31. Cry me a river
Jacob Field ,   United States   (08.07.06)
That's what you get for hiding masked cowards under women's skirts and using babies as human shields. You disgust me. It was YOUR country, Lebanon, that was one of the seven Arab countries that attacked Israel on the day she became a sovereign nation in 1948. It was YOUR country that hid the Japanese Red Army guerillas that attacked and killed 26 people at Lod Airport in 1972, and who hid the murderous PFLP in the Bekaa Valley for 22 years. It was YOUR country and government that did not stop the Lebanese Christian Phalange massacre of palestinians in the Sabra and Chatilla refugee camps in Lebanon in 1982, which YOU pinned on the Israeli people. Your country has Jewish blood on its hands for more than 60 years. You deserve this. It is your payback, you filthy war criminal.
32. Assads weepy puppet
Neal ,   NJ,USA   (08.07.06)
You chose not to enforce 1559. You allowed a terrorist organization to live in your south. You didn't even try to prevent the abduction of the soldiers. You are still in bed with Syria or you wouldnt be Prime Minister. The title of this article should be "Mourning his own stupidity and cowardice"
33. What a pathetic man
Robert Tilden ,   Sheridan, WY, USA   (08.07.06)
I felt sorry for this man Siniora the first week. But he will not stand up for himself. He is not the prime minister of Lebanon, he is actiling as if he was the Leban ese beauty queen. "I pray for peace for my country". Where is his authority? He has the French army knocking on his door, he has the Israeli army doing what they please all over his country, and he insists on playing hostage to Nasrallah. Fouad, get a grip, take control.
34. tears
BS meter ,   Canada   (08.07.06)
Fuck him. He should have asked for help in the early 2000s, when he knew exactly what Hezbolla and Iran were building up.
35. Thats why they call him a Seniora (lady)
Mike ,   Israel   (08.07.06)
Rather than do something he crys. He asks for a cease fire but does not excepts one. Typical arab BS. Just look at the picture of Putin rollin his eyes that is the exact look of the "normal world" Get over it lady get a grip and do something for your people.
36. WRONG - ISRAEL MOTIVATED BECAUSE ITS BEING HUNTED
andrew ,   miami,fl   (08.07.06)
TO EXTINCTION WHEN IRAN AND SYRIA OPENLY STATE TAT THEY ARE GOING TO DESTROY ISRAEL - THAT MEANS THEY WANT TO HUNT IT TO EXTINCTION THIS IS NO PROXY WAR - THIS IS ISRAELS "RESISTANCE" AGAINST BEING HUNTED TO EXTINCTION
37. Great Crocodile Tears
Mark ,   usa   (08.07.06)
Siniora complains about devestation and yet is against the un cease-fire.
38. salvage dignity!
winman   (08.07.06)
is Israel trying to salvage some dignity now after loosing so much in the past few weeks? wake up israelis your so called invincible army is nothing but a myth and all the world has seen that...
39. Holocaust???
DR ,   Florida, USA   (08.07.06)
The fact that these scumbags use this term is not only ridiculous, but it should be condemned by everyone around the world. To compare the murder of millions out of pure hate to what the IDF is doing (going after terrorists) is just plain nuts. The Arab world seems to like the comparison a lot, but they are fooling no one. Lebanon is reaping the benefits of housing and supporting Hezballah...plain and simple!!!
40. Siniora
David E ,   NJ USA   (08.07.06)
I don't have a problem with Qana or Houla. If somebody is shooting at you, then you shoot back. Let them worry about the civilians. Their warning (in a Hezbollah area) is when Hezbollah starts shooting off rockets. But I am troubled by the devastation of the bridges and so forth. That is excessive, not effective and not right.
41. Crying for Iranian occupation
Daniel ,   Amsterdam   (08.07.06)
42. He is reaping what he sowed.
(08.07.06)
43. Spineless
AM   (08.07.06)
I used to think I respected this man but i was so wrong. He has neither the guts to say that he is with hizbullah or against them. He should chose because tears won't help him. Really I am shocked that grown men can act like this.
44. give this guy an oscar
noah ,   toronto   (08.07.06)
45. #44 Siniora needs to go Hollywood
Mark ,   USA   (08.07.06)
He allowed hizballah in his country and deserves to have it completely destroyed.
46. Bomb Siria and Lebanon
SR ,   NY, US   (08.07.06)
War will stop when no Hizs left if part of Lebanon may also goes with it so it’s like surgery to remove a cancer tumor. Syria next should go next along with Iran... Stop the spread of islamic-fashists…
47. Sinora in tears..........
Riv ,   Jerusalem   (08.07.06)
Tears can not obliterate this fact: doing nothing while Hezbollah took over your country is why you cry right now. Israel did not create this problem rather the culture of death and terror to which all the leaders (including you) in the middle east are too cowardly and lacking the 'will' to face. Let this be a lesson that in order to advance democracy you must fight terror. Period. Be a man even if you take a bullet for it! Remember Anwar Sadat. He did not leave a legacy of cowardice rather a legacy of courage. REPLACE YOUR TEARS WITH COURAGE AND BALLS OF STEEL. The legacy of Nazi Germany and now the Middle East is yours to change. See for yourself: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2967276362246845611&q
48. Did he reject a ceasefire ? (Yes)
Ryan H ,   Ashdod Israel   (08.07.06)
The Lebanse Govt Rejected the Ceasefire draft, they Rejected having UNHCR evacuate people from southern Lebanon (heard on BBC interview).
49. Democracies need to unite
Moshe ,   Boston, Mass   (08.07.06)
Its high time the democratic countries to realize that the common enemy is Arab/Moslem terrorism. Lets hope with the Israel's tragedy some new thinking will emerge. Israeli Defence Force could actually do some good by training troops in other countries. All Democratic countries must invest in defensive anti air missiles and satellite technology including drone technology. Arabs/Moslems can eventually be defeated.
50. # 35 - Mike
Lauren ,   Israel   (08.07.06)
I agree that this guy is a real ham, but why do you have to use the term "lady" in such a derogatory manner????? As an Israeli woman, who can defend her country just as well as the men, I find this comment of yours somewhat chauvinistic, what's up with that? Now is no time to be macho.
51. isn't time to stop the war
Samuel ,   London   (08.07.06)
The Israeli message to the powerless, hopeless Arabs has been received (do not F---k with Israel. Isn’t time to stop the war and killing honest people in both sides. Further more Israel now is in a very strong stand to give the region peace and stability, and declare it self as a supper power, give the others their lands, and get to the root of the problem and let our children and future generation live side by side in peace, in anther ward do not give neighbouring countries any excuse to do what they did, and if they have the intention to harm the state of Israel every body knows what going to happen. Israel, after more than 50 years of war still get it wrong, you people, need to get to the heart and mind of normal people in the middle east, not to the fatty kings and presidents, who are glued to their chairs, using their people to stay their, with help of our friend America. Let people talk to each other knows each other, help each other in human way. This is the only way for peace. Israel action at the time being does not help that much. The longer the war the worse the situation is, now you have to face one million hezb allh instead of 2000. I hope one day Arabs and Israelis can be normal people as they do in London. They eat, laugh, party, socialize, and do business together .
52. When a man cry
Lebanese ,   USA   (08.07.06)
hope that the country of each one of u who laughed on PM Siniora's tears will be distroyed on ur heads!!
53. the lebanese want peace!!
manal ,   tripoli,lebanon   (08.07.06)

54. cancer
oferdesade ,   israel   (08.07.06)
i wish there was some sort of sign that mr. siniora does read ynet. i doubt it. i'll try this nevertheless. i truly feel for your tears (even if they are fake, which i hope they are not). i know what loss is - personally - having lost one son. unfortunately (and my other son and his friends are now in the army, so this is not easy to say) we are faced with a cancerous growth. you have to decide, however, whether you prefer to die of cancer or remove it. sometimes it's enough to cut out the local growth; sometimes you need to cut deeper and go after the spreading extensions. sometimes you need to go to the source - fearsome as this is for us all and expensive as it will most probably be. you try to damage as little of the surrounding tissue as you can (and you know for a fact with regards to the israeli army, that this is so - no matter what you or people far removed from the region may vocally claim). all through you vomit and hurt and listen to the harmful pratter of journalists and europeans (yes, with very lower-case, insignificant "j"s and "e"s); and all through you hope at the bottom of your heart thaat at the end of it all you will enter remission, with iran limited to iran, syria limited to syria and the hizbollah - with its clowns and loud-mouthed psychopaths - a distant and indistinct memory of the past.
55. But no sympathy for moslems kiled in Iraq, Sudan, Somalia...
Russel ,   Tlv   (08.07.06)
Could it be that they all just hate Israel and that there is no real Islamic "brotherhood"? Duh!
56. Ignorance
Rami ,   Lebanon   (08.07.06)
Saniora might be mistaken to cry, but no human could see what the Airjets are doing and not to cry but it seems you havenl;t gotten to the level of humans yet. Stay ignorant but this should be stopped from both sides for the sakes of the kids on both sides. Education is the key not hatred massages.
57. Churchill's Words
Ronnie ,   Israel   (08.07.06)
Here's what Winston Churchill said after the Nazi's sent rockets into Britain.... "To win against a ruthless enemy, you have to be ruthless yourself. Moreover, you cannot impose on yourself the burden of moral and legal constraints if you seriously want to win against an enemy who has no principles at all; you will earn endless accolades and honours for doing so, but you will not win." That's a quote from a speech he made to the people of Britain. And, as history shows, he made good on his words and bombed Germany relentlously. And our goal is also to win, not to "turn the other cheek" as we are asked to do by the worlds deluded liberals sitting in their safe-havens far from harms way.
58. IS HE CRYING BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE DID WRONG?
DACON9 ,   TEARS OF A CLOWN?   (08.07.06)
IS HE CRYING BECAUSE HE COULD'VE HAD PEACE BUT CHOSE THE WRONG PARTNER? IS HE CRYING BECAUSE HE DIDNT THINK ISRAEL WILL STRIKE BACK? IS HE CRYING BECAUSE HE THOUGH ISRAEL WOULD GIVE UP? IS HE CRYING BECAUSE HE REALIZES THAT HE NEVER SHOULD'VE LISTENED TO ASSRAHLAH? IS HE CRYING BECAUSE HE CANT STEAL FROM THE LEBONESE COFFERS? HITLER CRIED IN HIS LAST MOMENTS I AM SURE SO DID STALIN I AM SURE AND ALL THE OTHER DICTATORS AND DESTROYERS. SO HE IS CRYING.... SO HAS ISRAEL BEEN CRYING SINCE THE DAYS OF THE PHAROAHS FROM THESE ARABS FROM THE CHURCH FROM XTIAN MISSIONARIES CHASING US JEWS WE HAVE BEEN CRYING FOR 3000 YEARS IS HE CRYING BECAUSE HE DIDNT READ TORAH THAT GAVE HIM """GDS"""ROAD MAP? WE JEWS ARE CRYING AND WE ARE TIRED OF CRYING
59. MORE REASONS HE IS CRYING:: HE IS LOSING!
DACON9   (08.07.06)
60. LEBANESE GOVT COLLUDESwith HIZBULLAHfor Israel'sANNIHILATION
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (08.07.06)
Terrorist Hizbullah is a member of Lebanon's government, with seats in the cabinet. Lebanon's government colluded with Hizbullah in unprovoked, vicious acts of war against Israel. According to U.S. intelligence sources, Hizbullah has launched more than 4,000 missiles, unguided rockets and mortars at Israel. Haifa, Israel's third largest city, is under regular rocket barrage. Currently, one million Jews live in bomb shelters. Lebanese army radars have been used to lock in Israeli targets for Hizbullah missile crews. Prime Minister Siniora on July 30, 2006, publicly thanked terrorist Hizbullah for its sacrifices in the war against Israel: YNETNEWS (07.30.06) Lebanese PM thanks Hizbullah for 'sacrifices' http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3283763,00.html Hizbullah has purposely embedded themselves in densely populated civilian areas in Lebanon. Hizbullah despicably shoot from inside mosques, hospitals and schools in south Lebanon. Hizbullah ruthlessly uses human shields to protect rocket launching teams who set up rockets and other weapons in basements of apartment blocks, schools and mosques. Images show Iran's proxy, Hizbullah, using high-density residential areas to launch rockets: http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,,19955774-5007220,00.html Murderous Iran has repeatedly stated its intention to wipe Israel off the map is dangerously close in achieving nuclear capability to execute its genocidal goal - Lebanon's government and Hizbullah, fighting a proxy war for Iran share responsibility for causing all of the deaths, injuries and damage wrought in Lebanon and Israel. Global jihadists - Iran's proxy, Hizbullah's evil goal is the murder of every Jew. On October 22, 2002, Nasrallah told Lebanon's Daily Star: "If they (Jews) all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide." U.S. France, and the UN are fully aware terrorist Hizbullah will NEVER disarm and that no UN resolution, no truce, no international force, can stop the religion-inspired hate of Arab countries and Islamists worldwide - a fanatical hatred that seeks the annihilation of Israel. Israel must be allowed the human right of defeating her enemies! In the global war to bring all nations under Islamic subjugation, Israel's fight for freedom and human rights is a fight for freedom and human rights for all nations. The Innocent Bystander Myth Evelyn Gordon, THE JERUSALEM POST July 20, 2006 ...Far from being smuggled in without the government's knowledge, weapons earmarked for Hizbullah arrived openly in Beirut Airport almost every week - and the airport, unlike southern Lebanon, is fully controlled by the government and the Lebanese army. Yet the government never ordered the army to confiscate these shipments. Regular arms shipments also came overland from Syria. Yet these, too, passed openly and without hindrance through border crossings controlled by the Lebanese government. The Lebanese army has even openly assisted Hizbullah during the past week's fighting. Hizbullah's successful missile strike on an Israeli naval vessel Friday night, for instance, would have been impossible had the army's radar stations not given Hizbullah the ship's coordinates. Hizbullah does not have radar stations of its own. Far from repudiating Hizbullah's attacks on Israel, the Lebanese government has actively defended, facilitated and assisted them at every turn. There are thus no grounds for treating it as an innocent party in this conflict....
