61. #50, Adam, thanks
Marhaba ,   Beirut Lebanon   (09.19.06)
for your honest reply. Just to comment on a few points of yours: 1. One of my sister's best friends was Jewish. Her family left Lebanon in 76 during civil war. It's sad. My French teacher for 2 years was Jewish back in late 70s (Miss Toby). Not sure where she is now. 2. I have no doubt the Jews have suffered a lot during the past 2000 years. But I finally have - from you - a clear Israeli point of view re right of return of Palestinians: a. Impracticality: How to define who is eligible to be a refugee, and b. They fled because their armies asked them to. Quite frankly Adam, point a) above is debatable. I have no doubt that some - maybe not all - can prove where they were before 49. As to point b, Palestinians may have fled out of fear of being massacred (or as you say by their armies request). Even if their fears were unjustified, the argument still doesn't stand up. Do you agree that had these Palestinians stayed where they were, it would have been a threat to Israel, i.e. Israel being a Jewish state? If no, I would like to hear that. If yes, than arguments a) and b) are “coincidently” convenient to your cause. Meanwhile, I believe that for peace to happen there must be a mutually accepted narrative, that Palestinians and Israelis can tell their future generations. Again, Thanks, I enjoyed reading your perspective on the matter.
62. What Anti-Semetism???
Walldizo ,   Damas   (09.19.06)
The auther should have focused on Israeli behavior as a colonial force.It is the Israeli arrogance and its apartheid policies toward Palestinians that kake people hate Israel, not because they are Jews but for what they exhibit.Anti-Semetism is an a product of Zionist's sick minds which portray itself as a permenat victim regardless of what crimes it commits against humanty.So stop pitying youself and behave as a normal responsible state.Those critisizing Israel are not necessarily Anti Semits but people who are sick and tired of your warmongering policies.Return Arab lands and try for once to make peace with your neighbors.

65. This writer is dumber than Olmert himself
Ali ,   Beirut   (09.21.06)
There have been no evidence about Hezbollah's involvement in any attack outside Lebanon or Israel. Hezbollah was always acting in reaction to israeli aggression. They occupied Lebanon, HZB fights the occupiers, they kidnapp hostages, HZB capture israeli soldiers. IAF kills civilians on purpose, HZB attacks their settlements. If someone deserves to be called Nazi or identified as Hilter of 21st century it is the israeli murders who killed 1400 civilians in 33 days. Nasrallah apologized for the Arabs in Nazareth because he knows perfectly that the war was not theirs.
