Israel created Hizbullah, Hizbullah strikes back at Israel with the help of friends.. Oh just grow up Israel, return the occupied lands and peace will prevail...
32. It must be Friday May 28 anual day pass for Peters

33. Giant Islamist-Jihadist Missiles pointed at Israel
Brod ,   USA   (05.28.10)
The Islamist-Jihadist states in the region clearly intent to achieve their common Charter of destroying Israel with their Giant Missiles which they acquired from their suppliers-namely, Russia, China and N. Korea. Israel would need to identify their suppliers-the sources or origin of these Giant Missiles. In return, those supplier countries should be targeted by Israel's Giant Missiles. There is NO difference between those Islamist-Jihadist belligerent states in the region and their supplier-countries in their evil goal of annihilating Israel. In the event that those Islamist-Jihadist belligerent countries like Iran, Syria and Lebanon/Hezbollahtan unleash their Giant Missiles against Israel's cities and population centers, Israel should nuke them without any qualms. Nuking is the ultimate deterrence should any belligerent states dare to attack Israel with their Giant Missiles. And if the supplier states have any brains, they should stop selling Giant Missiles or any missiles to the Islamist-Jihadist belligerent states in the volatile region of the world. Nor should they be exporting those kinds of weaponry to any other countries.
34. Israel relied on US to halt arms transfers? stupid
dante ,   uk   (05.28.10)
the US administration have deluded themselves into thinking that assad or ahmedinnerjacket listen to them. that Israel could have called off an attack in reliance upon the efficacy of some American initiative is all too believable but ridiculous. the Americans admin have committed themselves to retreat and resignation, not leadership and power.
35. #33
Resistor   (05.28.10)
Israel take on China????? Ho ho ho ho ho! What are you smoking Brod? So so funny!
36. Israel has better spies and anti-radar tech, is that enough?
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (05.28.10)
Israeli spies maybe the main key to Israel's success with high tech anti-radar systems to keep their planes safe. Russia only exports their older equipment, while the US gives or helps Israel build the latest. Iran has changed the game some what by obtaining and delivering newer tech from N. Korea/China. Israel is only about 5yrs ahead of the Arabs, if they get access to newer tech weapons and Israel would be hard pressed if forced to fight a long ground war, winning major wars quickly is a must.
37. Resistor #35
Brod ,   USA   (05.28.10)
What is your argument? It does not matter the size of the country that endangers Israel's existence. Any country that is involved in supplying the tools of Armageddon to belligerent states that are trying to destroy Israel, should not be immune from their own pie. Israel should give them a taste of their own pie.
38. Israel has yet to provide a single proof
Anonymous ,   TX, USA   (05.28.10)
Israel accusses, and issues report after report of scud missiles transfer to Lebanon. Excuse me for not being naive, but Israel's drones & air force is surveilling the Lebanese-Syrian border day and night, 24/7 non-stop for the purpose of monitoring any suspected arms smuggle to Hizbullah. I find it hard to beleive that numerous 30 ft long x 3 ft wide misssiles can cross the border without the Israeli having it in on video them on video and exposing it to the International community as a demostration of Hizbullah's non-compliance with 1701. The era where wars are justified by mere journalist reports or by simple intelligence agencies "we say so" statements have ended...People demand proof...tangible, undeniable proof before supporting any military agression. There won't be another Iraqi WMD spoof.
39. #2 - "illegal chemical bombs"?
William ,   Israel   (05.28.10)
You mean the phosphorous bombs that produce light for night operations, which is not only legal, but was deemed legal by both the UN and ICRC upon investigations after Cast Lead? Rachel Corrie was a twit, She went up against a bulldozer with limited vision. Even her ISM friends admitted it was a horrendous mistake as the "IDF always stopped before". You didn't seem to admit what Nasrallah did - that Hizbullah placed its bunkers and weapons inside major civilian centers and made them off-limits to LAF and UN personnel. Remember the Geneva Convention - use a civilian site to make war, civil site loses protection.
40. #12 - half your buildings came down because of Hamas
William ,   Israel   (05.28.10)
Let's keep in mind, Honey, that the portion of Gaza involved in Cast Lead operations was very small from the overall land mass of Gaza. Let's also keep in mind, and again, you said let's be unbiased, that Hamas planted many extremely powerful IEDs in residential neighborhoods and they heavily damaged quite a few of the buildings. Not to mention, the use of civilians as cover for rockets and sniper operations, like NEXT TO a UN School. While you ilk may think that Cast Lead was horrible, most Westerners agreed it was extremely subdued compared to the IDF's capabilities, AND military leaders in other countries saw the reason and value in the IDF tactical operations, and study it today. I believe it was a UK Commander in NATO that supported IDF in Cast Lead...while you have, Chomsky and Nasrallah as supporters???
41. #19 - Hamas lost its mandate in 2007
William ,   Israel   (05.28.10)
Per PLO laws, the President has the right to dissolve Parliament for a number of reasons. Hamas might have won the election in 2005 but they lost the mandate in 2007 when they launched a bloody coup, and since are not any official ruling body. To claim otherwise is to steal away from the "Palestinians" the right of their own laws, no? If, infact, Gaza and WB are under brutal occupation, why aren't "Palestinians" hiding in their homes 24/7? Why can they travel into Israel for work without being shot? Why do kids in Nablus jump on IDF vehicles without fear? NO, only Gaza is under brutal occupation....of Islamists - who burn down Internet cafes, beat up wedding attendees, throw non-Hamas people off rooftops, shell industrial parks and put even more Gazans out of work, etc.
42. #20 - no such thing as "phosphorus-packed cluster bombs"
William ,   Israel   (05.28.10)
Try again, Doc.
43. #30 - Osirik comes to mind as being non-US approved
William ,   Israel   (05.28.10)
Again...when we see fit, we will act.
44. #26 - Israel does not have access to any US weapon
William ,   Israel   (05.28.10)
As we can see with the months-long wrangling over the F-35. When Israel can't get it, Israel will create it itself. However, one thing is always true - Israel uses its weapons for defense, Arabs for attacking. By your logic, all criminals should have guns because the police do. Glad I don't live in your world.
45. #26 - Definition of a "defensive weapon like S-300"
William ,   Israel   (05.28.10)
If one launches an attack on a neighbor and expects a response through an attack, a weapon like the S-300 loses its definition as defensive when used in offensive strategy. Like beating a person with a pipe, but shooting him after he attacks you claiming "it was in self-defense". Nice try.
46. peter u r to emotional
samuel ,   dk   (05.28.10)
knock it off, sound like those moran activists on those ships that have a lots of usorted child issues.
47. #38 - Hizbullah admitted to it 3 days after accusation
William ,   Israel   (05.29.10)
and after they initially denied it. Is that enough "proof" for ya?
48. To Matty #18
Israeli ,   U.S.A./ Israel   (05.30.10)
Matty Grover You do not see the end yet... Do not forget their is God,,,, Obama blessing ... i do not thing we need Israel have a blessing of God....
