61. #52 so what!
Chris ,   Warsaw, Poland   (07.12.06)
"No air space, no full border control, and no navigational water" What else can you expect after the evacuation with no warrants for security from the PA side, huh? What else can you expect while guerillas did not care and continued shooting? Should IL free borders and let shahids in? Come on! It is Hamas' government who N times publicly renounced all the Oslo achievments and refused to recognize IL. How can IL make peaceful agreements when she allegedly does not exist? Resistance forces? Don't insult resistance forces around the world. The best resistance for PA is to stop fireing qassams and sit by the table - success guaranteed.
62. #1 fadi
john ,   paso robles,ca.usa   (07.12.06)
You are just adding to the fire. with no thought to the future of your people.You could have had your state by now. But no is all you said to Israel in 48,67,and so on. Israel is not going into the sea. So if you want to keep on feeling like a loser,keep it up.
63. how can i help the israeli soldiers?
kawika ,   munich, germany   (07.12.06)
is there a fund that helps the soldiers. since i am not living in israel, i might as well support them with money for bulletproof-vests, etc...
64. GO BACK TO America, EU etc
(07.12.06)
65. to 27 # yeap LIVNI IS NUTS TOTALLY INSANE
TAKE ACTION ,   HERE THERE AND NOW   (07.12.06)
turning to UN ???? WHY UN? Israel will commit "a crime against humanity" if it has to kill arabs to defend herself ? That you need their approval for action? TZIPI Problem is you and gov. dont think Israel should even exist on the map for the inconvenience it causes to her neighbours. So way you go with your apologetical mentality of looking for international approval. You have no grounded beliefs neither in judaism nor on zionizm , so here you are dragging everyone into your pit of uncertainty Take a vacation please
66. #52...resistance fighters???
DR ,   Florida, USA   (07.12.06)
How is blowing up a cafe, bus, school etc. resistance??? Your delusional culture of death makes no sense and that is why you cannot have free air, waterways etc. Your terror culture will only use these things to attack Israel. Isn't that wat they did when we pulled our troops out of GAza??? You are very wrong if you think Israel will give in to your terror.
67. Right On!!!
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (07.12.06)
Thats great news, now lets just get syria involved, and get Israel to step up the attacks, and lets put an end to this Islamic poison / disease whatever you want to call it, that is infecting the civilized world, they;'ve beaten them all before, and there army is getting more hi tech and bigger, they can beat them all again, a little humiliation is what the arabs need. Disproportionate force my butt, the bombs aren't big enough, take a no nonsense, i'm not fu$k*ng around attitude, and cripple them quick, cause you know it's only time before, iran and egypt step in as well, and not just financially. Canadians (true ones) support Israel.
68. to # 63 Do not help the terror state
One Sol ,   Jerusalem   (07.12.06)
i think you should use that money for vacation or by buildinf the new israel in europ because it seems the guys won't last for long in the stolen land of Palestine
69. the reward for "disengagement" aka retreat
Steven ,   San Francisco   (07.12.06)
If you run from your enemies your enemies will from after you. They will assume weakness and go on the attack and that's simply what's occuring now. Future retreats should they occur will have the same result.
70. Israel will be triumphant
Al Brideau ,   Fredericton Canada   (07.12.06)
Israel has made many peace keeping, good will motions and continues to be harassed on all sides. Her history is one of being protected by the hands of God. This we will see first hand in the upcoming prophetic events that are unfolding. Cancel your vacation plans to Damascus is all I can say ...

72. To #37 and others alike
Uri ,   Kfar Saba, Israel   (07.12.06)
Do not think you know what is going on here in Israel or how much land you think the IDF is taking away from people, especially if you do not even live in Israel and have probably never been here either. Most of you people leaving comments on here are like War Mongers and are too uneducated to even know the difference between right and wrong. For thousands of years Jews have been persecuted and yet we still overcome by continuing to live our lives to the fullest, the Palestinians can do the same. They should learn from the black people of South Africa as they too were in the same position as Israel is in now but yet they do not want to see the destruction of South Africa, in fact they are living life to the fullest as the Jews here are. The Palestinians have every opportunity to fix their land up like the Jews did for ISrael before it was so beautiful so why do they not do it. Do you think if they claim Israel as their own that they will be able to keep it in its present working state, i doubt that. So think again before you say meaningless statements. I do not wish harm on any person but i do not care what happens to murderers or terrorists, i only wish they had chosen a better path in life.
73. The common denominator
Gus ,   Panama   (07.12.06)
The common denominator in this hole situation is religion. ie "My religion is better than yours so I have to kill you." That's the mind set of all involved. That's what is causing all this menace. Jews are less radicals on this regard. So my advice is: Why don't you all become atheist and you will see that you will have much less wars.
74. To #16
Hardy ,   USA   (07.12.06)
Hi Fadi, Learn some history! If you, and your friends, the Sirians, Egiptians, Jordanians etc, would not have attaked Israel in 1967 you would not be under ocupation. If the agressor looses he pays with teritory! But in ypur case you could get away with a peace treaty - your belloved Arafat refused even that - so stop wining!!!
75. #37
Hardy Klein ,   USA   (07.12.06)
Ever herd of Oslo and Camp David? Thet could have had 93% back, but they refused to sign the treaty! Whay not 100% - Because in 1967 they where the agressor! remember Naser and his speach : "we will teach the Jews hou to swim[in the Mediterenean]" ? The agressor has to pay (especially if hi also lost the war)!
76. nuke 'em
mike ,   tn, usa   (07.12.06)
nuke the prison till they glow, shoot 'em in the dark
77.  Israel Attacked by Lebanon. What A Joke!
prophet bob ,   erehwon, amerika   (07.12.06)
I guess Olmert means in the same way israel was "attacked" by the Arab league of nations in 1967. zionists have been lying so long they're beginning to believe their own lies.
78. To Hardy #75 and Omar #37
Chris ,   Warsaw, Poland   (07.12.06)
Even more, guys! In Dec 2000 and Jan 2001Palestine was being given nearly 100% of WB - these few % were few settlement blocks adhering to the israeli border - negotiators from both sides were talking about a mutual land exchange. Unfortunately Arafat was still reluctant and by his speech on Davos Forum he broke the talks.
79. The common denominator
Al Brideau ,   Fredericton, Canada   (07.12.06)
If a woman feared having a child because of the pain involved, she would be denying herself one of the greatest joys on earth, that is raising a child. The common denominator is about truth and not religion. Please don't let religion scare you, Atheism is a religion also my friend, there is just no truth in it. The greatest things in life always come at the highest cost. War is a small price to pay that truth, freedom and Gods purposes be fulfilled.
80. 63 kawika^,munich: Get in touch with the Israeli Embassy
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (07.12.06)
for addresses
81. To #76
Uri ,   Kfar Saba, Israel   (07.12.06)
This is a typical American solution for war, Nuke Em... wow i dont think you actually realise how profoundly insane that would be. Firstly i do not agree with Nuclear Warfare as a solution as it affects the entire world then and secondly should Israel "Nuke" Lebanon or any surrounding country, what exactly do you think will happen to Israel once the winds of radioactive material decide to blow our way and annhilate us all. Clearly not much thinking on your behalf. I dont think you realise how tiny Israel actually is and how large and almost full of complete morons America is. Dont get me wrong i dont dislike America, but i do get annoyed with narrowed minded idiots who like to give their 2 cents worth. Maybe you should rather come here and join the IDF and help in the battle rather than just sitting there thousands of miles away and saying "Nuke Em". Go play "Duke Nukem" or something like that rather. I look forward to reading the other garbage that comes out of some peoples mouths after this.
82. #16 etc.
Ricardo ,   Sao paulo Brazil   (07.12.06)
Listen Fandi, evryone whats to live in peace, war is the worst thing that culd ever hepen to anny contry! You have to anderstand that Israel dosen't whant war either in the same way that the arabs don't. Isrel made contless efforts to achive peace with the arabs in WB since trhe tuime of Arafat, but they got back was only more terror. ironic but thru, the time that israel had the best times of peace was right after the 6 days war! Then ther was no attacs no terror at all! Bc all the arabs feard Israel. It is very cruel to say souch a thing but seams that these is the best way to fight terror! I hope with all my hart that y peaple soon will be able to sit togheter with the Israelis and talk like peaple insted of sending quasams all over the place. All the best for you
83. Response to 77
Levine ,   Jerusalem, IS   (07.12.06)
If its not an attack, what would you call a millitary wing from another country invading yours and capturing soldiers?
84. Hear O Yisrael - when will you
Cathy Catey ,   Georgia, USA   (07.12.06)
turn back to the God of your fathers and acknowledge your true Messiah. His name is not Ehud Olmert, nor is it the IDF - it is Yeshua. He alone will save you from your enemies and the wrath of God yet future to come upon the world. He alone will be your Shalom and you will not have that shalom until the remnant of Yisrael turns back to Him. "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling. Behold, your house is being left to you desolate! For I say to you, from now on you shall not see Me until you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'" (Yeshua) I continue to pray for your peace daily and the safety of those you love.
85. #77...so what you're saying is....
DR ,   Florida, USA   (07.12.06)
all the history books in the modern world are wrong??? Israel wasn't attacked by seven arab countries in 1967??? Wow!!! You're a complete idiot!!!!
86. re:#1 Pay for what?
Chris ,   Washington, DC   (07.12.06)
Fadi, Israel has made repeated efforts toward conciliation and this is what they are met with. Last fall Israel withdrew from Palestinian territory for nothing in return, no security guarantees. Israel then elected a government that promises to withdraw from wide swaths of the West Bank for nothing in return. And this is what they are given in return. Kidnappings and Qassams? I am sorry but unless Israel's neighbors recognize its right to exist among the community of nations then it has not option to respond to such acts of aggression with overwhelming force. If Lebanon, Syria and the PA will not recognize that Israel should not be wiped off not the map then they should be beaten into submission with overwhelming force. Their should be taught like they children that they are imitating that there will be consequences to harboring Hizbullah and kidnappers. It is not clear if that will even work because those regimes are so despotic that they have no regard for the lives of their citizenry, if you can even refer to the rights deprived populace of those countries as citizens. Israel's neighbors have also demonstrated that they have no regard for human life.
87. Northern Eretz Yisroel
John ,   Brownwood, Texas   (07.12.06)
You are exactly correct, and I pray ALL Israel's land is returned to her.
88. reply to kawika

89. To Fadi.
el,vic ,   Warsaw - Poland   (07.12.06)
Think twice idiot.
90. It is time...
David ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.12.06)
For the Arab stranger to be sent to live in the lands of his brothers, for Israel to secure its borders, and for Damascus (and Beirut) to be removed from being a city. Its the only way to end this once and for all.
