Mark ,   USA   (08.17.06)
They have no relations with Israel. They need to have relations with Israel!!! What next? Iran,Syria?
8. So, how is Olmert and Livni going to spin that "win"?
AK   (08.17.06)
Olmert's ceasefire deal turns up to be as bad as his conduct of the war. There is nothing positive to point to from the entire occurence except bringing to light the corruption within IDF's high echelons and their cavalier attitude towards the welfare of the soldiers, and total bankruptcy of vision and ability within the Kadima and Labor Parties. This lesson has been very pricey for Israel in lifes lost, injured and economic loss, don't squander it.
9. IS THERE ANYTHING GOING FOR THIS ADMINISTRATION
YDB   (08.17.06)
It seems like every small detail is going (as predicted) against the believes and spin of Olmert & co. Before the cease fire France was pressuring Israel, telling them, we will send troops and disarm Hezbollah bla bla bla, well after the Dumb Israelies sighed the agreement, they tried to spin that it was good for Israel bla bla bla.... but as the minutes pass we see how a grave and dangerous error has been made (as anyone with common sense predicted would happen,) it only surprised us, how FAST it happened, One would think that France and even Lebanon will try too make it look real, but even that hasn’t happened, so now the government is left with no more spin, and that should scare all of us, for we have reach the un reachable, in that the world has sunken so low with such CHUTZPAH...... and even the dumbest of governments LIKE THE PRESENT ONE IS LEARNING THAT QUITE FAST.
10. #5..go back to math class!
jason ,   usa   (08.17.06)

11. What a nice group of peace keepers
(08.17.06)
Turkey? Malaysia? Brunei? ALL MUSLIM and entirely sympathetic to Hizbollah and moreover entirely anti-Israeli. Wow France, not only did you surrender to teh Nazis without a fight but you send a whooping 200 guys to the region. Whew, I feel safe now O Israel - Reelections are needed, a larger and more aggressive war is coming and I know the date too... When Iran finishes its Atom Bomb Honestly, people start preparing in your neighbourhoods and homes.. I am serious
12. French colloborators
Stifffler   (08.17.06)
All of this big talk by the French and all they could muster up was another useless 400 troops. Oh well, maybe its better that way; the last thing we in Israel need is some more French collaborating with Hizbullah. Lol.
13. Indonesian creeps
SLAVO   (08.17.06)
Israel would be mad to accept any "peacekeepers" from Malaysia or worse, Indonesia. The indonesians dont even accept Israel as a nation, what does anyone think they'll do WITH the enemy.
14. The French?? YIKES
Jeff ,   Cherry Hill, NJ USA   (08.17.06)
To Nasrallah: Ha! Now you're gonna get it Hezbollah. 400 Frenchmen. Look out. Beware! They will exhaust the few prostitutes in Hezbollahland. You can only hide (well you don't really have to) and buy hookers along with missles from your state sponsers of terrorism, Syria and Iran. On second thought, and based on experience, send only the Iranian missles and the Syrian women. You can then just help yourself to the white flags they carry when they are with your women. Bon Jour.
15. that should give the truck bombers target practice
luke   (08.17.06)
16. You sleep with dogs - you wake up with fleas
TP EZEEPOSSE ,   Haifa, the best city   (08.17.06)
How typical from the Francophonics to echo their opinions and then once they have to step up to the plate - we see them dribble and drool. How sad to think that their revolution they once had for Freedom and Democracy have now fallen by the way-side into the hands of an A*s-kissing b*st*rd who is terrified of losing votes in his own country and thus will do anything to gain their support - yet when expected to re-enforce his statements he is just as terrified of his TRUE French subjects as they would not hesitate for a second to be-head him were he to dare send french troops to Lebanon KEEP YOUR DIRTY HANDS OUT OF OUR AFFAIRS YOU SICK FREAK CHIRAC !!!!!!!!!!
17. FWANTZ to send 400 troops !!
Cato the Younger ,   USA   (08.17.06)

GALLIA DELENDA EST !!
19. Well, we can all rest easy now that France is in command.
Johnson ,   USA   (08.17.06)

20. Spineless french wussies
Enough is Enough   (08.17.06)

PLS everyone take a look at this: http://disturbinglyyellow.org/ a little harsh maybe, but something to give some thought to!!
21. Adnan, You gotta be kidding
Sheik Ahmed's Nut ,   NZ   (08.17.06)
Adnan, is this some kinda conspiracy? Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei are Islamic countries which hates Israel. Adnan, you are the biggest fool around and we are not suckers. UN peacekeepers? I bet you are sending UN Troublemakers. .. with 400 French pussies mingle with Lebanese army ( cross-dressed Hiz. fighters ) Needless to say, a rematch is on the card.
22. French troops will not do NOTHING
Karim abdul ibni hus ,   Al Cairo   (08.17.06)

23. Ooo 400, that'll stop Hizblabla dead in their tracks.
Russel ,   Tlv   (08.17.06)
Tremble before ze MIGHTY French troops. Into ze valley of death rode the 400...
24. YOU ISRAELI'S CAN'T BE SERIOUS ...
Gil ,   France   (08.17.06)
your elected leaders knew very well what the deal would be ... before they signed off on this agreement. They have turned you into deer frozen in the headlights of Hizbullah, Hamas, Syria and Iran. The strategy was completely identified in the book "THE ISLAMIC CONQUEST OF EUROPE 2020" at WWW.AMAZINGSUCCESSSECRETS.COM . The author is supposidly American, but rumor has it that it was really written by a senior member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. If you think what just happened to Israel was bad, wait till you read what their next step is for you, Europe and the Great Satan!
25. ask your USA evangelists friends to help you
shultz ,   bad germany   (08.17.06)
and we'll sit here to look all the destructions, Including yourself israel (perhaps much more peace in the earth without you always to groan and to accuse the others)
26. peace keepers
Dr Yousif ,   london   (08.17.06)
They are most welcome to lebanon but one thing if they play around with hezbolla . we gonna make their day night
27. Israel is in Great Danger! DECLARE UN RESOLUTION NULL & VOID
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (08.17.06)
The anti-human rights Jew-hating UN supports terrorist attacks against Jewish innocents. This evil humanity-hating organization instructed Israel that Jews are not allowed to defend themselves. Why do our nations' leaders support this wicked organization? The UN is a threat to Jews and every innocent on earth: Our World: The Olmert government must go Caroline Glick, THE JERUSALEM POST August 15, 2006 Already on Sunday, Annan sent a letter to Olmert instructing him that once the cease-fire is put into effect, the IDF will be barred from taking action even if it comes under attack... The Knesset must vote no confidence in this government and new elections must be carried out as soon as the law permits. If the Knesset hesitates in taking this required step, then the people of Israel must take to the streets in mass demonstrations and demand that our representatives send Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, Defense Minister Amir Peretz and their comrades out to pasture... Because of the Olmert government's failures, ever greater battles await us. As the dangers mount by the hour, we must replace this misbegotten government with one that can defend us.
28. ISRAEL MUST DO IT ALONE
myron ,   USA   (08.17.06)
The very nearly explicit message here is that Israel is alone. It will have do whatever is necessary to survive and prevail WITHOUT depending upon anyone else's goodwill--certainly not on FWANTZ and the rest of Eurbia. Not on the USA either. Israel can no longer trust neither in the kindness of strangers nor in the kindness of so-called friends. If this means smuggling in arms from Eastern Europe and elsewhere as was done in 1948,so be it.
29. Israel was tricked...........
Riv ,   Jerusalem   (08.17.06)
Everyone pledged something and in the end there is nothing but Hezbollah (Syria and Iran laughing) and one of the worst UN US France sponsored resolutions ever passed. Kick Israel over this but the much bigger players (the US, France and UN signers) are the ones with mud on their faces. All to please to the Arab street. That is why Israel was stopped dead in their tracks unable to prove themselves. Now Israel takes the blame. ha ha. History will indeed prove otherwise.
30. #22 french troops will do nothing........
Miss Mabel ,   at the table   (08.17.06)
and you think the US did not know this as they were cozying up with the French and UN on this cease fire resolution? Hmm. Think again. Now we see a US and France sponsored cease fire with no teeth. Who are the weak ones, Israel or the ones who called for the cease fire knowing it was bad and no one would do anything??? Miss Mabel knows.
