1. UNIFIL
Juan ,   Spain   (10.19.09)
Why don't these UNIFIL troops just pack their kit backs and go on home. I've never heard of such a bunch of ineffectual soldiers since time began. Is anyone keeping to Res. 1701? The whole story about the 3 bombs is a lie invented by Hezbollah to try to smoke screen their huge arms caches, - also contrary to Res 1701.
2. watch seniora is mad thats bad news
tea man ,   marjayoun   (10.19.09)
for the entity you better run donot try to hide
3. I imagine the reaction of Israel if Lebanon was doing the sa
George ,   Canada   (10.19.09)
same spy activities inside Israel and detonating explosion. Israel was screaming at the UN and mobilizing 40000 soldiers to teach Lebanon sovereignty lesson. Really feed up with the behavior of this tiny, rude state that acting above the international law and bullying here and there under the American political and military cover up.
4. unifil and club med
ATHOS ,   nice   (10.19.09)
who is paying for the holidays at club med for those so called troops.;UNIFIL or whatever they call themselves.. nice beaches, lebanese food,friends all over the place..Why not sending them to Afghanistan..for a change and some action..
5. Worthless, fake UNIFIL force
Curtis ,   USA   (10.19.09)
If that worthless, fake UNIFIL force had been doing its job in the first place, this problem wouldn't even exist.
6. time to make sure all ...ALL hezbulah and munitions ...
Galut ,   Selah   (10.19.09)
are removed from southern Lebanon... as long as there is a presence hezbulah and munitions... it is within the right of the israeli military to glean information pertanant to its own self defence... UNIFIL has a mandate to see to it that Hezbulah does not violate ! when israel sees progress then it can back off the over flights...
7.  Boomb
Rudy ,   US   (10.19.09)
Lebanese allegations blatant diversionary tactic and attempted cover of true facts . This too will explode in their face
8. So long as UNIFIL, yet another UN Agency, permits Hizballah
Eitan ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (10.19.09)
to use the territory for its next deadly attack on Israel and Israelis at the service of Iran, don't expect ever to find us, Israelis, just sitting there waiting for our slaughter, never again!
9. The hypocricy in this can't even be put into words
Jacob Erickson ,   Holon, Israel   (10.19.09)
I'm speechless.
10. #3 right George. Those arrogant Jews. At least the Hizballah
(10.19.09)
and the Leb government are complying with the UN Resolutions.
11. George #3 re "rude state":
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (10.19.09)
For those of you who don't know Canada and Canadians, Dear George just gave Israel the biggest insult in his vocabulary, calling Israel "rude". In Canada, it's okay to talk behind someone's back and even knife them as long as one is "nice" upfront. People like George don't wish to discuss the constant infringement of the agreement between the two nations as Hezbollah assembles arms at the border right under the noses of UN troops who don't care anyway. Fortunately, George's prime minister, Stephen Harper, walked out on Durban II just after Israel walked out and Mr. Harper (nor the leader of the opposition, Mr. Ignatieff) has no ridiculous sentiment for terrorist groups like Hezbollah and their ilk unlike our friend, George from Canada.
12. #3 George
Cynthia ,   USA   (10.19.09)
This looks like a typical Hizbollah caper. We're looking at two used tires and a ditch. You're ready to jump all over Israel for this? When Israel mobilized in 2006, it's because Israeli soldiers patroling on Israel's side of a peaceful border were ambushed, murdered and two soldiers kidnapped before 4000 katyusha rockets rained down on civilian populations in Israel. The UN is nowhere to be found when something serious happens to Israel.
13. Israel
Juanita ,   spain   (10.19.09)
Maybe if Israel stopped invading/bombing/spying on its neighbors UNIFIL could just go home. But I guess that is too much to ask for a paranoid outcast state.
14. #4 - from what i hear it is coveted duty with benefits
some guy   (10.19.09)
duty with benefits from the local women. they apparently can't resist european soldiers in uniform. no wonder the un troops are biased and want to stay. they spend most of their time with the locals on their backs.
15. Hay ATHOS go to turkey man what are you
tea man ,   marjayoun   (10.19.09)
doing in nice how come some body like you afford living there in turkey they change the towels everyday even when they lose them do not throw the white towel yet and surrender
16. See who's Talking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Asher ,   Ny,USA   (10.19.09)
17. Really?
Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (10.19.09)
How dweadful. How twuly, twuly dweadful. How many UN resolutions has Lebanon violated with respect to allowing Hizbollah to arm; assisting them; and turning a blind eye? I make it about four or five. People in glass houses have no business throwing stones. Especially if there's a chance -- no, a likelihood -- that they will be thrown right back.
18. #3, well if that was ALL Hizbollah were doing
Danny   (10.19.09)
I think Israel would be pretty happy. Wierd that Hizbollah rearming and sticking two fingers up at the Lebanese army ISN'T a violation...
19. Aky did it!
John ,   Boise, Idaho USA   (10.19.09)
It's plain to see that Achmadinejad did it. He crawled the full length of the Iraqi desert in full camouflage living entirely on grashoppers and without water for a full 30 days then hand dug the wires. He then strapped himself to a drone and recently landed at Tehran International Airport. Dream on Fouad
20. The unparalled UN absurdities
DT ,   TA Israel   (10.19.09)
Terrible ! The UN will be recalled , a Resolution passed that Israel must as a result "withdraw from "Israel but first must apologise to Hezbollah, Lebanon and all terrorists on it's borders. The Resolution will also state that Israels actions are a clear violation of all terrorists rights and charters.
21. Disarming Hezbollah was also a resolution
Talula ,   Israel   (10.19.09)
Where's that one gone? And why isn't anyone implementing it?
22. Read Resolution 1701and laugh
The other George ,   Toronto,Canada   (10.19.09)
Go ahead read it on the internet. Like on many other issues Lebanon and Hizballah have been in noncompliance every day since it was passed. For example in Article 8 it "require(s) the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon……other than that of the Lebanese State; Funny how this is never referred to anymore as part of Resolution 1701.
23. Isreali spy device or,
Yoni ,   Sydney   (10.19.09)
24. Going on that picture - where did the "cable" go.
Rebecca ,   Modiin   (10.19.09)
If there were two cables, where did they go? Did they just stop? How wide were the cables? The picture looks more like a grave than an explosion site. Nice straight sides, good width and a dead end. Is this another story like the so-called ambulance attack? And silence on the explosion in a Hesbala home...
25. ISRAEL MAY NEED UN ONE DAY ! ITS BETTER TO LISTEN UN, TODAY.
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (10.19.09)
26. UNIFIL, UNRWA, PIG EXCREMENT, all the same stuff.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (10.19.09)
27. Isrealis detonating spy device or,
Yoni ,   sydney   (10.19.09)
Hezbollah explosive toy misfired? I'd wager the latter.
28. #17 get your head out of the sand
John B. ,   New York, US   (10.19.09)
Are you stupid or playing one? Tell me how many UN resolutions have Israel respected? Tell me which international law is Israel not violating or breaking? Tell me which country is Israel not manipulating? It's easy to point fingers when we don't want to see our ugly selves. Go back and bury your head in the sand. It's safer there.
29. UN created what is Israel, not Haganah, Irgun or Stern
Ann   (10.19.09)
30. #25, Need UN For WHAT?
(10.19.09)
For crucifixon? The UN is anti-Israel. Where have you been? The UN has never and will never do ANYTHING for Israel.
