Olmert taking Israel to self distraction stop the war war is never an answer you can start a war but is not easy to stop it.

Actually there are open miractles daily in this war. Could there still be any doubt that our Father in Heaven is protecting us? May He keep protecting and watching his beloved children. And may this war be the final war of redemption and instead of Tisha b'Av, the coming of Moshiach. Amen!

listen of course there are 2 ways! 1. talk 2.fighting and talk is always the best way BUT here is diffrent!!! the terror in our country is not something new to all of u..and everytime when we are try to be nice to our enemy we get more and more terror here is an example:look what happend from the disengagement plane-we gave the palestinians Gaza with all the difficulties that connected to this situation, we spend a lot of maney into it and it wasnt enough to make everyone satisfied.. and then in the plestinians elections the "hamas" which is a terrorisem organization won with more than 70% from the palestinians population votes...since the disengagement we have more and more terror in our country..and that led to the crisis in the middle east...it's hard to be nice with someone and to get a slap right on ur face.. and if the IDF wont fight agaisnt the hizballah..i predict there will be more bloodshed and more kidnapping to our people..and we will never let this happen!!!

You are clearly a muslim. If anyone started this war and is heading to self destruction, its Hezbollah Syria and Iran. They havent seen the end of it yet. Israel will make them all pay a heavy price. So beware my muslim friend, all your pals are going to be destroyed soon.

We witness 'miracles' every day living in the Promised Land. If over 200 missiles have fallen today without the loss of life (one person was killed while riding his bicycle), then we had better believe that SOMEONE is looking out for us. Have a meaningful fast.

Is it possible - is it conceivable - that Israel is losing its war in Lebanon? Perhaps Israel needs to realize that it can not win this war and it can not destroy Hizballah. Perhaps, Israelis should wonder, is this the end of Israel Supremacy in the Middle East? or Perhaps they should wonder if its time for Israelis to pack up and leave the promised land. Since it is a land that they took by force, it seems only by force Israelis will leave it.

200 Rockets?? Wht did you do in the past 3 weeks, Olmert????

Anyone remembers the Petrol and flames our US marines threw down on the fields on Iwo Jima, when regular bombs could not fish out the remaining Japanese fighters? With fanatic enemies like these, you just have to resort to tactics which will kill civilians. Remember the pictures or Palestinians brutally killing their suspected collaborators? How about all the “honor killings” among the Muslims? They don’t care for their kids! It is all just a cheap game to cry foul on Israel, which tries to avert civilian casualties, as much as we did it Europe, Japan, Vietnam, Chechnya, Serbia, etc.

all hezbollah does not want to kill anybody and they want to live in peace but give me one goodthing israel did to us???our prisoners are in ur jails , our land (shebaa) is occupied by your forces , would u give us these things and garantie not to play with your planes above us; we will leave you in peace; u still follow your leader who has nothing in his head just killing; so do what ever u want but please know first who is lying to u b4 u hate us for what we are doing (defending our land).

Maybe it is a warning signs that the bigger one is coming if Israel does not clean it's act and leave the occupied territory, as you know a day will come and justice will be served, before the hurricanes you might have nice breeze

well let me tell you I'm non believer as you all fighting under gods name and god meant be helping each other not killing each other and as for for destrying us well your governoment is governoment is destroying our economy in Australia.and as far I can see that you F... in Iraq qnd Afganistan and you f...... up Israel to fight your fight and they sucked in.

u talk like u have a big trust in your self ,well i see u trembling from now, don't push it so hard pal, your heart will be broken soon, by the way muslim at least doesnot lie and doesnot hide in NewYork while his pals are byebye in israel, go now your mama condy called u ...

The more rockets they shoot, the easier it is for IDF to locate them and at the same time they are shortening the conflict by using up their rockets. Israel will come out on top as always. As Gillerman said "Lebanon will always be behind us...or we will always be in front of Lebanon"

You say: 1) "Hizbullah does not want to kill anybody." But, they are openly committed to Israel's distruction. 2) "Our land is occupied by your forces." Funny, Syria refuses to say its your land. So does the UN. 3) Defending your land? I suppose that was a defensive kidnap of two soldiers and killing of 8 more to start this war. In brief, you are woefully wrong.

Your thought process is so ridiculous and obvious faulted I dont even know how to respond. Stop letting yourself be brainwashed. Try to let the facts set in, and make up your own mind. Turn off that al manar

If Israel were indeed supreme in the ME, this mess would not be happening! While I believe Israel *will* prevail, Israel is the underdog. Outnumbered, out gunned and outsized in terms of land occuppied. The equalizing factor? Israeli perserverence. The same spirit that made the desert bloom against all odds and made the land the envy of every Arab state will enable Israel to prevail. And that is what this is all about. Poverty vs prosperity, vision vs delusion, making change happen vs whining about problems. After the Jews were driven out of most of the land, they decied to reclaim it. The Arabs were happy to exchange worthelsss land for hard earned gold. The Jews learned to tame the land, make it blossom, make it habitable. Along the way they built industry and agriculture. Now the Arabs want the land and prosperity without having to work for it. They expect it to be handed to them. Look what ahppened when they *were* handed the land. . . the greenhouses in Gaza were destroyed, the buildings demolished and the land was returned to being unproductive once again. These terrorists do not *deserve* the land they covet!

You have no business to be in what you call Shebaa farms. Har Dov is Israeli land freed from Syrian occupation. And the baby-killer Samir Kuntar should rot in Israeli jails for the rest of his life. It is not Israel, it is Hezbollah who is destroing your beatiful country.

How Hizbullah's born ? What was the real reason for such an organization ? Why they want to destroy israel ? and what are there aims ? These things are important to know Hizbullah

and UN condemnations?? The double standards are ponderous.

What a horrible letter for a 15 yr. old Israeli girl, Michel to read. Shame on your same old Palestinian-type rhetoric. You would make me laugh at your words, but I won;t because they are not really funny, just ignorant. For one thing you state the mother of all lies.......that Hizbullah want to live peacefully. Come on now! They are known terrorists and branded terrorists my many nations, including Canada. Their only goal is the extermination of Israel from the middle east. That too is a known fact. Obviously that 15 yr. old Israeli girl has more insight into the situations and more intelligence than you and many other Arabs to reason out the situation constructively. My advice to you is to think clearly before your write!!!

i cant believe that u guys still believe him he has told u so many lies so far and u still believe him he had chnged his mind so many times and u still believe him from ditroying hisbollah to weakning him to killing sayed nasrollah to destroying his infrastructures to capturing a high ranking members in hisb we have to wait and see the new surprise about that why they dont show us pictures as they were usually good in doing when they bomb the rocket launchers not showing us when the rockets were launched and lots of things will come up soon on and on and on

If hezbollah does not want to kill people, then why did they start this whole thing by invading israel, killing and kidnapping Israelis? And although now it looks too late, at the begining Israel was ready to leave as soon as it got its soldiers back and rockets stopped falling on israel... Seems to me that Hezbollah is the antagonist here.

with no real claim. The Hebrews are the original residents. Deal with it.

HIZBULLAH STILL ABLE TO FIRE ROCKETS ... I THOUGHT ISRAEL SAID IT KILLED 350 OF THEM ... THEY ARE STILL FIRING ROCKETS AND ISRAEL WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP THEM EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!!!

there are nothing to think about - 210 rockets should mean 210 dead terrorists next day.

we know that the hezbullah charter calls for the ultimate destruction of the state of Israel and that nothing less is acceptable...the charter also specifically provides for an armed struggle and genuine negotiations are specifically forbidden to accomplish this goal. actions speak louder than words..don't they?

You remind me of Iraqi information minister, al-Sahaf, who claimed that Iraqi forces had retaken Baghdad International Airport and that no US troops are in the city after the city had been taken by the Americans. Don't lie to people who know the truth - you only make yourself look foolish. We are here to stay and the faster you get used to the idea the soon we can all live in peace.

There is a difference between a civilian and a military personel. Hezobolla attacked IDF soldeirs and not civilians. On the other hand, the so-called israel state attacked only civilians and the numbers show. Also, so funny how you used the word invading. I'm curious to know which dictionary you used to pick up the meaning of this word. Anyways, the so-called israel state is still occupying part of our land and had INVADED our airspace so many times before this war erupted. I advise you to recheck the dictionary you are using AND GET THE EXACT MEANING OF IT.

Guys, why Doesnt you president accept the deal that was mentioned by hizballah and even signed with General Oun in lebanon -return sheeba farms -return prisoners -hizballah will return your prisoners -hizballah would disarm if israel meets all these points -he will give his weapons to the leb. army. what could you ask more? we as lebanese are not agains Jews these are lies that are fed to you. but the proble m is its the US i want to show democracy by force and using you guys. Israel want peace same as us.. but the US is dont. I feel really sory for u guys being used like us by Iran and syria.. we are in the same ship.
