1. What? I cannot believe it!
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (06.06.07)
Hizbullah isn't paying attention to 1701? It just cannot be! Then what, pray tell, are all those foreign military people doing over there? Enjoying the geography? Supervising the distribution and storage of Hizbullah's weapons? What? I thought they were to make sure that Hizbullah disarms. Oh, I know, they're there to have fits, when the IAF buzzes one of their boats and lets a sonic boom rip now and then. Stupid me, I may get it right one of these days.
2. Alas, poor Lebanon
Cameron ,   USA   (06.07.07)
Caught between Hizbullah zombies in the south & Palestinian loons in the north. What a shame that the next time Hizbullah baits & provokes Israel (and you know they will), that poor state is going to have the life kicked out of it.
3. "TRANSPORTATION" MINISTER?
BILL HANDEL ,   BROOKLYN, USA   (06.07.07)
Why is a "Transportation" minister discussing military and diplomatic strategy (and being taken seriously)? Shouldn't Mofaz be the Defense minister or the Foreign minister"?
4. The solution to Hezbo dominance
Future1   (06.07.07)
Israel wake up!!! the Intl community could care less against your case. They do not care about your security. Start riots in the Lebanese Refugee camps. The objective is to get these Palestinians into the S. Lebanese cities. Promote serious divisions between Hezbollah Shiite and Palestianian Sunni. Blow up the Hezbollah garbage trucks and have the Sunni Palestinians monopolize services in S. Lebanon
5. The results of appeasing the intl community?
Ram ,   London   (06.06.07)
6. Prelude?
KS   (06.07.07)
This is really ridiculous. Dont Israelis really wanna just live in peace??? The Israelis are never going to learn!! WANNA SOLVE PROBLEMS! START FROM THE ROOTS!! LIKE THE 67 BORDERS! i hope for israel's sake this isnt a prelude to a new war this summer...where there will only be more israeli disappointment
7. So what? Israel's been arming/rearming past 70 years
am ,   USA   (06.07.07)
including WMDs and nukes.
8. #3Bill-Transportation Minister is appropriate bcos Condy is
Alan ,   SA   (06.07.07)
trying to RAILROAD Israel. Alternatively she wants to sell Israel DOWN THE RIVER. Both Rail and River traffic needs a Minister of Transportation to handle it . BTW Peretz only Military Experience was a Junior Officer I think (readers please correct me)
9. are you kidding hezbollah is rearming ?
dovdevan ,   ashdo , israel   (06.07.07)

11. To # 7
Jim Smith ,   New York   (06.07.07)
Yes, Israel has WMDs and nukes, and if the "international community" does not disarm Hizbollah, Israel will have to use those weapons. Don't complain when it does, it will be your fault and those others who apologize for terror.
12. war with hizbullah is just time wasting....
Zener ,   doesn't matter   (06.07.07)
The only solution is that the israels should attack the source that is arming hizbullah which is syria/iran and other than this is just wasting of time....hitting hizbullah will actually benefit iran bcoz it will have more time to work on its nuclear bomb...while iran is using hizbullah as a toy that israel can play with till iran achieve its nuclear dream.
13. Mr Ban Ki-Moon, can I have a word with you?
enzo ,   london,uk   (06.07.07)
14. I can't stand them anymore!
enzo ,   london,uk   (06.07.07)
Hizbullah is rearming. Palestinians keep launching missiles. Syria is talking about war. Iran is almost ready...!!! Why don't these losers get a life??!
15. #7 am - SO, what were you doing
hardy ,   har har   (06.07.07)
during school when you were supposed to be learning ME history? Why not ask Israel's enemies to explain to you why "Israel's been arming/rearming past 70 years -including nukes..." By the way; modern Israel was established in 1948. How did you come up with 70 years? - try again, this time you may want to use your fingers to count. LOfreakinL!!
16. Pat Buchanan Foretold This...
Sam Samuels ,   Perth, Australia   (06.07.07)
"We charge that a cabal of polemicists and public officials seek to ensnare our country in a series of wars that are not in America's interests. We charge them with colluding with Israel to ignite those wars and destroy the Oslo Accords. We charge them with deliberately damaging U.S. relations with every state in the Arab world that defies Israel or supports the Palestinian people's right to a homeland of their own. We charge that they have alienated friends and allies all over the Islamic and Western world through their arrogance, hubris, and bellicosity." - Pat Buchanan, The American Conservative, March 2003

(06.07.07)
The guy doesn't want to come back with empty hands from the USA , he has to cry a little bit so he comes back with some money or weapons ...... poor American tax payers .
18. Hizbullah again
Observor ,   India   (06.07.07)
Israelis are behaving as Hizbullah are establishing Air force unit and buying Submarines against State of Israel. In recent Lebanon war , th poor performance by IDF was coz of PM Olmert. Time has changed , Israel domination wont be for much longer time , the time when Iran will explode Nuclear warhead , Israel domination will be gone .
19. #16 and #17
Ram ,   London   (06.07.07)
If only you two were running the USA the whole world would be a Utopia. All the Muslims would send US citizens bouquets of roses on a daily basis and the world would be at peace. Christians would not have been murdered in muslim countries, the victims of Darfur would have been hugged and kissed daily by their now muslim murderers. Maybe the koran would have been replaced by a love thy neighbour version and the mahdi would have been asked to go on a permanent vacation. What is it that turns people into venomous creatures that cannot tell right from wrong? All Buchanan's views do is postpone confronting reality. BTW, Israel's contribution to the US is FAR above what is declared and is spread over many fields.
20. #15, har!harr!
joe ,   vienna   (06.07.07)
Well I will tell You was I was doing at school....... It was in the begin of the 60thies and class by class we were hurdled like a herd of dumb sheeps to the cinema to watch a mind twisting movie about Israel. It was called "The Desert Blossoms" or something like this. Anyway, it was a endless paean of praise about Israel - young pioneers plowing the fields with shouldered guns, always fearing attacks from this bad, bad Arabs. Oh, and how much we, the young children, admired this brave Israelis. And now I use my fingers to count: This movie was most probably made at the same time when Your later prime minister (now in coma) as commander of the "famous" UNIT 101 carried out the Quibia massacre......

Ram ,   London   (06.07.07)
Wow! You sure have made a lot of progress now that you can count (all be it that you have to use your fingers). Congratulations. Soon hopefully you will progress to making sense out of what you observe with your eyes and analyse with your mind.
22. Thank you #20

23. Mofaz, you're not minister of defense anymore
idan   (06.07.07)
