If you wanto to hear about the most immoral army in the world, go talk to your grandfather about his army years.

When the war is over, the Israelis will have jobs to go bakc to. The only jobs in Lebanon will be cleaning up all the rubble. There is no Lebanese Resistance, only Hizbullah aggression. And Hizbullah is not a ghost, just terrorists hiding among their families. You'll keep rebuilding Lebanon, as you have in the past, only to see it destroyed once again because Moslems don't have the brains to build a good life for their families, so instead they spend their time trying to destroy the lives of a people who have made the world a better place for all mankind, beginning with monotheism and ending with the Torah. .
33. Does anybody know?
Ofer ,   Los Angeles, Ca USA   (08.09.06)
This article didn't mention, so, does anybody know what the ethnicity of these snipers are (i.e are they Jewish and how did they end up in Israel)?
34. Nab either your blind or your just plain dumb
Mike ,   Israel   (08.09.06)
Did you drive down to south bierut? did you drive down tyre, sidon, balbek. oh yeah no brigdes. I'm sorry. wait let me change the tv station maybe almanar is showing briges now lol. Ghost your right Hezbollah will become ghost quickly.
35. irrelevant
WL ,   USA   (08.09.06)
I'm sure there is much history between the Jews and the Muslims. However, a lot of people need to stop living in the past, otherwise they wont learn from it for their future. Lets not get carried away and killing each other for who's land belongs, or who slept with who's wife, whether it who won the poker game between Abraham and Mohammed 2000 years ago, etc etc. Lets focus on the conflict now and there is only ONE bottomline (ONE premise, ONE reason, ONE root) as to why the middle east is in this mess are now: Hizbians kidnapped 2 IDF soldiers started this current mess. Everything after that is only consequencial. It does not matter how hard Israel hits, it does not matter how hard Hizbians hit. Killing of innocents is always a bad thing (d'uh). Again, who do you think started this? I once had a troublemaker neighbor, we didnt like each other. One day, I discovered my brother went over to that neighbor's house and vandalized. When the neighbor found out who it was, I confronted him. After dealing with the neighbor without having to break him in half, I went to my borther and punched his lights out and kicked him out of my house. So whats the moral of this story? I hope you and your people can figure this out, Nab. Maybe you and your people should do the same.
36. Fighters for The Free World
Robert ,   Warsaw, Poland   (08.09.06)
Those snippers will make Lebanon as free as Tchechenya and Afganistan. They will fight for it. I'm wondering who is your favorite, USA or USSR? Probably both, but this has nothing to do with the Freedom and Democracy Mr. Musttaches is talking about.
37. Attention all arabs!
Ram ,   London   (08.09.06)
Nasrallah is a hero! He stood up to the Israelis for over 3 weeks! What a brave lot Hizbullah are. They are now the toast of the arab world. The cost? A half destroyed Lebanon and over a thousand dead Lebanese, so far. Your warped hate filled minds are so basic that you are unable to distinguish wrong from right. The way you see it is "Hizbullah is killing Jews, hurrah!" These scum bags fire rockets from residential blocks surrounded by women and children. The spineless Lebanese government allowed this cancer of a "militia" to grow within its domain unopposed thus resulting in the present tragedy. Hizbullah are NOT winning. They are laying to waste a prosperous country and condemning a supportive braiwashed civilian population to death and misery. If that is how you like it, so be it!
38. Israeli snipers aiming at ghosts
Khalil ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (08.09.06)
You better give them a portrait of casper the friendly ghost...hahaha
39. usa & israel are out of touch...
mark ,   beirut lebanon   (08.09.06)
I wont if they are blind or right out shmucks.. they dont have any brains left in their sculls? they havent learned anything from history? you are making hizballa legendary in the arab world... there will be hizaballas all over... soon one arab country after the other will fall to extrimists... israel with usa are simply out of touch with reality
40. What exactly are Hizbollah's objectives?
Robert Tilden ,   Sheridan, WY   (08.09.06)
What Exactly are Hizbollah's objectives? are they not to destroy Israel? How can they claim victory while Israel stands? Perhaps they have an objective to defend Lebanon, note Lebanon was not attacked till Hizbollah ignited this, but even if this objective is accepted, Lebanon is according to it's own prime minister 'being torn apart'. So this objective is failing. So now Nasrallah's goal and objective is to survive? this is like having a school teacher's objective not to teach her kids to read, not even to keep the kids in class, just not have the kids tear her cloths off. Not even a baby sitter would get a pass for having such modest goals. In truth Hizbollah is a diversion from Iran and as such it is a success. But who are the targets of this? the UN and Russia and the EU. The USA and Israel are still very aware of Iran. Its idiots like Neb and Thomas that think this is about Lebanon rather than Iran.
41. Russian Snipers - Goodby Hezbos!!
Mike ,   Israel   (08.09.06)
These 30-40 year guys have the right killer instinct. Every time a Hezbo in Bint Jbail or anywhere else shows his nose, he's going to have it blown off. Then his RPG can drop off his shoulder and kill all his buddies.
42. God bless Lebanese Woman & Children
Robert ,   Warsaw, Poland   (08.09.06)
It appears that izrael wants to create another Tchechenya in Lebanon. I'm wondering how many woman and children those animals will rape.
43. Robert
Avraham ,   NY   (08.09.06)
Keep quiet, Robert. Poland, a country smeared with Jewish blood and one of the largest Jewish cemeteries still has substanital problems with anti-Semitism. I don't want to hear any criticism from a Pole here whose ancestors either killed Jews or stood by while my people were slaughtered en masse by German Nazis and their collaborators. Just shut up!
44. Ignorants!!
Edy ,   France   (08.09.06)
You're talking about the "free world!!" and you're killing palestinians and lebanese? Where is this freedom when you come and steal other's land (palestine)? All of you are saying that arabs are terrorists, well let me remind you that these are the actions of your policy in the region! You also say that anti-semist is growing, did you ever wonder why? A reminder: arabs befor the creation of israel where living in peace and harmony with Jews, mean while jews where opressed by Europians and they where killed. So open your eyes a little bit and think! if you continue with this policy, hateress will be amplified! After that, you should fear the consequences! If you're seeking for peace, try not to force ppl and stop agressing them! One thing, you think that you can destroy resistance, but with these brutal methods, all you do is create new ones. You will see!
45. To #37 - Lake of info
edy ,   France   (08.09.06)
You're saying that Hizbullah is hiding between buildings. This is what your media show you, you brain wached ppl. First of all, was Hizbulla firing from Red cross cars, or electricity generators, or UN buildings, or Bridges, or even TV antennas!! Stop lying on yourself! IDF is terrorism by himself! You where killing and attacking lebanon from many years!! and for what? Your own pleasure of killing innocents!
46. Get 'er done!
rickmd03 ,   Baltimore,USA   (08.09.06)
These are Sharon rejects from the Army. Now find the senior and middle echelon officers who were also purged from the Army. Put them to work.
47. Heheh.. thank u for replying !!
Nab ,   Lebanon   (08.09.06)
All those stupid comments, describe ur fear and paranoia from a group called Hizbullah.. U r a bunch of paranoic pple, who live on fake lies, fantasies and historic achievements... Poor little minds!! Keep watching ur TV channels.. just to be endorsed with some fake hope!! Hehe.. yeh right.. Hizbullah will vanish.. Keep on Hoping!!
48. what happend
Mick ,   Australia   (08.09.06)
I taught that the IDF control Bint Jbeil since 2weeks ago, Olmert Claimed they won the war. and what amaze me is that most hartred comments come from the US as they saying fight till the last Israeli wake up guys.
49. #27 Allan
Mick ,   Australia   (08.09.06)
hey Allan it seems you watching the wrong chanels as I can see that IDF is loosing on ground battles with lots of it's best Gollani soldiers being killed and it's best tank being destroyed and as for 40-50% of Hizbollah being destroyed where all this missiles coming from. I can tell you here in Australia hardly anyone watch Fox as we all know it's an unfaire and unbalanced station
50. #42. You a a sicko!
Ram ,   London   (08.09.06)
51. ex-soviet exterminators
simon ,   bologne   (08.09.06)
it is really something for you. You may be proud of such new citizens. As a matter of fact Bagdad ,after one month of bombarding already looks like Groznyj,capital of Chechnya
52. #2-history is repeatng itself
Arie ,   Afula   (08.09.06)
look around you-lebanon (or what's left of it) is entering the stone age at the speed of light thanks to hezbullah!
53. Polish Joke Robert
(08.09.06)
Stupid comment about turning Lebanon into Chechnya. Chechnya was a part of Soviet Union before it disbanded. Lebanon has always been an independent country. Stupid logic just to open your dumb mouth! You are the animal for suggesting that they would rape women and children. They leave that to the Muslims in Darfur, Somalia, Denmark, Sweden, Australia and...oh well, you know the rest.
54. Nab
Michelle   (08.09.06)
Get a freaking clue! Had Hezbullah morons not invaded Israel, killed Israeli soldiers and kidnapped Israeli soldiers, you wouldn't be spouting off such stupid bullshit right now. USE YOUR FREAKING BRAIN!
55. What's wrong Thomas from Germany?
Michelle   (08.09.06)
The Jews are fighting back this time and that must bug the hell out of you!!!!!
56. sami
Michelle   (08.09.06)
"were is the powerful army of israel" Do you mean WHERE is the powerful Army of Israel? In Hezbollah's face!!!!
57. I see alot of BS
Floyd   (08.09.06)
from the Hezbullah supporters. You people are dumber than a stack of bricks. You have no idea the military power that Israel has and you should be thanking your lucky stars she hasn't unleased its full potential on these Hezbollah animals...yet!
58. "Russian" Snipers
Pavel ,   Moscow   (08.09.06)
How can these people be called Russian when they left Russia to go and live in Israel? They are Israelis surely, and they are just mercenaries who have no morals when they go to support a pro-US state that bombs so many innocents in Lebanon. Thank God that Russia and Putin, unlike the US, have not yet been taken over by the Israel lobby.
59. nab get your facts straight
zionist forever   (08.09.06)
Nab Shebba is not Lebanese land its Syrian it was captured from Syria in 1967. UN resolution 242 considers it to be part of the Golan Heights. If your people belive that Shebba belongs to Lebanon then thats something to take up with Syria and not Israel which is not obligated to return it to anybody unles its for a peace trety with Syria. If it was Lebanese territory then why shouldnt Israel demand a formal peace treaty in exchange for it the same way it has demanded formal peace treaties in return for land in the past and will do in future what makes Lebanon so different that Israel should give up territory and get nothing for it in return.
60. to #24 You are right, russians are coming!
