5. THE LEFT ARE THE SCOURGE OF ISRAEL, EVEN WORSE THAN THE ARAB
a jew ,   diaspora   (08.10.06)
its a disgrace! these people should be transfered to lebanon, they take advantage of democracy. It is highly questionable if these people are even jews, they are no doubt part of the eruv rav (mixed multitude) that left egypt with the jews, hanging on to them for a free lunch. now they hold seats in the Knesset, these leftists are truly twisted and serve the terrorists fight against us. Where is the lebanese "peace now and meretz"??? come to think of it, ive NEVER heard of ANY arab "country" who have an active left wing peace agenda. HAS ANYONE EVER HEARD OF ONE???

7. War is last resort not knee-jerk reaction. STOP THE WAR NOW!
Proud Grandpa ,   www.KingArik.net   (08.10.06)
Bring IDF soldiers back home alive and well. According to IDF's report to the government, apprx. 300 IDF soldiers will die in this war, plus 400 injured. Olmert is gambling with the lives of our sons, thinking this is a considrable price for a glorious victory that would wipe out his shameful mistakes. Cease fire NOW! Stop this futile and deadly war which would only destroy Israel.
8. PEACENIKS: MOVE TO NEW ZEALAND
Ertok   (08.10.06)
Its obvious you dont appreciate your own country. Dont appreciate that talking doesnt ALWAYS work when you are dealing with hate-filled enemies. Your attitudes are dangerous in a time of war. You people just dont get it that Hezbollah want to KILL YOU just for what you are, not even WHERE YOU are. They dont want to talk . Get the hell out of everyone's way!
9. Anti War
Joe ,   Oman   (08.10.06)
It is time to hear some voices against the war in Lebanon. It is time to allow the Lebanese govt to send its own troops to take over and secure the southern territories. Allow some credibility for this hard working govt. Save your lives and ours. Issue one warning: If U screw up again, u will have to deal with our IAF over and over. Allow a political solution that can last for years instead of a military one that may last for a while.
10. PROUD GRANDPA IS RIGHT-A NUCLEAR INVASION IS THE ONLY WAY
Proud Grandma   (08.10.06)
11. the Left needs psychological help.
Michael   (08.10.06)
12. Peace Now
Matthias Roth ,   Switzerland   (08.10.06)
"Peace Now's decision to join the protest is a symbolic as the movement refuses to identify itself with radical left-wing groups." Well, in my opinion, Peace Now IS a radical left-wing group. Anti-zionist and anti-israel even more than the world media!
13. Meretz and the left
jeremy ,   Kibbutz Hulata   (08.10.06)
Why would they want to protest the war?? This is a Just war. Those of us living in the North, know this. I guess, Yossi Belin and the rest of his kind just will never get it. Maybe, they should go live in either Jenin or South Lebanon because all they want to do is destroy Israel. They brought Arafat to Israel, now they want to bring Hizballah. What's next Iran and Syria??
14. Lebanon don' want this war neither
Jack ,   France   (08.10.06)
15. Protest in TLV ! No guts to go up north ....
Lionel B ,   Tel Aviv   (08.10.06)
I want how shocked I am by those people demonstrating in the streets of Tel Aviv under flag of Libanon, Palestine and even pictures of Nasralla while people and soldiers in the north are dying to protect their freedom. Democracy has one limit : DECENCY ! It's easy to go from Kikar Rabin to Dizengoff center shouting for peace and then going to drink coffees by the beach. To Peace Supporters, no israeli wants to be at war, it's a need, a duty, a civic responsability !! Go to up north with white flags before our soldiers dies to express your point to Hezbolla and be ready to face Rockets !!! Shame on you.... you are irresponsable and indicent to express yourself this way in middle of fire....
16. i think the LEFT did enought DAMAGE already
Moshe ,   Beit Shemesh   (08.10.06)
1993 Oslo "peace" led to 2000 Oslo War. 1999 Lebanon retreat "withdrawal" led to 2006 re-engagement War. the LEFT should be out of BUSINESS - they are LIARS -the claim to bring peace but start all the WARS
17. Righwinger says "Maybe they are correct !! "
Ryan H ,   Ashdod Israel   (08.10.06)
I am not left wing by any means, but I believe that the cost to Israel's people must be the deciding factor. I am not sure how much faith I have in the overall success of an expanded ground campaign. I feel the problem should be tackled at source, Iran. Hopefully this can be done using NATO , or US troops. The Govt is losing the war for the hearts and minds of the world. They must be sophisticated in their policies, this is not a conventional war and cannot be fought by conventional methods. Bush has fallen intop the same issue in Iraq and Afganistan.
18. Peace now movement !
Lebanese Abroad   (08.10.06)
I am glad to see israely people think this way .. this is the ONLY HOPE that I have in a peace one day .. and my msg to the Israely people who are protesting and are against this war .. as a Lebanese ..

We want to live in peace...we want you also to live in peace..life is too short to spend it fighting while talking can solve problems !! PEACE NOW .. Enaugh wars and killing on both sides .. This is the only way out for both our countries and people..force will create hate...PEACE NOW !! God bless all peace wanting people ..

marc darmon ,   herzliya-IL   (08.10.06)

20. Reply to Proud Grandpa - 7.
James ,   Glasgow, Scotland   (08.10.06)
I too am a Grandfather who has seen his offspring, as soldiers, in danger from terrorism. Fortunately my boys all came home safely, but many others didn't. Freedom to think and do without interference from another, especially a religous another, is something that should be as dear to you as it is to me. That someone else's son or daughter is in the field to give you that freedom should make you not just proud but beholden. Bringing them back now will not guarantee peace or security, rather a return to the rockets and kidnapping that started the whole affair. Remember the freedom they are fighting for is the freedom for you to be a Jew just as it is for me to be Christian in a world where Islam rages against both. As long as Israel fights we know that freedom is still living. When Israel is beaten and her freedom gone, we are as good as gone too.

22. to israil solder

to israil solder: you most know south lebanon not mean nablus or ramallah, and hezbullah army not mean kateb alaqsa or hamas army , so i hope from you familys pressure to these stupid Ministry of Defense ot stop these war
23. Meretz and Left Wing: Israel's home-grown tragedy
Yakov ,   Ashkelon   (08.10.06)
For years Meretz and the left-wing have been sending messages to the Arabs that we are weak, gullible, divided and open to attack. They have encouraged the terrorists and Moslems to keep up steady pressure and war of attrition against Israel. Time to send Meretz and other traitors to Lebanon. They hav been showing solidarity with terrorists for years anyway.
24. Words don't stop rockets, soldiers do
westbankmama   (08.10.06)
Soldiers are dying so that the rockets won't be launched at Israel, and these morons still think that the blah-blah-blah of the security council will bring peace. Why was the war justified a few days ago and not now? Because maybe the ground troops will actually go in and kill the terrorists? The left wing is rightfully scared to death of this war - because it is clear to everyone that the casualites are a direct result of their criminally negligent policies. We should have stayed in Lebanon and not run away six years ago - and everyone knows it.
25. to #20, James
david ,   tel aviv,israel   (08.10.06)
Thank you James, your comments are very intelligent and sincere and I am glad that finally someone posted a normal comment. By the way the person signing PROUDGRANDPA usually writes anti-Israel comments, therefore I think his comment may be sarcastic .
26. Leftist Zionist parties? they get my vote.
Joy Springreen   (08.10.06)
27. Agree with #17: I am a rightist and against the ground war
Ami ,   Raanana   (08.10.06)
It is wrong to sacrifice more soldiers on a ground operation to root out the enemy. The solution is simple: give every village south of the Litani a 24 hour cease fire as a last chance to evacuate. During that time there will be no offensive military activity in the area, even against rockets. After 24 hours: level every single village in that area with artillery, tanks, and planes. Afterwards ground troops can mop up the remaining Hizbullah bunkers. You'll see: if we promise to continue this policy if the rockets continue to fly - there will be no more rockets.
28. 15 killed in one day ... Congratulations IDF
palestine.my.love ,   palestine   (08.10.06)
who want war , should go and fight with soldiers , to be in tank inside lebanon is horrible matter , Go now and volunteer in IDF ... words and talks is easy thing , but fighting against great fighters is so so so so hard task
29. Who Controls Peace Now
Sam Weinstein ,   USA   (08.10.06)
