More govern"mental" bluster towing the PMs office line. "Now we can deal with them as a country and a government, and speak and compromise."-This is pure BS spin Who is this guy trying to kid? The Upper West Side liberals that want to feel better about Olmert/Livni's cavings in to Iran with their fake cease fire, spiced up by a "tough talking" IDF soldier that's going to kill Nasrallah? How transparent can you get? Saturday's NY Times featured a huge photo of wailing arab women at Qana thus towing the Hizbollah line. Now on Sunday it's the Jew's turn.

and the problems it keeps creating in the mideast.

Am Yisrael Chai! Die, Nasrallah, die!

It's obvious that Israeli Gov't has the clearest perspective of the situation in Mideast. No more blinders. And please, no more politicians (MKs) with conflicting arab interests, who love to give interviews and have photo ops, but only exist to weaken Israeli stand.

The IDF should keep saying to itself that the Lebanese government has control of the south, maybe one day the dream will come true.

This article sounds like a puff piece for the Olmert government in order to deflect criticism of its handling of the failed Lebanonese war. Pretty lame.

hopefully soon....such creatures are no good for humanity....

You dont destry an ideology by killing its leader, point one. Secondly who in Israel is capable of destroying Nasrallah and his movement, and please dont say the IDF, we are not fools. And before anyone comments on what I have said take the time and read it through, let you to maketh a fool out of yourselves.

if israel was trying to assassinate him until now and was not successful, i do not hold any confidence that it will ever happen. like lebanon, israel was completely lazy and allowed hizbullah to live and flourish. now it is beyond either to imagine to control or contain. nice job.

PUT A LARGE ENOUGH REWARD ON NAZIRALLAH'S HEAD AND SOME SNITCH WILL GIVE UP HIS LOCATION SOONER OR LATER. AL-ZARQUARI IN IRAN, HAD A $25 MILLION DOLLAR REWARD PUT ON HIM BY THE U.S. HIS LOCATION WAS REVEALED TO U.S. FORCES AND THEY KILLED HIM. THE INFORMANT NOW HAS $25 MILLION USD AND WAS GIVEN SAFE PASSAGE TO ANYWHERE HE WANTED AND A NEW IDENTITY BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. SWEET.

This is exactly why Israel waged the First Lebanon War, to wipe out PLO and Yasser Arafat. The minute Arafat was expelled from Lebanon, Hezbollah had risen. So, are we that naive to believe that should Nasrallah is killed, the threat from Lebanon is over??

Remember those lovely terrorists who massacered all those Israeli atheletes in munich? Israel tracked those terrorists and assasinated every one of them. It took a few years to do it.... but they are ALL DEAD. ALL OF THEM. Give Mossad some time............................................... The "NAZZ" should be S- -tting in his pants....Coward that he is. Start the clock, folks.

Khomeini Died and the US bombed and killed the first parliament in Iran (the spear head of the Iranian revolution). The US also created and backed mujahidi khalq. Anything changed? Then Israel fought Hizbullah killed and kidnapped many leaders one of whom is Moussawi. Now Israel demolished everything for Hizbullah. Anything changed? Now lets suppose Israel succeeds in killing Nasrallah. You think that would make any difference? Israel and the United States got one thing and only ONE thing right. That is Hizbullah and Iran work the same way. Israelis and the US going must recognize that they are not facing average Arabs who fall like dominos when the top falls.

It is nice to say what "not" to do… So: Point one: how you "do" destroy an anti-Semitic, anti-Israeli ideology ? Point two: ditto, you may have a better candidate to do this ( by the way, what is/was your military rank ? )

Chanan, if that is your name, it might be hard, but you should try to use some common sense! How is this a foolish remark ? Where in the Arab / Muslim psyche, is there room for anything except a personality cult? Isreal has been so successful against her Arabs partly because Arabs keep dreaming of a Salahadin. There is this feeling that all their troubles will be answered by some messiah who will come to destroy the West in general and Isreal in particular. The fact that Hezbollah is able to dole out Iranian provided patronage to the locals, does nothing to help the Lebanese to stand on their own two feet in the long run. Hezbollah is Nasarallah, and killing him will certainly be a huge set back for the organization. Of course, he will be replaced, but the strain on his replacement to replicate his charismastic tendencies and other achievements, would it self be onlty one of the many obstacles to be overcome. At the same time, you need to do a little research to find out what has happened to Isreal's enemies who have been foolush enough to instigate wanton acts of violence against its citizens. Perhaps you need to some help so I am going to ask you to check out these occurrences; Entebbe, Munich , the NAZI hunters, Tunis 1986. Beleive me, Nasarallah is expecting what is coming to him.

He shows more how they don't learn from the history ..... there will be hundreds of Nasrallah after .... the roots of the problems is the key ..... learn once in your life that the time of showing power is over .

It is dangeouros for israelis to consigering themselves above the law, above the general moral principles. This is not about self defence but the arrogance of power. Desconsidering other people will conduct only to condamnation of israeli actions even for people who isn't antisemit. You had drawn the wrong conclusions from the past happenings. Make peace, give up the occupied territories and terror will stop or if doesn't then and only then you will have reason to fight.

what a state! a state that solves every problem by killing n distruction whether victims are military , civil or even UN blue caps. what can we call such state? i leave to your common sense.

Jews shouldn't have to 'occupy' land that lebanon refuses to occupy itself. Instead lebanon prefers to let Shitzbollah occupy its land and use it as a terrorist base. KM you need to think about moving your sorry terrorist-supporting-ass to southern lebanon. Civilized Americans have just about totaly had with supporters of terror in this country. You support terror, and your considered an enemy of the US, and will will be dealt with accordingly

People like yourself really need to take a hard look at history. Oops I guess you never have.. yet... Land for peace did not work, and land won in a defensive war one has no precident for giving back.. There are no occupied territories, those are in your mind.. A one state solution would be best for Israel if all could get along.. Do you really think palestinians will be happy in Judea and Samaria, perhaps Jordan after all is the best solution . Look at the historical data. Jews were moved from areas the past, was this not a crime? Go back to the unfair balfour agreement and research Judea and Samaria, youll very likely change your tune on so called occupied territory. Have a nice day.

Yeah, how do YOU know he's stupid ? Are YOU an officer ? Do YOU have a better solution ? You're most probably NOT from the Middle East, if you can make such a stupid remark, like: "….the time of showing power is over ..". Well, it is NOT over ( for sure not in the Middle East ) and IS NOT OVER with the Arabs, which ONLY understand power. So, who's the stupid ?

I HAVE TO LAFF WHEN I HEAR ALL THESE PEOPLE FM DISTANT PLACES TELL US WHERE WE SHUD LIVE..WHEN HALF THE MUSLIM POPULATION OF THE MIDDLE EAST HAS NOW RESETTLED IN VIRTUALLY EVERY PART OF THE WORLD, GIVEN TIME THEY WILL NOT BE A MINORITY BUT A MAJORITY, IF GAZA IS ANY INDICATION TO THEIR BREEDING HABITS...WOMEN ARE TREATED LIKE SLAVES BAREFOOT AND PREGNANT, WHATS ONE CHILD LOST WHEN U HAVE ANOTHER 10 ON THE SIDE..ITS LIKE GOLDA MEIR SAID: WHEN THE ARABS LOVE THEIR CHILDREN MORE THAN THEY HATE US THEN AND ONLY THEN MIGHT THEIR BE PEACE.

The officer is talking just like an american blonde girl, clueless maybe. If you kill Nasrallah, there will be another Nasrallah. You are not fighting an individual, you are fighting a belief. Just like Sayed Abbas, you killed him, and you raised another Sayyed Abbas (Nasrallah). So, what the hell the officer was thinking?

will think that I am a stark raving mad right wing religious fanatic in light of what I am about to say. No I am not. It is not Nasserallah that has to die, it is Islam that has to die and pass away from this world. Any religion or ideaology that promotes and encourages human sacrifice, from its followers and the killing of outsiders as an ideal way of pleasing a "god", has no place in the ranks of humanity. Any and all societies that ever practiced and promoted these evil and unnatural atrocities have passed on, gone forever, Aztec, Maya, Inca in relatively recent times and of course all the societies of the Ancient World and even those of the Classical World that actually brought us so much enlightenment. All have gone and so also will Islam pass over. Yes, I am comparing Islam with all the evil incorporated in all the aforementioned, it is even worse because the basic tenet of Islam (yes I know the root and etymology and all the comprehensive meanings of the word) has succeeded in brainwashing generation after generation of followers and today comprises more than one fifth of mankind, one fifth of humans are brainwashed and wish as a matter of principal and ideaology to erase all other ideaologies and if neccessary to erase all other humans in order to achieve this high and mighty goal handed down to them by the almighty. This is the long and the short of it, this is the essence of it and the sooner that we in the Western civilized world not only realize this but openly admit it and prepare ourselves for the inevitable conflict, the quicker we will be able to thwart and defeat these evil intentions and ensure that in the distant future Islam will pass into history. No, I am not stark raving mad and I have no doubt that future generations will understand and implement all that I have said and that indeed Islam will become history.

BOMBS PLANTED ON TRAINS GERMANY'S EXCUSE WELL MAYBE THERE WERE A FEW PEOPLE ANGRY ABT THE RECENT WAR BETWEEN HIZBULLA/ISRAEL - HELLOOOO DO U PEOPLE HEAR URSELVES?? SO THAT IS OUR NEW CODE OF ETHICS IF U DONT LIKE SOMETHING YOU JUST GO OUT AND BLOW UP SOME TRAINS!! GIVE ME A BREAK. NASRALLA AND HIS CRONIES AHMEDAJAD INCLUDED ARE GIVEN DAILY PLATFORMS ON CNN/SKY/BBC THEY ARE PRACTICALLY CELEBRITIES FOR GOD SAKE.. YOU TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO TREAT YOU AND AND WE HAVE TAUGHT THEM THAT THEY HAVE A PLATFORM TO AIR THEIR EVIL INTENTIONS WHENEVER THE URGE TAKES THEM..BY DOING SO U CONDON THEIR BEHAVIOUR INSTEAD OF CONDEMNING IT.. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO US..??THAT WE INTERVIEW TERRORISTS, AND OTHERS WHO THREATEN THE PEACE AND STABILITY OF THE WORLD AND GIVE THEIR WORDS CREDENCE..HAVE WE ALL GONE MAD??. U SEE MY FRIENDS, ISRAEL IS THE FIRST ON THEIR HIT LIST BUT GIVEN THE TASTE FOR BLOOD OTHER COUNTRIES WILL FOLLOW IN THEIR PURSUIT TO RULE/CONQUER THE WORLD. ALL OF U SITTING BEHIND TV/MONITOR SCREENS THINK U ARE EXEMPT..ITS ALL INNOCENT PLAY...YEH RIGHT AND I AM HOUDINI BACK FM THE DEAD.

If Nasserallad killes ( La Samah Allah) , thousands of Nasserallahs will come.His death is not the problem. Your relonged occupation is the biggest problem.Get rif of your old thoughts.

Wrong. The combination of death, destruction of infrastructure and a personality cult that Nasrallah has created will throw his ratings into freefall once he is separated from his Iranian / Syrian backers (dealing with the swagger), his cost to the peace of Lebanon analysed in objective terms and out of the picture (cf. Stalin). Lebanese who have a broader vision are no different to Israelis and want to live in peace in a democratic system. That's why they kicked out the Syrians, blame the Syrians' remaining representatives on Lebanese earth - Nasrallah, Nabih Berry etc and know how far Lebanon still has to go before it becomes a democracy, in place of the militia-dominated sham it currently is. George, my fellow UK citizen, to you, "common sense" seems to mean something different from what the rest of us understand. Israel actually faces one single problem, although its manifestations differ from terrorist state to terrorist state to terrorist organisation. Weasel words from the likes of Hamas don't disguise it. Repeated speeches and interviews from Nasrallah, Ahmadinejad, Masha'al and their ilk make it crystal-clear - the total destruction of Israel, of the Jewish people and the subjugation of the western world to the perpetrators' unhealthy values. Israel's targeted killings of terrorist leaders, by comparison, and the sacrifice of its brave soldiers - Jenin etc - where even NATO would flatten the area first - demonstrate the Israeli state's discrimination (in the correct sense of the word) and humanity in the most difficult of circumstances. Compare that with Hizbullah's cynical human / UNIFIL shield tactics which are responsible for the death of the UNIFIL observers and of countless civilians.

hisbullah is all nassrallah ffools
