1. begin another chapter
zov ,   rosenberg, tx   (07.23.06)
Yes, begin another chapter. Complete indefinite time occupation of the strip south of Litani. Create huge artillery test ranges, bases and military farms slowly replaced by civilians. Regular exerises in bombing, and troops movement. Create multiple targets tempting Hizbula to die trying to disloge them. Transfer most of armed forces in this zone. Plan fo stay for the next 200-300 years till the peace agreement with the whole world of haremic democracies.
2. You make it. We break it. You fix it. Out. Repeat as needed.
Paqid 16, Netzarim ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (07.23.06)
The only long-term solution is to sanitize a buffer zone and declare widely that armed militias or arms caches threatening Israel in the buffer zone will be fired on [a] immediately upon discovery, [b] with DISproportionate force and [c] without further warning. Civilians who don't want to become peripheral damage must prevent such threats or move a safe distance from them to prevent becoming human shields. That goes double for any UN "peacekeeping" force that allows attacks on Israel then attempts to prevent retaliation. We must become aggressively, insistently and persuasively defensive. Every attack must be punished by DISproportionate, crushing and unbearable surgical destruction.

4. FUHHIT - GO NUCLEAR AND HAVE NO REGRETS
ANDREW ,   MIAMI,FL   (07.23.06)
IF ISLAM IS SO INTENT ON HUNTING ISRAEL TO EXTINCTION - LET THEM JOIN US
5. This is the solution !
Mike   (07.23.06)
Didnt you try that before ? you stayed in south of lebanon for 20 years ! what did you do ? You withdrew with great casualities. Why dont you try to solve the problem from the root! Ask your self .. Why there is a resistance in lebanon - or call it whatever you want- ? give them back thier land .. give them Chibaa lands .. give them back thier prisoners of war .. do that and live in peace. Admit it .
6. talk now is of wide buffer zone manned by NATO
michael ,   tel aviv & london   (07.23.06)
And a NATO force checking the Syria - Lebanon. It goes without saying that NATO would be far preferable to the UN
7. What if?
James ,   Glasgow, Scotland   (07.23.06)
Israel should and probably has got into talks with the Maronite and Druze factions of Lebanon to stay out of any conflict with the IDF. This will be important once Hezbollah are driven from the field and probably back into Syria, because if Lebanon is to be rebuilt it will only do so with Israeli acceptance. Then and only then can we begin to think of winning hearts and minds, that is when the disease that made them ill is eradicated. Until then anyone raising an arm of defiance should be treated as enemy and dealt with as an enemy. That begins with stone throwers upwards regardless of age or gender. Hard, yes, but when they can shout kill Jews, strap on bombs or throw missiles in the name of their god let that god have them immediately. As for Hezbollah, they should be chased wherever they try to rest, even in Syria or Iran, even if all Lebanon needs to be brought down.
8. #7 James , Glasgow, Scotland
Mike   (07.23.06)
Is this available on the Playstation 2 or 1 ?
9. #3 It's too easy
Jeff ,   Philadelphia, USA   (07.23.06)
Phinix: Hizbullah's (Iran's) clearly stated goal is to destroy Israel, not to force Israel out of Shibaa. The prisoners are murderers of civilians and shoul not be free. The UN says Israel has been completely out of Lebanon (at least until Hizbullah entered Israel, killed 8 soldiers and kidnapped 2). I wish you were correct; it would be easy.
10. to #3
Itzik ,   Haifa   (07.23.06)
Do you really think that most Jews are so stupid? We are not but we haved learnt the easy way who you are (if you have attacked 2 years later, after Olmert's convergence, probably several thouthand Israelis have died in one week. Now we lost 25 and will loose another 25 civilians before Hizbullah will be killed and non-Christians, non-Druse will be totaly destroyed.
11. #5 OK, we'll send those POWs right over to you
Haifa, Israel   (07.23.06)
and you can find out why we wouldn't release them back into the world. Have a nice death.
