1. Iranian imperialism, Hezbollah war crimes
JPS ,   Efrat   (10.11.07)
It's time for the left wing apologists to get off their lazy liberal asses and push charges at the international courts in Europe. The Iranian occupation of south Lebanon continues unchallenged, and Hezbollah's violation of international law that caused a war last year is unpunished. Nasrallah continues to be a war criminal by refusing to allow the Red Crescent to visit the kidnapped soldiers. The Hezbollah gunmen who violated international law by crossing the Israeli border and murdering the other soldiers must stand trial and pay for their crimes. Only then will the Lebanese see that the Islamic mafia that is destroying their country will be held accountable, and that the Lebanese may indeed have a promising future. While Islamic criminals run wild, there will be no peace for anybody, Muslims included.
2. Attention, words are swords!
Andras Bereny ,   Kfar Tapuah, Samaria   (10.11.07)
Over (and above?) the general significance of this article, please pay attention to terminology: How come the "two soldiers who were kidnapped by Hizbullah last year are dead", while "IDF kills" search founds 296 results on the ynet site alone?
3. hello human rights activists
eliezer ,   jerusalem, israel   (10.11.07)
hmmmm, what ever happened to our bleeding heart human rights activists? If an arab has a fence built between his town and ours, they are out there crying bloody tears. but when our boys end up in the hands of sadistic arab torturers, they don't say a word. human rights activists? just anit semitics in a new dress.
4. Do not allow visits by red cross or families
jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.11.07)
to all arab prisoners till our soldiers come home from captivity. Also f they are dead,then execute all lebanese prisoners in our jails.
5. wht did u all expect from terrorists
haim ,   mtl canada   (10.11.07)
why do u think they didnt want to give any news about them but thts the way they act knowing we r cowards cause we will never fight the war the way it should be done meaning the same way they fight and see how long they will hold on
6. aside from sentiments, which of which Israel prefers;
observers   (10.11.07)
dead or alive? if Israel was to decide their fate, Israel's answer would certainly be "Better Dead". For Israel their death is the final solution of the whole mess. Think it again and reconsider how Israel reacted from the start and you find it the correct answer!
7. IF TRUE THIS REVEALS THE OBSCENITY OF THE PERES PARDON...
stude ham   (10.11.07)
and the olmert release of untold numbers of terrorists. supposedly as a goodwill gesture. well, if this report is true it demonstrates the nature and response of the enemy towards 'goowill gestures'. there is no, nor has there even been any, possibility of negotiating with these enemies.
8. If true, Olmert is a complete failure and Abbas is worse.
David ,   Hartford USA   (10.11.07)
If this is true, I would expect the IDF to take matters into its own hands as the appointed leader of Israel is incapable of protecting the country and its soldiers. As for Mr Abbas, the duplicitous piece of sh-- should be arrested and executed. He has not done a single verifiable action to help get the soldiers released. He speaks to us one way and to his people another. He tells us what we want to hear and tells his people the truth about his intentions, which is Greater Palestine and Lesser Israel. G-d help Israel!
9. to number 8
Jerry Diamond ,   Toronto Canada   (10.11.07)
you said it perfectly . Those were the very words I myself wanted to express
10. We are still thinking of you and your families...
Adam ,   Ramat Gan   (10.11.07)
...G-d help you both.
11. How sad if true !
Abel Shoni ,   France   (10.11.07)
They crossed the border which separates the civilized man from the barbarian. If this information is true, all the civilized people are in mourning. My saddened thoughts go initially to the afflicted families and Israel. The leaders of the country would be advised to understand the hegemonic ambitions of their neighbors and their criminal intention. Israel must count its true friends and be intractable with its enemies. That presupposes a clear and iron political ambition. The Achilles' heel of Israel is known - its generosity, it is appropriate thus that all are united behind this country, which faces threats of annihilation.
12. Re-11
Libneniyyeh ,   Canada   (10.11.07)
The "afflicted families" you say? Do you mean those of the 1200 deceased in Lebanon? Do you mean those who died slowly under the rubble, suffocated by your destruction? I am not a fan of any political party, but justice will prevail. And please, refrain from the crap about who started it and human shields - nobody in the world buys it anymore. All-destructive war can never be and has never been justifiable retaliation for kidnapped soldiers. Political prisoner exchange has been taking place for centuries over the world. Nothing will justify what the Israeli government did. I don't care if your soldiers are dead or alive, but if they are dead, I hope it was slow.
13. PERES IS SHMOK
REGARDS TO KAPO-   (10.11.07)
14. # 12 Come on, how is life in Canada ?
Abel Shoni ,   France   (10.11.07)
Not facing Iran's deadly threats. I am not your Achilles' heel. Perhaps you want the blessed land destroyed, you too ? You know : « Blessed are those ... cursed are those ... » Come to Israel, meet Israelis and confront the truth. Open your mouth then, and do not judge before !
15. PUre and thorough hate
Maewhite ,   Tel Aviv   (10.11.07)
War as retaliation for kidnapped soldiers? How about for lobbing missiles into civilian areas . No sovereign regime in the world would stand for Hezbollah's actions into our territory. Sad, Mr. Libneniyyeh. You say justice will prevail and then utter a cruel and sadistic wish for our soldiers---what justice is yours? More and more and more bloodshed on both sides? Better put your intelligence and energies into building, not focussing on destruction as you do. PS- What are you doing in Canada if you';re such a patriot of the Arab lands?
16. My Condolances to the Families
emanon ,   USA   (10.11.07)
It is as I expected. Soon we will hear the same about Shalit as well.
17. # 12: "Political prisoner exchange"
noa ,   beer sheva, il   (10.11.07)
Well, there is no exchange because our side frees "political prisoners" (wrong term, should read murderers) and the arab side does not. Right?
18. #12- Libneyyeh, the world sees only too clearly what.......
Cameron ,   USA   (10.11.07)
a pack of fumbling, incompetent cowards all too many of you Muslims really are. The Shiite twits got exactly the kind of pounding in Lebanon they deserved. The Western world has particular contempt for Muslims who run away to infidel countries like Canada after failing miserably to construct a modern, civilized reality(that is, if they ever really made any kind of effort) within the Islamic world. Your shameful failures & behavior leave a bad stink in everyone's nose.
19. #2--Andras from Italy
ER ,   Canada   (10.11.07)
Normally I don’t respond to verbiage as yours; nevertheless, I understand yours comes form a peace-loving country. I had many friends that were involved in the Invasion of Italy who told stories of how the Italian army was so reticent to kill the enemy, the solders surrendered on mass! Indeed, the history books are replete with such tales, demonstrating how much the Italians apparently reviled killing and that is why, I suppose, they shipped the Jews off to Germany so that others could do their dirty work! No blood on your hands.
20. Trade one Jew for one Muslim
Gary ,   Los Angeles   (10.11.07)
Why do Muslims always want 1 for 1000. Can't they get over their inferiority?
21. #4 Jason White
(10.11.07)
Execute all Libanese prisoners? Your talkback is ignorant and you make yourself look stupid...
22. Savages
marya ,   sacramento, USA   (10.11.07)
What to expect from brutal animals - worse than any animal!? If it were to their benefit in anyway, they would have exploited the fact (if it were true)the captives were alive. The captives ...I can't even say it...
23. Cameron and co
Libneniyyeh ,   Canada   (10.11.07)
You're funny. I did not "run away to Canada." I was invited to come and am completing my PhD on a scholarship. Furthermore, Im a Lebanese woman, not a man. Finally, cut the stereotypical rant about Arabs and Muslims. Why dont you visit Lebanon for a change - you will be surprised at how much of your preconceptions will change. Lebanon was and will always be my home; my stay here is temporary.
24. #12 - Libneniyyeh, get a clue...
Joe ,   Los Angeles, CA   (10.11.07)
"And please, refrain from the crap about who started it and human shields - nobody in the world buys it anymore." The only people who "don't buy it anymore" are people like you, who call defeat victory and oppression peace. Not once have you ever responded to the questions I have asked you in these talkbacks. Not once have you ever justified anything that flies its way through your little fingertips onto your keyboard with cold, hard facts. Libneniyyeh, I would suggest using another alias when posting further talkbacks, because your refusal/inability to respond to my challenges has caused you to discredit yourself here.
25. peace...hahaha
Ali Jezzini ,   Nabatyeh   (10.11.07)
my dear ennemy , let me tell u that we are not whatsoever looking 4 what u called 'peace"....our peace will start after we destroy ur"isreal"as u well know and send each of u to hell or to the country where he came from....if not your third option will be Alaska.....hahahahha idiots...u can start coutningn days and your know that....
26. Don't give up hopes.
Damir ,   Russia   (10.11.07)
27. #23- No, Miss Libeniyyeh, I would be willing to bet........
Cameron ,   USA   (10.12.07)
a fair sum of money on the very high probability that going back to Lebanon is not in your future plans. Having already trainwrecked your country once with a civil war grubbing after power, you crapped on it yet again playing games baiting the Israelis. I have heard you are still trying to topple Lebanon into the dust by by becoming mere proxies & 'tools' for both the Syrians and the Persians. My rant may be 'stereotypical', but its also quite valid. Madam, the 21st century is upon you, and you & your co-religionists need to clean your act up and start acting worthy of it. Time and life will not reward a mindset still rooted in the Middle Ages.
28. Miss Libeniyyah
jack bauer   (10.12.07)
It's nice that you are being educated by other peoples money, but I wonder if all that "education" you received was worth it? You hoped the soldiers died slowly? And you claim the evil jooooos killed 1200 lebs? If the soldiers had not been kidnapped the war wouldnt have happened! In simple words you can understand.....If these boys hadn't been taken there would be 0 (that is zero) deaths in lebanon And I for one do NOT believe you when you say you will go back when your done with school. I have seen far too many people like you never go back, in fact most try and bring as many members of the extended family as humanly possible. Fact is one jew is worth hundreds if not thousands of moslem terrorists. This is proven every time there is a prisoner swap. Only this time there are simply releases.....meaning......? A few thousand phd holders = worth of 1 IDF soldier
29. All IDF should fight to the death rather then surrender
jack bauer   (10.12.07)
Because when olmert and co betray you, death comes either way. These cowards terrorist murderers should be flushed out of their caves and finished off once and for all. And when the UN or EU try and get in the way to help preserve these islamofacists they should be given due warning.....and then completly ignored
30. maybe a ploy to find out if they are dead or alive
zionist forever   (10.12.07)
This could be a ploy to find out if they really are alive or dead. So far hizbullah have been unwilling to release any information on their welfare to even the Red Cross and if they are still holding them then its obvious they want something in time but so far they havnt made any demands. Officialy say we think he is dead the terrorists who still want Israel to know they have soilders will at least give some kind of conformation. If they still say nothing then sadly the chances are they are dead and they will eventualy want to do a deal for corpses.
