1. Hizbollah rockets are INDISCRIMINATE
Noam ,   DC/ Boca Raton, FL   (08.04.06)
the "party of God" just launches rockets to kill anyone who dares to live in Israel. If you are Arab Muslim or Hebrew-speaking and Jewish, the rockets will come after you. While Israel has killed civilians accidentelly who lived among terrorist strongholds, it exhibits no such policy as Hizbollah does of killing people simply for living in a country and daring not to move.
2. Hizzbollah murders Arabs so where is the Arab outrage?
Daisy ,   USA   (08.04.06)
Arabs have killed more Arabs than Israel. While Arabs kill each other on purpose Israel does it in self-defense. The silence in the Arab world is deafening.
3. Fallen civilians
Evyatar ,   San Francisco, USA   (08.04.06)
Hezbullah indiscriminately targets Israel and Israeli homes to maximise civilian deaths...These Israelis had no 2-hour warning for the barrage of missiles that ended their lives. What the media will not show you in America is that a lot of the north is populated by Jews and Arabs living side by side and it is those who perish, the ones that get along and co-exist as Israeli's...Hezbullah thinks it is attacking Jews only but it is attacking those who choose to live in the free world...No one is keeping these Israelis who are Arab from moving to a country where Islamic rule prohibits freedom of speech or religion, there is something to Israel granting equal rights that keeps them there, a promise of a better life and future for their families and themselves... The twisted wrath of Hezbullah and Islamic fundamentalism will not prevail! G-d bless our fallen citizens and families
4. #! accidentelly?!!!! hehehe

SAM ,   USA   (08.04.06)
Dear Noam, i am against killing civilians who ever are they. almost 1000 civilians has been killed so far in lebanon. do u think all of these are mistakes? do u think Hizbollah fire rockets ffom north lebanon? which is 210 km far from the borders and the katuashaya range is maxuim 30 km !!! what does the electric power stations and dairy factories has to do with hizbollah ? all the cicivlians targeted down there and were not injured said that there were no hizbollah around and there is no rokects there and let me tell lu this even if rockets were fired between house why u target the houses and children 2 thirds of the people killed were children. so stop pretending that u guys are victims Isreal is the reason for all the problems in the middles east and when u guys accept and resepect human life other people will accept and respect your the isreal's human life and rights.
6. Horrible! Horrible! Horrible!

Am yisrael, chazak ve emats !

Shira   (08.04.06)
I doubt the death toll number in Lebanon. Although a lot of civilians got killed, at least half of these "civilians" are Hezbulla terrorists. Since these "brave" Hezbulla soldiers like to hide btw the civilian population, it is very difficult to distinguish who's innocent and who's not. My heart cries out because of the children on BOTH sides. These are the true victims of this horrible horrible conflict!
8. #2 why silence from Arab world when
rachel ,   usa   (08.04.06)
Arab kill each other on purpose?because they are afraid of each other ....they are terrrorized to speak up ..they will get killed.....its fascism
9. the difference...#4
Jesus ,   SF, USA   (08.04.06)
Everyone know that there will be casualties in war. The difference between Israel and the terrorist groups is...Israel trys to minimize the casualties by letting the civilians know ahead of time to leave the area. Terrorist groups such as Hizbullah and Hamas kill the people around them by using them. Knowing very well that if civilians get killed, the world will cry, "murder!" If anything, I would fight these terrorist groups. If I know I might have a chance of surviving by fighting these terrorist groups and kicking them out of my country, I would take that chance...not for myself...but for my loved ones. Ricky, it is sad to say that you do not value life. Hizbullah has used people to justify themselves. It has been shown from previous experiences that they kill the innocent and blame others. Don't be mad at Israel for pulling out the thorns of terrorism. I invite you to take a step back and think objectively. Ask yourself, "If these terrorists had not done what they did, would we be in this mess?" Ask yourself who is really to blame, and before you let your emotions take over...stop and think. Hizbullah and Hamas don't care about the people. All they care about is destruction of peace. If you support them, then you're no better than they are. If you don't support Israel for defending herself...then you're just as bad as supporting these terrorist groups. These terrorist groups disgrace the real freedom fighters. Fighters that valued life...and valued the lives of others. The head terrorist say that it's worth dying for their cause...ask yourself...if it's that worthy...why are they putting themselves in the front line? They use and force others as their pawns. Freedom fighters...real leaders...will put themselves first to protect their people...not the other way around. So..in ending...I do agree with you on one thing... .700 deaths were not accidental! These terrorist groups knew what they were doing when they forced people to stay in their towns. Knowing full well that Israel would attack the locations in which these terrorist shot rockets from. So yeah...it was unknown to the IDF...but that goes to show you how "courageous" these cowards are! Oh..one more thing...what animal would charge money to let people ride their cars to leave their towns? Or haven't you heard what these cowards were doing? Go back and really look into it...don't just eat the lies that are fed to you, Ricky. "It hurts when you get a thorn in you...and it will hurt when you get it out...but when you do get it out...it's a relief!" Lebanon...we know you're hurting...but be strong...soon you'll be free!
10. IDF, Pack your Bags, and Let your governement talk
rola ,   montreal   (08.04.06)
the more you insist on war, the more IDF will Die, talk, this war is going nowhere...
11. You have done a big mistake today!
Lebanese   (08.04.06)
During the whole war we had several main bridges in the Christian region, in Jounieh and North Madfoun area, and one In Byblos, Today IAF bombed most of them.. you don't know what you have done now! the whole christian community will switch against Israel, even during the Syrian blockade to the christian Zone, these bridges where a red line and stayed intact since they were the arteries of the christian zone.. you shattered the last hope of a future ally in the region.. alas.. alas.. now We will meet on the frontline united christians and muslims vs Israel..
12. Israel logic
Lebanese ,   Lebanon   (08.04.06)
sorry for all civilians,but if think as Israel command & goverment when they attack civilians in Lebanon they justify by saying that IDF throw leaflets for people telling them to leave. here it is the same thing Hizbollah also told all israel people that he will fire all territory till TA because all citizens must flee to GHAZA,there it's a little calmer
13. 12# theres just one problem with your logic
J. Sayghe ,   World   (08.04.06)
israel drops the leaflets on the town they are gonna bomb, and they have controll + they want to minimize civillian casualties. Israel knows that if one arab (civillian or hez' fighter dressed as a civillian) dies the world will go insane and cry murder! where as hundrends of thousands of Sudanese are buchered by Arabs and the left wing lunatics dont give a sh*t. hezbollah on the other hand wants to kill as many civillians as posible and does not controll thier attacks with pin-point accuracy.
14. #10
(08.04.06)
this is the greatest thing to happen to lebanon in 30 years. just think, lebanon in the end will be able to take control of hizbullah, weapons taken from hizbullah, international forces protecting its borders, and business will soon be booming throughout lebanon with reconstruction money from the arab world. yes there is pain now, but a lot of good to look forward to. history may see this as the beginning of a bright future for lebanon.
15. Why did Lebanese People (all) allow Hezb to take over Lebano
Alan ,   SA   (08.04.06)
Even now you are screaming how wonderful is Hezballah and how you hate the Jew Zionists . Lebanese are like Mel Gibson-after one glass of Alcohol Gibson arrested for drunk driving. He then screaming how he hates the Jews.He even asked Policeman if he was a Jew. Lebanese first got drunk on Hezballah, and now ask if Bush and Blair are Zionists If you cant hold your alcohol like Gibson, then dont go into the Bar !
16. Look how many Muslim CHILDREN in Israel that Hez killed
Alan ,   SA   (08.04.06)
In this article and in Nazareth.Where else . You tell them "dont worry mother, we declare your son a special Shahid" .You are really stupid .
17. Thank You
Anissa K. Fogel ,   Canton, Ohio, USA   (08.04.06)
Thank you to all the soldiers and citizens who fight against terror and stand proudly under its shadow. The world owes you a debt of gratitude. You are strong and brave during these troubled times. May peace prevail soon. Shabbat Shalom.
