31. Hey everyone, #24's nephew can fly planes!!!
DR ,   Florida, USA   (07.20.06)
Hopefully not into buildings!!! Israel has destroyed your people in war many times. It is a tiny nation, but still has more strength than all the Arab nations combined...why is that? And why is it that you conveniently forget history???
32. Joe from Beirut...
Neil ,   USA   (07.20.06)
Excuse me Joe, but you have things backwards. Your buddies in Hezbollah are the cowards hiding behind the walls of women and children (typical ARAB tactics since they always run from a REAL battle....look at your history of losses since the time of your prophet mohammed)...and we learned from the second failed intifada that Israeli's KNOW when to enter towns and cities to root out these scum faux soldiers. In reality, if you want to support Hezbollah as you wrote, clearly more of your innocent citizens will die because of your inability to stand up like a REAL nation to evict a mercenary army within. In fact, your country is in violation of Security Council resolutions ever since the withdrawal of Israel from your south....so, take responsibility for your own fate man. It is sad and pathetic, but the real cowards here are inside Lebanon, not being able to stand up to this band of radical Islamists who eventually will destroy Lebanon as YOU know it and turn it into a Taliban state (or vassal of Iran.....that example of Islamic rule!). Cowards....not in Israel, but on your side of the border.
33. Its funny
Mishe Mohem ,   3rd Rock   (07.20.06)
It is funny how you guys are looking away from the fact that the IDF (Israel dastard forces) are loosing on ground. It's must be very painful to see your troops falling one after the other. You have killed sofar more than 300 civilians and you will pay the price. If the IDF is that strong with such a mythical powers as you all claim then why are you loosing. I'm Anti-hizballah totally, but you are just one coward soldiers who can only kill civilians. Only time will till how wrong and blind you are.
34. A Syrian Jew, For all of you antisemitic morons.
Alan ,   USA   (07.20.06)
First for #2, and 3. You R the same person. You are 100000% No isreali. An Israeli would know how to spell his PM's name right. Also You would know how to spell where you live correct, It is "Ramat Gan" not "Ramt Gan". You Morons, You are waiting unpatiently for an article like this, so you can start bitching. This is a WAR what do u expect only lebanese will be killed, no there will be casualties both sides, but B''H look at the ratio. That tells you enough who is winning. Also, when your press calls them Civilians, they should refrase it to Terrorists, because they all are launching rockets from their house. They hide the rockets under their children's beds. They are pitty-less. so they deserve whats coming to them. As for your leader Nassar where is he? is he still hiding by now, or is he enjoying the 72Virgins, i beleive he is enjoying his 72 levels of hell, if not, he will pretty soon. If you say we are loosing, guess what your Iranian Monkey, just sent a letter to Germany, begging for a cease fire. Just give Isreal Time, They will proove it to you all. Israel just began their ground at the border. Yom Kippur war Isreal got a beating the 1st few days, when YOU ANTI- surprised them, but guess what happened later, Sharon Deffeated you. and when i was back in Syria. (Im a Syrian Jew) They showed a pictured on TV of an IDF Soldier with the Isreali Flag sittting on a rock with a Banner on top of him that said "Damascus 10KM" So now talk about IDF Ground Invasion.

36. ARABS: READ THESE FACTS AND ENJOY

ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM FACTS 1. ISRAEL BECAME A STATE IN 1312 B.C., TWO MILLENNIA BEFORE ISLAM; 2. ARAB REFUGEES FROM ISRAEL BEGAN CALLING THEMSELVES "PALESTINIANS" IN 1967, TWO DECADES AFTER (MODERN) ISRAELI STATEHOOD; 3. AFTER CONQUERING THE LAND IN 1272 B.C., JEWS RULED IT FOR A THOUSAND YEARS AND MAINTAINED A CONTINUOUS PRESENCE THERE FOR 3,300 YEARS; 4. FOR OVER 3,300 YEARS, JERUSALEM WAS THE JEWISH CAPITAL. IT WAS NEVER THE CAPITAL OF ANY ARAB OR MUSLIM ENTITY. EVEN UNDER JORDANIAN RULE, (EAST) JERUSALEM WAS NOT MADE THE CAPITAL, AND NO ARAB LEADER CAME TO VISIT IT; 5. JERUSALEM IS MENTIONED OVER 700 TIMES IN THE BIBLE, BUT NOT ONCE IS IT MENTIONED IN THE QUR'AN; 6. KING DAVID FOUNDED JERUSALEM; MOHAMMED NEVER SET FOOT IN IT; 7. JEWS PRAY FACING JERUSALEM; MUSLIMS FACE MECCA. IF THEY ARE BETWEEN THE TWO CITIES, MUSLIMS PRAY FACING MECCA, WITH THEIR BACKS TO JERUSALEM; 8. IN 1948, ARAB LEADERS URGED THEIR PEOPLE TO LEAVE, PROMISING TO CLEANSE THE LAND OF JEWISH PRESENCE. 68% OF THEM FLED WITHOUT EVER SETTING EYES ON AN ISRAELI SOLDIER; 9.

SOME 630,000 ARABS LEFT ISRAEL IN 1948, WHILE CLOSE TO A MILLION JEWS WERE FORCED TO LEAVE THE MUSLIM COUNTRIES; 11. IN SPITE OF THE VAST TERRITORIES AT THEIR DISPOSAL, ARAB REFUGESS WERE DELIBERATELY PREVENTED FROM ASSIMILATING INTO THEIR HOST COUNTRIES. OF 100 MILLION REFUGEES FOLLOWING WORLD WAR 2, THEY ARE THE ONLY GROUP TO HAVE NEVER INTEGRATED WITH THEIR CORELIGIONISTS. MOST OF THE JEWISH REFUGEES FROM EUROPE AND ARAB LANDS WERE SETTL ED IN ISRAEL, A COUNTRY NO LARGER THAN NEW JERSEY; 12. THERE ARE 22&n bsp;ARAB COUNTRIES, NOT COUNTING PALESTINE. THERE IS ONLY ONE JEWISH STATE. ARABS STARTED ALL FIVE WARS AGAINST ISRAEL, AND LOST EVERY ONE OF THEM; 13. FATAH AND HAMAS CONSTITUTIONS STILL CALL FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL. ISRAEL CEDED MOST OF THE WEST BANK AND ALL OF GAZA TO THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY, AND EVEN PROVIDED IT WITH ARMS; 14. DURING THE JORDANIAN OCCUPATION, JEWISH HOLY SITES WERE VANDALIZED AND WERE OFF LIMITS TO JEWS. UNDER ISRAELI RULE, ALL MUSLIM AND CHRISTIAN HOLY SITES ARE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL FAITHS; 15.

38. A Generation that SUCKS!!!!
Paul   (07.20.06)
Hi Allow me, a christian so called "arab" to tell u what u need to feel at these moments. It hurts me alot to see this generation of israelis, who talks about defeat , a demoralized spirit, no trust in god nor in the history of their people. If this generation was at the war of 1948 no israel would ever exist!!! Look back to the history of your country, the braveness of ur ancestors, their determination, and their sacrifices, the futur of israel is not a game, and is not sth to take risk over, its the sweat the blood and the souls of ur ancestors. Wake up!!! its war, and its normal that the israeli army will get some losses, its not the end, remember ur fighting a terrorist organization, that had 6 years to prepare all its satanic ways to destroy israel with all the money that they need covered by the government of lebanon. All what hiz-ZBALLA is doing now, is putting the maximum of the maximum that he can, and so far i dont see anything impressive in what he is doing, compare to the threats that rat nasralla used to barke. Ur giving a big help to enemy by saying sth like "Ulmert & Pertz, SHAME ON YOU " or that a**h**le who said "Israel loosing on ground ", nice propaganda for the hiz-ZBALLA ur doing. Wake up guys!! Read again the history of the jews, if they were like this generation, the word "jew"disapeared long time. ISRAEL WILL WIN, ITS A MATTER OF TIME!!!
39. to #29
Leo ,   Canada   (07.20.06)
ok... but... 1. Where is your hero Nasralla? Hiding or got killed 2. what happened today? Hezbollah attacks goes down, they are very chaotic now 3. you just lost in ground fighting. Your propaganda shows some "Israelli" staff on TV. Ok, but are you 100% sure that it is real, did you sow that ground by your own? 4. yes, Israel lost their solders, but it is a war. So, now who is loosing war? check you history, I can't see any victories against Israel Israel never lost before and will never lost in a future
40. israel must stop !!!!
Carl ,   USA   (07.20.06)
none of the Hizbullah targets were hit yet, IDF are fighting Ghosts lol , they don't know where to hit or what to do , today they fought inside avivim lol, it seems that hizbullah's turn to occupy israel lol , if Olmert don't stop it now next week u'll be ruled by hizbullah WOW this is something
41. #29 Naz -We want to hear Nasrallah
Marcel ,   Florida   (07.20.06)
Not some old taped speech but something about the fight today. Where is he ? The pimple on the ass of Lebanon ? Has anyone heard from the Sheikh Hassan lately ? Could it be he took a ride to paradise and was hijacked to hell where he is not very happy ,having found out that the Creator of the Universe is Jewish. Talk about a bad beard day for the pimple on the ass of Lebanon. You really should take care of this pimple before it poisons the whole body and mind.Or maybe it's too late for Lebanon to be cured of this pimple ?
42. BELIEVING IN HIZBALLAH PROPAGANDA
Amram L ,   Netherlands   (07.20.06)
Sjeez is can't believe how many people here believe is the media-trash that hizballah is releasing to the world! Only one dead terrorist? BULLSHIT.No-one hit in that "so-called-mosque" in beirouth? BULLSHIT. there are lots more. only nobody will gonna check that because they are overthere.
43. To talkbackers in the US
Mowaten Araby   (07.20.06)
Maybe you can teach the IDF the pain of loosing on the ground as to the US troops in Iraq. The myth of the IDF as an army never defeated is gone with the wind. This small group of resistants are imposing all this pain on your soldiers. Hell open your doors, more of them (children and women killers) are coming.
44. To #42
Dima   (07.20.06)
Yeah i agree with you... So many people belive what Hezbolla says... Accoring to them they lost 6 soldiers... Today 40 of them died in a battle 40!. They are just hiding casulties to cover their face and tell the world about their "great victory".
45. Amram #42, Joe #25
BS meter ,   Canada   (07.20.06)
Amram -- True. I am reminded of Saddam's rousing communiques. The only victories people like this enjoy is when they fight from the balconies of private homes, wihtout uniforms, without falling any remote rules of decency. Joe in Beirut -- Those are terrible pictures, I agree. And each and every one of them is the fault of your beloved Hezbollah. They live for blood and death.
46. FaceGoat NAS-ZABRA!!
Paul   (07.20.06)
Here again, i wanna add sth, i cant understand hw come the goat face nasralla (sorry goat) is suddenly appear so calm, while a month ago he was jumping on the screen like a monkey. I am sure that the lost of the hi-ZBALLA is way bigger than they r showing, and alot of the so-called civilians death are in fact terrorist. Patience ISRAEL!! u will PREVAIL!!!
47. to #31 and #32
joe ,   Lebanon   (07.21.06)
First of all I'm not muslim and my people are the Lebanese people and not the arab nation. Stop trying to deviate from the main point. #32 was wondering how come Israel defeated all the arabs and is still strong, well my dear Israel did not defeat all the arabs, they defeated 3 countries. It wasn't Israel's might back then, it was the US weaponry and money that tipped the balanced to your side. At the time that you might have defeated some arab countries, you got humiliated in Lebanon. With our humble military equipment and small size we were able to fight back couragously throughout the 80s and 90s till we kicked you out of what your generals like to call "Lebanese swamps". Mind you all this with weaponry not even comparable to what the USA provides you with. One of you was talking about Hizballah destroying Lebanona nd turning it into an Islamic R. Well one and for all, ITS none of your f**king business what we do in Lebanon. It's not like you aren't already destroying our country. You destroyed it several times and we always manage to turn it into a place better than Israel. We dont get 1/10 of the aids you get from the USA and we still manage to build back our country and welcome millions of tourists all year round. Despite all your bombing and your hatred and your denying us of our basic human rights to live, Lebanon will stay forever the PEARL of the middle east., wether you like it or not. Go around the world and ask about us and see how much we are loved, unlike you.
48. Check Nasrallah on the News Jazeera
Naz   (07.21.06)
Check the interview with Nasrallah on the news.. and later this nite it will b full broadcasted .. do u really think hezbollah leaders are sitting in buildings & waiting to b an easy target ?? ...oh come on guys .. i wont b surprised that they r 40 m under the ground .. and for those who don't believe about the ground fighting .. the days will show who is right about it .. do u think hezbolla used all its rockets power ?? do u think its all that hezbollah got ?.. nasrallah dont use its full power direclty like israel did from the 1st days & destroyed everything.. still more "surprises" like nasrralah said it will come .. i wana remind you once again am against this whole war.. but as a lebanese being slaughtered by israel .. i cant stay quite .. coz what israel is doing is not just abt the 2 soldiers..
49. how you can help israeli soldiers
jonny ,   london   (07.21.06)
Hi, I created a small site to send messages to Israeli soldiers. www.supportben.com Help make a difference to someone thanks
50. #38
poppy ,   Israel   (07.21.06)
Paul your words are like pearls I wish every one would read your words of wisdom. The youth of today are spoilt, and soft. Pampered and Mommy's boys I wish we would have MEN to fight our enemies as in 1948 You are so right.
51. Its all been decided by George Bush, implemented by Olmert.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (07.21.06)
George Bush wants to see a terrorist cult be destroyed, it pays back the muslims for 9/11 and it lifts up the president in the polls and also the Republican Party which could lose its majority in both the house and the senate. Cut and dried, this operation is for George Bush and the Republicans. Half of hez-bull-ah has been destroyed and Condom liza Rice will not be sent over until almost all of hez-bull-ah is destroyed. Then Israel will have to pull back a lot. All the muslims that were cheering at 9/11 are finding out that their beloved terrorists can have their own 9/11, a gift from George Bush. Generally Bush is a horrid piece of crap, but in this particular operation, he is as slick as butter in a hot frying pan. Be happy, don't worry, Bush wants Israel to win this one 100%. Just try to keep the dead "civilians" down to a minimmum and success is yours.
52. Bush thinks he's fighting terrorists
Lil ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (07.21.06)
Unfortunately, Bush is not that smart. As until now more than 300 people have died in Lebanon, 6 of them from Hezbollah and the other 294 are civilians. On the other hand, 29 people died in Israel, 14 of them are Israeli soldiers. Do the math, Israel claim it is doing this to bring back the 2 Israeli soldiers, however it lost 7 times this so far. Israel is fighting terrorism, well unless Hezbolla fighters are only 12 of them, then it didn't really kill half so far. Israel is weaker on ground, and with the air strikes the only thing accomplished was destruction of Lebanese infrustructure, and death of innocent civilians. I don't know about you, but I hope the war stops before more people in my country die, and our economics get worse, if it's possible. Note that there are Lebanese prisoners in Israel we would like back. P.S. I am not a Hezbollah fan, but I am pretty sure they're not terrorists, they're a resistence. But of course, they're the ones who have started this, but Lebanon does not deserve this AT ALL, no country does.
53. To Marcel from Florida
Lil ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (07.21.06)
I wish you have Al Jazeera, because unless Nasrallah is pshycic and he knows what's gonna happen in the future therefore prepare answers in his "prepared" tapes then ... I guess it is really him talking. You need to have Channels such as Al Jazeera and Al Horra to see what is really happening, this is my recommendation to everyone.
54. In a dark time the eye begins to see.
World Citizen ,   the world   (07.21.06)
What is holding Israel ground forces back? It's certainly not their lack of complete control of the skies. Nor their lack of armor or personnel. And since the missles they seek to destroy are not tactical but strategic the IDF couldn't be afraid of the Quassams. Where are the boots on the ground? Has Olmert begun to lose his nerve? Has the loss of ten or twelve soldiers shaken him? Or has the fact that the world in general is beginning to understand the true nature of Israeli intentions that has the warmongers second guessing their mistakes of the past week? Israelis should understand that the lies they tell so frequently are not fooling anyone. End your naked aggression and bargain in good faith if you ever expect peace to come.
55. Paul the monkey-faced traitor
Joe ,   Lebanon   (07.21.06)
Paul, I'm sorry to tell you that your wishes won't come true. Nasrallah was so calm and confident tonight. He gave lots of confidents and morale to the resisting people of Lebanon (not you of course). It is not only you who doesn't like Hizballah and their weapons, but I guess your mind is too thick for you to learn from history. When we are in war, learn to stick together, coz after all we will all pay the price together. After it stops we will blame whoever needs to be blamed starting with Hizballah of course. Meanwhile you can keep on dreaming and reading some encouraging statements on here for you and your likes. Get a life.
56. our enemies hate us more than they love their children
ester ,   ny , us   (07.21.06)
Golda Meir has said years ago that we wil have to fight these terrorists until they love their children more than they hate us. they have no problems sending their children out to kill us every day, they die but as long as we die with them they are happy, how sick is that? Its absolutely disgusting! Hizbolla is hiding behind civilians, they dont care if they all die as long as they get some of our Jews in Israel.
