Daisy ,   USA   (07.21.06)
It's good that Jews like money that is why they are so successful. You are just jealous because people like you come from poor filthy countries, that is why you are occupying Italy, who have to use the backyard as a toilet. LOSER!

7. I know who will repais this
Jack Abdo ,   Lebanon   (07.21.06)
Please visit http://fromisraeltolebanon.org and tell us who will pay to repair this. Sincerely I think that Israel is destroying Lebanese infrastructures and killing civilians than fighting the terrorists. WAR IS NOT A SOLUTION. This war is creating a new generation of people that will never forgive what happened... do you think that war will end after all what happened ? Anger and hate are growing inside Israelis and Lebanse. Do you think that this war will lead to peace ? I hope it will, but I don't belleive. The symbolic lawsuit will only increase hate.

of the world- come to Israel!!! A lifetime-job is guaranteed!!
9. To number 1 and the others
Eric ,   Israel   (07.21.06)
Most people like having money, both Jews and non Jews. However, unlike Iran and the Arab states which make 90% of their money from selling oil, Israelis make their money from being creative and hard working. Hizbollah started this war with Israel and is thus responsible for all the damage resulting from the war, both in Israel and in Lebanon.
10. To number 9
Jack ,   Lebanon   (07.21.06)
Please send us the bill to pay. Or wait.... don't bother yourself: Israel is paying istself by killing our childrens and destroying the few things we still have.
11. Then sue Hezbollah
Danny ,   Lebanon   (07.21.06)
Lebanese gov't has nothing to do this war. they're actually asking for a ceasefire. Israel is the state that won't agree to the cease fire. So sue Hezbollah and Iran for the less than million $ damages. and then the Lebanese can sue Israel for the billions of dollars in damages and lost lives! Enjoy... and keep making funny Israeli jokes. hahahhaa
12. Charge Lebanon for the salt
Yosef ,   NY, USA   (07.22.06)
That the IDF will spread over the soon to be wasteland formerly known as Lebanon. No more terror attacks will come from what was Lebanon because nothing will survive or grow again.
13. #9 excuse me?
Miky ,   NY, US   (07.22.06)
you israelies are doing this on your own, without my country USA, you will not find water to drink, food to eat, weapons to fight with...etc. you never admit our favors to you son of bit.ches
14. to #13
jason white ,   afula,israel   (07.22.06)
First of all do not call us "sons of Bitches",we are not your brothers. Did we ever deny that we are not in the debt of the U.S.? As for water to drink,it was there in the beginning.There are rivers here and the Kinneret,not to mention underground natural reseviors.Also we have our own desalinization plants.Food,we are an exporter.Weapons,we make our own tanks,rifles,missiles,misslile ships,ect.The U.S. even uses some of our weapon systems. Just like the U.S. stands by us,we stand by the U.S. P.S. I forgot to mention that we took out the iraqi nuclear reactor and the U.S. did not have to worry about saddam nuking the troops in the first gulf war.
15. Jewish Lawyers
Charles Allen ,   Charlotte, NC USA   (07.22.06)
I am on the side of Israel in this conflict. I pray without stopping for the peace of Jerusalem. However, I cannot pray for the peace of these impatient jewish lawyers!
16. #13 - Racist Mike
Ricardo ,   Spain   (07.22.06)
Mike inother strings you always ignore ideas and facts that don't fit your bigoted ideas. So again here. As I recall, Hamas first, followed by Hiz Bol-lah, struck into Israeli territory killed and captured guards men. Of course the rockets from Lebanon (and occasionoal from Gaza) continued but not reported by international press. Near-sighted Israeli PM finally saw that showing a weak hand to Arabs make them want to bite you, and changed tactics. Now you are shown for who you are - one of a small soul.
17. #13: hold on there fella...
Jesus ,   SF, USA   (07.22.06)
As far as self-maintaining...Israel can do that just fine on her own. The name calling, well, we can't help you on that one. You need to be sophisticated enough and civilized enough to maintain your emotions. Everyone isn't focusing on how these terrorist groups attacked Israel first. Israel isn't that innocent either, but truth be told...they're not the ones that started all this. The ones saying Israel this and Israel that should really start looking at themselves. It's very easy, VERY EASY, to blame others...but when you look at yourself...and give the thought a chance that it's not all Israels faught....you can't. Questions is, what can we do to help stop all this. First off, stop blaming others and work with your neighbors to help stop the fighting by rebuilding trust. It all starts with you. Second, don't push your beliefs on others, because if you do, all that's going to happen is...they will try to push THEIR beliefs on you, and you won't get anywhere. Live and let live. THIRD! Imagine the possibilities that you can create together! It might all seem like Koom-ba-ya "let's hold hands" kinda stuff...but the moment you start thinking that way...the possibily you wanted to create...dies. Your left with proving yourself right, that there is no chance of peace. So, I invite you to step out of your comfort zone, and start creating those posibilites. No matter how uncomfortable you might feel. Start promoting for peace, rather than hatred...it's going to be hard...but if you think about it...it's worth it.
18. I love Israel with all my heart but this is the STUPIDEST ..
Andy   (07.22.06)
thing I have ever heard....I will be in Israel next week for a couple of weeks - spending money at hotels and restaurants. But to sue Lebanon?? The country is on the way to being totally destroyed by the IDF and Israelis are preparing a lawsuit? Hang it up, lawyers. Let's just pray Hezbollah gets routed so these attacks and all of this violence isn't for nothing.
19. to number 9
Djazaïri ,   France   (07.23.06)
The zionist entity rely on an open credit granted by the German and US taxpayers who'll never see their money back.
20. it's simbolic and good because the ...
nelson faier ,   rio de janeiro   (07.23.06)
exactly it's not like it seems at first sight that truely and most suffering lebanon is the only one. We have human and material losses too which are not to be denyed just for lebanon's losses are bigger. It's usually stressed in press that israel overreacted for "just 2 soldiers kidnapped and 8 others killed" but the true is that israel don't want to coexist with a private organization helding thousands of missiles pointed at him, on his border. If i had a neighbor stocking anything inflamable next door I could call the police here. And if you want to equal the right of private hizballah to israeli state on having missiles claiming they are lebanese resistance then bear israeli bombing as something fair. But I myself truely regrett lebanese suffering and say they don't deserve it. By the way, if someone hits with his car an urban equipment here he is sued by the state even if he dies or get disabled. It's not juridical absurd, although it really seems to be.
21. to number 10
Bob ,   St. Louis   (07.23.06)
The you shouldn't have let Hezbollah establish itself in your country. Just like always. Muslims say they don't agree with terrorism, but they just won't speak up. Cowards. Israel is just defending themselves from people who say they want them eliminated.
22. to number 19
Bob ,   St. Louis   (07.23.06)
Racist bastard. I would like to kick your ass....in Israel's name.
23. Compensation claim against Lebanese government in works
Toole ,   Pickering, Canada   (07.24.06)
What a bunch of bloodsucking idiots! They have the gut to squeeze money from the victim when it is the provocateur in chief (Israel) that should be lambasted.
24. #13
jason ,   usa   (07.24.06)
israel is consider US most favored ally ever!
25. How disgraceful of the Zionists
truth4all ,   Pennsylvania, USA   (07.24.06)
This is beyond belief. What total gall. The Zionists will burn in Hell for the torture and death that they have done to innocent women, children, and even infants. Wild dogs are eating the bodies because it's too dangerous for them to be brought to a proper burial. How do any of you sleep at night? Also, don't buy into the insanity that anyone but Israel started this genocide. It was deliberately started by Israel sending its vulnerable troops into Lebanon in order to be captured and killed as an excuse to start this maniacal genocide. Instead of learning from the Nazis not to commit genocide, you have learned from them to deliberately commit genocide - just as the English learned the same thing from the Romans.
26. Creativity...to kill
Pedro ,   Portugal   (07.24.06)
Don't forget the 5 billions $ support from the USA... The war began because the Palestinian land has been stolen, remember...?
27. Antisemitism
Bob Sorenson ,   Los Angeles, U.S.   (07.25.06)
How ironic: Jews get a homeland after 2000 years and now they are using it to live up to every antisemieitc stereotype out there. Israel's actions have caused me to truly consider the truth of anti-Jew rhetoric; this story only confirms that rhetoric as correct.
28. Law Suit
Richard ,   Atascadero, Ca. USA   (08.06.06)
The only one thing man has created from nothing is MONEY, and intrest on the money.It is a well astablished fact that there is money to be made from war, and lots of it.If there is a buck to be made, a lawyer will surly find a way.I am asking people to join with me at this time in bringing a law suit againest the war mongers for untold emotional stress and discomfort. I know there must be a good lawyer out there somewhere that can assist me and others in this endeavor. No, This Is No Joke!
29. Then get the hell out
Lydia ,   NY, USA   (08.11.06)
If you don't want to coeexist with an organisation that you created by your big foot stomping occupation and violations of all UN implemented laws to regulate you all, then get the hell out of the region and stop complaining to us like ur the only and perpetual victims. We are sick and tired of hearing you people whining about being the victim of all the world's hatred. And advice, take what we gave you ( that u lost when u want to europe), stay out of other peoples countries( that includes all ur tiny settlements), stop ur neo-colonisation and follow all the( I forgot the count, they are so many ) UN resolution that you play a deaf ear to while asking others to follow it. Life is not that easy. You cannot want to have it all and give nothing back people.
30. Reparation
