91. Comment from Beirut
Jerry ,   USA   (08.11.06)
What percentage of the Christian residences of Beirut want the Hezbollah 's in their country? 99.99%?
92. Israel is a blessed country
Pt ,   USA   (08.11.06)
Israel will prevail because it is blessed by God. The Muslims have a allah which was selected by a demonic possessed mortal man named Muhammed. Muhammed was a murderer of Jews and prophet of satan, not much different than these leaders of al queda, hamas and hezbollah and expecially the pres of Iran. Make them martyrs as soon as possible for the benefit of the civilized world.
93. Nasrallah in La-La Land
Joan ,   Haifa   (08.11.06)
Remember Saddam's Minister of Information? He stood on the roof and broadcast on radio that the American forces were "nowhere near" when they must have been plainly visible down the street. These guys must be sipping from the same cup.
94. Nasrallah's nonsense
Jasmin ,   Haifa   (08.11.06)
I think what Nasrallah is saying is purely a case of "If you tell people something long enough, they'll begin to believe you." He's covering his butt with the Arabs and possibly fooling some Europeans. That's all -- it obviously has nothing to do with reality.
95. To No. 45 -- and pigs have wings!
Jasmin ,   Haifa   (08.11.06)
96. So Khalid youre saying the Islamic fascists won???
freedom ,   canada   (08.11.06)
Interesting ... and the comment about all faiths in Lebanon supporting Hizbullah is a big crock.. get your facts straight. Its not over yet even if there is a ceasefire... The fascists at Hizbullah will try again and likely Olmert will then have been sent packing and Likud will be in power.... and then Hizbullah will be sent away permanently....
97. To#85, Lorenzo
Shady ,   Lebanon   (08.11.06)
Chose a side, brother. HizbAllah stuffed up and was being "adventurous". I believe it was even for the wrong reasons. But that gives Israel absolutely no right to bomb Lebanon and its Infrastructure, its innocent civilian who were just enjoying the summer, and put the country back 20 years. Don't have a four week old memory, look at history. Israel is surely by far the greater of two devils. HizbAllah is like a rebelious brother in a small poor family, in which no matter what we must stick by and complain later.
98. victory!
Brian ,   los angeles, ca   (08.11.06)
What? You expect the guy to go on tv and announce that he lost.? Hez. had it good. Not being kicked out despite a UN resolution. No Lebanese government around. Now, it loses territory, thousands of missiles and supplies built up over the last 6 years. Victory - no! Just a miscalculation that proved costly.
99. Twisted mind-set
Rafi ,   Ra'anana   (08.11.06)
Lebanon is completely destroyed, there are a million Shiite refugees, Hezbollah suffered by far heavier casualties than the IDF, they lost territory which included their front line fortifications and yet, they claim that they won the war. What a twisted mind-set.
100. Nasrallah has won.... number 30
freedom ,   canada   (08.11.06)
He can pick up the bill for rebuilding Lebanon this time around.... the christians did the last time.. Have fun is south beirut nasrallah... and as they say its not over till the fat lady sings.... and shes not singing yet....
101. Dovy .. tsk .. tsk....
freedom ,   canada   (08.11.06)
I do think that the christian lebanese were spared most of the pain... but then again I dont think they support Hizbullah .. they actually cant stand them.. at least the christian lebanese Ive talked to in canada... youre in canada.... why.........
102. France is winning not Hizbullah
James ,   Glasgow, Scotland   (08.11.06)
Lebanon needs rebuilding. Chirac cosies up to them. Offers French troops and no doubt plenty of construction companies. Olmert , this was your moment and you bottled it. That's what happens when you put liberals and socialists into government. The French could never protect themselves so how do you expect them to protect Israel? If you must give ground at least demand that Serbian forces are deployed in Lebanon that way at least you'll know that you have a friend in the north.
103. Just a question Bill....
freedom ,   canada...   (08.11.06)
When was the last time Lebanon was a sovereign state... oh yeah Bill.... that why there was a war... hizbullah and the non existent sovereignty of Lebanon... thanks bill for the opportunity to talk here...
104. We need an agreement
Lebanese Citizen ,   Beirut   (08.11.06)
What we need is an agreement from both sides. Israel is destroying our beloved country, and no one seems to care. In the mean time, I agree that Hezbollah should stop the rockets. Hence, a cease fire from both sides must be reached.
105. 75. Sheba farms is israeli territory
freedom ,   canada   (08.11.06)
land lost in a defensive war is the victors.. not sure why anyone would want the shaba farms but you can keep talking on it... israel can give away its territory if it likes... but it sure wont bring peace in my opinion
106. many more are with you then against you, israel
marilyn   (08.11.06)
Wasn't this done in a previous war with the Arab nations. where the media were proclaiming victory to the wrong side. and then the shock when little israel defeated them?
107. living a fantasy world
kezandra ,   kl   (08.11.06)
This pathetic and delusional man is worse off than a teenager; living in a vacuum of hate which only breeds evil and destruction. Declaration of a victory when there are 1000s of Israeli soldiers still combing the area for weapons has a lot to say for a man who declares holiness by his appearance but vile as hell. Where is he to be seen when his own women, children and brain-washed soldiers are dying for his 'fantasy' of a "holy" cause?? Their only and sad goal in life is to wipe Israel off and fly 'unlegalized' flags of weapons ... what a pitiful way to live or even to be birth at all ...
108. 84.. nice hizbullah propaganda..
freedom ,   canada   (08.11.06)
or rhetoric more like... did you use it from a nass rallah speech.. too bad you just spout the rhetoric go read the history books about occupied territory... judea and samaria... and the west bank and gaza... how many years do you want to go back... and a question what famous cousin or infamous cousin did arafat have????
109. 88, I get it you support hizbullah...
freedom ,   canada   (08.11.06)
did you have to make me read so much... look christian lebanese cant stand hizbullah... its just that they wont say it in public.... hmm.... i wonder why.. anyways..fascism and hizbullah wouldnt look good on lebanon... look how lebanon has looked lately.....
110. It's appearances which count.
daniel ,   amsterdam   (08.11.06)
And appearances say that Israel lost. Why? Because we declared at the beginning of the conflict we would whipe out Hezbollah. Stupid stupid politicians. Lesson number one in war: SHUT THE FUCK UP and let our cannons do the talking. Now Muslim extremists see that there is a way to fight Israel. Who will volunteer to fight with Hezbollah? Out of a population of 1 billion people, surely several hundreds of thousands. Nothing attracts more recruits then a cause which can be won. They don't fight out of despair, they fight because they think they can win. And we just gave them infinately more hope this goal is achievable in the near future. So peace now...means war for ever.
111. Idiocies of Islamist dialectics !!
Hiram ,   Tel Aviv   (08.11.06)
If Hizbullah is the winner why in hell do they need an " honorable way out " If they need an " honorable way out" they ae not the winner. Traditional Islamic guerilla idiocies showing the political immaturity of Nazislamism !
112. terrorists
Lebanese girl ,   Lebanese girl   (08.11.06)
Just keep on wiping the hussies! Not only the coward facist sare hiding behind civilians, but they are making them stay where they are, and if anyone leaves they shoot him. No one dares to say that cos they are afraid of this terrorist militia!! We are with u heart and soul! Go on Israel!!!!
113. I'm very dissapointed
David ,   Monterey USA   (08.11.06)
First time on this site, and while I've only read half a dozen or so, the comments I read are frightening, with one exception --- #35 "I'm very disappointed" by Charie. Thank you for your willingness to speak with a voice of reason and compassion. Too many Jews are blinded by hate and fear and willing to consider what should be unthinkable injustice and violence against others. My middle name is Israel and I am aghast at our behavior.
114. Hezbollah victory !
Joe Scarolla ,   Belgium   (08.11.06)
It reminds me this guy : http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/images/07-minister.jpg :)
115. Hezbo's Started It, Don't Forget
Josh Vogelgesang ,   Fresno, California   (08.11.06)
While there are some points that I don't agree with Israel on, as a whole, I think they are doing the dirty work that I think everyone wishes they would do: get rid of terrorists. Lets see, who is widely proclaimed they are a militant group hell-bent on destroying Israel? Hmm. I think Israel just said 'OK, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!' and started fighting back. Good work. For the Lebanese, I hope that you will expell the Hezbollah out of your land - you will have peace. How does anyone expect to have peace with a militant group in their midst? I mean, really, is it that hard? I wish for peace as well, but not at the expense of innocent life. But terrorists must be stopped. If Lebanon is 'comfortable' with the Hezbollah running around their country, then I think they should expect things like this. Seriously. I'm neither Jewish or from the middle east for that matter. I'm just your average American who isn't brainwashed by liberal and distorted television (ala CBS). God protect you all and peace be with you. - Josh Vogelgesang (yeah, not afraid to use my whole name :) )
116. i dont understand
eugene ,   israel   (08.11.06)
since when winning means: more than 500 dead soldiers , tens of captives, most of the buildings with the tag "hezbollah" destroyed, most of infrastructure destroyed, most of long range missiles destroyed, the country they're "defending" is crumbling, a million of refugees.
117. #115
Lebanese girl ,   Lebanese girl   (08.11.06)
Hello there, I keep hearing people telling the lebanese to expel huzballah. How in God's name are we supposed to do that, when those people are actually lebanese (Although only in name, as they really work for iran and syria). Not only that, but we cant even use our weak army to do anything thanks to syria paralyzing it, during the last 30 odd years. We are hoping that israel is gonna weaken them and hopefully the army will get stronger soon, to act for the government, instead of these fanatic radicals! And of course our greatest wish is to see syria 's turn next!!!
118. War with 1 hand tied behind ur back
ENOUGH ,   northern Israel   (08.11.06)
I learnt one thing from being a parent..that if i say something to my kids I better stand behind my words..if i dont and they deem me to be weak, then the next time I threaten them they will laugh in my face. First we go into full scale war mode, but we wont call it a war we will call it something else, so we dont have to compensate all of us here in the northern (home) front who are dealt the blows on a daily/nightly basis. If you want to punish someone then make it something they wont forget..and dont make big promises about things you not sure u can keep. The military has had its hand tied, loss of funding, not enough updating, not enough technology..and lo and behold you go to Hiz bunkers and they have the lasted state of the art technology...who assumed that they were not preparing for this..where was Intelligence, hiding behind Mr. Perez's words. With all due respect, my association with Perez is Yaspan playing him and I think that role is best suited him..He has no military background. Why do people who have no clue get top positions in jobs they dont understand.? We had the opportunity, we had the chance, to do whatever, be killed, be hit the first 2 weeks but now amonth later..we suddenly remembered oops we will just have to go in a little deeper and put in more troops..what for..we need more dead soldiers ,for what to prove a point, so we come out smelling good. There are no victors in war..Hizbolla can use any pathetic logic they want. if this is what they call victory let them have it..why fight them phsyically or with words, they dont comprehend they only understand death and destruction they want Israelis to go back from wherest we came, but they say so from the comfort of their homes built in USA , England, and Australia . Mr. Chavez has 700,000 lebanese in venuzuala against 13,000 jews..where wud u pledge your alliance... They wanted their prisoners back..take em, less people to feed big deal..all of this for what I am sorry but whilst I barely missed being hit by a rocket on the side of the road today (it went overhead) I doubt that you will be able to convince me that this was all worth it!!!!
