1. Bring Obama + Kerry w/ their families for vacation in south
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (03.14.14)
Let them enjoy, firsthand, the joys of living under rocket fire......
2. Who Cares? Not me
Ahmed ,   Lebanon   (03.14.14)
Break out the violins, you're breaking my heart. Your children got booed by a few scraps of metal flying through the sky? I grew up in beirut in the 80's, my days were spent watching entire neighourhoods decimated. I had missiles in my own bedroom, i saw bodies on a daily basis. And the sound of sonic booms all night was intended to wake us up every hour. When we played outside with our friends, every other week one of them would have his legs blown off by the landmines your plans blanketed our fields with. But that's not immoral. THAT was against terrorists.
3. #2 say thank you
(03.14.14)
Say thank you to your Syrian friends who started the Lebanese civil war, killed any chance of Lebanese democracy and peace with Israel, and of course placed those land mines you are crying about. Also thank your PLO friends who performed the worst atrocities (remember Damour?). The fact is that Israel's part in making Lebanon unlivable was minor, short-lived and all thanks to Assad who did not let the Lebanese government eliminate PLO.
4. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.14.14)
Break out the violins. You're making me cry. Israelis love their children more than we hate terrorists. Too bad terrorists hate Israelis more than they love their children. As to morality -- contemplate this: What is immoral is that scurrilous terrorists use civilians as human shields. The State of Israel has an affirmative duty to protect and defend its citizens against terrorist acts. A failure to do so would be immoral. Terrorists are a priori immoral; not only do they wish to inspire fear and kill others, they seem not to care about endangering their own population. It does not get much more immoral than that. Israel's moral obligation to end terrorist attacks on its soil is paramount. We are not to blame if terrorists surround themselves with civilians. That does not change Israel's moral obligation to its citizens. Not to bomb the terrorists would be immoral.
5.  Permitting Gaza's Exemption , sanctions Israeli Trauma
Roland ,   London England   (03.14.14)
6. If Israel is not a Jewish state
Zionists' hypocrisy   (03.14.14)
run by Torah laws they have no right to the land and to throw the Arabs out. Not only is not run by Torah laws, the ZIonists are ashamed to say that Israel belongs Jews because of the Torah which gives them even less right to the land.

hay buddy, most of the murder in beirut and the killings were done by arafat's islamic muslim goons against you christians. do not blame israel for that. if it was not for israel entering lebanon and helping your sorry asses against arafat's terror cells, you'd be toast by now.
