i believe that ahmadi njad was right when he said : when you sow the wind, you will reap the storm. Israel's long history in the middle east was established on nothing but blood and massacres ...so it won't be a big surprise to wake up one day and find israel has vanished completely....not so many will be sad.

10,000 troops is the current number that is in Lebanon since the cabinet voted to insert more forces into Lebanon, don't sprout some silly unbased claims.

So what if the jews were relatively safe in Egypt? Muslims still killed jews in other states, need i remind you of the "dima" rules that were instilled in the north african muslim states before the colonial conquest of france and the UK?

Here is evidence that Hezbollah is using civilians as shields (article as well as damning pictures). http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0%2C%2C19955774-5007220%2C00.html

those who left the shoes, and ran like running olympic heros from the south of lebanon in 2000 are the israelis , they were the pioneers in running of the year, and now i think they will do the same in 2006 :P www.nkusa.org

Israel gave Lebanon the mines map ages ago. It's been verified by the UN. Look it up. Meanwhile, I'm sure Hezbollah would be happy to find a solution of its own sort. The Basiji, that great Iranian revolutionary invention, sent hundreds of thousands of Iranian children out to blow up -- with their own bodies -- the mines that Iraqis planted during the Iraq-Iran war (yet another example of Islamic peaceful co-existence). They were thoughtful enough to sling plastic keys, made in Taiwain, around the kids' necks so they could get into paradise after becoming shahids. This is the proud tradition of love-of-children that Hezbollah is part of. As for Shebaa farms, the UN has already told everyone that land belongs to Syria. Besides, is war the only way you know how to do anything? Israel has already said that it would gladly negotiate away these 12 lousy farms for a peace agreement.

Friendly fire when it blows a hole in your a** - The reason there is no peace is because the ARABS don't want peace - as soon as they do peace will exist

After the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. And when they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mount. And Moses went up unto G*d, and the L*RD called unto him out of the mountain, saying: Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto Myself. Now therefore, if ye will hearken unto My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be Mine own treasure from among all peoples; for all the earth is Mine; and ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. To be in Egypt means to live in idolatry Our Creator The Almighty G*d Master of Legions redeemed the Jews from the house of bondage for His Own Hashem is CLOSE to the Jews To be in the wilderness means to be

Dont know if you will publish it but it's still interresting to know that what was right during the Nurenberg trials and the Milosevich trial may be one day right for the actual Israely decision makers: article 3: Destruction of cities, towns or villages, or devastation not justified by military necessity. Attack, or bombardment, by whatever means, of undefended towns, villages, dwellings, or buildings Article 33. No protected person may be punished for an offence he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited.

you and your gov is the dumb here tel aviv will be destroyed yay

the number of hizbollah heros who fallen is way less than that it's not more than 78 you guys must do something with this bad habbit you have in israel, i mean laiying to much

all, to thank Ehud 'Barach' (ran away) from Lebanon and the Woman in Black.

Lebanons existence must be felt to be at stake, and should be. The fact is that I longer care for peace, just for quiet. You don't like us fine, you don't want us here fine, but you mess with us you lose a country. Simple as that, we must destroy Lebanon. It's a possibility that Hizb'allah might survive, but even then what protection would they bring. They simply allowed their 'nation' to be wiped out too easily. We must wipe Lebanon off the map, and you will see as Syria, Iran and all the rest will finally and truely leave us alone.

Mr. T. Wally, You sound like a reasonable person although you bend the history a little: The Nazis murdered 6 million Jews, 73 war ended with Israeli forces surrounding your third Army 100km from Cairo. Besides that, you are mostly right. I can perfectly understand why Arabs refused to accept Israel. However, like you said, this is our historical land and we have no other place to go, so we’ll fight for our legitimate right to have our little safe state. If the Arabs countries were honorable, they would have recognized our rights here long ago. Instead, your countries haven’t done anything constructive to help the Palestinians and kept educating your children for radicalism and hate towards Jews. Egypt never really tried to promote the peace. Where are the Egyptian tourists? If there is such a strong brotherhood among Arabs, why don’t you allow the Palestinians to immigrate to your countries like we allow Jews from all over the world? The answer is that your corrupted oppressive regimes are comfortable with the current situation. It allows them to channel the rage of the masses toward Israel instead of confronting with the internal problems. The bottom line as always, is that if Arabs lay down their weapons there will be peace. If Israel lay down weapons there will be no Israel. BTW, I’m 4th generation in Israel. My origins are half Yamane and half U.S (previously Poland). I think we Israelis have a lot in common with Arabs, but the change of hearts is mostly up to you. Restrain your numerous Hezbullah-s and peace will come quickly. Peace, R.L

Evidence shows that Hezbollah has been hiding amoung civilians. The link below from the Austrailian newspaper "Herald Sun", shows in words and pictures the undeniable truth. From The Article: "The images, obtained exclusively by the Sunday Herald Sun, show Hezbollah using high-density residential areas as launch pads for rockets and heavy-calibre weapons." .... "Dressed in civilian clothing so they can quickly disappear, the militants carrying automatic assault rifles and ride in on trucks mounted with cannon." .... "The images include one of a group of men and youths preparing to fire an anti-aircraft gun metres from an apartment block with sheets hanging out on a balcony to dry." .... "Another depicts the remnants of a Hezbollah Katyusha rocket in the middle of a residential block blown up in an Israeli air attack." .... "The Melbourne man who smuggled the shots out of Beirut and did not wish to be named said he was less than 400m from the block when it was obliterated. 'Hezbollah came in to launch their rockets, then within minutes the area was blasted by Israeli jets,' he said. 'Until the Hezbollah fighters arrived, it had not been touched by the Israelis. Then it was totally devastated.' " http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0%2C%2C19955774-5007220%2C00.html

Its' because of people like you that your land may not be here much longer. I'm from the US and without our support, you would have been jihad-ville years ago. Stop being an ignorant moron and pissing off your neighbors. Israel is like the that last family to move into a neighborhood , a family who after 50+ years can't make real friends with just one of the families on the block. You don't think there is something wrong with that? I'm sick of wasting my tax dollars on a country that never wants to live in peace. And all them smart bombs we just gave to Israel aint even hitting Hezbollah...what a waste of time, money and innocent life. WWJD?

24 days, and u achieved nothing... even if u will get more weeks , u will acheive nothing.. U r fighting a ghost called hizbulla.. its no where, and its everywhere!! Not even advanced military technology can destroy it!! Keep on trying, and u will loose more soldiers on the ground. Good luck , loosers ;)

mark, the evidence , you are prsenting that hezbolla is using civilians as sheild, proves once agian that the american people are victims of the misleading propoganda, you are trying to fool the people here, these pictures goes back to PLO when it was in lebanon, iam not pro hezbollah, but i can tell you, that those people very honest, they helped a big section of the society there, they have opened school, medical centers, etc.. they are very secretive, you cant see them in the streets, even isreali airforce cant see them, they are tough fighters , no doubt, my friend, the bottom line, the jews stole the land in 1948, can you tell me, where was isreal before 1948? iam a plestinian refugee my self, my parents seeked refuge to lebanon after the jews stole the land, my grandfather, told so many hurifing stories when the jews enterd my villiage, in palestine

Most of the 400+ dead Hizbullah militants were killed in ground battles with the IDF. The IAF is simply out to destroy Hizbullah's supply routes and infrastructure, which it has done. Israeli infantry is doing most of the actual fighting. That Hizbullah's main goal is survival is a testament to Israel's military supremacy. Hizbullah could never hope to defeat Israel militarily, so it sets the bar as low as possible. What we see now is Nasrallah making empty threats in effort to get a ceasefire going.

It's great that someone representing one of the worlds most hypocritic countries has the nerve to call for "war crimes". When the hezbullas are attacking from civilian areas this is not a crime? Where is your ability to think rationally? are you saying that it is justifiable to shoot missles from the center of cities, but when retaliation occurs, this is a crime? Who is using civilians as shields? and then when the hezbulla shoots missles at innocent civilians this is not a crime? or threatens to shoot at known civilian targets and cities this is ok? Your single mindedness and ignorance amazes me.

Israel has been our homeland for centuries. The Arabs were only guests in this region. In the Independence War 5 Arab armies invaded our tiny country. Bince their defeat- thanks to the extraordinary courage of our youngsters- our enemies hane never ceased to plan to destroy us. Sorry Muslim Swede:We will exist here forever.Hope that hateful creatures like you will be gone from Earth. It will be a much better place to live in then. Amen.

Nazi-ralla and his Iranian Division are using human shields, and nothing makes them happier than the death of a child that can be used for their devious propaganda. Thank you, Mark. You are a friend indeed. God bless you!

You forgot to mention that hizbullah needs to stand accountable for war crimes ... for the same reasons you mention. Have you always held arabs to a lower level of accountability than jews? is it that you do not believe they can be accountable so why bother......is it a racist view on your part against arabs?

TO N°1 and N°10 YOU AREN'T ARAB BECAUSE YOU DON'T SAY ZE TRUTH AND EVRY BODY MAY BE KNOW which NATIONALITY YOU have!!!

To all the Israelies : Really, when you lose in fighting .... Yo start to send bombs to bridges and childrens ... It was forbbiden to attack the israeli cities ... now Nasrallah (our hero) made our dreams reality when he attacked : Haifa >> Kiryat-Shmona >> Afula >> Nahariya >> Akko >> ??????????? Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ALLE LA NASRALLAH .. .................................................................. Muslim

Dear mr Wally Being from Egyptian origin, you certainly know the history of both our "people" and possibly remember why arabic and hebrew are so similar. You certainly know also what are the family links tying us together so I will forgive you about calling us "guests" In the area ! If we were guests indeed, none of us would have worked in Egypt long time ago ! This being said, I would like to invite you to think about the causes of the deafening silence from most of the arab countries about the current situation ( and the Palestino-palestinian conflict) . You may want to spend some time reflecting on the reasons why the disarmament of militia in Lebanon was never accomplished.....and equally wonder about the why and how of the build up of a non governmental or guerilla force in south lebanon for the last few years. It might be of interest also to document yourself on the internal fighting which is taking place between the Shiah and the sunni factions of Islam as well as the absence of Arab unity since 1948. You may also want to get enlighted about the fanaticism of some dictators to day in power which have managed to get the international community against what is " non-occidental". I am convinced you already know about the endemic corruption of the arab governments along with the mafia practices used by the various " freedom movements " led by hoodlums such as Georges Habache or Yasser Arafat who placed their own well being and material comfort before the well being of their own people. Being an educated person, you will certainly remember what specific relationship tied in the past the Al HUsseini family with the regime of Adolph Hitler, nor will you be surprised when I will remind you that the Waffen SS included muslims troops set up with the blessing of the Jerusalem muphti, a supporter of the NSDAP ....To make it short, I find your analysis a good yard short of what reality is . Before arabs were called to fight Jews in the early days the state of Israel Jews and arabs were able to live together even if educated in different ways. Many things have changed today which are contributing to the situation and I do not want to list them as this might be perceived as an attempt to humiliate those who have been fully unsuccessful while Israel has become a major economic power ( which did not happen overnight !) What did the arab regimes accomplished for their people in the last 100 years ? Democracy ? where ? Education ? Certainly not . Most of the Palestinian intellectuals have been educated elsewhere ? Did we see any real efforts for peace ? Certainly not....Do you see any Jewish or Christian terror group operating in Europe or anywhere else in the world ? No of course ...The problem is wider than Lebanon, wider than Gaza. Gaza is used by intellectual terrorists as an excuse for spreading terror in the name of God . The shebah farms are a " detail" in this conflict. The truth is that Hizbullah started the whole thing and now needs to face the implication and the consequences. The truth is that Hizbullah and Iran have been antagonizing Israel and the international community for a long while and that it comes now to an end. The " arab nation " as a whole is not moving to help and you know why ? None of the existing regimes( besides of few dictators and terrorist ) want to see Hizbullah in their own land short of having to start a new Black September process. So guess who is doing the clean up for the international community ? Ya Saalam

if you are saying that nasralla will die during tis war?so dream on,otherwise everybody will die one day,even you john(stupid)!!!hahaha

ben,i think you are just a stupid guy,same like most of israeli civilians who listen to their goverment,and in fact,they keep on liying.do you know that israeli soldiers death is much bigger in quantity than hizbolla death?loser...

Is is killing its own citizens by creating more and more Hizbulla members.

Dear Mr Proud Lebanese This Hizbullah "ghost " you proudly nurture is in fact a parasitic octopus that sucks your blood for the benefit of distant megalomaniacs like the son of Assad and the deranged Ahmedinejabber. You are so blind to this parasite, that you crow about Israel ideaths and losses, while ignoring the blood and pain of your own people. Take a look in the mirror before you call Israel :"losers". Your stupidity is prolonging the agony for millions of people, including yourelf.
