123. #59 #63 The JIHAD AGAINST LEBANON'S CHRISTIANS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (07.16.06)
Lebanon was a Christian country until Muslims achieved a majority through an extremely high birthrate. The jihad against Lebanon's Christians was savage and barbaric. The IDF was the only hope for the embattled Christians. Click on Photo gallery of www.free-lebanon.com, 20,000 Christians handicapped by PLO atrocities. PLO terrorists were rewarded for their savagery and mass murder of Christians by implanting them into Israel as terrorist "peace" partners through Oslo to continue the jihad. The Christians of Damour, Lebanon treated Muslims from surrounding areas free of charge in their hospital. The PLO and other terrorists repaid the Christian kindness with barbaric savagery: The Massacre and Destruction of Damour 'The attack took place from the mountain behind. It was an apocalypse. They were coming, thousands and thousands, shouting 'Allahu Akbar! God is great! Let us attack them for the Arabs, let us offer a holocaust to Mohammad 'And they were slaughtering everyone in their path, men, women and children.' Whole families were killed in their homes. Many women were gang-raped..." http://www.free-lebanon.com/LFPNews/psa/psa.html Satanic acts were perpetrated on Damour Christians.

138. Their Death is the result of Their Work
Robert Honn   (07.17.06)
In His Name, The Unique God Hi Every One. Hizbollah attacked israeli people and some people died. I say they shoud be dead. when you are living in your home. some body comes and say "go out. I want to live here" . you say "this house is mine" . he says "i don't care. go out" . he force you by gun to go. and he says "you should go from this city" . you say "this city is ours. we have been living for a long time here" . he forces you by gun and you go. then what will you do? you say " Ok,It is not important ! i will go somewhere else and I will be a friend with that man." really Will you do that? of course not. Israel kicked palestinians out. so they fight not because they want killing people. because they want to live in their houses. their cities. israel kicked them even out of palestine. so they fight, it is their right. We muslims do not hate jews nor christains nor buddhists and no other religion. we live with them as we did. but when they want to harm us we will defend. we hate zionists not jews. we hate american govenment not american people. Hizbollah is a divine power. they will fight till they can live in palestine. and we moslims of course we will help them. islam doesn't command you to kill innocent people as alqaeda, those evel forces, do. but islam says when a person kill another should be killed. when a person like sharonŲŒ Bush or bin ladan killed innocent people they should be killed. islam is the religion of peace. when a person kills another, in all contries, government will arrest him and send home to jail ( at least ). is it against human rights? no, when a person want to fight, does it mean to have peace? till israel don't let paletinians live in their houses peace doesn't mean. alqaeda is a terrorist because he kills innocent people as he did in 11th september. but hizbollah is not a terorist. people of israel knew that this land is not their land but they came aven if they didn't know when the understand that this land is not their land they had to live or at least fight against their government but they didn't. even they encourage their government to kill people. so they are guilty of that. i don't want to call them jews beacuse a jew is like moses ( peace be upon him) they are not. christians should be like jesus ( peace be upon him ) , st. francis and st.agustine and muslims should be like muhammad ( peace be upon him ),Ali, Hosein, and Other religious people. alqaeda is not a moslim group. Zionists are not jews. and Zionist Christians Are not christians. I hope the person who will be sent by god apear earlier to fight for peace. yes, fight for peace.

141. 140 sabri : Don't post Rubbish: History is NOT your strong
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (07.17.06)
point And your propaganda will not change historical Facts- no matter how much you Try Now Stop posting crap and BS Another fact you have not learned - The term "Palestinian" is itself a masterful twisting of history. To portray themselves as indigenous, Arab settlers adopted the name of an ancient Mediterranean tribe, the Philistines ("Invaders" in Hebrew), that disappeared out over almost 3000 years ago. The connection between this tribe and modern day Arabs is nil. Romans, in order to conceal their shame and anger with rebellious regions, changed the references to Judea and Samaria by naming them Palestine. 1. Nationhood and Jerusalem - Israel became a nation in the 14th century B.C.E. Two thousand years before the rise of Islam. 2. Since 1272 B.C.E. the Jews have had dominion over the land for up to 1,000 years with a continuous Jewish presence in the land for the past 3,300 years. 3. The only Arab dominion since the Arab invasion and conquest in 635 C.E. lasted no more than 22 years. 4. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem. 5. For over 3,000 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital and Arab leaders did not come to visit. 6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran. 7. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray facing Mecca (often with their backs toward Jerusalem). 8. In 1854, according to a report in the New York Tribune, Jews constituted two-thirds of the population of that holy city. 9. In 1867, Mark Twain took a tour of Palestine. This is how he described that land: A desolate country whose soil is rich enough but is given over wholly to weeds. A silent, mournful expanse. We never saw a human. 10. In 1882, official Ottoman Turk census figures showed that, in the entire Land of Israel, there were only 141 000 Muslims, both Arab and non-Arab. 11. A travel guide to Palestine and Syria was published in 1906 by Karl Baedeker; estimated the total population of Jerusalem at 60,000, of whom 7,000 were Muslims, 13,000 were Christians and 40,000 were Jews. 12. In 1922, with what was widely acknowledged as the illegal separation of Transjordan, the Jews were forbidden to settle on almost 77% of the Palestine, while Arab settlement went unrestricted and encouraged by British mandatory authority. Did you know that Saudi Arabia was not created until 1913, Lebanon until 1920? Iraq did not exist as a nation until 1932, Syria until 1941; the borders of Jordan were established in 1946 and Kuwait in 1961. Any of these nations that would say Israel is only a recent arrival would have to deny their own rights as recent arrivals as well. They did not exist as countries. They were all under the control of the Turks. Over 80% of the original British Mandate land was given to Arabs without population transfer of Arabs from the land designated for Jews.

143. Does Hezbollah know where the Arabs live?
JHK ,   WashingtonDC   (07.17.06)
Haifa, Afula and Nazareth are full of Arabs. You see Araveem, even these terrorists kill their own kind. Be careful what you wish for- the next bomb will fall on Nablus!
144. Should the "innocent" prisoners be released
Itai ,   South Africa   (07.17.06)
The hizballah want the israelis to release the palestinian children prisoners for the captured soldiers. They make it seem as though the children were arrested for stealing sweets from a shop ... but what everyone forgets is that these children were arrested for carrying explosives on their bodies. Also some reporters have said that they have spoken to some of the murderers that the hizballah want released and these prisoners told the reporters that if they are released they will kill again. So should we save 1 israelis life in order to kill 10's of israelis lifes by the release of these "innocent" prisoners???
145. Defense Of Isreal
Mike ,   Leeds, USA   (07.18.06)
GOD chose HIS people to be decended from Abraham thru Isaac, not Ishmael. For HIS people GOD promised to provide a homeland flowing with milk and honey. As chronicled in EXODUS, that is exactly what HE did. GOD then, and has since, removed any other nation establishing residense in this land in favor or Isreal. GOD will never allow anyone but HIS chosen this land and even warned about redefining it's borders. GOD is true and just and unchanging. HE gave HIS people this land and HE will defend it. Those who hate America because of our unwavering support for Isreal need to recognize that we are blessed as a nation because of this support not in spite of it. To those who wage war against Isreal and/or it's defenders take note, you have been warned.
146. Justice for ALL
Who cares   (07.19.06)
To all blood thirsty individuals posting their disgusting comments: Are you happy? Congratutation! What you don't seem to realize is that the proud & courageous IDF might kill Nasrallah, but is creating thousands of other Nasrallah's, Bin Laden's, & other terrorists for many generations. Yesterday, ANdrei was killed in Haifa trying to save his wife & little daughter. Do you think the killing & the blood shed will return Andrei to his young family? Do you know how many Andrei's there is & will be? ON BOTH SIDES!!! Wake up you fools, or you might join Andei.
