I would give Sharon, Olmert, and Peretz twenty-four hours to get all the hostages home. Their failed leadership is directly responsible for this dreadful situation.

Q Does the Beirut -- the attack on the Beirut airport, does that concern you, and are you concerned about triggering a wider Middle East war? PRESIDENT BUSH: As I mentioned, my biggest concern is whether or not actions taken will weaken the Siniora government. Democracy in Lebanon is an important part of laying a foundation for peace in that region. We have worked really hard to get Syria out of Lebanon -- U.N. Resolution 1559, and it's follow-up Resolution 1680 were manifestations of the work of the international community to get Syria out of Lebanon. We've always felt that a democracy in Lebanon is important for the Lebanese people, and it's important for the region. So the concern is that any activities by Israel to protect herself will weaken that government. And we have made that -- or topple that government -- and we've made it clear in our discussions. Having said all that, people need to protect themselves. There are terrorists who will blow up innocent people in order to achieve tactical objectives. In this case, the objective is to stop the advance of peace -- which is a remarkable statement, isn't it? Willing to kill to stop peace. We have a good chance to get a two-state solution, two democracies living side-by-side in peace. It is a clear and achievable vision. There is a way forward called the road map to achieve that vision. What will prevent that vision from being achieved is -- are terrorist activities, and that's what you're seeing taking place. So the US tells Israel they have the right to protect themselves but with RESTRAINT. What Bush should have said is if indeed the Lebanese government is truly Democratic they would not have hosted terror organizations. (In a famous state of the Union Speech Bush spoke about those who harbor and shelter terrorists. ***We see this EXCLUDES the PA and now the Lebanese government*** as well. As an Israeli I am sick to death of having the arms twisted off my country by the powers that be. I don't care what instability shakes the phony Lebanese democracy, just what shakes my country. Mr. Bush, the war on terror has been tasted by every Israeli long before your war on terror which obviously excludes Israel every came to your lips. I expect BS from the EU, Russia and France, but you Bush? What happened to your balls? Where is your moral clarity?

Will Israel's left wing defeatist society now finaly stop electing left wing gov'ts? At the end of the day the Israelis can only really blame themselves.

Israel not imune if does practice the terror in lebanon. the whole Israel not safe now and they should pack and not go south.....go back to Europe....lol

We are standing with this family for Ehud's release! Hundreds of REAL Christians are praying!

Treason and maliciously endangering IDF soldiers' lives by Arab MKs is allowed in Israel whilst patriotic Jews are punished and jailed and regarded as ENEMIES OF THE STATE. It is urgent that demonstrations are held outside the Knesset and outside Israeli consulates world-wide to protest that Arab MKs are allowed to commit treason - collude with the enemy - call for intifada against Israel - and encourage global jihadist religious supremacists to kidnap IDFsoldiers. israelnationalnews.com Arab MK: 'I Advised PA to Kidnap Soldier' Jul 09, '06 / 13 Tammuz 5766 by Hillel Fendel Knesset Member Wasal Taha, corresponding publicly with internet surfers on the Arabic-language IslamOnline site, said he repeatedly advised PA terrorists to battle and kidnap Israeli soldiers. According to a report in Maariv newspaper on Sunday, Taha told surfers on Thursday that he repeatedly advised the PA Arabs to stop shooting and targeting civilians, and to concentrate on IDF targets... http://www.israelnn.com/news.php3?id=106857

This American believes you should do what is necessary for the safety and survival of Israel--despite anything Bush may say. It sickens me that Lebanon can just march right into Israel, snatch two Israeli soldiers and think they aren't going to pay dearly for this. Israel is proving to the world that they would move heaven and earth to protect their citizens. God bless all of Israel and may those soldiers come home safe and sound and into the loving arms of their families.

What choice has Israel got. They have to stop the rockets being fired into Israel and killing innocent people.

Turn on your television set and just look at how Israel is kicking the living shit out of Lebanon. They asked for it!

Try the IDF, it's a better bet.

We go where we want to georgie boy.And we will clean up leb and gaza. We will do what we want to and no microbes in leb or gaza will stop us.

I'm praying for you and all of Israel.

barbarically tortured in Israeli jails.

G-D commanded: "YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS" Patriotic Jews are regarded as enemies of the state. Israel gave the use of an Israeli prison to promote jihad against Israel's Jewish innocents. www.jerusalempost.com May. 18, 2006 14:19 | Updated May. 20, 2006 16:20 Another Tack: Lifers here and there By SARAH HONIG ...Israeli prisons are indeed unique. Not only do the most dangerous terrorists therein get hold of phones, but recently Hamas overtly conducted a mass rally in a southern Israeli maximum-security penitentiary, where scores of convicts congregated in the courtyard, which they festooned with Hamas Islamic-green banners and Palestinian flags. A stage and speakers' rostrum were erected. The backdrop decor was a giant collage, displaying the Hamas emblem, portraits of Hamas leaders, slogans calling for Jihad against Israel and pictures of RPGs underscored by the motto "we'll continue." White plastic chairs were neatly arranged for the "audience," who cheered the invective hurled at the Zionist state and freely photographed the occasion - all under the disinterested eyes of passive Israeli wardens. The snapshots are available for viewing on the Web. Terrorist lifers in Israel don't expect to end their existence in captivity...
