1. French Defense Minister Michelle Alliot-Marie
Marlêne ,   FRANCE   (11.13.06)
Everyone knows she is an antisemite, like most politicians in French government. We're not proud of her by any means. She's simply another socialist with a big mouth saying senseless things, over & over & over again. Her days are numbered too.
2. 'Automatic defense reaction'
silvio ,   italy   (11.13.06)
One deduces that the French and that is the U.N. are ready to strike the State of Israel but they are not ready to strike Hizbullah or Arabic states.Will the next footstep be that of the invasion of the Israel State?
3. hadn't french warned to shoot, IAF wouldn't have stopped
(11.13.06)
4. #2 from the bottom of my heart i hope that they will :)
fadi ,   lebanon   (11.13.06)
5. #1 MAM, a honest broker...
Raphael ,   PARIS   (11.13.06)
It is widely known that MAM's boyfriend, Patrick Ollier, heads the French Libyan parliamentary friendship group, which guarantees her objectivity. Besides, she is under legal investigation related to her performance in the so called Clearstream scandal, and needs some noisy outbreak to orient the opinion towards another direction, preferably some jewish plot.
6. COWARDS! got scared that their planes will be shot down by
fadi ,   lebanon   (11.13.06)
french and italian ships :) So definetly theyll stop
7. Why we're not surprised!? after all IAF is good only against
fadi ,   lebanon   (11.13.06)
unarmed civilians of lebanon and Gaza !
8. Soon France and Italy will force israel to stop flights
fadi ,   lebanon   (11.13.06)
above lebanese soil !
9. The French were going to fire?
French shoot? ,   Miami, FL USA   (11.13.06)
The French wouldn't fire a shot to defend Paris, and you're telling me that they'll risk their lives to defend Beirut... I find that unlikely.
10. Correction...
Jonathan ,   London, UK   (11.13.06)
"Paris demanded Israel stop the raids after French peacekeepers came within seconds of shooting down Israeli warplanes two weeks ago." Shouldn't that read "Paris demanded Israel stop the raids after French peacekeepers came within seconds of ATTEMPTING TO SHOOT DOWN Israeli warplanes two weeks ago"? I certainly wouldn't say it was a certainty that French forces could shoot down IAF planes...
11. WE ARE WEAK BECAUSE THE UGLY OLMERT
(11.13.06)
12. France and italy know the trechrous israeli forces attack on
fadi ,   lebanon   (11.13.06)
the merican USS liberty! i bet they gve israel a strong threat to stop these shows otherwise theyll start shooting them down
13. French automatic defense reaction?
Yonatan ,   USA   (11.13.06)
What is that? Would they pee themselves?
14. Fadi, my kitchen appliances are more intelligent than you!
Yonatan ,   USA   (11.13.06)
15. Without people like you fadi , the palestinians would have
(11.13.06)
a state 58 years ago.
16. #10 it was certain planes would go down
(11.13.06)
because planes were not expecting a serious high tech response, unlike palestenian stones thrown by kids, since IAF pilots are spoiled brats of middle east. It is unlikely that French would shoot down even a bird let alone IAF planes. this is just a talk...
17. To fadi #8
silvio ,   italy   (11.13.06)
All the Wars of the French and of the Italians have stayed a slaughter house for the humans. I don't wish it to you that they move. You see Napoleone. The only good thing that the France has done is the Statue of the Liberty in the harbor of New York!
18. #fadi
eugene ,   israel   (11.13.06)
they stopped because they were asked to, its not a war against un after all.
19. Farnce: Israel ...
Daniel ,   UK   (11.13.06)
If you have premoderation, may be you will stop this guy calling himself "fadi, lebanon" from sending multiple stupid comments on this talk back? This is not a chat in GoogleTalk, so please keep your very profound thoughts for yourself!
20. fwench twoops
israeli ,   israel   (11.13.06)
I had no idea these guys had any ammo with them. How do you recognize a French soldier? By his tanned armpits.
21. To # 7
TOM ,   BSAS,ARGENTINA   (11.13.06)
HEY FADI TERRORIST. LOOK AT THIS AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT IAF: Six Day War June 5, 1967 – the Six Day War: The destruction of the entire Egyptian air-force within 3 hours. By the end of the day the Syrian and Jordanian air forces were wiped out as well. The IAF shoot-down total at the end of the war was a claimed record of 451 enemy aircraft downed versus of its own ten downed. See: Operation Red Sheet. War of Attrition March, 1969 until August, 1970 – the War of Attrition: 111 enemy warplanes were shot-down in dogfights by IAF pilots while only four IAF warplanes were shot down in dogfights by enemy pilots (according to Israeli sources). Also, during the Cold War the Soviet Union held close relationships with the Arab nations. On July 30, 1970 the tension peaked: An IAF ambush resulted in a large scale air brawl between IAF planes and MiGs flown by Soviet pilots — five MiGs were shot down, while the IAF suffered no losses. Yom Kippur War October 9, 1973 – the Yom Kippur War: The destruction of the Syrian General Staff in Damascus: On October 9, 1973, two F-4 Phantom quartets attacked and destroyed the Syrian General Staff Headquarters in the heart of Damascus. The Syrian Air Force Headquarters was damaged as well. Also, during the Yom Kippur War, the IAF shot down 277 enemy warplanes accounting for over a third of the IAF's total kills since 1948. [edit] 1982 Lebanon War June 8, 1982 – 1982 Lebanon War: The destruction of the entire Soviet supplied Syrian air-defence system in Lebanon within a few hours without a single warplane lost; Syria with the help of the Soviet Union built up an overlapping network of surface-to-air missiles. Also the IAF states it achieved in dogfights a total of 80 Syrian planes shoot-downs, without a single Israeli plane being shot down. [edit] Israel-Lebanon Conflict: July - August 2006 The IAF played a vital role in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict by leading the Israeli attacks on Lebanon. These strikes, mainly although not exclusively in southern Lebanon, were aimed at crippling Hezbollah's militia which is primarily based in southern Lebanon. SEE?? THEY BOMB INFRAESTRUCTURE AND KILL CIVILIANS, BECAUSE TERRORIST SHOOT MISSILES FROM CIVILIAN AREAS.. 1000 DEAD AND YOU CALL IT A VICTORY OVER ISRAEL? AJJAJAJ funny LONG LIVE ISRAEL, MOSSAD,IDF,IAF
22. Hey EU, how is that disarming of Hezbollah going?
(11.13.06)
Oh right, they are calling to overthrow the Sinoura gov't...good thing you guys are there... /sarc
23. #why?
israeli ,   israel   (11.13.06)
He is well within his rights to make a perfect fool of himself. By the way, fadi-kalam-fadi, you better go defend your own government in Lebanon before Al-qaeda takes over and finishes off whatever is left of your homeland. Unless you are a terrorist yourself, that is.
24. 16# your funny....now shut up.
(11.13.06)
25. HORRIBLE FRENCH BOOTLICKERS!!!!!
stephane ,   france   (11.13.06)
if only this old ugly michele alliot marie was showing the same determination in her statements against the hezbollah who is still receiving weapons from syria,that she show against israel,maybe we have a chance for peace on this border.but,as before this war erupted,the un force was already there,and they were only protecting their arab friends...stupids ,hyppocrit french who want to play the role of "heroe" to be loved by their nice arab friends!!! quelle comedie!!!so funny.the french police is afraid to even enter the problematic suburbs where the arabs live in (occupied) france;and they declare that they will shot israeli jets?! it's pathetic...israel should never stop to fly over the french now to shut their mouth.
26. france's "automatic defense reaction"
Arie ,   Afula   (11.13.06)
What is the 'automatic defense reaction' of the frogs? Ordering more flags of surrender!
27. correction

28. how many French soldiers
israeli ,   israel   (11.13.06)
does it take to defend Paris? - Nobody knows. It's never been attempted.
29. Good for a laugh
Ronnie ,   Gedera, Israel   (11.13.06)
Whenever I'm feeling a bit down, and need a laugh, I watch an old Marx Brothers or Abbott and Costello movie. But lately, I've found something much more humorous and entertaining.....fadi from Lebanon's remarks on Ynet talkbacks. Fadi, please keep them coming.
30. OLMERT/PERETZ ;LAST WEEK SAID NOT UNTIL 2 IDF ARE RETURNED
