1. 1000 eyes for one eye
Avi ,   USA   (07.24.12)
Israel should bomb and kill 1000 Shiite civilians in lebanon for every israeli killed. Only when the price for Nasrallah is too high will he back down. If Jews continue to play this western Human rights BS then we will become the endangered species. An eye for an eye is the only thing these racist arabs have ever understood.
2. Nasrallah complexes
Jusanz77 ,   Vzla.   (07.24.12)
"We have discovered how to hit the Jews Where They are the most vulnerable." Nasrallah has discovered complex, each time discovering something new. But has not yet discovered how to take sunlight without living in fear of a missile of Israel tan skin.
3. Excellent opinion piece
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.24.12)
It is time to take the fight to Nasrallah, and teach that bunker rat that Jewish life is not cheap. If it is martyrdom and jihad he seeks, let's give him a little taste. He is adept at offering up others to be shahids, somewhat more reluctant to take on the burden himself. The quintessential coward or, as they say in the American vernacular, seized of an alligator mouth and a hummingbird ass. One would think that 2006 would have cured him of his fantasies, but it appears it did not. So, one more time -- and this time, to hell with collateral damage.
4. More than you realize
Julie ,   Australia   (07.24.12)
"But it would be more foolish still to think that the Jewish people can turn to anyone but the Jewish State to defend them. " For what it's worth, I care. You have a mighty God & Saviour who loves you. You are His chosen people and your history is rich with evidence of that. There are many, many people who support and pray for Israel. You would be very surprised just how important you are to so many of us. Believe me, we care and are watching with great concern at the sabre rattling and violence that is directed at you. I know you have been let down so many times before and for that I want to say I'm deeply, deeply sorry and would hope that our governments would have the decency to intervene if Israel should ever need our help.
5. Great column!
Zvi   (07.24.12)
6. Double Mitzva!!
Moshe ,   Raanana, Israel   (07.24.12)
So every time we are condemned for killing the thugs before they kill us, let's remind the world that we are doing a double Mitzva. Preserving life that is so dear to us, and giving them the death that they love so much!!
7. #1 even with your formula they still win
tea man ,   marjayoun   (07.24.12)
but the writer is lost in translation when he translate the quotes one fact Hizbo never attack civilian target while he can in all the 18 year of war with lebanon
8. @ #1
David ,   San Francisco   (07.24.12)
So an unknown group kills 5 Israeli's and you think killing 1,000 civilians is a normal response? Eye for an eye? That is called a full blown massacre. But of course, Israel knows much about those- Deir Yassin and Lydda massacre ring a bell? Massacres and terror are what led to Israel's creation. Hopefully one day there will be one state with equal rights for Arabs and Jews.
9. Almost true
Alan G. ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.24.12)
Except for "But it would be more foolish still to think that the Jewish people can turn to anyone but the Jewish State to defend them." Our "leaders" seem like spineless, self-serving cowards most of the time. The only thing I would trust them with is to keep on screwing the people, lining their pockets and playing politics. The ideal of a "Jewish State" is nice, but these days its more like a place to concentrate targets for annihilation by the Muslims from within and outside. Jewish blood in the Jewish state is far too cheap. The Muslim masses should be frightened out of their minds to *dare* think about hurting Jews. Until that time they will either passively or actively support the Jihadis. Bottom line; if u have the means, move to the US and hire a bodyguard or two - u will be far safer than in any "Jewish" state.
10. Well said #1 Avi
Sarah B (No not her)   (07.24.12)
Safe and sound in the United States. I for one salute your bravery in calling for way whilst being so far away. I presume you are currently organising your trip so you to can join my Son on the frontline? Or are you another armchair general calling for the deaths of other in the sure knowledge that you will be knowhere near when the action starts?
11. How to change the Burgas tragedy into a positive development
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (07.24.12)
The five martyrs rest in israeli land, their families are sitting "shuvet" and mourning for a month. But every jewish family must - in the mirror of the tragedy - rethink how many children will they have in the future. Jews were murdered in the past, are murdered in the present and will be murered in the future as well. A logic respond is to raise an extra child for every jewish couples, expecting a possible loss of life by antisemite murders. That must be the real answer for them. If 10% of israeli families will have plus one child, it would mean an 10 000 increase in the number of births. What if the Government of Israel should support this idea ?
12. So sad that.....
tiki ,   belgium   (07.24.12)
The writer is 1000% right with every word he wrote. It's about time that the Greens, the Reds, the Islamists apaisers, the HR- idiots & the Catherine Ashtons of this world will read the book of Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders "MARKED FOR DEATH, Islam's war against the West & Me." (they can do it in secret). It might be the eye-opener they need! Israel might be the first goal of the fanatical Islamists, but sure as hell it's not the last!
13. #7, Tell that to the residents of Kiryat Shmona, Metulla,
Jake   (07.24.12)
Zar'it, Shtula, Nahariya, Haifa... The list goes on. Been adding some hallucinogenics to your tea?
14. Nasrallah
Mark ,   Pasadena, USA   (07.24.12)
As soon as Assad is gone, Nasrallah will be peering out of his rat hole looking for a new place of refuge. Someone will have a drone missile aimed at his head and he will be history. The Lebanese are already fedup with Hezbollah nonsense. They cannot feed the people, keep the lights on, or water flowing. Today's news from Iran is about the citizens spending 14 hours in food ration lines. Time to keep the squeeze on these bottom dweller countries until they collapse.
15. Date and death
reader ,   Israel   (07.24.12)
Nasrallah didn't change ,he said that, but not today. It is not wrong to indicate when he said this, dear writer
16. To: No. 8
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.24.12)
You need to check your facts on both Lydda and Deir Yassin. You clearly have fallen victim to Arab propaganda. Are you under the impression that Arabs in Israel do not enjoy equal rights? Oh, they do. Of course, they do not enjoy equal obligations -- military service, for one thing -- but you clearly choose to overlook inconvenient facts. That said -- how many missiles did Afghani and Iraqi terrorists fire into civilian centers in the United States to have warranted the harsh carpet bombing that the United States inflicted, killing millions. Perhaps you should clean up your own house before worrying about Israel's.
17. To: No. 7
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.24.12)
I believe the good citizens of Kiryat Shemona and other northern towns and villages, as well as kibbutzim and moshavim near the Lebanese border would disagree with your ridiculous statement.
18. #7 Did you sleep through 2006 war?
Cynthia ,   USA   (07.24.12)
Hezbollah fired 200-300 katysha rockets per day at civilian targets in Northern Israel.
19. Stop the hysteria
Sidney ,   USA   (07.24.12)
Terror events are disturbing and I do not minimize them. However you would have to go back many centuries to find a time when Jews were safer than today. The odds on being killed by an Islamic terrorist are higher if you are a Muslim than a Jew. Here is today's headline from Iraq "9 Killed in Attacks After Deadly Iraq Day"
20. Do not disappoint.
Michael Pielet ,   Israel   (07.24.12)
Give them what they want. Death
21. I have always wondered whose final
Israeli 2   (07.24.12)
decision it is for the great Israeli Mosad to carry out a mission. If it is the Mosad's decision, and we have people like Dagan, I understand why they have not anihilated this rat. If it is the Prime Minister, ONLY Messiah will safe us all.
22. that's what haman said b4 they hung him!
(07.24.12)
23. Nukes can give them all the death they could ever want.
mick ,   USA   (07.24.12)
There wouldn't be any terrorism after a few megatons of reality therapy. They would rapidly learn to love life, as the the reality of Israel's death dealing potential would be very clear.
24. so, where is the outrage....
les ,   canada   (07.24.12)
of the UNHRA, THE UN, THE EU etc? would the quiet be so defenning if it was catholics, buddists, protestants at al. were substituted for jews? not even hitler did openly advertised what he actually did. the deranged, barbaric subhuman should be silenced once and for all!!!
25. Why not test a bunker buster?
Beary White ,   Norway   (07.24.12)
N-asss-ralla should then have difficulties to get voiced...
26. I agree with this article so much that I could have

written it.
27. selfhating jews -wake up call

I fully agree with your view
28. Why is this animal Nasrallah alive
k ,   US   (07.25.12)
