1. Arming Hezbollah is...
Persian CAT   (10.26.10)
as ligit as giving arms to Israel by its sugar daddy, to the chagrin of the increasingly impoverished US tax payrs. The difference is Hezbollah needs those arms to defend itself against the Zionist Apartheid regime who has invaded Lebanon several times. Hezbollah has not set foot on Israeli soil once, while Israel's criminal record against Lebanon is just the opposite.
2. BOMB, BOMB, BOMB - the mad mullahs into the 7th century.
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (10.26.10)
stop this madness by destroying the roots. If the world wants peace in the M.E. Iran must be neutralised, it's really that simple. Does mr hussian obama want the mad iranian despots to obtain a bomb?!
3. Good Intel! Hope it means we are getting closer....
(10.26.10)
to solving the Hizballah issue! Go IDF! Go!

David ,   Haifa, Israel   (10.26.10)
I would respond bu instead I will laugh at you.... you are an imbecil.
5. Well..
John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (10.26.10)
I guess and I hope that Iran will also help in collecting the required 720,000 virgins for the brave fighters...
6. ARMS ALONE CANNOT AND DO NOT WIN WARS
stude ham   (10.26.10)
they're ok to use against unarmed opponents like the former lebanese people in hezbolland. but the arms, as has been proved over and over again by the criminal arab wars against israel, are no match against more skilful armies. hezbollah is just wasting and throwing away money.
7. Blind and deaf Persian cat
Arul   (10.26.10)
What started the 2nd lebanon war, if it was not because of the invasion and brutal murder of Israelis by the Hisbullah ?
8. Israel, LISTEN
maronite ,   toronto-canada   (10.26.10)
If Hezbollah is disarmed and Israel re-occupies South Lebanon, then Hezbollah will only have suicide belts to blow themselves up in a desperate effort to remove the occupier. Israel, LISTEN, whether Hezbollah has missiles or not, no one will accept to live under occupation or the threat of occupation or the constant state of war that you impose on the entire Middle East.
9. John @ 5, I do not think it should be a problem.
leo ,   usa   (10.26.10)
If those guys will improvise they will discover that most of them are virgins. They'll just have to cooperate.
10. @ Persian Cat
Sheik Rattle & Roll ,   USA   (10.26.10)
You say that Hezbollah has not stepped once into Israeli territory. If that is the case you are misinformed. What started the 2006 war you idiot? The bottom line Iran is biting off more than it can chew. It talks a big game but if war came between the US-Israel vs Iran-Hezbollah & Syria I can assure you the destruction to Iran-Syria-Lebanon might be total. Iran might strike a ship or 2 or better yet send a "virgin collector" to the US but other than that Iran's Navy, Air force & Army will cease to function.

jim ,   chicago   (10.26.10)
GO IFD! GO! Go were exactly, why you think you will have better lack then last time!!!!
12. Maronite @ 8, listen. Israel didn't started a single war yet
leo ,   usa   (10.26.10)
13. Hezbollah arms no match for real deterance
shlomo ,   USA   (10.26.10)
Lebanon has become a terrorist nation and there are no civilians living there, only terrorists and their supporters. Therefore in a war provoked by Hezbollah, total destruction of Lebanon is warranted. The same applies to Syria if it gets involved. The prime responsibility of the IDF is to destroy the enemy and by doing so protect Israel.
14. Wow....Reassuring news :)
Salma ,   Palestine   (10.26.10)
15. TO 2
JIM ,   CHICAGO   (10.26.10)
The world wants peace in the M.E. Okay, at the same keep the occupation going and deny people basic right and even the right to exist. What peace?
16. to #1 unless there is hizb state this org
ghostq   (10.26.10)
by UN definition, is terror org that also responsible for death of other arabs. not my idea on facts basis purely.
17. #1 - "Hiz needs these arms to defend against Israel"
William ,   Israel   (10.26.10)
If that's true, why has the last 10 years of altercations between the 2 countries ALWAYS began with Hizbullah unilateral action? Whether its a kidnapping, firing rockets on civilians, or setting bombs INSIDE of Israel, Hizbullah always made the first move. That's not exactly the definition of "defending one's self". But then again, your ilk label killing civilians, especially pregnant ones, at point blank range as "self defense".
18. #1 - Hizbullah built bunkers INSIDE of Israel
William ,   Israel   (10.26.10)
in order to launch the attack the precipitated the 2nd Lebanon War. Their captured operatives admitted to it and we found them already. Hizbullah boasts that they are tunneling into Israel again. Hizbullah often crosses into Israel to lay bombs or kidnap people. You are entitled to your own opinions, but not your own "facts".
19. hiz-bull-ah is engineering the nuclear distruction of
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (10.26.10)
lebanon, iran, syria and if they are not careful turkey. Sure, back Israel into a corner, start a war and see if the terrorist scum come out alive. Sad as it may be, there will come one nuclear war. It will destroy the will of the arabs to ever slaughter Jews again.
20. you would've thought....
jonathan ,   London/ Israel   (10.26.10)
... that with all the smuggling, they could have smuggled in some new clothes for Hassan. He really is a smelly bag - don't you think Salma?
21. #11 go ask our security forces about their luck w/Muynieh!
(10.26.10)
22. #8 - isn't that the situation Israel lives in?
William ,   Israel   (10.26.10)
Under constant threat by its neighbors, including Lebanon, for over 62 years? Wasn't it Lebanon who, without any threat from Israel or any IDF soldiers inside Lebanon, allow the PLO to not only live inside its borders but to launch war crimes from YOUR territory against Israeli civilians? You're lucky Israel only occupied part of S. Lebanon, as a security buffer which is 100% allowable under Intl Law, rather than just flatten Beirut in disgust of your racist intentions. Both Jordan and Egypt are proof - if you leave Israel alone, Israel will leave you alone.
23. Lebanon ready for explosion...
Mikha ,   Msa,Kenya   (10.26.10)
Just like the proverbial octopus which put fuel on itself, so it is with the suicidal shiite murderers.Syrians have their proxy while playing the lebanese leaders like marionetes.No wonder most lebanese leaders end up blown to pieces-since the civil war, its the same pattern under Syria's tutelage-now they have turned the land of the Phoenicians into a powder keg.What lebanon needs is to come to terms with their ghosts of the past not Iran,Syrian or Turkish hegemony.ISRAEL IS HERE TO STAY AND WILL NEVER EVAPORATE AS THE WICKED PLOT.
24. How long until Arabs threaten La Figaro?
William ,   Israel   (10.26.10)
Whenever a news agency reveals the "secrets" of Arab terrorists, they suddenly become a target. Arafat did this when RAI reported on the lynching of 2 reserve IDF soldiers, when he stated he cannot "guarantee their safety in the region any longer". The result? The reporter from RAI begged Arafat for forgiveness, and stated he was on the side of the PLO's "resistance".
25. Both depot and escape tunnels make Syria a target
William ,   Israel   (10.26.10)
Since Syria is directly involved in illegally arming a terrorist organization, in violation of UN resolutions, Intl Law, and human rights, Damascus MUST be a target in the next war. That means two sorties take off from Israel, one to destroy S. Lebanon and S. Beirut, and the other to flatten Assad's palaces and Damascus. According to Geneva Convention, all perfectly legal targets.
26. #21
jim ,   chicago   (10.26.10)
from #11. I was talking about last time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
27. #8 - notice the part about escape tunnels into Syria
William ,   Israel   (10.26.10)
In other words, Hizbullah is willing to place their arms inside Lebanese civilian areas, launch a war, and run away to the neighboring State allowing YOU to take the response. Doesn't sound like their acting in anyone's interest except their own, to the last Lebanese standing. Question is - why do you put up with it?
28. UN1701 says it clearly: Hizb is not allowed to arm itself.
Bat Zion ,   Centre, Israel   (10.26.10)
p8: "no sales or supply of arms and related materiel to Lebanon except as authorized by its Government" Funny people, the Lebanese. You are under the thumbs of both Iran and Syria, Islam has occupied your once half-Chrisian country, turning it from Switzerland of the Middle-East into shambles, yet whom you fear is Israel. Poor sods.
29. #8 You are a disgrace for Maronites
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (10.26.10)
So much rubbish in one post... - But if Hizbullah is disarmed by the UN or whoever, and therefore poses no threat to northern Israeli towns, then what interest would Israel have to re-occupy South Lebanon? So, you mean to tell me that as a Maronite, you suffered more when Israel occupied south Lebanon, than under Hizbullah's terrorist tyranny? That is absolute baloney. Just ask Brigitte Gabriel or any other normal Maronite who had lived under the Shiite reign-of-terror. But then again, it's not too hard to discount such horrific experience, when you type from the comforts of Toronto. You mean, the war we "imposed" on the Arabs in 1948, when they vowed to "drive the Jews into the sea"? Or the war we "imposed" on Egypt, Syria and Jordan who were all set to invade and annihilate us in 1967? Or the war we "imposed" on Egypt when they attacked us in 1973? Or the scud missiles we "imposed" Sadam to fire at us in 1991? Or the two wars we "imposed" on Lebanon after constant shooting barrages at our towns in 1982, and Hizbullah's abduction of our soldiers in 2006? Unlike Brigitte Gabriel who is a real Maronite Lebanese patriot, you are nothing but a badly misinformed, brainwashed defeatist.
30. Is a war possible in November 2010 RIGHT ???
M.S. ,   mpls america   (10.27.10)
I realize that the French love to tell storys and so document world wide terrorism if indeed 2006 was a mere test of Hezbollah capabilitys we may yet see another war between Hezbollah and so Israel and so who knows Syria may join in then it would be a real war any body want to bet November 2010 good luck to both sides I have no preference any more RIGHT ??? Thank You... M. S.
