1. Same Old game
Bill ,   USA   (09.28.06)
UN "peacekeepers" traditionally work as a semi-permeable membrane; allowing hezbollah and other terrorists to flow freely in both directions, while stopping Israeli forces from chasing them. This is merely the beginning of a cynical "cease fire" How could hezbollah possibly cross the border and ransack a weapons sore on a kibbutz in israel?
2. I want to see the UNIFIL force
tFighterPilot   (09.28.06)
showing the same determination against the Hezbollah.
3. Unifil stops Israel but not Hizbullah: Open fire on them
Billy   (09.28.06)
4. Very clear theatricals!!!
Audience ,   USA   (09.28.06)
How exactly did the French soldiers block the IDF tanks? Anything short of opening fire proves that the whole thing is nothing but a theatre play put together to demonstrate that the UNIFIL is efficient at protecting Lebanese territory. AS IF!!!!!
5. Another humiliation for Israel thanks to Olmert
Cynic ,   USA   (09.28.06)
6. oh! what a coincidence!!french....
stephane ,   france   (09.28.06)
i'm not surprised at all that those unifil soldiers were french....i live in france and i know their dhimmis mentality.they always want to look nice to arabs cause french are "bootlickers" and hope that when showing support to arabs they won't suffer terror attack...but all their "comédie" won't protect france from hezbollah and al quaeda...
7. Same old UN
Chuck ,   Parsippany USA   (09.28.06)
Didn't the Italian general commanding the UNIFIL forces say just last week that UN forces will not confront Hezbollah, even if they are attacking Israel? Yet Israeli forces are confronted and stopped. Is this what Israel agreed to?
8. Vive La France !!!! Kick those invaders to where they belong
Dark Justice   (09.28.06)
Those Israeli soldiers are on LEBANESE soil and they should be kicked out in any way and by any one.
9. to #6 Stephane
Hezbollah Spokesman   (09.28.06)
Hezbollah has never threatned to attack France. Hezbollah only fight the Israeli occupation to Lebanon. Tu es vraiment un imbecil.
10. Frogs Protecting and Aiding Bollies
stude ham ,   outremont, canada   (09.28.06)
Gee... it's too bad these frenchies will have to take the shelling and lethality trying to stop Israel's advance into hezbolland during round 2. Of course the frenchies are experts at building military tunnels... just look at the maginot line and how it hepled them in 1940. Meanwhile, it is becoming clear the the frogs are sheltering the bollies in their refortification of the vacated parts of hezbolland.
11. Idiot Israelis!
David ,   Marietta USA   (09.28.06)
You point the gun and pull the trigger. The French have never engaged in a battle in which they have not surrendered once confronted. Thank you very much Mr Olmert for yet another show of courage. The founders must be rolling over in their graves.
12. to # 6
Djazaïri ,   France   (09.28.06)
so the mossad will soon commit attcks in France to be put on the bill om muslims
13. LOOL! LOL!
Arabian Wolf   (09.28.06)
Great show. But don't try the same on Hezbollah warriors. They destroyed IDF and they will burn UNIFIL.. Maybe they let rookies gain experience with UNIFIL!
14. Good Job, Olmert! Hizbollah has UN protection now.
Bennie ,   Jerusalem   (09.28.06)
Should have blasted the French back to France. Now Israel will be totally unable to defend itself against Hizbollah unless we are willing to take on the UN. Leave office, Olmert. Israel can't afford to be run by an idiot.

sidi-bel-abbesi ,   faransa   (09.28.06)
not during ramdan... otherwise: h'ram!
16. Should have opened fire
(09.28.06)
17. Let's get it over with
The Raccoon   (09.28.06)
So the terrorists-supporting UN gave Hizballah 15,000 troops + full equipment... meatshields for the frontlines. Since these terrorist enablers attempted to compromise the security of Israel by interrupting IDF in the fulfillment of their duties, they are obviously enemies of Israel. How long until we have white tank barbeques? Do they need to fire on us first or what?
18. Head is very deep in the sand by now
George ,   Atlanta, GA   (09.28.06)
If Israelis have tolerated Olmert government for this long, they should get used to more humiliation and eventual demise. Join the Eurabian dhimmitude.
19. 10 Maybe they will make a Vichy Lebanon.
freedom ,   canada   (09.28.06)
Just like back in world war 2 when there was a Vichy France.. laughable.
20. #1 to Bill
Mike ,   Boston   (09.28.06)
Stop talking nonsense. tell me one incident since the ceasefire that Hizbullah broke the agreement. On the other hand, I can tell you several incidents that the IDF broke the agreements. Biggest proof they are still in Lebanon.
21. UNIFIL final block
jwishman ,   BA, AR   (09.28.06)
AS UNIFIL block IDF to day, Hizbullah will "block " UNIFIL tomorrow.
22. To 9 Hezbollah Spokesman
jwishman ,   BA, AR   (09.28.06)

23. UN Mission: Act AGAINST Israel-PREVENT Israel's Self-DEFENSE
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.28.06)
The UN do not recognize human rights for Jews.

25. Only Olmert???
Kirk ,   Tel-Aviv   (09.28.06)
Only Olmert???? First the professional idiots who created such a mess should go immediately, then Peretz and Olmert and certainly the responsibles in the political arena, Foreign Ministry. This country NEITHER have the luxury NOR have the time to be governed by morons even for one more day.
26. all ya gotta do is get out folks!
Chad ,   USA   (09.28.06)
The reason the UN is stopping tanks from going farther into Lebanon is because you're going farther into Lebanon. Of course the IDF side is crying "same old UN" etc when they're doing their job. However what is even more sick is that IDF is demanding that Lebanon not gather intelligence in their own country. Why don't you just get the hell out of their country IDF and stop making threats against them in their own country!
27. Seems they exactly know WHO to stop!
uli ,   Jerusalem   (09.28.06)
Shame on you UNFIL! You you should murders and butchers of civilians and not the people who want to protect their citizens. But you are to AFRAID of the HisbAllah, so you against Israel. YOU COWARDS!
28. The Best Thing Is For the Israeli Occupation Force
World Citizen ,   the world   (09.28.06)
(IOF) to get out of Lebanon altogether. Otherwise Hezbullah might begin wasting some more IOF tanks and taking more Israeli soldiers "hostage". And if I was the French I would be a little tired of all the insulting remarks coming from the Israelis on armchari generals at the site. They might decide that if Hezbullah can kick Israeli a$$ maybe they can too! Now wouldn't that be embarrassing to all the blowhards talking trash in here?

bernard ,   france   (09.28.06)
"imbecil "s'ecrit avec un "e" a la fin. george perec (un juif) en fit un roman sans s'en occuper. are you nasrallah's spokesman?
30. Chad, you need to get out
George ,   Atlanta, GA   (09.28.06)
of your La-la county more often. There were already two Hezbollah raids into Israel, the last one last night. This is what IDF was in pursuit of. UNIFIL's mandate is to separate both sides, not aid and abet Hezbollah operations. But, as a resident Jew-hater here, you're not interested in reality.
