First of all, when i hear the word "butcher" i think about the hostages in Iraq (Nick Berg and others) Pakistan ( Daniel Pearl and others) that have been slaughtered with a butcher's knife by your animal friends. The fact is that civilians are killed on both sides. But here is the diferrence. Israel DOES NOT, NEVER DID AND NEVER WILL target civilians. our moral values are only one of the things that seperate us from you. The Hizbollah, Hamas and the rest of your terrorist gang deliberately target civilians. And unlike Israel that will express regret when innocent civilians are killed, you run around giving out candies as an expression of joy. you are nothing other than sick, babarians, animalistic human garbage!!!

in French?) 2 soldiers. 2 soldiers that were sons of two moms and dads. Maybe the fathers of children. Maybe being soldiers were the only jobs they could get. Maybe they were serving their two years of mandatory service to Israel. Maybe they had hopes and dreams and girlfriends and plans for the future............... AND THEN WHAM!!!!!!!! Minding their own business inside Israel a group of spinless terrorist come across the border and attack them. These terrorist kill 4 Israeli soldiers inside Israel and take the two survivors into Lebanon as hostages. They never expected this because Israel had pulled out of Lebanon years before and had the UN double check that they were out of the recognized borders of Lebanon. AND THEN WHAM!!!!!!! A french canadian surrender monkey has the gaul to question a sovereign country defending itself after all of its peace overatures to Lebanon and the Arab world. AND THEN WHAM!!! A french canadian poster makes a complete idiot out of himself by hoping that the victim of aggression is punished because he like his idol Jacque Chirac hates Jews as much as he does. WHAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Israeli Arabs getting hit need to wake up and join the IDF. I know civilians are getting killed on both sides. Yet these people have the nerve to claim Israel is "racist" and doesn't protect them when they can't even join the army to support the state that provides them with more than any Arab government ever could.

Where were you during the last Intafda? WTF? You didn't see the pictures of the twisted blood covered busses and the blown-out restaraunts in Israel. WTF????? Have you been living under a rock? WTF???? How many innocent people have to die before you get it? WTF???? What the hell is this c**p? WTF??????

Sorry Veronica, you've got it wrong. "Shahid" does not mean "terrorist" in Arabic (although it might be tantamount to that in English these days). The term "shahid" refers to a person who dies or is killed either whilst performing a religious duty (which is how the terrorists 'hijacked' the term) or innocently and before their time. Sort of like a "saint's" death or "martyr's" death in Christianity. That's all it means, and that's all these two little children's brother meant it to mean. That his brothers were innocents who died before their time. If you still disagree with him, then I pity you. I wonder how different this conflict would look if people bothered to take the time to understand the other side's language ... (and by the way, I'm a Jewish Israeli)

Thank you for the democracy that you brought to Iraq and hope that you will taste the same one day, as you did it already in 9/11. we alwyas were in the eyes of you yankes - Jews "sick, babarians, animalistic human garbage", so enjoy your Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon, as part of your Democratic Middle East and don't foget North Corea, Cuba, venezuela, Peru and the rest of the world that is not with you but againest you ... you are too blind to see the difference ...

that's democracy my dear, as you have to except the voice of the otherside, or where you expecting them to congratulate you for distroying their country for two of you stupid IDF soliders ??? Maybe Israel is not a Democracy, as if you are a Jew, you are awarded a passport and have all rights to live in Israel and also on occupied lands, what not since it there promissed land for the beloved people of IRael that god considers them humans and we are only monkeys and dog that serve them ... pathetic Jews that will always hide and live in fear, looking for the so wanted PEACE ... shalom and may god be mercyful with you.

There is no need for our puny egos to debate which vision is fulfilled? The final outcome will be the choice of God. Either a flash of enlightenment to reconcile Abraham's extended family, or a flash of destruction for those who fail to please Him. Moses had to do some fast talking in Exodus to stay His hand against the sons of Isaac. Neither my puny ego nor yours can presume to know what God finally decides. Since humans are made in the image of God, the fact that we revise plans in the course of arriving at a desirable outcome suggests to me God does the same. If God can't change His plans, then He is not all powerful. He is imprisoned by his earlier choices. That is a pretty puny supreme being to be in charge of an infinite universe.

Monkeys and dogs. I think that's the language Muslims use to describe Jews, not vice versa. Arab Israelis have Israeli passports. Brush up on a little reality. Speaking of reality, we all know the real "dreamlands" are all those great Islamic states. Everybody's rushing off to enjoy the pleasures of Sudan. To ride hte trains in Mumbai. To visit Indonesia. All places where Islamists have brought their own brand of peaceful living. Yes, indeed, Jews needn't feel they're alone....

Mr. Poet, Our debate was settled in Revelations of the New Testament. God can change His plans but He won't. A plan changing God would be about as useful as a flip-flopping John Kerry. People would have nothing certain to hold onto. I have no ego, the Holy Spirit guides me. In these times, He is my rock and my hope. I'm sure that you believe in a god too. He is probably pretty puny. The God of the Bible (YAWEH) says that He is the Great I Am. He is the same yesterday, today and tommorow. He does not change. He is not in charge of an infinite universe, HE CREATED IT. HE is all powerful. God Bless You and Keep You! May you one day find the truth and salvation that is Jesus Christ. Amen.

AGAINST ISRAEL. Israel has been targeting christian and catholics in beirut

I am fed up with all the racist comments, from both sides, on these talkbacks (e.g. #19 and 67). Demonising the "enemy" (iArab or Jew) can only engender more hatred and entrench each side into a more extreme position. If you do not have anything intelligent to contribute to the debate, then please keep quiet. You are wasting the time of people who sincerely want to become informed and enlightened by reading other people's opinions. If you already hold such an uncompromising position, then why are you even bothering to read these talkbacks?

The deaths of these precious children is just too sad. I am so angry at the Hizbulla that they are so callous, you would think they would not bomb the innocents but also at least their own people. These people know the composition of that city. I hope the Isreali govt will help this family. I am also very saddened about the deaths of the two brave and courageous young soldiers. My condolences to all three families although none of the families will see this, I just had to express it.

Dear St. Scott, How well do you forgive your enemies and how often do you look in the mirror for a plank in your eye? A Poet

I WOULDN'T SAY THIS IF I WERE YOU. YOU ARE NOT A TRUE CHRISTIAN. ISRAEL HAS NOTHING AGAINST CHRISTIANS AND YOU KNOW IT. YOU'RE PROBABLY POSING AS A CHRISTIAN JUST TO STIR TROUBLE. PLEASE DO NOT POLLUTE THIS WEBSITE AND GO ON THE ARAB ONES. THERE, YOU WILL FIND LOTS OF OTHERS LIKE YOURSELF WHO ARE BLINDED BY THEIR HATRED OF ISRAEL AND THE jEWISH PEOPLE.. IF YOU'RE REALLY A CHRISTIAN THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THE BIBLE SAYS THAT ANYONE WHO GOES AGAINST ISRAEL WILL BE SEVERELY PUNISHED BU G-D. JUST KEEP THIS IN MIND BEFORE YOU SPEW YOU POISON!

I value life,I value your life no less than I value mine. Yes many innocent people have been killed in Lebanon,but over the years,how many Israelis have lost their lives to terror attacks,and may lives of Israel citizens who are Arabs. If you think that we Israelis don't value your life, than I am sorry for you. What hurts me the most,you as an Arab,wonder if we value your life,when many of yours have helped terrorist get into Israel and how many have committed terrorist attacks against other Israelis. Remember one thing,who started this conflict last week?

Hezbollah's object is to kill everybody irrespective of whether they are Muslims, Jews, and other non-Muslims. The killing of two Arab children in Nazereth is a tragic reminder of the evil aims of this murderous Islamist fundamental movement. We all need to unite -Arabs, Jews and Christians to rout out this unwanted cancer in the Middle East. Sanity needs to return to this area so that we can all get on with the business of the right to survive without fundamental Islamist terror. There are many moderate Muslims who are suffering because of Hezbollah.

that is 2 killed not 3!!!!

Actually, they call us "Pigs And Monkeys " not "Monkeys And Dogs"......LOL

it is waste of life and property and it destroy our world

SO WHAT DO THEY CALL THE SUNDAY PEOPLE

why is aljazeera isnt showing anything of this ? aljazeera is only showing what israel makes for libanon and then show what hizzbolah makes for israel as an achieve. yedeot ahronot doesnt show what happens in libanon really. we live under manipulation of media from both sides.

War is the worst invent of the man, it kills children, no matter the nationality, its a serious sin seeing death and injuried chuldren scene. War sucks!

I am so angry when I saw some pictures of the victims of the war. Specially from the Lebanon's side. 1. I am so angry how can people still have time taking pictures the death children with their intestines out?? 8sorry), the children's body woithout head, etc. HOW COME they have a heart to take this kind of pictures? 2. I am angry first to Israel, but I am more angry to Hizbollah who use the civilian as their hiding place and blame Israel when they get killed!! Please Hizbollah, can you show your face and fight the Israel Army and fight in the open war zone, so both sides don't fire any civilian area! Stop hiding behind the women skirts and baby's diaper!
