I urge Israel (military and govenrment) to assist any foreign nationals, especially of friendly states to escape Lebanon. Many of our loyal friends maintain staff in Lebanon. It can only be good for US. Let's hope and pray for no more harm to our fine young soldiers on the front.

deserves this. The people of Lebanon should rise up and elect some leaders that will deal with Hizbullah. This is the only way they can have a normal life. Letting Syria and Iran run the show will only lead Lebanon to more misery and destruction.

At least Israel is making an effort not to hurt civilians, while Hizbollah don't care, they just fire rockets into cities and towns, packed with civilians, these rockets have no guidance system, and no accuracy, but you kill a snake by cutting off it's head, I hope all of this is just a warm up excercise for the Israeli's, a pre-emptive strike against Syria will do wonders for Israel, and the peace seeking arabs. You can bet that Iran has some backing in this, they are quite the yellow bellied governments we all thought they were, they sit in the background giving money, weapons, and instructions, but too scared to do it themselves. They so proudly call other people to get Israel, while they do nothing, now is the time, I think the whole world would agree, just go at it, and get it over with, so everything can get back to normal, economies can relax. I predict an Israeli win, backed by the US and Canada, as soon as Iran or Syria get involved, N. America will be there.

If you do not erase the IslamoNazis we will erase you.

They need to take responsibility and act like a nation. Having terrorists run the country is insanity. They asked for this fighting by allowing Hizbullah to remain in their country.

Syria and Iran run Lebanon. The people allowed this to happen and this is the price they pay.

I'm lebanese Christian from beirut, i hope Israel can reach hezbolla in their bed and kills them, and also let Israel strike the syrian president,, I wish this strike will finish soon,, with less civilian,, we are in the Christian area of beirut feeling happy about the strike, but psychologically we are affected,,everybody hates hezbolla here,, I hope this will finish

I suggest they speak to Hezbollah , since they're the aggressors shelling Israel, from lebanon. They may try to use their Army against Hezbollah. 'Israeli offensive?' I would call Al-Aridi statement to be an Arab hutzpa to the highest power. How does he intend to compensate israelis for all the carnage caused by Arab attacks: Hezbollah, Lebanese, wha't the difference, rockets came from lebanon.

The latest crisis has Iranian signature all over. The persian state thru its puppets in Hamas and Hezbollah using Syria as an proxy is most likely resposible for abductions of Israeli soldiers. And why now? In moment when palestinian territory was on the verge of civil war and Lebanon slowly getting out of Damascu's control.

You are courageous enough to take the fight to the Islamic Terrorists across the border which the Indian goverment is too afraid to do. You have our Admiration! May God protect the Israelis in their righteous war!
