1. This all started with the giving away of Gaza.
Jay N. ,   Jerusalem   (07.15.06)
Kadima's weakness was freshly drawn blood for jackles. Every bit of this was predicted. Then to say that Israel was tired, tired of fighting and tired of winning. Speak for yourself jerky Olmert. We'll must never stop fighting for Israel. She is ours and we are not leaving. When this mess is over Kadima is history.
2. We the people stand for Israel
Paul ,   Concord USA   (07.15.06)
as President Bush said in post 9/11 speech to our Congress and Nation: "we are not deceived by the pretences of piety" and "from this day forward any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United states as a hostile regime." We will not hold a double standard for our allies!
3. Blogger from Beirut
Marcel ,   Florida   (07.15.06)
A blogger from Beirut writes ; The bombing has gone on for too long. It's too fierce. Hezbollah has lost morale. The Shia have lost morale. The Lebanese have lost their country. This is a fight Israel cannot win. ISRAEL CAN WIN I TOLD HIM. Everyone in Lebanon knows that Hezbollah cannot win, including Hezbollah. There is nothing Israel can do to get the soldiers back through force. But this isn't about soldiers or Israeli defense any more. You've made this country unliveable for the people fighting to disarm Hezbollah. A LIE TO COVER YOUR FAILURE Guess what? I'm leaving. Yep. Me. Where am I going? Syria. Didn't want to, but I have to. The people we marched against are the ones you sent us begging to. The people who assassinated our leaders, kept us from having an operating democracy, and who armed Hezbollah are laughing it up because they've won the game because of you. Bashar Assad said Lebanon would be destroyed if he left. I didn't know the Israelis would play into his game. It's not surprising that Syrian-allied Hezbollah started the mess, but you guys are just vicious. All my Hezbollah supporting friends are sticking around. They call the rest of us cowards. I guess we are. We want to do scientific research. We want our children to learn how to play the piano. We want to watch our stock porfolios burgeon. We can't do that here any more. I tried to sympathize with you. I didn't support Hezbollah, and if you look at the posts before this conflict began, I was maligning the political parties that oppose Hezbollah for not doing enough. I even gave you guys the benefit of the doubt at the beginning of this, as did most Lebanese. Even the Shia, Christians, and Druze in South Lebanon understood your position. Not any more. Oh, well. I'm a refugee. Mny of us responded to his poor excuses and delusions that they were doing something to stop hezollah. They did nothing but because israel does something to stop it he is no longer understanding of Israel but against Israel. There are many flakesand phonly shallow friends of Israel like this Maronite Christian who likes it both ways ,hezbollah in the south and his good life in Beirut now messed up. He hates it when a weak Israel becomes a strong and defeating terrorist Israel. He wishes Israel would just not fight but negotiate as they have done for so long with the terrorist palthological liars of Gaza . I told him Israel has waken up from this ruse of the jihadists. No more talking ,action !!!!!!
4. How to live with muslims in "peace".
Piter ,   Poland   (07.15.06)
An old Arab saying, "The Arabs are either at your feet, or at your throat!" says it all. Only FEAR will make the arabs leave Israel alone. FEAR of the consequences if they DON`T!
5. #1 Jay -you mean Sharon's implementation of
Marcel ,   Florida   (07.15.06)
the Bush Road Map plan for his vision of a Palestinian state on land ethnically cleansed of all Jews ? The plan Bush pressuredSahron to deliver on or else ...... Jay ,You've got to learn to start at the beginning of the source of Israel's problems ,listening to stupid failed plans of failed U.S. policy against Israel which rewards Palestinian terrorists and punishes the goo settlers of Israel
6. #1:
Michael Steiner   (07.15.06)
No, it didn't. It started ten months after the disengagement. The Disengagement was necessary as will be further disengagements. There is simply no other option than two states for two peoples... - unless you want Israel to find itself in a position where it has to grant millions of Palestinians the citizenship. No-one is tired of fighting or of winning. But we don't need to occupy three million people in order to fight and win.
7. Why Peres, etc. are still free?
Alex ,   LA, USA   (07.15.06)
In England or USA there would had been in jail long time ago. Inless something is done they will continue to destroy Israel. Using the language of the Olmert's daughter and advisor, "Pres is murderer".
8. 3000 Guns
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (07.15.06)
Now, how long ago was it, exactly, that Mr. Peretz and Mr. Olmert gave the Arabs 3000 guns? Was it just 2 or 3 weeks ago? Let me think.....
9. #4 Piter
Eric ,   U.S.   (07.15.06)
That's it in a nutshell. They're brainwashed from birth. "Destroy Israel" is all they know.
10. Giving away land lets our enemies get closer
Andrew ,   NYC   (07.15.06)
11. Two front war
Oren ,   Raanana   (07.15.06)
My question is, where is our esteemed prime minister. Why has there been no address to the nation?
12. IS THIS A JOKE?
KS ,   Lebanon   (07.15.06)
“I can say that the enemy has sustained much greater damages than it expected. And we are pleased with the scope of our strikes against Hizbullah,” he stated. Yeah right!!! you mean Lebanon!! Not Hizbullah!! Hitting every bridge in Lebanon is KILLING Hizbullah!! Yeah right!!
13. Lebanon
Tommy Thompson ,   Sunshine, USA   (07.16.06)
40 years of terrorism in Southern Lebanon. Is this the time to end their occupation? Or should the USA send Paris Hilton & Jesse Jackson to negotiate 40 more years of terror?
14. Peretz The Dupe
Dunne Griffith   (07.16.06)
What a perfect fool to play the patsy for all of the IDF's shortcomings. Pride goes before the fall!
15. #11 Where is our esteemed Prime Minister?
Mike ,   Jerusalem   (07.16.06)
Our esteemed Prime Minister is probably making plans to join his sons who ran away from Israel , as soon as he sees the writing on the wall regarding the fall of kadima and the possible indictment of the oslo criminals.I wonder what Peres will say if a Katyusha hits his apartment in tel Aviv ?
16. #12 KS
Eric ,   U.S.   (07.16.06)
Where is it that you live? Lebanon? THIS is the joke, right? That you live in Lebanon? Do you have any idea how this all came about. Let me get my Crayons out and I'll draw you a picture! YOU ARE PAYING THE PRICE FOR ALLOWING HIZBULLAH TO OPERATE IN YOUR COUNTRY! It's very simple.
17. Mikey you really don't know what the Hell you talking about.
Jeremiah ,   Israel, Jewish Land   (07.16.06)
18. Where are the Ground Troops? Plan a Failure!
Scott Neuman ,   Okemos, Michigan   (07.16.06)
The only way to stop the firing of missles at Israel. To stop the killing and injury of Jews is to set up a buffer zone in Southern Lebanon. The Air Force does not have the power to stop the carnage. Half measures will only exasperate the situation. Olmert should be ashamed of himself.
19. #s 10+15:
Michael Steiner   (07.16.06)
Well, then, best go and occupy the whole of Egypt, Jordan, Levanon, Syria and, just to be n the safe side, Cyprus. What nonsense. Israel's occupation of Aza never stopped the terror there, including the Qasamim. #15: Which world are YOU living in? Reading some of the talkbacks here I get the feeling some of you have been doing way too much crack lately. Stop taking these cheap potshots at people you hold grudges against for your petty reasons. This is the one time we really should all unite and show absolutely no disunity.
20. #8
mimi ,   n.y.   (07.16.06)
right on,these guys need jail time perhaps the great general is doing time now for his dastardly deeds,only g-d knows.
21. WE JEWS STAND BEHIND ISRAEL--
DEBRA ,   USA   (07.16.06)
HEART AND SOUL. WE SUPPORT YOU 100 PERCENT IN THE WAR AGAINST TERROR. YOU ARE THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THE JEWS WHO FOUGHT THE WARSAW GHETTO UPRISING. YOU AND THEY ARE THE BRAVEST OF THE BRAVE. YOU MAKE US ALL GRATEFUL, AS YOU FIGHT FOR ALL JEWS EVERYWHERE.
