92. To all Israel haters
Alex ,   Israel   (07.30.06)
You are like old, perverted fetishists. You seat out there, behind your computers and gloat civilian deaths, happy that there is another opportunity to spill some mud on Israel and IDF. I have a new fetish for you: Go to lebanese government site and demand to 1) return kidnapped soldiers 2) disarm Hezbolla 3) stop bombarding of Israel territory I have a surprise for you, this way you may save lives of innocent.
93. Both parties are guilty of killing the innocent
Ahmed   (07.30.06)

95. STOOOOOOOOOOOP!
Assadour ,   B.H. Lebanon   (07.30.06)
Is this human what happened in Qana?!?!? When enough is enough?!?!? IDF/IAF are only spreading hate even on moderate Lebanese... Leave us in peace!!! Long Live Lebanon
96. #86, The Difintion of terrorism
Dictionary   (07.30.06)
DEFINITION: Any country, political party, or organization who pose a threat to USA's and it's allies military and political dominance over the world. Example: Israel killing civilians, is a self defense againts terrorism, hezbollah killing soldiers fighting them is terrorism ...
97. #70 - Propaganda is not truth
Julia ,   Bethesda, USA   (07.30.06)
The list of "facts" stated by No. 70 shows how well Al Mansar's brainwashing has succeeded. All the things that she accuses Israel of are exactrly what Hizbullah does. Just as the media perpetuated the myth that Israeli soldiers killed Mohammed al-Durra--when numerous independent non-Israeli investigations conclusively proved that he was killed by Palestinians--now the myth of the "deliberate" bombing of civilians will be repeated ad nauseam. These deaths were deliberately orchestrated by Hizbullah to inflame world opinion and they have succeeded. Facts don't matter in the Arab mind--only myths of Israeli perfidity. The media forgets that none of this would have happened if Hizbullah had not chosen to plunge the region into war by sending an invading force into Israel to kill and capture innocent Israelis.
98. To Alex, #92
Fouad ,   Lebanon   (07.30.06)
You're absolutely right. We have gone as far as demanding it from our deputies, and they are constantly demanding it from parliament and Hezbollah. And, that doesn't give the right to Israel or Hezbollah to murder innocent civilians. Peace my brother.
99. Children, elderly, where are the "Men"? shooting rockets?
K ,   Lebanon   (07.30.06)
100. To all Israel bashers: Long time no see.
(07.30.06)
You only come out and shout when your darling arabs who you would run away from if they lived next door get it over the head. You love to watch Jewish blood flow. When it is flowing, we don't hear a word from you. When it is not, then you come out to complain. Shove your self-righteousness up where it came from. All of Israel's enemies will perish and your posts will preclude your cries of 'innocent'.
101. To 96
Shai ,   Israel   (07.30.06)
You probably thought you were being cute, but you just came off as puerile. It seems to me that the US's definition allows Islamic dominance, 3rd world dominance, Communist Dominance, Anarchist dominance (?), and Arab dominance as long as that dominance is achieved by means that do not target noncombatants who are disinclined to prefer any of these dominances over US dominance. I mean, how many people are forced to buy McDonalds hamburgers or Madonna albums? How many are forced to seek American citizenship rather than stay in their country's of birth? Somehow, from Communists to Arabs, they never seem to figure out how to win over those who prefer "US dominance", as you see it, by convincing others of the merit of their alternative to US dominance. Rather, they take the "Mohammed Approach". Convert, or die. No wonder Muslims (and Polisci 101 students at almost any university in the world) have a hard time seeing the difference between what terrorism is, and what they think Israel does.
102. ISRAEL WARNED RESIDENTS to LEAVE. BLAME RUTHLESS HIZBULLAH
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (07.30.06)
Blame ruthless Hizbullah who use civilians as human shields - shooting from inside mosques, hospitals and schools - and who set up rockets and other weapons in basements of apartment blocks,schools and mosques.
103. To Julia, #97
Rabih ,   Beirut   (07.30.06)
On the contrary, what you are saying represents what the western media offers you, which you chose to believe blindly. First of all, Hizballah did not kidnap "innocent israelis", but captured two israeli solidiers from their vehicles exactly on the border for the sole purpose of exchanging them with lebanese detainees (Terrorism is not possible against an army, which supposed to fight mind you). Now the lebanese that were captured by israel some 23 years ago were not exactly in Tel Aviv. They were civillians whom the IDF abducted from their homes inside Lebanese villages. So if you do a little bit of reading you'd find out that israel has no proper moral standing. By your standards, Lebanon would have the right to nuke israel by now. Second, I do not think that Hizballah can "orchestrate" events such as the IAF bombing ambulances, nor do i think that Katyushas were transported in KUWAITI humanitarian aid convoys that were targeted by israel for instance. And again, if you do a bit of reading, you'd find that Hizballah is an organization that acts IN SECRET, which means they wouldn't fire rockets from the houses of civillians that might tell on them and compromise their secrecy. So please, try to seek information from sources other than just the western media before questionning any facts. :)
104. Rabih is NUTS! (103)
sk ,   USA   (07.30.06)
Rabih, you say "And again, if you do a bit of reading, you'd find that Hizballah is an organization that acts IN SECRET, which means they wouldn't fire rockets from the houses of civillians that might tell on them and compromise their secrecy." Dude, even UN types complain about H's use of human shields! Muslims constantly use non-military sites, vehicles, and people to protect military resources and advance military goals. This is doctrine. That's why mosques are such popular places to store arms and to have terrorist meetings. All militaries and parmilitaries at least try to do their planning IN SECRET. Hizbullah does as well. The use of human shields when plans go operational is part of H doctrine. Those who "tell" on H are killed if caught. However, many Lebanese (especially Shiites) fully support H and are willing to die for the cause (or at least they keep telling us this). They will certainly not "tell."
105. Israel has done EXACTLY what it should have.
sk ,   USA   (07.30.06)
I am a bit amazed. As several Talkbackers have pointed out, human shields canNOT be used to protect enemy forces. The only reason the Arab terrorists use them is because they have been useful as part of their operational doctrine. This must change, and it WILL NOT change until Western forces ignore the shields and kill the enemy. Bravo.
106. Dirty trick again and no "imagination"
Evgeniy ,   NYC, US   (07.30.06)
I'm not surprised if it will be found out that it was done on purpose by Hezbollah to provoke a pressure on Israel to commit ceasefire, which in turn will let Hezbollah survive. Either all victims were just bodies of people who have died before the accident and were placed there before the building had been blown up by “army of god”, or hezbollah blew up the building with their citizens alive. That's clear provocation. They didn't even have an "imagination" to do it somewhat differently from what they happened during operation in 1996. They thought it worked then it would work now. hezballah has custom to hide behind its citizens, now they hide behind their bodies.
107. Eye-witness: heard TWO explosions
SECONDARY EXPLOSION ,   OF KATYUSHAS   (07.30.06)
The eye witness to the bombing said in the report transmitted by SKY News this evening that he "HEARD TWO EXPLOSIONS". That means there was a SECONDARY EXPLOSION of Hizbullah MUNITIONS stored at this house after the initial air strike.
108. to #107 Can you post a link on that source of yours?
Evgeniy ,   NYC, US   (07.30.06)
…Or maybe you can say where to look for this information. Info that you posted is exactly what I was thinking, the only thing I believe it wasn't accident but done on purpose.
109. Now report collapse happened hours after
Mary ,   USA   (07.31.06)
strike. Certainly it is unfortunate. War is unfortunate but in our fallen world we have it.
110. Fed up with the Israeli bullshit
Henry ,   Norway   (07.31.06)
Violence has never solved anything !!! Is it only Israelies and Americans who doesnt understand this? The Israelies, supported by the Americans, always seem to think that any conflict may be solved "if they only have the biggest cannons". Whenever Israel is revenging a terrorist act by demolishing buildings and killing a couple of innocents when doing so, Isreal creates more enemies, -more people who are willing to perform terrorist acts in order to get back at the Israelis....Israel themselves is therefore the main responsible for the situation. Thus Israel is to blame for the situation. I do not support Israel in its act against Lebanon or against the palestines. Neither do I support the terrorist acts from the Palestines or Hezbollah....BUT, in my eyes, the biggest terrorist here are the Israelis as the by far largest civilian casualies are suffered by the palestines and the people of Lebanon... 1948 was a huge mistake!
111. to#13
cleverman ,   houston,texas   (07.31.06)
very smart comment, ha?? except that the reason why people stay back not to support the blessed resistance men but because they don't want to leave their homes. they are not sorry they are dead, they are martyrs. instead you should be sorry yu are "alive"!!! these "civilians" are Khizb-Allah fighters and support personnel - yes, including women and children. Photos prove that Islamic Caliphists brainwash their children from birth to become suicide bomber "martyrs" and terrorists. what the heck you are talking about??!! look at your very inoccent children signing the bombs with love. but as quran says that your ancestors falsified the truth why shouldn't you??
112. May there be many more such attacks
Y ,   Israel   (07.31.06)
If bombing a Hezbalah controlled Shiite town saves one Jewish soldier's life by avoiding a ground assault or saves one Jew from a Hezbalah missile in Haifa - the attack is well worth it - there should many more like it. Not to worry, no one today cries over the thousands of non-combatant dead from NATO bombing of Kosovo, or the aerial bombing of Afganistan or Iraq by the US.
113. # 107
cleverman ,   houston, texas   (07.31.06)
you are so brainwashed. look upu the media real well and u will see that what exploded was the internationally forbidden war weapons that israelis are using
114. All I am saying...Is give war a chance!
james ,   Washington, DC, USA   (07.31.06)
Unfortunately, and almost jealously, Israel operates as I wish all the 'sane' world would! The Euro-weinees and the criminal like Arab regimes of the Middle East should wake up to the pandora's box they have opened by showing support for the terrorists like the pedofile arafat and the rest of the cons and criminals of Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad.... Israel--keep up the good fight!
115. To siegel, no 63
juliana ,   bucharest romania   (07.31.06)
The killing doesn't have any excuse, if the hezbollah is bad than you are worse,if israelis know that hezbollah is using the civilians as human shields,than why do they kill them?your excuse is very cheap,Israel army is just a bloody brainless killing mashine
116. Advice for Condi and Bush
juliana ,   bucharest romania   (07.31.06)
Condi,Bush, i give you a very good advice: take Israel with you and put it on the US teritory, this will solve all the problems, just think about it...
117. WELL DONE IDF
Naji ,   Beirut   (07.31.06)
keep up IDF you had targetted United Nations Officers ,Killed 6 of them in lebanon by mistake, in 14 consecutive air strikes ! oops sorry we miss the target 14 times !?what a pro
118. It was probably a CIA plot.....lol
Bill S. ,   San Antonio, Tx USA   (07.31.06)
The Lebanese aren't just living among terrorists. They ARE THE TERRORISTS. May the IDF bombing only stop when NOT ONE MORE TERRORIST EXISTS! They're nothing but a bunch of animals.
119. war
Franziska ,   Austria   (07.31.06)
everybody who is against the IDF defending their country should go and live in Northern Israel for a looooooooong while!
120. Number 110-Violence never solved anything?
Lawrence ,   Jackson, MS, USA   (08.04.06)
What about World War II? Violence sure solved that problem. What about the Cold War? My dad sure solved a lot of problems with a few rockets and .30 machine guns in that one. Let some Islamofascist smack you upside the head once, then tell HIM "violence never solved anything". Maybe before you chops your head off, you can serenade him with a verse of, "All we are saying, is give Peace a Chance."
