32. US MAJOR MEDIA
myron ,   USA   (08.08.06)
This demonstrates once again why American Jews worth their salt must finally quit reading the anti-Israel , Left media, such as the New Yokel Times, The Washed Up Post, The Lost Angeles Times, CANUSN, etc.
33. #11- The hardest grapes to reach are the sweetest.
Lisa ,   NYC   (08.08.06)
The hardest work reaps the greatest rewards. This is the American version of the saying. We do not cop out when confronted with difficulty. Or claim life is sour or not worth it. We try harder. Israel does too.
34. Deliberately negligent
Ronnie ,   Sharon Israel   (08.08.06)
The amount of lies ,errors and stupidity in comments coming from experts abroad is incredible.
35. Let's hear it from the SOURCES.
James ,   Toledo Oho USA   (08.08.06)
I'm sure intellegence agencies and agents stretch their imaginations and speculate all the time. That's why they are good at what they do. Its a talent. BUT...we need to hear it from the source...not a biased tongue. We hear that kind of deceitful talk all the time in the liberal media, of which the Washington Post is chief, "Govt sources said this... , Confidential insiders said that....Persons in the know say..." , ...all kinds of anti-status-quo disinformation. Make this man give up his sources by name if it's true. I doubt that Israel would actually do that because for every launcher that they find and destroy there are probably 10 more sitting in a warehouse in Syria ready to be smuggled into Lebanon. I think Israel should keep every launcer and missle they find instead of destroying them. That would be free weaponry to launch back at them.

37. To #11, Mr. Kuwait
Dave ,   USA   (08.08.06)
Sorry you're so angry about the IDF. I realize that the idea of actually defending your country is completely alien to Kuwaitis. Where were *you* when Saddam occupied your country?
38. That was quick
AZ ,   USA   (08.08.06)
Didn't take long for Jews to be accused not only of starting the war, but of perpetuating it. It's a twisted testimony to Israel's greatness. We are considered so effective and brilliant, that there is no such thing as amistake. It must all be deliberate - part of a master plan. It's th emodern Protocols of Zion, except it accepts the strength of the Jew and applies the same twisted perceptions.
39. A must read link (humorous) about Israel's right to defence

40. He will claim that Beilin told him
Alex ,   LA, USA   (08.08.06)
Remember that communists and Marxists like Beilin and others want Israel to loose, and these people are very close to all correspondents, from CBC to CCN. They almost live together. For them small area of North Tel Aviv like all of Israel. And Beilin is the most progressive leader of this people.
41. 37... So patriotic
Al ,   Salt Lake City   (08.08.06)
Don't pat yourself on the back yet. If it weren't for us Americans putting our nickels into your tin cup, there wouldn't be an Israel. Don't get me wrong, i support Israel and it's fight for survival, but lets not get carried away.
42. Tom Ricks and Mel Gibson
Lauren ,   Israel   (08.08.06)
must hang out a lot together.
43. Same batch
Kevin ,   Wooster, Oh USA   (08.08.06)
He is from the same batch that says Israel and USA created this war. Basically wanting the troops to kid attacked and kidnapped in the first place to justify the war. Of course I bet he believes 6,000 Jews left the World Trade Center and USA used remote controlls to fly the panes into WTC and then used explosives to blow the rest of it up. Lets not forget that Israel and USA are the cause of Global Warming.
44. Anything to promote a book what an Idiot.
Mike ,   Israel   (08.08.06)
45. # 11 Cowards? Your joking right Allah Boy
Kissel   (08.08.06)
Your Hiz boys use civilians as human kevlar. They force them by gun to stay in the area and be colateral damage. Thats cowardice punk. Your Hiz boys launching unguided rockets into civilian areas, beyond cowardice. That is an example of hate at it's worse. You muslums are so salty that you lost your pride at the hands of Jews so many times. lol x 10 You hate us soooo bad you even proudly send your children to blow up in front of shoppers and innocent lives. Cowardis Hate. I sit here and type and I can even feel your blind hate and I laugh. lol. Your lives are trained to revovle around the fact that all of muslum inabilities and insuffientcies are because of the Jews. HA HA HA HA Could it be you do not apply yourself for advancement? Huh? Maybe? You have only been taught to apply hate towards Jews. You lie and cheat and steal as you see fit, because your Koran tells you it's ok, if it serves the purpose of Allah, how backwards. Lie, cheat, and steal till you have the planet, then your lie can be true and Islam will be the one and only. Conversion at the sword or death by the sword, great Religion you guys got. Your not gonna get the world, and your not gonna get Israel Get BENT Chuck. Islam lol, lol.
46. #30 Habibti Lisa & all others
Ibrahim ,   Kuwait   (08.08.06)
I respect what you are saying as it is clear that you strongly believe in it. Can you convince the hundreds of mothers who their kids were killed and their tiny body parts were scattered into pieces by the F16 bombs from 15 KM high from the sky? Do you watch TV? Are you really paying attention about the civilian's causalities in Lebanon? I don't think so because if you do I don't think your female heart would accept it. You said why would Israel want to kill and anger its neighbors? and what purpose does it serve? I will tell you. Israel can not lose this war and they do not accept but to win. Hizbollah and to the surprise of the IDF managed to sustain their strength and to cause Israel a lot of causalities that Israel was not used to. And because the 1 Israeli soldier is so precious and worth of 100 Lebanese soldier or civilian, Israel was badly affected. They could not defeat Hizbollah and till this moment they did not achieve but a few KMs inside south of Lebanon. They could not face hizbollah face to face so they chose to kill their families and kids! Not only this, Israel wants to cause a civilian war in Lebanon and that is why they were targeting the Lebanese infrastructures and some Christian areas. They want the Lebanese to turn on Hizbollah and to have a civil war simply because IDF could not do it. Unfortunate for Israel this caused a great support to Hizbollah from all Lebanese, Arab world and lot of EU people. The war did not start before 28 days. Israel occupied Lebanese land and kidnapped Lebanese people. Hizbollah kidnapped the 2 Israeli soldiers to free the Lebanese POWs but Israel chose not to negotiate and to go to war. Hizbollah is a Lebanese resistance movement and want their land and people back. If this war ends soon, (and mark my words) there will be a treaty to give back the Lebanese their land and their POWs and to unarm Hizbollah. That what Hizbollah wanted in the first place! Couldn’t Israel do this long time ago and save us this bloody war !!
47. WAR IS A DIRTY GAME... IT MAKE SENSE TO ME, SO IT'S POSSIBLE
(08.08.06)
48. Anti semite Ricks
Vincent ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.08.06)
This guy is no different from the Arabs who blame Israeli agents for blowing up Jewish interests overseas. A real jerk.
49. #11Memory loss.thank u lisa +37 too.
(08.08.06)
So when saddam took over Kuwait..uall just sat back and said hey look there's saddam he's trying to invade our country..what shall we do shall we defend ourselves with the help of the Americans those people whose flags we like to burn so often..(ps if u need a fire..wood will suffice!) or shall we just sit on our laurels and wait for them to finish us off. Now pretend for one minute that Saddam is Hizbullies and Kuwait is Israel...now stop hiding behind your hatred..sit down with yourself and think, really think, what this all means...It is about defending ones people..no one wants to harm the Lebanese..let them do what they want its their country..trouble is they let "OTHERS" come in and run/ruin it for them. The Lebanese are good people..this anger and hatred should be directed towards those who are trying to destroy Lebanon from within...those cowards, that use civilians as shields..what a load of crock..to purposely leave launchers on the ground.. I have taken all the crap these talkbackers have fed us..but now you have well and truly insulted our intelligence....we may have our mad moments, we may make mistakes, some with horrible consequences...but that stupid we aint.
50. Stop attacking kuwait and respond to the subject shame on u
Ibrahim ,   Kuwait   (08.08.06)
You guys are pathetic, you can not respond logicly you jump to Kuwait and Saddam. We are talking about Lebanon here.
51. Ricks rubbish
Sandra ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (08.08.06)
To: #29 & #39 Thank you both for making me laugh. As Shai knows, it's somewhat stressful here in Israel at the moment. As the saying goes, "laughter is the best medicine".
52. The Evidence Suggests He May Be Right
World Citizen ,   the world   (08.08.06)
Afterall everyday your military leaders and Olmert declare that Israeli forces have crushed Hezbullah and everyday Hezbullah sets a new record for missles launched. Now either Olmert is lying to you and the IDF and IAF are the most incompetent military organizations on the planet OR the IDF and IAF are deliberately targeting civilians and giving the missle launchers a free pass! Maybe it will get you some sympathy in the US and they will attack Iran for you.
53. idiot
jack ,   Rockaway NY   (08.08.06)
no matter how many jews get slaughtered world opionin would be against them so y would they do that?r u another kissup to the moslems in hope they dont kill u in their world jihad campain.
54. to # 11
DS ,   USA   (08.08.06)
If we Americans didn't liberate you from Iraq, you would not be writing freely to any news papers or to post a message here. America is for Freedom even for an idiot like you.
55. Credibility gap
Patricia ,   Hawaii, USA   (08.08.06)
I noticed he said US military analyists not Israeli. It is amazing how he can then generalize this opinion of 2 "US military analyists" as if Israel actually is doing this. As all of us know these military analyists come out of the woodwork during wars without much credentials other than having been in the military. I question if just being in the military makes their opinions any more reliable than mine. But it does tell you how much the media uses pure speculation as documentation of their opinions. Finding out how truely biased and dishonest the media and how far the media stretches the truth is at least a positive outcome for all of us. It is obvious to me that journalism has lost it's integrity.
56. Everyone needs an enemy...
Mustapha ,   Tripoli, Lebanon   (08.08.06)
Everybody needs an enemy, especially when you are in the business of politics. Politics is about manipulation and deception. Israeli politicians are just like the rest of everybody else. If you think your elected officials are "men of god", you are delusional. To them, we (you, me and everybody else) are all consumables. So, don't just reject an idea just because it is so outlandish. Mark my words. Israel will never completely destroy Hizbullah because the mere existence of Hizbullah as a threat to Israel is good for the politicians of Israel. Everyone needs an enemy.
57. Best seller
Mustapha ,   Tripoli, Lebanon   (08.08.06)
Well apparently the guy has a lot of credibility (a Pulitzer prize winner and an Amazon.com best seller, etc...)... Attacking someone just because he presented ideas that are incompatible with yours can only diminish your own credibility. And for those of you, who would like to take a look a Tom Ricks latest book Fiasco (a best seller), check http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/159420103X/sr=8-1/qid=1155066115/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-7803444-3804712?ie=UTF8
58. #41 Speaking of patriotic
(08.08.06)
I suggest you re-read your target's statement, then your response. It is you who appear to have gotten carried away. Regardless of funding, Israel has always put in her own blood in self-defense unless specifically told not to by the US (as in the first Gulf War). This is in very stark contrast to the spoiled Kuwaitis. As for tin cups, Israel being the only truly reliable US ally in the Middle East - and therefore indirect protector of US oil interests - means she is no charity case.
59. He's right.
Matt ,   Virginia Beach, USA   (08.08.06)
I beleive him 100%.
60. This says it all
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.08.06)
If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel
