1. Turn tunnels into tombs, use bunker busters and napalm
The Dude   (08.19.10)
The problem with tunnels is that once an explosion goes off inside of them it tends to focus and direct the blast waves to devastating effect. And we should learn from the US with it's fight with the Empire of Japan during WWII. They used napalm and flamethrowers to great effect, burning up all the Oxygen inside making the tunnels into suffocation chambers. We should be prepared for this new tunnel war.
2. Enough Is Enough
Shlomo ,   Tzfat, Israel   (08.19.10)
This is G-d's land. Who are we to fight upon it. Intrinsically a human wants to live in peace. So why does this mess continue?
3. Screw worlds opinion
ET ,   US   (08.19.10)
If it comes to all out war, Israel should retaliate with full foce regardless what the world opinion is. Evaporate them all inside their tunnels, bunkers and homes. They want 9/11. IDF, give it to them!
4. Okinawa , 1945 - Arabs wont help them
Gerry Alwood ,   Detroit USA   (08.19.10)
Our Marines in World War 2 proved that cities underground are destroyed very easily .. The Arab states will not support Iran ... They are desperate because they know they will be wiped out easily.
5. So predictable. So routine.
Joey Rose ,   Portland   (08.19.10)
Israel will emerge from this with even more territory ( not to mention setting Iran's nuclear program back at least five years) and Muslims once again walking around with their heads down and tails between their legs.
6. ET is absolutely right. They can't stop full force of IDF
Cynic ,   USA   (08.19.10)
Hez/Hamas think that the last 2 battles was real war. They have no idea. Israel used less than 10% of their resources. All I can say is the Lebanese better look for help elsewhere than Hez.. They will see unimaginable destruction if they start a war with Israel. And the same applies to Damascus.
7. Bravo to all the Peace loving Utopians.
AlbertoGA ,   St. George, USA   (08.19.10)
Soon Hizbollahland will be turned into a Giant Parkinglot. I love all the Utopians talking about the "Peace Loving Religion of Islam" Ayayay !
8. Hezbollah building tunnels
Popoff ,   Russia   (08.19.10)
They will get what they want. They think they can send human bombs all over the place? NO, they will not succed doing it. They will be crashed massively, as it is the modern kind of war, where the tech plays a crucial role in the warfare. Just have to WAGE the war, when it comes. And not pretend "talking peace" at war. Take "hitler" as the ultimate example.
9. and theUN is suppose to stop weapons flow
psalms83 ,   selah   (08.19.10)
into lebenon.... ===========I I expect Israel will do what it needs to do..... no one wants loss of life but these folks are inviting it there is an unfullfilled bible prophcey that damascus will be a pile of ruble... hezbulah is making that a distinct posibility....
10. Total anarchy
Ezra ,   USA   (08.19.10)
Once again the teachings of Kabbalah materialize: embracing the ego only brings chaos. This article is a manifesto for self-destruction. Reminds me of the story of the fight between the white wolf and the black wolf. When asked who wins, the answer is: the one you feed.
11. lol @ utopians
christina ,   london, u.k   (08.19.10)

ALL RELIGIONS ARE PEACE LOVING!!
12. THE CRAZIES
Mark from Geogia ,   USA   (08.19.10)
I saw the movie the other day, these guys make the Crazies, look like boy scouts. People wonder why there isn't peace in the M.E., look no further than this article. We see clearly who the aggressors are, don't we?
13. I wonder if we can develop kinetic energy
jason white ,   afula,israel   (08.19.10)
bombs for these tunnels. Or something like the Daled rocket that killed the egyptian chief of staff in his underground bunker in 1969,I believe.
14. #6
J K ,   NYC, USA   (08.19.10)
While I agree that Hezbollah will lose any war initiated with Israel if Israel doesn't hold back as in past times, Israel will unfortunately take it's lumps as well with sustained rocket fire reaching into the heartland. Obviously with Israel's robust economy, it will bounce back faster than the parking lot Lebanon will be turned into, but lets be real here. This wont be a cake-walk under any circumstance.
15. r u kiddin me??!!
christina ,   london, u.k   (08.19.10)
M.E there was always peace in the middle east... c'mon in ww1 n ww2, we never heard of muslim n arabs.... they weren't that famous! lol... but when israel occupied palestine.. here is where problems initiated frm! fact!!.... i suggest israel give palestine their land back... n i dare you ( who ever is readin to to allow this message to be posted ) I DARE YOU !!
16. Arab Terrorists
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (08.19.10)
The strongest weapon the Muslim terrorists possess,is the constitution of the infidels,which bans the killing of civilians, who are used by the Muslim terrorists as a shield,and haven,from where the terrorists attack and kill civilians,men,women and children,had the allies practiced the same restrains during ww 2, the war would have lasted who knows how long ,and maybe the Germans could have won the war because they had better weapons,Israel's hands are tied ,while Hamas,Iran-Hezbolla can fire freely on civilians,and the same is true in Afganistan-Pakistan,how come ? the American Constitution gave the Army a free hand, during ww 2 how to conduct the war,the west,if it wishes to defeat the most dangerous enemy since Hitler -Stalin, must give the Arny a free hand to defeat the enemy,regardless of the constitution,what good is the constitution ? if the constituents are all death.
17. IDF
Shoeless Joe ,   Everett, WA   (08.19.10)
Say 'Good night' , Damascus
18. To: Shoeless Joe at No. 17
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.19.10)
Oh, for sure. Amen. By the way .... did you know that the math proved that the only member of the Chicago Black Sox that didn't throw the World Series games was Shoeless Joe?
19. Christina from UK
JUDAH THE LION   (08.19.10)
UK will soon be Muslim state and the flag of Islam will be in BUCKINGHAM PALACE.Israel not occupied land.This land belong to the JEWS.Read your bible and the koran.No such place called Palestine.
20. christina in UK
Larry ,   Phila, USA   (08.19.10)
Christina, Please read a history book before you write something like that. You just show that you are a historical illeterate. That is not meant as an insult just good advise. G-D Bless
21. #15, nice rant, but you're wrong about one tiny detail...
Jake ,   USA   (08.19.10)
The land belongs to the Jews. It always has, and it always will. 6 million Jews live in Israel, why would these people move to the most hostile region in the world for Jews? (They aren't suicidal like the Arabs) They know whose land it is & they're willing to die for it. Now, if you are who you say you are, kindly screw off, British hypocrite.
22. IDF confident, not overconfident. 1973 was wake up call
shneerhere ,   chicago   (08.19.10)
Let's not exhibit bravado and overconfidence. How long have we heard what the IDF will do, only to be sorely disappointed. Better to hear nothing, like the raid on the Syrian nuke reactor, and hear good news at the end.
23. Christina UK
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (08.19.10)
The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj al-Min Husseini, spent the World War II years in Germany where he was known as an accomplice of Adolph Hitler. Hitler promised the Haj that once Germany won the war in Europe it would eliminate all the Jews in the mideast including those in what was then called Palestine. I thought a little history lesson might help if you are eager to educate yourself. In addition, this is not Facebook nor some silly texting forum. I would advise that you employ real English words. I assume, hopefully not falsely, that you can.
24. #23;Robert, I was thinking the same thing
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.19.10)
I guess I'm behind the times, I admit it. But have learned a little from texting on the phone. But as I read her post, that is exactly what I thought, Pleeease, write in English. So I got a laugh from your post, thanks or is it thanx.
25. Arab / Israeli War
Simcha ,   So.Cal.USA   (08.19.10)
With all the saber ratteling going on in the Arab countries maybe one of them will make the preemptive strike and solve the problem of Israel Or the U.S.having to do it.
26. Responsibility
Ivan B. ,   San Jose, CA USA   (08.19.10)
The difference between WWII and today is that people understood that civilians are responsible fir their government's actions. The Nazi party was elected to Germany's government, and so were Hamas and Hezbollah. These adult civilians are culpable for the destruction and death their governments cause. They have no problem with rockets landing on (Jewish and non-Jewish) Israelis' heads!
27. #15
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (08.20.10)
You are right on, even if your talkback is a bit awkwardly put, perhaps in the London Cockney manner. Israel has a stark choice: Continue as it is going and be totally wiped out by a combined Muslim-Christian attack that will give no quarter, or be sensible, officially dismantle the state with a temporary handover to a UN Trusteeship Council to sort things out, and avert horrific bloodshed and doom.
28. THE GOOD NEWS
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.19.10)
Israel doesn't have to attack Lebanon, do they? As long as Hezbo is in the tunnels, they can't fight on land. Hezbo would have to, like last time, start a war with Israel. If Hezbo starts a war, Israel need not worry about collateral damage, not this time around. If I were Israel I simply wouldn't fight the war. If Hezbo fires a rocket level everything within a 200 yard radius around the launching site. If Hezbo continues to fire on civilian targets video the attacks, put them on the news with a warning...Lebanon civilian targets will added to the list...if the attacks continue. If they continue start taking out all infrastructure followed by carpet bombing the major cities. In WW2 the allied forces fired bombed Dresden, an industrial center for the Germans, civilians died, sad, but that's war.
29. Binary bombs. Burn the rats hiding in tunnels!

30. #27
Kathy ,   Ohio, USA   (08.20.10)
Why would the christians team up with the arabs to distroy Israel. Real christians support Israel. You need to review your history along with # 15. Jews have lived in Israel for thousands of years. Also read your Bible, if you have one.
