steve ,   austin, texas   (07.16.06)
The french have short memories. If not for the US the French would all be speaking german. It looks like the ymay be speaking Arabic soon. At least the Mexicans are not terrorists. France is screwed wit h so many Muslims in their country.
32. We Support You!
Patricia Rogers ,   Nenana, Alaska USA   (07.16.06)
In a recent poll only 76% of Americans stated that they do NOT believe what we hear in our news. Unfortunately liberals and dissenters have control of much of our media. This in no way means that the American people as a whole don’t know what is going on, they do. They find alternate ways to get the truth, such as reading Israeli news. The truth is that the vast (media ignored) majority of Americans not only support Israel’s right to exist, they support its absolute right to self defense. Send one down Hizbullah’s chimney with our blessings, we’re cheering for you Israel.

hafid ,   indonesia   (07.16.06)
america again? give me a break.
34. ISRAEL IS ON THEIR OWN
Chuck Johnson ,   Columbus, Ohio   (07.16.06)
Most Americans don't want to get involved in Israel's battles. But our jew purchased politicians have sold us out.
35. God Bless Israel
Mark Jessup ,   Baltimore Maryland   (07.16.06)
It is time, once and for all for Israel to take out the garbage which is Hezbollah, Hamas, and all of the other proxies for Syria and Iran. "By their fruits you shall know them" and we have seen the fruits of the various terrorist groups who all seek a common goal, the destruction of Israel. Be it Syrian President Asshat, or that little runt in Iran, Amadjihad (who looks like he needs a bath) who keeps running his mouth, Israel has but two choices: kill or be killed. When you discover your home surrounded by venomous snakes, you either kill the snakes or resign yourself to watching your family die before your eyes. May Israel dwell beneath the Wings of Almighty YHWH, now and forever.
36. The Truth
The Truth ,   Truth, Texas USA   (07.16.06)
Muslims and all who believe in Islam are determined to destroy anyone who is not of their faith - this is part of their manmade creed and is the foundation of the Qur'an. This fact only surprises the ignorant, uninformed who haven't taken the time to examine the Qur'an. You can find the Qur'an online - look for words like infidels and zionists.. don't take my words for it! Remember this little factoid regarding Muslims/Islam because it will serve you well in the days and years ahead. The Qur'an is a book of hate, written by a common man consumed with his own lusts.
37. DISARM HISBOLLAH NOW !!! DISARM HISBOLLAH NOW !!!!
Scott Nudds ,   Canada   (07.16.06)
And how many Palestinians and Lebanese has israel Murdered in the last few days? Hisbollah needs better weapons to defend itself, and to establish a higher price for the act of wanton murder by the Israeli state. Better rockets for Hisbollah would appear to be the best way to achieve regional stability. Something larger, and capable of destroying a radius of several hundered meters with a single blast, and having better guidance. I would also recommend the development of drone aircraft that could be flown into Israeli territory filled with explosives and precision guided to their targets. Hisbollah should also be provided with the technology and means of manufacturing precision guided torpedo's for the purpose of sinking Israeli ships, which can and do sit off shore and shell Israel's neighbouring states with out fear of counterstrike. A policy of one dead Israeli for every dead Palestinian/Lebanese person should be the stated and achieved goal.
38. Israel Must Stand Firm
Scott Nudds ,   Hamilton Ontario   (07.16.06)
Yes, Israel should stand firm on it's policy of perpetual murder. 50 years of this policies implementation have brought about peace in the region, and 50 more years of this policy can do nothing but magnify the love that the world and in particular the families of those murdered by the Israeli state, have for Israel. I mean, how can't you love a state as murderous as Israel, and how can't you praise the glory of a state that continues to destroy and steal the property of it's Arab neighbours? Those Israelis, such adorable murders and thieves.

you remind me of a ten year old trying to tell adults how to behave they always sound imature.
40. WHERE TO GET ACCURATE NEWS ON ISRAEL
DEBRA ,   USA   (07.16.06)
TRUE, ACCURATE NEWS IN THE U.S. ON ISRAEL CAN BE FOUND AT THE WEBSITE: DRUDGE REPORT.COM HE IS THE GUY WHO BROKE THE MONICA LEWINSKY-CLINTON STORY. HE GETS THE NEWS AND REPORTS IT FAIRLY. FORGET THE REST OF THE U.S. MEDIA--THEY ARE LAZY AND STUPID IN THEIR REPORTING. THEY DON'T KNOW WHICH END IS UP ANYWHERE, AND THAT INCLUDES THE MIDDLE EAST.
41. Isreal is right this time
Abdul ,   Gaza   (07.16.06)
I support Isreal, terrorizem should be disarmed.
42. disarm radical muslim trash
john smith ,   tucson, az, U.S.A   (07.16.06)
Nuke Tehran and this would solve most of the problems in the middle east, these dirt dwelling insects do not deserve to breathe. they want to meet their false god and meet the 80 virgins so we should send them on their way
43. kidnapped
shimmy ,   Brooklyn,NY   (07.16.06)
nothing provokes Israel like a kidnapped soldier. If Mexico started shooting katyushas we'd respond harshly. No civillian targets were chosen or attacked.Overreact I think not.
44. THE MIGHTY USA STANDS WITH ISRAEL
Christopher ,   Davenport, Iowa   (07.16.06)
TO ALL IN ISRAEL: KICK THEIR ASS!!! Don't give up until the job is done. Stay strong!! I live in the heartland of America, not some big city. We are with you 100%. You are COMPLETELY in the right. Do what you have to do to rid the earth of these disgusting animals.
45. release the soldiers
Burton ,   Nashville TN   (07.16.06)
If Israel is overeacting then release the kidnapped soldiers and the operations will cease it's that simple. Just as Saddam forced the hand of the U.S. when he failed to comply with 17 UN resolutions. Hezbollah is forcing Israel's hand. The solution is simple. But the leaders are choosing war over peace by not releasing the kidnapped soldiers.
46. To Jimmy from Orlando
(07.16.06)
Thank you so much for your words. You understand what Israel is doing and why. No country would stand for what Israel is going through without a response. You are a true friend.
47. WAR AGAIN
Clem The ShabbisGoy ,   Tucson, Arizona,USA   (07.16.06)
Six million Jews live in Israel. Assuming half are women, a third are children and a fifth are older men, that leaves less than a million men to defend the land from potentially twenty million or more fanatical killers. Against these horrific odds Israel will prevail once again. Israel has learned it's lesson. Land for peace has been a folly. The only thing Israel's enemies understand is unrelenting strength and to know that every time a terrorist strikes the terrorist's "host' nation will be terribly punished. Go and defend your great little nation and go with the knowledge that God blesses your courage.
48. Good Luck
Bob Thompson ,   St. Louis USA   (07.16.06)
Good luck to the Israelis and also the Lebanese civilians. Our hearts are with you. Perhaps the new Lebanese government will work with Israel to finally rid themselves of the terrorists that plague their country. Bob St. Louis USA
49. I agree with #27
MC ,   USA   (07.16.06)
I think you are right
50. Israel MUST defend itself..PERIOD
anonymous ,   Fl, USA   (07.16.06)
51. #2 Answer to Yehudit re hasbara.
AK   (07.16.06)
I just finished watching Greta von Sasteren’s show on Fox News and I'm still fuming. After Palestinian presented his side, as usually full of lies, an Israeli representative had his chance to present the Israeli side, like talk about the rocket attacks on Sderot and Ashkelon, on Israeli children injured, in shelters and traumatized on the bombardment of the northern Israeli cities and villages -- unfortunately he did no such a thing. He only stated that the Arabs had elected Hamas after Israelis left Gaza, as this in itself was a sufficient explanation for present war. As a matter of fact he had very little to say. The man made it appear that Israelis have no reasonable rebuttal to Palestinian claims. Sorry, but not all Americans read Ynet and Arutz Sheva; most rely on what they see and hear on the tube. So, how come the Israeli Embassy had allowed that idiot to become Israel’s public spokesman before the American public at the very time when Arabs are waging a very successful propaganda war against Israel, and how come that idiot, who is obviously oblivious to his verbal shortcomings and is devoid of judgment, got his posting to the US, rather than San Marino? I am a fervent supporter of Israel, but the Israeli diplomats are a dismal failure in representing Israel abroad. Please elect Netanyahu, if not as PM, at least as your only spokesman, and please muzzle everybody else -- Israeli diplomats simply cause too much damage any time they open their mouths in front of the microphone or camera. Isn’t it high time to remind them that their job is not to go to the parties, shopping and find themselves foreign wives, but to represent their country’s interests abroad and select appropriate, well spoken and well prepared people to appear on foreign television to argue for israel?
52. Disgrace
Jeff ,   USA   (07.16.06)
This whole conflict is a disgrace that may eventually draw in US troops. Neither country is worth dropping any American blood over.
53. to Steve # 26
Birdi ,   Israel   (07.16.06)
THANKS & appreciation STEVE.
54. haftorah of the week..."I see a boiling point.."
johanna ,   tsfat   (07.16.06)
and its face is from the north. Then the Lord said to me, Out of the north the evil shall break forth......" this started erev the 17th tammuz....and katuyshas fell on tsfat on the 17th of tammuz... i expect this operation to go on until tisha b'av. this is clearly a spiritual thing, and i urge all people who are in support of israel to increase their spiritual practice,/ work on their character flaws,/ say some psalms/, pray for us etc and say you are doing it for the protection and in support of israel. just commit yourselves until after tisha b'av. every feather on the scale will help. thank you. bearing up under the strain. definately not cowering.
55. American media
Shiksa ,   California   (07.16.06)
I think American media isn't all that biased when it comes to Israel, but my complaint is that the coverage is so incomplete and U.S.-centric. It's hard to get information about what is really going on. (That's why I'm reading Ynet and other foreign media.) Also, can you imagine the American response if thugs in Mexico were to fire rockets into towns in Texas, Arizona, and California? We should expect no different from Israel. To all Israelis, I am sorry for all the violence and hatred you face from so many of your neighbors. The vast majority of Americans are behind you. We do care and you are not alone. I also care about innocent people in Lebanon and Gaza who are being affected by this, but Israel is not to blame. Israel has been provoked and must respond.
56. # 36 : ISLAM Means Peace
WAEL ,   Palestine & Kuwait   (07.16.06)
it obvious how u understand the islam v. well !! it snot religion of hate or war , no my dear , if its like that it wouldnt be called the fastest growing religion in the world , and the united nation reports wouldnt say that in 2050 europe will be a muslim community because of the numbers of new followers of islam is increasing . Your quistion why are those fools turning to islam ? well that you will understand if u only read qura'an without thinking that you are a cristian or juwish or muslim , just read it as a book , unlike u said am telling people read qura'an and find how islam is peacfull , read the prophet mohammed (story) and see how human and intellegent person he was , he changed and rase a nation from the desert , to make them the best nation in the world in his time . prophet mohammed was sent to muslims and cristians and juws
57. STOP THE WAR!
Anonymous ,   Lebanon   (07.16.06)
Israeli Air Forces should stop attacking civilians. This is completely unacceptable. We have more than 100 death, and the toll is rising every day. Where is the respect to humanity???
58. THE LADY IS CORRECT
STU REDER ,   Talkeetna Alaska   (07.16.06)
WE here support and celebrate the right of Israel to life in peace and security. Bomb Iran. thanks!
59. Israel has invaded the USA
Jonathan D ,   Houston, USA   (07.16.06)
Israel has not only invaded the arab countries but the USA as well. Goerge Washington would be rolling in his grave upon hearing the trash that we are fed from our politicians and Israeli lobbyists. ISRAEL OUT OF AMERICA !
60. # 36
Kareem ,   Egypt   (07.16.06)
Qur'an made by man? Tell me, ur majesty, up until we, the human race, invented the microscope..what did we know about atoms? Up until we invented the Ultrasound and X-rays, what did we know about Embryology? Well..if it was a man who wrote it 1400 years ago..explain how this man knew that the bee lives in a 'Queen'dom where the Queen bee sits in the nest and the Servants go out to pollinate..when in the 19th Century, in Henry the 8th, Shakespeare's play, the bee was a King...which is what they believed at that time... In the Qur'an..thats not the case..it describes how the bee is a queen..and how a baby develops in the mother's womb, and how everything is made of atoms..another thing..the Qur'an states that..every living thing in the world is made of water..if u look at our cells thru a microscope..which we invented not long ago..u'll know the Qur'an's Value..and why Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world.. at least we aren't taught to spit on Christian's graves when we pass by them..like u Israelis..
