31. Unfortunate accident
youssef ,   Beirut Lebanon   (07.19.06)
First of all,#19, you're a racist pig. I'm sorry that arab israelis are killed.And believe it or not i'm also sorry that civilian jews are suffering. But it's nothing comapred to the damage here in lebanon,and i think the isaelis are to blame for this escalation.
32. condolences
BS meter ,   Canada   (07.19.06)
Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad...they are fundamentalists. They want an Islamist state. They are willing to entertain the idea of Jews living amongst them so long as they are dhimmi. The prospect of one tiny place where Jews have self-determination is too much for them to bear, with their top-dog/bottom-dog mentality. Wherever they see anyone who doesn't agree with them, they kill. They kill other Muslims by the thousands in Iraq. They kill them on trains in Mumbai. They kill them in Israel. They kill wherever they don't get to rule. My condolences to the families affected, including those Lebanese who are not harbouring and abetting Hezbollah and those Palestinians who are not doing the same with Hamas, those Iraqis who work for a peaceful future whose peace isn't secured by some maniac ready to shred them if they speak out, those Indian Muslims who seek to enjoy the enormous benefits that a free India is developing, alongside Hindus. Those of you who care about nothing but establishing Islamism everywhere possible, or who wish for nothing more than to see Israel destroyed, I couldn't care less about you. I just saw a breaking news report about Hezbollah building special rooms in residential buildings from which to fire rockets. Anybody who allows this is a willing target.
33. Arab MKs fiddle while Holy City burns
Arie   (07.19.06)
They started with their open push for hezbullah and hamass to kidnap Israelis, which has now resulted in these two beautiful innocents butchered at the hands of their allies. The AG should be charging Sana and the terrorist ilk with treason and the murder of these two beautiful brothers. As a Jew, I am proud to call the brothers and their families ISRAELIS

Demand that your mayor sets up an alarm immidiatly, but I fear only very little houses in Naztrat have a secure room or a shelter.
36. Maybe now
Israeli ,   Israel   (07.19.06)
Maybe now the muslims of Nazareth will stop waving Hamas and Hizbollah flags!
37. Christians wake up!
Giavour ,   Ca, USA   (07.19.06)
May God be with the Lebanese Christians, and may Hizbollah hit that ugly mosque on the Temple site in Jerusalem!!! That would be poetic justice!!!!!!!
38. The Mighty Hizbullah!
Scott ,   OK, USA   (07.19.06)
Bravo Boys! Good shootin! Those little kids deserved it. We all know that Jews are just the product of dogs and pigs mating! Isn't that what you teach in your schools? They would just grow up to be bigs jews anyway. Hitler taught you guys well. Shoot missles at Israel and then run and hide behind the skirts of old women and little girls. Then when Israel shoots back, they kill the old women and little girls. Brilliant! There is an especially warm place in HELL for all Islamofacists. Adolph will be your tour guide and your virgins will all be swine, just like you! If I could, I would send pig carcasses to Lebanon to wrap you in before they buried you. Not that you deserve a burial though. Just ask Al Swahiri in Iraq, now residing in Hell about the whole thing. Your days are numbered and the number is small. See Ya, not!
39. What is the Promised Land?
A poet ,   God's Heartland   (07.19.06)
My fellow Christian, Jewish, and Muslim brothers and sisters, how do you understand the term “Promised Land?” Is the Promised Land the certain PEACE of God’s Kingdom that is produced by a harmonious spiritual fellowship with God and all His children? Is it a state of being that you can take with you anywhere, even to the most distant galaxies? Or is the Promised Land a certain PIECE of God’s Kingdom that is an infinitesimal parcel of real estate in this universe? Is a particular tiny portion of this planet the only possible place to commune with an infinite God? If the Promised Land is a discrete piece of physical property, then this conflict is no more than a bloody, centuries long probate dispute over who inherits Abraham’s estate. Does the land go only to the sons of Isaac, or only to the sons of Ishmael, and to the exclusion of the rest of God’s children? Poets wrote the Torah and the Koran. Poets write metaphorically or symbolically. The words they choose represent concepts far greater than the words’ literal meaning or dictionary definitions. Understood symbolically, the term “Promised Land” is the certain PEACE of God’s Infinite Kingdom. Understood literally it is a certain infinitesimal PIECE of God’s Kingdom. The life you will experience depends on how you see the Promised Land. One vision produces an expanse of infinite possibilities. The other version produces a restricted area with blood soaked stains. I know which vision I prefer. Shalom.
40. Sorry
Scott ,   OK, USA   (07.19.06)
I reread the article and now realize that the children were Arab-Israelis. More congratulations are in order! No self-respecting Arab should ever cohabitate with Zionist dogs. Good shootin! That will show those weak Arabs the power of Allah! Brilliant! Those kids may have grown up and lived with Jews themselves and not want to kill them. Even worse, they may have grown up with Jews and realized that Jews are not that much different than themselves. It could have ignited a whole new peace process. Oh the horror! You must be so proud of those rockets.
41. #3 shame on you the arab "man" in italy !
stephane ,   france   (07.19.06)
all the civilians who dies in lebanon airstrikes it's because you,the arabs use your own women and kids as human shields ! you can't say NOTHING about israel,cause israel send leaflets over the places they will hit HOURS before they strike! and they do that because they are too human! so,you know why civilians are killed? when they try to leave their villages in south lebanon,the nazislamist of hezbollah fire on them to force them to stay in their home,they are not only the human shields of hezbollah; they are also their hostages ! shame on you arab!!! shame! shame! shame!...enjoy the truth,arab guy,because you will never find it in the news of the bootlickers country where you (and me) lives.
42. 28 ! hand up !
Talula ,   Israel   (07.19.06)
Actually, I am that ....... close to doing it. Not for Israeli Arabs, but I will most definitely start rejoicing in the streets and givng out sweeties for the filthy terrorists who are killed who attack my country.
43. 19 you are disgusting
yoel ,   ta   (07.19.06)
You are a racist pig for cheering the death of children. Stay in new york because we don't need you, rami is 10 times the israeli you will ever be.
44. By the way....
Scott ,   OK, USA   (07.19.06)
I wish no harm to the Lebanese people. Christian, Jew or Arab. Lebanon is a beautiful country with a diverse and friendly people. I was there a few years ago on a Mission trip. I visited Christian and Arab people and stayed with them in their homes. All of their hospitality and kidness was overwhelming. My problem is with the ferile group in your country known as Hizbullah. They have no right or business in your beautiful country. The are a group of Islamofacists bought and paid for by Iran and Syria. They care nothing about Lebanon. Their only concern is starting war with Israel, no matter the cost to Lebanon. That fat little imp named Nazaralah or whatever even said so yesterday. He said that he would rather see Lebanon in ashes before Hizbullah stopped fighting. How does that serve the well being of the good and peaceful people of Lebanon? It doesn't and they could care less. Your country is being bombed because Iran is to weak and spineless to face Israel on it's own. When Iran finally gets a nuke they will use it on Israel. Where do you think the radiation and sickness will flow to after an attack on Israel? Can you say Lebanon? Why do you harbor these dogs and give them free reign of your country? They mean you no good. You are just a means to Iran's goals. Kill them in the streets and tell the IDF where they are hiding so that you can be rid of them before Hizbullah gets its wishes and Lebanon is in ashes. For the love of GOD, please!

Ana ,   LONDON, ENGLAND   (07.19.06)
Yes, it is very painfull indeed .... I also feel so sorry for the parents.... but it would help if they would keep their children indoors or in a bomb shelter, rather than sending them out to play - since their are rockets going off all around them.
46. RE: #24
Ana ,   LONDON, ENGLAND   (07.19.06)
I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BEEN A FLY ON THE WALL TO HEAR WHAT THE ARABS HAD TO SAY ONCE YOU AND YOUR PARTY LEFT THEIR BUSINESS/HOME.
47. Post number 1
Alain ,   Montréal, Canada   (07.19.06)
Sorry buddy, a country that invades another and kills countless civilians for what...2 soldiers!! Lebanon was getting back it's feet and WHAM!!! I think Israel should undergo severe economic/political boycotts so they feel the consequence of their actions...this can not be left unpunished. Not saying that Hesbollah should not also be sanctionned...but they, also, have the right to defend themselves.
48. RE: # 29
ANA ,   LONDON, UK   (07.19.06)
YEAH.... YEAH.....IT IS QUITE DISTRESSING TO KNOW ARABS, PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU KNOW THAT THEY WILL ALWAYS RUN TO HIDE AMONG THEIR WOMEN AND CHILDREN. I THINK THEY HAVE THEIR TESTICLES CUT OFF BY THEIR MOTHERS WHEN THEY ARE BABIES AND DO NOT KNOW ANY BETTER.

LIBYAN GO BACK HOME AMONG YOUR OWN KIND - WHY ARE YOU IN ITALY WHEN YOU COULD BE IN LIBYA "THE CIVILIZED AND EDUCATED" COUNTRY
50. # 6 - Rami
Lauren ,   Israel   (07.19.06)
I speak as a Israeli Jew, when I say that my values, instilled in me by my good parents, is that human life is sacred, regardless of race, religion or creed. Those poor little boys who were killed today are children to me, and the sorrow I feel is the same sorrow that I feel about any innocent people dying because of war. My reaction to seeing their picture was the same as it would have been, had it been a picture of two Jewish boys. We all live here together, yet it is painful to realize that Israeli Arabs, who have been living here way before me, are thought less of. Life is life, and I would like to think that most of us do not want a war, or killings, destruction. I personally cannot bear the thought of Lebanese civilians being killed. I want you to know that many people here are just as sad about Christians and Muslims dying as they are about Jews. However, I do not feel the same about Palestinians. I used to, but not any more. Terrorists have lost all sense of life, they seek only to destroy it. Today, these two little angels were murdered by such terrorists. It is clear that they do not descriminate between Arabs and Jews in their violence.
51. Hizbullah, an army of MICE
sam johnson ,   ny, ny   (07.19.06)
whatever empty threats nasrallah makes toward israel, let us not forget that he fights like a mouse, scurrying around, hiding behind women, children and civlians
52. Number 42...this is for u!
Hopeless writter ,   Montreal   (07.19.06)
Maybe u should also give sweeties to Sharon that killed how many palestinians in refugees camp... Maybe China should just nuke the whole region so we can finally have real, continuous peace in the Middle-East. I mean, the Jewish people went through so many years of suffering and this is what they do...hahaha...such irony/hypocrisy.

BS meter ,   Canada   (07.19.06)
What exactly are Hezbollah protecting themselves from when they amass armaments and start firing rockets into Israel? It wasn't just two kidnapped soldiers, and if you don't know that then you aren't reading anything and are just spouting off the top of your head. It is pure propaganda, all this stuff about "oh, it was just a couple of kidnapped soldiers." Honestly, you make me want to go up the 401 to Montreal and give you...some books to read. It would probably be a waste of good gas.
54. #47 - are you on drugs
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (07.19.06)
How do you suggest they sanction Hizballah when the hide (cowardly) amongst normal people?
55. #41
Libyan Guy ,   Italy   (07.19.06)
you seam to be one of those freaks of Lapen racist party and i advise you to take care of the problems you have in your France, as you have 7 milion arabs there, not to remind you of your dirty history with Algeria & Marocco, at the end you went back home and you were kicked out and that was your truth that you never expected to see. by the way, i enjoyed so much the final of the world cup, FORZA AZZURRI & bye bye Zozu
56. #34
Libyan Guy ,   Italy   (07.20.06)
maybe you better also mentioned the Palestinean babies that were killed by your settlers in Gaza before bringing up the name of this victim of hate, that is bliding both sides. are Palestinean children animals or humans (maybe animals because not Jewish ???)
57. Nazareth - 2 children killed
Veronica ,   Perth   (07.19.06)
"My little brothers are shahids. That means they’re little kids who haven’t seen anything yet, so their place is in heaven,” Sorry buster. That's not the definition of shahids. Shahids are "heroes" who have killed and died for Islam. If that's what they are, then you should all be rejoicing at their deaths.
58. Piece, Peace, Pieces....What????
Scott ,   OK, USA   (07.20.06)
Dear Mr. Poet, Please email me so that I can send you an Old Testament, the Torah and the Koran. I think that you actually need to read at least on of the documents. While the whole Peace and Piece thing is very quaint, it would help that you actually had some knowledge of that which you speak. The revisionist "shutes and ladders" book from which you preach does not exist. Well maybe in your world. This is going to be like beating my head against a brick wall. The old saying is that "Only an idiot would debate one.", but...... Poets did not write the Bible or the Torah. Men inspired by the WORD of GOD wrote both. Big difference. Keats wrote poetry. Moses wrote the Book of Moses under God's influence. This is also true with the books of the Old and New Testament. Isaac was given the birth right not Ishmael. God showed Abraham the land that his pogeny would inherit someday. This was physical land not a some metaphorical liberal paradise. I could go on ad nauseum, but it would fall on deaf ears I fear. I know which vision you prefer. I also know which vision the son of perdition would prefer. Not that different mind you!
59. Why are there photos of the PLO Children?!?!?!
(07.20.06)
What the hell is this c**p? While I would never want to see Jewish bodies photos, why is there a double standard in showing arab casualties and not Jewish Israeli ones? WTF
