Nebojsa Yitzchak M ,   Toronto   (07.12.06)
Anto PACIFY Syria for the looong long time. Peres and Peresites prevented its success. That particular group was acting like the “Fifth Column” against the Israel for the enemy.. ANY ENEMY. Israel hast go into Lebanon and finish the Job, last time when the Israeli Army went into Lebanon people were greeting them by throwing the rice on the Israeli solders. Today since last betrayal of the Lebanese population I doubt that this will happen this time again. BUT! If Israel shows to be true friend and ally of i.e. Lebanese Christians and does everything to protect their interests as well Israelis on the long term I truly believe Israel will have very important and a trusted ally on its Northern border. Syria has to be dealt totally with and permanent solution has to be IMPOSED on them. It is the critical moment to use this TRAGIC PROVOCATION and would be an opportunity and to rectify this issue once for good. SYRIA is “Hezbollah” and all evil in Lebanon is sawn by the Syria which was dismantling the Lebanese society in order to expand its borders into a social-vacuum they created; with the terror, anarchy, pillaging that was going there for the past 30 years under the “watchful” eye of the “humanity”. Lebanon was slowly butchered out of existence what was once a Switzerland of the Middle East become just another Muslim HELL HOLE. Israel has to make a bold move and take whatever measures are necessary and to restore a peaceful society there that was once flourishing at its northern border. Syria is client state of IRAN, all aggressive posturing of Iran is going trough the Syria. If Iran gets a nuclear device it would be most likely delivered trough Syria via “Lebanese” terrorist organization (any). Taking Syria out of that equation (together with Lebanon of course) that threat would be harder to implement. Syria is a dedicated enemy that will not cease unless it is disarmed and “educated” as of the consequences of the terrorism. Syria should be kicked out of Lebanon promptly, ANY ensuing hostilities from their forces would be pretext to the total destruction of Syrian defense forces, INFRASTRUCTURE, power-plants, bridges, airports, manufacturing plants, road-railroad grids what NATO did to Yugoslavia should be done to the Syria. It will de-facto take Syria out of circulation for at least 20 years, Israel should declare Syrian region as its strategic zone of Interest as US declared Grenada, and any military “provocation” or escalation should be met with utmost resolve. It is very important that enemy and potential enemy has no clue as the gravity-cost of their action would be they have to guess.. but they have to be for CERTAIN that Israel will respond DISPROPORTIONATELLY, how disproportional its should be left to them to guess on. Syria has Soviet weapons which are still quite “archaic” and electronically (seriously) obsolete, It would loose a BIG-TIME, and its Iran’s terror-allegiance would be to expensive, so Israel and Syria would have 20 years to talk it over.. Perhaps even peace could come to fruition?
5. Israel Respond
Evgeniy ,   USA   (07.12.06)
I have doubts that we will see our solders back (hope I’m wrong), but I though of one cruel plan. Maybe a little too cruel, but it what they want. Terrorist want exchange in 3/1000s ratio, I say - go for it. They kill 3 POWs , Israel kills 1000s POWs as a friendly gesture. And lets see how hamas and hizbolah will like it. I have reason to believe they won't like it. Those who think I'm crazy - sorry it wasn't my idea, I heard it from dirty mouths of terrorists, so blame them if you will.
6. US says Syria responsible, small talk for TAKE THEM OUT NOW.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (07.13.06)
7. Misleading Headline
US=Int'l Community?   (07.13.06)
"International community stands behind Israel following Hizbullah attack in north. " - YNet When did the United States become the "International community?"
8. Israel caught off guard again
Marcel ,   Florida   (07.13.06)
The enemy is on the offense and Israel fails to be pro-active. Be very careful and watch Syria . They will likely pull a surprise punch on unexpecting Israel. The Hezbollah bases have always been a ticking timebomb because Israel's weak and fearful leader's failed to take any offensive action against them . Behind the camera's the U.S. still attempts to restrain Israel . They don't want the Jews to wina another war against their Arab League buddies. You have to tell the U.S. to restrain the terrorists for once and let Israel take care of business. If Olmert does not stop his half hearted ,weak and timid respopnse ,maybe he can be declared mentally imbalanced by an Israeli doctor and replaced before it is too late.

10. DECISIVE DEFEAT of SYRIA IS CRITICAL FOR THE LASTING PEACE
Nebojsa Yitzchak M ,   Toronto   (07.13.06)
Decisive defet over Syria is a critical for the lasting peace in the region. Syria is an umbilical cord to all Muslim terror franchisees in the region. Syria is the main hub between Iran and Lebanese, and Israeli Muslim terrorist organizations. Syria’s whole economic substance is based on Iranian global aspirations to project itself as a vanguard of Muslim causes everywhere, and Israel is of course its prime “prize”. To Iranian adventurism Syria is a critical conduit for the projection of its power in the region. Syria on the other hand has all to gain from extremism and anarchy it creates in Lebanon, because slowly but surely a whole social fiber of Lebanon as a NATION is slowly eroded by the extreme anarchy and terror that was fostered and maintained by the Syrians. So in my opinion it would be imperative to move on Syria EXTREEMELY HARD, and trough-out a whole Lebanon clearing-up all Muslim terrorist spheres of influence by reinserting Christian Phalange to power and re-ESTABLISHIN STRONG ALLIANCE with them for the LOOOONG long time. Today there are no moderates in Lebanon, tomorrow there has to be alternative to terror, Lebanon was and is in bloody upheaval because of Syria and Iran’s gross violation of that country’s sovereignty, human rights abuses and outright extermination of significant part of Lebanese population. Syria has to PAY and to PAY DEARLY. Syria has today obsolete Soviet era weaponry, Israel has a major advantage which should UTILIZE NOW! Syria should be made an example for the other THUGS in the region, that there would be DISPROPORTIONALLY SEVERE COST to attempt a war with Israel, It is critical that Israel would be FIRST TIME LED with DOMESTIC interests in mind instead of its “all-LIES”. Israel should in a matter of 2-3 weeks completely destroy Syrian Army, Syrian INFRA-STRUCTURE like power-plants and power grids, telecommunication centers and its grids, Transportation infrastructure (bridges, road junctures, and railroads) country literally has to get into a stone-age or at least “DARK AGES” that they were so dedicated to put others into.. It would be critical to LIBERATE KURDS in Syria, arm them forge a link with them so Israel would traverse and hold presence in the region, so to dispel any notion of future hostilities toward their FRIENDLY neighbor.. Syria would be a chilling example to dispel any “wet-dreams” from the local lunatics in the Middle East for time to come. Alternative is to EDUCATE them into REWARDING ADVENTURISM that will bring Israel truly into a mortal danger. In the 67 , and 73 wars Israel had a MARKABLE technological advantage Arabs had Soviet weapons i.e. Mig-21, Mig-23, Mig-25 SU-7 etc. only plane that had TAR (Target Acquisition Range) more than 20km was MIG-25 (a spy plane) rest of them had TAR of less than 15km, Israeli Phantoms, Kfirs, and Mirage III had TAR of around 200km with effective kill zone of 50-60km range. So it was almost like the shooting the rats in the barrel. Today they have exactly the same technology we have, same electronics and same hardware, as well they have 5 US manned AIWACS (Centurions) for electronic warfare and intelligence. So if they intend to be ADVENTURISTIC it will cost Israel dearly perhaps even terminally H”S. To avoid this scenario operation has to be swift, UNCOMPROMISINGLY decisive, and with the LASTING effectives.. It has to be a message in the region that Israel will do everything possible to SURVIVE, and its survival would never be “debated” again.
11. Here's your peace
marya ,   sacramento   (07.13.06)
Here's your answer to throwing Jews out of their homes. The government of Israel has been displaying to the world how to treat religious Jews -- only in Israel, no where else in the world, has their been an expulsion of beautiful, law abiding religious Jews. And for what, FOR WHAT -- to give to the enemy for "peace," right? Here's your peace. It's all you're ever going to get -- it's all you've ever gotten and you still don't get it!!!
12. Ohh well...
An observer ,   Canada   (07.13.06)
We are witnessing the beginning phases of World War 3 and that includes the US lead war in a Middle East. I am afraid that this time the consequences will be horrible more than ever before. People of this so-called civilized World never learn from the mistakes of the past. World War 2 has only ended less than 61 years ago, but here we go again. God save us all.
13. There is a time for peace and a time for war
דניאל ,   תל אביב   (07.13.06)
To everything there is a season. This is obviously the season for war. The question is are we going to win the war or only dance around with no real objective? Joshua brought Jericho down by turning it to rubble. Gaza is still standing. Why? Hizbollah was allowed to prepare for war on the border. Why? We can sonic boom Syria but to take decisive action is not possible. Why? There is no reason to allow Israelis to suffer any longer. There is no reason to fear mortar or rocket fire. It is time to win the war. To fight until there are no more rockets aimed at Israel. Negotiations have failed. Some groups only understand 'shock and awe.' It is time to win. Am Yisrael chai!
14. Get rid of Syria
Phil Rame ,   riverside,ca, usa   (07.13.06)
I love Israel and pray to God that they get rid of satan syria once and for all.
15. get rid of peres and olmert and beilin and CO.
shmu ,   winnipeg   (07.13.06)
The Jewish people cannot listen to these dhimmied appeasers, at this time we need strong leadership, positive propoganda and media that tell the truth. The Jewish People deserve the best, and this garbage in government is the worst.

Rustum ,   London, UK   (07.13.06)
Can you kindly quote in which prayer the destruction of Syria is recommended? You obviously have the soul of a a deeply destructive person. Praying for the destruction of a country? Isn't that what Ahmedinejad does? Are you two bedfellows?
17. Rustumtum in londonistan
Ivri   (07.13.06)
Despite your suave words,your criticism of any pro Israel view ,and lack of criticism of any Arab hostile action,makes it clear that you are one gasbag with lots of biased hot air. You have been exposed on here so i suggest you find another venue for your 2 cents worth of hot air.
18. Dear Dhimmi Phil in Londonistan:
marya ,   sacramento   (07.13.06)
It's obvious that you have lost all self respect and will to live in UK/Londonistan. We know that out of cowardice, fear, a mind awash with moral equivalence and suicidal political correctness, you have turned your country over to the Islamic horde. We pity you. You have to stop your car in traffic 5 times a day when they want to bend down in the streets in front of your cars to pray. Oh they could do it somewhere else but it be more convenient for you and they won't have that. You have to change the way you teach in school, blowing past any history that might get your throat slit. Your empty cathedrals are turning into mosques. You can no longer express an opinion so you've adopted theirs, again so you won't get your throat slit. You can't even give piggy banks away as a marketing gimmick without incurring their wrath. You're pitiful. After WWII you sold yourself to the devil. They bombed your trains and buses then threaten if you say too much about it you might get more of the same. Your days are spent looking over your shoulder because soon they will out-number you because you don't even have the sense to reproduce! Dhimmi. D.h.i.m.m.i . That's how it's spelled. It's what you've become. Now ta ta, run off to your palestine support group. We've got to go kick some ass. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." ~ Edmund Burke
19. SYRIA RESPONSIBLE
JEFF ,   VENICE, CA   (07.14.06)
EXACTLY, IRAN AND SYRIA ARE ON THE HIT LIST. BASICALLY IT SAYS....ISRAEL, TIME TO PAY A BILL FOR US, WERE STRAPPED FOR MANPOWER.
20. We are on death ground.
Kimberly Peacock ,   NY United States   (07.14.06)
It is a time to fight or die. It is time to dismantle any military capability against Israel. No matter the cost. For the cost later will be so much more. If Israel can have now a complete victory then in the future there can be peace. The sacrifice of the generation of today for the generations of the future.
21. Marya from Sacramento
Jackie Goodall ,   England   (07.19.06)
Oh yes Marya, you are so angry but I am afraid you are right with what is happening in the UK. The Islamic Enemy has crept upon us slowly and with stealth and we have been sleepwalking. Blair talks a lot of weak waffle, and political correctness seeks to bind our mouths - but hey, do not despair, their is a sizable minority who do have their eyes open and are not afraid to speak out.
22. Syria-the reason for the terror
Aaron ,   Houston, USA   (07.20.06)
Keep your eyes on the city of Damascus in Syria. Very soon it will no longer exist. If you will read the Holy Bible in Isaiah 17:1... "The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap."
