i know she is only one person affected, but i'd really like to know if she comes through. please follow up.
2. A cheap shot by IDF soldiers...
Reality ,   Lebanon   (07.22.06)
Its obvious that an IDF soldier was reponsible for this. Given the IDF/IAF track record civlians are the number one target.
3. Humanity--a one way street!

Being of Egyptian Arab Muslim stock, it is only after my parents came to Canada that they had the peace of mind to be able to think reasonably and objectively about the middle east situation. They started to realize that Arab countries with huge land masses wanted to wrestle a tiny strip of land from the Jews. They wondered if it were really worth the blood and hatred incurred to obtain that bit of land. They decided not. Also they realized the Palestinians had no land in the first place to claim and wondered why Jordan, Saudi Arabia or their other Arab brothers would not take them in. I have found many more questionable behaviors and motives with the Arab or terrorist cause and have re-thought the situation and concluded that since the Jews had given up so much for peace and that Arafat, a fellow countryman of my parents, ashamedly never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity for peace, that he did not really want peace until Israel belonged to he and his fellow terrorists. Yes reasonableness and the love of peace are becoming a hallmark of the Israelis. However they have been naive in the past expecting too much from a people who do not want peace and the only communication they give is from the barrel of a gun. How civilized and compassionate of your people to care for the injured Lebanese woman and other Arabs in your hospitals. Would they do the same? I think not. I do regret the loss of live of innocents in Lebanon, however they had been fairly warned for years to rid themselves of Hizbollah. Their sad condition now is a result of their non-compliance in this. I have followed stories of fellow Arabs that have seen that Israel is not the root of the problem, but is the innocent victim in the middle east. One such man is an ex terrorist Walid Shoebat who embraced Christianity and changed his views toward the Jews and instead of hating Israel, he now loves all things Jewish and Israeli. There are others who have similar experiences at: www.shoebat.com. I'm sure you will find it an interesting site. Also www.freelebanon.org is another site that will encourage you. I hope your courage finds the peace it is looking for in the future. Yasser.
4. More encouragement!
yasser_2 ,   Toronto, Canada   (07.23.06)
This is an encouraging website for all except Hibollah and other terror groups who persecute Israel. Yasser.
5. Whoops!
yasser_2 ,   Toronto, Canada   (07.23.06)
I forgot to include this intersting and encouraging web address for you at the risk of upsetting any of my so-ca;;ed Arab brothers who post comments also. That is a risk I will take to show I believe in justice for Israel. www.free-lebanon.com

7. Jews have respect for life! If our enemies would
(07.23.06)
only learn that value - well, we would have a much more peaceful region, to say the least.

Thank you! If only there were more people like you. Israel doesn't ask for much, just peace. Unfortunately, like you put it...some people just don't know anything other than force. Sadly, sometimes force does bring understanding. Thanks for the awesome site! It gives people hope!

Michael A. Gold ,   El Paso, Texas   (07.23.06)
Yasser, unfortunately among some of my own people (Jews) are as stiff-necked as the Hezbollah. I am ashamed that Israeli children are being shown the ways of war. Recent pictures and reports of Israeli children writing notes on bombs. The persons in the IDF who thought of this idea should be court-martialed. What you wrote is the whole truth and nothing but the truth. We (Arabs and Jews) share a common ancestor that being Abraham, because of that I sincerely believe that Ishmael was first born for 2 reasons. 1 to be a Father of many nations. 2 to be the protector of his little brother Issac and his descendants. The map of the Middle East clearly shows this. May I suggest that you view this website--www.noabaum.com Her point is simple--We (Arabs and Jews) have only one option left and that is to seek peace between us. Although I have a question to those who wish to destroy both the descendants of Abraham. And that question is---Once the Arabs and Jews kill each other off, who gets the oil??? May G-D bless you, your family and all those who seek peace for and between our 2 families. Shalom Alechem (Peace unto you) my friend and cousin.
10. Irony
David ,   Tel Aviv   (07.23.06)
The Irony is Jews and Arabs are more closely related yo eachother than the PersiansIranians! SOme day, maybe not in our lifetime, we will all get along.

yasser, great to hear your comments, we would be able to sit down have a beer and agree to disagree and walk away with respect for each other, thanks
13. Save 1 kill 350... The IDF looking for media sympathy ?
The Media ,   Israel   (07.23.06)
I dont mean to bag our forces but this is just one of the many tactics employed by the IDF in their propaganda war. I will be impressed if she lives. I remember something like this happening before when a Palestinian woman was injured(gaza), the IDF took her to be treated, but she later died due to "serious injuries". And about 6 years ago an arab woman was caught in a rock slide, somehow the IDF managed to evacuate all the jews but the arab woman was "out of reach". They have killed too many people already to try and save face now.
14. It was Israel that killed 350 innocents
Agop ,   Yerevan   (07.23.06)
It is just Israel attack force's P&R. World is not blind to reality. Adopt more foxy means to deceive people
15. One act of kindess does not bring redemption!
Ron Steinberger   (07.23.06)
Okay, you win, you have assisted one lebanese civilian, only because your conscience got the better of the IDF because it was their bullet.....dont BS and suggest it was Hizibullah. What can you do for all the other Lebanese civillians, those of the dead mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, husbands and wives. Would you spend some of your precious military funds from the US to rebuild the lebanese infrastructure, for turning the country back 20 years, for collective punishment. The hatred that your state sponsored terrorism has spawned would only mean that the snakes head will regenerate each time you attempt to cut it off. Congratulations on your foreign policy, you wont get peace until you really deserve it, and everything has shown you don't.
