That's the best place for Barak to get his next job! For sure he will be out of politics and to be a marionette wont sound strange to him. Please!!! Somebody tell Bibi that he is caving his own grave by linking to Barak!

Once again we give in. No wonder the world despises our weakness and our enemiers rejoice- again. When we are bobbing in the sea or nuked will Barak and Bibi say from their bunker "We tried but failed...sorry" ?!

Barak did not want to avenge the border incident, because Barak only cares about Barak. Barak helped Jibril Rajoub murder Madhat Yussuf because saving Yussuf would have been politically bad for Barak. Barak betrayed the SLA because the extreme-Left "4 mothers" organization made him look bad on TV. Barak refused to stop Arafat's Second Oslo War because he was worried it would look bad. Instead he kept crawling to Arafat while Israelis were being murdered. After Barak was expelled and Sharon (then Right-wing) became PM, the IDF quickly finished the Fatah forces and ended the war. Barak asked his French and American friends to publish this "news"

On Romania...It makes about as much Sense... I do believe the IDF had their wings clipped the last time they ventured north...the loss of 40 odd tanks tells us this is so.

Nasrallah to Barak : you make me laugh :)

Barak wanted to attack. Liar. False.untruthful Sinece when does a defence minister have to ask premission from the anti Israel anti semetics in France and europe to defend and protect Israel.Barak's cowardly groveling has costs many lives of Israeli soldiersd. Get rid of this backstabbing yellow swine barak

The world does not despise your weakness, they despise your strength against the weak. And your enemies rejoice because you are not killing them with excessive force. I do not understand how you would want war if it can be avoided.

Dear Israeli friends please beware of Sarkozy's statements: he has already managed to save Georgia from Russia (or the opposite), put an end to the world financial crisis and I am sure he is right now extinguishing the blaze in Russia and stopping the floods in Pakistan!

...what happened to Lebanon in the same altercation

Israel is sovereign and has the right to defend itself against aggressions and threats. It is time Israel's government understands this. Hussien, Hillary, etc are not god or king or the government of Israel. No matter what these external entities say, no matter their pressures and manipulations, Israel should ignore their craps and meddlings. Israel and Israel alone will decide and defend itself and NOT any external entities or states. It is time to say NO to these external entities that keep intruding in Israel's affairs. They have been doing this since the time of the Romans. It is time Israel shows that it is sovereign and strong to maintain its deterrence. Short of that will only erode Israel's number one defense-deterrence.

I’ll say one thing about the Obama administration they sure know how to keep Israel on a short leash.

Best smile is the last ...

we need strong guys to command our army? we are our generals? which country in the world can accept that a terrorism country pass through his border and kill his soldiers ? NONE why israel should accept this ? Why israel should ask france or egypt or jordan to protect his population? We need strong army, now

If thats so then i guess you should have your way. Also the USA will cut ALL of its aid to you draculas. Then lets see how long you last. Keep bragging about the 67 war that the US weapons won for you. Congrats.

A coward who has not surfaced to the earth since the second Lebanon war. If he thinks he is some body why addressing Lebanese MPs in a confrence through screen?. He has gone to co habit under ground with his dead father before his death, while Barak and other Israelis enjoy the beauties of nature.

How a small and weak army as the Lebanese one have courage to open fire , killing an Israeli officer without being scare of retaliation. Something wrong with the rule of the game. And we, IDF are responsible for establishing the rules, not them.

No thoughts of your own, Mr./Ms. imposter? Afraid to use an original user name? You're a coward and a fool. Grow up.

and how many more would have to die to satisfy his ego? first they gave us coco the clown otherwise known as Peretz now this old ex has been, gee wonder whats next ?

i would welcome the next arab israeli war. With both sides acquiring high tech weapons, there will be more people killed from both sides. With more people killed, resources like food, energy and minerals can last much longer. The peace loving people outside israel will surely benefit from the casualties

If you think that is bad you should see what has been written on Haaretz under your name.

the Lebanon border several years ago running from them again.

Since it comes from a questionable source, it's hard to know whether any of the story is true. It doesn't seem Israel would go to war over this incident, within the context of the situation. It seems to be just more Pallywood nonsense painting Israel as the aggressor, even though it was Lebanon that fired the first shot and started the border skirmish. Yet the story is about France and other nation allegedly restraining Israel. Bottom line Lebanon army has radical elements that just tried to start a war with Israel, Lebanon was the AGGRESSOR Nation, Israel was defensive, again.

not so fast. correction needed here!!! THE USA NEVER SENT ANY MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL DURING 1947-48 AND NEITHER DURING THE 6TH DAY WAR. THE MILITARY AID ONLY STARTED FROM USA TO ISRAEL AT THE END OF THE 1973 WAR. do your research before telling people of your stupidity and ignorance. by the way, who do you think sustains your army in lebanon??? the usa. without the usa you will be finished. who do you think supports your army really!! iran and russia via iran and syria. yet, you arabs still could not win a single war. it is not the tanks, planes, missiles that count. it is the brain that is behind these and that operates these and israel, compared to the lebanese army or nasrallah, definitaly has the superior if not the only brains and intelligence in the middle east. and this is why men win wars, not military equipment. its men that operate these, not any one else. hameed aboughaze, iranian hameed aboughaze, iranian

The tight leash and loyal Israeli lap dogs makes it a sure thing that Israel will keep failing to defeat her enemies as we saw with Hezbollah in 2006 and Hamas in 2009. Israel has been weaned from victory and is content to please her destroyers who cunningly use the peace process to this aim.

In '67 Israel was using French armament not US... educate yourself before posting
