That idea of giving the arabs land for peace, are you getting enough peace now? Would you like some more? Keep backing that loser Olmert, let him give away Yehuda and Shomron and see how much peace Israel will have. Kadima's realignment plan has failed. We cannot afford to appease the arabs. Olmert has been a miserable failure. All of Israel is our land and should stay ours. We can never stop fighting for it, no matter how tired our leaders may get. Running from the problem will not help. If I'm not mistaken Olmert's convergence plan translates from Hebrew to English as "concentration" plan. Sad but it's true. A self-imposed concentration camp... nice.

especially since the Israelis support the butch of Beirut.

Haifa didn't elect Kadima: as ever, the city of peace, where Jews and Arabs have lived together far better than anywhere else in Israel, voted Labour and Meretz. This isn't the failure of land for peace - it's the failure of creating a Bantustan in Gaza, while continuing to build settlements, steal land with the wall, and otherwise, violate the Holy One's commandment, blessed be he 'And you shall not oppress a stranger, for you know in your hearts what it is to be a stranger, for you were strangers too in Egypt.' Sadly, our militaristic, bigoted brethren have forgotten, and we Jews reap the whirlwind of emulating our oppressors. Peace failed? We never tried it, it's 'The Iron Wall' that's failing, and that failure may yet engulf the region in a conflict that will see destruction on a scale that makes Iraq and Afghanistan combined look like a barroom brawl.

I hope the people of the North come out of this unharmed and even better a bit wiser and committed to Zionist ideals.

Israel's leaders are good at one thing: warning people to protect themselves. They really want Israelis to be safe; they just don't know how to keep them safe.

I just want you to know that my prayers and full support are with Israel..the land and the people.

The Nazis taught the the israelis well. Israel isnt interested in peace, they are exterminating palestinains. This is clear

To all my Israeli brothers and sisters my thoughts and prayers for a safe and peaceful future are with you! AM YISRAEL CHAI! see you in september!

Genocide? Do you even know what genocide is? Genocide is defined by the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG) Article 2 as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such: Killing members of the group; Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; and forcibly transferring children of the group to another group." ISrael has done this????!!!!! Israel has done everything for peace since 1448, it has givin away the siani, Gaza, and for what? to continue recieving qassam rockets?? The PA has gaza and what do they do? they continue to bulid arms while THEIR people starve, if it is a country now, israel has no obligation to give them anything. thats the obligation of the PA and the terrorist govt they have HAMAS. when thw world forced israel to give gaza , what did they expect ? that the Palis would use the greehouses to grow pretty orchids and export them to Europe?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, that is afunny thought. Anyways, JAck before you speak, get your facts right, and may G-d Bless you! AM YISRAEL CHAI!

Take good care of yourselfes, dear friends. I want to wish the soldiers a safe homecoming and guten sjabbes!!

Hiizbullah said if isrealis will attack Beirut we will send dozens of missiles to Haifa,and the rocket wihich hit in Stela Maris,was not from Hizbullah,so why Iraelis attacked Beirut airport?,till now 20 missles hit this area,and many civilian were obliged to run away,is this war against lebanon or what??WHAT ARE ISREALI GOV THINKING ABOUT??,i wonder if the victims who sleep in lebanon hospital have the same value with the victims in the other side,life is a gift,life is a HOLLY gift,we ARABS HAVE NO LESSONS to learn from people which treat us as nothing,shame on you,and BIG SHAME ON ARABS NATIONS,wakeup,time of deep COMA is OVER nowwwww...

1. Israel started to attack Beirut after the Hezbollah attacked Haifa. 2.One of the reasons to attack airports and harbours is to prevent that the soldiers that are kidnapped will be brought to another country and to prevent that more weapons will be delivered to the Hezbollah etc.... 3. remember that the Hezbollah started this by kidnapping 2 young boys.

what you were talking about. http://www.gov.il/FirstGov/TopNavEng/EngSubjects/EngSElections/EngSEResults/EngSEElection17/ 28% voted for Kadima 16.99% for Labor-Meimad 3.85% for Meretz

I agree with you 100%. And Jack, No.8, how can you say that Israel is not interested in peace. The completely left Lebanon, this was certified by the UN. They completley left Gaza, again, certified by the UN. This was to appease the Palestinians and to guarantee peace in the region. It is the Arab world that is interested in genocide. These people do not recognize Israel as a nation, much less recognize the Jews as human beings. They have openly vowed to make Israel extinct!!!! Jack, how can you honestly believe what you write? What is clear is that you are an idiot and can only regurgitate the rhetoric that you hear from your obvious leftist-socialist leaders. You are what is wrong with America, you and your inability to use reason and logic to come up with your own valid opinion. Cite ONE example that would vilify your argument....CITE ONE!!!!! I challenge you, you imbicile!!!

Right on Jeremiah! I am amazed by the people that write but obviously have no idea what they are talking about. Thank you for putting the facts along with you post to end N0. 3's ridiculous statement. I am proud that the USA supports Israel!

From the creation of the so-called jewish state, they never let lebanon live in peace because they are greedy and want its water and resources. Bomb as much as you like but you will never defeat the lebanese spirit. Our only resource is the hard working lebanese people in leb and all over the work, your only resource is hate and military destruction machines. We always rebuild because we will always love life. Forza Lebanon, beirut = pearl of the middle east no matter what!

Amazing Ayman ignores Lebanese history. When the Sidon and Tyre were wealthy Phoenician cities, the kings of those cities had friendly relationships and mutual protection agreements with the kings of Israel and Judah. Friendly until the precursors of the Syrians came in and destroyed everything and exported all the wealth and people, denuding the country forever. Now the modern-day Assyrians, supported by the modern -day, have mounted their own version of the same story of 2500 years ago. As Ayman suggests, "our only resource is the hardworking Lebanese people in Lebanon" is correct because it is all you have left. Once more you have allowed despots, autocrats, and maniacal fanatics to determine your history and put you into a no-win position. Use all that energy and resourcefulness to finally stand up to these maniacs before you lose your ultimate resource...a future. If you do not stand for yourself now, there will be no one to stand later.
