61. #46 FALSE!
AK ,   Israel, Tiberias   (08.03.06)
(Tanchuma, Shoftim 15): "When you go forth to battle against your enemies" (Deut. 20:1): What do the words, "against your enemies" add? God said, "Go forth against them as enemies. Show them no mercy, just as they show you none." "The death of the evildoers is beneficial to them and beneficial to the world. The death of the righteous is bad for them and bad for the world" (Sanhedrin 71b) (Berahot, 62B) – “Hakam Lehorgeha, Hashkem Lehorgo” - “If someone tries to kill you, rise up and kill him first”
62. #46 Christian
Ronnie ,   Israel   (08.03.06)
I hope you realize that the Islamofascists openly say that when they finish killing the Jews, the Christians are next. It's also in your best interests that Hizbollah be defeated and not allowed to form an Islamic state in Lebanon.
63. Prime Minister Olmert: "We have.......
Ari ,   Jerusalem   (08.03.06)
destroyed Hizbollah infrastructure!" Yes Mr. Prime Minister, you've did it indeed! It's time to kick this idiot out of office!
64. where is the outrage you say? here....
chaad ,   USA   (08.03.06)
it's not as if this isn't reported in major news outlets - the media has probably been getting a little tired of publishing things like "15 katuyshas hit , 10 people lightly wounded." There's no outrage "yet" at the 7 killed because it's not an unusual event, let alone a humanitarian crisis. Israel is pretty good shape I'd say compared to Lebanon. If 7 Israelis were being killed every day and the Lebanese army was in Israeli land waging a air/ground offensive I think the UN would sing a different tune.
65. I don't know, but with all those 'fake Jews'....
AK   (08.03.06)
here screaming for Israel to stop the war, Israel must be doing some damage to Hezbollar after all.
66. #10 Michael - fallacious reasoning
Dennis ,   NYC, U.S.   (08.03.06)
Any reasonable thinker who's not a pacificst knows that for Israel, this is a war not of choice but of necessity: After building up some 10K missiles and formidable military capability, Hizzbolah, avowedly bent on a sovereign nation's destruction, on 7/12/06, simultaneously invaded that nation's U.N.-undisputed territory and launched rockets at a nearby town as a diversion for the killing/kidnapping of Israeli soldiers(i.e., engaged openly in a war of aggression and terrorism). For Israel NOT to respond fiercely militarily would be tantamount to national suicide. For an intelligent adult to not know this and not see this, to not know that killing of civilians in war is always unavoidable but is not tantamount to terrorism, to not know that Israel tries to limit civilian casualties, Hizzbolah, to maximize them, but instead to add up early numbers upon which to draw conclusions is either bookwormish to the danger point -- I'd hate to see your December 1941 analysis of U.S. progress in the Pacific War -- or something more insidious. Read some history, about war, about rules of international conduct, about genocide, about terrorism, and reflect upon what you read, and stop writing nonsense. Or maybe you can't understand that, yes, Israel targets Hizzbolah, and Hizzbolah, cvilians, because something is terribly awry in your mindset. Could that be it?
67. Israelis are now being killed because of people like you
Ak   (08.03.06)
People who cheer for the enemy.
68. read # 17 ...Dan is 100% right
Avi ,   Tel Aviv / Israel   (08.03.06)

69. give it all back?
vanda ,   france   (08.03.06)
YEs of course give it all back... And in less than one year there will be no more Israel. No more! that is what you want? I don't want it! Israel is the only worthly country in middle east. I am from Iran and not jew, I know what I am talking about! So please. Do you really think that Nasrallah and Iran will let world in Peace ? No never. They d'ont care killing their " own" people. Arabs in Israel will have the same fate as jews and christian, don't abuse yourself. Iranian government, Hezbollah are all the same ... Fucking terrorists!
70. the silence from the UN is deafening
Arie   (08.03.06)
71.  we are behaend you israil

72. To "Christian" #46
True Christian ,   Israel   (08.03.06)
Read the torah yourself correctly!You have completely mis-interpreted it. The Lord was calling judgement on the Chaldeans, the root nation of Iran and Iraq today, who were busy trashing the entire Middle east, Lebanon AND Israel.
73. #15 H
Mick ,   Australia   (08.03.06)
Human rights want defend agressors.
74. Beirut = Tel Aviv
Jimmy ,   Beirut   (08.03.06)
You are not used to this before hein? Do you want to try how bombing looks like in Tel Aviv? Attack Beirut. You should have not messed with Lebanon
75. everybody MUST read 57
Ali ,   Falasteen   (08.03.06)
This is the only way that # 57 has suggested. Otherwise, Israel is dreaming for ever
76. #24 WHAT A LOAD OF BULL SH**
(08.03.06)
Stop this paranoia and stop the war You're sick and need medication… we're dying and scarifying too much because of you and people like you… Stop the war... We lost! Can’t you see? RIP
77. #30 I believe Hezbollah statistics more than I believe IDFs
(08.03.06)
Hezbollah has more credibility than our government... Just yesterday... he said that we won the war and destroyed Hezbollah, yeah yeah! So where those rockets came from? Maybe from the Mars!! Who knows what Olmert next lie will be…is I’m sick of lies! Why we keep complaining that they’re killing our civilians? We’re killing Lebanese civilians everywhere in Lebanon, well deserved I believe! Stop killing their civilians and save our souls from the counter attacks a** holes! DAM IT
78. An eye for 1000 eyes. Israel needs to carpet bomb Beirut
RA   (08.03.06)
For every Israeli killed, 1000 Lebanese must be killed.
79. Nasrallah is Making Excuses
RA ,   NYC   (08.03.06)
Haha i love how he was trying to justify the fact that Hezbollah is getting obliterated by the fact that "they fight till the end." Of course they fight till the end, they have no other choice. If they run, Israel will get them. If they fight, Israel will get them even faster. Nasrallah sounded defeated. God bless the IDF!
80. #67 - NO !! -- It's becuase of people like you, mate!
David ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (08.03.06)
I WANT TO LIVE!! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK MY NEIGHBOR GOT KILLED IN FRONT OF MY EYES, I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE SICK OF LIES AND SH**
81. #19 Israel should carpet bomb
Mark ,   USA   (08.03.06)
Why can Hizballah attack civilians endlessly and Israel is restricted to military targets only? Israel needs to target civilians as well.
82. #26 DR
Mick ,   Australia   (08.03.06)
in 2000 Isreal didn't withdraw was forced to leave as if you remember they left one night and left everything behind even their SLA so it makes a diffrent to withdraw under the resistance or to withdraw according to UN resolution in which Israel did comply since 1978 invasion I don't think they teach you history in the US.
83. Arabs Whine after Every War they Lose
RA   (08.03.06)
Why is it that Arabs always pick fights, then lose the war, then whine about it? Cant you act like men and accept responsibilities for your actions? What would Muhammed say? I bet you he is embarassed at the Muslims today. If anything, history shows that he supports Jews more than Muslims. I certainly understand his position. Why would anyone support a nation of failures?
84. #46- you will be killed for being Christian by hezbollah
RA   (08.03.06)
Id like to see what you have to say then. I hope you know that Jihad doesnt just mean an attack against Jews, its an attack against "infidels" - yourself included. You should wise up and see that what Israel is doing benefits you more than anyone else.
85. #46 Are You Crazy
Shawn ,   Washington DC, USA   (08.03.06)
You speak as if the Hezbollah go around saving the world from the evils of peril. As if the Jews have provoked this war... I hear no-one in the world crying for the innocent jews that have been killed. Hezzbollah is not innocent of crimes against man. Had Lebanon stepped up to the plate and protected ITS OWN BORDERS AND PEOPLE, do you honestly believe that this war would exist? Why should Isreal not be able to protect themselves as any other country does? Every country has the right to protect there people. And if Lebanon would put forth an effort to stop the Hezbollah, they would be protecting themselves, thier neighbors, and peace would once again fill the streets. This war is not One Sided... Yet the world, the media, and you seem to think so...
86. IDF: Kill as many civilians as possible
Mark ,   USA   (08.03.06)
South Lebanon is Sodom. It must be destroyed. Do not look back or you will turn into a pillar of salt. The world forced Israel to destroy Gush Katif, a good righteous community.
87. EARY POSTS ARE PSYCH WARFARE - BEWARE
anya ,   Brighton, UK   (08.03.06)
People - many of the early posts are clearly NOT from Israelis but are aimed at lowering morale. Don't take them seriously, if you read them carefully you will see that they are Hezbollock propaganda.
88. Dear idiots,
Chatich   (08.03.06)
@ #33 (Aren't you all overlooking something?) No, YOU'RE overlooking (or, more likely, choosing to ignore) something. Hizbullah terror rockets started AT THE SAME TIME as the henious and UNPROVOKED murder and abduction of IDF soldiers on sovereign Israeli soil. This all occurred prior to a single Israeli soldier, or even bullet, crossed the border into Lebanon. Do try to pull your head out of your own arse before speaking. @ #57 (How many times have your leaders started wars that were supposed to be the solution to Israel's problem?) Ooh, that's an easy one. The answer is exactly ZERO. In fact that's the precise answer to the question "How many wars has Israel ever started, period?" OK, cue the next professor...
89. #85 Shawn
Mick ,   Australia   (08.03.06)
If you want people to cry for Israeli killed you should get some 50 - 100 Israeli in one spot get them in a place where Hizbollah is shooting missiles they get killed and injured in 1 hit then a the world will be upset with Hizbollah and ask them to stop attacking Israel got it.
90. #2 Mr Spaniard
Dan ,   Pittsburgh USA   (08.03.06)
There will be peace when Israel achives victory. Peace does not come through talking with these islamo facist scum, nor will peace come from believing that they want peace. THEY WANT ISRAEL'S DESTRUCTION! NEVER AGAIN!
