This resolution will solve nothing. The only keys to a permanent peace are these: Redress and reversal of the crime of May 15, 1948, which established the zionist entity in the first place. Allowing the displaced Palestinian refugees to reclaim their property or receive just compensation adjusted for inflation since 1948. Removal of jews whose forbears arrived in the Holy land on or after May 15, 1948 to other countries that might accept them. Jewish eternal renunciation of all claims to sovereignty in the Holy Land. Financial assessments to the world jewish community to pay reparations to Palestinians who suffered at zionist hands. These steps will assure peace in the middle east. The alternative is constant war, leading eventually to a world conflagration.

I think the war & blood shed between Lebanon & Israel is some form of amusement to the Iranian foreign minister. I am glad that a cease fire resolution was obtained. It is a victory for both the civillian in Lebanon & Israel and a defeat for the evil Iranian regime. I call all lebanese people in my home land to rise in one voice calling a stop for the iranian involvement in lebanon's affair. I know that iran is paying 100 million dollars to Hisbullah a year. That money is cursed because it is the price of civillian blood. Keep your money and your advice for yourself Iran we don't need either of them.

The UN resolution is backed by the Jew-hating Arab League and the Lebanese government who colludes with Hizbullah! YNETNEWS (07.30.06) Lebanese PM thanks Hizbullah for 'sacrifices' http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3283763,00.html Hizbullah's goal is the murder of every Jew. On October 22, 2002, Nasrallah told Lebanon's Daily Star: "If they (Jews) all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide." The U.S. EU and UN are cognizant that Hizbullah will NEVER disarm and know that no UN resolution, truce and international force can stop the religion-inspired hate of Arab League countries and Islamists worldwide - a fanatical hatred that seeks the annihilation of Israel and the murder of every Jew. Israelis and all free people are in urgent need of strong Israeli leaders to save Israel and the free world. Thousands of UN Troops are to be deployed. The goal is to prevent Israel from destroying Hizbullah's infrastructure, rockets and missiles - to stop Israel from defeating Iran's proxy, Hizbullah - who fight Iran's war against Israel and all humanity. Israel, on the frontlines of global jihad has been effectively taken out of the battle for the free world! Empowered by the U.S. EU and UN - global jihad marches triumphantly on with no nation to stop it! Iran's proclaimed goal is the destruction of America and Israel. Iran is dangerously close in achieving nuclear capability to execute their genocidal goal. The entire world is endangered by fanatical, nuclear Iran. The ultimate goal is a world subjugated under Islamic rulers.

national review online August 07, 2006 Dealing with the Devil A diplomatic disaster in the making. By Anne Bayefsky Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is on the brink of handing President Bush the worst diplomatic disaster of his presidency. She is poised to agree to two United Nations resolutions that will tie the hands of both Israel and the United States in the war on terror and, in particular, inhibit future action on its number one state sponsor — Iran. The catastrophe is the brainchild of Secretary General Kofi Annan, who has effectively turned the United Nations into the political wing of Hezbollah. In the last three weeks, a multi-headed hydra of U.N. actors has risen to defeat Israel on the political battlefield in an unprecedented disregard of the U.N. Charter’s central tenet: the right of self-defense. But how did the U.N. respond to the aggression against the U.N. member state of Israel, which was launched once again from Lebanese territory and which continues to the present hour? By accusing Israel of murder, mass genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, the deliberate attack of children, and racism. U.N. actors have even denied that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization and analogized it to anti-Nazi resistance movements... The Geneva Conventions clearly state that combatants are prohibited from using civilians as human shields, but if they do so, the presence of civilians does not render the area immune from military operations. Israeli soldiers and civilians are paying with their lives daily as a consequence of Israel’s efforts to avoid disproportionate action — a dramatic exercise of restraint taken in order to reduce Lebanese civilian casualties... The United Nations seeks to: (1) protect Hezbollah from further Israeli attacks; (2) produce a political win for Hezbollah by giving them the territorial prize of the Shebaa Farms ; and (3) increase U.N. presence, oversight, and control of the Arab-Israeli conflict. It calls for renewed involvement of UNIFIL, the U.N. troops that stood and watched Hezbollah rearm and plan its deadly assault on a U.N. member state for the last six years. Such an international force is to be authorized under the first-ever Chapter VII resolution — a legally binding resolution that can be implemented through sanctions or the use of force — in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. In other words, Secretary Rice has approved of a U.N.-authorized and monitored force that has its sights set on Israel too, coupled with a claim that Israel is currently engaged in “offensive” operations. The very U.N. that accuses Israel of murder and heinous violations of international law is now to be charged with judging compliance with a legally binding instrument purporting to define the terms and conditions of Israel’s self-defense... There will be only one sure result of this move — the empowerment of terrorists whose ultimate target is the United States and all democratic values. Secretary Rice’s belief that there is a serious convergence between the United Nations agenda and American foreign-policy needs in the age of terrorism is a profound error in judgment for which democratic societies everywhere will be forced to pay a heavy price. http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=ODQyMGNlYWM5NzIzZGFhOTNlZDAxMmM2YTRkOWRjYzE=

It excluded the USUAL UN requirement for the dismantling of the Jewish State. Shucks, thanks

Like I said yesterday...No kind of ceasefire will be eccepted by any Radical Islamist from a non-muslim world!! Oh, tell me world, am I the only one who knows this!! NO I"M NOT. So, why in the world is th UN wasting their time!? This is why Israel must push forward and finish what they started so they can remove the threat from at least the northern border. Why wont they stop? Because, as it has been spoken in the pulpits of their mosques from their clerics. "We will not stop our Jihad against the Zionists and the West until they have ALL come to Islam or they are all annihalated!" People, these are not my words, it is the words of the Islamists spiritual leaders. My God...if I ever heard these words come from MY pastor I would have run out of the church years ago. But the deceiption on these muslims is so strong that they can not see the real truth as we, the rest of the world can see...that it is Satan and his works that are blinding these people. As a whole, we must be steadfast in our prayers in hope that they can break this deceiption before WWIII comes to us. But of course, if you are Christian, this only means that our Lord is soon to come. Either way, until they stop teaching their children to hate us, in which I and many others believe that this is the worst type of child abuse, they will never stop killing and terrorising. Therefore, as you read this article, know that Zion is never going to see an end to their(the radicals) murderous ways. So press on in what you must do and never stop until it is finished. God, the REAL God is with you so carry on until then.

Where exactly serves this resolution the "Zionist regime's interests"?

Do you really think for second that Sec, Rice would do such foolishness? No, she wouldn't ever do such a thing. She has said many times that it is right for Israel as well as the US to protect themselves even with pre-emptive strikes. So don't believe what you wrote for it is just not true.

15k international troops to form a buffer. Those of Hezbullah that survive will be north of the Litani ! And Lebanon put back 20 years. I wonder what he'd hoped for ?

the terrorism must be wipped out in lebanon and because they failed to win on Israel they will do the impossible to make lebanon a muslim state and they will massacre the christians . You must not listen to the pussies in THE UN. They dont care about the people of Israel they did this favor for Iran coz they have interest to take its petrol and especially kofi anan and his son. Please Israel dont make this big mistake because if you think that the lebanese goverment will disarm hizbollah and if you think that they will return your sons alive ? Please dont give reasons for terrorism that they can win on you and that means that any group can do what hizbollah has did G-D Bless ISrael Shalom Shabath

You must be a jew hater. If you are a Christian let me inform you of somthing so you can repent of what you say. God says in his Bible that those who curse Israel, they too will be cursed and those who bless Israel they too will be blessed. So, if you keep doing what you are doing you will suffer the conciquences. I didn't write the book, I only follow it and if you don't believe in God, that doesn't mean He doesn't exist. So, mark my words and mark them well, stop what you are doing and see the truth...that land is Zions and has been since the begining of time. It was widly eccepted by the world in 1948 and STILL IS. It is the few that feel different who speak the trash that you speak. Like homosexuality...just because a few in this world that want it eccepted can shout louder than those who believe it to be wrong, doesn't make it right. Therefore, repent of your beliefs before it is too late!

You must be kidding? How about the 3 generations get over it and start rebuilding their lives. Ah that's right - it means hard work and not wanting to die for some sick sympathy vote from the other arab nations. I would rather you keep living like animals. Don't let me down!

In a world of tolerance for other People, it now evident that the ONLY one’s that refuse to tolerate other religions is the Muslims. Muslims around the World have said they will not accept ANY other Religion. Wake up and see that this IS WWIII started LONG before Sept.11 and will not stop until those types are KILLLED themselves. Europe will be the first and to be conquered from within and the rest of the World will follow UNLESS we STAND against them. ANYONE that straps bombs on their children are EVIL. IRAN should be the first stop on this Train and eliminate that problem for now and Start next in the other Muslim countries. GO Israel

graczek, wake up ! You are a total idiot, who can't understand, that the Islamo-Fascists will have just one place left : Paradise with no virgins left. Go on and dream , that's the only thing you and your friends are able to. Just get out of America and crawl in your hole somewhere in Afghanistan.

Hizbullah are such brave soldiers. They march with their faces covered, and hide their rockets behind the skirts of their women, in the middle of civilians. Such Bravery gains my respect. LOL Murderers they are.

I have no allegiance to either country but have been following this debacle since it began. What choice did Israel have? The lunatic President of Iran is calling for the elimination of the Zionist Regime and denying that a Holocaust ever happened. Iran supports Hezbollah financially and provides weapons to the same. Therefore Iran supports terrorism and here's this little country in the middle of Muslim insanity. Are Israeli's expected to sit and wait for the inevitable which will most likely be Iranian nuclear power. I think not. Showing the power and might of the Israeli forces is an obvious indication that they will not stand for Iranian, Syrian, Hezbollah and Hamas threats. I say 'go for it Israel'...enough is enough.

graczek, According to the Palestinians, they claim all of Jordan also. Where does that stop. The issue of Israel and May 15, 1948 HAS been addressed and it’s FINAL. Live with it or DIE. Israel gave Gaza back to the Palestinians and what did the Isreali’s get for it, Rockets and Murder of their soldiers. They withdrew from Lebanon and what did they get, LOTS of Rockets. It’s funny how it ALWAYS takes the UN to make Israel stop KICKING the Terrorist ass. The UN is now just the mouthpiece for the Terrorist, that’s why they recognized the PLO.

Why don't we just give all the land in your Palestine to those who were there first. That would be the Jews by about ohhhh 2000 years? As for those Jews who came there after 1940, if you want those JEws out so badly, why don't you ask Poland and other Eastern European countries for the billions in land and property stolen from European Jews. What? No chance? Exactly and that's why you are being ridiculous. If you want to live in the missle ages, go rent a movie.

Condi! http://www.republicanrantz.com/sitebuilder/images/ANNAN-NASRALLAH-600x431.jpg

I have just three words for you, Man. Paragraphs, paragraphs, paragraphs.

hearing these comments from mottaki is to no ones surprise...IDF should "eliminate" as many as possible hizbullah terrorists in southern lebanon, before ceasefire takes effect.....iran is one of the more dangerous regimes around due to its' petro $$$$....

"Uninvolved" people sitting on either side whine that the other is being served better by the latest UN resolution. Is it truly that black and white, or is each conceding something important - and therefore genuinely disappointed? Or is one (or both?) protecting a percieved advantage-via-loophole to themselves by trying to convince the other they would be foolish to give up a "gift"(horse)?

Bill thank you someone with a broader knowledge of history Graczek I don't know if you noticed but every country we have made peace with we have stayed at peace with That is the POINT!!!! of land for peace. one small point where do you suggest that the four or so million jews whose forbears arrived in the Holy land on or after May 15, 1948 return to a sizeable proportion had to leave arab countries because living there was a serioius health risk Just one other less small point there aren't too many people or nations who can honestly say they have had four viable states on the same sliver of land the latest one being voted in by that erstwhile congress of nations the UN Ignorance of the Jewish religion and its philosophy is not really an excuse for denying it's existence Judaism is a statement of nationhood, belief in God and connection to a particular strip of land. There are some that would suggest that the west bank and Gaza are part of this. However the vast majority of Israelies do not and would be extremely happy to live side by side with the palestinians in two mutally viable and economically functioning states. Shame a ;ot of people forget that and continue stirring the pot of discontent for their own small mindeded agendas.

A Popeye or two paying a visit to Tehran before the ceasefire takes effect?
