31. #22 Daniel you dope....
RichInBoston ,   Boston USA   (12.17.10)
What you call the 2nd war was nothing more than a military action aimed at punishing Lebanon for its cross boarder attack. If you actually knew anything about military history or capability you'd know that in a true war of survival Israel would decimate the Lebanese military in hours, not days. The rocket attacks by Hezbollah were of no true military benefit, just a scare tactic. You are an idiot and fool to think otherwise.
32. #22 Daniel
Hal ,   Usa   (12.17.10)
Ultimately Daniel, missles like Hezboallah uses are in a word, useless against a country like Israel with it's superior ability to put the hurt on specific targets. While the Hezbonians can frighten Israeli citizens, Israel can effectively cause the mass dislocation of Lebanese citizenry and the severe degradation of critical Lebanese infrastructure that cannot be put back on line easily. If it comes to an "all-out" scenario Daniel, I would not want to be north of the Israeli border, and I am not talking nuclear either. The fact of the matter is that in 2006 the Israeli response was limited and eratic from a tactical standpoint. The lessons have been learned and the political lack of resolve to make the critical choices are removed as well. There is a reason that Hezboallah has kept it's head down since 2006 and it is not because they are waiting for round- 2 with confidence. Hezboallah knows that they were fortunate in 2006. They also know that Israel has a score to settle that will take Lebanon to a catastrophic result if the Fat-assed Nasrallah gets jiggy with his toy soldiers again. Missles missles everywhere and nary an advantage to be had !

35. Poor, Poor Matty
Paul ,   Israel   (12.18.10)
First you portrayed yourself as a person concerned with HR violations in Gaza and the West Bank (excluding those against Jews and Israelis, of course), these poor people who are suffering etc. That was "sort of" plausible- if misguided and misinformed - when you kept your comments limited to the West Bank and Gaza. But now, with this latest comment of yours, you have at last exposed yourself as an antisemite, not really concerned with Palestinian suffering but more concerned with Israel's demise. Poor, poor Matty, your mask of PC Leftism has fallen and your racist opinions are now exposed. Just one thing - in case you forgot: This "failure" and "retreat" you talk about in the Second Lebanese War ignores the fact that there were over 3000 casualties on the Hizbollah/ Lebanese side as opposed to 300 on Israel's, including civilians. Oh and I almost forgot: Israel had restored all the destruction caused by the Hizbollah rockets within 4 months. 4 years on and Lebanon still hasn't recovered, despite all the international aid poured into it. Victories like that must be sooo sweet. How do you define victory? By not squaling "I surrender"? Reminds me of the Monty Python scene where the knight is left without arms or legs and still shouts, "Come back and fight".
36. Hope next war will end Hezbullah power
OPD ,   Finland   (12.18.10)
I don´t want war but it seems more than possible. I mean Hezbullah is backed by the axis of evil: Turkey, Syria and Iran. These countries are sure that they are God´s force but future seems. Bible tells that Israel will be in big trouble but the real God will save them and shows his anger to these servants of grazy and violent "God". Let the war began and Israel destroy Hezbullah forever. It will happen and it´s better for Lebanese and even for the Shite majority folks in Lebanon. I can see Nasrallah´s dead body lying in the street of Beirut´s Hezbullahstan. I´m waiting that moment. Hezbullah, please start a war soon and be destroyed.
