61. It would explain the quiet on the northern border ...
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (02.19.10)
I feel safe myself when i read this. When Israel is safe - the world is safe.
62. The tide has turned, I'm having fun.
Jozef ,   Canada   (02.19.10)
I love the fact that Israel is flexing its muscle. The arabs are chattering and the tougher they talk, the more frightened they are. Yaniv # 21 is exactly right! The arabs will never learn. Ater each and EVERY conflict with Israel the arabs are worse off than before they started the fight. Gotta love the Double Standard. America hunting and killing talibans is good. Israel hunting and killing hamas terrorists is no good. Finallyt. Every time Israel leaves one arab standing, he will jump up , and among the destruction an ruin, he will declare another arqb victory. In the next conflict Israel must demand total surrender. UN resolution or not!
63. #30, I wouldn't agree more
maria ,   toronto, Canada   (02.19.10)
I can clearly see how Israel is digging it's grave by it's leaders hands. In 2006 when Israel was too weak to attack Iran, they were pushed by the US to attack lebanon to teach this small country a lesson can be heard beyond their borders, but for their surprise -and their failed intelligence- the small army of Hizbllah manage to keep Israel inside it's borders for 34 days, and even the last attack in the last 2 days where Israel pushed huge amount of troops inside few meters of lebanon we saw what was called then the Mercava Massacre, which was a land mark of how Israeli army was destroyed. In 2009, when Israel couldn't attack Hizbllah because they are too strong for them, they attack Hamas and poor Gaza civilians, and once again, for 2 and a half weeks, they couldn't really score a clear victory, even their opponent is much weaker, and cornered in much smaller piece of land. That was then, but now, in 2010, when Nassralah says he can destroy larger parts of cities in Israel, and made the new roles, and eye for an eye, Building for buildings, airport for airports, power station for power stations.. what is the response from Israel? the response is what GUY said in this article, which is a ballon nothing else, nothing inside it but air, how can any normal person take what this Guys says seriously? and what army training is he talking about if none of the Israeli soldiers is ready to die in south lebanon? if Hizballah got what they say they got- and who knows what they got and they are not talking about- then all of you speakers here will be in serious trouble, except the ones who talk from overseas, these will be happy to see another war, more destruction and blood, but really don't care who will win or who will lose.
64. Israel put Najav airport ready!!
marcel laurent ,   montreal, Canada   (02.19.10)
In case Ben Gurion airport will be bombed.. this alone will answer Guy's article. Guy Bechor is playing Iraq's Sahaf role right now, don't worry, don't worry, we are strong... and when the shit will hit the fan who knows where he will be hiding? poor Naive people like many here are the one who will be most disappointed. Just hope I won't be see many of you in Canada hiding, talking tough, and hide when it matters.
65. #56 it is good that you know your Arab tyrants
better observer   (02.19.10)
otherwise you don't know and comprehend much about the Middle East
66. #59 Hezbollah more concerned about losing houses than people
Sam ,   Canada   (02.19.10)
Yes, it certainly appears that Hezbollah leaders don't mind sacrificing their people for a lost cause. The possibility of losing a house paralyzes them.
67. Mike Sailor, I so wish you were wrong, but you're not...
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (02.19.10)
...Bradley Burston pointed it out today, Israel is destroying itself. Of course, many of use have written this for years, but coming from Bradley and uncensored it is a revelation that many Israelis know is true. Fortress Israel faces the inevitability that all warlike colonial powers eventually face; a severe over-reaching that leads to the ultimate downfall. Let's just hope that the wingnuts don't take out too many innocents before the fall.
68. So true!
TheWhiteDragons ,   Montreal, QC, Canada   (02.19.10)
In other words, don't ef with Israel. Nasrallah is acting like a little girl while Assad is just a chnun. Ahmadinejad doesn't know what he's asking for and the rest can just wait and see what will happen.
69. Hey Moderate Jew-There already 6 Milln moderate Jews buriede

70. "superman" Israel?
Morsi   (02.19.10)
Who do you think you really are? You should stop that kind of hallucinations. No body fear you. You look really to believe in your lies. Some sunny day , you will wake up and discover that you are in a boat to Poland, Etheopia and Russia where you really belong to. Long live Palestine and shame on people like
71. #58, chilem, chill out
Sidney ,   USA   (02.19.10)
When David opposed Goliath, who had the high tech, the missile of its day? As for who has more courage, read the histories of the Israeli War of Independence and the Six Day War. Nasser boasted that he would wipe out Israel with his superior numbers, etc.
72. jews are arabs
chilem ,   arlington,usa   (02.19.10)
its funny that all the ppl over there are arabs except the jews but when i see u israelis excpet for the european fakers u guys look like arafats cousin and mashaals brother. if jews arent arabs then the earth is not round
73. Give me a break! Muslims are just planning their next move.
sk ,   USA   (02.19.10)
The Jews of Israel will not be taken seriously until all concentrations of Islam (including on the Temple Mount) are removed, and when there are no "Israeli Arab" towns that Jews cannot walk safely through. Right now, the Israelis are dhimmis to Islam. They are "rebellious" dhimmis, but dhimmis indeed.
74. The Writer Is Delusional
World Citizen ,   the world   (02.19.10)
If the entire civilised world, and I'm including the Arab Middle East in that statement , is scared of Israel it is because you Israelis don't understand just how close you are to starting WW3. Your delusions of grandeur are making us nervous. Even the Americans are worried about your leadership and recent idiotic activities. As a matter of fact, all those American ships in the Gulf are not there to attack Iran. They are there to stop Israel from attacking Iran. That's right. They are there to shoot down Israeli aircraft and sink Israeli submarines should the need arise. They are there to stop something that might involve the Russians and Chinese. That American long range radar station set up out in the Negev is not only watching the Iranians. It is watching every IAF plane that takes off and lands. And the American and Russian navies know every move of every Israel ship on and below the surface. So the bravado of this ynet writer is way off the mark. Normal people don't tolerate mad dogs or crazy Israelis. Don't go starting something you will regret. You might find that you're not as powerful as you think you are.
75. Good!
Michael ,   San Francisco   (02.19.10)
Israel needs to be tough as nails in order to survive. And the world needs to understand that they do not have some special God-given dispensation to kill Jews without retribution. Stand tall, Israel. Stand strong.
76. You'll know Israel is back when we...
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.19.10)
Until the Oslo Disaster, Israel was widely respected, by friends and foes alike, as a gutsy little nation. Former PM Golda Meir laid it on the line clearly by warning our enemies, "Whoever attacks Israel shouldn't be surprised if Israel strikes back seven times as hard". That is what Israel did and what the world expected Israel to do. All that disastrously changed with Oslo and the fraudulent "peace process". Hopefully we are on our way back from the darkness. You'll know Israel is really back when we destroy Iran's nukes, clearly reject the monstrous Two State Final Solution, massively settle Judea and Samaria and promptly execute captured terrorists.
77. Why you sound sour as Hell, World Citizen
Cameron ,   USA   (02.19.10)
78. Best Article I've Ever Read On YNET
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (02.19.10)
79. #12 reader
Hal ,   Usa   (02.19.10)
Your thoughts are delluded at best. Some help you are, blathering from Brooklyn. Not selling many pizzas lately? The Arab world has been working on this for some time and the results are abysmal. Maybe you can go back to your Arab country of origin and show them how to do it. Good luck with that putz.
80. #16 Salma
Hal ,   Usa   (02.19.10)
Things must be pretty bleak in the Palestinian Entity if you are geting a moral boost from the worlds fattest terrorist. Running your mouth does not constitute body language. The only time Fat Boy opens his mouth is to either change feet or shove down more humus. Salma, you need to study english from a native speaker other than Marco from Spain.
81. #71 sidney, read more
chilem ,   arlington,usa   (02.19.10)
sidney r u telling me that israel fought the six day war without any help, get off the oxycoton aight. and lets look at history then u were fighting arab states that were corrupt(still have these corrupt govt. today) but now the zionist are fighting those directly affected by the occupation not some third party country. and ur thoughts on david having a modern day missle is stupid. the david vs. goliath concept is about will and heart going up against incredible odds. u can spout off what u want but the pals will win in the end just like ho chi minh and the freedom fighting vietmen did against the biggest bully on the block(ur usa). so u should read more and then analyze the situation, but u r an american so maybe they have a movie u a can watch lol
82. #72 Americans are latinos as they dominate the W. hemisphere
Yaniv ,   Israel   (02.19.10)
Same stupid comment. You mustr be an Arab, because many Arabs say also think they own the middle east, even though also Persians, Druze, Kurds, Assyrians, Syriacs, Berbers, Marinites, Copts, Jews live here. I guess the Earth is flat in your eyes.
83. #20 Nimrod
Hal ,   Usa   (02.19.10)
Glad to see your posts from Bagdad. Hope your country recovers soon from all the war and destruction. You guys have a unique opportunity in the Arab world to craft a modern democratic state that respects it's citizens rights. Fear is a tool used by dictators that fear fre people. Keep bitching even when it gets better to keep them honest. Freedom does not come without some pain, but it is better by far than Sadaam and his wicked ways. Good luck and G-d bless!
84. israel more concerned about money than life
chilem ,   arlington,usa   (02.19.10)
who rebuilt lebanon, who sheltered the ppl when the bombs started too fall, what u fools fail to realize is that hezbolla is apart of lebanon society they arent foriegn mercinarries. but israel is nothing without american military aid. i'm going to start calling israel the new south vietnam cuz israel would disappear if the usa would stop the aid. u punks fight lil kids who have rocks with ur tanks and u think u got heart lol. a blind man can see whose the hitler and whose the jew in this m.e. conflict
85. this is just talk: do something: make a move
chilem ,   arlington,usa   (02.19.10)
this is ego talk at its finest. where i'm from u dont talk about it u be about it. now israel do something make a move on lebanon and watch ur kids getted treated for shock lol. u guys are straight suckas i could talk mad b.s. if i was in a tank too, but trying holding up for ur words with nothing but a rock or a ak47 against a tank. its funny to hear u guys talk but i want to see ya'll do something; make a move and dont cry when u cant go to work cuz ur in a bunker
86. eyes dont lie, u just mad cuz u hate ur arab blood
chilem ,   arlington,usa   (02.19.10)
jews are semites, palestinians are semites. if u cant see that ya'll are one ppl then thats ur curse, but everytime i run into a jew he has to tell me that he's a jew otherwise he looks like arab. the fact that u responded the way u did shows me u know but u just hate urself. as if jews are a ppl, its a religion, matter of fact abraham is from iraq, so there goes ur homeland
87. #30 Marcellaurent
Hal ,   Usa   (02.19.10)
Marcel, you really need to leave that evil rot gut whiskey alone. It is making you dellusional and paranoid. Each post is more bizare than the last. Your hero, " The Fattest Terrorist on Earth" strikes fear in the local felafel vendors only! If and when a war breaks out, Guy Bechor will be in Israel and Fat Ass will be in an undisclosed hole jabbering about the cut off of his humus. Get a life putz!
88. stupid acts, stupid message
observer   (02.19.10)
in 1973, Both the Israeli and Mohamed ejected close to each other. The farmers on the ground almost killed the Israeli pilot, but Mohamed saved him – the Israeli went to hospital and survived. In fact the Phantom pilot had a visitor the next day, it was Mohamed Adoub. In the mean the IDF spokesman was threatening the villagers: "the arm of the IDF can reach anyone, anyplace". I assure you that has he best impact which skyrocketed the spirit of the people in Egypt. nothing could boast the endurance of hardship by Home the Front more than that.
89. #81 Read more truth, rather than junk
Yaniv ,   Israel   (02.19.10)
What help are you talking about? The first two major wars, Israel won without any military aid. Historians say that the Arabs lost because of tactical and strategic failure, not logistical failure. We were out-gunned, out-manned and it's nothing short of a miracle that we came out victorious. Since you act like an academic snob, perhaps you should do some reading about the Davidka and perhaps you will get an inkling about what makes the Jewish people tick. Also the Six Day War, we could not afford to miss our targets, as we were short on ammunition. Every Egyptian airbase was targeted with ONE bomb on the airstrip and for the aircrafts. Missing the target was not an option. Stop being arrogant and act like a know-it-all when you don't even master understanding the basics. The Pals are today and were originally political pawns, the war is with the globalist Islamic fanatics. And Israel is just one front (perhaps the most important) in a wide-scale war on the West. What's happening in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Europe is no different than the attacks on Israel. The Islamic empire is looking to dominate the world. That's a fact. So read less junk and observe a little bit more.
90. :: ‘Crazy’ Israel
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (02.19.10)
This article reminds me of a quote from Moshe Dayan: "Israel must be like a mad dog - too dangerous to bother." You see the thing with ‘mad dogs’ is that they are unwanted, unloved and generally get put down as they are a danger to the general population. Israel has rejected peace with the Arab nations in the ME as it has turned its nose up at the Arab Peace Initiative. Israel has formulated no alternative peace initiative and seems incapable of doing so. Should Israel continue to act like a ‘mad dog’ and reject peace at every turn there is little hope that it will continue to exist. Which will be a pity really as Israel use to have potential, shame that it has squandered so much and become among one of the worst brand names on this planet.
