No one denies that Hizbullah started the fight, with its unprovoked incursion into Israel, and no one doubts that Israel can win it, at least in conventional terms. But that's not what matters as much as public perceptions, and the impact those perceptions have from Tehran to Cairo. The fires in Gaza, Lebanon and Iraq risk converging, if not on the ground, then in that virtual reality

 

 

How can you possibly blame Israel for the violence in the Middle East?! They did nothing to provoke Hezbollah, but Hezbollah is trying to destroy them! Those Europeans aren't much help to Israel either! And now my fellow Americans are blaming Israel, calling them terrorists! Not cool!

 

 

Israel belongs to the Chosen People, which are the Jewish people, therefore no one has the right to dispute this. If in doubt, read your Bible, no matter which version it is, its there. God will bless those who bless them, and curse those who cure them. Praise God for his People! Shalom, Shirl

 

 

The world has short memory and an endemic antiSemitism towards Israel. The war that is portrayed in stages through the press is a continued assault on the existence of Israel. The origen of the conflict is the inability of the Arabs to accept the fact that Israel must exist. The United Nations Partition was rejected by them and their aims continue to be the destruction of Israel, everything else are clever pretexts to blurr their real aims. Even "Palestine" as a country is a myth perpetuated on ignorance since the Arabs had done everything possible not to have such State as part of their strategy with the aim to destroy Israel. We must call for the conciousness of Humanity to unite behind Israel and see the real "disproportion" of judgement on the part of the enemies of Israel and by implication of Western Civilization and Humanity.

 

 

there can NEVER be peace in the MIDDLE EAST as advocated by the USA two (2) nations side by side in the G-D given land of ISRAEL. The entire area of ISRAEL belongs to all the JEWS. The so called palestinians have their own land in JORDAN. Appeasement is no answer to PEACE as has been demonstrated rather it is counter productive. When will we JEWS wake up and to the right thing. NO PALESTINIAN STATE. JORDAN IS THEIR STATE..!

 

 

Indeed what is happening in the ME is tragic as innocent civilians on both sides are caught up in the fracas. If the Hamas and the Hezbolla had not started this conflict by adbductin the IDF soldiers, we would not be talking now. It would appear that they must have planned this to coincide with the G8 to distract something. May be we will know or not

 

 

Viable Nations which help Israel will are indeed helping themselves. The common factor which attacks Israel will do so to the other Nations,

 

 

Jerusalem is the eternal Capital of not only the Land of Israel but also the people of Israel. The whole world knows and recognizes this fact. The Arab world have no claim to Jerusalem or for that matter to any part of the greater Land of Israel.

 

 

Israel is doing the right thing;let's all pray for her!

 

 

Israel has every reason to deal with full force with those who plot her destruction. There is no room for compromise at this time!

 

 

Israel has a right and an obligation to defend its citizens. My cry has not been for Israel to show restaint, but a loud cry and prayer that they have the power, and will to destroy all of those who have caused them years of bloodshed.

 

 

Israel must do what ever it takes to rid the world of Hezbollah and Hamas. Enough is enough.

 

 

Pray for a strong Israel.Lets finish these terrorist in Lebanon and Iran!!!

 

 

I can understand the situation of Israel and the reaction. Hope the military forces will be totally successful and will bei able to give peace, freedom und safty for the Israeli people at least for several years! Massl tov, meod, meod! Veserata shem!!!! Yours Roland Zimmer

 

 

Go Israel Go, Blast the terrorists to Hell.Sgt Irving Rosenthal,,US Army, retired; WW11 Veteran

 

 

Israel needs to teach Hiz-bully-ah & Ha-what-a-mess that they cannot with impunity commit unprovoked acts of aggression against her citizens. Like every government she must protect them. This continuous absurd chant from the world-at-large to "use restraint" is ridiculous when aimed at that most restrained of countries, Israel.

 

 

Israel must defend it self . It now has the oppurtunity to carry out the resolution of the UN for the Hozbollah to disarm. Israel did not look for this oppurtunity, but mow that it has it Israel cannot allow the Hezbollah to survive in Southern Lebanon so it can rearm and repeat w/ even more sophisiticated arms and fatal results.

 

 

It is a shame that a day does not go by that someone wants to murder a Jew. And the world does not care.

 

 

Bomb Syria, Knock out Irans nuclear capacity.

 

 

For 60 years Israel has endured the impertinence of the community of nations. An attack occurs. Israel reacts in defense and gains the upper hand on its opponents. Next, there is an outcry that Israel cease fire and back-up. Israel ceases its military action, backs up and waits for its opponents to produce as promised or intended. The opponents do not control their reactionary militants, do not even speak against them, and allow continued attacks on Israel ! Right now we are in the "outcry" of the community of nations for Israel to show "balanced" military action. Indeed !! Israel should say, "Not this time. We have backed up enough. No more attacks or you will feel the same reactions everytime". Let the "Arab community" now speak of restraint to the militants. Where is that voice?

 

 

I am grateful to see Israel finally respond like they are in a war. Wars should be fought to win and get it over with. The enwill endeavor to wipe Israel from the map and from the world. With Israel's military power and the help of God, Israel can win the victory and put those to shame who would hurt Israel

 

 

i am fully in support of israel in protecting themselves. i thought it unwise when they pulled out of gaza.

 

 

Israel is entitled to defend itself and is 100% correct in doing so. This violence was not begun by Israel. It was started by the Arabs in 1948 when they began their efforts to remove Israel from its land and kill the Jewish People. What's going on now is just the Arabs' latest effort to eliminate Israel.

 

 

Shalom: Not only is Israel justified but it is long overdue. No nation on earth would put up with what Israel has put up with. This action should kill further giving land away to demonic criminals.

 

 

Israel has the right to defend itself, kidnaping soldiers is an act of war, besides that, if we analize all the wars that Israel had in resent history were in self defense.

 

 

Go IDF! Today Hesballah, Tomorrow Hamas! Get this garbage off the face of the earth.

 

 

Israel has ALL rights to defends its people. Only comprehensive peace, which should include disarming Hezbolah, discontinue support from Syria and Iran can resolve the problem in MidleEast.

 

 

I have been married to a Palastinan/Muslim from Jordan for the past 10 years. I am in the process of getting a divorce. I am Jewish American Woman with a 6 year old son that I am fighting to bring up Jewish in America. With all this going on in Israel and Hammas, one would think I would have a much stronger support system to ensure that for my Jewish child. If he gets visitation that isn't controlled, he will have the ability to brainwash my little boy when he is around towards a confusing battle. Islam vs. Judisum. I think our personal battle should afford me alot of legal and politcal support from my country in terms of my and my son's rights to be a Jew in America. Mistakes have been made in the past but Muslims are showing their true colors to all of us. My son's father is no different. If you can show some support in anyway for us, please email me at nicknjay2000@yahoo.com

 

 

It is time that the terrorist groups who are getting their money from all the Arab countries are held to the fire and that the Arab countries stop lying to America about their desire to remove Israel from the face of the earth. If the countries wanted peace they would kill the Hamas and Hezbola leadership and stop giving them funding.

 

 

We must do whatever it takes from our part, all jewish people, to support Israel in these times of need.

 

 

The US Embassy should be moved to Jerusalem because it IS the capital (always has been, always will be) of ISRAEL!!

 

 

Yes,I totally support Israel`s right to exist and to defend its sovereignty.... The U.S. MUST help stop Hizbollah and Hamas both of which are trained and emanate from Syria and Iran... These are the terorists linked to Al Qaeda and the whole of the civilised western world must put a stop to this terrorism....The time is NOW...Israel always seems to have to act FIRST, then the rest of the world tends to follow....

 

 

Israel is not about to commmit suicide to please some demi-intelllectual leftish journalist who refuses to see what is in front of his nose.

 

 

Theonly thing a bully understands is force. They capture. plunder and murder, and dare to say that they are oppressed. Israel has every right to defend herself.

 

 

It is vital that the U.S. continue to lead the way in supporting Israel in all the world arenas.We need to take drastic action against the states that are the real supporters & sponsors of terrorism i.e. Syria & Iran. Only then will we be able to deal with their pawns, Hezbollah & Hamas & the PLO. World peace is at stake!

 

 

Anyone who knows a little of Jewish prayer and Jewish writing and poetry will know the attachment to Jerusalem. An elementary knowledge of the Bible, Old and New Testament will point to the love and longing for Jerusalem.

 

 

Europe, Russia and the rest of the world are cowards for not standing with Israel in this time of need. Very soon they also will feel what Israel is going thru, the muslim fanatics want to take over the world and coward Europe and Russia will have the same fate like they had in WW11

 

 

All of us, brazilian people, support for peace in Israel and its neighbours, but the israeli people have the right to defend themselves of any attack and respond to it.

 

 

What other choice does Israel have ? It is obvious that it never had that one single choice by its avowed enemies .. to be left in peace even at the expense of their own chance to build a nation and succeed as Israel has managed to do.

 

 

The current situation has been started by Arab terrorists tunnelling into Israel & murdering Israeli soldiers & kidnapping three members of the IDF. The USA Britain & France have in the past used force to retrieve their personnel from aggressors, so why not Israel ? The current administrations in Gaza & Lebanon have one thing in common, that is that they cannot control extreme groups that masquerade as political parties & have personal armies that not only terrorise their own countries & also the state of Israel. They also obstruct the social, political & economic development of the countries that they hail from. The state of Israel is justified to take what ever action it deems necessary to secure its soldiers safe return & secure its borders from uncompromising enemies.

 

 

Was it happened to France or Germany, would they have answered to the attack differently? Just think about it before judging and blaming Israel that is only defending itself.

 

 

I think Israel is ABSOLUTELY justified in their actions. Enough is enough! they did NOT start this. This was a plain invasion of Israel & kidnapping of Israeli soldiers by a bunch of COWARDS!

 

 

I feel that Israel has no option but to fight as she is doing now. I am 100% behind Israel in this battle.

 

 

Maybe if Bush had gone in full force 3 years ago like Israel has responded in the last week, Israel wouldn't have had to deal with the terrorists. Bush needs to be impeached for his abuse of power and inept leadership. I notice this is a UK site. I guess they've forgotten already the attacks last year and the decades of war with the IRA. It's so easy to pass judgement based on prejudices. However, it's the British government that allowed the Arabs to have such a heavy foothold in England. Especially in London. 15 years ago I was there and noticed the heavy Arabic citizenry. Does this have something to do with the fact that Britain occupied Israel prior to re-established Israel? It's time for the antiSemitic rhetoric to stop and think what you would do if your neighbor has spent your whole life attacking you. You give up certain things to obtain peace, yet that is not enough because your neighbor will not stop unless you are dead. More importantly, unlike soldiers in a war, these guerillas kidnap innocents and worst of all, have no regard for life, proclaiming that they will target your children and worse than that, send their children to be martyrs promising them paradise from the time the child can speak and walk and then actually celebrate when their own children die. Would you celebrate your own childs' death by suicide while targeting innocent citizens and the children of your neighbor?

 

 

Israel has, as every other sovereign nation has, a right to defend herself from unprovoked attack on her sovereign territory. It is time the Peace-Loving Nations of this world rise up against terrorism and against the Islam enemy. May Hashem be with you Israel.

 

 

If we did not act the kidnappings would escalate and be shown as a source of pride in the arab world.

 

 

I blame the goverment for the trouble we are in, because this Goverment shows weakness not strength. we must hit back with a steel fist and show the world that turning the cheek only brings disaster, we must fight for Victory and nothing less, and not let George Bush control our Country.

 

 

Israel cannot accept the these terrorist attacks, the terrorists invaded the sovereignty of Israel. Israel has to act firm against these irresponsible terrorist groups.

 

 

Every nation has the right of self-defense and to defend its citizens. Israel has the right to use every means possible to defend and/or rescue its citizens. This bombing prevented the moving by air of two of its citizen-soldiers out of the country and into one more inaccessible. Remember that the Muslim powers have vowed to obliterate Israel.

 

 

Israel is well within it's rights to defend it's people and it's land, and most definitely has a right to exist as much as anyone else on this planet.

 

 

Israel is doing the right thing. No country in the world should endure the sorrow of having their children and their wives blown up while shopping they are shopping. I believe that Israel acted just in time to avoid being destroyed by missiles, and rockets.

 

 

The only solution to this recent conflict is for the so called sovereign governments to actually enforce the law, aid Israel in having the kidnapped soldiers found and returned, and disarm these local radical terrorists, arrest them and have them put away for life.

 

 

Israel has the right to defend itself. Hezbollah and Hamas have repeatedly stated that their intent is to destroy Israel. Let the other nations listen to what they are saying before they are also destroyed.

 

 

We have tried to make peace in the face of rising contempt from both the Arab neibours & European hipocites. Why should we accept there violence? No other country would. I say enough! NO MORE!!

 

 

It is sad to see World powers giving incentives to terrorist countries and groups like Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas (great Islamic Iran). This will only add to our problems. The world is changing. Wrong becomes right and right becomes wrong. Thanks to leaders like Toni Blair and Chirac who would like to negotiate with terrorists instead of killing them. God will keep Israel safe.

 

 

When a nation fires rockets into another and then kills and kinapes its soldiers it is an act of war and should be treated as such. Even more so when a country [Iran] takes hostage over 300 Americans, takes over that country's embassy and defies the world -- an absolute causis belli. Carter, being a very weak president, sent all this in motion. Hopefully Israel will act with greater determination and power.

 

 

Who exactly was invited to vote in this poll? The majority of votes were cast for the negative position, that Israel was not justified in attacking Lebanon. Were these Jews voting?

 

 

Those who speak against Israel should have lived in muslim countries (not as a tourist) and in Israel as well(not as a tourist)and then they would know why Israel is right and should be supported. Petro-Dollars created the muslim power and muslim arrogance for the wealthy and many sufferings for the poor all along. Many people speak of justice and yet they do not know what they are talking about when speaking against ISRAEL. Support ISRAEL!

 

 

Israel is constantly being pressured by the world to give parts of itself away. No other nation is asked to do this. Considering that they are surrounded by hostile countries who want to push it into the sea, it is outrageous that they are asked to tolerate the constant harrassment, killing and maining of their citizens. Wake up world. They want to kill the Jews first and the Christians next. Then they will kill each other - Shite against Sunni against Wasabi

 

 

Israel has had no option but to respond strongly to the provocation of Hamas and Hespollah. Israel has the right to exist and to defend itself.

 

 

Support Israel NOW. It is being attacked by surrogates of Iran.

 

 

IT IS A LITTLE RIDICULOUS TO BLAME ISRAEL WHEN THE ISRAELIS WERE ATTACKED FIRST. SOLDIERS WERE KIDNAPPED AND 8 SOLDIERS WERE KILLED. IT WAS INTERESTING TO HEAR ARABIC IN THE GROCERY STORE WITHOUT ANYONE ATTACKING THEM, EVEN THOUGH ROCKETS WERE LANDING IN OUR CITIES AND KILLING OUR PEOPLE.

 

 

ISRAEL SHOULD RECEIVE ALL THE SUPPORT POSSIBLE AT THIS TIME. THE ARBS HAVE BROKEN EVERY RULE OF LAW & DECENCY THAT THE REST OF THE WORLD TRIES TO LIVE BY

 

 

Israel has shown phenomenal restraint in handling all the problems with the Palestinians. Don't take it to heart when people criticize you for bombing "civilian" populations. The terrorists set things up so that is necessary; that's THEIR fault. Israel has a right to defend herself. I'm getting really tired of all the criticism, and a lot of it is antisemitic. God gave you that land, and it's yours. Nothing else matters. Yes, Israel makes mistakes. We all do. But the overall way in which Israel has conducted herself is correct. The Palestinian leadership is basically insane.

 

 

I am a supporter of Israel and I strongly believe they have a right to defend themselves. Excuses are made on behalf of the terrorists and people who seek to destroy the Holy Land. Since the EU is so perverted as to take sides with evil countries who seek to wipe out Israel off the map I feel they should do whatever is necessary to survive. I totally disagree with the present leadership namely Ehud Olmert. I believe they should replace him with Benjamin Netanyahu who would be a much better leader

 

 

Israel has given made more concessions than any other country in this world. Now that the people who have vowed to wipe Israel off the map have missles are using them, Israel has every right to defend themselves and to attack all the surrounding nations that are involved.

 

 

israel must do anything it can to survive. it seems not many countries care about israel and never will. the usa has been in iraq for a long time and has lost many lives because of 9/11, israel is not doing any different, than we.

 

 

Keep Israel in control of Jerusalem to prevent the desecration of the holy sites of all faiths. The Moslems have already shown that they have no respect for any other faith's property or holy sites.

 

 

As an American from the United States of America I stand and support my Israelly brothers in their conflict toward terrorism. I do not stand alone but speak for my countryman and President.

 

 

Hola. Yep...just voted. Of course Israel is justified in defending herself. No other case, perhaps in all history is more clear cut. The world in general does not see this. So, pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Shalom. Sincerely, Josefina

 

 

Stand by Israel and support their efforts to combat terrorism and acts of war by Arab invaders and kidnappers.

 

 

Once again we see many of the world leaders asking Israel to show restraint. However since Israel left the Gaza strip last year the Hamas and others have continually attacked the Israeli population without restraint. Now we are seeing a copycat senario with Hezbollah from Lebanon. My question is quite simple - How do you ask Hamas and Hezbollah to show restraint when their sole aim is to wipe Israel and its people off the face of the earth. They could, of course, invest in their own people but that takes responsibility it is obviousl far easier to launch rockets and send in homicide bombers to slaughter as many Israelis as possible. I say Israelis as this includes Moslems and Christians as well as Jews.

 

 

Yes, I am for Israel bombing Lebanon because of Hezbollah being there. I feel sorry for the Lebanose people but Israel cant sit back & let the terroist threaten them & bomb them

 

 

Our hopes and prayers are with Israel. It is time for everyone to see that "Land for Peace" or any compromise with Islamic terrorists will not work. The answer is to make it very unhealthy for an Islamic Nation to support the extreme element in their midst. Maybe this will force those nations to take charge and to finally put an end to their terrorist groups. I only hope that the US will not go along with those wanting Israel to back off. They have put up with enough. Maybe Lybia will think twice before crossing into Israel to kill and take hostages. No coutry would allow this. Saying, "Please" won't work with those willing to die to kill or take hostages in Israel or wherever freedom exists. Betty Waller

 

 

Israel has every right to defend its borders. It is a shame that civilians get hurt, but how many Israelis have been killed or hurt because these stupid Arabs are being led by the nose by the Syrians and the iranians,who want nothing more then war against the wEST.

 

 

Lebanon is a country with a governement, Israel has the right to defend itself a 100% E.C.

 

 

Hopefully Olmert has finally awakened. Hopefully Olmert has come to the realization that peace can only be achieved if and when the enemy (Palestinians, Hizbullah, Islamic Jihad,) are defeated, the latter two are completely anihalated. Then Israel can negotiate as did the Allies after defeating Germany in WW II. Any breaking off after a temporary respite will only invite more of the same as has been the situation in the past. With US backing this time and a friendly administration Israel should install a military government, followed by a moderate Lebanese government with which Israel can sign a peace treaty.

 

 

The incompetence of Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld in reconstructing Iraq has emboldened Iran to promote international terrorism, and now the whole world in general and Israel in particular are paying the cost for the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld incompetence. The idea to remake Iraq deserved an A+ while the implementation of the plan by these three fools merits an F-.

 

 

If any other democratic nation were treated with the disregard for their safety and security that Israel is treated, there would be a world-wide outcry! Can we ask ourselves, why the international disrespect for Israel as a nation with the same right to self-protection as all nations?

 

 

With Israels new weaker cabinet, it only makes sense that the Terroists will test Israels resolve!! May God Bless them!!

 

 

Israel has every right, and duty, to protect itself from terrorists. Right on, Israel. We are behind you.

 

 

If Mexican terrorists attacked the US southern border and the Mexican government didn't take responsibility I think the US would retaliate. What's the difference if the scenario involves Israel being bombed? IMHO think that Syria should be held responsible.

 

 

I don't understand why the world this Israel is wrong to defend itself. The Syrian president said this problem has been going on since 1948 which just proves how much the Arab world never wanted Israel to exist and will stop at nothing until Israel is destroyed which will never happen.

 

 

I think Israel should not put up with one minute more of aggression. If the soldiers are not returned immediately, I encourage Israel to continue the fight.

 

 

israel is the only democracy in the Middle East and has right to defend herself as any other country in the world. Hizbollah and Hamas and other islamist are terrorists like Hitler. Their aim is another Holocaust. Maria

 

 

Is this just another attempt by Brittish Media to malign the Jewish Homeland I wouldnt be at all surprised.WOuld you ask such a question of aalmost any other world crisis Dafur's Moslem persecution of Christians for instance I dare say not.

 

 

The Israelis have every right and responsibility to demand for the return of their kidnapped soldiers. This action by Hamas and Hezbollah precipitated the proper retaliation by Israel. Israel had an agreement with Lebanon when they withdrew. Lebanon was to rid themselves of Hezbollah - never did that! Israel dismantled settlements in Gaza and palestinians have been sending missiles out of Gaza into Israel ever since. Palestinians live by their own "rules" ala Koran and cannot be trusted to make any kind of pact/agreenment, etc. They "dance to their own tune".

 

 

Israel has an obligation to destroy all its openly avowed enemies - period.

 

 

If Israel doesn't defend herself, no one else will. Israel stands alone as a tiny spec in a land surrounded by hateful, jealous enemies that have sworn to destroy her. If we and other countries allow the destruction of Israel, the world entire, shall suffer as well!

 

 

Israel needs to draw a line in the sand so to speak and bring an end to all of this once and for all. I think Israel should not listen to anyone else...just go and finish Hamas and Hezbollah off. The rest of the world does not live in Israel so the reality is, they can't possibly know what it is like.Israel will prevail.

 

 

Bomb the hell out of those Terrorists and countries that support them.

 

 

For over two years now, Israel has been doing nothing but make peace gestures and the usual gruesome gaggle of islamists have interpreted this as weakness to be exploited. Enough is enough: let's roll, Israel!

 

 

I can't understand how any thinking person could oppose or object to the defensive move by Israel in attacking Hezbollah in Lebanon and those who, by failing in their duty to oppose Hezbollah, must assume some responsibity for the actions of that terror group.

 

 

Unlike the Jews the Palestenians never had sovereignty over Jerusalem. Only under Jewish rule have all three major world religions given the rights to practice freely. Only by keeping a united Jerusalem under Israeli rule will Jerusalem by free city for all.

 

 

Christians everywhere should support Israel, God's Chosen People. They are now in a battle for their survival against the forces of Islam who are determined to exterminate them from the face of the earth.May GOD bless Israel and America, and they should stand firm together against this extremist foe.

 

 

The Israeli government under the US pressure vilified Rabbi Kahane because he was a threat to their power. Rabbi Kahane predicted and warned about the current situation with the Arabs but he was silenced and smeared in the media. Had the Arabs been removed from Gaza instead of Jews, no terror would come out of there. Rabbi Kahane felt the pain of every Jewish victim of terror and would have unleashed the Israeli army on them to put an end to their terror instead of the government tying the army's hands so they can't do much against the Arabs. Rabbi Kahane proved to be right about the Arab problem in spite of all the smear tactics.

 

 

Israel is God's chosen people. They are not the terrorists and are not the uncivilized ones. Throughout history the Jews have been a target. Why are we letting it happen again?

 

 

There is no other way. If they did not do it, then Hezbollah would be kidnapping all the time. There is no negotiating with those Terrorists. GO ISRAEL.

 

 

Please pray hard for all of us living in northern Israel that the bloodshed will soon end and we'll be able to return to our peaceful lives.

 

 

Appeasement has not worked nor has turning the other cheek,it is the duty of those elected to protect the peoples, Israel has the right the duty to stand against terror and the first duty of the goverment is to please and appease the peoples not the world.

 

 

As usual, Israel is criticized for defending herself. She is the best friend we have. It is my devoted duty to defend and stand for Israel, always, as a woman and as a christian. I love the jewish people anyway and they are showing Washington how it is done. We should stand strong like Israel instead of tip toing, trying to spare feelings or pat our enemies (the stupid world out there, the arabs and the dam democrats liberals in this country) and at the same time tell Israel to cool it. How shameful, how daring for our politicians to tell Israel, stand still, have your men, women and children killed and murdered but do not defend yourself.No, nobody should accept the islamic way, intolerant and cruel and inhuman. They are barbaric with one end in mind and in their wicked heart, the end of Israel and her friends. In america we are scarcely her friend, we do not stand strong enough for her because politicians whom we send to Washington are scary cats. I voted for Bush and Cornyn and Hutchison, year after year, but they better behave and speak for me or they will loose supporters. The time is so critical, and we need not to cave before unorthodox ways used by a bunch of radical islamic varmit. You do not discuss peace and compromise (Israel gave in too many times just to please the world, a world who still hates her more and more) with invading PLO (they are the occupants and could not be happy with that)and hamas and other terrorrists groups. Their end is to see Israel completely pulverised. How do you ever get along with some hypocritical fanatic around a peace table??????? Leave Israel alone, do not tell her how she needs to deal with her politic. She is a grown tiny little Nation and is even now as we speak showing the courage that we , the biggest and powerful nation on the face of the earth lacked,how to destroy people who do not have any decensy or compassion or tolerance or the most basic respect for human life. They are sadistic and deceived and blinded by their hatred.God bless Israel now and forever and the US and whoever stand for Israel.

 

 

I am fully supportive of Israel's current actions in Lebanon. I am a non-Jew living in Phoenix, Arizona, and it is abundantly clear to me that the Palestinian leadership does not desire a meaninful peace with Israel. Israel has made countless concessions with no benefit from the other side. Within days or hours, the Palestinian leaders are demanding Israel be completely eliminated. In my opinion, the only way to deal with the Arab world is through a position of strength. I only wish the US government had the backbone and integrity to address issues as directly as Israel. My prayer is that Israel will always remain strong and enjoy peace. However, peace will not be acheived through weakness.

 

 

With the wider war with Islam beginning to flower, do not think that selling Israel down the drain will bring peace, (as some on the Left are asserting). That's what Neville Chamberlain thought in 1938 when he sold Czechoslavakia down the drain for "Peace in our time". Capt Dave Petteys

 

 

Has the world had a collective lobotomy? This situation is so obvious, yet the UN leaders and other national leaders seem to miss the whole point. These little bully/coward nations/organizations provoke Israel over and over. Israel shows patience with them beyond the endurance of any civilized nation. Finally they provoke Israel until Israel says, "Enough." Then when Israel retaliates, the little cowards start screaming like a little girl--they want help--they want the UN to protect them--they want the other muslim nations to protect them--they are helpless. Just last week they did this in Gaza. They were hiding their heads,wringing their hands and crying for support. Then when Israel withdrew some tanks from Northern Gaza, they started puffing up their chests and shouting, "We showed them. We made them back off." What nuts!

 

 

Lebanon should keep it`s house in order. This is especially when the Hizbollah are now in parliament and allowed to do as they please in southern Lebanon.

 

 

Lebanon should keep it`s house in order. This is especially when the Hizbollah are now in parliament and allowed to do as they please in southern Lebanon.

 

 

Unconditional surrender from by both Hizbolah and Hamas is what Israel should be pursuing, no half way measures. Mop these vermin up while the mopping is good. If Iran involves herself directly then the US my country should annhillate them. We are at a nexus, the terrorists have no rules in how the conduct terror , we should have zero rules in how we destroy them.

 

 

This should have been sorted out under Sharon reign. He was to interested in looking after saving himself from deep trouble. He's had his reward. Now there are two people who have no idea. No expeirance. Just looking for themselves. How could this so called PM even mention this week about continuing with his plan. This is disgusting. He should watch himself.He may land up worse then his predessior. I hope Israel pull out quickly and well on top but one thing they shouldn't forget, it is not them that will win, it is the hands of the Almighty and the sooner the acknowledge this the better for them and everyone. This now the times of Moshiach. There is no doubt and we must behave ourselves better then we ever have for this redemption. Shabbat Shalom.
