As the main target of the terrorists are the civilian population our response to this kind of war should also be without ompromising. First of all, the medias should be kept away from the battlefield until the army has finished its job. The civilians collaborating with the terrorists, the “human shields”, should be treated as soldiers without uniforms. We should not have humanistic considerations unless they will treat the kidnapped soldiers and their families in a human way as well. But lets proceed with order : We should fight with one single goal – a total victory on the terrorists as explained at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/01/stop-them-with-clear-cut-victory-part-i.html

we cannot release Samir Kuntar

"In exchange for the bodies of three Israeli soldiers, missing since October 2000, and one Israeli businessman, abducted in October 2000 under questionable circumstances, Israel released more than 430 Arab prisoners on January 29, 2004. " Don't make the same mistake again!

Is this the way Abbas has helped the situation? He's worthless. If they are dead, Israel has every right to bomb southern Lebanon into oblivion. Time to wipe out hezbollah and hamas. Time for rolling thunder to roll north and south. If Olmert knew this and didn't say a word in order 'to promote peace,' then he should be arrested and jailed.

befor any more Israelis are murdered, Israel must take the option of surprize and first attack away from the Moslem terrorists. The only way to do that is to attack first. Put them on the defense. A great defense can only lead to a draw. An offense is needed to win. In addition to a military attack, Israel must deluge the couintry and all territories with Pro-Israel and pro-Jusdiasm lessons, including attacking the lies of Islam.

proof enough for the families to sit shivah and for their wives to remarry. So what's the rush and purpose in declaring them dead and losing the families' hope?

Is this how the family found out the plan of the p.m.? Ocrap and Merkel were sitting down to tea and he casually mentioned that he will announce their deaths? How typically crass that such a report would be made by a German news outlet without the family having received "any new information. Great work, Ocrap! Keep rackin' up the public relations points...

He's pronouncing them dead without the proper evidence in a limited amount of time to give any sort of logical or intelligent credence that they are alive. Any sort of negotiations are Off until then.

All your commentaries promote killing and murder, no wonder you've always been hated. Hate and violence begets the same. You are creating more and more people that wanna fight you and kill you. You think you are the CHOSEN PEOPLE, WHAT A JOKE. God knows better. Only when you treat your fellow humans with respect and dignity will you ever have peace. Beware because the world is changing and your superiority is no longer valid. PEACE ON EARTH.

do you know how stupid and moronic you sound? are you in 6th grade? god, go read a book or something. it'll sharpen your mind. looser!

1. Jew haters should not have a Jewish name. David after all was the Jewish King. The name Muhammed would suit you better. 2. Jews always treat their fellow humans with respect and dignity. There's no reason to treat animals with respect, though. Apparently, you don't know the difference. 3. We don't think we are The Chosen People. We know it and you know it too. And G-d certainly knows whom to pick.

You made me laugh :) It is always so much fun reading the Zionist comments. Alan, can't you see? What you're asking Olmert to do is exactly what he did in July 2006. That's less than 2 years from now. And he achieved absolutely nothing. Two days ago, Olmert admitted that Hizbollah is much stronger than before, and has rockets that can reach beyound tel aviv. "Israeli" military experts declared that Hizbollah actually can hit any spot in "Israel". And, Alan, remember? With few thousand soldiers, Hizbollah defeated "Israel". Or if you want to make it look better (made "Israel" fail in achieving any of its goals). Now sayyed nasrallah tells you hizbollah has tens of thousands of resistance fighters ready. You failed to defeat few thousands, when hizbollah was less strong. Now, when you admit hizbollah is stronger and better equipped, you want to fight them. Again? How many times you should prouve yourselves fools?
