1. You almost made me cry
Zack ,   Canada   (08.07.06)
Am I supposed to cry over this and not the children killed in Qana? Am I supposed to weep over these soldiers if they were getting ready to go into Lebanon to kill some more children? How come the Israeli media always mentions the hardships of Israelis and never the Lebanese?
2. Condolences to the family
Michelle   (08.07.06)
3. #1 How Come?
H ,   Jerusalem   (08.07.06)
Because these were innocent soldiers defending their country from terrorists, while in Qana there were no innocent people but children of terrorists - future terrorists that were a danger to society. Check their textbooks they learned in school and you'll see for yourself "how come". If Europe and the rest of the world will learn from Israel how to get rid of Islamic fascism and muslim fanatics, there'll finally be peace.
4. #3, it seems what you have is is terrorist
Zack ,   Canada   (08.07.06)
It is not ok to kill any child; a child will always be a child even if he/she is Jewish, Arab, French, Italian, even Hitler’s son. I am against Israel’s, but I still respect the right for Israeli children to live. Even Palestinian terrorists say that they don’t attack children on purpose. Saying that these kids would become future terrorists is terrorist itself. Do you Israelis have a heart? You teach your children to hate. I saw a picture of Israeli children drawing on shells ready to launch them into Lebanon. What type of education is this? Leave Arab and Jewish children out of this. Children have the right to live.
5. #1
BS meter ,   Canada   (08.07.06)
Go grieve with your own people somewhere else, and leave us to talk with each other respectfully. We don't need your sermonizing in defence of a people who started a war -- the Lebanese and their internalized Iranian proxy, Hezbollah. You respect peace and peole's lives like Nasrallah does. Like the Iranian regime does. We don't buy that you care about absolutely anybody in any real way. You happily support their sacrifice, idiot.
6. To H
(08.07.06)
I'm sorry, but not all Arab people are terrorists. I know it helps to ease the guilt of killing many innocent children by saying that they are terrorists, but the simple fact is that Israel has killed more innocent Lebanese civilians than Hizbollah has killed innocent Israeli civilians. Stop trying to write off the suffering of others by saying that they deserved it especially when they did not! A dead Lebanese child is just as much of a tragedy as a dead Israeli child! Oh, and Israel has done more to create future terrorists now in Lebanon than any textbook could possibly create. Just think wouldn't you want revenge on the country that destroyed your entire livelihood?
7. The war with white gloves
sadie band ,   israel   (08.07.06)
why is Israel fighting this war with white gloves. pound them harder until they relent for what they are doing to israel
8. BS meter, you must be full of BS yourself
Zack ,   Canada   (08.07.06)
"My own people" I am not Arabic, I am French. It is sad that you don't realize that all of the world's people are with the Lebanese at this moment. I am not supporting any Lebanese faction, I am supporting Lebanese people. The poor little boy who just wants to fly his kite, and the poor little girl who just wants to play with her doll. You have seen the protests throughout the world asking for peace. Even Israelis protested for peace. BS meter, I think you should measure your BS first.
9. True hate # 3
Faisal ,   Hyderabad India   (08.07.06)
Soldiers are Soldiers and civilians are civilians , so better stop comparing it with the lives of those childrens, here u r crossing every limit .. Do u really know what u r saying here its legal to kill for IDF even childrens and civilians .. Just coz there are muslims . What is the real difference between IDF and Hizbullah then ? Both are doing crimes against humanity. and coz of both humanity is paying the price in fake pride. Dont pass such comments or else support for urs this present war from the whole world will be gone in a minute. Hizbullah are ignorant terrorists and IDF Civilized Terrorists .and many are here like u .. hate teachers . What is there to check in textbooks .. arent jews childrens are teached the same in the books to hate muslims and islam as a curse. Hate is from both sides and in this only u r brainwashed . India is better to handle this problem of terrorism more than Israel.
10. you almost made me cry and how came--shame on both of you
nina ,   united states   (08.07.06)
Israel often talks of the suffering of civilians on both sides, but only the Arabs--witness Nablus celebrations of Israeli deaths--celebrate killing. Israel apologized for Qana, and for the killing of children there, but it is Hezbollah that sacrificed them on purpose. Shame on #1 for pretending that Israel doesn't care, which you know to be a lie, and shame on #3 for suggesting that it is not a tragedy for children--who are manipulated by evil adults--to be killed.
11. #6 Tell the world how man Muslims have killed other muslims?
Mike ,   Israel   (08.07.06)
If your an honest and smart person why dont answer what kind of education these radicals get how they teach to kill at an early age lets see you have that kind of courage. i dont think you have any. In the first 6 months of this year your terroists friends have killed more than 14,000 fellow muslims in Iraq what do you people call that??
12. Hizbullah will Strike again
Elie ,   Lebanon   (08.07.06)
I will keep on killing or poeple and destroying our country... Hizbullah will keep on kicking your ass, and spreading the Terror all over ISreal.. A simple equation.. that none of the isreali goverment ever understood!!
13. to Zack No. 1
Spikeman   (08.07.06)
zack do u know what a war is you mountain horsed prick? Spikeman
14. #10 if Israel really feels sorry for the children
Zack ,   Canada   (08.07.06)
You are to brainwahsed to realize that Israel does not feel sorry for these children. If this was true they would have stopped killing children the first time it happens. Everyday innocent children die and Israelis say it was a mistake. Isn't that stupid? This would show how stupid the ITF(Israeli Terror Forces) is. A mistake that is repeated becomes and habit and then becomes normal.
15. Zack
Princeman   (08.07.06)
zack I hear the Canadian Army is nearly as strong as Lebanese army. Haha
16. one more thing for Zack
BS meter ,   Canada   (08.07.06)
You are so pathetically naive, to be pulled into the orbit of supporting a group like Hezbollah, because that is what you're doing, not supporting the Lebanese. YOu are supporting, whether you know it or not in your unbelievable fog of simplicity, a deliberate destabilization of Lebanon by Iran and Syria, via Hezbollah. If you want to read a Canadian who has more insight than the shallow silliness you endorse, look up Terry Glavins' recent article in the Vancouver Straight. You can Google it yourself, and get a little practice at modest research, by combining "StopWar's peace is about opposing Israel" and "Terry Glavin." As he says, you are simply supporting war. You are the one responsible for those darling little boys and girls being blown to bits.
17. Princeman I also agree with you
Zack ,   Canada   (08.07.06)
The Lebanese Army is stronger than the Canadian Army. Unlike you we are people that wouldn't be proud of having a large military force. We are proud of our good ethics. The ethics that don't allow us to kill children while they're playing. We are proud of many humanitarian aid we give to so many poor children throughout the world. You can be proud of your strong army (wherever your from), but that really doesn't matter.
18. Zack is an unworthy Canadian
S Judah ,   london   (08.07.06)
Zack - with due resopect to your preaching. If Israel wanted to kill civilians, it could have flattened every village in the South and buried everyone in them. Instead Israel send in troops at a cost because there are civilians still there. It is Hezbollah that fights and hides as civilians. It is Hezbollah that has caused a catstrophe for the Lebenon. It is Hezbollah that does not care for the peopele of the Lebenon. They are a poison to their own.
19. to zack in canada
yankele ,   kfar saba   (08.07.06)
u are an idiot-dont know what u are talking about & u are real mixed up
20. To Zack the HIZBOLLA spokesman
come out ,   wherever u r   (08.07.06)
So Zack u are big on words..u need to get ur glasses fixed..this is a war mate..we are being attacked..whilst the majority of people feel true sympathy for the Lebanese people and wud probably make a much better job at making peace with them if every body urself included took a hike...if u r a lebanese person under the guise of a canadian then be honest dont hide behind ur words. What are u Israeli intelligence that u know all the answers??..so what u saying is that if u see a woman she belongs in the kitchen just coz she is a woman..cmon soldiers have been in many and varied tasks not all of them to fight..but this is a war and we are under attack day and night..u sit in canada in judgement or a situation that u either know too well..or know nothing about..if in case it is the latter I wud recommend that u BUTT OUT and keep ur lame opinions to urself. By the way if u are so incited by what happened in Qana why arent u upset abt the the fact that the Media lied and stated more people were killed than were actually killed..where were all the men in these families...? shooting rockets maybe?? there is a man who appears and reappears in many other pictures..and the question being asked was did he bring the bodies from the site or was he putting them on the site to make it look more hellish than it was...Yes we are bombing Lebanon..we have nothing against the Lebanese, I am sure that they wud like nothing more than to rid themselves of all the people on their land including the Israelis..and believe me no one here has any interest in staying on Lebanese soil...I think u need to get ur facts straight..go and read up on the Lebanese people a wonderful nation full of warm and loving people who were overtaken by Muslims who slaughtered them ...
21. #3,6,9 "Peace will come when Arabs will love their children
H ,   Jerusalem   (08.07.06)
more than they hate us (the Jews)." This is a quote from Golda Meir. How true! Have you ever heard of Jews being "suicide bombers"??? Never. However, in the Arab world this is part of the education their children get. Unfortunately, many innocent people in Israel and throughout the world were murdered with their barbarism. How dare you, arabs, criticize the holy nation of Jews who are extremely careful not to hurt civilians. And again: Civilians, accomplices of terrorists are just as a guilty, even if they're children. Here are just a few examples of Arab love of their own children: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Em-MnAYiEWk&mode=related&search= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egwz25fW0Co&mode=related&search= http://www.cnsnews.com/ForeignBureaus/archive/200107/For20010723d.html http://www.internationalwallofprayer.org/A-096-Child-Abuse-In-The-Palestinian-Authority.html There are no Jewish textbooks teaching children to hate Muslims. No such book around. Go find one. The hate of Jews are only against criminals and terrorists. Go read http://www.littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/ and you'll see what your brothers, the Arabs and Muslims, are all about. Once you people will live like HUMAN BEINGS, there will finally be peace IN THE WORLD!
22. BS.. Keep you propaganda to yourself
Zack ,   Canada   (08.07.06)
Ummmm....Where should I start the BS is all over you. As for supporting Hezbollah...I don't. Why should I? You can't say something about someone when they say the total opposite. I don't support war I want to end it. Give the Lebanese their rights and the Israelis will get theirs.
23. to #1 and co
ken ,   california   (08.07.06)
have canada been in a war before, you guys dont have to say sh!t in here afterall your our tissue papers over here we use you like we use tissues to wipe our a$$, i wish a bomber will visit you guys one day so you can feel the pain..morons
24. Suicide bomber
roy ,   Australia   (08.07.06)
to #21 Funny you say that! Apparently, the first suicide bomber was a fanatic jew in the early hours of this Middle East mess the West and yourself created!
25. #11 - Mike
(08.07.06)
First of all there is nothing wrong with me saying that not all Arabs are terrorists. To think that they are is ignorant bigotry and adds more to the problem than it helps. Saying that innocent children deserve to die because they could be potential terrorists makes you no better than most Hizbollah supporters. Islam is far from being a perfect and peaceloving religion and their theocratic thought process leaves much to be desired in the realm of governing Arab countries. However, simply because a person is Arab does not mean they are a terrorist. I know many Arabs and even Palestinians who do not support in any way terrorist attacks against civilians. Perhaps part of the problem is that you do not take the time to get to know any Arabs and have preconcieved notions about them. Most religions have a bloody past. My fellow Christians fought against each other far into the 20th century - does this mean we are all barbaric and uncivilized? Even Jewish history is relatively bloody (read the Bible). Just as Christianity and Judaism have needed to change to adapt to a new peaceful world. Islam must do the same at this point in time. However, we must realize that already much of the Arab population is not supportive of terrorist acts and not judge someone as a terrorist because they are Arab. The West and Israel must also not inflame more hatred than already exists. If Israel had not invaded Lebanon in 1982, I do not think that the current situation would have ever occured. Israel built up hatred against itself in the 1980s and these are the consequences. Arabs returned the violence and Israel defended itself. But due to the largely disproportionate levels of Israel's attacks hatred is once again being inflamed accross all of Lebanon - not only the minority extremist population of Hizbollah. I sadly believe us Americans will also pay for out actions in Iraq down the road. Islam has a lot of work to do and we must not add to the hatred by stereotyping the Arab population.
26. zak
simon ,   bologne   (08.07.06)
he,he nice discusion, Tellind the words oh true, you could hear real arguments , that you back Hesbollah, that you are idiot, the most nice is the last one. That arabs don't love theri children. Of course ,they don't. They are animals in israel eyes And why they don't love? Because Golda Meir said that. What a pity it was not Sharon ,he loved them more. Especially those in Shabra and Shatila
27. To #6
Judy C ,   Lexington KY USA   (08.07.06)
Don't you get the real news? It has already been proven the Lebanese women and children in Qana were murdered by Hizbullah. They were "imported" into that city. All the men were made to fight on the front lines while their familes were huddled together and massacred. When have you ever seen Israelis dancing in the streets when Arabs have been killed? Israelis cherish their children. Arabs hate Israelis more than they love their children.
28. #1,6
Judy C ,   Lexington KY USA   (08.07.06)
Reuters has already announced the photos they received from Lebanon had been doctored to make the damage appear much worse than it actually was. The agency will no longer accept photos of death and destruction from several Arab reporters.
29. #20, wow I never knew I was a Hizbolla spokesman
Zack ,   Canada   (08.07.06)
If I was a Hizbolla spokesman I don't think that I would be wasting my time speaking to people on an Israeli website. Since when did people who defended the right for children to live become Hizbolla spokesman. You people are messed up in the head! Did I say anything that supported Hizbolla? I am not Lebanese, and if I was I would be very proud to say I was one. Why are you so aggressive towards the opposing opinion? Is it because you know what I’m saying is true and that you don’t want me to speak. So since you have labeled me a Hizbolla spokesman I guess you have become and ITF spokesman?
30. To that Franch preaching here!
Jacob Guttman ,   Monsey, NY   (08.07.06)
How come you French suddenly appear as the nice correct classy citizens? Can you give me one reason why so many US solders had to die to liberate YOUR country! You and your arrogant leaders always speak as if you are the best and brightest. Who can forget that only 60 years ago your entire country was invaded and taken away from you, and WE, the YANKEES came to liberate you, and were stupid enough to give your country back to you immediately. We should have held on to it like the Soviets did in Europe! Just to teach you a lesson! I was many times in Paris. The hatred for Jews there is unbelievable! But you are stupid enough to flood with 10 million Muslim fascist who will bring upon the end of France as we know it! You know well your Muslims will not appreciate your hospitality and will bomb the s--t out of you with terror attacks one day! Wake up and smell the coffee!
