1. U.S. WANTS AGGRESSOR LEBANON REWARDED WITH JEWISH LAND
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (07.28.06)
Muslims know when they attack Israel, the U.S. will pressure tiny Israel to give Jewish land to Israel's attackers. THERE IS NO WAR ON TERROR! The U.S. is repeating their pattern of exerting relentless pressure on Israel to give away Jewish land vital to Israel's defense to Israel's enemies. The U.S. EU UN Russia Road Map goal of a global Islamic terror state on Jewish land is an indefensible 6-10 miles wide Israel enabling a second Holocaust of Jews. Jerusalem Post JPost.com » Israel Jul. 26, 2006 Exclusive: US calls for Mount Dov talks By HERB KEINON The US is "counseling" Israel to negotiate a possible withdrawal from the Mount Dov (Shaba Farms) area with Lebanon as part of a long-term arrangement for Lebanon, The Jerusalem Post has learned. This issue was one of the focuses of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's talks in Jerusalem Tuesday with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert... For the Lebanese, a victory could be an Israeli withdrawal from Mount Dov, and a massive international aid package... The area is a 100 square mile parcel of land located at the foot of Mount Hermon where the Syrian, Lebanese and Israeli borders meet. Israel took control of the area after the Six Day War in 1967, and since then has built up a number of military outposts on the strategic hills.
2. Odd
Shai ,   Israel   (07.28.06)
It's odd that nobody found a way to quickly end the "crisis" with Pakistan and India, with North Korea, or with Iran. With them, it's bluster. But when they come to attack us and we fight back, suddenly Britain has an emergency on its hands and drops everything? Odd indeed.
3. Irak
gil ,   ashkelon   (07.28.06)
He should better ask for resolution ending his Irak agression

5. BLAIR RECEIVES
DACON9   (07.28.06)
BRITISH RECEIVES HONESTY INTEGRITY KNOWLEDGE OF SUPPORTING A LASTING DEMOCRACY OR DID BRITS ENJOY THE TERRORISM SO MUCH? WOULD THE BRITS BE SO UPSET WHEN ISRAEL CLOSES DOWN HIZBALLAH? JOIN THE UN? JOIN THE EU? THEN WHAT? WHAT HAVE THE DONE WHAT DID THE FREE WORLD RECIEVE IN RETURN FOR THOSE ORGANIZATIONS?
6. UK joins UN & EU SEEKING ISRAEL'S DEFEAT by GLOBAL JIHADISTS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (07.28.06)
This has nothing to do with "resolving fighting between Israel and Hizbullah" as Associated Press dishonestly reports. Vicious, UNPROVOKED ACTS OF WAR were made on Israel from Lebanon with over one million Israelis in bomb shelters. Israel's very survival is threatened! Hamas and Hizbullah proxies are fighting Iran's war against Israel - a global jihad with its ultimate goal the entire world subjugated under Islamic rulers. Iran declares repeatedly to the world they intend to wipe Israel off the map. Iran is now dangerously close to attaining the nuclear capability to eradicate Israel from the face of the earth as they have warned. The Jew-hating world ignores the nuclear threat to Israel. Peace comes only through the utter defeat of the enemy. Britain is now uniting with the UN and EU in the betrayal of Israel. The betrayors and haters of Jews don't want Israel defeating her enemies and don't want Israel destroying the over 12,000 missiles on the border pointed at Israel. Israel must do whatever is necessary to survive!
7. UN:Laughing stock of civilized world
Arie   (07.28.06)
The UN has no authority. In fact it has become the laughing stock of the civilized world. Terrorists use UN barracks as staging ground, with the obvious complicity of the UN Secretary-General; 500000 Blacks are murdered by an Islamic government and the UN says nothing; UN names war criminals to head its "human rights" commission";UN leadership, including Annan and his family, take payoffs from despots like saddam hussein to protect them. The list goes on. New Yorkers wake up: demolish the UN building and move it to a more appropriate location, teheran perhaps.
8. #4 obsolete reasoning
(07.28.06)
I have never heard of one instance where Israel has yielded to any pressure from Great Britain (even in 1948!) What Bush is able to bring to bear is quite another story, but so far he seems inclined to let Israel finish the job, as it is in America's best interests also to eliminate Hizbullah's military functioning in Lebanon. Remember he clearly stated who's to blame for the war with his candid comments at the G-8summit (i.e. the "open mike") He has the most influence on Blair--more than the EU. Even Nasrallah admitted that he didn't expect this kind of response from Israel. He thought it would be business as usual. By attacking hizbollah with full force, Israel has shown and repeatedly stated that the rules have changed. It's a whole new ballgame in the Middle East!
9. LEBANESE GOVERNMENT' SUPPORT & COLLUSION WITH HIZBULLAH
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (07.28.06)
Terrorist Hizbullah is a member of Lebanon's government, with seats in the cabinet. Lebanon's government colluded with Hizbullah in unprovoked, vicious acts of war against Israel. Aggressor Lebanon is showered with aid and sympathy. No aid is offered to victim Israel. Israel the victim - ferociously attacked with over one million Jews endangered and in bomb shelters, has sustained substantial damage. Israel's tourism industry has been drastically affected. Hizbullah has purposely embedded themselves in densely populated civilian areas in Lebanon. Hizbullah shoot from inside mosques, hospitals and schools in south Lebanon. Hizbullah, fighting a proxy war for Iran and Syria, and Lebanon's government share sole responsibility for causing all of the damage wrought in Lebanon and Israel. They must be made to pay Israel for all the destruction! Every nation has the right to defend her citizens. Rabid Jew-haters continuously seek to deny Israel the basic human right of survival. The Innocent Bystander Myth Evelyn Gordon, THE JERUSALEM POST July 20, 2006 ...Far from being smuggled in without the government's knowledge, weapons earmarked for Hizbullah arrived openly in Beirut Airport almost every week - and the airport, unlike southern Lebanon, is fully controlled by the government and the Lebanese army. Yet the government never ordered the army to confiscate these shipments. Regular arms shipments also came overland from Syria. Yet these, too, passed openly and without hindrance through border crossings controlled by the Lebanese government. The Lebanese army has even openly assisted Hizbullah during the past week's fighting. Hizbullah's successful missile strike on an Israeli naval vessel Friday night, for instance, would have been impossible had the army's radar stations not given Hizbullah the ship's coordinates. Hizbullah does not have radar stations of its own. Far from repudiating Hizbullah's attacks on Israel, the Lebanese government has actively defended, facilitated and assisted them at every turn. There are thus no grounds for treating it as an innocent party in this conflict....
10. realities of conflict
chaim ,   miami beach usa   (07.28.06)
My heart and soul is in turmoil with the realization that the State of Israel should disband and surrender to the reality of being led by criminal incompetence leadership, that values and bows to biased world opinion and does not take positive actions to protect the lives of its citizens. The first law of nature is “Survival” translated into “He who tries to kill you Kill him before he Kills you” How many times have the entire Moslem countries publicly announced “WE will eradicate Israel” the world claims that “IF Israel does not cease to destroy their sworn enemy, it would create a violent hatred by the Moslem nations, I wonder how much more Hate or how greater can the hatred of the Moslem World be directed against Israel. Have the Politicians failed to realize that “Yes it is a tragedy that innocent children are killed” but here is the reality that the Israeli leadership fails to acknowledge, these children are there because of the Moslem method of waging war. The Moslems simply have no respect for life so they deliberately place their innocent children in the line of fire so they can garner the pity of the world at large. Can Israeli leadership claim that any country has ever offered any emergency assistance to help the Israeli citizens overcome their losses. All that is heard is how much of emergency assistance the nations of the world are clamoring and sending to the so called hapless instigators of the conflicts initiated by them. This world view of what they consider reality and their reaction will never change. If Israel is to survive it has to stop being a slave to any and all countries that try to impose any conditions that are detrimental to Israel, wage war against their enemies according to the terms set by them, which is if victorious Israel will cease to exist simply put “do unto others as they want to do unto you”. In war there is no such notion as being merciful it is governed by the first law of nature “Self Preservation” it has never been governed by what is a new phenomenon called “International Law” as such laws are imposed by others that are not directly endangered, and personal prejudices are the driving force in their enactment. May Israel wake up and realize that this may be the last chance to insure their viability and future survival because if Israel does not totally eradicate their sworn enemies, does Israel really believe that the world, would ever stop their enemies from rearming with a greater arsenal and unleash such against them at their choosing, knowing full well that if it goes against them, the entire world body will stop Israel and insure a continuance of a repeat of such conduct until Israel will be destroyed and most if not all its citizens put to death.
11. Blair resolution
Djazaïri ,   France   (07.28.06)
And we demand a resolution against Blair, Bush and the zionist authorities(the gang Olmert & Co).
12. You shall not fear them
Hans-Jörg Marby ,   Markdorf, Germany   (07.28.06)
It rather looks to me, as if Hizb. has given up, is forced to withdraw. You shall not fear them for the LORD your god he shall fight for you (Devarim 1:22)
13. It should be global
Evgeniy ,   NYC, US   (07.28.06)
It should be a global campaign to support Israel, the country that is doing a dangerously deadly job of fighting terror for courtiers that refuse to do it for themselves. It should be a global campaign to reduce status of UN, which is one of the main obstacles on the way to fulfill goals that Israel and other countries, that want to live free of terror, should have. UN is a fraud. They sacrificed lives of their solder for a chance to blame Israel. Blair is giving up to pressure of BBC “victims”. I think there should be enough Jews and those who sympathize to raise their voices and really make a difference this time.
14. blair and the un
Tommy ,   belfast uk   (07.28.06)
I am afraid that Mr Blair is one of the top men in the "muslim appeasement field" it is only right that he associate with kofi and the un We have all seen the demonstrations on British and other western soil where the expression of hatred for all we cherish is benignly smiled upon Mr Blair like many of the UK population has no knowledge of islam nor seemingly does he have any intention of garnering any knowledge from the world about them. It has not dawned on Mr Blair that the world is facing Global Jihad. He still thinks "hijacked religion,extremists,a handful of deluded people,and we must have done something to cause this" . How can there ever be peace in Israel when the hatred of the jew and the rest of us goes back 1400 years. When Mr Blair does not see the problem,how can he be involved in the answer He and his cronies seek only "that dross that men call gold" We have a government of weak men who care not a jot for the rest of us or the future of the UK A ceasefire in Lebanon will achieve nothing except take iran and syria closer to their goal of exterminating the jews in Israel.In 1967 the un peacekeepers were between Israel and Egypt until Egypt told them to move--and so the 6 day war started so you can see the un was just as pro-arab then. Mr Blair should be getting summaries of TV in the middle east He should be looking at middle eastern schoolbooks.then he would see the poison that infects young minds He should listen to learned people who have real knowledge about islam and its aspirations and especially he should be looking at the history of islam from its inception
15. Blair is a B. Liar
(07.28.06)
16. french euro trash shut the fuc! up
aaron ,   tel aviv   (07.28.06)
You all need not to write about anything, I wish that you frogs would remember what it is like to have your country surrounded by enimies and have your people living in fear of attack from all sides. I feel extremely bad for the french jews for they are in the most anti - semetic country outside of the middle east. We should have not bailed you out in ww2, the only reason is because the nazis were worse than you. I would love to see any french faggot come to gaza or the west bank and see how much love you get. Learn the deafinition of Zionism as well, it simply means the right for jews to return to our home, in the end we know were you stand and if it came down to a fight Israel would kick your bujwa asses.
17. #16 learn manners
Rustum ,   London, UK   (07.28.06)
You have broadcast your ignorance far and wide now. Referring to the French as "you frogs" Saying "I would love to see any french faggot come to Gaza" As for sayhing "we should not have bailed you out in ww2" - who is "we"? Were you fighting at the time for the allies? Your whole post stinks of fetid ignorance. You owe the person you wrote it to an apology and then perhaps you should try restating your thoughts in a manner which is not full of steretypes and anti-gay terminology. Vive la résistance libanaise
18. to # 16
Djazaïri ,   France   (07.28.06)
What do you really know about France and the situation of French Jews. Apparently nothing else than lieux communs and insults you get out from the dustbin you consider your brain.
19. Some people might not like BUSH but

20. re 7 & 13: Fraud and Laughing Stock
Joseph Z. Paaneah ,   Bethel Ridge, WA US   (07.28.06)
If the UN is a fraud and laughing stock of the world why should anybody take General Resolution 181 seriously? Is Resolution 181 which re-established Israel a fraud and joke? This must explain the maniacal laughter as both sides splatter children’s blood
21. to: Linda Rivera No.6
Leon ,   Grand Rapids U S A   (07.28.06)

22. To: no. 7
Leon ,   Grand Rapids U S A   (07.28.06)
My tax money is paying for them. That is no laughing matter !
23. Useless Nobodies
Shalom ,   Miami USA   (07.28.06)
Israel should NEVER agree to any type of UN "peacekeeping." The only thing they keep are weapons and propaganda for the Islamic animals seeking Israels destruction. Israel should not allow ANY UN personnel into the country. Let them go to Damascus for R&R with theior friends.
24. The British are feckless
Laura   (07.28.06)
They learned nothing from last years muslim attacks against them. They still have every intention of appeasing the savages.
25. #20

26. Re: wishy washy Blair
Richard L.   (07.30.06)
U.K. has history of expelling Jews twice from their lands, has history of preventing victims of nazi oppression and genocide from safe haven in Eretz Yisroel, has history of siding with arabs rather than jews throughout the 19th and 20th centuries,has history of even today not allowing British Jewish citizens to openly behave as Jews. What can the world expect, let alone Israel, from Blair? He's afraid of causing discontent because of his impopularity amongst own people, afraid of not siding with Bush for political purposes. Blair is a very arrogant, selfish and untrustworthy leader. Britain might do well to mend its ways and offer full support to Israel before more of its companies are taken over by arab concerns (ie. Harrods for one). Islamists intend to take over the world. But, who remembers that? Blair can't make up his mind, sees only his own personal political future in all this.
