1. Bravo Olmert!!!
Leo ,   Canada   (07.31.06)
Bravo Olmert!!!
2. Olmert correct
Bob ,   Florida, USA   (07.31.06)
Now is the time to end the terrorist occupation of southern Lebanon
3. Help Israel - Sign the Petition
gerd schulz ,   germany   (07.31.06)
The State of Israel is in crisis now and needs your support more than ever before. Help Israel - Sign the Petition  http://globaljewish.com/
4. You’re quick!
Jorge Banner ,   BsAs, Argentina   (07.31.06)
[quote] ‘We should never have allowed terror state established by Hizbullah beyond our border to grow stronger’ [/quote] Really? You’re quick! That’s why you tie the hands of the military. Of course. I see the strategy here. They are the scourge of the earth, so let’s not be too harsh on them. I’m a nobody, but I’ll say it again: Israel: you destroy your enemies or your enemies destroy you. No military leader in history would have stopped at the border of the huge military victory Israel could reach in hours and turned back as you are doing. Think about were the next State of Israel is going to be founded, cause the Middle East is going to become unlivable unless you change your ways. Hammer Hisbollah into the ground, now!
5. Don't fight half a war
MIK ,   Stamford, CT   (07.31.06)
For once PM Olmert appearing to be saying the right things. If as was quoted Israel is "fighting against ruthless terrorists and will not stop until they are pushed back", then fight the war properly. The only way this could be done is with intense bombing and an even more intense campaign on the ground. Don't fight half a war - fight to win!
6. Stay the Course!
Paqid 16, Netzarim ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (07.31.06)
7. well done !!!
a ,   a   (07.31.06)
8. PM Olmert-Tough job. Stay the course.
(07.31.06)
9. Can't stop now!
(07.31.06)
As long as Hizbollah is still capable of firing rockets intended to kill or maim innocent Israeli civilians across the border Israel should continue to give them a damn good clobbering. Who knows how many innocent Israeli civilians might be killed otherwise? I feel really no sympathy for the people of Lebanon whatsoever. They started this whole affair, so they must now reap what they have sown. Especially the fervent Hizbollah supporters that make up 98% of the population of southern Lebanon. If you are in that group, you deserve a cluster bomb on your village.
10. Hizbullah must not be able to claim victory
Lemar ,   uk   (07.31.06)
The psycological hype for the Muslims if Hizbullah can claim a victory, ie having an army anywhere in Lebanon after the war will damage Israel sufficiently to cause its demise. Unfortunately it appears that Israels hands will be tied until one of Hizbullahs rockets causes many Israeli deaths so the IDF can respond conclusively.
11. GREAT SPEACH..................
Danielle ,   centre   (07.31.06)
12. " . .a comprehensive and uncompromising manner.”
dinky di ,   World   (07.31.06)
bidiyuk!!
13. Go negotiate with Syria over the Golan
Tim   (07.31.06)
That would be too difficult, eh? Killing is much easier.
14. 1st Lebanon War body count:17,825 Arabs+675 Israeli soldiers
Proud Grandpa ,   www.KingArik.net   (07.31.06)
Is that Olmert's goal? What good did the First Lebanon war do? Did it end terror? Or did it gave birth to Hezbollah? Did it created peace and stability to the region? Why do Olmert think he can "clean" Lebanon? Maybe because he's a novice. Maybe because he didn't learn the lesson of the 1st Lebanon War. Read here the history of the 1st Lebanon War and see where we're going: http://www.israel-chronicles.org/lebanon1982.htm I call Olmert to get out of Lebanon NOW! ENOUGH OF THIS FUTILE BLOODSHED!
15. Olmert, don't just push them back!
Tired of Terrorists ,   Karmiel, Israel   (07.31.06)
Don't just push them back from the border! Whats to stop them from creeping back to it over time? After all this trouble and effort from the IDF and the IAF, should there be a more drastic and permenant end to the terror?
16. Nasralla
Jacquot ,   Tel Aviv   (07.31.06)
Get in yours starting Bloks and start running we coming back in force
17. And Stop Apologizing! The World Hates You Anyhow!
H ,   Jerusalem   (07.31.06)
18. Defeat Them Good
Dave Levi ,   Burbank. USA   (07.31.06)
OUr prayers go to Israel and the brave soldiers that are fighting the terrorists. They are also fighting our battle. Those who protest at the American and Israeli embassies, should be "Ass-whupped". They are also our enemies. It's okay to them that Jews walked into the gas chambers during WW2, but heaven forbid Jews today fight back and don't allow themselves to be slaughtered. They want weak, timid, hapless Jews. They wont' get it. Israel should also have had capital punishment, for people like Barghouti. It isn't too late. As far as the world, does it matter what Israel does? Better 12 jurors at a trial than 12 pall bearers, as the saying goes. WE must all support our religious brethren, now, more than ever.
19. Great Leader Wanted!
Philippe ,   Mtl, CDN   (07.31.06)
What a mess this is turning out to be. This war is supposed to weaken the Hezbollah, make Israelis more secure. All it has done is create more ennemis for Israel, strenghten the Hezbollah, insure the next generation of terrorists and turn most of the world against Israel for it's lack of respect for civilian populations... The whole world agreed with Israel that Hezbollah rockets had to stop before this war. You wont find much backing for Israel now. Olmert decided on using the bully tactic, and it's just not working. Great challenges call for great leaders. Olmert is not one of them.
20. ISRAEL'S RIGHT TO EXIST
Ras Twaka ,   Springfield, OR, USA   (07.31.06)
With the actions of Israel, and the recent statement by Olmert that it will destroy all those who question Israel's right to exist, I want to say to Israel, YOU ARE MAKING A LOT MORE THAN ARAB NATIONS QUESTION YOUR RIGHT TO EXIST. You are creating a situation that will take the lives of my countrymen, spend my tax dollars, and endanger MY life. Israel is WRONG this time.
21. Please post this
Lawremce   (07.31.06)
Olmert you are a great, wonderful, and caring jew. Olmert your actions make me as a jew very proud. I am so impressed by your boldness and leadership during this critical time. Keep on fighting the good fight ach shely (brother of mine). We will win this because our actions during this crises is a beacon onto the world. This is what makes us jewish and the world not ;). It's great ;) May the almighty give you koach (strength my dear friend. HAZAK HAZAK.
22. good
anne ,   usa   (07.31.06)
get rid of hezbollah
23. Incredible - but then, not so at all
Larry ,   Eastbourne, UK   (07.31.06)
That the world allowed the establishment of what Olmert accurately calls a terror state - and then has the gall to put the blame on Israel.
25. olmert we are with you! the tragic accident caused by them
(07.31.06)
we are with you! we can't stop, espacially not now! the HZB must understand that it's propoganda and lies won't change our mind, and won't help it from our side. they are killing themselves and turning it to us, just for change th world opinion! to the terroists, we will not throw our weapons untill you'll get out from this world!!! to all of the lebanese people! ISRAEL isn't the real killer here, it's the HZB that using you as human shields and gaining support by your own blood. it's disgusting! and i'm sorry for you that you need to live with this kind of devil inside you.
26. #13
nul ,   Jerusalem   (07.31.06)
You think fighting Hisballa (read Iran) is easier? Want to try ? Or you're waiting till they come to/for you? Unless, of course you have already converted to Islam. By the way, where do you live? Not in Teheran by any chance?
27. Keep in mind
Ali ,   Palestine   (07.31.06)
" Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Thursday he is sorry for the "pain inflicted on many Lebanese residents" and the "unintentional killing of innocent civilians" but refused to apologize." Keep in your mind that you are a war crimer. One day in history, sooner or later, you'll pay the price.
28. the TRUTH
Dan ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.31.06)
In spite of the fact I have been harmed by this war, I believe that Olmert and Pertz are WAR CRIMERS.
29. Stupid leader
Jack ,   NY, USA   (07.31.06)
Guys, neither the rockets stoped, nor Nasrallah has been killed!!! I don't know why the Israeli silly citszens are proud of such a very stupid leader! Perhaps like him, they are crazy!!!
30. Kids Hunter
Natan ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.31.06)
Adone, I am very shamed that I am Israeli. Amir Pertz and Ehud Olmert are the 21st century kids' hunters! Why are you planting hate and killing among other people???????
