1. Of course Hez poses no threat to French
Cynic ,   USA   (10.20.06)
The French appear to have no such concern about defending themselves against their friends Hezballah.
2. Message to France
Ticked Off ,   USA   (10.20.06)
I hope you fire on the Israeli planes. This will give them a great excuse to exact some vengeance on those un-repentent Vichy pigs. You Frogs focus on the Israeli over-flights but you don't focus on the weapons smuggling and the fact that the soldiers STILL have not been returned. So FU Frogs. I think a few French deaths are in order. And Olmert, you brought this situation on Israel by inviting those pigs in. You are culpable.
3. Boiling the Frog
malcolm   (10.20.06)
It's done slowly, one degree at a time. The frog (Israel) just sits there until it boils to death First they faked out Livni with the cease fire and promises of neutering Hizbollah. Now they are pressuring Israel to clear the skies of surveillance aircraft so Hizbollah can re-load undetected. Slowly but surely France is threatening Olmert with his biggest fear...becoming persona non grata in Paris. No more kisses and hugs from Chirac or red carpet treatment for Aliza at Hermes of Paris. The French are great chefs and they sure know how to cook a Olmert/Livni.
4. Vive la France.
Happy, Lebanon   (10.20.06)
It wont be easy for the IAF to bomb civilians in Lebanon anymore. Maybe if the UN put some forces in the westbank and Gaza the IDF bullies will think twice before killing paletinian kids
5. france, DON'T BE SILLY
Skippy McCool ,   Tzfat, ISRAEL   (10.20.06)
the first sign of any danger you will retrreat faster than American liberals
6. France conned Security Council, now trying to continue con
Alan ,   SA   (10.20.06)
France never gave what it promised. It misled Israel and indeed the Siniora gang . It doesnt disarm Hezballah . It flies over Nassrallas Speech Podium to protect those criminals from IAF . Tell us what has France done till today to disarm Hezballah?
7. Don't tell Israel what to do!!
tarek ,   lebanon   (10.20.06)
Israel Government is Above Everything! Israel government is always right! The rest of the World are criminels! The rest of the World understand nothing about the security of Israel! The security of the "Chosen" aryan- ehh no, excuse - the "Chosen" jew people is above all! Lebanese people...who cares?!
8. france poor france
dovdevan ,   ashdod,israel   (10.20.06)
france was at the head of the nations that wanted to be severe with the iranians regime!! since the war in lebanon french are part of peacekeepers so they try to seduce hezbollah and the iranians because they are scared to become a target once again as they were in lebanon in 1983 and in france during the wave of attempt that hit france until the 90 !!! they know that france is a weak country !!
9. France? Giving warnings??? LOL!!!!!
Yonatan ,   USA   (10.20.06)
The French government is too dim witted to know enough to be ashamed.
10. its only small messegae to Hezballah
Adel ,   Palestine   (10.20.06)
there is no doubt that this is a message to Hezballah. we are the french ready to shot down the israeli planes, it would be easier for us to fight and disarm the Hezballah in the south of lebanon
11. couldn't see this coming??
dan ,   chicago   (10.20.06)
exactly why having UN forces there was a terrible idea. It's going to turn against us and limit our capabilities...as usual
12. There is no truce
Brod ,   USA   (10.20.06)
So long as UNIFIL fails to disarm terrorist organization Hizbullah, there is no truce. UNIFIL better starts cleaning up the terrorists including disarming Hizbullah in Lebanon instead of threatening IAF which can easily decimate them.
13. frog self-defence = oxymoron
Arie ,   Afula   (10.20.06)
the frogs surrender more often than palis kill their kids for money!
14. Pretty
No One ,   Nowhere   (10.20.06)
Don't you think that Hezbollah could make of IAF intrusions a reason to fire rockets on Israeli's heads again ? Israel is cleary looking for war. Once they have war again they will go drying: we were agressed. This is the same story. The world aint being a fool.
15. DARE AND FACE THE FRENCH, YOU WILL BE SQUEEZED LIKE A LEMON
(10.20.06)
16. FRANCE IS LOOKING FOR WAR WITH ISRAEL ? FRANCE STINKS
(10.20.06)
17. Chirac: Disarm Hizballah or Shut Up
Mark ,   ma   (10.20.06)
18. IDF: Please hit all French forces
Mark ,   USA   (10.20.06)
They are doing nothing to get the soldiers released.
19. French Hypocrisy
Daniel ,   NY, USA   (10.20.06)
In typical fashion, the French exhibit the utmost hypocrisy with their statement about Israeli flights over Lebanon. If they spent more time preventing the massive influx of weapons sent to Hezbollah by Syria and Iran - which is in direct violation of the multiple UN Resolutions, then maybe Israel wouldn't need to enter Lebanese airspace. Of course, as a former colonial and declining power with sentimental ties to Lebanon, France can never be an objective party in this conflict.
20. to 12 about no truce-you are idiot
Observer   (10.20.06)
Do you think the IAF bats are capable from now on to fight as real AIR FORCE , They were fighting the bridges, buildings, civilian targets, but if they try to fight discipline army, AF to AF believe me your IAF will be miserable
21. WWW.JHM.ORG
andrew ,   miami,fl   (10.20.06)
PASTOR HAGEE - ON THE KNESSETT CHRISTIAN ALLIES CAUCUS TALKS ABOUT AN EU PLAN TO "PROTECT" (FALSELY)ISRAEL AS APART OF THE UNFOLDING OF BIBLICAL PROPHESY WILL LAST FOR 7 YEARS - ABOUT AS LONG AS UNIFILS MANDATE - LED BY THE EU
22. to #4 There will just be more targets to bomb!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.20.06)
Next time you will not be happy in lebanon,but dead in leb. Does anyone remember the last time the frogs won a war?They don't.
23. What a load of BS -- Israel should do what it has to do....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (10.20.06)
in order to gather intelligence - if that means overflights than so be it. Nobody on the ground ever got hurt from a reconnaissance flight. The French should be ashamed. Maybe they are afraid that the IAF will reveal what a shitty job they are doing in disarming the Hizbollah.
24. Wouldn't Iran like that
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (10.20.06)
After threatening Europe for backing Israel, Iran would sure love the two of you too fight it out. Why are the frogs so stupid? It's mind boggling, they only enforce the regulations on Israel and not Hizbullah. They should be removed for being incompetent, and just plain dumb. Way to go france, you got your own problems with Islam in your country and you decide to get tough with your allies instead.
25. BETTER IDF SHOULD FLY OVER FRANCE, YES ?
MOSHE ,   USA   (10.20.06)
BUT PLEASE DO NOT LOSE ANY BOMBS OVER THOSE PASSIVE arab mooslum SLUMS ! MOSHE
26. frog scenario
Arie ,   Afula   (10.20.06)
1. IAF overflight 2. frogs fire 3. IAF responds 4. claim IAF using "secret" weapons against frog soldiers 5. IAF admits using soap in response to frog attacks 6. frogs scream "crime against humanity" 7. frogs flee back to islamofrance capital of gay paree 8. seek advice of french empress suha of arafat at her parisian palace 9. she advises frogs to follow their tried and true response 10. frogs raise flag of surrender at eiffel tower
27. france defending hezbollah
yonatan ,   nyc   (10.20.06)
i've really just had enough with them
28. Funny thing about France
Mike ,   Israel   (10.20.06)
They dint see Iraq as threating, they dont see Hizbulah as threating, they dont see Hamas as threating, they dont see muslims as threating. France is so blind that they may just hurt themselfs.
29. Ok to hit Israel but not Hezbollah?
Sam Weinstein ,   USA   (10.20.06)
Ok if they protect Lebanon and Hezbollah then they will be particpants and will be dealt with accordingly. If the French attack Israel then Israel should relaiate at the source of the attack even if it's that big French Carrier in the Med.
30. UNIFIL VIOLATEING UN 1701
Sam Weinstein ,   USA   (10.20.06)
Ok so the french and Unifil are turning a blind eye to rearming by outside powers of Hezbollah violateing the terms of the violation hey they are not the Israelis we can threaten them everyone hates them. What arrogance from the French
