...when Israel is going to act not because: "....the move was aimed at reducing the international criticism against Israel." but because this is the best for Israel. I wait for the day soon when Israel will "give a banana"(a brasilian say) to everybody in the world and do EXACTLY what it is in its OWN benefit and interest,people and land,and nobody's else. I wait for the day soon when Israel will completely stop being reactive and starts being totally PROACTIVE, with no words and only right actions ,with a "big banana"for the whole world and for its own internal enemies. We will see then -not that it matters at all-but we will see the whole world applauding Israel and more over its own people aplauding itself.

they lost) because 2 IDF operatives were taken into Lebanon. .. Interesting!

the other half allready belong to Lebanon, witch now they will have to deal with unemployment since they no longer Israeli civilians.

I wonder why? Could it be that Hezbollah is waiting in the wings ready to pounce at a moments notice? Israel's biggest blunder since its miserable creation was to let the Shiite Genie out of the bottle. All Israel can do these days is to kiss @$$ so as to avoid provoking the wrath of the Lebanese resistance.

of withdrawal from your liberated historic homeland is insanity. It shows weakness in the face of confrontation. It endangers Israel's national security interests and existence.

Nice of Israel to throw Ghajar into the mix however this still falls short or any real substance. The half-hearted ‘settlement freeze’ is not good enough, the freeze need to include ALL settlement construction inclusive of the illegal settlements in Palestinian East Jerusalem. Also I think Israel should also withdraw from Shebaa Farms as well as Ghajar. Until Israel is willing to make real steps towards peace with a full freeze on all illegal settlements no invitation to the peace table should be issued.

Hey you jerks it's called Israel - not "Jewish state". Or, instead of "Lebanese" village - say it the way it is - "Muslim village". What's with you???? You sound like Al Jezeera.

Israel can't just give if you want it to be 2 way street, so tell me, with duties comes right and untill now all we hear is Israel should, ok no what she gets, do you really think that border will be ok while UN fail to implimant the resolution against Hizb, mmm I think Shaba farms r so small change compare to what's going on in Lebanon, since now Hizb r part of the gov, did you do your duty of disarm hizb acording to UN, I guess not, so you were saying about peace?

They're not muslims they are Alawites and Israeli citizens also who don't want to be part of Lebanon anyhow! and certainly don't want the village split again

Israel must get out of all Lebanese occupied lands including Chebaa farms and the 7 villages taken from Lebanon before.

Israel, whose creation the world was blessed with, should continue to grow and strengthen borders for the safety and prosperity of the Jewish people. They have every right to establish themselves in lands won in wars of aggression from the arabs. This tiny sliver of land is the Jewish homeland. Some people can't accept that and that is their problem. For many reasons and on many levels Israel will prevail.

You sound as an Israeli occupier. You have to know that there is a new Sheriff in town i.e. Obama. All occupations have to end while he is in Office. The 1967 border IS the approved Israeli border. Wise-up

I have no not any opinion pro and or con if Israel wants to return the Northern half that is their own business RIGHT ??? Thank You... M. S.

He is a muslim. So as i see it nothing will happen in Israel for at least 4 years, and if he is voted in again, then 8 years. we can freez building, but we can freez the peace process as well. we will wait for global warming to sort out the Pal - Israeli problem.

Keep dreaming because... YOU ARE IN FOR A RUDE AWAKENING, heck, almost as rude as you if that's possible. Excuse me if I don't visit in hell.

That functions. Think not only of the Israeli citizens but also the Christians +others who DO NOT WANT EVER TO BE SEPARATED from Israel's sovereingty. They have been and still are frigtened to death if our stupid Govt decides to do it in earnest. Just wait for the opposition to this GIVE AWAY by our leaders who think they will gain kudos from the world bodies.Those same bodies already LAUGH THEIR HEADS OFF and lost for words among themselves as they do when Israel just gives away,releasing scumbag prisoners as a ONE WAY STREET. Unblievable pathology..

This has been talked about before and the residents there--be it the Jewish ones or the Christians, plus others arevery pleased and comfortable being looked after by Israel.They have been frightened to death if this happens.Thus expect worse troubles in the making because those residents do not want to be part of the Islamofascistis nor the USELESS UN,but are happy with Israel looking after them. So prepare yourselves for a disappointment "it ain't going to be implemented". And to my Prime Minister I say:Watch out and think giving is not the answer EVER. As for Batty madam,tell your Lebanese lover/husband NO DEAL

...and Israel will no longer be occupying any part of Lebanon. Move on to the Golan Heights and end that illegal occupation, and give it back to Syria and that will end two occupations of others sovereign lands. Hold on! We are almost to a comprehensive peace deal but there's one more step. Now vacate the land in Palestine, leave the paltry 22% of the original Mandate to the Palestinians, walk away with your Lion's Share of the land and end the last of the illegal occupations. There ya go. Now you have peace.
