31. Hypocritical Annan and EU
Jeff ,   Orlando, USA   (08.03.06)
Where is their outrage at the killing of these civilians. Or would this only count if more Jews were killed?
32. hizbasterds stop the war
Arie ,   israel   (08.03.06)
Free the IDF captives and disarm monkey man that will stop the War Nuke Iran before they nuke us
33. Aren't you all overlooking something?
Stacie ,   Canada   (08.03.06)
Hezbollah rockets started when Israel unleashed its missiles on Lebanon. There has been no Hezbollah rockets fired after Israel announced a 48 hour missile cease-fire. Israel has broken its cease-fire and Hezbollah rockets have started again. Doesn't anyone understand the cycle of violence concept?
34. katusha
nazy ,   los abngeles   (08.03.06)
Please please bomb these terrorists including their fmaily and friends, do not sacrifce our boys in order to save a life of a future terrorists. It is so stupid how the Israelies are fighting, bomb them all from the air and don't send our boys in front of their anti tank missiles.
35. What's doing your army ?
David ,   Paris,France   (08.03.06)
Where's your army ? Always tons of rockets in israel. Olmert must speak of god in his speech. You wanted a gay pride in Jersualem, that's the answer of God.
36. And I quote Amnesty International
Suzanne   (08.03.06)
Hizbullah’s attacks on Israeli towns and cities have killed at least 17 civilians and injured scores of civilians. It is unclear whether any of Hizbullah’s rocket and missile strikes have been aimed at military targets. If they were, they would be indiscriminate attacks, given the nature of the weapons used. (...) Launching an indiscriminate attack resulting in loss of life or injury to civilians or damage to civilian objects is a war crime (ICRC, Customary International Humanitarian Law, Vol. I: rules; Rule 156, p589). http://web.amnesty.org/library/Index/ENGMDE150702006

39. The inside political aganda. Be wise
Aron ,   US   (08.03.06)
Israelites are known for their Wisdom and planned. In this war a child can do better destruction than Olmert. I believe that we have an Inside political agenda. We do not know what Olmert wants. However, he wants to play a card of pressure on Israelites. The IDF Soldiers are the ones whom will pay a heavy price for Olmert's card play. As we say "The cat is eating its children". Be wise and lets think of the aim of this war on the depth of the inside political agenda. Please try to be calm and think and follow G-d's teaching אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם, מָצָא חָכְמָה; וְאָדָם, יָפִיק תְּבוּנָה. יְהוָה--בְּחָכְמָה יָסַד-אָרֶץ; כּוֹנֵן שָׁמַיִם, בִּתְבוּנָה. בְּנִי, אַל-יָלֻזוּ מֵעֵינֶיךָ; נְצֹר תֻּשִׁיָּה, וּמְזִמָּה. אַל-תַּחֲרֹשׁ עַל-רֵעֲךָ רָעָה; וְהוּא-יוֹשֵׁב לָבֶטַח אִתָּךְ. אַל-תְּקַנֵּא, בְּאִישׁ חָמָס; וְאַל-תִּבְחַר, בְּכָל-דְּרָכָיו. מְאֵרַת יְהוָה, בְּבֵית רָשָׁע; וּנְוֵה צַדִּיקִים יְבָרֵךְ. כָּבוֹד, חֲכָמִים יִנְחָלוּ; וּכְסִילִים, מֵרִים קָלוֹן. Now do you believe!!!!!!! Stop this Card play…. We are wiser than this…Lets look into the political agenda.
40. Crybabies
(08.03.06)
You crybabies. Your soldiers are battling in the north for your safety and you all run back to the golden calf in Egypt. Have a little trust in your Government and your army, instead of shouting give them prisoners, give them Sheba, give them all and be in the same shit next year again! And to number ten. Depends where you get your facts. The IDF said it killd 400 Hezbollah. Different picture no?
41. Get Real
Marco ,   Italy   (08.03.06)
Hizbullah hitting civilians ??? you're too blinded my friend by your fake media.. the biggest proof is that this message won't be posted!! Check the phosphorically hit children in Qana!
42. why do the arabs own humanRightsWatch.org

43. Fairly Obvious
Me ,   Here   (08.03.06)
It's fairly obvious that the twenty different comments in this string of talkbacks that all say the same thing purporting to be fearful Israelis begging to completely capitulate to Hezbollah are actually from one writer, and almost certainly not from Israel at all.
44. score
dahvid ,   usa   (08.03.06)
#10 Michael How many Lebanese civilian casualities were from Hizbollah? If more Israeli citizens die, then you will feel better? "There's lies, damn lies, and then there's statistics."
45. To #1 and the rest as well
Victor ,   New York   (08.03.06)
Yes maybe IDF lost in destroying teh Lebanese resistance, but Israel was never really under a real danger and you know from the start that you are the one in control. I think the mistake is to take this so personally. Nobody wants to kill you the resistance is defending Lebanon's rights. They were attacking IDF. When IDF started killing civilians they started killing you. Stop killing civilians they stop and will focus on the military. There is no loss, you will have to give us back our land and prisoners. But this not a loss for you, these are just OURS and it is called JUSTICE
46. Read this
Christian ,   Lebanon   (08.03.06)
The violence you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and your destruction of animals will terrify you. For you have shed man's blood; you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them. Habakkuk 2:17 Read your torat before attacking Lebanon... Peace Out
47. Bomb Demascus
(08.03.06)
48. World response is biased and obvious
Patricia ,   Hawaii, USA   (08.03.06)
I don't know what world Dan #17 lives in and what he reads, the Hizbullah chose to use a technique used by the Japanese in WW2, a surprise attack on a country in it's own territory, the US considered this a war. What truely bothers me is that Israel is blamed for responding to this act the way any reasonable country would but is perceived as the aggressor and although the world whines and cries about the loss of Lebanese civilians who are unfortunately caught in the middle, no where is the outcry for Israeli civilains who are intentionally bombed by the Hizbullah, another technique used in WW2 in China. If I remember correctly, there was no real outcry then by the world when innocent Chinese were killed. What has happened to the world that finally there is concern for civilians victims but blame is placed on country who was the initial victim. The logic would be blaming the US for responding to Pearl Harbor. Lest it be forgotten, the US did not pull any punches with the Japanese, we used the worst weapons we had. I do not see Israel going to this extreme which shows me that there is a lot more humanity going on than was shown in WW2. I wonder how long Israel can avoid using higher level tactics given the intentional killing of civilians. War is a terrible state of affairs and it should be, otherwise how can it end? Another 100 yrs war? I don't know how Dan #17 can presume to say the Hizbullah have not killed as many civilians as they could, it seems they have. The rockets they use are not accurate is the only reason more have not been killed, not because of a lack of effort. I can accept his distaste and disagreement with the war but it sounds like something else is going on for him like blissful ignorance and self destruction. I do believe that unless Israel protects itself, it will no longer exist. Dan, according to his values should start packing his bags and find another country, hopefully with his views it won't be the US.
49. Nasrallah, We will send you back to Allah!

50. The Hezbollah Hate Machine
Tam Highplace ,   Prince George, USA   (08.03.06)
Israel, do not get faint hearted...you have been doing what you should be doing, eliminating those who carry the germ of hate. We in the USA stand behind you, and if push comes to shove, we will join you in purging your land of tyrants.

54. Taurat 2 Kings 14
Jane ,   France   (08.03.06)
9Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son as wife: and a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle. 2 Kings 14 WAKE UP !
55. Read the Holy Book!
Arie   (08.03.06)
For the violent acts against Lebanon will come on you, and the destruction of the cattle will be a cause of fear to you, because of men's blood and the violent acts against the land and the town and all who are living in it. יז כי חמס לבנון יכסך ושד בהמות יחיתן מדמי אדם וחמס ארץ קריה וכל ישבי בה 2:17 For the {o} violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, [which] made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell in it.
56. horrible
edward ,   las vegas   (08.03.06)
just sick, intentional murder of civilians is unexcusable and should be condemned universally.
57. You Want Solutions ...I Have Them!
World Citizen ,   the world   (08.03.06)
How many times have your leaders started wars that were supposed to be the solution to Israel's problem? Do I have to list them or can we all agree that these wars have solved nothing? The answer is simple. There will be no peace for Israel until there is justice for the Palestinian people. The whole of the West Bank and Gaza just be given to the Palestinians for their own contiguous country. Shebaa Farms must be returned to the Lebanese. The Holan Heights must be returned to the Syrians eventually with an armed UN force have complete control of the area for 15 to 25 years until that time. The Israelis would be wise to acknowledge that there were wrongs done to the original inhabitants of pre-1948 Palestine. Just as other countries have paid restitution for the crimes of the Holocuast, so too should Israel for what it did in 1948. Israel should try as best as possible to improve the economic conditions in the newly created state of Palestine so that both countries economies were integrated. Prosperity for all will insure peace for Israel. Step back and think what is going to happen if Israel doesn't change. The Christian West will not fight a worldwide war against Islam for the sake of Israel. George Bush will not be President forever. By choosing the path of war Israel is narrowing the options it has left to achieve peace. There is another way besides war. Honest negotiation is the first step. Have the courage to choose it or face utter destruction within 30 to 50 years.
58. WHEN THE MUSIC STOPS
Reality Check   (08.03.06)
Israel is LOSING? Why then enemy begging for cease fire. Kill ratio very bad for enemy, lots hizbo & supporters in bags. Iran & Syria staying in their seats, other Arabs quietly cheering end of hozbonazis. Everyone waiting for the UN?...waiting..waiting..look at Darfur. Not so the IDF. Pictures of kids playing in Faluja streets now. Connie Rice playing piano in Asia. Very nice. Israel LOSING? I think not. Wait until the music stops.
