Advice for the ignorant: Better to keep your mouth shut rather than open it and remove all doubt- Hey Jan, BELIEVE me, these arabs want to kill you too

Please, YNET, turn off comments to these stories so none of the Jew hating maniacs can descrate the names of our dead flowers.

"They were not in a picnic I guess" You guessed right Jan. They were hunting down the bastards of Hezbollah who started all of this. "So they deserve what happened to them." Wrong Jan. An appeasing mindless moron such as yourself deserves whatever happens to you when the muslims finally outnumber you in the coming years.

I guess that the outcome of the war on Lebanon has led nothing apart from casualties, destruction and hatered. Add to this, the 2 IDF soldiers are still captives and Israel lost more than 150 of its troops. Irony of wars. I reckon it would have been sensilble for the Israeli cabinet to resort to diplomatic means to resolve the matter rather than bringing the region 30 years backward and create hatered that will continue for 100 of years to come.

WHO WERE THERE TO DO THEIR DUTY AND TO DEFEND THEIR COUNTRY. MAY THEIR MEMORY BE BLESSED!

i cant believe an ordinary organisation like hizbolah could stand israel what of if they are a nation, am disappointed.

Two words for you: F--K OFF

you are very correct on this one. this is olmert's mistake. whomever he relied on for information was either misinformed or misled him. either way, it is olmert's responsibility. he will have to answer to his people for not prosecuting this thing until the captives were returned. he got nothing but time to prepare again. at least the israelis got field intelligence out of this. they now know their enemy. i suspect after having been asleep at the switch, the IDF and the Shin Bet and all other military intelligence organizations will restructure and regroup for the battle that really is to come. while i believe in diplomacy, i dont believe the enemies of israel care one iota for diplomacy. they want israel's destruction. to that end, olmert is not the man for the job. he will be replaced by a harsher more resolute netanyahu or someone of that ilk. hatred is taught with religion in that region. israel need only exist. to that extent jew-bating and jew hating are the norm rather than the exception. but i agree with you that had the israelis had better information and thus better weaponry and therefore were better prepared to go into lebanon to confront iran (hez.), then they would have spent less time bombing beirut neighborhoods and more time with massive troops cleaning out the area after cluster bombs bunker busted the enemy. the israelis can win any war with syria or lebanon or both. but the israelis want to win quickly. but to do that, they need better field and operational intelligence so that they know what the f&^$& they are doing when they go there.

To Jan in amsterdam, please start to learn about the causes of present situation and war ,before you shoot off your fool mouth. In answer to your question what were israeli soldiers doing in lebanon, the answer is that they were defending their country Israel (a country the size of new jersey) against barbaric, beastly, mindless, hateful, animals, who believe me will also come and slaughter you and your countrymen the first chance they have. It seems that tiny israel takes up so much room on the earth that they can't bear to see it in their midst. The second answer to your rediculous question is that they were trying to stop the more than 3,000 rockets that these morons have been shooting into israel for more than a month now. Does that answer your intelligent question sufficiently Jan?

I think it is a disgrace that YNET allows comments such as 16 and 4!!! We are very proud of our army and at this present timewe do not have to get upset by idiots!!!

In any war the winner is the loser. It is just a matter of time. But the question is: Are we we humans? Did HaShem or Allah created humans to blood shed each others blood. To solve the conflict we need to stop teaching our children hatred. Neither an Arab or a Muslim child when born is carrying a bomb neither a Jewsh baby can drive and charge a bomb from a Merkava. Before we cry and mourn our beloved ones who died in the war, we should mourn and cry our selves becuase we taught them how to kill themselves. What is the benefit of religion and education when it does not hold us from killing each other. The solution to the whole Arab and Israeli conflict is very simple; give the Plastenian their land as declared by the UN in the late 40s, change the media tunes from war to peace, encourage peaceful education. Then no body will mourn his child from a death due to war.

muslims otherwise they take out 10 planes so tell us zack what is britain going to do. Resort to diplomatic means to solve there muslim problems. I think not. You cant solve by way of diplomatic means with teroroistl. Best just to kill them kill all of them.

Do you feel for them also??

To those who suggested that the comment section should be closed. Do you know how absurd and undemocratic it sounds to not let other's opinions surface in the media, on a website like this? The world doesn't revovle around what you consider to be the only 'truth' and 'reality'. You all are very, very wrong and mistaken in having such sentiments. This is not just undemocratic, but more along the lines of fascism to suggest the supression of other's opinions that happen not to coincide with your ideals. You should be ashamed for making other sane jews look really bad in the media by posting such idiotic comments.

Seventy years ago in Germany Jews were regarded as sub-human and illegally killed in large numbers. Now it seems that the hundreds of Lebanese women, killed illegally by your so-called defence force, were sub-human too, for you claim that an Israeli is the first woman to die in the Lebanon. Some of my friends escaped the holocaust. They would have wept with shame at the attitude of your publication to non-Israelis, women or men.

a bit of understanding wouldnt hurt you we had israeli women killed before by the katyiushas, since the first days of this war. here it speaks about a soldier woman in combat ! and as for the lebanese.. illegal killing of lebanese ??? .. they shelter terrorists in their homes ! firing hundreds of misiles on our civilians ! on civilians ! is this legal ? you chose to ignore this fact ? those who keep misiles in their homes, who shelter terrorists in their homes , are not civilians. when one starts a war he should expect to get hurt. la guerre comme a la guerre.. do you expect us to spare their lives when they dont spare ours ? do their lives come before mine ? are you such an atlruist ? caring more for those who try to kill you ? btw, OUR infantry soldiers do it. ( and i dont approve of it ) you WONT see the other side doing it.

some of your " friends" escaped the holocaust ?? really ? what is your age ? mine didnt escape !!! my grandparents on both sides, my aunts and uncles, and cousins, they DIDNT escape the holocoust, i grew up not knowing them. so dont ! remind me what it was about . dont evoke it, dont use the holocaust in vain . its not starting to get close.

When Israeli people read such comments, they do not have to be astonished. If you consider what the cultural background has been here in Europe in the aftermate of WW2, largely dominated by the worst of the leftist and communist points of view; and consider also what this has done to generations of people who have grown up in schools, universities, works places largely dominated by communists or communist- friendly unions, media , newspapers and televisions also largely in the hands of leftist journalists unions; all this considered, don't astonish to read such mushy-brain opinions. The public opinions here in Europe have passed from the fascist antisemitic opinions to the absolutely identical communist antisemitic opinions. See, as for the case of England, the difficults which Blair, a sincere democratic and pro western politician, is facing in front of the majority of his public opinion.
