31. #2 You have that SO backwards, I'm sure you've hit your head
(08.19.06)
32. Good to see the ignorance of #2
(08.19.06)
who doesn't realize the Israeli raid was BECAUSE Hizbollah won't disarm. It just makes the anti-terror case stronger - and reduces compassion for Hizbollah's allies. Too stupid to live.
33. what about your son Kofi ?
John ,   israel   (08.20.06)
You better should have a look at those OIL deals your son is making with the Arab countrys!!!!!,that is the reason you are against us Kofi ?
34. What a joke
Natan ,   USA   (08.20.06)
Can someone please tell Larsen that the ceasefire was breached from the oneset? Hizbollah refuses to disarm, the kidnapped soldiers are not released and no one knows their condition. Israel is acting in self defense. It's action, in reality, comes to enforce the resolution that specifically prohibits Hizbollah from re-arming. You don't expect the Lebanese army to do it ,do you?
35. 2 Hizbullah isnt disbanding they are rearming..
freedom ,   canada   (08.20.06)
Hizbullah has been breaching the major point of the ceasefire. Their dismantling and disbanding of their weaponry. There is no reason for a ceasefire anymore. Israel should just continue on and rid the world of the fascists at Hizbullah.
36. 11 Hizbullah and n ASS rallah
freedom ,   canada   (08.20.06)
will last as long as Israel wants them both to.. nASS rallah is a wanted man, remember that . He is the architect of many innocent deaths. I would leave Lebanon if I were him, and disappeaar.
37. 1701. Totallly useless UN resolution.
freedom ,   canada   (08.20.06)
The entire resolution was about Hizbullah disarming and disbanding and no more weapons entering the country. Call it a day, and finish off Hizbullah so the Lebanese people can finally get around to a decent life. They will never have it with Hizbullah in the country.
38. 24 That alternative also includes the
freedom ,   canada   (08.20.06)
total and complete destruction of Lebanon, is that what youre really getting at. Lets hope the Lebanese finally grab some courage and kick out HIzbullah. If not were in for a repeat .. sooner or later...
39. 26. Hizbullah is a terrorist corporation in places
freedom ,   canada   (08.20.06)
other than Israel and the USA. Do you want the long list of countries that have decreed Hizbullah and Hamass as terrorists.. Speak the facts not Hizbullah fascist propanganda..
40. It is better to be hated and feared, than loved and mocked
TD ,   London   (08.20.06)
The UN , as predicted, want Israel gone. Let this be a lesson for Israel. Next time don't try to please the 'international community' - especially the UN, which wants Israel gone. HIT SYRIA HARD AND PROTECT ISRAEL.
41. Larsen despite his Lies in the past is back AGAIN
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (08.20.06)
Kofi and Larsen again in their Anti-Semitic Element: Hizbullah and Lebanon above ALL This shows that THEY will always work against Israel and For Terrorists REMEMBER UNIFIL - in 2000 - Kofi Annan & Terje Larsen The Har Dov kidnap demonstrated that U.N. observers protected and defended Hizbullah terrorists who crossed a U.N.- certified border to kidnap Israeli soldiers on home ground, using cars with U.N. license plates, and under the cover of U.N. flags (October 7th 2000). The Har Dov Kidnapping Hizbullah Kidnaps Israeli Soldiers in 2000 On October 7, 2000, in a clear violation of international law, Hizbullah terrorists crossed the Lebanese border into Israel, ambushed three Israeli soldiers on Mount Dov, and took them back to Lebanon. The Denial For almost nine months, high ranking U.N. officials, including U.N. Middle East envoy Terje Larsen and U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, denied possessing any videotape related to the kidnapping. The Confession On July 6, 2001, the U.N. finally admitted that they possessed the tape as of 18 hours after the incident occurred. Entire amazing Lies and story right here Har Dov Kidnapping - United Nations and Israel http://judaism.about.com/library/1_terrorism/bl_hardov_un.htm
42. NO RE-ARMING HEZBOLLAH: PART OF AGREEMENT
Da Sphincter   (08.20.06)
What are these UN fools saying? Israel has repeatedly warned and it was part of the ceasefire agreement that Hezbollah be dis-armed. That is why there is a ceasefire. Larsen and Annan - duplicitous double act of double-speak and deception.
43. Olmert in kindness should also complain to Adnan
John ,   NZ   (08.20.06)
that Hizbollah is not disarming... and where are the kidnapped soldiers. Siniora, you are a cry baby.. spineless leader..and a low life coward.
44. Hizbollah is violating the cease fire
Ellen ,   Virginia Beach, US   (08.20.06)
This cease fire is just an excuse for countries that want to see Israel destroyed to amass at the border with Israel and aid Hisbollah. Why do not hear Kofi Anan condemning Hizbollah for rearming and condemning Lebanon for allowing it? Hizbollah broke the cease fire when it started rearming. It is not the United Nations it is the United Arabs.
45. Outrage at the Cease Fire violation
Benjamin ,   Dnver, USA   (08.20.06)
A bit hypocritical of the Lebanese "government" and the Useless Nations in accusing Israel of violating the cease fire, don;t you think? Let's see: 1. The UN passed a worthless resolution, which had no teeth to it to begin with 2. The UN has as of yet failed to implement any of the worthless measures for which they are responsible 3. The Lebanese government, while approving the resolution, has an under the table deal with Hezbollah under which it will no enforce any of its responsibilities. So, since neither the UN nor the Lebanese Government are implementing the few requirements which would keep Hezbollah from rearming, it is up to Israel to do it itself. If Seniora, Annan , and Larsen don't lke it, they can either keep their end of the bargain, or stick it where the sun doesn't shine. Oh, and that goes for the Frogmen as well.
46. Resistance? Against what? Whom?
MentalFloss ,   Melbourne, Australia   (08.20.06)
Hizbollah is often referred to as a resistance. Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly were they resisting when they crossed the border into Israel and initiated hostilities?
47. Hope that ceasefire will be there
Faisal ,   Hyderabad India   (08.20.06)
The attack on Lebonan after ceasefire is really not a good sign.. Israel did mistake since it left lebonan in 2000 , leaving lebonan without any agreements and without any guarantees frm Lebanese Govt. When Israel had the chance to set things as securing borders and all sorts of agreements it didnt done anything , and for the past 6 years when Hizbullah was arming itself that time also Israel havnt taken any actions. But now Israel position is too weak coz of 1000 + lebanese civilians have dead, and this govt is just doing many misadventures one after another. Why Hizbullah was born to resist Israeli occupation in 1982 and still Sheeba Farms are in Israel's control. This is the reason that Lebanese Govt is helpless regarding Hizbullah in front of its own citizens. Even this is the reason that UN is not backing Israel openly coz Israel is a defaulter like Hizbullah too .
48. Israel and Kofi Annans UN.
Nathan Rai ,   Bangalore   (08.20.06)
Israel must tell Kofi Annan and make him understand that irrespective of what he thinks, Israel will be not cannon fodder for Jihadis. Ensuring peace was and is a task that was entrusted to the UN, and look how it carried out its duties. Israel must tell Kofi Annan very clearly that Israel understood the aims of Kofi Annan the day the Hamas flag flew at the UN, with a map which did not show Israel. Dont feel shy or afraid. Kofi Annan did not and does not. Remember, Israels very existence is at stake.
49. UN Resolution 1701
margot ,   manor texas usa   (08.20.06)
Hezbollah has already violated the resolution. Hezbollah says that it will not disarm as called for in the resolution. Hezbollah has not released the soldiers who are being held or provided proof that they were being treated well. Hezbollah started this conflict with kidnappings, launching missles AT CIVILIANS, TARGETED CIVILIANS (no warnings, no leaflets, no radio warnings), and the cold-blooded murder of a teenager. I am stil waiting for a condemnation of Hezbollah's actions from the UN. Israel has to protect its citizens; the UN certainly won't.
50. Boycott Swedish Products
lynne ,   Texas   (08.20.06)
The government of Sweden is anti-Israel. Boycott their products; don't travel there as a tourist. I won't buy a single item from Sweden.
51. UN ignores facts on ground as always
Johnson ,   USA   (08.20.06)
As always the mighty, and corrupt UN is clueless, or just does not give a danm. or has taken side of the terrorist. Look at the genocide in the Sudan, or Somalia, and Yugoslavia, on and on. Any nation has the right to protect itself in wartime, duh. The UN lies generations die.
52. the UN resolution was terrible
josh ,   ny usa   (08.20.06)
its breaking the ceasefire for israel to make sure the hizbullah doesnt rearm, but its not breaking the ceasefire for the hizbullah to rearm... thats because it wasnt in the resolution!!.... maybe if the UN made an appropriate resolution that called for the permanent disarming of hizbullah, we'd be getting somewhere
53. Re: #14 Ignorant American
Sharon ,   Los Angeles   (08.20.06)
As you say, "You make your bed, you sleep in it." True, we made our bed and we would sleep on it, if we saw that the UN resolution was being implemented on both sides. Return our soldiers, disarm Hezbollah and get the International troups to guard the border with Syria. Then you can talk about Israel implementing the UN resolution.
54. Lebanon Violated FIRST
Rita ,   California, USA   (08.20.06)
1. kidnapped Israeli soldiers have not been returned 2. Hezb'Allah has now refused to be disarmed, and with Siniora's blessings (although he might be worried about his life span) 3. Israel has a right to stop illegal shipment of illegal arms and weaponry from Iran and Syria until the "peacekeeping" force shows up. allthingsbeautiful.com for interesting insights. This cease-fire was dead in the water the day it was drafted. Trust no one.
55. # 18 Mike
PMG ,   USA   (08.20.06)
Mike you guys don't seem to understand that you are a very, very, very, very, very small minority in Lebanon and the arab world who have any judgement whatsoever concerning this matter and # 11 isn't interested in the truth for he is a part of hizbullah and i believe most, make that all, posts here that defend hizbollah, Iran, Syria or any other jihaders in any measure, whether from US, EU or elsewhere are nothing but terrorist drivel under the guise of being neutral or otherwise, including the UN. Get ur done Israel.
56. #20
PMG ,   USA   (08.20.06)
Is that the extent of your vocabulary when some one hits the nail on the head. we expect that of terrorist drivel, especially those that are used to speaking from fortified bunkers, from behind women and children, or under the guise of democracy as in the case of the proud leader of Lebanon, Siniara, and other UNKNOWN continents. Be not deceived for God is not mocked. That which a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
57. SMUGGLE ARMS - EXPECT MORE "VIOLATIONS"
Scott   (08.20.06)
58. hezbollah terrorist group
Ros ,   Australia   (08.20.06)
hana, the US, Canada, Israel, UK, Netherlands and Australia designate Hezbollah as terrorist. The EU, bless it, instead passed a resolution recognising clear evidence of terrorist activities by Hezbollah. They make well over 5 billion a year from their international criminal activities, drugs, money counterfeiting, extortion, human trafficking. Practically no crime that they aren't making money from. Hana, even if you think killing Jews and Americans is perfectly all right, how about all the victims of their crimes.How many drug deaths or murders when people refuse to pay extortion are you comfortable with Hana. So this war has opened your eyes, what you were against criminal terrorist gangs before, now you support them. It has certainly opened the eyes of many around the world to the venality and selfishness of the Lebanese. All over the world people are suffering at the hands of Islamist terror and crime, in particular women. . But for the Lebanese all that matters is, let us get on with making money and the Israelis can pay the price for our peace. Its called doing a deal with the devil!
59. U.N.=Useless.Nations.
Avraham ,   Netivot   (08.20.06)
Koofi Annal & his U.N. [Useless Nations] can go to HELL!
