Al   (07.23.08)

6. Muslim and Arab terrorists do not need excuses in order...
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (07.23.08)
Muslim and Arab terrorists do not need excuses in order to commit assassinations. The war imposed upon us by extremist Muslims is for real. Each and every citizen has a role to play in this war, mainly in understanding that a concerted war effort is crucial. The list of Do's and Don'ts includes the following: Don't judge progress based on casualty reports; Don't have unrealistic expectations; Don't overreact to bad news or future terrorist attacks; Do be alert; and Do put aside political differences in order to present a unified front against the enemy. Unfortunately, the bad news is being over-reported, while the good news is being under-reported. This is causing great confusion and creating divisions in the public opinion that is significantly reducing public support for this critical war. The continuing erosion of support - not defeats on the battlefield - could cause us to eventually lose this war. The enemy is counting on this as explained at : http://xrl.us/bjxrz

You have a warped sense of history-it is in the hands of its reightful owners!

It's in the hands of the original owners. Now YOU go elsewhere.

Yaron ,   USA   (07.23.08)
My friend...if the Israelis were to expel you (as is common practice in Arab (fascist) countries) then the land would in fact be returned to its rightful owners. It is you who is squatting on valuable Israeli land. Just be grateful that you are dealing with a moral adversary. If this were Russia...you people would be Borscht by now!
10. #2, you are not better
Jake   (07.23.08)
"You will feel deep sorry for Arafat assassination" The problem with the Arab nationalists is that they are the same, if not worse, than the Islamists, with their baseless conspiracy theories and vicious anti-Israel, anti-Jewish slander. You feel a need to make that old goat Arafat into a martyr, so you accuse Israel of assassinating him? The last thing Israel would need is to be haunted by Arafat's hideous ghost: The shadow of the 5 o'clock shadow. A terrifying thought indeed.
11. To Mr. soon to be EX-RAMALLAH
Fortune ,   Brooklyn NY   (07.23.08)
The land of ISRAEL belong to the JEWS...Learn from OUR history book called the OLD TESTAMENT. It is all written there. NOW ..you can retrun to MECCA and sit all day smoking your PEACE pipe under your BLACK ROCK. SALAM ALEKUM HABIBBI !!!!!!!!!! Love from all your ISRAELI FRIENDS from the JEWISH HOMELAND.
12. Threat from Global Jihad
Solomon ,   London England   (07.24.08)
The war of terror started in 1962. Saudi felt the weight of its purse and decided to spread Wahabism all over . Madrassas, Public relations, a really long list on the back of single minded strategy to islamise the world.. Well I always thought the answer would come from the problem and it looks that may be the case. Oil and those creeps in the west who crawled after the owners of oil, to serve their agenda, for similar but bigger cash envelopes than Olmert is said to like will solve the terror issue that plagues the whole world. Renewable energy within a decade or so, initially to give slack, then to practically substitute oil , will strangle the funders of terror.. They can then go swim in their oil.. but it won't fill their purses.. That I believe will be our war on terror.. work to substitute Oil and the need for oil..Amen..
13. To #10 Islamo- phobia is the last decade phenomena
George Saliba ,   Canada   (07.24.08)
Arab never hated jews ,just because they are Jews.Only after the the 20 century tragedy of jews which was forwarded to palestinian tragedy without any reason or cause this hatred has growed up.Throughout the history the only places jews lived in peace and security were among arabs and in arab countries . Regarding Arafat it is well knowen that he was poisened with professional israely trade marke poison .Israel has good reputation and history in a such dirty jobs

15. all the world's jews at risk-that includes the u.s. jews.
debra ,   usa   (07.24.08)
no jews are safe until iran is neutralized and is longer able to develop nuclear weapons.
16. Why must Israel always broadcast their intel briefings?
shneerhere ,   USA   (07.24.08)
"Today, Syrian Army Intelligence and the Syrian Security Service advised Prez. Assad that...." Never read that sentence, do we? Can't we EVER shut up? And please don't tell me it's 'a message' to the enemy. The enemy is laughing at our 'deterrence' and 'messages' and 'price to pay' while they arm and train, arm and train. And we're dancing at the next Excstacy Rave like delusional stoners...... Maybe we are.....
17. #13, The only reason for your predicament is yourselves
Jake   (07.24.08)
"Throughout the history the only places jews lived in peace and security were among arabs and in arab countries . " Deny deny deny. Look how pathetic is your comment. There are almost no Jews living in the entire Arab world. Don't blame this on the Arab-Israeli conflict, since 20% of Israeli citizens are in fact Arab. Jews were banished from the Arabian peninsula in the days of Mohammed, on the prophet's orders. And historically, too, the attitude of the Arabs to the Jews has been one of envious malevolence, due to inferiority complex. Books have been written about the myth of Islamic tolerance of Jews, which was created by European Orientalism. Even most Jews have never heard of the genocidal anti-Jewish pogroms in Baghdad in 1291 and 1295 by Arabs. Almost no one know that the first massacres of Jews in Spain were carried out by Moslems in Granada in 1066. The other non-Arabic Moslems were more conciliatory and tolerant toward the Jews than the Arabs. It was Ottoman Turkey that secured the Jewish presence in the Middle East, while Arabs mounted vicious pogroms against them. Ironically, it was Iran that served as a place of refuge for Jews from the Arab world. Ahmedinejad, as an Islamist, is now denouncing Israel and Jewry as a way to ingratiate himself with the Arabs so that Iran can be the undisputed leader of the Arab world (not that they deserve any better). As for Arafat, his French doctors stated categorically and unequivocally that he was not poisoned. So why don't you stick the "Israel poisoned Arafat" line in the same place as the "Jews killed Jesus" and "Jews poisoned Mohammed" and other unfounded myths. The Arab world is going fundamentalist Islamist because that is what the people hold in prestige, and because their despotic leaders gave them no credible alternatives, and I am not talking about against Israel.
18. #1 Not a chance!
Golani   (07.24.08)
Enemy propaganda is more obvious now than ever before.The jig is up Iran.We know what you and your operatives around the globe are attempting and the West is wise to it as are its citizens.We stand united against terrorists and rogue nations seeking to expand their totalitarian regimes and pursue nuclear,biological or chemical weaponery.
19. Enough with the Bible stories
Jared ,   Stillwater   (07.24.08)
I agree with Ramallah kid, Israel and the Jewish lobby are making a case for the Bin Laddens of the world. Let the Palestinians have their land back and take away their reason to hate you. Do it and stop waisting my tax money.
20. George
Yaron ,   USA   (07.24.08)
Jews always lived in peace in Arab countries and amongst Arabs? C'mon George, even you don't believe that...do you? 22 states in the Middle East and the least densely populated region of the world but the Jews are the problem of the last 100 years. George, the point you are missing is that the Arabs, and more specifically, the Arabs living in what is Israel (Pals) could have had peace and an opportunity to build a nation. Your leaders and former generation of leaders could not put away their pride and hate for a moment. If half the amount of effort was put in to building roads, hospitals, schools, and a civil infrastructure as is put into indoctrinating hate and trying to perpetrate dasterdly deads against innocents....you may find the Israelis to be reasonable and peaceful neighbors. Best of luck and looking forward to a peaceful future for all!
21. West of time for all intelligent institutions!
Dani ,   Israel   (07.29.08)
Do you really require any intelligent service to conclude that global Jihad is coming? It is clear as 99% transparent glass! Any layperson can tell Iran, al-Qaida, Hizbullah, and smaller Muslim mafia spread in all the countries of the world are heading towards World Jihad. Get them now before they are too strong to control. Pakistan although posing as US friend, will turn against US any moment. Abdul Qadeer Khan of Pakistan is spreading nuclear science in Muslim world, he is still alive and in touch with outer world under strict supervision of Pakistani regime, right under US nose!
