1. This is a just war for Israel. We will help!
Jewish community   (08.07.06)
2. Hizbullah
Yehudah ,   Houston, Texas   (08.07.06)
H - Hairy I - Iranian Z - Zombies B - bent U - upon L - liquidating L - Life A - and H - Humanity
3. A step in the right direction
Ironcandle ,   Atlanta, GA   (08.07.06)
I saw the Goldwassers on Foxnews and they were very impressive in their answers and their calm reserve about their situation. I am glad we are on your side, and I wish your people and your country well.
4. Barak, Olmert, I wouldn't give those people a broken penny.
AK   (08.07.06)
I simply don't trust those people further than i can spit. And where was UJC until now, supporting withdrawals? Where was their help for expelees from Gush Katif. The professional charities will make money on this drive like they did on Holocaust Swiss Banks reparations --the victims were lucky to get 2c on a $. How about the UN and EU contribute to the rebuilding of the North.
5. Syria, Iran and Lebanon should pay
Daniel ,   Israel   (08.07.06)
The aggressors of this war-Syria, Iran and Lebanon-Hezballah should be forced to pay compensation to Israel the same way the Germans had to pay for their crimes during World War 2.
6. Anything at all, we will do.
Mary ,   USA   (08.07.06)
7. PM launches UJC campaign: This war fought by all Jews
yohanan ,   Sion Switzerland   (08.07.06)
Not all Jews are Sionists
8. and the winner is : the IRAN-USA pair of dancers
david ,   France   (08.07.06)
“I know you are all thinking we are fighting against Hizbullah ; let’s face it, the State of Israel is fighting against the Iranians and the Syrians, who are using Hizbullah in order to attack Israel from the north,” Olmert said during the broadcast.
9. FINALLY!!!
Michael Steiner   (08.07.06)
I've been trying for some time to get information about legitimate channels to send donations to, in order to help the State of Israel in this war.
10. And not one tear in sight - EZE GEVA!!!
Talula ,   Israel   (08.07.06)
11. Barak?
NUL ,   Israel   (08.07.06)
I don't believe it! Or is he afraid to look into faces of people here?
12. War fought by all jews
Dave ,   Toronto   (08.07.06)
This is total crap. This war is in no way supported by all Jews. How dare Olmert tag this war on all Jews!
13. HAVE IRAN OR SYRIA LEARNED ANYTHING?
TD ,   London   (08.07.06)
It's important that Olmert has identified the real culprits - Syria and Iran - behind this fight. I wonder if either nation state has learned anything as they witness their proxy go down. I doubt it. This fight is not going to end any time soon. At the moment, Israel is winning - the evidence is Hizbollah's failure to follow through with its threat to attack Tel Aviv, which means that Syria and Iran have decided to get out of this fight while they can without escalating. The price is Hizbollah destroyed. We are seeing Israel shatter Hizbollah with US/UK/French/Russian approval in a classic war of attrition. The smart Middle Eastern rulers have heard the message - that they will not obtain the protection of the major powers if they indulge in terrorism direct, or by proxy - indeed, that like Lebanon they will pay a terrible price for permitting these groups to grow on their soil. The stupid Middle Eastern rulers - read Baby Assad and Asmadasahatter - have failed to learn this lesson. Iran and Syria will face a punishment even worse than Lebanon. One of these rogue states will attack Israel with WMD and the response will be massive. When the MSM starts complaining about massive civilian casualties, reflect on the opportunities both nation states had to get smart, not stay stupid.
14. WW III?
chris ,   Lebanon   (08.07.06)
Better Olmert and Seniora stop inviting ppl to join this war, and consider of inviting each other to a peace agreement.
15. Hizbullah : soldiers of GOD!!
NAB ,   Lebanon   (08.07.06)
Nassrallah is the man... Tel Aviv is our plan !!!!
16. Israelis and Diaspora Jews, please read this!
Flavio ,   Sao Paulo, Brazil   (08.07.06)
Someone from Haifa (anonymous)made a comment today on Ynet 'Despite difficult day: Israel waiting for UN' post, . This is what he ou she posted: '47. To all the Jews writing from the Gola Thank you very much for encouraging us to fight and sacrifice while you're sitting in your nice, safe homes... How about YOU come here and fight? How about YOU sacrifice yourselves and your families? The jews in the gola are nothing but cowards! You cant even stand up to your venomous media, sladering and demonizing Israel and the Jews! So stop giving us advice !!! Haifa, Israel (08.07.06)' And here is my reply, which I beg you to read carefully, in spite of my somewhat rusty English: '82. To # 47 - from a Jew in the Gola I also have a problem with Diaspora Jews telling Isralis what to do - but my problem does not end there, it goes beyond. Actually, my problem is also with Israelis calling all Diaspora Jews "nothing but cowards". I have a problem with people judging me, my family and my community from afar, without even bothering to know who I am. I have a problem with people that forgets that we are Am Echad, that sinat chinam brought destruction upon us over and over throughout history, that barely 3 or 4 generations ago almost all of us lived in the Diaspora (most likely including your folks, #47). Yes, I have a problem with people who regard me as a second class Jew, who believe that I have hidden superpowers and that by a simple act of will I would be able to make Western media dance to my tune (If I could only do that!). I have family and friends in Israel, I love and care for the country very, very much, as many of my Jewish friends do. I do not give advice to Israelis about what to do because I believe it is extremely unfair - but once again, I have a problem with this or that Israeli that believe him ou herself to be superior and regards me automatically as a coward. Don't you see you are playing the anti-semites' game by jeopardizing the deep and special bonds between Diaspora Jews and Israel?! With all due respectv, what kind of metuntam are you?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?! Flavio , Sao Paulo, Brazil (08.07.06)' PLEASE LET US ALWAYS HAVE IN MIND WHAT UNITES US, WHAT WE HAVE IN COMMON, that WE ARE ONE PEOPLE, AM ECHAD, instead of the unimportant differences that may exist between us - otherwise the ONLY winners will be our ENEMIES, ISRAEL HATERS, TERRORISTS AND ANTISEMITES!!! THINK ABOUT IT, YOU IN ISRAEL, IN US, IN EUROPE, WHEREVER YOU ARE!!!! HINE MA TOV U MA NAIM, SHEVET ACHIM GAM YACHAD!
17. It should be spreaded to all Jewish Federations
keren ,   sao paulo   (08.07.06)
all over the world,not only North America ones,and to all very wealthy Jews from Israel. It is the obligation of ALL of us to help in this moment. But I will add something that I listened from the Rabbi in the sinagogue last week: He told us about an American Jew who gave a check to a Yeshiva in Israel,and after giving the check he started pointing out the problems at the Yeshiva and how he thought they should be fixed. The idea behind this,according to the Rabbi,is that he FIRST gave the check,what meant he did it with love and with the certainty about his duty, etc,BUT he felt the responsability to speak and to try to be sure the money would be properly used. This is VERY important! The love of all that are helping in this moment must be respected and very well aplied.
18. SO TRUE! And Failure to Promote the Welfare of Israel...
david ,   philadelphia, USA   (08.07.06)
is treason against the Jewish people. The offense of promoting the views of Israel's enemies is tantamount to launching a missile at Israel's people. Amy "Good"man, Sarah Shields, Naturei Karta, Noam Chumpsky, Gideon Levy, Uri Avnery, you are all responsible for the Israeli deaths we witness during the current war. You have strengthened our enemies, and your legacy is dead Jews.
19. Olmert said it
Jimmy ,   Beirut   (08.07.06)
Mr.Olmert himself said that Israel is fighting Syria and Iran.Unless you attack these countries the war would never end.I would even beleive that there is a hidden deal between Israel and Syria if they don't clash.Israelis: you blame the government of Lebanon for allowing Hezbollah to grow and not hitting him,well you are forgetting that this free government is only one year old.It inherited the country and the army after 30 years Syrian occupation.During this time Syria dismanteled the army and the country while loading Hezbollah with arms and training his fighters.How can you blame the government for not stopping Hezbollah.How would the government stop hezbollah?you didn't give time 1 year is nothing.Coming back to this war; everyday we hear that 80% of missiles are hit and yet the next day more missiles are launched.where did they come from? Syria. So you bomb all the bridges and road to avoid the missiles being tranported.But why the hell you don't bomb the source of those missiles to be sure they are not smuggled?You bomb all moving trucks on the road even if loaded with fruits and food and you say there is missiles underneath coming from syria.Again for God sake kill the head of the snake and not the tail.your treating the pain and not the sickness giving this pain.I am starting to doubt why your government is behaving this way specially that you know where the missiles are coming from and who allowed Hizbollah to strenghten and grow.Israeli citizens please clarify to me why the governemtn is not going for the real source of the proble:Syria
20. Gee, has anyone besides S. Arabia donated to Lebanon?
(08.07.06)
21. What arrogance!
Jeremiah ,   USA   (08.07.06)
This is war is not being fought with the support of all Jews. Certainly not this one. But it is typical of the arrogance of zionism to speak for all Jews. Zionism is not Judaism!
22. REBULDING HOMES?
KACH 613 ,   MEDENAT YEHAUDA!!!   (08.07.06)
He talks about rebuilding the homes that where destroyd yet his Kidima party wich was responsable for the EPOLTION from GUSH KATIF did NOT build 1 house yet!! Like #2 said DONT trust them for 1 second! I have a reletive on the ground in Lebanon father of 4 why is this happening? Because this damn goverment cares more for "innocnt" (ha ha ha) people then jewish solders! We should stop all the games and bomb like we knoe we can!!!
23. No
Aaron ,   Chicago   (08.07.06)
This is not a just war and Olmert is a damn fool.
24. Agree with #4
Chaim Tovim ,   Eretz   (08.07.06)
Barak, Sharon, Olmert, Peres, Beilin all should be tried for treason, malfeasence and for all the corruption they've been engaged in and beneftited from for supplying all the juicy business opportunties they've dolled out to their corrupt business cohorts. Jews of the world, Israel should be BOYCOTTED, yes, BOYCOTTED until this vermin we call "Israeli Leaders" have been removed from office. Don't waste your money - it will never reach its' intended victims - exactly as AK said in post #4. The Swiss Holocaust accounts monies have been sitting in various Israeli banks with virtually NO effort being made to distribute the money. Keep your money away from the WJC also, they give money to Arabs and Arab organizations.
25. olmert- diaspora
buzby ,   israel   (08.07.06)
ok olmert as you say we are fighting Syria and Iran through their proxie Hizbullah. So why ,when a third of our country is in bomb shelters, many of our people killed and maimed , are those two countries not suffered a scratch. This was our opportunity to send Syria back to the stone age and for Iran to be a radioactive wasteland. Are you waiting for them to have their nuclear weapons first? Their can be no question that that will be the situation in the very near future-not withstanding any useless U.N. resolutions.
26. # 7 time to remember
yoel ,   Swizerland   (08.07.06)
Your claim is absolutely right, but it's time for all of us to show the biggest solidarity. I think if you really weren't interested by Israel, you wouldn't read news on israeli websites like Ynet... Israel wasn't attacked by accident, but because it showed weakness, its society was divided and people accepted any pullout if it could bring peace. We have less territories and no peace. I'm part of the jewish people, and it's because we share values. Unfortunately some of us remember it only while they face hatred and Antisemitism. Then, they determin themselves because of jew-haters... I'm not interested by it. I have that impression Zionism sounds as an insult, but it's not at all the case ! What are my values? תורת משה מס'נ' , אהבת ארץ ישראל, אהבת חינם ושלום
27. contribution to MDA, english please!
elf ,   geneva, switzerland   (08.07.06)
I would like to give a contribution directly to MDA in Israel, but their website is only in hebrew while every signal in the country is in 3 languages. I prefer to do it directly instead to go through US or France to be sure the money is used for the purpose I give it and not for functioning expenses of another charity business.
28. ujc campaign
Pirvu Ovidio ,   Venice/Italy   (08.07.06)
You should not under estimate your friends in Europe you know. Although we are not so many as in the states, there some who support Israel.
29. #7 But All Jews Care For One Another
H ,   Jerusalem   (08.07.06)
unless you are Naturei Kartei and care for Arabs only.
30. The Money Raised Should Not Be Carte Blanche. Why?
Adina Kutnicki ,   US   (08.07.06)
I would strongly urge all those giving donations to do so as 'restricted funds'. These funds should be restricted for use only to help those being traumatized by the war, and those who are in need due to immediate family fatalities. This money must not be used at the regime's discretion. Why? Because I would not give a red cent to the Kadima gang who are hell bent on creating more Jewish refugees after the Hizbullah war dies down. Furthermore, since most (not all) Israeli Arabs are siding with Hizbullah, I would not want one dime to go to aid their communities. Afterall, the Arab regimes have plenty of oil money. Let them take care of them. I don't care if they are 'citizens' of Israel. They have very little patriotism anyway.
