Israel's statement said that these kinds of comments and their condemnations of Israel actions represent "overt support for terrorism."
Lebanon is asking other Arab nations to help out, financially, in rebuilding infrastructure destroyed by Israeli attacks. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have already pledged tens of millions of dollars to Lebanon.

Thanks.

Does this sycophantic drivel actually make you two feel better about yourselves? Only ardent Zionists seeking self-affirmation read your posts anyway, and occasionally someone reasonable like me will do it for a good chuckle at your ideological expense.
So you made aliyah and now you're going to do everything in your power to justify it? That's outcome-based decision-making, friend. Congratulations, you are on the same level of fanaticism / logic as the people you hate. Welcome to the moral trenches.
Fox News does a better job at actually rallying people around the Israeli flag, I would expect that they should put you out of business soon. They're much craftier at playing to your crowd.
Behemoth,
I think you have been told already that personal insults are not accepted here!
I understand that you have some issues - but please we are not the address you need.
Since you really have nothing of any substance to say, and all you really come here to do is to insult people - I am asking you nicely not to comment on our blog any more.
I just found your blog via a convoluted journey from Michelle Malkin, thanks for all the info that FOX News and all the other media "know-it-alls" don't give us.
We are with you, for what it's worth. We hope that you guys have the endurance to get rid of the Hizbollah filth, I read on another site that this fight has a lot of support amongst the Christians of Lebanon.
We think its ironic that we get attacked here in America and we form a huge coalition and get to go out and kill a bunch of evil terrorists. It happens to Israel all the time and she has to defend herself all alone. It doesn't make any sense to us.
God bless you guys.

In addition to that poor 5 yrs old girl, you can check here and see what is happening on the other side.
Wish all this will come to an end.
Note : Hizbollah does NOT represent lebanon, nor does it represent the government of Lebanon. Did you hear Lebanese PM Saniora speech yesterday ? It was very positive.
YET, your government has been used to using collective punishment . Why destroying bridges, power plants, roads, fuel tanks and all infrastructure for ALL civilians ??
You can surely say something about it in your blog, to balance things.
try to be more positive.
Thanks so much for the updates. This is getting to be personal, as some of those rockets struck the place where my relatives live... Keep up the good work!
Osaid:
Hezbollah is in the Lebanese Government - 2 Ministers I believe. It certainly represents some people in Lebanon, but the point is that it has been allowed to attack Israel.
I wish there was a way to cut out supply of weapons to Hezbollah and to annihalate the terrorists without affecting innocent people, but there isn't one.
I assume it was OK for you to insult me on my blog based on character assassination? You people really are great at double standards. I will continue commenting when I see something that outrages me. For the record, your sycophantic comrades outrage me.
If you are the gutless intolerant anti-democratic Zionist cowards I take you for, then you can ban me or kindly ask me to abstain from commenting all you want. But it only proves me right.
Behemoth,
I promise to refrain from commenting at all on your Blog, OK?
We told you from your first comment that we have no issues with ANYONE who does not agree with us - In fact I Like to see that other people read my blog.
I have an issue with the personal attacks, and if you can't figure out how to comment on our site without insulting anyone - then just don't comment - if you have something constructive to say (IE - Osaid's comment - while I don't agree with him brings good points - even if they are wrong).
Osaid,
Bridges, roads, airports Fuel tanks ETC. that are used by the military are no longer considered Civilian and therefore are military Targets. For example the American Interstate Highway system. Israel has some roads like that as well - but Hizbullah is not aiming at the roads they are trying to kill civilians - Why aren't they attacking the Army that is sitting on the border??
Also using civilian areas to hide weapons - big no no in Int. Law. All these things are not collective punishment - Firing rockets into cities at random on the other hand is collective punishment!
AS for PM Seniora, Just like I have nothing against the people of Lebanon - I have nothing against their Govt. It's just sad that it took this much pressure on him to make him do something he should have done OVER 6 YEARS AGO!!!
behemoth, that's strike 3. You have nothing constructive to write, and you do nothing but insult other people and their beliefs. Stop posting here. Your comments are not wanted. Good-bye.

Ummm... OK, Osaid. You're right. We're wrong. Now, we'll just get back to killing more cows because we have nothing better to do with our time.
-OC
Osaid,
Saniora gave a heart-felt speech, but he was still afraid to NAME Hezbollah. How can we expect that he would DO something about them? In any case it's not the words that matter. I have not seen the Lebanese army fighting Hezbollah yet.
With good intentions but lack of actions from the Lebanese Government, Israel has no choice but to defend it's citizens.
Olah/Oleh:
It's not my business, but it would be a shame to see Behemoth101 disappear from your comment section. He just shows the level of anti-zionist Jews.
I understand that shlemazl, but I have no interest in having people come here and do nothing but spew vitriolic hatred towards other people and insult and belittle other peoples' beliefs. He's done enough to show his self-hating Jewish sentiments. It's time for it to stop, and for him to say good-bye, and to act like an adult and take his immature and uneducated antics else-where.
