1. whoever did this is not a friend of lebanon
howard ,   pacific coast, usa   (05.28.06)
Hizballah, PFLP, al Qaeda or whoever -- they are not friends of the Lebanese people if they stir up trouble where none existed, by rocketing neighboring countries. The Lebanese army needs to control southern Lebanon, so that Syrian and Iranian agents -- who want to create trouble for Lebanon to justify the continued occupation of Lebanese soil by Syrian proxies like Hizballah and the PFLP -- do not succeed. If the Lebanese army refuses to control southern Lebanon, then make no mistake -- the Lebanese are giving up sovereignty over southern Lebanon. Sovereignty is, by definition, a government monopoly on the use of force in and from the territory. If the Lebanese want south Lebanon to remain part of Lebanon, and if they want Lebanon to regain national sovereignty over all of Lebanese territory, then the Lebanese government must immediately act to remove and arrest the jokers who are using Lebanon as a base for their private wars.
2. Lebanon
irwin ,   ny   (05.28.06)
retaliate immediately. Arab mentality is to mistake kindness and patience for weakness. return the rockets post haste, but with more damaging accuracy. Don't waste time and money bombing empty fields.
3. Bomb them!
jonas   (05.28.06)
Bomb Libanon! Libanon is full with bad people!
4. "unusual" rockets ?
zalman ,   tsfat   (05.28.06)
WHAAAAAT? I am sure that the "unusual" terrorists will find it interesting that their "unusual" rockets were unusuallly right on target . Are we soposed to be "unusually" reassured?

7. Put the lights out in Beruit
Avraham ,   Netivot   (05.28.06)
Peretz the lefty doesn't have the guts to do anything, he is weak. The proper answer is to put the lights out in Beruit & the rest of Lebanon, maby then they will get the message. We should also send Nesrallah to his 72 virgins.

joseph ,   negev   (05.28.06)
you stupid person. you are writing from kuwait about a racist regime in israel? jews are not even allowed to enter kuwait!! what are you doing there anyway. the kuwaiti's kicked all the palestians out of their country during the first gulf war!
9. TO NUmber 5
Israeli ,   ISRAEL   (05.28.06)
Israel is a modern multi-cultural democracy with Jewish Christian and MUslim. Members of parliament, high ranking officers in the army judges doctors and lawyers etc. You write from Kuwait and call yourself a Palestinian. The Palestinians have voted for a racist Islamic supremecist regime ethnically cleansed of Jews and Christians strapping bombs on their children etc. Kuwait and Iran all the same evil

Vorax   (05.28.06)
Please pull out ...hmm... banana from your mouth. That will improve your orphography.
11. Not all Lebanese are bad.
Navi ,   Montreal, Canada   (05.28.06)
But the ones that are should be bombed until their bases are reduced to smoldering holes. I have met a lot of great muslim and christian lebanese people, unfortunately they have a lot of Jew-hating assholes living amongst them.
12. Hit Them Harder
Joe Levi ,   Los Angeles. USA   (05.28.06)
The news: PFLP launches missiles into Israel, no deaths. Israel retaliates againt 2 bases in Lebanon, 3 Arabs wounded. And so it goes on...Israel battered from all sides, East, South, West and North. Makes for fascinating news in the NYTimes and Washington Post and Boston Globe, which all claim Israel should "negotiate" with the Arabs before declaring permanent borders. Kind of sickening all of this, isn't it? Can anyone imagine what we here in Los Angeles would do under similar circumstances? If you think the Minutemen are bad guys, just imagine if San Diego were hit with Kassams or Katyushas. I mean, millions of US would pour across fhe border. Israel, again, is too soft. Where were the 100,000 plus Lebanese army? Were the PFLP arrested afterwards? Who cooperated and financed the PFLP? Did Hezbollah have a say in all of this? Why are Lebanese villages safe from Israeli reprisals? Looks to me like Israel hit (again) just empty fields, long vacated by the gunmen. Oh Israel, wake up.
13. To #11. No, not all Arabs or Lebanese are bad but....
David ,   Karmiel   (05.28.06)
It is very difficult to find the good one! When you consider the effort and energy that the Arab and Muslim world spends in vilifying and condemning Israel, one can only wonder what these people could have done for the own people if they had opted for peace. What a waste and what an example of plain stupidity!
14. Opoeratives ? Landing sites ?
Marcel ,   Florida   (05.28.06)
"The Northern Command held discussions Sunday morning following the Katyusha strike, and Chief of Staff Dan Halutz met with political officials to evaluate the situation " This is a disaster ,going for permission to defend Israel to the political airheads who only know retreat and surrender. So you call the terrorists,operatives now ? And a missle attack on Israel is called missile landing sites ? What's wrong with you media morons ? In the business of manafacturing delusions to delude the masses ? Since Israel's retreat and surrender of land to these TERRORISTS, Israel has been rightly percieved as weak and ready to defeat and this is why the TERRORISTS threat rises every time the FOOLS who rule Israel surrender Jewish land to the TERRORISTS not oeratives.

(05.28.06)
We do have muslims in Israel, as we do christians. We actually have a lot of them, they currently construct %20 of Israel almost
16. If you don't want to pay the price for peace, you get war !
Franck   (05.28.06)

17. wael Mohammed , palestine /kuwait
(05.28.06)
when did the Kuwaitis allow your ilk back in ?
18. #15 - Marcel
NP ,   Israel   (05.28.06)
This is the first time I'm agreeing with you fully. Well put.
19. It appears Israel doesn't recognie Lebanon
Muhammad-Ali ,   Montreal   (05.28.06)
Sure it doesn't, if it did, it wouldn't have invaded and occupied our country for 18 years. To add, the one who starte is Israel, the former ocupier. Lebanon was liberated on May 25,0000 by Hezbollah. Viva Hezbollah!
20. To Wael muHAMed
Arie   (05.28.06)
Remember your history - the Kuwaitis threw out the palis for their support of saddam oppression. You state what your mindset is: a supoorter of mass murder. But perhaps you should also take a reality check: Israe is the ONLY State in the Middle East where ALL religions have the freedom to worship and live as they please. Your pali friends routinely destroy Synagogues, such as the Old Synagogue in Jericho; your muHAMedan friends rouinely destroy not only Jewish and Christian houses of Worship but each others' as well. I realize your comments come from exasperation ater the reality of your quran has set in and you now accept that it is a religion of anarchy and mas murder (ie:Hitler). But step out take a deep breath walk away from the fumes of the oil well and perhaps you will come to understand the truth!
21. #19 - muHAMed
Arie   (05.28.06)
You put Montreal in your signature so how do you claim Lebanon? The palis tried before to take over Lebanon resulting in the deaths of thousands of Christians - they lost and the end result was the elimination of Lebanon and its becoming a Syrian annex to this day. Hizbullah is just one more terror fiefdom looking to control its little part of Lebanon - they have no interest in Defeating us. Their interest is safe haven for their drug fields (much like the 'liberation amies' of South America) so they use hatred of Israel as an excuse. They've become adept not at defeatong us, but rather at getting governements to subsidize them in the name of anti-Semitism while they use the money for their own personal greed-much like hamass
22. Take em out
Arie   (05.28.06)
Last time there were attacks, the IAF proceeded to begin taking out power stations. If the Lebanese 'government' will not monitor its borders, then the time has come for them to feel the pain!
23. They just understand violence!
Jonas   (05.28.06)
Bomb them more! The only language arabic people understand is violence. A day without a killed terrorist is like a day without a sun!
24. Lectures
Ivri   (05.28.06)
We have Wael typing uneducated bs from Kuweit, & Muhamad Ali Ranting from Montreal. Do you guys read what you Type? I doubt it. The Eternal victimhood association is a bout to get whacked again in Lebanon.
25. 19 Muhammad-Ali: Did you have to pass an IQ test before you
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (05.28.06)
entered into Canada - I doubt it - otherwise you would be back in Lebanon You are again posting total BS
26. 5 wael Mohammed: Have you joined the slave drivers ?
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (05.28.06)
I suggest you take out an English course since you have access to the Internet - In the meantime study humanitarian rights in Kuwait:

Majid ,   Surrey, UK   (05.28.06)
"and lets face it - your origins are NOT from the UK - you have foreign origines - look at your name alone". I said i was british, and my name has nothing to do with that fact. i never said my origins were completley from the uk. my mother is english and father is arabic. i was born in London and have a british passport. which makes me british. ive lived here all my life. there are 1.8 million british muslims living in the uk, and many have foreign names. the fact that you judge someones nationality by their name simply exposes your racist tendencies.
30. 29 Majid , You are A wast of time - learn history before
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (05.28.06)
You post rubbish - bore people why come to a Jewish Website - only because you have an agenda go to your Arab websites
