1. STOP WAR NOW!
Ehud ,   Hiroshima, JAPAN   (07.24.06)
Israel is loosing so many soldiers on the front. This is the first time in our history that we loose so many soldiers in a battle. This is heading now where!! The only way to reach peace is to stop war. We should give Lebanon Government what they are asking. Shebaa farms, mines maps, prisoners of war... What do we loose by giving them these things? STOP WAR NOW!
2. ...but also 9 Katyusha launchers destroy by IDF !!!

Boris   (07.24.06)
Your thoughts of giving land back are useless. You must understand that these creatures only understand force and force is what they will recieve. We must fight not just this battle but for our right to live in peace.
5. IDF said Maroun al-Ras under control ????
Hanzala ,   Jerusalem-Palestine   (07.24.06)
This is the price when your IDF is going to control just part of Lebanon. Imagine what would be the price when go further.........? Regards, J

Joseph ,   Malta   (07.24.06)
Please understand that these people are from a culture that can only undersatnd violence. Their religion was born in violence and cannot survivie withour it. They are bent on the distrcution of the state of Israel. Remember that Hashem Chose that Land for Jews. It is called the Promised Land. If you have a Bible look up the maps and you shall see what G-d has in mind. One inch less is not in His will. You give what you suggest? its suicide. Study Isalm and you will be able to understand better. Thanks for reading.

what do we loose???? we loose everything! even if we give them what they want, they will NEVER give us peace!! which is why we have to stop giving in and fight back!!! WE CANNOT STOP THE WAR NOW!! this is heading somewhere because finally the arabs are starting to see that the israelis will not let them blow them up all the time with no consequence! now they are seeing, and feeling, and soon their weapons will be gone, they will have nothing else and they will loose! because they are not really doing it to protect themselves! they are doing all this to kill and destroy! but the israelis are defending thier country! their people! there a certain love / bond in the israeli jewish people, that the lebanize will never have. and that is why we are going to win this war!!!

Can't you see that it's useless to continue war? since 48 you are making war in the region... that will last for centuries. Your government is cheating on you. How long you gonna be the slaves of USA, executing their plans? they ordered you to execute by force the 1559 resolution and look where you are heading to. Thank you Ehud from Japan. People like you can make peace. I am a lebanese and don't mind to make peace with israel but we need to be equal. Our land and prisoners are our rights to ask for. You know well that hezbollah would not attack you if those conditions are fullfilled by Israel. You prefered war... ON CIVILIANS!!! it's a shame
10. Our IDF Angels
Talula ,   Israel   (07.24.06)
As always, my thoughts and my love are with you. Be proud, you are doing one hell of a job there.
11. Maybe when Israel looses 100 IDF soldiers it will....
(07.24.06)
seek ceasefire! Why wait to destroy 100+ Israeli families lives before stopping the war! Sad... very sad.
13. Stop Killing the Children!!!!
Shalom ,   Tel Aviv   (07.24.06)
i wish that israelis get back to their senses and stop the evil they are doing in the region,give people their rights and stop being selish and arrogant ,,,,then all your troubles will go away and peace will prevail

israel   (07.24.06)
Im sick and tired of all of u people thinking u have a right to judge us. Its easy to talk from far away. Come here and then see how u change ur mind in a day, when u actually see the real truth. The difference between the Jews and the Arabs are that we dont go crying to the media and thats why u all are sympathetic to them.We did not start this war and we dont want it, but we dont have a choice. We are defending our country while all hizballah is trying to do is destroy Israel.IDF is doing an amazing job. My heart goes out to all those who have been hurt and to the families of those who have died, on both sides. The lebanese people arent to blame, the hizballah is and unfortunatly the lebanese people are caught in the middle. IDF and to all the people in the north, you are all brave and we are very proud of u. Keep being strong.
15. #12 good message
Rustum ,   London, UK   (07.24.06)
Kids writing messages on bombs to kill Lebanese children - that seems to be what Zionism is all about nowadays - and the blind idiots inside Israel refuse to see any equivalence, but prefer to put all the blame on "them". "they" teach their children they, "they" teach their children that - with no acnowledgement that the kids in the Israeli educational system are brainwashed to a greater degree - brainwashed into thinking that legal ownership of land/assets/houses/institutions is something that is gained by this pathetic ideal of "purity of arms" and brainwashed into thinking that land deeds and physical presence on the land in 1948 count for naught. Well said for responding to idiot number 3 - the knee-jerks who respond to anything short of 150% blind animal devotion to the most extreme and emotional form of zionistm - by screaming "anti-Semitism" and that other wonderful expression which you have picked up on "leftist fascists". They are the dying screams of a bunch of people whom history is leaving behind. As we see, the whole world - except for the business/military establishment in the USA and our own brown-noser Blair - is condemning this absolutely horrendous campaign of destruction based in nothing more than ethnic hatred and a sense of supremacism on the part of the Israelis. The Palestinian/Egyptians/ Jordanians/ Syrians/Lebanses have been suffering this canker for decades, this settler state where politicians rise to the top of the manure-heap and gain popularity by "Arab-bashing". It's not a recipe for co-existence - but as we have seen, time and time again, neither the majority of the Israeli public nor the majority of Israeli politians believe co-existence to be an important element in their platforms. It's so much easier for them, with their billions of dollars of American aid, to be a testing ground for the latest weapons of death and destruction while positing themselves as some sort of savious of western values. Well - as we have seen last week, not much of the west wants the particular values of murderous racism which Israel represents. Demonstrations around the world, condemnation by world leaders, condemnation by the UN - the tide has turned and it is only the criminal clique in charge of Israel who believe that they are out their doing god's work in some perverted barbaric medeival way. Shame shame and shame on all of you who support the destruction of Lebanese lives, Lebanese infrastructure and the LEbanese state in a cowardly campaign of destruction from the air. The world is completely disgusted.
16. About my son...
Rustum's mother ,   UK   (07.24.06)
I thought I would find you here, you bad boy!!. Why aren't you at the mosque? Israeli people, I apologise for Rustum, he had a very difficult childhood. It all started at his birth, Ahmed (my husband) and I decided to have his Brit performed by a Jewish moyle. Unfortunately, he cut off more than he should have and Rustum has never got past this. I apologise. Rustum!!!! to the mosque! NOW

Rustum ,   London, UK   (07.24.06)
Aside from your use of the meaningless term "leftist fascist" to describe the peace-lover Ehud from japan, you use of the word "creatures [who] only understand force" is demeaning. From your name, it appears that you are not a native of the Middle East - i.e. you were born elsewhere and as a foreign creature you have been misled into thinking that the theft of land within some mystico-zionist framework has a semblence of legality. Poor deluded you. In fact you have become "one of the creatures who only understand force" by dint of your very own words "we must fight not just this battle". The introduction into the Middle East of so many foreign elements, who believe that their battle against communism is continuing in a different guise has only managed to complicate an already complicated situation. However, one thing is sure. The Israeli bombardment and distruction of a sovereign country, yet again, is not a policy of peace - no matter what the war-mongers of Geneva or Sao Paolo think in their death loving orgies of delight.
18. Misleading Israeli medias!
Joseph ,   Lebanon   (07.24.06)
Don't be shocked when you discover soon how many israeli casualties within the IDF there are during the battles in the south these 3 days! Hezballah has been preparing this for 6 years... Your media is hiding the truth so that you keep the faith... I am sorry for you
19. RABAK!!! what are you doing here woman?
Rustums' Father ,   London, UK   (07.24.06)
I no allow you wiz ze israeleans - Rustum! get to the mosque.
20. you are a weak nation!!!
angry man ,   Italy   (07.24.06)
i wish to see wat will happen to the mighty israel when the green dollars stop pumping from the USA, u will wither and die like a an ugly tree...and believe it ,this day is coming so beware ...tyrants never last for ever.history always repeats its self and you will find yourselfs in the trash of history you murdorous war loving thiefs.
21. Response to #13
Patrick ,   San Francisco   (07.24.06)
Perhaps you should direct your words to Hezballah. Apparently, according to you, it's okay to kill Jewish children. If you are in fact from Tel Aviv, I'd like to hear your thoughts when the Zelzal missiles begin falling on your neighborhood. In case you were born yesterday, Hezballah attacked Israel and started the war.
22. Response to #12
Patrick ,   San Francisco   (07.24.06)
Dear Edward, your hostility towards Israel and Jews embodies the very reason that Israel must defend itself for its very survival. Instead of imparting some semblence of objectivity, you immediately blame the victim (Israel). Did you forget that Israel was attacked by Lebanon? Did you also forget that Lebanon has no land disputes with Israel; what was the purpose of the attacks? The Lebanon war is a tragedy. Israel is not targeting civilians. But when the civilians aid and abet terrorist who live among them, there is little else a country can do under rocket fire.
23. #16 - fake. Beneath contempt.
Rustum ,   London   (07.24.06)
25. Ten hurt but not killed. HaShem smiles on Jews defending the
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (07.24.06)
land he gave them. I notice that as Israel takes more land as a buffer and destroys more hez-bull-ah targets the losing terrorists and their friends issue more and more threats as if words will win. Too bad chumps, Bush wants hez-bull-ah destroyed and he is giving Israel time to do it. It will help his republican friends get reelected amd hez-bull-ah's death is fine with fine with him. Of course me too.
26. Arabs don't understand!!!!
J. ,   Haifa   (07.24.06)
Lounching katyshas and rockets on civilian population in order to kill is the strongest expression of hatred. The hatred is something that is connected to devel not to god, and Nassrallah is supposed to be cleric. As I understood Islam this is a religion of love, peace, equality, understanding and forgivenes. Also I haven't heard that somebody from Arab population stood up and said something against this man, who cosed all this beleiving that also this time Israel will not react. This is something that can help us to understand Arab mentality. They think differently, they are afraid from power and are full of critics and hatred towards those who want to live in peace with them. .We Israelis only want to live in peace, and if Arabs will understand this they can only profit, but if they will continue with provocation all of us will lose.
27. #16 and 19
shahid   (07.24.06)
this is not a coulpes group place where we let out our feelings to one another!!! if you have something to deal with then go ahead! trust me threst of the world does not need to know about it!
28. Agree with J (post 26)
Abdullah ,   Kuwait City   (07.24.06)
So in order to stop the targeting of civilians we need a ceasefire right now! And if that isn't an option, they equip. Hezbollah with a similar armament to match that of Israel and let Lebanon and Israel have an army to an army traditional war and let's see who shall win it! May peace be upon us all?
29. As bad as each other
Alan ,   UK   (07.24.06)
Israel and Hezbollah are as bad as each other, and both have the neighbours they each deserve, both are needlessly killing civilians, both are war-hungry. Both deserve to be brought up on war crime charges for the deaths of the innocent. Israel had my support once, that is long LONG gone, Hezbollah never had my support, and never will. You reap what you sow, and warmongers from both sides will get their just deserves one day, that is the way of things. For shame.
30. #27: Arabs set themselves up to be laughed at.
Fatima   (07.24.06)
You actually BELIEVED they were Rustum's parents? HA HA HAAAA! Could you be any more stupid?
