31. Siniora "Moderate arab leader"
Dhimmi Jew ,   Eurabia   (08.09.08)
Lebanon is an enemy. The country without spine, brain and vision. Hisballastan should be demolished.
32. Immature Israeli leadership!
Dave ,   CA, USA   (08.09.08)
You occupy parts of Lebanon, you repeatedly violate Lebanese airspace and territorial waters, you commit crimes against humanity in Lebanon and Palestine over and over again, so what do you expect? Its immature Israeli leadership thats behind the strength of Hezbollah? If I were a Lebanese, it would be hard for me not to support Hezbollah. If Israeli leadership had half the wisdom that Hezbollah leadership has, the U.S would not be the only super power on earth today!
33. Want to disarm Hezbollah?
Bandar ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (08.09.08)
There is one and only one way to disarm Hezbollah. 1) Return the Shebaa farms. 2) Return the hills of Kfarshooba 3) Stop daily incursions into Lebanese airspace and territorial waters. 4) Give the Palestinians refugees living in Lebanon the right to return to their homes. If you fail to grant these 4 conditions peacefully, then every single Lebanese will become a Hezbollah and we will achieve our goals the Hezbollah way. I expect my post to be censored but what the heck!
34. Who should Israel cede the Shebaa farms to?
Bandar ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (08.09.08)
You mention that the ownership of the Shebaa farms is not clear. One thing is clear and that is the Shebaa farms do not belong to Israel. If Lebanon is claiming those farms and Syria is not, then Israel should give back the farms to Lebanon.
35. BANDAR, VICTORY MEANS LAND.
Petra ,   USA   (08.09.08)
THE ARABS CAN'T FIGHT THEIR WAY OUT OF THE TOILET. THE NATIONS WHO DO FIGHT AND WIN ,OWN THE LAND. THAT SIMPLE, AND ALWAYS A TRUTH. P.S THE ARAB NATIONS ARE A NEW 'CREATION' GIVEN TO THEM BY THE UN. THEY DIDN' T FIGHT FOR IT, IT WAS GIVEN TO THEM.
36. Bibi who?
Bandar ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (08.09.08)
Yeah right, bring him on! It seems that your testesterone is going to lead you to disaster.
37. reply to post #6
bandar ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (08.09.08)
Easier said than done pal. Hezbollah today is a far superior one from the Hezbollah that humiliated the IDF in 2006. Hezbollah's only weakness in 2006 was its anti aircraft defenses. This problem has been remedied and its missile power has increased to more than three times its capabilities in 2006 and still counting. Your only salvation is by returning the Shebaa farms and the hills of Kfarshooba. Your only salvation is by ending your daily incursions into Lebanese airspace and territorial waters. Your only salvation is by granting the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon the right of return to their homes in Palestine.
38. We'll keep the highway ...thanks!
Ari ,   Jerusalem   (08.09.08)
Its a classical attacks and attack backs between Jews and Arabs, the issue is both play "its our way or the highway" and at the end neither will win and we all will staying cruising in the highway!
39. Bandar #34: Lebanon belongs to Israel
Steve ,   Fla.   (08.09.08)
On that day, God made a covenant with Abram, saying: "To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt as far as the great river the Euphrates. The land of the Kenites, Kenizites, Kadmonites; the Hittites, Perizzites, Refaim; the Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Yevusites." Israel comprises all of modern-day Israel, the Palestinian Territories, and Lebanon, as well as large parts of Syria, Jordan, and Egypt; parts of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. This means you are an illegal squatter on Jewish land. We look forward to the day illegal squatters are evicted.
40. #7 Odin: I agree with #28 Giuseppe , Italy - You are wrong.
Australian Guy ,   Sunshine Coast   (08.09.08)
Giuseppe said it all, but I will add - Your kind , so quick to point out the faults in others, especially Israel - conveniently overlook the disgusting and barbaric behaviour that occurs on a regular basis from those who you defend. It certainly seems attacks on Jews and Israeli civilians just don't rate and if ever brought to attention - fobbed off and excused as a result of "the Occupation". Although far from perfect, Israel deserves to be supported, her enemies - the very kind that celebrate when Jews or Israelis are murdered - behave despicably and not serious about any kind of peace when they don't even recognise Israel as an entity. Thankfully, the world is not yet dominated by people who think like you.
41. Sheeba Farm - Just a pretext
s ,   Tel Aviv   (08.09.08)
So, let's say that we will return it, do you really believe that we will live in peace. The 2.5 km is is not what is on their agenda. Talking about incursions, how about the Hiz incursions? How about the kidnappings? How about the years of taunting and rockets falling in the north of Israel? Talking about violations, I think that Lebanon has done all the possible sovereign violations in the world. But to them, it is not a violation since Israel does not have the right to exist and Lebanon and all the other countries will find all the pretexts in the world to achieve that, including using whining persecution on their end. The question is "who is persecuting who?".
42. Are you serious
David Sousa ,   Lisbon Portugal   (08.09.08)
According to your standards Israel shouldn't exist as well. Honestly i'm thinking we should take over Lebannon and create a jewish/christian/sunni government there. And it's best if we expell the xiites back to Iran. How did things come to this? How did we let these Hizbullah scumbags take over Lebannon?
43. BAndar, Sionara is a traitor to the Lebanese!
Hayyy ,   Israel   (08.09.08)
But morons like you would rather have Iran/Syria controlling your country which will lead to its devastation. You are obviously a traitor to the Lebanese too! You know the Shebba farms are not Lebanese, but you continue with these lies. You know Israel is not occupying one inch of Lebanese land but you continue the lies. Israeli fly overs are only done to keep an eye on Hezbollah, not Lebanon.....is these Iranian/Syrian proxies were not there, no fly overs would be necessary. Regarding the Palastinian refugees, isnt Lebanon part of Palastine too???? SO why dont you integrate these Palastinians instead of putting them in camps and blaming Israel? Siniora is a traitor to the Lebanese and you support that! What a fool for allowing Syria and Iran to steal your land and drag you into more war! If your government had half a brain, they would ask Israel to help them kick out all the Syrian/Iranian proxies(Hezbollah), and open its borders up. Israel and Lebanon could be great friends without the Shiite domination. Last war Israel only used 5% of its firepower.....what do you think will happen to Lebanon if they use 20%? Any fool can realize what the outcome would be!
44. Seniora has just capitulated...
Bengurion   (08.09.08)
45. What the hell is he talking about?
Maks ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.09.08)
Which occupied terrority? According to every serious source Israel does not occupy a single square inch of Lebanese soil.
46. pitty
to israel backers ,   finkelstein   (08.09.08)
idf with 75 000 soldiers could not defeat 1500 lebanese fighters. there is nothing u could do u have not learned .israel is not the only country with wmd. wake up and smell the coffee
47. Nasralla has Siniora by the - - - -s. Lets face it.
(08.09.08)
48. reply to post # 43
Bandar ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (08.09.08)
Try to act civilized by not resorting to name calling even though you might not know the meaning of the word. According to you, any fool can realize the outcome of using 20% instead of 5% of Israel's fire power, how come Olmert failed to realize that? Stop deceiving yourselves. Hezbollah is there to stay, and if some one used only 5% of its firepower, its Hezbollah. Just talk to your soldiers that are getting psychological treatments all over Israel. Just talk to your brothers and sisters who are unfortunate enough to be living on the northern border. Have you stopped to ask yourself why is there such a panic attack all across the north of Palestine when some one plants a Hezbollah flag on the border fence. Our blood and souls belong to Hassan Nassrallah and we will gladly redeem them on demand. If and when a plane is shot over Lebanon and the pilot is unfortunate enough to be caught alive, he will be put on trial for crimes against humanity, keep on flying over Lebanon and we will make you pay.
49. reply to # 39
Bandar ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (08.09.08)
Keep deceiving youself with your fake Abra Ka Dabra history. If Lebanon belongs to medern day Israel, how come your courageous IDF withdrew from Lebanon when they had all of south Lebanon and Beirut? I will tell you why, its because they were chased away with their tails between their legs. They had signs on tanks, saying dont shoot we are leaving! You aint seen nothing yet. By the time Hezbollah is finished with you, you will be begging for peace. You only understand the language of force.
50. #49 BANDAR: YOU ARE SOMETHING ELSE
DOOMHAM ,   EFFING, PARASITE-UK   (08.10.08)
I read your posts. Yes, you might have a point; that many Israelis and Jews will die soon because of the looming conflict that is about to occur. That is where you grip on reality ends. In any full on war with Israel your country - Lebanon will be smashed - thousands of your countrymen dead and homeless. Its as simple as that. I suppose that vision isn't part of any post-war situation you had in mind? Idiot.
51. Positive Development
Alex ,   Toronto,Canada   (08.09.08)
Come next war, Lebanese government won't be able to say that they have nothing to do with what's going on between Israel and Hisbollah.
52. One thing is clear from your post, it is NOT Israeli Land
Johan Odin ,   Oslo, Norway   (08.09.08)
Obviously from your own post, it does not matter if it is Syrian or Lebanese land, it is certainly not part of Israel, so Israel should end the occupation and let the Syrians and Lebanese work it out, for as long as Isarel is occupying the Sheeba farms or other areas of Lebanon it only enpowers Hezbollah.
53. #37 Bandar in Beirut
Cynthia ,   USA   (08.09.08)
Today you have just four conditions. Tomorrow you will have yet another four. Hizbullah attacked Israel for none of these reasons. Your threats are empty and your problems are internal. Hizbullah's attack on Israel cost Lebanon 5.6 billion in damages, the lives of 1200 Lebanese and left 4000 Lebanese disabled. Do you consider this a great accomplishment? I'm told Lebanon was once a beautiful country. Puppets like Sinoria with Hizbullah occupiers have destroyed Lebanon.
54. Hayyy: #43
Steve ,   Fla.   (08.09.08)
You wrote: "If your government had half a brain, they would ask Israel to help them kick out all the Syrian/Iranian proxies(Hezbollah), and open its borders up." You should know, our friends in Lebanaon, especially Lebanese Christians, have learned the hard lesson that Israel is a fair-weathered friend. Look what Ehud Barak did. He abandoned our SLA Chistian friends in S. Lebanon. So did Begin abandon our Christian friends. So has every other prime mininster in Israel. Why should any of our freinds look to Israel to kick out the Syrian / Iranian proxies when Israel worships at the altar of the United States of America? When Israelis and Jews worship this criminal in the White House; Geroge W. Bush?
55. to Bandar
Lucius   (08.09.08)
If their is a reason why your economy is a joke, and your country run by morons, it is undoubtably because folk like you actually believe your own drivel. keep it up, and enjoy the descent into third world status. we enjoy watching it.
56. Sounds like he's having a "Siniora moment"...
shmulke ,   w coast, USA   (08.10.08)
57. #49 bandar
Destiny Comes.... ,   Gainesville U.S.A.   (08.09.08)
Bandar, you and anyone else who think that Israel will one day begone from the planet, do a little study on the history of Israel, and read up on Bible prophecy. Israel has been attacked many times by those who wish to take away land which belongs to them, but all have failed. Not by the word of man, but by the word of God, Israel and all surrounding land Belongs to the Jewish People.Watch and see prophecy being fullfilled, when Israel is Attacked by any one of the armies which now surround her, The God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob will rise to destroy any and all who rise against His Country, and His People....Destiny Comes....
58. Lebanon
Duncan ,   US   (08.09.08)
ok, the Lebanese government should now understand that when Hizbulllah attacks, it will be regarded as an act of war. Israel has had time to prepare and the mistakes of the last war won't be repeated. Understand that Israel wants a rematch.
59. Youpee Tsipi Livni !!
M ,   Jerusalem   (08.10.08)
After the crazy UN resolution 1704, an other success of "our" Foreign ministress !!!
60. BAndar
Jayyy ,   Israel   (08.09.08)
Your babbling makes no sense. You are obviously not Lebanese. More than likely an occupying Shiite from Syria. You must of agreed to most of what i said though, because you made no points to contest it. Hezbollah used its full force last war......Israel used only 5%. Is it that hard for your brainwashed mind to understand that Israel held back. We had Hezbollah surounded after we reached the Litani. If it wasnt for Sinioras crying on TV, and the intervention of the UN, EU and Condi Rice, Hezbollah would of been finished. Everyone knows that except you! Which imaginary people chased Israel away. HAhahahahaha Your brave leader Nassaralah is still hiding in a hole! Boy are you delusional and obviously dont care about Lebanon, just Hezbollahs evil plans. Next war, we wont have the weak inept Olmert and Livni holding Israel back!.......Bibi wont will use full force and the disease called Hezbollah will be wiped out of Lebanon. The Lebanese can thank us later! I for one know alot that will.
