Nevermind. :)
2. Overblown because Arabs as our 5th column is no longer news
Dani ,   Tel Aviv   (01.09.06)
It happens all the time.
3. The damage is done
Anoosh   (01.09.06)
Iran has already announced the arrest of a Mossad "agent" as I had predicted.. Everything Israel says about iran is a lie, or overblown rumors. The Israeli establishment having been defeated in Lebanon and Palestine is confused and scared.
4. Damage Done? Only to arabs
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS USA   (01.09.06)
Poor Anoosh. Lives in a fantasy world. Must be all that Hashish in the water pipe. Israeli establishment defeated? By whom? Certainly not the Arabs. The Arabs can't even seem to defeat their own people. Look at the facts: Iran is on the verge of a ciil war as the youth have had enough of the tyrannical imam despotism where children as young as 5 can be killed for the betterment of the religion; Lebanon which continues to live under the terror seige of Syria; the Palestinians who continue to survive under the anarchy called PA rule; Shiites killing Sunnis, Sunnis killing Shiites; Muslim homicide bombers killing without any consideration to religion, race, age or gender. Defeated? Only the Arabs are being defeated - and mostly at their own hands. But Allah is laughing - look what he did to the "Pilgrims" at his own Haj!
5. arabs defeat
David ,   london, UK   (01.09.06)
Yes Christopher the Arabs cannot even defeat their own people, that is why Israel left Lebanon with the tail between the legs, confused and scared...By the way it is a bunch of Arabs that are defeating the US army, the most sophisticated army in the world, in Iraq. Quite an embarrasment, ain't it ???
6. The Ummah #5

Dream on. Israel has not "taken the gloves off" since 1982, the last time it rolled over your "invincible military might." The difference between Hizballah / Hamas and Israel is that if Hizballah / Hamas had Israel's military superiority, they would use it to massacre every non-Muslim in Israel, whereas Israel constrains its own responses and tries to kill as few people as possible while arresting or eliminating one or two known terrorists. Let's see the UK take Israel's approach in Iraq, hey? But in any case, you failed to respond to Christopher's point. The Ummah is a mess, with Muslims murdering each other and non-Muslims. Instead of worrying about Israel, which kills only those who attack it, maybe you'd better worry about Zarqawi, who would like to murder everyone who is unfortunate enough to be a Shiite, and who has killed many times more Muslims THIS YEAR ALONE than Israel has in 5 years of intifadah.
7. the ummah (howard)
david ,   london, uk   (01.10.06)
Israel used what you call its invincible military might to bomb and commit any possible carnage in Lebanon in 82 and 83. That included bombing apartment buildings with more than 100 people in them, something that not even Hamas or Hizbullah have done. It also used white phosporus and other illegal weapons as recognized by all international conventions on the issue. All is widely documented. Let us remember the massacre in Qana also, from 1996, where 180 people were killed as Israel bombed the UN Qana compound. As for Israel not taking the gloves off, let me remind you that it was Hezbollah's guerrilla operations, to which Israel had no military response, in the same way that the Americans have no military response in Iraq, that drove Israel away as it could not longer sustain the continuous death of life there. I do not have to respond to the state of the Ummah as I am not a Muslim. Do not have to defend the actions of the UK gvt as I was the first one to protest against the illegal war in Iraq. Of course Israel can wipe out anybody of the map, that's why it has nuclear weapons, so can the other 7 or 8 nuclear powers, including Pakistan by the way, but as you can see Israel's purity of arms and its great compassion and benevolence is just a myth. It is you who can keep your eyes shut and dream on...
8. Dear David
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS USA   (01.10.06)
Like the French, the Brits haven't been able to win a war without a US rescue in over a century. The Iraqi war will be won, in fact it already is - an elected government;Saddam (who apparently is idolized by you) on trial for his life; The Kurds in the North gaining and expanding their freedoms and economy. But to view that would obviously fly in the face of the Al Jazeera news you hold so dear. As for Israel leaving Lebanon with "its tail between its legs?" all I see is anarchy has taken over Lebanon since Israel withdrew. Drug fields prosper; Syrians still control the country if you can call it that; Muslim terrorists fighting each other for control and murdering innocent Christians along the way. But it has become very common almost farcical, the way the Brits and the French respond to terror. Eurabia has already surrendered to the forces of evil the civilized world calls Islam, the way the French surrendered to the Nazis in 1939. Americans and Israelis are not so apt to surrender to the murderers. I can presume you have already been forced to burn your bible and buy the Quran. HAve you started your Arabic speed reading course yet - you know the one - where every other sentence is "I can kill because the Quran allows me to in Allah's name!"

I am not here to debate the mess the Arabs and the Muslims are in, because you’ll win that one. But I am here to tell you that the Zionists are not in any better shape either. Israel is experiencing diminishing standard of living. It sure cannot survive by selling kiwis and avocados, grown on land stolen from Arabs, in the EU markets. Israel is living on the hand outs and the tax money paid by the hard working American people. If you don't believe me go to Israel and see the conditions of the poor people, the homeless and the underclass for yourself. I think it'd do you good to get out some time and let some good air flow on the pacific coast. .
10. Kahane was right, so very, very right.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (01.10.06)
Yeah, I know you are forbidden to say anthing nice about the most realistic rabbi Israel has seen in 50 years, and you don't want the shin bet on your ass, but arabs in Israel are nothing but a fifth column.

Just wanted to remind you that Iranians are not Arabs. You can merge us all as muslim nations, but not as arabs. Thanks,
