As Chuchill kept warning the world of Hitler's danger, while being derided by the peaceniks, so does Bibi; Churchill said later, that he felt he was shouting from the wilderness. So does Bibi. The world does not act until a crisis can no longer be avoided. ALAS.

The spy's father, Walter Litvinenko, said in an interview published today that his son - who was born an Orthodox Christian but had close links to Islamist rebels in Chechnya - made the request as he lay dying in University College Hospital. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2486268,00.html - That changes everything

G-d Dammit Israel is in deep shit and you're wanting to be liked. Get with the program start behaving like a leader. What we need right now are leaders not " Am I ready for the prom dimwits". Do your job, roll up your sleaves and get the country on track. The entire Jewish world demands it at this time.

Where are our leaders? Where are the good proudful Jews? One thing is for certain, the Israeli people want vengeance not "sacrifices for peace".

Netanyahu and Lieberman are essentially of the same spirit. The only difference is that the latter is rougher while Bibi has fine-tuned the art of the sale of his message. Their message: hit the Palestinian's head hard with a sledge hammer; keep him on his knees when he falls; and if possible throw him out to see to die in ignominy. That's essentially what he's saying even when he speaks in 'diplomatic language.'

NO ONE IN THE WORLD CURRENTLY LISTENS TO HIM AND NO ONE WOULD CURRENTLY FOLLOW HIM, HE'D HAVE TO ACT ON HIS OWN TO MAKE UNPOPULAR CHOICES WHICH HE MAY OR MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT BIBI IS THE CLOSEST THING TO SHARON, AN ACE IN THE HOLE, HE MAY BE OUR BEST CARD, WE MUST PLAY HIM WISELY WHEN THE TIME IS RIPE FOR STRONG WORDS TO BE BACKED BY STRONG ACTION

A grassroots movement is needed to force the Kadima goverment to resign now and call new elections and a new goverment. I am sure some of the kadima people would join it.

israel will show more restraint - until israelis are finally wounded severely or killed (sure to impress the international community). then israel will respond hard and until, oops! several palestinian civilians are accidently killed. the international community will be horrified and appalled with israel again, as if israel's restraint never happened. in the end, israeli civilians die for nothing while palestinian terrorism continues as if nothing ever happened. sacrificing israeli lives for nothing, how sophisticated.

I'm with you on this. Israel practices restraint to the point that they even warned residents their house was going to be bombed. This to my mind is totally stupid while fighting a war. The main purpose of a war is to win and to win sometimes countries have to do the unthinkable. A country doesn't win by broadcasting the fact that, "Hey I'm coming after you leave". I'm an American and I feel the same way toward the war in Iraq. If one of these Moslem countries invaded the US or Israel, or any other country in the world, do you think they would drop leaflets or give us a call to warn us? The answer is a resounding NO, THEY WOULD NOT. We have to fight as if we mean to win and win big but until our leaders learn this we are in deep shit. Our enemy's use this against us and until we learn not to let them do this, things will get worse.

to the man after a long silance .. it is sharon .. ha ha ha

Don´t worry, Israel has plenty of Sharons in the making. Whose been pretty silent has been Arafat and his billionare wife .. ha ha

"It is always the opening of my speaches, I am not tired of "

Mr.Netenyahu............I have always wishesd , at some point in your life ,that a few peaceful words could come out of your mouth.Wishful thinking,i guess.

Anyway, who ever heard of a fervent Muslim WAITING for a deathbed conversion? This stinks of Russian disinformation, based on the Christian practice of deathbed confession.

Gaza will truly become an extension of southern Lebanon. There will be "only a few" missiles launched over time, but mostly, there will simply be a build-up. Stupid Israeli Left will join with stupid Israeli Middle and proclaim "success." Lebanon, meantime, will have rebuilt. Next war will be a serious two-front affair fought like the one in Lebanon. Or three: if an expulsion occurs in Judea/Samaria, the war will be three-front. By that time, Iran will be nuclear because of Israel's idiocy. Syria will be covered by Iran, and may have nukes of its own. They will not be launched YET, but they will deter Israel from biting off the head of the snake. All of this was easily avoidable by someone (and a people) with common sense.

Hezbollah and Hamas will coordinate attacks against Israel, from the north and west. Islamic Jihad will join in from Israel's east. Little by little, the noose is tightening around Israel's neck., instead of Israel using that 12.00 rope to punish 8,000 incarcerated Arabs (most will be freed when a "deal" is reached (only to begin again to kill Jews). Bibi is right in his right -wing approach towards the Arabs. Olmert s wisful thinking is influenced by Condi, and now Boltons' resignation. What next, Egypt and Jordan abrogating their treaties with Israel. Another round of warfare is looming...this time with Syrian and Iranian missiles hitting Tel Aviv. It's all in the cards, or as my Evangelical friends say, "The end of days".

Rafsanjani is the Persian with the blue turban who allies with the Russian to attack the West ;-) I wink, but I believe!

My platform - Decapitate the Iranian nuke program by whatever means necessary (yes, that includes using nukes) Declare that the permanent border of Israel on the east is the Jordan River Inform all countries that since Jerusalem is Israel's capital, all embassies must be there - no foreign embassies will be permitted to be in Tel Aviv Inform Syria that the next rocket that comes from Lebanon into Israeli territory will be met with a massive bombing campaign of Syria, INCLUDING Demascus Inform the PA that the next rocket that comes from any PA-controlled area will be met with a massive bombing campaign of all PA-controlled areas That is the AM of my first day - that afternoon I'll see how these items play out and go from there. Brash; in your face; hell yes, but since Israel's enemies don't seem to understand anything except over-riding gut-wrenching force, give them a taste of it. Time to emulate the actions of "Bomber Harris" and the 8th Air Force in its response to Hitler.

David, I'm not ready to say we are in the "end times", but the outlook sure as the devil looks bleak. I dispair when I see both my own country and Israel in midst of committing national suicide. As a Christian I care very much about Israel - I believe in the view that Christians are Jews first, just as Jesus was born a Jew. The Old Testament (Torah) is every bit as important to us - same goes for Moses and all the old prophets. The same leftist insanity that infects the US seems even more in evidence in Israel, and, given Israel's situation (especially the geography) Israel has a much smaller margin for error than the US does. Folks, I don't want to sound "over the top", but the big battle that is foretold in Revelations seems to be shaping up just as it was laid out. But if you haven't read it (and I say this especially to all of you Jewish folks) READ IT. Best thing about it is that the "good guys" do win in the end (but securing that win sure was not pretty). I'll close with one final thought - Olmert, like a lot of leftists, confuses peace with "an absence of war". They are NOT the same thing.

I'm neither Jewish nor Christian, but at some point, there simply will have to be a definitive "now or never, us or them," and we might as well get it over with, once and for all. All this "band-aiding" going on now is a waste of time and resources and never accomplishes anything. Some people, it seems, won't let go and accept things the way they are until and unless they're beaten to a pulp. Well, let their wish be our command. Why do we let the asshats of the world ruin the few years all of us have on this planet? It's, actually, downright ridiculous.

netanyahu could straighten out lebanon,i would vote for him in lebanon.

Bibi said that today is like 1938 and Iran is Germany. Ahmadinejad is preparing another Holocaust. That year, Britain’s PM Neville Chamberlain led a policy to “appease” Hitler in order to keep the peace. Unfortunately, the leaders let Germany build up the military steamroller instead of preemptive strikes to weaken the buildup. The following year, Hitler was ready and WW II began as well as the Holocaust that exterminated 6 million Jews in Europe. This year, it's DeJa Vu all over again. Israel needs help and support to eliminate the threat instead of stalling. Diplomatically, nothing works, nations are afraid and no one wants to take the bold initiative. I’m afraid by next year or two it will be too late. Just like 1938. Israel needs to wake up and elect Bibi (Churchill) immediately to replace the weak and bureaucratic Olmert (Chamberlain).

Let me start off by saying that I long for, and believe in peace, but I am a realist. I am not ashamed to say that I am a Zionist. I love Israel, and I love the people of Israel. To me, Israel is the apple of God’s eye, it is written in the Word of God and this truth will last forever for the sake of His Holy Name. I don’t care if my opinion is unpopular, and I don’t care if you disagree with me. That’s where I stand. I believe that Israel not only has a right to exist, but she has a right to exist right where she is, without giving up her lands in a false hope that this will somehow appease those who wish to murder her as a nation. I am both confused and horrified by the political scene in Israel in the last 20, 30 years. Have they stopped teaching history is Israel? Bibi is right, as he is old enough to remember the price in blood of Jewish freedom. Look at the history of the Hebrews in the last 60 years, and ask yourself what your neighbors think of you. You cannot make a true friend out of someone who wants to kill you and your whole people, neither can you trust them to keep their promises. No you say? How’s that “land for peace” thing working for you in Gaza? Do really believe it will be different for you in the West bank or the Golan Heights? It is just a footing to launch the final war against Israel my friend, so that the threat of “tossing you into the sea” can be made good on. I don’t blame you for wanting peace Israel, what Hebrew does not want peace? But to give away your lands one chunk at a time to appease a world that secretly hates you, to a people who wants nothing more than your death is insane. What is even more insane is when your current leader says it’s time to ignore the rockets and bombs that kill your children (from the very land HE turned over)……it’s time to get a better leader. Israel, you better wake up, your enemies are closing in for the kill, and your current leader is bent on national suicide.

So much of bible prophecy has happened and being fulfilled in our day. Here are a lot of examples; Jesus being born Isaiah 7:14 and 9:6. Isreal is Gods elect people, Gen.12:2-3 and Deut.7:6-9. Isreal becoming a nation AGAIN and this time for good, is in Jer.3:18,Amos9:14-15, Eze.36:28. Countries boldly stating they want Isreal wiped off the face of the earth, Psalms 83:4, when psalms was written there was no nation Isreal. Revived Roman Empire AKA the E.U. The book of Daniel states the last 5 world empires Dan. 1:1 Babylon, 5:28 Persia, 8:21 Greece, 9:26 Roman Empire, 7:19-28 Revived Roman Empire AKA E.U. The first three countries that Rome defeated are the same three countries that started the E.U. Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg. After it grew to six countries there was a treaty signed, and guess where? ROME. Jesus said the temple will be destroyed again, Matt. 24:1-2.These are pophecies in the bible that have come true. There are prophecies that are in the middle of being fullfilled now. Read Matt. 24:3-12, Then read Matt.24:33 which means when you see ALL these things at the same time know that he is near even at the doors. The bottom line is that Isreal must protect themselves and strike first if need be especially the nuclear plants of third world coutries, and they will because the bible says they will stay a nation until the revelation of Jesus Christ. We all must hope that Netenyahu gets back in as president or someone like him. God Bless,
