1. Flights should be stopped
Faisal ,   India   (11.09.06)
Israel should really stop flights in Lebanon Airspace. UN forces now at the borders now so let them do their work .
2. Flying over Lebanon
JEREMY ,   Northern Israel   (11.09.06)
Seconds away from firing on our planes??? They were diving on the French troops? Who are they kidding. This is just more anti-Israel talk, by anti semetic French.
3. The new French movie
Francois ,   Montreal, Canada   (11.09.06)
In Lebanon, the frogs are intending to shoot a new movie based on Clint Eastwood's Flags of our Fathers: White Flags of our Fathers.
4. Its only a matter of time
deft one ,   Dubai, UAE   (11.09.06)
this is typical israeli arrogance. its just a matter of time until UNIFIL fires back. Then maybe israel will learn a lesson to respect their neighbours.
5. Questions for the French
Uzi   (11.09.06)
1. Have you been so effective and successful in disarming Hizbolla and blocking weapons smuggling from Syria and Iran that you shifted your focus to harmless overflights? 2. If you are deployed and equipped to attack IAF are you also adequately deployed and equipped to implement your mandate of disarming Hizbolla and blocking weapons smuggling from Syria and Iran?
6. #2
Chris ,   USA   (11.09.06)
Agreed. Notice that the anti-semites are willing to fire on the Israelis, but you won't find them willing to fire on the Moslems.
7. 1701 the great double cross against Israel
WAKE UP ISRAEL   (11.09.06)
http://bless-israel.blogspot.com/ War against Israel has been non-stop since Cpl. Shalit's kidnap. In 6 mos. Israel has been brought to its absolute weakest in 58 years.
8. KEEP FLYING IDF! UNIFIL'S NOT DOING SQUAT FOR ISRAEL
(11.09.06)
9. ...almost fired.. but France decided to surrender instead.
RyanH ,   Ashdod Israel   (11.09.06)
10. @Jeremy "The Holocaust Industrialist"
Kais ,   Qatar   (11.09.06)
You are a moron! As most Israelis you still use the unfortunate and horrible death of millions of Jews to achieve a political purpose. Stop abusing the word anti semetic with every person you disagree with. The French are the most secular people in Europe and just coz they rightfully feel threatened by your country's Air HAWKS and want to defend themselves and Lebanese sovereignty; you bash them with the word anit semetic! You are a failure to your own people who inncodentl died under the NAZI war machine. Grow up and mature Israel into a society where you accept the point of view of others without unfailry labaling them anti-semites. I would have not waited 2 seconds to shoot down any air plane diving on me. Feel lucky that the French did not puch the buttom. But I am sure there is goping to be a next time very soon if the Israeli air Hawks continue to act in this manner!
11. More questions for the French
Uzi   (11.09.06)
Why are you so sensitive about your privacy, what are you hiding? What happened to transparency? Do you shy away from being watched making love to slimey terrorists?
12. Faisal what are you smoking in India.
freedom ,   canada   (11.09.06)
If the UN forces really are doing their work, they would be disarming Hizbullah and sealing the border from terrorist activity. Oh yeah, the UNIFIL is under french leadership.. Thats not going to happen.
13. Firing on IAF
Joe Simon ,   Kfar Aviv, Israel   (11.09.06)
How many armed Hizbulla have you stopped? Have you even slowed down the flow of ordnance to the Hizbulla? First, do what you were sent there to accomplish - the disarming of Hizbulla and cessation of attacks against Israel - then we'll talk about stopping Israeli overflights.
14. Hey Frenchy !
Ariya Gothelf ,   Gedera Israel   (11.09.06)
It has been well documented that the Frenchies sleep with the arabs . Even more well known for thier antisemetism . So tell me this Frenchy have you stopped arms smuggling from syria or have you dissarmed hezzbullah yet. Your onesidedness is showing and you reek of antisemetism Hey i heard when the nazi's arrived in paris the mayor of the town came out and asked "TABLE FOR 100,000 ". Dont you dare tell me the french have forgotten that they are followers of Jesus and that thier allmighty god is a Jew !
15. 4 Typical response your in Dubai.
freedom ,   canada   (11.09.06)
If you really want peace in the region you should be calling for the removal of Hizbullah and a seal on the border in regards to any terrorist activities.. Hmm..... See any al quada lately..... turn em in if you ever do.
16. To # 6
Mazen ,   Lebanon   (11.09.06)
FYI, the correct reference should be "israelis and arabs", and not as you say, "israelis and "Muslims" This shows that you are a racists, illiterate anti muslim who does not know Jack Shit. i advise you to refrain from commenting on this forum if you want to make such idiotic comments.
17. @ All the "Holocaust Industrialists" +Ariya
Kais ,   Qatar   (11.09.06)
Instead of trading with and abusing the blood of innocent jews, go learn how to intellectually conduct a discussion. Ariya, You watch too much SICK Jerry Springer shows. I would advice you to try reading books if you can!!! If not then sign up for a career in the IDF, they need dumb people like you! I thank GOD not all Jews are like you...
18. Ground to Air MIssiles?
Eric ,   London   (11.09.06)
Since when does UNIFIL need ground-to-air missiles? Obviously shows the true bias of the UN against Israel! UNIFIL lets Hizballah buiold concrete bunkers meters away from observation towers and does nothing... I hope the French contigent fires on the IAF. They don;t have the "stones" to do it. But the upside is that Paris politicians could gain a meodicum of sympathy from their soon to be Mulism majority!! The UN and the French are a disgrace!! Keepo it up IAF!!
19. why the "nearly" ?????
fadi ,   lebanon   (11.09.06)
20. the UNIFIL forces have to protect themselves !!!
fadi ,   lebanon   (11.09.06)
if they dont this is what will happen to them ... read this article about israeli deliberate attack on USS liberty during 1967 war in which dozens of american soldiers were killed and wounded in cold blood by a deliberate israeli attack intended to block the eyes of ths US navy of the israeli attack on west bank : http://www.wrmea.com/backissues/0693/9306019.htm
21. French Soldiers Tantanning
Carlos Murphy ,   Red Hill Australia   (11.09.06)
These brave soldiers came all the way from France to get a suntan on the beaches of Beirut. And what do these inconsiderate Israeli's do they fly over them and disturb thier sleep. Some of them could be topless, and these modest soldiers do want thier privacy.
22.  We nearly fired at IAF aircraft
silvio ,   italy   (11.09.06)
This fact shows that France and Italy are in Lebanon for obstructing Israel and favor the Islamic.
23. Olmert's Diplomacy
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (11.09.06)
This situation is the result of Olmert's brilliant diplomacy. He agreed to UN troops - what did anyone expect? That enforcement would be one-sided should come as no surprise. If we don't get rid of our incompetant gov't. soon, we are going to be in big trouble.
24. Fadi from lebanon
james ,   australia   (11.09.06)
Why won't you go back to your terrorist cave, where you came from? I'm tired of seeing your stupid worthless comments.
25. Serious question
Frank   (11.09.06)
Why are israelis so dumb ? Why overfly a peace keeper position when you killed recently a bunch of peace keepers. israelis are stupid and dangerous for themselves. israelis aircrafts are going to get shot down soon. it will be very funny to see the gay macho man israeli ejecting over Lebanon.
26. Tit for Tat
Dave Levi ,   Burbank. USA   (11.09.06)
If the French fire one single missile or one shell at an IDF, we, in the Diaspora, must start a massive boycott of French fries. Everything with a French adjective, should be boycotted, starting with fries, and ending with their wines. If every Jew and right thinking Christian stopped drinking french wine, that would cost that country billions in lost francs. But then again, maybe a few Israeli IDF flow-overs, with rockets blazing at the French whores in Lebanon, would suffice. Remember how many Jews make tours of France...that should stop immediately. If France wants a war, we will give them one. In essence, everyone is violating the cease fire, so why pick on Israeli security maneuvers? It's all about the old fashioned Jew hatred..dating back to when Jews were kicked out of that G-d forsaken country.
27. 16 Perhaps you might be right... NO.. I dont
freedom ,   canada   (11.09.06)
think so .... So who is treating the christians in their homeland in Bethlehem like crap, the israelis or arabs..???? Who is responsible for the burning of five churches in the west bank.. The arabs or israelis..??? You need to go back to school....
28. 20 Fadi are you spewing again...
freedom ,   canada   (11.09.06)
Heres one to shove down your throat.. you seem hungry.... How bout those two Hizbullah suicide bombings in 1983.. Remember the US marines and the French paratroopers, nearly 400 killed by the terrorists at Hizbullah... And this is the group that for the most part calls the shots in Lebanon.. Fadi you are laughable.....
29. James fro Australia
Uzi   (11.09.06)
Regarding Fadi: 1. Take it easy and save your energy for slimier terrorists of which we face too many for comfort. 2. According to my very limited Palestinian Arabic, 'Fadi' means empty or hollow; eg 'qalam fadi' means empty talk or bullshit.
30. The cheese eating surrender monkeys can't shoot straight.
