31. She should open comm channel with Hezbollah
RA   (08.08.06)
And ask them to stop attacking Israel.
32. Shakira's rich daddy prob Hezbollah
RA   (08.08.06)
And her music industry profits are probably fueling terrorists.
33. "No more fighting shakira, shakira"
Liora ,   nyc usa   (08.08.06)
Shakira just said that the violence should stop she isnt anti-israel she is anti-war. She doesnt believe in war... thats all I got from her statement. she mentions its sad for both sides. she is right it is indeed sad for both sides. Shakira is just about peace. Leave her poor hips out of it!
34. WOW WORDS OF WISDOM.............
steven ,   usa   (08.08.06)

37. war in lebanon
rene' slaiman ,   orlando   (08.08.06)
skakira is right, we need leaders that care for there people. I am married to a gentleman from lebanon, hes great. He has children over there in lebanon cant get thru to see how they are. This is devastating on both sides, children, and women getting killed. Where is the peace, and where is the love for one another. condolizza rice is not doing anything about this, but we the people can. I am a united states citizien, and i hate to see what is going on over there.
38. Shakira is a hot piece
Andy ,   USA   (08.08.06)
of ass. But she's missing a brain.
39. Shakira and Brains
Mahmood ,   Jordan   (08.09.06)
are mutually exclusive. "War is bad" she cries. Boo-hoo. I guess the war against the Nazis was wrong also. What do they teach in Colombia??? How to make coffee????
40. you be quiet
rene ,   orlando   (08.08.06)
israel is not the real victim. who has more deaths and injuries, you tell me. Lebanon is real people to ya know .
41. We want Peace too
Michael U ,   SF,CA   (08.09.06)
As a practicing Jew and a human being I too am tired of all the bloodshed. Having said that, I am old enough and wise enough to know that when people say they want to destroy you, you need to defend yourself. Israel has every right to defend herself from the Hizbillah pigs who started this conflict. Israel has every right to confront the Iranian and Syrian Islamic Jihad against the Jewish state. If Shakira is supporting the terrorists, she is a terrorist herself. She has not, nor I suspect will not, feel sorry for the damage she and her so-called people have inflicted against Israel. She needs to do some hard thinking {I doubt she has the brains for that} and apologize to the world for her irresponsible rhetoric. PS: I don't know who the hell she is, doubt she can sing, and wouldn't buy her crap for 99 cents.
42. shakira is been just polite
noemí ,   madrid   (08.09.06)
I can´t understand all these messagges. She did not say anything supporting neither Hezbollá nor Israel. She is a star caught with a question and she only gave a message of peace for both sides. doesn´t mean anything politically. At all. She is not lebanese. She is colombian.
43. Shakira , Shakira, What a fraud!
Dolby ,   Toronto   (08.09.06)
I remember that last year. Shakira went to Lebanon to see her father's hometown of Zahle in the Bekaa Valley. At one point it was reported that she was confronted by locals and fled to Beirut to spend the rest of the trip there. So, what the -blip- is she talking about? Her "people"almost stoned her to death! I guess there is something to gain from this conflict as well.
44. EVERYBODY WANTS PIECE, NO ONE SLOVES THE PROBLEMS=ARABS
DACON9   (08.09.06)
45. Shakira ...give her a break
Mishe Mohim ,   Lebanon   (08.09.06)
I don't Know how you all accused Shakira of being biased to Hizbollah ..she did NOT support neither sides. she is talking about peace..give her a break you fanatics.
46. TO 8
SAUL ,   LEBANON   (08.09.06)
YOU PROVE THAT YOU ARE IGNORANT. YOU SHOULD READ MORE ABOUT LEBANESE CULTURE. LEBANON IS A SMALL COUNTRY BUT IT HAS BOTH EASTERN & WESTERN CULTURES IT IS THE PLACE OF 16 DIFFERNT RELIGIOUS SECTS & EACH OF THEM ARE PRACTICING THEIR RIGHTS FREELY.
47. Shakira the Bombshell
In the Hood ,   Here and Now   (08.09.06)
Or perhaps just a bomb? Strap her whorey booty to some missle and send her over to Lebanon...if she makes it over there in one piece and then let's find out how those Nasrallah boys would treat her dressed like a slut and in a totally un-Islamic fashion. Hey that could be her next MTV musical reality show! Her own kind wouldn't thank her for speaking out; they'd slap her or stone her and then sell her into slavery. Wake up Shakira and smell the Nargila!
48. Naked Slut who Hizbullah wants to veil
(08.09.06)
Go back home.
49. dear shakira, the world intervened and issued the resolution
honest ,   usa   (08.09.06)
number 1559, however you know who are the arabs are. they undrestand only one language, unfortunately.
50. Proof that rock stars are dumb in any language
Jack Golan ,   Sacramento   (08.09.06)
Get back to us, Shakira, after Nasrallah issues you a burkha.
51. Shakira has more BRAINS than anyone that is commenting!!
Lilly ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.09.06)
If anyone has a tenth of a brain that Shakira has, you would understand from this article that she is AGAINST WAR and FOR CEASEFIRE. SHe is not taking any sides. Just because she has a Lebanese Father does not meet that she is AUTOMATICALLY for Hizbullah. Stop bashing shakira because she, just like all people with careers...can still follow politics and support peace---unlike all the bloodsucking people that comment on this site. Shakira is human...and extremely talented.... And before Lebanon was destroyed...She would have been able to perform in the beautiful cities of Beirut.
52. shakira shakira

I want to speak as a young person in the name of my generation because I am sure that my generation agrees with me on this: war is not the solution to any conflict. Not today, not in this century. Its urgent that there is an international diplomatic intervention and an immediate cease of fire. I am sad, I guess like the rest of the world is, to know that because of this conflict so many innocent mothers and children are dying. I just want a call from my generation to the US leaders and the super power countries' leaders to stop this war because we all know they can stop it. I just hope that there is an international diplomatic intervention right away. We want something better for our kids; the kids in Colombia, the kids in Israel, the kids of Palestine, the kids of the world, because I believe in only one human race. ..We don't need leaders that create more divisions and resentment and more hatred. We need leaders that care about the people and about the social needs of a nation, not leaders that only invest on weapons and space missions. I think we need to start worrying about what we have here on this planet, which is really tough, it is tough to survive in the world we are in, with so many natural catastrophies like the tsunami that just happened in Asia and on top of that, we are killing each other. This is something I don't understand. There is alot that we need to start doing in order to survive as a community and as one human race. http://www.shakira.com
53. who cares?
bored   (08.09.06)
So just because she is a rock star - meaning she makes buckets of money for "singing" and prading around in clothes that emphasize her physical being - that makes her opinions news - it breaks her heart??? why doesn't it break her heart that the Lebanese - her people, allow the Hizballa to rule Lebanon, instill fear and terror and bomb innocent people just because we are Jews - apparently that doesn't matter -- enough with this garbage - we need to defend ourselves and not listen to idiots who have no idea what is going on.
54. Bunch of losers & ignorants
(08.09.06)
I would recommend that you re-read carefully the article before vomiting your stupid comments! She is simply against the war and killing but obviously you people, are thirsty for blood. No wonder you will always be in a state of war . What makes you better than Hezbollah, both are fanatics and criminals...
55. Shakira is an idiot. Shut up and sing.
Jack English ,   Austin, Texas   (08.09.06)

58. #3 Muhammad, they let you into the USA
Mel ,   USA   (08.09.06)
