2. And David said...
Norway ,   SMASH GOLIATH   (08.02.06)
Thy servant kept his father's sheep... and when there came a lion or a bear and took a lamb out of the flock I went out after him and smote him and delivered it out of his mouth... and when he arose against me I caught him by his beard and smote him and slew him... Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them... seeing he hath taunted the armies of the living G*d And David said... The L*RD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine And Saul said unto David Go, and the L*RD shall be with thee... And he took his staff in his hand and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook and put them in the shepherd's bag which he had and his sling was in his hand and he drew near to the Philistine And the Philistine came nearer and nearer unto David and the man that bore the shield went before him... And when the Philistine looked about and saw David he disdained him for he was but a youth and ruddy and withal of a fair countenance And the Philistine said unto David... Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his god And the Philistine said to David... Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air and to the beasts of the field Then said David to the Philistine... Thou comest to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin... but I come to thee in the name of the L*RD of hosts the G*d of the armies of Israel whom thou hast taunted This day will the L*RD deliver thee into my hand and I will smite thee and take thy head from off thee and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth that all the earth may know that there is a G*d in Israel and that all this assembly may know that the L*RD saveth not with sword and spear for the battle is the L*RD'S and He will give you into our hand And it came to pass when the Philistine arose and came and drew nigh to meet David that David hastened and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine And David put his hand in his bag and took thence a stone and slung it and smote the Philistine in his forehead and the stone sank into his forehead and he fell upon his face to the earth So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone and smote the Philistine and slew him but there was no sword in the hand of David... The stone is knowledge of G*d use it Jews... and we shall SMASH ISLAM and XTIANITY - join the battle :) ))))) Where Are You Idolators ? (((((

Why don't you come yourself and stretch your muscles in Lebanon to smash your enemies of Islam and Christianity as you say? I don't think your prophets will give you any hand, coz they know well that idiots like you don't deserve life.

michael's heart and soul led him to israel. hashem and the jewish people were calling him. how do you take the measure of a hero? michael's clarity in seeing the need and giving his life for it willingly, makes him an israeli and american hero. he will be in our hearts forever.

Guys, This is probably the 5th or 7th "hero" story I read in your papers about soldiers kiled in Aita Chaab.However you still insist that IDF lost 3 soldiers in this battle. Are these invented story for virtual "heros" or do you need a calculator!?

Dan ,   USA   (08.02.06)
There seems to be no shortage of you Lebanese online. I thought you were suffering terribly from the "brutal Zionist attacks." Obviously the IDF still has a lot of work left to do, as Halutz goes about the correct business of setting your clock back 20 years. Enjoy your time travel! :-)

Michael Levine's sacrifice is justified by his faith in what he believed. I believe him to be an honorable man who gave his all. I find your comments tasteless in the wake of his eulogy. Xtrians as you put it well never be smashed by the authority you claim to. The rightous branch of David will not consume itself. For the House of the Lord is undivided. May God bless Michael Levine and all others like him.
15. #5 The Stone that smote the image...
Norway ,   With love of Norway   (08.02.06)
“For Mine own sake, for Mine own sake, will I do it; for how should it be profaned? And My glory will I not give to another.” Is.48:11 One of the most important principles in the Christian faith is the Trinity. That means that G*d consist of three parts – which at the same time is a unity. G*d warns us throughout the scriptures against thoughts about multiplicity. The Holy Spirit – Ruach HaKodesh – is not a person – it is G*ds nearness. Allah is the Arabic word for the G*d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Satan is G*ds messenger, among other angels. Jesus was a humble Jew, who achieved a lot, by convert people from idolatry, towards a more real knowledge of G*d. Jesus was an innocent Jew, who was unjustly condemned and killed, coz other people made the claims, and said that he was the messiah, son of G*d, people who put words from the Jewish Bible into his mouth. Jesus was a Jew, a brother of the Jewish people, a servant of G*d, just like all the other Jews – who are innocent – unjustly, condemned and killed, because of false testemony from the world. The Jew is still killed, because of the sins of the world. Jewish tradition holds that the historical Jesus, not the mangod, which Christianity made him into – never claimed the role, which was given him by the early churchfathers and the Catholic Church. The whole purpose of altering the Jewish Bible was to make it appear cristological. In a way that the New Testament shows that it is foretold in the Jewish Bible, that Jesus is the promised Messiah. The New Testament is a fairy-tale book. Muhammad was the prophet of Islam. He practiced his faith in ways, which were opposite of parts of the teachings of the Koran. It says that Mohammad was sent to show the world G*ds grace and mercy. But he became a military dictator who attacked, slaughtered and plundered. These are not the ways of showing mercy. The Allah who is revealed in the Koran is not a loving father. He says he will lead people astray, sure 6:39,126 – and he does not help those he leads astray, sure 30:28 , in fact he says he wants to use them to populate hell, sure 32:13. Islam is a river of blood, filled with hate, teachings and practice – towards women, non-moslems, towards Christians and especially towards Jews. The Koran is a mix between the Jewish Bible and a fairy-tale book. The original source, the holy Word of G*d – was meant to last forever. The Christian Bible, both the socalled Old Testament and the New Testament, the Koran and Hadith are inspired by man, who changed the very Word of G*d. Men who changed the law, the ways of our G*d. Both have in their teachings the firmness of iron, because the Jewish Bible is their original source, the Truth, Divinely inspired - by G*d. The fourth kingdom described in Daniel ch. 2 is the Roman empire, which is dominated by Edom and Ishmael, represented by Christianity and Islam. Both – one as strong as iron, the other as weak as pottery – comprise the latter day. The stone that was cut out, without hands, which smote the image became a great mountain, the stone was - knowledge of G*d - which filled the whole earth. By knowledge of G*d - shall the divided kingdom – Christianity and Islam fall. By this it shall come to pass in the end of days, that the mountain of the L*RD'S house shall be established as the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many peoples shall go and say: 'Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the L*RD, to the house of the G*d of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths.' For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the L*RD from Jerusalem. And He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. Is.2:2-4
16. GRATEFUL FOR HUMANITY'S HERO
Judith Weinstein ,   NY   (08.02.06)
Michael's heroism & passion for Israel, leaves Jews everywhere proud & grateful for his sacrifice to civilizing humanity in the face of an evil that rejects the goodness exemplified in Michael's bravery & commitment. May his parents find solace is knowing that many share their sorrow & honor the immense contribution Michael achieved in his absurdly curtailed life. G-d bless your sons & the courageous IDF.

sorrow ,   Israel   (08.02.06)
Jonathan, Michael 2 additional names to add to our list of losses. For all the questions asked and unknown answers...whether or not this war was necessary, the killing of soldiers or civilians is never something that we want to hear/see. As little comfort as it is, your children (God bless their souls) fought for something they believed in the right of the Jewish people to live in Israel...I pray for the day that we are able to finally live in peace with our neighbours..as I believe that it is possible, I just pray that more innocent lives both in Israel and Lebanon need not be lost in order to achieve it.
19. to naive Norweigen, BIBLE =SATANIC BOOK
Ronald ,   Los Angeles   (08.02.06)
If you criticize Prophet Muhammed(pbuh) because he fought back against his enemies then you might as well criticize Prophet Moses, david, joshua, caleb, etc. who according to the bible killed women and children: http://www.answering-christianity.com/sami_zaatri/terrorinthebible.htm FOR EXAMPLE: 1- Suckling infants were executed by the tens of thousands: 1 Samuel 15:2-4 2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. 3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. 4 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah. A praise for dashing little children against rocks as a form of revenge: Psalm 137:8-9 8 O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him who repayeth to thee thy deed, That thou hast done to us. 9 O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock! I find it to be absolutely ridiculous that the bible feeds us all kinds of lies and contradictions about "love your enemy", and yet, we see mass slaughter of suckling infants and innocent boys, girls, unarmed men, women (old and young), and innocent domestic farm animals by the tens of thousands! It is clear that the inconsistent man-altered, man-corrupted and morally corrupt bible is nothing but a false book, and can not be a Divine and Perfect Holy Book!

phkl ,   Jerusalem Israel   (08.02.06)
This another wasted life... The solution is not military despite what our cheating military brass is telling us. This country is the hostage of the military establisment ... It is ti. me to stop now and let the diplomacy works. Any new victim will die in vain.. (no flame please : my son is serving inside Lebanon since 10 days ago...)

Ron ,   Lebanon   (08.02.06)
We'll always be there to respond to people like you and your friend in #2. You wish the opposite. U might get it in your dreams. If you knew something about history and geography you would have spared us such a stupid comment. I was betting on you American jews to come and retrun the clock 20 years back. Instead you send the israelis to do the job. Just know that we're both fed up from extremists like you and ur fellow american jews. Why don't you try doing the same thing as your countryman in this article. I'm sure u'll be returned to your sender pretty soon (i doubt it is God who sent you)
24. Where are you peace loving people?
Ron ,   Lebanon   (08.02.06)
how many people more you want to see dead before understanding that this is not the solution ? Children, women, old people and youngmen are being sacrificed. for what? I'm not a hezbollah fan and i don't know if I can trust israel either. I'm one of those people who believe that this part of the world can live peacefuly and set the example for the rest of the world. I read Israeli newspapers searching for people who share this common vision, and what do i read? posts like #2 & #13. Believe me, we'll all be doomed if we choose extremism. Israel showed its strength, Hezbolla will drop its arms after prisoners swap, return of shebaa. Stop this bloodshed, do the exchange, negociate a settlement and I can assure you, no one in lebanon wants to wipe israel of the map. Isolate extremists. Don't let them rule the world.

3 idf killed on *tuesday*. dozens of israelis killed since the hizbullah began this nonsense. if you gave even half a sh*t about your own people you would be calling for nasrallah's head. you and those like you are what's wrong. pull your head from the sand and fight for your innocents the way israel fights for hers.
29. to Ron
Liora ,   NYC, USA   (08.02.06)
Ron, You sadden me, you are so filled with anger. Israelis indeed do want peace obviously I am not so niave to say that Jews are perfect and that there are no bad people. There are those that are just as stupid as terrorist, but not the majority by far. Israel would love to live in peace with its neighbors, however the reason Israel tends to use so much military force is because it has had to. Israel has no choice because so many times has Israel been attacked through wars and suicide bombings. Now we can sit here and argue untill we are blue in the face about wether its because Israel is an occupier or whatever but the truth of the matter is, Israel needs to exist because the Jews area collective peoplehood who need a place of there own. I agree the Palestinians do to but most do not want to share they want all Jews expelled. Its true that many many arabs and muslims the world wide wish to see Israel wipped from the map. Its tradgic truley that Lebanon has to pay a horrific price for Hezbollah. These terrorists are filled with wrong teachings about Israelis from the beginning of their lives and hate is all they know and hate is a virus that so quickly spreads. No one wants this war but Hezbollah this is why they started it, they want to see their own ppl die because they believe even in death they will win. They want to make shayids out of their countrymen. They want the peace loving people of Lebanon to hate the "evil Zionists" and unfortunatly it is working because Israel has to use its might to protect itself in the long run. AS for those prisoners you speek of that Israel holds well my friend they are in prison for a reason. They are murderes, people who came into Israel with the only perpose of killing Israelis, like a four year old girl as she slept in her house. These are the people you would like to see free? As far the sheba farm land, it was origionally part of Syria and not Lebanon anyway, it wasnt on the origional map of Lebanon. Israel as far as I know doesnt even have anyone living there anyway. Violence begots violence, Hizbollah started this war with violence not negotiations so this war will end with violence. Most Israelis are peace loving so dont get discouraged if peace is truley want you say you would like then you must never give up seeing the Jews as people just like you human, loving, hopefull, scared, brave, flawed, and as fathers, brothers, sisters, mothers, wives, husbands, children,freinds....all of us wanting a stable homeland just like you.
30. Mike LEVIN--My Hero
David ,   Holland, PA   (08.02.06)
His name is Levin, and he had two sisters, not brothers. He was my friend and grew up in the Suburb of Philly in Holland Pa. He was a great kid. We went to Israel together with other young Americans in 11th grade. Since that trip he couldn't look back. He is a true HERO. RIP, you will be missed.
