1. "Stealing?"
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.27.11)
How is it possible for Israel to "steal" that for which it explored, discovered and -- under all recognized precepts of international law -- owns? While Hezbollah was busy with its arms-smuggling enterprise, Israel discovered two of the largest natural gas fields in the world, and undersea petroleum deposits to boot. Too bad for Hezbollah; too bad for Lebanon. You snooze; you lose. Next time, a little less focus on aggression and terrorism and a little more focus on entering the twenty-first century in a meaningful way would serve the Lebanese in far better stead. This time around -- they'll just have to suck up their stupidity and deal with it. Nothing new for them.
2. Hey Tough Guy
LaDuda ,   Canada   (07.27.11)
Come out of your hole and say it to our face.
3. If Hezbollah is so strong?
Lobo ,   USA   (07.27.11)
Why is Nasrallah still in his bunker?
4. You should have finished the job
Marcel ,   Florida   (07.27.11)
Instead of ending Nasrallah's speeches permanently Israel decided to listen to her peace pimp in Washington and retreat the IDF before the job was completed. This height of CRIMINAL stupidity will cost Israel dearly. Why does Israel allow the most despicable,cowardly and corrupt of politicians with no spine to rule ? Barak,Peres and Netanyhau are what is wrong with Israel.
5. Hard to hear him from the depth of a rat hole
Mark C   (07.27.11)
6. Hey Lebtard - where are you?
William ,   Israel   (07.27.11)
Wasn't it the LebaneseCretin who yelled about posters here threatening war with Lebanon over this...and yet here it is, Nasrallah again, on behalf of all Lebanese apparently, threatening war and violence with Israel. BTW - aren't you supposed to actually own something first before claiming it stolen?
7. Nasrallah is judge, jury, and executioner
William ,   Israel   (07.27.11)
Funny, the Lebanese run to the UN and make a complaint. The UN said they'd look into it and start negotiations. Even before the UN got off the phone, the racist Islamist made the preemptive decision that it belongs to Lebanon, case closed. Hmmm, I wonder where else Nasrallah made a prediction that backfired, and he threatened anyone that questioned him..... The Hariri Tribunal, maybe??
8. Guess why Nasrallah is ramping up threats
William ,   Israel   (07.27.11)
because Iran just got involved personally with the signing of the gas exploration deal. Now Iran wants both an excuse to be more heavily involved in Lebanon, including using it as a base to circumvent sanctions, but also to spy on Israel and make some money doing it. Despite the high price of oil, Iran is going broke spending its free cash on the military and supporting Taliban and Hizbullah, while domestically facing gas shortages, high prices, and rising unemployment. The Mullahs need additional cash flow.
9. Wow, Israeli commander took that abuse
William ,   Israel   (07.27.11)
including 4 shots to the chest, but still kept coming back. Hardcore. No wonder you apologized after the 2006 war, Nassie.
10. He pops his head
Russ Cogswell ,   BIDDEFORD POOL Maine   (07.27.11)
The rat pops his head out of the hole again. Such a fool.
11. He has gone past boring- who can take this nut seriously?
John ,   nz   (07.27.11)
12. to nr. 1.
cosmopolitan ,   global-municipality   (07.27.11)
can you convince our world (and me) with real,(impartial) proves , evidence and (eventually) alternatives, options and solutions of which you (already) mentioned in this forum of ynetnews.com and in your eventually, future talkbacks? perhaps (then)everybody/we all can agree with eachother (of a certain problem/issue, as much as possible) and can benefit (of it). of course every country has it"s own national law-system and international law, between states really exists and can be used world-wide, hopely in a fair, honest, just and objective way (for everybody, who is involved). it is not to us to decide which party/side is wrong or right (in this conflict). all the interested, involved parties can go to court (perhaps to a un-court in the hague, the netherlands.) and the independant, impartial judge, with the use of an independant, neutral examination, legal and convincing evidence, after hearing both sides, the lawyer, the public prosecutor, will pronounce the verdict and this will be written down and will be documented (by [international] law).
13. SOMEONE TAKE THIS CHAZER DOWN ALREADY!
MEBSIORG ,   USA   (07.27.11)
A complete macher! Steals from his own, lives like a rat in a sewer and spews his silly garbage like a whining baby...and THREATS? Hmmm....let's see how the US's Med Fleet feels about this little turds ranting...SHOULD they turn to action. Coward nasrallah!
14. stronger than ever
Aroe ,   BaGolan   (07.27.11)
That exlains why the roach hasn't squirmed out of his hole in 5 years.
15. To Mr's Sarah B
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (07.27.11)
Dear Mr's Sarah B. Your comment is good. As a Brazilian Christian, with Lebanese ascendence, I do regret that the Cedar's country is dominated by fundamentalist and hateful "Shias", under Iranian command. I think Israel has to defend herself against any agression from those bad folks. But about the water's borders, the juridic solution resides on looking where the maritime frontier was drawn before 1948, among old British Palestinian Mandate and old French Lebanese Protectorate. If it is impossible, International rules must be verified. I am sure Israel will do it before any military act. I salute you.
16. The only thing Nasrallah will accomplish
Stephen in New York   (07.27.11)
159 Shitte towns and villages south of the Litani now serve as missile launching bases for Hezbollah. These towns and villages will suffer serious damage in the next round and many innocents will be hurt. The only thing Nasrallah will accomplish will be to end the Shitte presence south of the Litani.
17. The Tamar and Leviathan fields when shared in peace ...
Michael ,   California, USA   (07.27.11)
Hey guys, stop arguing like little children. Make peace instead. There is enough gas there for everybody. Only attorneys get fat from disputes and we all hate them.
18. Nasrallah
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (07.27.11)
Please finish your speech that you will not anticipate the mighty army against you and you will send Sinora to cry in the UN to stop the IDF victory so you can speak again. By the way how is life underground?
19. No 1
Robert ,   Brisbane, Australia   (07.27.11)
If Israel discovered oil and gas deposits and if they are in another's territorial waters if it takes them, it is stealing. International law however, is something with which Israel has a problem. I'm sure there's a bundle of oil in the Persian Gulf just off Iran, why don't you go and get it?
20. DOES THIS BEAST SPEAK FOR all of LEBANON NOW?
Holy mackerel ,   Atlanta USA   (07.27.11)
WHO PUT THIS PUTZ IN FRONT OF A MICROPHONE? How come he crawled out of his spider hole to murmur his dribble? did someone flush too many times?
21. Threats, always with the flippin' threats
Cameron ,   USA   (07.27.11)
No wonder I usually swing with the Israelis when types like this finally force their hand. So weary of that batty, feudal culture.
22. Like any fomaing-at-the-mouth lapdog...
Scott ,   USA   (07.27.11)
All yap and no bite.
23. Nasrallah
Alejandro ,   Santo Domingo, D.R.   (07.27.11)
Like all anti Zionists, he is a liar and a racist.
24. desperately seeking relevance
tom ,   toronto, canada   (07.27.11)
despite ap's sycophantic excuse for journalism, nasrallah is still making his speeches from the safety of his bunker, and 5 years after his great "victory", he has replaced the majority of his fighters that were wiped out, almost regained the power that he lost in the lebanese government, and cannot retake his "fiefdom" south of the litani river. now that he is hated by most lebanese, he is desperately seeking relevance in the face of the imminent loss of his friend and patron in syria, and the results of the un inquiry that will place the blame squarely on hezbollah for the hariri assassination. it's time for him to pick a "patriotic" fight with israel, and get a few thousand more lebanese bystanders killed. it's too bad ap has to kow-tow to hezbollah, for fear of reprisals against their reporters.
25. #4, Unfotunately reality is not that simple
Zoe ,   Los Angeles, CA   (07.27.11)
Israel depends on US financialy and politically, and sometimes the corrupt oil thirsty Washington and liberal Israelis push Israel to give in to the world's pressure. Funny thing is, the more Israel gives in, the more Arabs want.
26. Please...
musicwriter ,   USA   (07.27.11)
Please... Nastyahooty actually thinks Hezfullabullah is a threat to Israel? The first "attack" on an Israeli drilling site would mark the beginning of the end of Lebanon. Netanyahu won't stop because the UN says to, like Olmert did... Hezbullah property will be about six miles deep in bomb craters...
27. Just try it, Nasrallah.
Vlad   (07.27.11)
If you so much as tap Israel again, the response will make 2006 look like Lebanon got off lucky.
28. Does he want the UN to search Lebanon under 2701 and find
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (07.27.11)
all his missiles Israel will have to destroy with nukes in the next war?
29. Hezbollah
Emily ,   USA   (07.27.11)
Hezbollah needs to be wiped off the map. End of story, along with that funny looking pig faces in Iran.
30. Nasrallah and his big talk
Brod ,   USA   (07.27.11)
It looks like Nasrallah likes to see his 72 virgins. He may need some chemical help to perform.
