31. #2 Lebonon doesnt anymore
dr ,   bakersfield   (08.06.08)
by aiding a terrorist group (Defined by the 250 seat UNITED NATIONS, EUROPEAN UNION, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY UNITED STATES) it has become a terrorist country itself. therefore all rules are out. just like afganistan supporting al-quieda. what happened there? how come they "didnt have the right to protect its sovereignty from the" US. by the way, including christians there are more zionists (belief that israel should exsists) in this world than not. get a life.

Robert Bernier   (08.06.08)
Will Lebanon find its way out of the grip of bigotry and terror? Across the Lebanon border, Israelis may have once found a culture not so distant from their own, with mercy, decorum and "rules of engagement" even in times of conflict. The Lebanese will have to retrieve that older world if they are to find their way out of the grip of bigotry and terror. A decent country would be under no moral or political obligation to celebrate a murderer as a heroic son returning from a long captivity. More about the reality of the M-E at
34. Use your spy satellites for intelligence.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (08.06.08)
If you aren't going to bomb these clowns.....then who needs to fly over them anyways? Establish missile systems pointed into Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. Tip the missiles with a cobalt thermonuclear weapons, with a 5 year radioactive lifespan. Let them know that the missiles are pointed into their country. Why put up with their religious crap anymore. If they attack.....send all the religious nuts to the depths of the grave. They only understand death, and worship it. Give them their wish. We let others know that they will be severely dealt with, from the United States, if they attack us. We have all sorts of different nuclear weapons at our disposal, just for nutty theocratic states like Iran and Syria. Our missiles are targeted to these locations. Even when they are not targeted....a simple computer stroke resets coordinates. With a cobalt tipped nuclear weapon....none of these Arabs or Persians will survive if they attack Israel. Play hardball. You can't survive underground for five years. Allah doesn't deliver pizza or Chinese. Unless they understand that no one will be left alive....they will keep shooting missiles at Israel. It's about time to do something back that gets everyones attention. If Europe and the United States aren't going to handle the problem.....then let everyone else know that the oil lines aren't going to stay open very long, once you have to retaliate. What do you think Iran is trying to do by putting this arsenal on your doorstep.....be your best friend? They are going to rocket your country until everyone wants to leave. Send them some very big reasons back, as to why this is not a very good idea. Let them know that you will use a nuclear device, if the weapons they are supplying, are used on Israeli's as a harrassment tool to expel Jews. You are at war to this day.....this war is ongoing....it has never stopped. They are repeating what Hitler did. Why put up with this horse manure any longer. They plan on bleeding you slow. Bleed them back. Rocket attack after rocket attack. That's your future. They are going to wear you down day afetr day. They are going to attack you every chance they can. Iran knows they aren't going to get hit back....Israel won't do it they say to themselves. If you aren't willing to send back the same message to Tehran.....you might as well move. They have a playbook planned for you. They are going to attack you day and night. If you don't drop the hammer on Iran......then you are totally screwed. You might as well pack your bags and figure out where you are going to hide. They don't plan on stopping any more than Hitler planned on stopping. What stopped it was many German deaths. Iran will need the same....as well as Lebanon and Syria.
35. 28# The plan form Iran is to shoot rockets, and more
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (08.06.08)
rockets. More missiles, and more missiles. More terrorist attacks, and more terrorist attacks. With this harrassment you wear down your opponent over long periods of time, until they leave in utter frustration at their circumstances. This is a very good gameplan by Iran. To counter this gameplan you don't go back to work like a good Jew. You don't follow the logical...... be a good Jew, and ignore the problem. You don't do what the Hitler Iranian backed Theocratic playbook expects. You do the unexpected. You blow up Iranian oil terminals in response. You blow up Iranian cities of importance. You attack Syrian and Lebanese interests with mutual force. You make life just as miserable for the instigators of your destruction. Jews that went back to work ended up in the gas chambers. Good Jews who made no waves and hoped the bad times would just go away. Sometimes you have to fight, and scratch, and crawl your way back to normality. Lots of your enemies who were intent on killing you....will have to suffer. This suffering will hopefully lead to a better understanding about how any animal ,or human, will try to survive, when Muslims or Germans, try to eradicate a race of people.The world stood idly by telling the Jews to just go to work. Forget about it. Everything will be okay. Horsecrap! The missiles in Lebanon....the missiles in Syria....the incessant rockets from Gaza....the Nukes being developed in Iran.............are all part of the master plan to get rid of the Jews again. I'm about tired of telling Jews to just go to work........when in several months time.....they will be getting rocketed.......a possible nuclear strike....and any other xenophobic idea Iran can come up with at their doorstep. Hitler conned a lot of Jews into believing they were morons too. Look where it got them.
36. New Israeli Tactic
Larryz ,   zefat israel   (08.06.08)
The new Israeli Tactic towards Enemies,Im warning you ,if you dont stop you will get another warning.Let this be the last time we warn you or you will receive more warnings ad infinitum.
37. Jake
PW Virginia USA   (08.06.08)
It would be good if you could read a little history of Muslim treatment of the Jews under its domination. Too many massacres to list...You are just another leftist-Judeaopath repeating the propaganda you cannot verify or won't. First question who crossed whose border and killed soldiers in 2006 first? Answer that and you can move on to the next question.....
38. Warn this.
Persian CAT   (08.06.08)
I wondering what Israel can do besides issuing warnings. Is Israel addicted to defeat and humiliation by the Hezb to the extent it needs its fix every couple of years? Hasn't Israel been defeated by the Hezb enough?
39. Israel defeated because of consideration
Franklin ,   Paris   (08.06.08)
for the so called Lebanese hostages and human shield ... Today Nassrah'madinejad is enlisting total Lebanon for a total war against Israel. Every threat, every provocation from Hezbollah is officialy uttered by the State of Lebanon.....with Syrian and Iranian background.
40. # 28 wishful thinking
Larry ,   zefat israel   (08.06.08)
Jake ,you say " The time has come for decent Jews to live their lives anywhere in the world without discrimination and malice" Ifonly that were really possible.The experience of generations shows that this was not always feasible,too much discrimination and malice towards us.That is why we are here.
41. Re: Jake #28
Larry G. ,   Hamilton, Canada   (08.07.08)
I need to make an apology to you Jake regarding my post #6, you haven't been duped by terrorists propaganda--you're one of those hateful anti-Semites that makes their own propaganda! You say and I quote, "As expected from any group of armed robbers, murderers, and land thieves, paranoia rules ." But you're not referring to Arabs and/or Islamic extremists, you're referring to Jews! And then you talk about the ordnance used by the IDF and amounts dropped like you're an expert! Why not also fabricate about the IDF using white phosphorus bombs as well, it was all the rage with propagandists like yourself back in 2006! These are the signs and symptoms of an extreme anti-Semite: uses the word Zionists to attack Jews as a group and refers to Israel as that Zionist state, comes off as an expert on religion in order to denigrate the Jews, does not know the Torah or the Talmud but continues to lambaste Jews based on fabricated quotes from Jewish texts that are found on-line at anti-Semitic websites that post totally made-up laws and claim it's from the Torah or the Talmud that make Jews sound like monsters, refers to Jews as murders or racists or supremacists and finally a person who deliberately spends his/her time reading on-line Jewish newspapers only in order to posts his/her hateful propaganda against Jews! Gee Jake...did I hit a nerve--ouch! Look it's you who is a supremacists and an uber Jew hater! Please don't come back here--I'm sick to death of people like you! All you do is keep deliberately stalking us wherever we meet to share ideas and then spout off your nauseating filthy propaganda on how sick, twisted and demented we all are! It's you who is sick, twisted and demented--now get lost! We add culture, medical research, technological innovation to the world and it's little people like you who are going nowhere that hate us! Only morons like you fail to see that!
42. #41 Larry
wildmandxb ,   dubai   (08.07.08)
Hey larry instead of your mass atack on Jake why don't you go live in Israel? The amount of Zionists living outside of israel replying to zionist haters is appalling, why don't you guys go to your promised land? Yes we love to refer to you as zionists and to israel as a zionist state and sure yes we hate you so much! do you even know the percentage of zionism haters in this world? it is HUGE! yeah , even plenty of my jewish friends are anti-zionist, meaning anti-israel TAMIR from LA! JAKE, peace to you man, you are great.
43. 38# They are reformulating their plans.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (08.07.08)
They will include more of Iran in them.......and less of Lebanon.
44. pr offensive .lebanon
sam ,   usa   (08.07.08)
pr offensive? only military offensive will do and olmert and his ilk will not do it. we know it, the arabs know it and so its time to roll out the heavy response THE FOUR MOTHERS. remember them? they will protect israel.
45. Hizbulla and Israel
Alawi Alkhabbaz ,   Bahrain   (08.07.08)
Please be assued that Hizbulla has morethan 40,000missiles maybe double. You do not know what Hizbulla owns of Missiles. I think you will go mad. In the second war the Israelis should say good bye to Tell Aviv. Please read the history dilligently and thoroughly. The Hizbulla are the sons of Immam Ai who attacked the jewsh fort in Khayber in Madinat, TheArabian Peninsula). Nasurllat is the son of Immam Ali you will see what will happend. Thehistory will return itself. Immam Ali thecusin of theprophet Mohamed hadkilled your leadersm like Marhab and demolished your fort nowthe Nasrulla the son willdo the same.
46. Bomb Lebanon into civil war
Mike ,   Canada   (08.08.08)
If they are fighting each other they are not fighting Israel.
47. bla,bla bla.......
oded   (08.08.08)
inthe movie "the good the bad and the ugly", eli walalch's charecter proclaimed: " if yo ugonna shoot ,shoot, don't talk!" with smartutmart still at the wheel, barach as defense, and a tizpor as a foreign, and a mofraz, as god only knows what, we are doomed!
48. Lebanon has every right to self defense!
Dave ,   L.A, California   (08.09.08)
Hezbollah is a major part of Lebanese society. Enough hypocracy and double standards. Israel has been violating Lebanese sovereignty for decades. If Israel has security concerns, so does Lebanon and so does Hezbollah.
49. reply to post #16
Dave ,   L.A, California   (08.09.08)
I think you are confused. Qassams enter Israeli airspace on the southern, not the northern front. Hezbollah missiles hit Israel during the war. Israel violates Lebanese airspace on a daily basis. If someone is suffering from a comical myopia, it must be you pal!
50. Dave - do you smoke weed?
Alexander ,   Herzliya, Israel   (08.09.08)
How many Israeli soldiers are currently present in Lebanon? Zero. And who violated international law by trespassing on another sovereign state's territory? Lebanon did, when it kidnapped Israeli soldiers on ISRAELI soil. How many times has Israel expressed a desire to occupy or oppress Lebanon? Zero. Israel entered Lebanon in the 1970s and the 1980s because PLO thugs fired mortars and rockets across the Lebanese-Israeli border into Israel. PLO also carried out kidnappings inside Israel and attacked Israeli civilians - inside Israel. And if you read the creed and politics of PLO, Hamas, Hizbollah, Al Qaida and so on, their goal is the complete destruction of world Jewry. And you expect Israel, in ligth of these facts, to be passive and let itself be bombed by Islamists and genocidal maniacs? Your comparison between Israeli safety and security concerns with Lebanese "safety" and "security" concerns is ridiculous and hypocritical, as Israel seeks no conflict and no war, holds no Lebanese territory. Israel is infinitely stronger than Lebanon and could easily wipe Lebanon of the face of the earth, yet chooses not to. Sheba Farms belongs to Syria, which Syria refuses to obtain as a further pretext to fight Israel by claiming Sheba Farms is "Lebanese territory". You can't make comparisons between safety and security concerns of France, UK and USA on one hand, and Germany on the other hand during WW2 as Germany was the aggressor and the cause of the war and the conflict. If Lebanon would not harbour terrorists, accept Israel as a sovereign and independent Jewish/Israeli ethnic nation state with full national, human, natural and citizenship rights and aims no weapons at Israel, and supports no terrorists against Israel and democratize Lebanon, apologizes to israel and compensates Israel - then there will be peace. Not before.
51. 2nd response to Dave
Alexander ,   Herzliya, Israel   (08.09.08)
Israel violates Lebanese airspace? And what about Lebanon violating Israeli territory in terror attacks in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and as recently as 2006? Why shouldn't Israel violate Lebanese airspace when the Lebanese government supports Hizbollah that wants Israel dead and buried? USA, UK and the USSR violated German airspace during WW2, but they had a reason: Germany was an aggressor. Israel has a reason too: Lebanon is an aggressor. Lebanon masses new weapons, Hizbollah is getting stronger and wants to fire more rockets and missiles at Israel. Lebanon doesn't accept Israel's right top exist! As Israel is not suicidal - Israel will defend itself against terrorists and as the Lebanese government officially supports a terrorist organization - Hizbollah - that is openly and explicitly dedicated to Israel's destruction and the world Jewry's destruction, Israel has every right to flatten that god forsaken country with the ground.
