31. #4 what truth
annb_d ,   the North, Israel   (08.15.06)
You are certainly right, muhammad - we do make war to live and you do make war to die. Hopefully you will achieve your objective and then WE can live in PEACE! A suggestion: why not skip the middleman and blow yourselves up?
32. BYE BYYYYYYYE
LIBNANIYYE ,   LEBANON   (08.15.06)
33. like we told the syrian army: so long suckaaaa!

Sam ,   SF   (08.15.06)
You don't make anysense. How are you rebutting my comments? 1) All Israeli spokespeople have been saying that rockets are being fired from residential building, or are you deaf or dont read any news? 2) I didnt say that the paratroopers are the only one fighting. 3) I was only stating what Ron Ben-Yishai reported about katyusha rockets. Get a grip of yourself and get your facts right.
35. 28 - OUR PRIDE IS RIGHT HERE!!!
PROUD TALULA ,   ISRAEL   (08.15.06)
And I'm not sure why you are writing about a subject you know jack-shit about. What exactly do YOU have to be proud about? huh? I thought so, NOTHING, ZIPPO, NADA!

37. welcome back heros
Adrienne ,   Johannesburg   (08.15.06)
welcome indeed, heros to all good people
38. #10 muhammad
spud   (08.15.06)
This is what we will always remember, and you finally admit: we make war to live and you make war to die. That is why you will never win.
39. 33 in love with Lebanon
spud   (08.15.06)
You told the Syrian army? You guys can't manage to keep any army off your turf, and then you cry victim. Stand up for once and police your own back yard.
40. Time to kick militarism
Purityofessence ,   Vancouver   (08.15.06)
Now is the moment: It's time for Israel to give up militarism and racism. You talk of the next war - Missiles have negated the IDF. What makes you think your next war won't be your last? Start seeing your "enemy" as human beings. Start talking now before it's too late.
41. 29 - Only uneducated peasants think Hezbullah won, why?
Talula ,   Israel   (08.15.06)
Because the simple peasant people who have not been educated and live in the boondocks are too ignorant to see the big picture. It's the majority of these who support Hezbollah. They don't understand that their country's economy has been ruined for the next 20 years, they do not understand the implications of this. They don't understand what an economy is or how important it is. What they do understand is that Hezbollah managed to fire rockets into Israel killing 150 people. That's their prize, that is what they focus on and to them, they see that as winning. They don't understand that a war is more than just dead body counts and collateral damage. They are incapable of understanding that their country is in financial ruin and their democracy has been wrecked, because Hezbollah didn't tell them, or explain to them the magnitude of the situation they have caused the Lebanese people. You people in Gaza are no different to the sad ignorant peasants of Lebanon.
42. Welcome back
Laura ,   London   (08.15.06)
Welcome back Israeli soliders - our hearts are with you. As for the stench of Hezbollah it can be smelt as far back as here in London.
43. Think twice!
(08.15.06)
The Arab people must think twice before unfairly criticizing the state of Israel for securing the future of their progeny as well as courageously fighting for the safe future of its own people.If not for Israel,the majority of Arabs would have stayed in the quagmire not being able to see the light of knowledge,prosperity,democracy at the end of the tunnel.
44. # 39: we are victims of our greedy neighbors
in love with lebanon ,   lebanon   (08.15.06)
who didn't get enough land so they want our small country. but i tell u what, not even in their worst nightmares
45. Olmert, IDF, IAF and Commanders have done a superb job
United States   (08.15.06)
and continue to, as they withdraw. We have great respect and admire you all.
46. Hezbollah come join us make a deal
Dennis Slapo ,   Rishon Le Zion   (08.15.06)
Now that we defeated Hezbollah and they know it. It is time we brought them to our side along with all the Lebenese in our fight with syria and iran. Just as the USA used the germans nazi after WWII against the soviets and lets not make the mistake the USA made after saddam fell and not enlisting his army on our side. We should get these people to now work for us. They have nothing now but some rockets which they could shove you know where, of course we have to get rid of the iranians there and the die hards should be taken out. Send hezbollah to fight syria and iran lets make a deal.
47. Joe #30 Are you Proud of these killings ?!
Mustafa ,   Egypt   (08.15.06)
Joe, You mentioned two things that justify killings, which by the way you are not proud of whatever justifications there are. First is Just killing and second is Required killing. Then let me ask you; Who decides that the killing is just? Who decides that the killing is required? Who executes the killings? If your answer for these questions is that YOU DO ALL ; in that case Any one whatever his culture is will deem you an arrogant killer; not a proud civilized. What Israel Does is sending Death Squads to Murder People in what they call Non-juridical or Out-of-Court Killings.
48. #44 YOU GOT BRAINWASHED
SS ,   ISR   (08.15.06)
I wish you really loved your country!!! Then you would see who really do more harm to your nation. The Hez or the Zionists. The Hizbullah hijacked and raped your pretty little nation. All under the guise of protecting you. From whom? Israel does not want your land. They would rather do business with you. Do you dare to think what a paradise your nation could become if you just rid yourself of the Hizbullah and the hatred and built hotels and resorts instead of bunkers. Do you dare to think ? After all yours is the only nation closest to a real democracy in the Arab world. Think man....
49. ISRAELI LEADERS DESPICABLE BETRAYAL of KIDNAPPED IDF
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (08.15.06)
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 UN 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.
50. # 48: my country is already a paradise...
In love with lebanon ,   lebanon   (08.15.06)
i donno if u came here or not but it's a beautiful country & no1 else will rule it but the lebanese (all of us from the north to the south & the bekaa valley are lebanese). & i tell u i'm a christian & i'm not afraid of any1 in or out of my country & we are the only democratic nation in the arab world. & by the way, i'm a girl, lol
51. inda#49 Does Israel Care?!
Mustafa ,   Egypt   (08.15.06)
I disagree with you. Of course, Israel cares about the kidnapped soldiers. They will make every effort to get them back; And better Dead. Then, Israel would have the excuse for more offensive. The image of Israel would be polished. Neither would the non-retrieved bodies of the killed IDFs be a problem; with some little deception they can manage. After all these, for Israel, are cheap sentiments. Also, I disagree with you; Israel value the life high if its. But, for others life the IsraeIi scale runs down below zero.

53. #50 that's the spirit
ss ,   isr   (08.16.06)
We all agree, Lebabnon has the best culture, places, hummus and pretty women. Upto you guys to find unity in diversity.. I mean all the different sects, Moslem, Druze, Christian... live together in harmony. We do not want you to be afraid, we want you to be independent and free. Free to live life the way you want it. Look at the aid that came from Iran - now you gonna wear Chaddors... Thank Hassan for that.
54. Lack of understanding
Rabindranath ,   Canada   (08.16.06)
There is no doubt that the Hezbollah honor both their soldiers, and the families of their soldiers. I think your mind has been poisoned by hatred, which is clouding your perception. Be carefull that you haven't been brainwashed in a very vile way to hate people who are trying to defend themselves and their country like your own people do.
