1. YOU WORRY TO MUCH PM OLMERT
DACON9   (07.25.06)
2. According to Hebrew sources,
Michael Steiner   (07.25.06)
Khizbolah stronghold Bint Jbail has finally been surrounded and is getting pounded by our troops from all directions. Dozens of Khizbolah animals have been terminated. This fight is at last being done properly and Israel is, again, winning. Yes, we can expect more losses but, as many people rightly said, this IS a war. Israel and our people must NOT lose their nerve. Our nation has been through much more difficult times. This time at least we have even one sincere friend: the United States.
3. Diplomcy vs Blind hate
Talula ,   Israel   (07.25.06)
How can there ever be a diplomatic solution? Hezbollah hates Israel, it's mission is to destroy our country and kill as many Jews as it can. And the sad thing is, it doesn't even know WHY. It's blind, ignorant hate. Where is the diplomacy there? I cannot see an end to this situation. We are dealing with terrorists 'martyrs' who don't care for their own life or that of the Lebanese people, in a country that is not even theirs and then we have the Israeli nation who's heart bleeds everytime a soldier is killed.

Cease fire and negociations remains the only way to solve all problems, although Rice and Bush think the opposite.

Agop ,   Yerevan   (07.25.06)
The new Middle East of Rice will be based on bloodshed and tear. They killed 250 thousand civilians in Iraq. Now, it is time to kill thousands in Lebanon. new Middle East, new blood
9. Response to Talula (post 7)
(07.25.06)
Hello Talula, It will be over soon, and Israel and Israelis will soon be enjoying peace but not completely based on the Israeli likings! Israel will have to compromise.
10. Ms. Rice, I wish you all the luck there is!
(07.25.06)
11. diplomacy
Luc ,   Canada   (07.25.06)
Israel and US still committing fatal errors. You will strenghten terrorism with your crazy military virtual power...
12. #8 The Armenian Holocaust
Talula ,   Israel   (07.25.06)
Over a million Armenian citizens were brutally murdered by the Turks. It's not that you don't have your own history of death and destruction. What did you do about it?
13. Maybe the Secreatry of State should visit Haifa
David ,   Karmiel   (07.25.06)
There has just been an attack on Haifa - 16 Super Katyushas fell in one barrage. I remember the words of David Levi at the time of the Lebanon pull out when he was Foreign Minister in the Barak Government. He said if one missile falls on Israeli soil after the pullout then the "land of Lebanon will burn!" Over 2,500 missiles in two weeks and 16 in one day on Haifa alone - the time has come to show the real might of the IDF and stand by the promise of David Levi: Admat Levnon Tivor! This is the only language that our enemies understand and respect. Not talk, not democracy - they are a sign of weakness in their eyes . Only force and the pain it comes with is understood by these fanatics. 60 years of war has proven this. They have killed over 25,000 of our people deliberatley with the open intention of destroying us. Now is the time, once and for all, to close that account and destroy the Islamic Jihad Plague that has fallen on this land and this planet.
14. #12 Armenian holocaust
Tony ,   Lebanon   (07.25.06)
Those very armenians who fled the turkish invasion took refuge in LEBANON! You are killing armenians you f'ing retard. Get YOUR facts right.

16. #3
RACHELI ,   israel   (07.25.06)
how can you say that you dont know where the hate come from???? everyone knows that this is what they are being taught!! they sing to our death!!! and they are educated to hate and then kill as many of us as possible!!! they are trained for it!! there are 4 year old children who walk around with a weapon in thier hand! *** other than that i can only agree with you more!! everytime a soldier is killed and every time a person is injured my heart bleeds!! i am 100% sure that if there were no jews to be killed they would kill themselves! they do not care for thier lives or anyone elses!!! YOU ARE CORRECT! THIS LAND IS NOT THIERS! AND IT NEVER WILL BE!
17. HANK THE 'GD' OF ISRAEL
DACON9   (07.25.06)
CONDY RICE SPOKE HARSH AGAINST ISRAEL IN THE PAST. .BUSH DEMANDS THE ROAD MAP. AFTER THE WAR, THEY WILL GO BACK TO DEMANDS AGAINST ISRAEL. DO NOT PRAISE PRES BUSH AND RICE. PRAISE OUR 'ONE HOLY GD OF ISRAEL THT PROMISED ISRAEL WILL PREVAIL AND ;HE; WILL DO MIRACLES FR US IF WE REMEBER HIM AND SERVE HIM''.

OUR PRAISES MUST BE FOR THE 'GD OF ISRAEL' BARUCH HASHEM AM YISRAEL CHAI SHEMA YISRAEL AMONEI ELOKEINU AMONEI ECHAAD
18. DON'T STOP NOW
myron ,   USA   (07.25.06)
ISRAEL MUST NOT PERMIT THE EURABIANS IN ROME, HEADED BY THE EURABIAN-IN-CHIEF PRODI, TO BLOCK ISRAEL'S TOTAL VICTORY. EURABIA, BECAUSE OF ITS PACT WITH MUSLIM COUNTRIES , DOES NOT WANT A TOTAL VICTORY BY ISRAEL. (see "Eurabia" by Bat Ye'or)
19. to 11
manu ,   haifa   (07.25.06)
american and israeli power is far from beeing virtual as u suggest. I honestly dont see any other solution than disarming Hezbollah which is succeeding very well in its task right now : Turning the international opinion against israel which is fataly and once again seen as a barbarian state.
20. #7
ISRAEL   (07.25.06)
AMEN!!!!
21. #9
ISRAEL   (07.25.06)
THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT COMPROMISING! THAT IS FOR SURE! NOW ALL WE NEED IS TO PRAY THAT IT WILL BE SOMETHING FOR THE GOOD OF ISRAEL!!!
22. I side with peace not hatred
Agop ,   Yerevan   (07.25.06)
My race knows what killing means. and I see today that Israel is committing same crime agaist Arabs and Armenians in Lebanan and Palestine. Let the hatred bury in history, I prefer peace.
23. 2 Michael Learn who is Hizbullah it's not Kitzbuehl
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (07.25.06)
in Austria - but it is Hizbullah or others spell Hes - Hez ---- but there aint NO Kitz - or Khiz If you think you sound special - you don't green behind your ears little boy
24. AMERICA SUPPORTS ISRAEL ALL THE WAY
DEBRA ,   USA   (07.25.06)
QUESTION. WHO SAID THIS? "ISRAEL IS OUR ALLY. WHEN YOU ATTACK OUR ALLY, YOU ATTACK AMERICA." ANSWER: JOSH BOLTON, CHIEF OF STAFF TO PRESIDENT BUSH. HE SAID THIS ON TV SUNDAY. ISRAELIS CAN TRUST IN AMERICA TO SUPPORT ISRAEL. (BOLTON IS JEWISH. I DIDN'T KNOW IF THIS WAS KNOWN IN ISRAEL.)
25. #16 Rachel - Ben Gurion self proclaimed terrorist
Robert Sarkis ,   Lebanon   (07.25.06)
"We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population" "We must expel the Arabs and take their places" - Ben Gurion Zionist Founder http://www.mpacuk.org/content/view/4/1131/103/ http://thinkexist.com/quotes/david_ben-gurion/ You dont see arab children writing messages on bombs. But you do get to see Israelis doing it. Here have a look for your self. http://fromisrael2lebanon.info
26.  Re: Bullies can't take the heat they wreaked.
Tzachi ,   Haifa   (07.25.06)
Condi Rice has a dirty job to do, wish her hatzlacha. But, have hard time believing that "ceasefire" from Lebanon/Hezbolleh/Iran/Syria/PA/Hamas means that THEY will stop firing their weapons at Israelis/Jews. "Ceasefire" to them means only that Israel will stop firing at them (IN DEFENSE) and we will bend to their demands once again. Only way to stop terrorism world-wide is to take ACTION AGAINST THOSE WHO STARTED THE WAR AND WHO STILL WANT ISRAEL WIPED OFF THE MAP OF WORLD. Olmert must stop talking about more expelled and evacuations, price too high. Instead put our people back in Gaza, build Israeli confidence. Bullies like Hezbolleh and PA just can't stand it when their victims fight back. And, let Lebanon and its arab friends pay for damage they caused. Israel's humanitarian all the time, giving medicine and money to our enemy!!! No other country does that, except USA! I'm a proud zionist but also a realist. Death is the same for both sides, it is painful. Bullies must stop first, return our kidnapped soldiers and give ISRAEL REPARATIONS!!!!
27. #3 Racheli
Talula ,   Israel   (07.25.06)
They are taught to hate us, yes, they absolutely are !!!! But going beyond that. If a pupil stood up and said but why do we hate them, what did they do - I'm sure there would be a pretty long pause. It's just a genetic gene that has been passed down through generations, the root of which has never really been addressed.
28. Condi
Observer   (07.29.06)
I do not what type of middle east she is talking.All the middleeast is suffering from Israeli crime and she appreciates what the Israel crminals are doing.Hence, Condi is singing on deaf ears on the first hand she does not know how to sing in the second hand.
