muhammad shurafa ,   detroit, michigan   (08.08.06)
You make a lot more sense than anything Iread on this site from Israeli readers. You rule.
4. So proud of you Shakira
Akram ,   Paris - France   (08.08.06)
As a Human Being first and a Lebanese second, I want to say: I ADORE YOU SHAKIRA. i AM SO PROUD OF YOU. Long live LEBANON. Long live JUSTICE...
5. You suck.
shmulik   (08.08.06)
that is all.
6. Break your heart for Israel, Shakira. It's the real victim!
Avraham ,   NY   (08.08.06)
7. What would Hezbollah say about Shakira?
Jessica ,   USA   (08.08.06)
Perhaps that she is blasphemous and an infidel............
8. Shakira's wish
Martin ,   London   (08.08.06)
If Shakira was to come and live in Lebanon she would have been completly ostracized from society by the radical islamic community. She wouldnt have the success or be allowed the platform she has, as she does in the free and democtratic society thats she lives in today. She dresses, dances and sings about things that are completly against the islamic way of life and this would not be tolerated. why do you think she lives in the states?
9. U JUST SING
Yahir ,   Honduras   (08.08.06)

10. No 3 - You don't make sense

11. Shakira
Mark ,   Detroit, Michigan   (08.08.06)
Sadly, there is only one way to end this conflict, and it is through war. People launching rockets at civilian targets can only be killed. Keep up the fight, Israel, until you have victory!
12. doesn't jibe with her other statements
Steve ,   Raleigh   (08.08.06)
Shakira has already publically stated that she would never perform in front of Jews and doesn't want Jews to listen to her music.
13. And Your Point Is, Shakira?
Erik   (08.08.06)
Shakira spent years conveniently forgetting about poor ol' Lebanon while Syria, Iran and Hezbollah were raping it. It seems to have taken a few well-placed Israeli missiles to jog her memory. Perhaps she should just stick to the bad singing and flab-wiggling belly dancing.
14. Shakira Rocks! Very Brave of her, let's hope.....
Lebanese American ,   San Jose, CA, USA   (08.08.06)
...this does not affect here career, and put her in the 'anti-semitic' category and the jewish mafia in Hollywood won't destroy her career...
15. good thing she doesn't live in South Leb
Dudi ,   St Louis USA   (08.08.06)
Those hip shakes and clothes might make her a target for Nasrallah and his band of 8th Century Men.
16. SHEKET!!!
KACH 613 ,   MEDENAT YEHUDA!!!   (08.08.06)
Someone that sings about the size of their hips has no bisness to tell Israel what is moral and whats not THAT SICK PERV!!!
17. Amen, Shmulik
Aaron ,   Chicago   (08.08.06)
18. NASRALLAHS HIPS DONT LIE ? ;-)
ANDREW ,   MIAMI,FL   (08.08.06)
19. Shakira Shut Up!
ambrosine ,   london   (08.08.06)
Your boring me now...
20. shakira, you elected hezbollah
(08.08.06)
now deal with it b*tch
21. Rubbish
(08.08.06)
Blablabla, go get some education, maybe live and Israel, then let's see who you support, big boobs tiny brains. I so hate those singers that are on the "I'm a singer people love me so I can manipulate them into buying my politics" vibe.
22. Shakria..
Mark ,   Brooklyn   (08.08.06)
Nasrallah would hang her on the next tree.
23. Keep to your own job
juan ,   spain   (08.08.06)
Shakira - You sing very well, maybe you should leave politicians to make decisions. You don't ask Saniora and Olmert to sing do you?
24. Who cares? Should not be a news item!
(08.08.06)
25. Sorry Shakira,
Josh ,   Atlanta   (08.08.06)
But the dispute, anger, and hate was not created by the leaders. It predates all of their births. Israel's leaders care about the people and their needs. Their need is for Hizbullah to stop shooting rockets at them, and in order to get them to stop, unfortunately, you have to kill them. Israel's leaders are not elected to care about the people and needs of Lebanon. They are elected to tend to the needs and security of the people of Israel. The Israeli people need to have Lebanon rid of Hizbullah, and this cannot be achieved peacefully.
26. shakira
kizzaka ,   Lisbon   (08.08.06)
Did she really said jews?... or israelis? There'se a big difference...
27. Shakira is from Columbia and Catholic not really an Arab.
Daisy ,   USA   (08.08.06)
Shakira's dad is Lebanese but she doesn't speak Arabic and was not raised in the Arab culture and is ignorant on the Middle East . Who cares what she says?
28. Steve; I doubt Shakira made those comments.
Daisy ,   USA   (08.08.06)
There are a lot of powerful Jews in the Latino entertainment industry like Don Francisco of "Sabado Gigante" so I doubt she would alienate them by making those statements. Where's your source?
29. #12
Jane   (08.08.06)
When was that?
30. #26
Jane   (08.08.06)
If she said either, she's dead in my house.
