1. General precautions?
AJ - Raalte   (01.22.10)
Probably means: taking off their uniforms and blending into the civilian population!
2. Rumour spread by Turkey.
JO   (01.22.10)
and has no basis at all. The border is quiet and there is no special anything going on , just the regular stuff. Turkey is responsible for this stupidity. Hezbo needs no excuse for such rubbish- it needs it to exist, Israel and her "threat" is their reason to exist as they do. So periodic threats from nowwhere appear to remind the people that they are necessary. On the Israeli side, nothing. all is normal and quiet. Routine. All Israel wants is a quiet border with no rockets throw across it's border, no murdering and kidnapping of soldiers - which Hezbo did before. Here's to peace and respect and tolerance and love, and a quiet border which is in the interest of all- that we all prosper in life and that our children know joy and peace and good lives. Turkey has to answer for such a stupid rumour started.
3. When time comes, how will you counter carpet bombing?
(01.22.10)
When oil runs out and BBC/CNN/Sky stop receiving petrodollars, who will protect your lazy and violent way of life?

Sean ,   Montreal, Quebec   (01.22.10)
I don't know about your accusations against Turkey, but in regard to the rest of your post, I wish that you may have all that you hope for.
5. this can only mean one thing
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (01.22.10)
if hizbullah is preparing for an israeli attack, then it means that hizbullah is going to commit terror and attack israel in some way which results in israel responding. if there is anything lebanon should worry about, it is the terrorists which harbor within its own borders.
6. SURE THING -
Arn-Orao. ,   Sweden-Srbia.   (01.22.10)
WAR IS APPROACHING !!!. Report: Hezbollah on high alert for fear of Israeli attack London-based al-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper says Shiite organization has instructed its men to take 'general precautions', Syria recruiting reserve soldiers residing in Lebanon BEVERE OF AN, MILITARY SYRIAN SURPRISE STRIKE. Arn-Orao.
7. To the pathetic dreamer @ #2 . JO
Sami ,   Lebanon   (01.22.10)
What prosperity you are talking about when in your country there is a half million Palestinian refugees ,Israel is refusing to take them back to their homeland and saying they are your problem deal with it !!
8. Even Barak is not so cynical
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (01.22.10)
It makes sense. Ehud Barak starts a war so he can draft the combat soldiers. While the soldiers are on the front line, he sends his YSM stormtroopers to evict the soldiers' wives and children from their homes and uproot their fields. The logic of it would suit Ehud Barak, but I doubt even he would be so cynical.
9. to#7 lebanese/syrian
Marcelo ,   Frankfurt   (01.22.10)
the home land of the so-self invented palestinean is jordan, syria, lebano and egypt. Do not confus it with your viseral jew-hate TV from hizballah. BTW, it must for you to be nice to be part of syria again, isn't?
10. Possible
Sam ,   AMS   (01.22.10)
Looking back, one would conclude that this is not new to Israel as it has done this in the past several times
11. UN doing a great job
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.22.10)
Why should anyone worry ,the UN has halted all weapons coming to Hizbollah from Syria and Iran. The UN has done a superb job as to it's mandate. Nothing to worry about .Peace in our time -Neville Chamberlain
12. trade between Hezbollah arms and Palestinian refugees?
Lebanese ,   Paris   (01.22.10)
An open question for israelis : what if you can trade in a peace agreement with lebanon Hezb arms vs the right for palestinians to come back to the future state of palestine? what do you see more dangerous for you : palestinians going back to their contry? or Hezb threat?
13. israel is commiting suiside
masjnoe   (01.22.10)
israel has to learn not to threaten and penetrate others countries air space. israel is committing suiside .
14. #13
X'   (01.22.10)
Look at the tea pot calling the kettle black. You have an Islamonazi state within a state holding the average Lebanese citizen hostage, bombings, fighting in Palestinian camps, and the terrorist state Syria controlling the reigns of power. If you ask me, Lebanon has already commited suicide. Any atack on Israel will result in the oblteration of your country. Wake up and smell the coffee you moron.
15. talk to many Palestinians first
Pathetic Dreamer   (01.22.10)
in Israel and the West Bank. It is not is all as bad as it seems. refugee camps in Israel are stone houses, towns not really camps, with solar heating, electricity, satelite tv and indoor plumping. There is no fighting for clean water or one bowl of rice a day or living in tin huts. There is also many prosperous Palestinians. Poverty too yes, Israelis have that too, what country does not? For some it is deserved, if you have ten children and three wives and work as a laborer or not at all you would be poor in any country. Palestinians and Israelis have far more in common and will live together. Israel also has over one million Arab Palestinian citizens. Life is good here for both peoples. Tell me - has Lebanon has been so good for it's refugees? I dont think so. Do they their children have good education, schools, full medical, welfare, or allowed Lebanese citizenship if they wanted. No. Of all Arab groups Palestinians are the one of the most highly educated and industrious groups. Please complain about Lebanon- your fellow Arab brothers please, what have they done to help over the years? no country is perfect. but Israeli Jews and Arab Palestinian get on better than most - minus the radical religion that just kills.
16. High Alert!
David ,   USA, exile   (01.22.10)
Orders have come down from Nazireally! "Every terrorist must grab an old lady with a large burka to hide behind. Grab two little children and put one on each side, and yes, one for for he back. Notify the UN, the mean old Joooooos are at it again. They dare to train their troops. Why would they need to do that? The whole world loves them so much.
17. Israel he he he
Salah Bytar ,   Beirut Lebanon   (01.22.10)
We are only waiting for one mistake from you. We cant wait till we meet again.
18. hizbollah on high alert
gaynor ,   israel   (01.22.10)
don't any of you read the news? israel informed the lebanese gvnmnt they were conducting routine maneuvers on the border - hizbollah is full of hot air, nothing out of the ordinary going on
19. Hezbollah and Leb. on alert
DT ,   TA Israel   (01.22.10)
Well they have nothing else to do .
20. The rhetorical tactic of Nasrallah.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (01.22.10)
Nasrallah has one rhetorical tactic that he deploys every time Hezbollah experiences internal pressure in Lebanon: he accuses his opponents of working for the CIA, the Mossad, the Jews, or the Americans. For Nasrallah “there is an American plan that we are fighting against. This is the nature of the crisis.” And: “This struggle is between an honorable resistance, which is endorsed by Arabs and Muslims, and the United States and its allies.” More about the “honorable resistance” at : http://xrl.us/oowhv
21. Hezbullah on alert...
Bruria   (01.22.10)
This is the PR they use so they can launch their attack on Israel. While our people are in Haiti helping the suffering they are planning another war. Welcome to my world...
22. Next War, Last War, End of Israel
Paco ,   Canada   (01.22.10)
Israeli aircraft violated the Lebanese airspace 25 times in one single day last week. It is a necessity for Lebanon to end the daily Israeli violations of this resolution (United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701), the escalation of the Israeli threats against Lebanon and its government. The Operation "Next War, Last War" will bring the End of Israel
23. #12, i don't remember anyone saying
Danny   (01.22.10)
Palestinians can't go back to a future state of ***Palestine*** ie the arab part of a two state solution. The issue is that is apparently not acceptable to Arabs. Honest question to you, do you see Hizbollah EVER voluntarily giving up their arms?
24. #17, yeah thats why the border has been silent for 4 years
Danny   (01.22.10)
25. #22
(01.22.10)
israel violated resolution 1701???? what do you call ban ki moon chastising and condemning hizbullah for importing weapons and increasing its weaponry on the border??? THIS IS ILLEGAL ACCORDING TO RESOLUTION 1701. HIZBULLAH IMPIRTING WEAPONS AND GOING SOUTH OF THE LITANI IS A VIOLATION OF RESOLUTION 1701! HIZBULLAH SETTING TERROR CELLS AND INFILTRATING INNOCENT LEBANESE VILLAGES TO PUT THEIR AMMUNITIONS IN INNOCENT PEOPLE HOMES IS A VIOLATION OF RESOLUTION 1701!!! THE UN PEACE KEEPING FORCES HAVE BLAMED HIZBULLAH, TOGETHER WITH THE UN EDICT THAT THE HIZBULLAH IS VIOLATING RESOLUTION 1701 ALL DURING 2008, 2009 AND INTO 2010. IT IS NOT ISRAEL, IT IS HIZBULLAH THAT WAS BLAMED BY THE UN TO REPEATEDLY VIOLATE RESOLUTION 1701!!!!! hameed aboughaze, iranian
26. #22 - Back Here in Reality
California Bear ,   Berkeley, CA   (01.22.10)
LOL. "The end of Israel." Let's repeat this story for you people that just don't get it. If Lebanon stupidly allows it's para-military terrorists organization to attack Israel, Lebanon will face even more destruction than was heaped upon it in 2006. Remember, it was Nasrallah who said himself, that had he known the Israeli response to his attack in an effort free Samir Qantar, he would have never ordered it. Sure Quntar is free, but at what price: thousands of Lebanese dead and billions of dollars in infrastructural damage. I guess that's what you and Hezbollah call "The Divine Victory". If that lunatic organization begins launching rockets indiscriminately again at Israeli civilian population centers then I agree with Nasrallah that the balance in the region will be changed. Unfortunately, for him that change will be the absolute annihilation of the Lebanese Armed Forces, Lebanon's infrastructure and governmental institutions, and should Syria attempt to intervene, massive destruction for that country as well. Is it really worth it? The problem is that your asinine opinion like yours, i.e. "that the destruction of Israel will be achieved militarily" predominates in that region. My only regret is that many IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians will perish while crushing Israel's adversaries.
27. Two most hated-USA/Israel
JOJO ,   Toronto Canada   (01.22.10)
USA and Israel pick on weak countries. Hoefull they make one mistake--pick a war with Iran and see what mess Israel will be. Israelies are stupid in many ways,one of them--they cann'y get along.
28. # 12
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.22.10)
The french wine you are drinking has made you delusional. Hizbullah will NEVER give up their arms & armed struggle.
29. # 22
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.22.10)
In your dreams, maybe.
30. seriously
rebecca ,   usa   (01.22.10)
you're kidding, right? grow up and realize that people like you are the reason why the world is how it is. get a life and open your eyes- we're all the same. and anyway, one more "mistake???" heaven forbid if there was a conflict between israel and lebanon i think it's pretty clear who would win.
