It is too early to see who win. Also... why it is so important? It is very clear who lost in this war. Those are Lebanese and Palestinian people. However, they may now make the right conclusion. Also Germany was almost fully destroyed after IIWW. But German people did right conclusion. Think about it!

What a courage you have when you compare civilian casualities, you are proud of the 1000+ lebanese civilians killed? this is your failure. on the other hand, please give us some proof that 600 hezballah fighters are killed... not from your media :) Your comparison is useless: hezballah is not an army, and they did not declare war on israel. Your leaders did: objectives were to distroy hezballah, kill nasrallah, then push them away, then create civil war in lebanon to pressure hezballah... ALL OF THEM FAILED!! forget about "jihad" when talking to me. If you were a little bit cultivated you should have known from my name that I am CHRISTIAN, and I proudly back up our resistance hezballah. LOSERSSSSSS

The Jew Boys will be back soon - for more of your hez "punishment" :-)

So what do you want to do? muslims cannot be trusted. muslims like to play 'taqqiyah' (deception), so it is just giving you back a taste of your medicine, taste good? muslims are known to be inhumans, i.e. zombies, so what is wrong with Israel's actions?

Idiots lebanons. what you come home to your south you will see what IDF did to your houses. and then tell me who lose. How you win if israel still in live and continue at normally life. You lose thaousend of ppls. but its not important for you. You are a devils. Watch what we did for your in this war and what you did for us and tell me who win this war. -.- Narallah you are a sick man. Good Job IDF. The gevorment its very bad . i wish that BIbi will be israel prime minister.

Dear Talula, Calm down, take a deep breath, exhale, then taste your coffee. Happy truce. No more talk of war. It will help! The Situation is for Peace.

you are waisting your time stop your chilil ashem

Smart Israeli, once your IDF soldiers come from Lebanon, you will find how many not. You are correct, you win because the resolution safe you soldiers and tankes from the black fate. Next time before sending your kids, teach them what to do once they see us. Still i don't know why they are freezing? Just ask them to run away, it is the death....... One thing more: Don't do any violation againest Lebanon, Islamic and Arab leader would make it disaster on you.

I don't believe you. "You people have no common sense"? And having issued that statement you are sending me to a course on stereotyping? Who is "you people" that you are referring to? The 6 million Israelis or the 20 some million Jews? You didn't address a single argument of mine and yet managed to offend the entire nation. Your government's response not "would be" but "has been". It's calledSomalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. And if not for "all those billions of dollars" (which, I am sure the US gives us just because they like us so much!), it would also have been Lebanon and Hizbollah. If you want to remember defeat, recall the Marine barracks in Beirut, or the fiasco in Somalia. And if war crimes are your pleasure, well -- then there's Abu Ghraib and the 14 year-old Iraqi girl raped and killed by a bunch of American rednecks. Clean up your own house before pointing out the dirt in ours. You have no right to judge us. None.

You moron are not a christian. Don't try to mock people here. If Israel won what we as Lebanese won? and I emphazise on Lebanese NOT Hizbolla...We "won" nothing the devastation of our Lebanon. The only winner are the cowards, Iran and Syria, because they gambled our counrty for they own matters. Don't you know that we are more and more losing control of our beloved lebanon? we are losing it to the shia and Iran. so shut the **** up. Long Live Land of FREE Cedars

I love the way all the Jew-hating anti-Israel scum quote us websites, as if these sites are the ultimate address for truth and knowledge. Those sites are managed and staffed by the same deluded anti-Semites as those posting the info here . Do you Israel-bashing shmucks think we're so stupid as to not know an anti-Israel website when we see one? Save your preaching to those of your ilk (i.e. deluded vermin). By the way, why on earth are you on this Israeli Zionist site? You like to fraternize with the "enemy"? Maybe it's more like you want to hear some truth, instead of the trash you read in your own newspapers.

two more were just shot dead, trying to break the cease fire. Tze Tze Tze !

Rocco you are the sum total of an ignorant blind fool. First, your assumption as to who won the war is predicated in denial, which is a very common disease amongst Arabs and Muslims. (I sincerely hope you can understand this) Israel executed this war with the precision of a highly skilled surgeon. It aimed and hit precise targets achieving strategic objectives. Israel went to the extent of telephoning the Lebanese to inform them that their house is about to be blown up. Had Israel acted unrestrained, it would have blown Lebanon off the map! Israel has clearly Defeated that piece of dreck Nasrallah and his co-terrorists. Israel fought a Military campaign with regard to civilian lives as opposed to your hero (blind fool that you continue to be) Nasrallah who wanted to kill as many Israelie civilians as possible. Second, your contemptuous leader, that previously referred to piece of dreck Nasrallah initiated this horrible war and ran straight to his bunker, some fucking hero you choose to worship. He goes underground, still hasn’t been seen and you idiot have the audacity to say that Defense Minister Peretz looks disappointed. Off course he is disappointed, he is disappointed that that piece of dreck Nasrallah hasn’t shown his head in public because if he does, watch it kick back from a bullet. Now Rocco, go and play with yourself some more.

As brave IDF heroes fight and die for Israel, IDF soldiers are forced to suffer the anguish and demoralization of leaders who refuse to stand behind them. The lives of courageous IDF mean absolutely nothing to Israel's leaders who are cruel to Jews, but repeatedly show mercy to Israel's enemies. The resolution only refers to a return of the kidnapped soldiers in its preamble and not among the document's actual clauses. There is no mention of the kidnapped soldier in the south, Gilad Shalit." For the first time in the history of Israel, Israel's leaders surrender in war and treasonously support the UN Resolution which threatens Israel's survival.

Extreme HATE: Responsibility for compliance of the resolution is given to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, infamous for his fanatical hatred of Israel. Extreme DECEIT: Equivalency is made between Iran's Hizbullah terrorist army' vicious unprovoked acts of war against Israel - over 3,000 rockets fired at Israel and Israel's self-defense operations which the resolution refers to as "offensive" military operations. Images show Hizbullah using high-density residential areas to launch rockets: http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,,19955774-5007220,00.html Extreme RACISM: The damage and destruction to Israel is enormous. Israel's economy is devastated. Destruction in some Israeli towns is far worse than experienced by most people in the Lebanese cities of Beirut and Sidon. Profound Jew-hate is revealed in the resolution which asks for financial and humanitarian assistance for Lebanon the aggressor - but no assistance whatsoever for Israel the victim. Extreme DECEIT: The Lebanese government and Hizbullah are one and the same. The US, EU, UN are fully aware that Hizbullah terrorists are part of Lebanon's government and that the Lebanon government actively colludes with Hizbullah: YNETNEWS (08.12.06, 16:52) Siniora accepts deal, praises Hizbullah ...steadfastness of resistance fighters in field was very important,' http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3290107,00.html Extreme DISHONESTY: In 2,000, the UN determined that Israel had withdrawn to the international border. The resolution places Shaba Farms - legally belonging to Israel - up for negotiation. The laws of nations forbids land taken through aggression. The US, EU, UN unlawfully seek to reward Lebanon/Hizbullah/Iran for their unprovoked war of aggression against Israel. Extreme RACISM and DECEIT: In calling for disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon, the US, EU, UN are fully aware Hizbullah will NEVER disarm and know they are giving Lebanon/Hizbullah victory over Israel and a massive victory for Syria and Iran, who sponsor Hizbullah in Iran's war against Israel and the free world. In the global war to bring all nations under Islamic subjugation, the US, EU, UN empowerment of global jihad wickedly betrays Israel and the world's non-Muslims.

Taqiiah literally meaning protection. It has nothing to do with deception. It is the opposite to what you are imposing. I will try to give example; If one tries to deceive you, you should be vigilant watchful so that you will not be deceived. So Taqiiah could mean protect yourself from deception, but does NOT mean deceiving at all. You r welcome.

it's very early to be happy,because this war changed the opinion of israel goverment & people about the safetiness of israel territory & citizens. Before,all wars happened on territories of Arab countries & israel people didn't suffer much as in this campaign when 4000 rockets landed in israel territory ,here i mention that Hizbollah didn't use all his arsenal & more effective rockets which he has,& the result of this also it's the 1st time since 1948,destructions & about 2000000 people fled away or lived in shelters for more than one month .so in future to avoid the repeating of this one more time & may be in more dramatical way israel people must change their mentality about solving problems with palestinians & lebanese & may be with others too.but the most important is to choose correctly your politics that indeed think about israel people & their safety & who have the will to live in peace wiyh neighbours & not politics that dare only about own career & being puppets of USA

Let me tell you, Pierre, you are one heck of a nieve individual. You think there's a future for Christians when Islam proclaims their caliphate "from Spain to Iraq"? They admit that after they kill the Jews, the Christians are next. Face it, you're an infidel, just as we are. When are you going to realize that we have a common enemy? You support Hizbollah? Yeah, right!

It's a time for decency and mourning, not for showing off.

Where have I been showing off? I'm not in the mood for showing off. What I HAVE been doing is stating the facts.

No one is to blame for this weak loss other than the lack of strong military leaders in Israel. The IDF should be congratulated for their service, but Olmert capitulated to the UN and does not deserve the title of Prime Minister. No wonder Sharon's condition is deteriorating, he is turning in his coma!

This is result of the israeli attack... All Muslim peoples support Hezbullah ,today. From Bosnia to Turkey, From Endonasia , to Egypt ,Eastern Turkistan.,Pakistan.... suni-shia ..this is not important , We are Muslim.

Thanks for the insightful article. The entire Arab world publically decries the Israeli REACTION to an attack across an internationally recognized border. When will the umma realize that they do not have to support the actions of a fellow Arab just becasue they are an Arab. I am sorry for the losses experienced by the Israelis during this conflict. However, I am also sorry Israeli leaders stopped their offensive. Nasrallah just spoke about how he was wrong to order the kidnapping because of the Israeli reponse. Maybe they will take a lesson from this, but probably not. The Arab world is full of hateful hippocrits who only want to cite the actions of the Israelis and not themselves. The West and a vast Zionist conspiracy is always blamed for the failings and woe within Arab society. Hey here is a clue! Don't kidnap people and you won't experience the loss of lives. There is a price for messing with the bull, sometimes you get the horns! God Bless Israel, its soldiers and the ones they lost. We are behind you 100%.

Ok you haven't got your soldiers back. Time to renounce the cease-fire and resume the war against all of Lebanon...uh after you devistate Syria. To hell with peace when it leaves you in fear rocket attacks, still denies you of your soldiers, and all by enemies avowed to your destruction.

excuse me miss talula why do ulike the soldiers cuase they are killing little kids and innocent ppl ppl r u are so pathetic
