Israeli misgivings about Olmert’s and Peretz’s grandstanding:
It is doubtful that Olmert and Peretz, even in their worst nightmares, ever envisioned this spontaneous operation extending and transforming into the longest war to which the Israeli home front has been exposed since the War of Independence (not counting the terror attacks). But the enchanting myth of a “speedy, strong and elegant” IDF that “supplies the goods” within two or three days is blowing up in their faces, just as it blew up in the faces of their predecessors.
The article raises the big question: would Ariel Sharon have done this?
I understand that you write for that venomous, leftist, anti-Semitic British rag, al-Guardiyuna. Any talk of a “Qana Massacre” is risible. If ever there was a staged “massacre,” this was it — replete with missing casualties (down from 50-plus to less than 30 in a few days). I guess they were miraculously talked back to life by the “articulate” Nasrallah? What a joke. May Israel kick some serious HIzbulla ass. — gunjam
Oh, I kinda think of speed, strength, and elegance as relative terms. Effective and efficient are better terms. Elegance in war is something I’m not familiar with. Perhaps you are.
Blowing up in (Israel’s) face? Doubt it. I suspect when all is done, Hezbollah will be a shell. Who knows? My money is on the IDF meat grinder.
Oh, and that’s HEZBOLLAH, Sport. Don’t try to pawn off Lebanese freedom fighters. It ain’t gonna hunt. Your blog declares itself “anti torture”. Then don’t torture us with your tedious lies.
Because I care.
Are you a journalist or pawn of Muslim filth? If the Isrealis fought on equal terms, the entire Middle East would be under their control. The IDF, unlike Hezebollah, isn’t indiscriminately bombing targets. Also, the IDF, unlike Hezebollah, isn’t using civilians nor U.N. bases as shields. Just like the U.S., the IDF is fighting on the ground as well as on the public opinion front.
99.9% of Muslins world wide do not respect the teachings of Muhammad or GOD…
Thou shalt have no other Gods before me
Remember the Sabbath day, keep it Holy
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not Covent
How do I know this? I can hear his words…
This is a blog?
I thought it was a bog! .. Those who await the coming of the upteenth Imam need to shovel massive amounts of defication to inure thier sense of smell when he arises from the septic pool in which he has been hiding.
I so agree with #1..gunjam! Right on bro! Hizbulla will get there butt kicked!! They are liars and are using the civilians as shields but the problem is and thank God not like us they don’t care! Hizbulla is a nasty cancer and they are going to get rid of them! I love it! GO ISRAEL!!
My question is who were the two “captured” soldiers? Must’ve been important to somebody important in Isreal. My guess is, Mossad blew it out of proportion for the policymakers…but just speculation on my part. While I do believe Hezbollah, ie. Lebanon, will lose handily, why can’t the Isrealis simply accept the truth that the continuation of these attacks/retalliation(s) is/are simply bad business,
It has become increasingly apparent to every American that World War 3 has started. We didnt start the other 2 world wars but we sure came in and finished them. This war will be no different. When America mobilzes there are no problems we can’t solve. Look back at our history. It took 4 years to finish the last one.
In 5 years the USA will be energy independant. Expect it to be a major issue in the next Presidential election. At that point the muslim terrorist will be holding China an Russia hostage….not the US. Without US dollars to fund their activities they will sink farther into desperation. What happens at that point will be up to The Almighty.
And PS….the US will never abandon Israel. THe US was founded on Christian principles and those principals require we support Israel. This isnt going away.
Wow. Raving Zionists (and their Christian fundie lapdogs) must have something to alert them about blog posts with the word “Israel” in them.
at first i thought the comments were sarcastic …
Hey you Zionists, you must be crazy to believe that you’ll have peace ever with Arabs.You might buy the Regimes, but not the people. Ehud Olmert succeded very well in earning the hatred of the 22 peoples surrounding you, not only for himself but for all Israelis. Today, u r nothing, just some humble resistance group with the modest weapons is terrifying you for almost a month, keeping you in the shelters by millions, and harming your economy by billions. Well, do you think this is the end of it? hehehe, you’ll never have a full night sleep from now on cowards. Even jews around the world are opposing you, humanity detests you and your allies, you existance is alien and aliens can’t live forever. Today, every arab, every moslem, becam Ahmady Nejad. And the rest of the world? hehehe, they will be watching you being slaughtered, one by one like pigs. Enjoy it as much as you can, as your day is coming so sooooooooon.
“…This war will be no different. When America mobilzes there are no problems we can’t solve. Look back at our history…”
ah. right. Perhaps, then, it would be a good time for the US to mobilize itself in iraq because those problems could use some solving. oh wait, it already has.
Nice responses, Issandr, you definitely trapped off some sort of monitoring software. They seem to have missed the part of the post that mentions it is Israeli concerns with the war in Lebanon…
Dude, I need to get myself some of that software. I am sure I know someone that could crack it, though I am not really into trolling blogs, but it would be an excellent tool Is it something like Technocrati?
Anyways, what I was gonna say before stumbling on these zionists and ilk was this: will the catchphrase WWJD (what would jesus do?) turn into a Likudnik WWSD: what would sharon do?
To the egyptian falcon(sic), post #11: “Hey you Zionists, you must be crazy to believe that you’ll have peace ever with Arabs.”
Hey, genius, the only value Israel and the US serve for you Arabs is that we give you a small break from your primary activity: Intramural (read: arab-on-arab) conflict!
When YOU figure out how to get along with yourselves, please come talk to us about getting along with you. (I’m not holding my breath.) — gunjam
P.S. You might start in Iraq, where Arabs kill more Arabs DAILY than Israel killed in Lebanon in a WEEK! (Oh, but that is OKAYYYYYYY, right? 😉 ).
