1. Is Olmert a prisoner of his own fear ?
Marcel ,   Florida   (07.13.06)
He promises harsh and pianful but never delivers. What's his problem ? Is he full of fear ? Is he just a stooge of Bush and his devious anti-Israel agenda ? Another lying politician who follows the path to defeat ? He fails to remove the weapons from Gaza and does nothing about weapons smuggleing from Egypt. Rafah should be neutralized andf turhed into a no mans land. Israel should take out the Hezbollah missles long long ago. Watch syria and it's missiles They are even more deadly.
2. PEREZITES "defence" policy for Jews is simple "JUST DUCK"
Nebojsa Yitzchak M ,   Toronto   (07.13.06)
What now would be on the chopping block for "lasting peace"? A "road map" a peresites wet-dream that was leading country into chaous for the last 30 years? Get the "DREAMERS OF DREAMS" from the wheels of the country they are in their stupor, country does not have to go off the cliff while they are "experimenting" with their "experiences" while IDEOLOGICALLY STONED into a "never land".. save the Israel from their DELIRIUM. Look for the leadership, Israel has so many smart people who are not yet corrupt... look for them look hard! There are generations of cynical employees of the handful of families (oligarchies) which OWN THIS CIRCUS, it has to be a monumental task for the Israeli citizens to reclaim their nation from the “FARM”-managers.. that is really critical in order for Israel to reclaim its nationhood and to have the chance of SURVIVAL. “The DREAMERS OF DREAMS” are just a dream-peddlers a of an expensive illusion Israel is slowly but surely becoming an ORWELLIAN FARM. It is relatively easy to make sheep’s out of people, but then in times of need.. sheep’s are generally not good defenders of anything but their meat is a priced delicates. Look at the region what they want of Israel? Only meat.
3. Israeli leaders talk and talk and do nothing...much.
AK   (07.13.06)
As Teddy said it so well, speak softly and carry a big stick.
4. israel thought they could ignore the rockets from north/sout
(07.13.06)
5. Resolution ??? you still remeber this word
(07.13.06)
you remeber this word when it's in your side ..... 242 was resolution too .... by the way
6. Israel's Response
Ed ,   Pittsburgh, PA   (07.13.06)
Great idea. Olmert and Co. want the international community to save Israel's butt given the utter failure of the Lebanon evacuation, the Gaza evacuation, etc. since Israel apparently can no longer defend itself given that it has no military deterent. And if things just get quiet enough maybe Olmert can carry out further evacuations in Samaria and Judea (of Jews of course). If it wasn't all so sad it would be absolutely hilarious to see the utter incompetence of Israel's leaders, its military, etc. etc. etc.
7. Where are the "peace now" people? Give them a gun.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (07.13.06)
8. #5 Remember 181
DR ,   Gwent, UK   (07.13.06)
Compliance with UN Resolutions was of no concern to the entire Arab world when it sought the genocide of the Jewish people and the eradication of the Jewish state in 1948. UN Resolution 181 was ignored. No Jewish state was acceptable to the Arab world, irrespective of borders. As for 242 it mentions secure borders and has no mention whatsoever of any "Palestinian" state. It is no accident that Israel is the only nation forbidden from sitting on the UN Security Council. This UN body often has Arab/Islamic nations present voting for the creation of 'resolutions' pertaining to Israel when Israel is forbidden to even have a say on matters relating to it's own country. The UN is a sister organisation to the Arab League.
9. Why am I the size of a peanut?
Ehud Olmert's Brain ,   Jerusalem   (07.13.06)
10. Lebanon are responsible.
jessie ,   norway   (07.13.06)
the arab nations have not stopped their conspiracy against Israel.they eat the Land of Israel,bit by bit.they have been able to do this becauce of the need for oil.(this is only one reason.)And there are too many world leaders without love for the humans.they don't seek wisdom and justice. there are many different names on the terrororganizations.this have been very useful.they say it's the armed wing of the organizations,and there are humanitarian wings and political wings.Hamas and Hizbullah got this "wings".this makes them able to "fight" on several fronts.like Haniyeh,he said,"there are no blood on my hands"!? All nations on earth who harbour and "feed" this seducers are responsible.all this organizations are fighting the same fight. to israel: You are the people of G-D ! When you need it the most-HE helps ! this is also the opportunity for the arab leaders to do something GOOD for the Israelis AND the Palestinians.they have abused both of you. Olmert looks like a strong leader. my Lord ,Jesus Christ,is a Jew and the Son of your G-D. my prayers are with you !
11. IDF Response to the legions of Satan
tamhighplace ,   Richmond, USA   (07.13.06)
It is time to go on the offensive against this medusa from Hell...Israel must play its strong suit now, and do it without fear of the 'words' of the international community. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and self determination must be a part of the response to unprovoked attacks.
12. Israel count your last years to say goodbye
One Sol ,   Jerusalem   (07.13.06)
The illegitimate and illegal country called Israel counting its last years.....how many years left from your 78 years state?
13. Flatten their rocket launchers- ISRAEL has the capability
Jenny   (07.13.06)
but does Olmert/Peretz have the guts? The IDF is terried b/c the rocket launchers are actually situated on the UN buildings. They are afraid of world and UN opinion which is ALWAYS against Israel. Israel is supposed to be to PROTECT Jews not beg for the world's kindness which is never given to the Jews (except Jessie from Norway :)
14. Israel should make it clear to Syria
David ,   Tel Aviv   (07.13.06)
Any missiles fired toward Israel will be answered harshly. If it were not for Syrian-sponsored arms Hizbullah would not be able to do what is did. Assad should realize that Syria is no longer immuned. Israel should strike terrorists hard, but strike those who sponsor and harbor them even harder.
15. Get your basement ready
Majid ,   Jerusalem   (07.13.06)
Yeah get your basement ready in the northern occupied cities and face Hezbollah retaliation. Have sweet dreams and hopefully you wake up and Hezbollah fighters knocking your doors in Haifa and Tel-Aviv
16. Talk back - Escalation in South Lebanon
Ismail ,   Indianapolis, IN   (07.13.06)
I think all this is a comedy why now this is all hapening. do you think that our government works directly with Hizbollah crap to come and bomb the whole Lebanon, knowing that even the Lebanese government cannot do anything to stop them otherwise they would have been gone long time ago. i still cannot beleive that This hurts our country who has been in WARS since 1947 NON STOP i dont think this should keep going ALL THE US Are against us and know exactly that this is a comedy and WE ONLY DO THIS TO COLLECT MONEY from US and more military support and distroy Lebanon the HELPLESS country and kill the peace in the middle East. in addition create a BIGGER BEAST CALLED TERROR to come and haunt at no time. what a JOKE Shalom
17. To Majid in Yerushalaim & Ismail in Ind,
Ivri   (07.13.06)
Majid ya Majid,I hope you have your suitcases in order.Stasrt packing ,you are witnessing the last years of muslim existance in Eretz Israel. Ismail...you were talking about the Palestinian beast ,good thinking Ismail,Your Lebanon is the real Joke,as soon as you rebuilt most of it,your shia brothers are going to destroy it all. tsk tsk stk....what a joke, what a shame.
18. If Sharon Wakes Up From Coma..
RA   (07.13.06)
He's gonna slap Olmert for being a pathetic coward. He has allowed this situation to deteriorate thus far by pussyfooting. Israel needs to show a strong no holds barred response!
19. SORRY-mistake in my last post #13
Jenny   (07.13.06)
The IDF isn't terrified, it is Olmert/Peretz who are terrified of world opinion and the UN(united nothing). Oh yeah and that old loser, Peres.
20. Jewish rockets & bombs have been falling on Gaza like rain
cc ,   usa   (07.13.06)
killing more than 100 Palestinian women and children. Arabs attack Israeli military occupation, Israel attacks civilians, water/electricity pumps, streets and other civilian targets. This speaks volumes of Jewish terror.
21. Israeli leaders talk
Someone ,   Sydney   (07.13.06)
In deed only talk and IDF does not much ( demolishing houses) instead of doing carpet bombing instead of taking terorists from jail , strap them with explosives and parashute them in the midle of hamas gatherings
22. bombs falling like rain
Jeff ,   Phila, USA   (07.13.06)
cc #20. I see just the opposite. Gaza rockets fall like rain over Israel since the pullout of Gaza and the plan to pull out of the WB, aiming for civilian women and children. Israel aims for terrorists, not civilians. This speaks volumes of Arab terror, which has been going on for decades.
23. # 20 cc - Can't wait for you to join me!
Rachel Corrie ,   islamic paradise   (07.13.06)
24. Majid, Ismail, One sol-u r so wrong
Truth ,   USA   (07.13.06)
The terrorist leaders you think are so great bring all of this on you and you blame the Jews. They do all these things for their own personal gain. It's time for you to rise up as a people against these terrorists causing you to suffer. The Jews will never be destroyed! You can count on that! They may because of these evil filled with hate murderers lose a few but those who fight against them losses will will be far greater. G-d Almighty fights for the Jews and with them. One day this is the same G-d you will stand before. It is written and it is true! This same G-d loves you but demands everyone to repent of hatred, murder, unforgiveness and all of their sins.
25. cc in usa ...why do u think that is?
lah ,   USA   (07.13.06)
Do you really expect Israeli Jews to take it lying down? Seems to me your terrorist leaders want to dish it out but start screaming like babies to the world when Israel starts to retaliate. They also try to make sure all of you get attacked but not them. They hide behind their mommies skirt. Wow! They sure are brave-not!
26. G-d changed Jacob Ya'akov's name to
USA   (07.13.06)
Israel. Get it?
27. Answering #20
Edward Goldsmith ,   Los Angeles   (07.13.06)
From where have you krept out of? Are you so stupid or are you trying to be cute. Israel never attacks civilians by choice, if the get killed it's because their loved compatriots, the terrorists hide among them. As for taking out the utilities, thats the punishment given to your Islamofascists for voting terrorists into the Government, and teaching a good lesson in not attacking Israel.
28. To 27 - clariication about power stations
Shai ,   Israel   (07.13.06)
Militaries need electricity. If you force them to use batteries and gasoline generators, you eventually restrict their ability to fight efficiently. That's why power stations are hit - not to punish anybody.
29. How will Olmert deal with his humiliaton?
Jay ,   Los Angeles USA   (07.13.06)
Incredibly, in just a few weeks, Israel's enemies, operating with WWII military technology have inflicted two crushing blows to the reputation of the IDF? How far will Olmert go to divert attention from these defeats and try to establish himself as a wartime leader?
30. Bush will fix things.
Cowboy W ,   Pheonix, USA   (07.13.06)
It's only a matter of time until the world's foremost big shooter, George W Bush decides to put his foot down and stomp out the childish squables in the region. He has to, it's his christian duty to occupy the holy land. He'll bankrupt the USA in the process, but the crusade must be fought.
