2. I thought Israel wanted peace?
Zack ,   Canada   (08.12.06)
One minute Olmert says he will give time for peace, and then he decides to expand his offensive. Doesn't this show the true face of the ISraeli gov't?
3. STOP This guy NOW!!!
Halutz is Crazy ,   Halutz is Crazy   (08.12.06)

Guys your mufti from Jerusalem met Hitler during WW2 histrorical fact look in internet he told to Hitler don't worrie i will solve Jewish problem in Midle East . When he back he told to all muslims of Midle east kill Jews and they did , also u can find in hostroy some facts that i found about jewish comunities in ME Maroco 1944 269,00 jews 2004 5,000 jews , Tunis 1944 102,000 jews 2004 1,500 jews , Iran 1944 100,000 jews 2004 23,000 jews , Libiya 1944 38,000 2004 20 jews and much more look in internet so since then UN made more then 100 resolutions about palestinian refugies and no resolution about jewish refugies from arab countries u just kicked them out and they had no place to go till israel was established . So till today dear muslims u follow Hitler's tradition killing jews that what palestinian Mufti wanted much time before israel was established so all your stupid tears about your ppl make no sense sorry but u still have to pay for many things nobody wants war but you . So guys or just stop this stupid waste of time accept Israel and live with it even Germany did it so u sure must do same or one day u will find your self in bad situation even worst then your leaders put u in today .

7. Golda Meir
Jim ,   Duesseldorf, Germany   (08.12.06)
It's as true today as when she said it. "We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children. We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us." Golda Meir

9. No peace before the Hizbollah is defeated
kjersti ,   Norway   (08.12.06)
One minute Olmert says he will give time for peace, and then he decides to expand his offensive. Doesn't this show the true face of the ISraeli gov't? No, Zack. This shows the true face of Hizbollah. No peace before the Hizbollah is defeated and has lost its hold of the population in Libanon.
10. & CASUALTIES WILL BE TRIPLED TOO
SHIMON ,   Israel   (08.12.06)
it's better if halutz was in hospital till now
11. YOU NEED MUCH MORE!!!
fadi ,   lebanon   (08.12.06)
BRING IT ON..... Definetly You should.... the only way that you can destroy Hizbullah missiles is by sending more tanks.... one tank for each missile !!! Yesterday 16 Mirkavas destroyed and one speed patrol boat with crew of 12 (filmed on TV) ... Today till 4:00 pm 21 Mirkavas destroyed ..... and more to come..... AS THE GREAT BUSH ONCE SAID : BRING IT ON ULMERT

Dima   (08.12.06)
Apparently IDF airlifted hungreds of men to the Litani river
13. More Troops into Lebanon
Robert ,   Mauritius   (08.12.06)
Olmert is behaving like a child trying to show to his father that he can do his bidding, that is proving to the US that the Isarelis can reach the Litani river, irrespective of the casualties in the IDF.
14. troops tripled but even then cripled.stop it olmee
shamy ,   pakistan   (08.12.06)
what a shameful decision.aint it explicitely shows that olmee n his consists of notorious and pathologic liars.this expansion of urs will doom as ur ''limited'' war.it is a clear indication that u have lost. mr olmee u r without any conscious and it pains my heart that isrelis r tolerating u.i wonder whether they r without as well except for afew.
15. # 2
Oleg ,   Milwaukee, USA   (08.12.06)
No, this is not. This only shows that Israel must kill as much terrorists as possible and destroy Hiz completely. Israel will be stupid enough not to do this. Saniora has to kiss Israel back, because they are doing his job for him.
16. #2
meni   (08.12.06)
a) where was the UN over the past 6 years when hizbollah built up their weapons b) where will the UN be when israel withdraws, hizbollah rearms and no international force arrives answer: the same place, nowhere. the only tiny hope that these empty words in the UN resolution will result in an international force which will stay and do any good will be if israel can do great damage to hizbollah so that the pansy french troops think they can arrive in south lebanon and be safe.

Mike ,   France   (08.12.06)
he is such confused that he forgot what he said 2 minutes ago ,& i think he is mentally ill ,such are peretz & halutz
18. very good strategy
(08.12.06)
tell the terrorists exactly the contrary what is about to happen kol hakavod l tsahal
19. Zack what would you do?
Daniel ,   Washington   (08.12.06)
Yes Zack Israel does want peace. Look at their history of pulling out and giving up land as no other nation has ever done in the past. Israel wants peace so badly it almost toppled itself when it allowed thousands of missles to be fired for years into it's territtory without major consquences to those firing the rockets. Now Israel has realized there can be no peace without better security. It's about time. Do you believe that war just suddenly stops because the UN says there is a resolution? Hizbullah is NOT subject to the UN. They are not a government or nation. They are an armed force illegally operating inside a recognized State. They established tunnels rocket launchers and other infrastructure. Should Israel allow this to remain on it's border? Let Olmert send 10 times as many men into Lebanon as long as the final objective of the removal of Hezbullah's ability to attack Israel is accomplished. When the UN troops arrive then and only then should Israel stop and allow UN troops to do their job.
20. It almost looks like the gvt is sane...
The Raccoon   (08.12.06)
The current solution is reasonable: far from best, but reasonable. Gather the international forces, get Lebanon to sign a truce with conditions good for Israel and Lebanon (and bad for the HA); in the meanwhile, intensify the military operations to destroy as much of HA as possible and to increase deterrence. It's a fine-tuned game, but it might work if done just right. I have faith in Halutz... let's see whether Olmert and Peretz can finally prove themselves. Because if they won't, their political careers are over.
21. #2 Know your Facts Dumbass
RA   (08.12.06)
The operation was prepared a long time ago, before the UN resolution, to cripple hezbollah, a terror organization which you support so much. The IDF will do as much damage to the animals as possible before the Israeli cabinet decides whether or not to approve the resolution. So I suggest you do some praying to Allah because between today and Sunday, ur Hezbollah pals are fucked.
22. To #2
Arul ,   Malaysia   (08.12.06)
No. Israel wants peace. By expanding the operation, they can drive the Hizbullah as north as possible. This will ensure the terrorists don't come near the border, as the international troops are supposed to take the place vacated later by the Israelis
23. Go, IDF
Casiopea   (08.12.06)
Beat them hard. By the time the cease fire starts, not even one Hizbollah terrorist will have been left. Bravo for the killing of those 520 terrorists and the weapons cache I wish the wounded soldiers a speedy and complete recovery.
24. smiling for camera or thruth joycefully?
schulz ,   bad germany   (08.12.06)
I love Israel! And my joyce is victory through Israels army! God is Lord, King of war and of peace, between all countries! And Israel is Gods first Love at all the time, yesterday, at beginning of earth, at future and today or tonight! God is husband of Israel. Written by song of songs by an old king of Israel, son of David. Scriptures full of Love at God and Israel! Against Satan!
25. to #5 - Well said Felip
Arul ,   Malaysia   (08.12.06)
How true is that these arabs cannot change themselves. Instead of wasting their time, energy and money on hatred towards jews and blood shed, they should be spending it on the development and uplifting of their own people. Israel will stay as a Nation whether you like it or not. No power on earth can destroy or wipe out GOD's chosen people. I hope this fact gets into the thick skulls
26. To 11, did you get your info from a guy like this?
Da dude   (08.12.06)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=japNcjaeQds Because your statements seem to have a remarkable parallel between him. We should call you Harry Hizb'allah or Lenny of Lebanon.
27. Hizbollah is Iran's puppet and Lebanon is its stage.
Doug ,   US   (08.12.06)
This is not a war between Israel and Hizbollah. It is a war between Israel and Iran. Hizbollah is merely Iran's puppet and Lebanon is its stage.
28. #2 Zach, Peace AND Security
Daniel ,   Atlanta USA   (08.12.06)
Peace (absence of gunfire) means nothing if there is no longterm security along with it. The people of Israel are fighting for their right to exist without the threat of some terrorists hothead or insane Muslim leader trying to remove them from the map of the Middle East. Why does the "civilized" world have such a hard time understanding that Isreal deserves peace AND security, which means absence of gunfire AND peace of mind about its neighbor's intentions. I'm surprised the people of Israel have put up with Hezbollah and the Lebonese people (who have sat by and allowed Hezbollah to gain strength) as long as they have done so. Hopefully, Israel will be able to neutralize Hezbollah before the IDF has to hand the southern territory over to the Lebonese Army, and hopefully the LA-UNIFIL forces will be able to maintain a true peace on Lebanon's southern border with Israel. Israel deserves to be secure.
29. I wish them luck..
Jenny   (08.12.06)
Someone must stop the muslim terrirists. BTW, Reality Check - http://www.aish.com/movies/PhotoFraud.asp
30. Just read the "resolution"...
The Raccoon   (08.12.06)
And it's national suicide for Israel. Should we agree to this insanity, Olmert is done for - his political career is over and his name will be rmembered like the name of Aman: he'll be known as The Man Who Sold Israel Out. There is still hope, though, if the fools in the government will demand changes in the National Suicide Pact while continuing to crush Hizballah.
