1. despite his comments...
nomad ,   canada   (08.10.06)
...the idiotarians in europe actually believe it is a fight about occupation and not about what it really is, the arabs trying to wipe out the jews. Nasrallah could say "Our goal is to kill jews" and the euros would tell him that that is not his goal. I don't know how the real motivation for this war can get any clearer?
2. stay in shelters..its your land..dont leave

3. Echoes of 1948
Nachash Tsefah ,   Tel Aviv   (08.10.06)
Sounds like 1948 when the invading Arab armies told the Arabs to leave so that they could roll in and crush the Jews. 60-odd years later, the Arabs are still squealing about the Naqba that befell them then. Get the Arabs to clear out of Haifa and piss off to Hizballahstan, and the same for those in the rest of Israel. Prepare for NAQBA II: Return of the JEW!
4. Arab residents refuse to leave Haifa.
julian harlowe ,   belmont, ma, usa   (08.10.06)
Strength and Courage to ALL the people of Haifa.
5. Israeli Arabs
Ricky Bobby ,   Talladega, USA   (08.10.06)
Nasrallah has as much pity for an Arab Israeli that he has for a Lebanese Arab. NONE. Nasrallah and Iran have sworn to fight to the last Lebanese. Nasrallah said he will leave Lebanon scorched earth if necessary. "Leave" being the key word. If Nasrallah were still in Lebanon he would show himself to Al-Jazeera TV with Lebanon in the background. He won't because he is not in Lebanon. Try Iran or Syria. That is why he is being so bold with Lebanon. He is not there! If he is he should show himself with proof of still being in Lebanon. He is a hero to the Lebanese people after all. What would they think if he was safe in Syria and they were going through hell? Hhmmmmm.... Time to show yourself fat bastard. Show the ones who sacrifice their country and freedom that you are in Lebanon leading the Jihad. Not in a bunker fat man. Show It! You talk big, but can you walk the talk that you talk? NOT A CHANCE! He will kill all you Israeli Arabs and Lebanese though. You are more important to Nasrallah dead. It makes good pictures and video if you die.
6. 8/22/2006
Randy ,   OKC, USA   (08.10.06)
I read an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) written by world-renowned Middle East scholar Bernard Lewis. It deals with the significance of August 22, 2006 to Muslims. According to Lewis 8/22/2006 might well be deemed an appropriate date for the apocalyptic ending of Israel and if necessary the world in the minds of Islamofacists like Nasarallah and Iranian President Adolf Imanutjob. This has something to do with Miraj. (Muhammad riding his magical pony to Jerusalem at night when no one else could see him.) You can read the article here from Frontpage Magazine: http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=23533
7. ARAB AND ISRAELI UNITY VS: NASRALLAH / IRAN - INTERESTING
ST ANDREW OF GALILEE ,   HEAVEN AND EARTH   (08.10.06)
ITS TIME FOR PALESTINE AND ISRAEL TO BECOME ONE COUNTRY: JERUSALEM BECAUSE WE ALL LOVE HER HAPPINESS MORE THAN OUR TRIBAL DESIRES TO CALL OUR OWN EXCLUSIVELY RESIST NASRALLAH ENTERING JERUSALEM IS THE NEW RALLYING CRY !!!
8. Because he cares
ali ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (08.10.06)
Just a reminder, he sent his own son for combat in 1998 and was killed. what a man?
9. Nasralla wants to make you refuges as well.
Mike ,   Israel   (08.10.06)
10. n-ASS-rallah, go and buy a......
ssssssssssssssssss ,   Los Angeles   (08.10.06)
picture frame for yourself: you will need it very soon, when your picture will be shown to the world: DEAD, just like Al Zarqawi, just like the 2 sons of Saddam Hussein.
11. Good example
Hans-Jörg Marby ,   Markdorf, Germany   (08.10.06)
12. Wow
George W ,   Chicago IL   (08.10.06)
I wonder if this will change the minds of people who are convinced Arabs in Israel are some looming fifth column just waiting to throw everything away in order to kill Jews. These people keep asking, when have the Arabs ever stood up to suicide bombers (as if anyone could) or condemned terrorism (ignoring the times they have). I also wonder if this will change the minds of Hezbollah fanatics who would like nothing better than a Jewish-only city to shoot at. This is about as clear as you could get; if the Arabs fled it would be much safer for them personally, but also clear the way for Hezbollah to let loose completely. Now we find that they are willing to keep in the line of fire. Things would be so much simpler for ideological fanatics (whether Hamas or Kahane) if one side was all Jews and the other was all Arabs; everyone could just fire away and not worry about the human cost. But these damn Israeli Arabs keep getting in the way, complicating everything and reminding everyone that there are bigger things in life than slogans. Because they're caught between so many contrasting currents, they can see the good points and the BS in each. Their position requires them to ignore ideology in favor of practicality. They are easily the most practical, clear headed people in the entire middle east. All you dreamers in that area (whatever your particular dream may be--pushing the Jews back into the sea? Establishing a Caliphate? Rebuilding the Temple and jump-starting the Messiah?) need to realize how valuable it is to have people who deal with messy reality. Remove them at your peril.
13. Ali your mother is more of a man than Nasrallah
Mike ,   Israel   (08.10.06)
He hides in his hole while he lets your mother look for food for you and you sisters,
14. #7 -- SOUNDS LIKE ONE OF THE STORIES FROM
USA ,   USA   (08.10.06)
THE BOOK OF SOLOMON WHERE TWO MOTHERS BOTH CLAIMED ONE BABY AS THEIRS -- DIDN'T ONE OF THEM GIVE UP THE BABY BEFORE HAVING IT CUT IN HALF? THE BABY I MEAN. THIS WAS HOW SOLOMON DECIDED WHO WAS THE TRUE MOTHER OF THE BABY?
15. His own son for combat
Harissa ,   Israel   (08.10.06)
This does not mean much...not to the shiite...they are willingly to send their own mother to the shahada... This loooove of flattering with death...life worths nothing...quite a contradiction for people that are fighting for a "place in the world"...ain´t it?
16. Ali #8
Aaron   (08.10.06)
Ali, until he is willing to pick up a rifle himself, but prefers to stay in his hole, he is a coward. This trick of volunteering your sons is cowardice of the highest water, the son has no choice (filial piety or equivalent) and the father gains through no loss to themself.
17. Ali: Nasrallah is an idiot
Murray of Montreal   (08.10.06)
He could have sent his son to university but instead he sent him off to kill Jews.
18. A little little off topic but still good news...
Patrick ,   Siegen, Germany   (08.10.06)
The leading German opinionmaker has a new article on how well Hisbullah is equipped and trained. Source is a former IDF Soldier, currently working for the Israeli Military Intelligence. This article is translated from German and this site gets more than 130 mill. pageviews/month... lets hope word gets out about whats really up with those "civilians" --> http://service.spiegel.de/cache/international/spiegel/0,1518,430863,00.html You also consider this piece of German opinion "Why Israel's reaction is right" --> http://service.spiegel.de/cache/international/0,1518,428245,00.html Hope I didn't break any rules by posting the links, but it's a worthwhile read really. Walk tall Israel! Greets P
19. I like the stance, but not the reasoning and ideology
(08.10.06)
You would think after living among Israelis they would form some sort of bond with Jews. But no. They are still "Palestinians" in occupied land. Israeli Arabs are dangerous for the state because their ideology will never change or become more moderate. It is only a matter of time before the war against terrorism becomes internal.
20. HERE IS TRUTH
HM ,   Canada   (08.10.06)
Nothing more need be said
21. Wonder if he appreciates at all the irony of these words
howard ,   pacific coast, usa   (08.10.06)
"I have a special message to the Arabs of Haifa, to your martyrs and to your wounded. I call you to leave this city. I hope you do this. ... Please leave so we don't shed your blood, which is our blood." Shades of 1948, when the Arab armies told the Arabs in Israel to get out of the way... .
22. remember nasrallahs stupid statement
meni   (08.10.06)
when people say that in 1948 arabs were expelled...while the full truth is not known, many fled in response to statements just like the ones made in 2006 like nasrallah..."leave so that we can kill all the jews...". does that make you a victim? i think thats debatable.
23. 8
(08.10.06)
ha ha ha ha big deal!! so many so called Palestinians send their sons to blow themselves up while killing innocents. So You want to tell me that they care? Your culture glorifies death. This is not a man. This is a cold-blooded Satan who is motivated by hatred.
24. Ali, Beirut, Lebanon
Sheikh yer Bu'Tay ,   Dar al-Harb   (08.10.06)
You ask "What a man?" I would have far more respect for a man who finds a PEACEFUL SOLUTION to this crisis. Ali, I have read many of your postings and see that you are an inteligent man. Why war? Why not peace? Okay, okay, there is more than enough blame to go around for all parties. Each side wants vengence, an eye for an eye, so to speak. I feel it, and want it, too. A greater victory can be found in FORGIVNESS! Please find it in your heart to forgive those who have wronged you. A plan for peace is very possible, if all parties will cooperate. Please be one of the peacemakers.
25. Mike I suggest you hide really well
Nasrollah ,   Lebanon   (08.10.06)
If you reside in North Palastine, then I suggest you commit suicide. If you reside in Haifa then I suggest you start running and if you reside in Tel Aviv, I suggest you hide really well .....FYI Zelzal coming soon......
26. notice mahoul didn't denounce Hiz.
Derek ,   USA   (08.10.06)
Read the article again. Basically he is saying," no we don't wanna have to move." He doesn't want civilians bombed 'in principle' He wasn't denouncing Shiztbullah or Nasrallah. Between the lines it seems Mahoul still on the Arab side in the end. Doesn't sound like"unity" to me
27. HERE IS WHY WE CANNOT TRUST THE U.N.:
"The Good" Ali ,   your friend in Dubai   (08.10.06)
Scroll through this link and see the "great" leader of the U.N. with his terrorist pal. http://forum.giyus.org/smf/index.php?topic=55.msg221#msg221 The U.N. is using TERRORISTS to keep Arabs from advancing. This is why we depend on the West for most technology - we can not even design our own aeroplane. With PEACE we can move a head.
28. There are enough underground parking houses for everyone.
helenecbh@hotmail.co   (08.10.06)
Jews and Arabs, workers, students children, old people, go there and stay there all together! Arabs and Jews have lived together, side by side, in Haifa for many decades. It's a living proof that it works! Don't let Nasrallah or any other extremist scare any of you away!
29. LEBANON PRESIDENT NASRALLAH TELL YOU OUT YOU GO NOW
DARIUS ATHARI ,   BEIT HANOUN   (08.10.06)
30. Haifa's Arabs: We won't leave city
DANIEL ,   Lod   (08.10.06)
They fooled Israeli Arabs in 1948; now they can't.
