the building collaps killing all inside. Why did the adults not evacuate children from a bombed building when there was time? The house collapsed in the night, but aidworkers arrived only at 8:00 is disturbing. Aid workers said the roads were bombed, but the roads were repaired? and also didn't hinder the dozens of journalists from arriving there simultaneously. At 8:00 one sees survivors, families leaving the area by foot. Have they been waiting there for 7 hours? The fact newspapers worldwide announce over 60 dead, 38 of whom children, but the Lebanese Red Cross reports 28 dead, 19 of whom children is disturbing. The fact the Lebanese are using the dead children for propaganda is disturbing. Why is the same man over and over at different times, with different apparel carrying the same two children, even holding them in front of the cameras? http://eureferendum.blogspot.com/ (graphic) Israel has postponed all operations in South Lebanon to allow a full investigation. I hope there will be a full investigation into this, but if the facts from the start are not facts but fiction, I doubt there will be an full independent investigation. I guess we have seen to many times Jenin Massacre hoaxes, Gaza beach hoaxes, Muhammed al-Dura hoaxes etc. to believe a tragedy when we see one.Pitty. http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=21846_Qana_Propaganda_Begins_to_Fall_Apart Whatever the results, it won't bring back those poor children.
39. IF THIS IS AN ISRAELI TOWN ??
Jasmine   (07.31.06)
For all of you objective people here! I ask you how would you comment on this article if t his was an israeli town,a nd the kids were israelis..not lebanese or arabs. i guess you can see now how the world is double standards. you have to learn than all human blood are the same. those of you israelis think deep inside you that you are superior. it is sick
40. Voice of Peace ?
Yossi   (07.31.06)
The pilot who bombed the terrorist vipers nest in Qana, was sent by OUR government and OUR defense army to defend my and YOUR children. By affirming such a perverse and abnormal statement, like: "….I hope that you are happy about your job but I tell you you will never forget the pictures of children killed….." you are weakening OUR just and moral attitude and strengthening our enemies ! And, where exactly does the Koran state that: "…peace is the best thing in the world .." ??
41. Can we have a reality check here please?
anne ,   bournemouth UK   (07.31.06)
I am disgusted. Disgusted because I see people who are attempting to justify their position by blaming their enemy. I am pretty sure that is the same tactic used against Jews for millenia. Now we stoop to their level. These people are not good. They put their kids in the way of fire, and they educate them to hate. I feel deeply sorry for them, and I also acknowledge Israel's need to fight. I believe Qana was an accident. But it was still awful. And we have to face that and look in the mirror. Had the arabs managed to kill our kids that way we would be outraged. That is all there is to it. We should be upset at the mistake, we should be apologising. I do not say we should stop the war. But I do say that all of the shit I am reading now - including the disgust at the International press - is unworthy of decent people. I have been told since I was a child that Jews are the chosen people. In my early education I was told we had to keep the moral high ground and show by our behaviour just who we are. I do not like what I am seeing on these pages - the hate is loud clear and just as evil as the hate shown by terrorists. We will win nothing if everyone sees that hate and judges us by it. Sorry guys we have to be better than that. I looked at the video with a kid being held up - many many times. It is awful. But so is the fact he is dead and it is just possible that the man holding him felt the need to show the world how awful it is. Don't we want to show everyone the Holocaust? Dead is dead. Think about it.
42. Why we don't hear it on other side? Please read
s.p.o.c.k ,   Israel   (07.31.06)
I'd like to ask all the worldwide people who condemn Israel now - do you know that Israel suffers from missiles everyday that are shot towards major cities, villages in order to kill innocent people? Do you count with us the 120 missiles a day? Do you think that Israel wants to fight in Lebanon? Can someone ask Lebanon goverment what would happen if a Israeli terror group will shoot 1000 missiles towards Beirut and the Israeli goverment wont do anything, saying "it's not us, what do you want". What would the world then say about Israel, the evil, bad Israel. It's comes from attitude. It's a trend to hate the Israel people, no matter what we will do, and I personally fell pity for you, but we have to defend ourselves, and that's what important to us.
43. think of your children
voice of peace ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.31.06)
one question: do you have children? if your answer is yes, look at your children everytime you see the pictures of the children killed by the bombing, and just think to yourself, and how do you feel? I have children and know the feeling
44. to #31: Dear Ahmad...
s.p.o.c.k ,   Israel   (07.31.06)
Please tell me you really believe this. As you might know, Israel is a modern nation, with respect to law, and never wanna start a war. This lebanon act had started when your Hezbollah, a terror group that should decide if it's a official group or not, had crossed the border, killed soldiers and kidnapped 2 of them. Israel wants them back and if they were sent back, not a silent shot would be there, but Mr. Nasralla, the clown from the TV that thinks his a king but don't know he's pathetic, and he want's to be your savour of Lebanon... have a look around Lebanon... exactly as he wanted..? Anyways, believe me, we just want to live our life quietly, with money and fun, but the world must know, we wont let anyone harm us or try to kill our people. that's it.
45. Where was "world press" when dozens of Israelis killed???
RA   (07.31.06)
This propaganda is disgusting. When dozens of people were killed in suicide attacks in Israel, the world press barely made a peep. No condemnation. No editorials. Nothing. This just goes to show you the anti-semitism that exists. In their eyes, the life of a Jew is worthless. Well thats too bad for them, because Jews will defend themselves at all costs. And they can keep yacking all they want.
46. #43: Israelis too have children, and they must defend them!
RA   (07.31.06)
The lives of Lebanon's children is not Israel's concern. Israel as a State has a duty to its people to protect them at all costs. Israel does a pretty good job at it. Unfortunately, Lebanon doesnt. They allowed Hezbollah to user their territory to launch attacks, and now they are paying for it as a collective. After this, the Lebanese government will know better - which is an accomplishment of a long term Israeli goal. The idea that the war "turned people against Israel" is ridiculous because no has ever been FOR Israel in the first place. There will be peace when the Arabs learn to love their children more than they hate the Jews. A Golda Meir quote which is as true today as it was in 1948.
47. To # 9
me   (07.31.06)
I wish it would bother the Hizbulla terrorist as it bothers you. Those Brave pilots doing their best not to hurt innocents. Unfortunately, in a war poeple get killed [it's not a game] and all blames should turn to the ONE and ONLY FACTOR in this war. the HIZBULLA thay have started it. they are using civilians as a human shields. they are shooting rocket in order to kill as many as they can [they even declared that]. Unfortunately they though Israel will keep quiet [as always] but when you play with fire you get burnt.
48. Easy way to find an honest news agency:
Ibrahim ,   S. Arabia   (07.31.06)
Just look for the one with headlines that read "Hizbullah's human shields die". Or, "human shields stay despite Israel's warnings-and die". It is sickening how the media hides the responsibility of Hizbullah. It makes one think....maybe it was not only Hitler who wanted the Jews extict, but several other nations as well???
49. #1,2 Save us ur BS. Jewish terror was crystal clear in Qana
white ,   usa   (07.31.06)
The world got to see who are the real terrorists in the mideast and why the mideast will never see peace unless Jewish terror and occupation are completely dismantled, rather quickly.
50. 39 Jasmine:Where were you?
Ana   (07.31.06)
Many Israeli towns have suffered attacks from the jihadists, who have murdered thousands of israelis. If this was an Israeli town.... We dont need to imagine. Enough Israelis have been killed and we know. Did you protest the slaughter of Israeli kids on school buses because a jihadists blew himself up? What about the slaughter in pizza parlors, malls, etc. What about babies being shot dead by those "brave" pal jihadists. What about the Jews slaughtered by the terrorists of allah's party? all of this death has been caused by the jihadists. What if the Lebanese Christians had been slaughtered by the thousands by allah´s murderers, pals and Syrians' We dont need to imagine. It happened really. What about the pal terrorists and the allah's party using human shields? We dont need to imagine either. Where were you when all those atrocities were being committed?
51. To Khalid
(07.31.06)
Khalid , not any of the pictures show the guy with the glasses and beard dressed in red cross apparel. He is wearing a blue shirt, a flack jacket, a neon colourde vest, a green jacket, a green helmet, but NOWHERE is he wearing redcross clothing.
52. hezbollah trick
sara ,   sydney   (07.31.06)
That was exactly what Hezbollah wanted to show the world to gain sympathy after their defeat in Lebanon. The crucial question is why these peoples were left in a highly war zone area. The purpose is clear. they meant to be there so they get killed and thus israel will definitly look like a cruel butcher...Hezbollah are evil but they wage war more intelligently than israel...Unfortunately
53. #43 - see number 25 vis a vis 'children' ..
michael ,   tel aviv & london   (07.31.06)
54. The Solution
Christian ,   Lebanon   (07.31.06)
Return our hostages, leave Shebaa Farms and....prepare urself for trial in the Hague, this is the right place for Israeli leaders....and then justice will be achieved....
55. How can we stand by?
world citizen   (07.31.06)
As scores of innocent children are slaughtered BY THE MOMENT in Darfur? (by Muslim jihadists) As scores of innocent Thai's are being killed in the south of their own country by Muslim INVADERS? Oops, I meant innocent children are slaughtered/duped/used as human shields by Hizbollah in Lebanon. How can the world stand by knowing these poor innocent woman and children died BECAUSE THEY WERE USED AS HUMAN SHIELDS BY THEIR VERY OWN? How can the hypocritical, two faced lying Jew hating world even look at themselves in the mirror? Look at themselves KNOWING THE TRUTH! That is the question of the day!
56. Love of Children
Carl ,   Sydney   (07.31.06)
Golda Meir once said: " when the Arabs will love their children more then they hate the Jews - thats when there will be peace" The Hezzbulla are shooting from populated areas to israeli towns and villages targeting civilians, luckily without accuracy - they wish that each missile woud kill 100 israeli children !!!

60. Lebanon's PM thanks Hizbollah for its "sacrifices"
gerd schulz ,   germany   (07.31.06)
Lebanon's PM thanks Hizbollah for its "sacrifices" Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora thanked Hizbollah on Sunday for its "sacrifices" In its war against Israel. "We are in a strong position and I thank the Sayyed for his efforts," Siniora said when asked about a Saturday statement by Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah calling on the government to take advantage of Hizbollah's steadfastness against Israeli military might.
