1. or Israel could be planning to attack
aiman ,   jersey   (04.29.10)
and the Iranians know it and they are warning their allies.
2. Israel simply wants to fend off Hezbollah reprisal attacks.
Daniel ,   Los Angeles, USA   (04.30.10)
Syria and Lebanon had better refrain from joining Iran in its war against Israel. The current situation is many orders of magnitude more grave than in 2006 - as will be Israel's response if attacked by Hezbollah.
3. THE HOLY BIBLE is right
koisumu ,   london England   (04.30.10)
The latter years,let it be resounded, here we go,the signs are there,the days of doom and anilhiation,be prepared ye,repent and turn to God before its too late.The coming doom of all the enemies of ISRAEL.Its a warning,the GOD of ISREAL the CREATOR of heaven and earth,hewatches everything.The signs of the coming anilhiation of the enemies of ISRAEL are there to be seen.let them prepare,let them come,but they are coming to meet their own doom.ISREAL will be looking for and burying the bones of all her dead enemies for several months.It will be of such devastation that the nations of the world will say for true there is a GOD of ISRAEL.HE does not slumber nor sleep.The only way to escape this anilhiation and inferno is to turn to the JESUS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR,some christians who oppose ISRAEL and the JEWISH people will see,you must repent now,because the time is near,weep and howl,because the signs of the dooms day are rapidly approaching.Watch out,syria,iran,lebanon,hamas,hizbulla and all the nations that rises up against ISRAEL,weep and howl.When GOD judge and men die.
4. NO ! Israel NOT overwhelmed by threats ??
moshe ,   kiryat yuval   (04.30.10)
Israel is being threatened by hiz, ham, which after all are expendable in the eyes of Syria or Iran. A brute force Middle Esatern solution is of course a military response to the sponsor , Iran or Syria , IF hiz and ham attacks. Too many enemies to face at once? Not too many if non conventional Israeli weapons are used. I am just saying... moshe
5. Part of much wider plan...
Mr Green ,   Manchester   (04.30.10)
Whats this leading up to? SANCTIONS RG orders are clear. Sanctions would be seen by Ah MAD inejad as an act of war and an excuse to go on the military offensive The strategy is to close the Hormuz, mount an attack on disputed islands in the Gulf, overun Bahrein, trigger Shia attacks on US forces in Iraq, trigger Hezbollah attacks on Israel, trigger simultaneous attacks by N Korea on S Korean shipping and most intriguingly...a coup detat in Syria Ah MAD inejads Grand Design as does RG Military Strategy is based on Nazi Military Ideology and Tactics Just waiting to see Ah MAD inejad start doing the One Step Two Step Goose Step ...soon
6. tatatataa .. mr Ben Yishai >4 sure israel is so afraid

7. Basically this talk of a pre-emptive strike
Danny   (04.30.10)
is cover for when they carry out an unprovoked attack on Israel like 2006.... they can then claim they struck before Israel did.
8. Iran Bevare !
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (04.30.10)
Incitement has consequences,in 67 big brother, soviet union,for reasons of his one, warned the Arabs that Israel is about to attack Syria,prime minister Eshkol summoned the soviet ambasador to the Syrian border to show him that Israel has no more than a company of soldiers at the border,soviet big brother was not convinced and continued the incitement,middle brother Abdul Naser in order to help Syria against ,big bad wolf Israel,stationed tanks in the demiltarized zone of the sinai,and blocked the straits of Tiran for Israeli shipping,than little brother Husein of Jordan also jumped into the fray ,placing his army uder egyptian command, who attacked Jewish Jerusalem with artilery, results, all 3 lost land to Israel,which was not in the soviet plan,Iran replaced the soviets and the palestinians ,as big brother and will end up the same.
9. Israel defeat???
Larry ,   phila, USA   (04.30.10)
It's interesting that Iran said that Israel was defeated in the war with Lebenon. Wishful thinking actually. The first time that Israel is defeated the country will cease to exist. The criminal arab nations are just waiting for blood in the water to strike. So far Israel has won every war and I pray they continue to win. I fear that Isreal will have to continue to fight as long as the evil if islam continues to exist.
10. to #3 #4 and #9

11. #9
ned ,   uk   (05.01.10)
Isreal wasnt defeated but it failed to acheive the objective set by the war. Furthermore Hizbullah succeeded to strike in the heart of Isreal the first time it happens on loses 20 hiz fighters vs 100 isrealis military personnel , add to it since then isreal trying to defuse the successes of hiz and only do the reverse add to it the 2006 war increased hopes and demands to combine armed resistance with diplomacy making the arb learders who are the actual protectors for isreal in a messy situation ... if u cal that a win then celebrate...
12. It was not a win cause..
Hertzel ,   Tveria/USA   (05.01.10)
the stupid gov. Israel had at the time set goals that were un achievable phsicaly, therefore from the begining dooming any victory. Than, realizing what it takes to do the job right, (sending in the IDF devisions) they bulked at the human life cost vis a vis the potential achievements, and made the second mistake, of moving too little too late. That is what happened, it was POLITICAL FIASCO, not a military defeat or victory. All that is being said, the next round will be much more decisive, therefore Syria and Lebanon should be ware of the results of letting the Iranin dog (hiziz) loose, it will bring their destruction.
13. #11: don't believe everything you believe!
tom ,   toronto, canada   (05.03.10)
either you were looking at the lebanese army casualties (28), or some jihadist propaganda, because hezbollah lost a lot more than "20 fighters": it lost its place in the lebanese government and most of its political support, it lost control of the territory south of the litani river along the israeli border, it lost its arsenal of rockets, and it also lost 1/3 of its fighters! (idf estimated 600 killed, un and laf reported about 500; even hezbollah has admitted 250 killed). and nasrallah hasn't even been able to leave his bunker in 4 years. hezbollah has rebuilt much of it, but can they (or lebanon) afford another such "victory"?
