its evident that land is not the issue. If it was, peace would have been achieved.

You are a UK couch warrior you mean? What is your reason to back a radical Islamic terror group against the only democracy in that hell hole called the Mideast? Are you anti-Semitic? that is not in vogue anymore you know.. Are you a Back stabbing radical MUSLIM living in the UK as a 5th Column??? well, I think both. I only hope the Brits will realize who you are before it is too late for them ...

I love it when I get attacked personally by zionists as a response to my truthful facts. It means that they have no answer as the Hezbollah victory is undisputed throughout the world.. When backed into.a.corner, character assassination isthe israeli way..

Start with heavy bombardment of Lebanon including villages where Hezbollah are now known to be hiding out and use deep penetration bombs to destroy underground tunnels they use for getting around undetected and storing weapons. Make sure the officers on the ground are allowed to decide what they need and what they will get rather than politicians trying micromanaging things and insisting air power will win the day so no need for extra men. There must be no proportionality, Olmert wanted to fight in proportion there was no will to finish the job or do as well as we were capable of doing. Also we need to warn the Lebanese government if they support Hezbollah Beirut will also be considered a fair target. Next time we need to go in guns blazing, hit them hard and get out fast and certainly not accept any lame UN resolution. Lobby Congress to take our side so to act as a counter weight to Obama who wil be on tje side of the arabs.

NO 1, JEFF, People like you make me sick. You have a lot of damn nerve, preaching your smug, self righteous remarks to Israel, from behind your little computer screen, in the cozy comfort of your living room in the US. People in Israel on the other hand, are truly on the front lines against a cruel bitter enemy, namely Islamic fundamentalism. If the Israeli Government doesn't protect Israeli against these terrorist enemies, it is me and my children who are in mortal danger, not you or yours. Whatever it takes to protect Israeli citizens and "our children", the soldiers, is fine by me, and fine by the overwhelming majority of Israelis.

TO #7, ALAS You are naive, grossly misinformed, and plain dumb. I can't believe you really believe that the whole conflict is over "the settlements". What utter nonsense. If this were the case, after Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005, there would have been quiet and peace. Hamas would have used the infrastructure that Israel left behind, to help their people to flourish and gain livelihood. Instead they turned the whole area into a terrorist rathole, using it to launch rockets and further their ceaseless war against Israel. I assure you that if every last "settlement" were razed to the ground, these muslems would still find reasons to continue their war against Israel. You all should know this without me having to tell you. I mean really, you've fed into and bought the islamic propaganda, which has the world believing this is all about the settlements. What its really about is islamic bitterness and hatred against Israel and the western world.

Nasrallah's semi-brilliant/ultra shallow "strategies" will result in the completely leveled, evaporated Leb infra-structure, Leb SCORCHED EARTH, Leb stone-aged FUTURE OF what will be left (of post-war LEBANON). He really thinks Israel will just stand-by and let this bottom feeder get away with ANYTHING? He will wind up just like gaddafy, mubarak, and hussein and either be assassinated by his own people, hungby his own people, or found impaled by his own people, with a "gaddafy broomstick". His time is well past to take his final bows...so aloha and good riddence to bad sewage.! I wonder how many Israeli drones have his picture and profile in their targeting software? We'll see, just wait.

RE To # 63: You are totally deluding yourself here, “Hizbo-Warrier”. You swallowed Hizbo-Iranian 100% LIE-propaganda version of the “Holy & Divine Victory” without thinking at all (except your own wishful thinking), just like all the rest of the Arab and Muslim world. Yes, during the summer of 2006 the IDF did commit some major mistakes, which were mainly derived from the mixture of Dan Halutz’s doctrine of winning the war to 100% from the air, which is not possible, because you have also to control the ground and wipe out all resistance pockets there also (the only exception to this was Libya, but that’s another story), and the very unprofessional (from the military point of view) politician Olmert’s “hands-on” steering of this war, while war should be left to the military men. NONE of these mistakes will be repeated by the IDF in the next conflict, if it ever will be any. Now, look at the REAL RESULTS of the 2006 Lebanon war: More than 550 Hizbullah’s absolutely very best fighting thugs annihilated, Hizbo pushed back 20 km, behind the Litani river, the Lebanese State’s sovereignty over its own territory reestablished, 13000 armed UN troops protecting, together with the IDF, the Israeli-Lebanese border, and, since 6.5 years back in time, the absolutely MOST QUITE Northern border in Israel’s entire 65 years history!! And, the rat Nasrallah still holed up in his rat-hole, since 6.5 years. And ALL this, because in the REAL world, contrary to your very own (and your brothers Islamists, and other sick of blind, vicious, suffocating hate Israel-haters like you) wet dreams’ world – the IDF, despite some mistakes made, delivered a really very heavy & massive beating and devastating blow to the Hizbullah. Now – the State of Israel doesn’t want a war with Hizbullah, nor with Lebanon. BUT – you, and your kin just rest assured – if Israel will in the future be forced into such a war – the results will be totally & absolutely devastating for the Hizbullah. In such next war, in comparison to which the summer of 2006 will be like a picnic. It will be 100% “gloves off” for the IDF. The Nazi-Ayatollahs & Nazi-Mullahs of Teheran will not be able to save their proxy and their slave Hizbo this time. The Hizbullah will then be totally crushed and annihilated, once and for all. And, why “once and for all”?? Assad’s murderous regime is falling apart now. ALSO: - because some time in the future the Iranian people are going to remove the brutal & fanatical Mullahs’ regime suppressing and oppressing them – and then the rests of the Hizbullah left over after this very severe and absolutely devastating beating by the IDF will fall apart, like a house build of cards, and vanish forever from the Lebanese soil.

Alan, what you are saying is exactly what they want you to believe, that hezbollah is an imminent threat and that therefore Israel to defend itself has to do a preemptive strike. but the fact is that it is Israel who is always the agrgessor

Most of you seem to yearn for war, but you don't seem to understand the realities of modern war. You better ask yourself "did US win the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan" because those two wars define the "wins" that Israel could have in Syria or Lebanon. It may end up changing from bad to worse, but in any scenario, it would cost a fortune from your children future. If you leveled Lebanon or Syria with millions of civil casualties, it would probably mean the end of Israel, because US would use no Veto for brainless killers. It would also mean that every other enemy of Israel (and there are many) would use WMD against Israel in their next conflict. There would be no winners, like there was no winner on 2006 Lebanon war. If you want to win, learn to build peace. And no, you could not win a war against Iran. Remember German war against the Soviet Union. German had all the best military resources, but Soviet Union just was too big for German. You should have a winning strategy, but a nation with 10 times more people than Israel and 80 times larger than Israel is not possible to control by Israel.

NUKE IRAN FIRST. THEN CARRY ON THE DESTRUCTION OF SYRIA AND LEBANON.

JEOLOSY. EATS THE INNER SOLE I HAVE TO LAUGH AT MANY OF THE ARAB COUNTRY,S ARE IN TURMOIL, THATS GOD,S PUNISHMENT. MOSLEM LOVE KILLING EACH OTHER I HOPE MANY HIZBULLAH AND IRANIANS DIE IN SYRIA. THE MORE THE BETTER. GOD,S PUNISHMENT FOR GOING AGAINST HIS PEOPLE.

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT ISRAEL IN WAR THE WHOLE OF ISRAEL, BECOMES AN ARMY. OZER YISROAL BEGHBORA. ISRAEL GODS COUNTRY, I CRY TYPING THIS OUT AS I HAVE VERY MUCH FEELING FOR ISRAEL. YES THEIR OUR GOOD ISRAELI,S AND BAD ISRAELIS, JUST LIKE IN ANY COUNTRY. BUT ISRAEL HAS A PURPOSE.
