31. Don't be fooled. Silent coup in works against Bibi..
shneerhere   (04.28.10)
Barak gets an honor guard and 'exellent' results, 'satisfaction'. Bibi gets snubs, insults, humiliation. This nothing more than a power play to overthrow Bibi with their favorite Laborite, much like Bush glowed when Rabin came to power in the '90's.
32. Don't worry,
Goliath   (04.28.10)
you have much more sophisticate weaponry supplied by the US.
33. Another comment for #9
Mike ,   Atlanta USA   (04.28.10)
Ireland will likely go under financially this year or next. Your country isn't wealthy. Israeli is.
34. United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (04.28.10)
The Resolution calls for "full implementation of the relevant provisions of the Taif Accords, and of resolutions 1559 (2004) and 1680 (2006), that require the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon, so that, pursuant to the Lebanese cabinet decision of July 27, 2006, there will be no weapons or authority in Lebanon other than that of the Lebanese state."
35. Alls not as it seems....
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (04.28.10)
Lebanon effectively controlled by Hezbollah is de facto a satellite of Iran. Nasrallah is to all intents and purposes Ah MAD inejads lapdog But there are extreme stresses and strains developing within the many competing interests in Lebanon The business secular and democratic establishment in particular are apalled by this state of affairs But more serious is that were Hezbollah to unilaterally trigger another conflict this would wipe out all the rebuilding and plunge Lebanon into darkness once again Make no mistake. Nasrallahs loyalty does not lie with Lebanon but with Ah MAD inejad. He would even betray Syria at his behest. Their treachery KNOWS NO BOUNDS And one small other point...Its well known that through local intelligence plus UN intelligence gained Israel now knows the location storage capacity and contents of EVERY SINGLE weapons storage bunker and more importantly ALL the underground command and control centres North and South of the Litani and WHO OPERATES THEM. PLUS the special underground bunkers designed to house Nasrallah and his cronies in time of war Its even reckoned that the locations of key TV and Telephone networks and cables, rations, uniforms and even the flags are known Why? Because there are so many TRUE Lebanese who have a quiet but BURNING HATRED of Hezbollah and are prepared to pass on vital information to help neutralise their power Make no mistake...For Hezbollah even with 100,000 missiles in any possible future conflict with Israel it will be no one way street for Hezbollah ...and indeed Lebanon
36. UNIFIL is sample of the quality of ANY future Peace Treaty
Alan ,   SA   (04.28.10)
guaranteed by US or UN . (How did 40 000 rockets get into Lebanon since 2006 if UN and UNIFIL was doing its job?) Same as the withdrawal of UN Forces from Sinai just before 6 Day War in 1967 Same as protection given to SA Farmers after Whites handed over power to ANC . Now more SA Farmers and wives and children butchered since 1994 than Deaths in World Trade Centre ie over 3300. Same as Hamas 10 000 Rockets . UN is for Anti Israels and AntiJews -not for "progressive elements" and Arabs with Oil and Voters in EUrabia .
37. #9 - Ireland - paceful - you can keep it
DIS ,   USA/ISRAEL   (04.28.10)
1/. How far are you from N. Ireland, very paceful place, no bombings, no senseless killing of woman and young childran!!!! 2/. I have been to Ireland for 14 days, business and vacation. During a football game, young childran killed by drunks, nice pass time in a peacefull, beautiful, secure place to live. 3/. I don't think, I would like you to visit Israel. We do not pee in the streets like in Wealthy Ireland.
38. to #32 actually it's the other way around
ghostq   (04.28.10)
Israel sell to USA her technology, including High Tech info. not just Militery wise. :)
39. #9 Philip K - Which media are you watching?
Tim ,   Brighton   (04.28.10)
I invite you to consider The remarkable achievements of the State of Israel in 60 years Despite the Holocaust, the hateful expulsion of over 1.5 million Jews from Arab lands post 1945 and the threats to Israels security Israel has thrived as a multi cultural social democracy in which Jews Christians and over 1m Muslims live side by side Israel has pro rata produced more Nobel Prize winners than any country in the world, a thriving economy and outstanding world class scientific research in agriculture, medicine, electronics, chemistry etc Israel has absorbed and welcomed immigrants - of all faiths from over 100 countries in the world Israels Defense Forces are uniquely a Peoples Army - everyone contributes to the protection of their country with pride And besides its one of the most exciting, beautiful and remarakble places on earth you could visit - From Jerusalem to the bright lights and beaches of Tel Aviv to the rugged beauty of the Judaen desert and the hills and the Dead Sea, the picturesque beauty of Lake Tiberias, the views from the heights of Haifa..... Philip I urge you to go and see for yourself!
40. #21 you don't make sense
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (04.28.10)
The last war started when Lebanese forces made an unprovoked attack inside Israeli territory, killing 10 soldiers and capturing two, who were later murdered while tied up. Also, the Scud story was first spread in the Arab press, not Israeli. This is all while Obama and Clinton gave Assad the go ahead to complete his illegal occupation of Lebanon. What is it with you that you blame Israel for Arab aggression, the policy of the most anti-Israeli American administration and justify the loss of Lebanese freedom?
41. HEY, WHY IS EVERYBODY RIPPING ON ME?
Philip K ,   Wexford, Ireland   (04.28.10)
Okay everybody is totally ripping on me for comments i made in an earlier post (no. 9). Well all i said is how happy I am to live in Ireland, how good a life u can have there and how ireland is a beautiful, secure and wealthy country. And for what its worth Ireland IS NOT about to go bankrupt. I read in the papers this morning that Irelands economy grew by 1% in the first quarter this year so we're pulling out of recession and on the mend. It seems to me that Israeli's are jealous of Ireland. If a person was given a choice, they could either live in Ireland or Israel im sure they would choose Ireland!
42. No. 33 Mike from Atlanta USA
Philip K ,   Wexford, Ireland   (04.28.10)
For your information there is a report out this morning that says the Irish economy actually grew by 1% in the first quarter of 2010. So, it seems we've turned a corner, we're on the mend and we're pulling out of recession so you know what get your facts right man because i can safely say we're not going to go under financially!
43. Amazing....talk about Saddam's WMD scandal all over again
Anonymous ,   TX USA   (04.28.10)
Amazing Scuds story started with an article in an Arabic Gulf newspaper suggesting that Hizbullah might be seeking to get scud missiles. note that the newspaper is renown to run articles written by reporters that would write anything for a $100 tip. Israeli press & officials immediatly jumped on it, and blew it out of proportion, claiming Hizbullah already has Scud Missiles in stock, and spread that story all over, and started talking of launching a devastating war against Lebanon and Syria...all that and they haven't provided yet any proof that this has happened, like photos from IDF Drones flying daily over Lebanon, or images from IDF Satellites on constant watch. Talk about lessons learned...It seems the masses never learned anything from Saddam's WMD scandal....
