31. A year later
Jon ,   Montreal, Qc   (08.15.07)
If Olmert did what Nassralla told him a year ago, things won't be as bad right now for the Israelis. No, instead he wanted to be arrogant and he went to a war which made the insecure Isreali society more insecure. Now, Israeli leaders are acting like bad Arab leaders, they are behaving exactly the same, they are as arogant, and as denial, facing someone so powerful, his word is a promise, and his promise is more then what Israel can handle. Problem is, the Israeli people are behaving like defeated ARab people who are arrogant enough to admit not only the defeat, but they are scared of the Katychya flying over their homes again. Is this the begining of the end to the made up state?
32. Nasrallah
Spencer ,   Israel   (08.15.07)
All you poor misguided Nasrallah supporters out there (many of whom have left their Arab/Muslim countries of origin to seek a better life in Europe and the USA and to foster anti Western terrorism) wake up! Israel is the only democratic country in the Middle East. Nasrallah is still in hiding; he's on the run(is this the behaviour of a "victor"?); soon he'll be a has been. The free world knows that he and his followers are nothing more than a bunch of cutthroat terrorists I am just surprised that some of his own people have not yet "taken him out" after all the suffering that he has caused them!

Shay ,   Israel   (08.15.07)
Yes... colonialist and imperialistic Israel which by the way is less than 1% of middle east, HA! I think you haven't looked at a map lately, the imperialists are the arabs who have much much more territory than tiny Israel, let us live in peace, take on your own problems, we are not your problem, your leaders are your problem, change them and start living and florishing in PEACE.
34. #30
GUH ,   Russia   (08.15.07)
We live in the real world. We don't need to be paid to make our comments. My messages are all grammatically correct (even better than yours). Your delusion that Jews invented wireless internet is pathetic. I could just as easily say that the Mossad controls the ecstacy trade. Facts, Isragirl. Distinguish your fiction from facts.

Russians are Gog not guh learn some history.
36. #18 &19 - CB, you rock!!
UCLA Bruin ,   Bear Country, CA   (08.15.07)
It's great to see support coming from Bear Country! UC students and alums- solidarity against ignorance and terror!
37. #34 - GUH, Learn to write!
Taras Shevchenko ,   Winnipeg, Canada   (08.15.07)
"Distinguish your fiction from facts." Now that's REALLY good English, NOT!!!! Also... isn't "h" not even a sound in the Russian language? That's even more proof for Isragirl's argument that you're just some paid-off jerk who types in a phony name and location as his identity... Also, when taking into consideration that people are fleeing "Mother Russia" in droves to places like Israel is proof that you really need to get your head examined if you're crazy enough to stick around that place... BTW... when will Russia ever fess up to the genocide it committed against the Ukrainians? 10,000,000 dead from starvation in the streets while Russian trucks haul Ukrainian grain to Moscow- that's more than the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust, Armenians killed in the Armenian Genocide, and refugees killed in Darfur COMBINED!!!!!
38. Nutsrallah
Talula ,   Israel   (08.15.07)
Nutsrallah hasn't taken into consideration that the last war in Lebanon killed thousands of Lebanese citizens and for what? Where is any evidence that a war was won? Lebanon is a lump of shrapnel and the country is in a shambles? Was that his prize? Or did he take over part of northern Israel? No, he didn't. What it did for us was make us more aware of what we are dealing with and I believe WE are better prepared and infinitely more aware of the situation now. I'm positive we are a stronger country BECAUSE of the last war and also because we have a new chief of staff who knows is ass from his elbow. Nutsrallah is a typical Arab terrorist who thinks he can rule the world. Why would he want to taunt a country with nuclear weapons? This is an Ace card of ours, and we need to start playing with it. I truly believe he blurts out these statements BECAUSE we keep quiet and he doesn't know if any attack is being planned. He's a sad, sorry fat loser who runs away from the IDF and lives underground, then has the cheek to call himself a hero. It's time for Nutsrallah's son to share his 70 virgins with his father. The world would be a better place without him.
39. Is the Arabic Parallel Universe talking again?
(08.15.07)
Coz,... who attacked who again?
40. #34, kettle calling pot black
Danny   (08.15.07)
I think Isragirl is complaining about the poor english of the commentators - which is wierd because Hizbollah have fluent english speakers. Anyway as for facts, lets distinguish your post from hers. Her claim that Jews invented the wireless communications: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedy_Lamarr http://www.ieee.org/web/aboutus/history_center/biography/lamarr.html Your claims? Any factual basis to them or are you simply parroting Hizbullah propaganda?(Its a rhetorical question...)
41. 'divine victory' = mere survival, being rescued by UN
Tobias   (08.15.07)
This would be so ridiculous, if it weren't such a serious issue... Hisballah merely survived, only because the UN pressured Israel into a cease-fire. Hisballah probably wouldn't have survived two or three more weeks of war...
42. And each October, Egypt celebrates its 'big victory' of 1973
Tobias   (08.15.07)
... when Ariel Sharon's troops stood on the west bank of the Suez Canal after three weeks of war, less than 100 miles from Cairo, encirceling an important Egypt tank army group which they could easily have had exterminated, if Israel would have wanted that. If the arabs can't achieve victories, than they make one up whereever possible ... obviously, after 1967 it was not possible.
43. To all the idiots that support this Nastyrullah
freejay ,   Israel   (08.15.07)
Last war Israel used less than 5% of its capabilities/fire power(and still wiped out sth leb)...........next time we will use 6% and finish off hezbollah for good.
44. #40 Arabic numbers?
(08.15.07)
45. pure hatred, and frustration.
(08.15.07)
It is so obvious how much the Zionists here hate Nasrallah, and almost killing themselves because he so clearly defeated them. Merkavah project is kissed goodbye. Air Force Capabilities ... Bye Bye .. Fighters professionalism and skills .. a joke in Israel. A lot more ... ask your generals idiots .. By the way, they do not need to speak English, because they are not British Americans or Canadians. You do not speak a word of Chinese .. and almost 30% of the world's populace are Chinese. It is great they speak any English. You are just jealous.
46. NASRALLAH THE NOISE MAKER
(08.15.07)
How many times do you call the name Israel , Zion, Jews, IDF and US in a day. Why are you preoccupied ?
47. Hassan, watch your back!
enzo ,   london,uk   (08.15.07)
48. I support Nasrallah
Sukant Chandan ,   Hayes UK   (08.15.07)
google me.
49. Victory is turning Lebanon into rubble....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (08.15.07)
this towel-headed moron has a strange way of winning. Maybe Syria wants a victory too now. For all of our internal bickering, we still know what's important in life and that's living, not dying.
50. #44, your point?
Danny   (08.15.07)
51. #45, and your point?
Danny   (08.15.07)
Isragirl was making the point that probably the people posting pro-Nasrallah nonsense are Hizbullah and making rather pathetic attempts at propaganda and she seems to think that there is a strong chance they are all actually the same person based on the commonalities in writing. As for the rest of your post: Why is the Merkeva project "kissed goodbye"? Because you managed to destroy three of them and severely damage another four? That makes Hizbollah's tank destroy rate the same as that of Hamas. There has been absolutely no news about Merkeva's being shelved. So we can assume you'd made this up. Air force capabilities "bye bye", what again based on fake stories on Al-Manar about planes "shot down". The biggest danger over Lebanese skies last summer was electricity cables. The fact is that next to nobody in Israel wanted the war to end when it did, that the IDF was highly motivated to continue and the howls of protest occured AFTER the ceasefire. Just like the other "victory" in 1956, the UN saved your bacon. Even the useless PLO killed six the number of IDF as you did in the same period of time. The Palestinians in the west bank managed twice as much and they didn't have hundreds of millions of Iranian dollars to spend(just EU and UN money). If a "victory" for you is insignificant IDF casualties, crappy inaccurate rockets fired, the whole of the south of Lebanon destroyed, IDF in control of Lebanese land post ceasefire and one third of your best fighters dead, failure to achieve your political goals even a year after etc etc, then long may you have such victories.
52. to John #5 and #1
Tony ,   Jerusalem   (08.15.07)
Its not you who decide and when to go to Heaven.Its God the Big Allah. Another thing ,Nasrallah is an honest man and he did what he said not like your leaders who lied to you.They were defeated.
53. It isn't like that
Ali ,   Dubai   (08.15.07)
I was there in lebanon when the war was going on...I had the choice to leave, but I didn't...why? simply because it is my land and my people, I don't care about my life if I lost them, if nasrallah wasn't there somebody else would be in his place simply because we love our freedom...by the way...what do you mean with 72 Virgins...I've never heard about it any where in Muslim books (my Father is a Muslim & my Mom is Christian) help me find it...
54. Ooops, sorry, they are not on payroll
Isragirl   (08.15.07)
Rather, just like Nasrallah, they are objective, balanced people who cherish and defend truth and fairness above all. They are not some sword-waving anarchists with megalomanic aspirations who seek supporters and new recruits in the ranks of other destructive militant groups. No-no-no. They don't falsify history. They don't "torture" facts to create some convoluted reality that suits their ideologic and self-serving purposes. Here's an example of one of them. http://ouraim.blogspot.com/2007/06/ouraim-magazine-on-hamas-hizbullah-gets.html http://www.socialist-labour-party.org.uk/42%20Youth%20Section.htm Sukant, thank you for at least identifying yourself. You are an intelligent, energetic, driven young man. Why don't you apply this energy to something productive? Jews have survived Roman expulsion, Spanish Inquisition, Russian tzars, Stalin and Hitler. You know why? Because we don't seek revenge as a group (although some individuals do, naturally, see last year's war). We're focused on building and creating, and that what takes us beyond the deprivations of every epoch. You live in UK, you know the frustrations of exile - ethnic, religious, physical, psychological. I've known too many Brits of Yemeni, Pakistani, Indian, Iranian, Chinese origin to know what it's like to be different in England. It's actually as bad as being a Jew in Soviet Union (personal experience). So why can't you relate to the fact that Jews want to have their own place? You know very well that it was created in the first place b/c of the European intolerance, which you probably encounter even today. Little has changed since 1880's, isn't it? And you must know (even if don't like to admit it) that the Palestinian cause was driven by the conniving, self-involved politicians of the same ilk as in Soviet Russia and today's America. So why seek war? Can you imagine what the territories would look like if 1967 didn't happen? If Arabs weren't infiltrating Jewish settlements in Israel proper from the beginning and murdering Jewish families in their sleep? Look at the prosperity Israel achieved in the face of wars and world embargo. Isn't it impressive? WB and Gaza could be the same way. Isn't it the well-being of your people that you want to achieve? Or will you go the "socialist way"? Good examples - Russia, China, North Korea,.. Gaza? And to the "defenders" of the Arab world - Arabic numbers? That was your last important input? Couldn't you mention Omar Khayat, or Khalil Gibran, or Orhan Pamuk? What about the wonderful Iraqi and Afghani doctors who save lives every day in subhuman conditions? These should be your real heroes. Not the murderous snake Nasrallah. Salaam.

(08.15.07)
yes, we're jealous. Who wouldn't want to live in Lebanon... and we're frustrated - with you, people. Why don't you want to live well and in peace?

are we taking bets?
57. Hezbollah daring Israel for war
John ,   London,UK   (08.15.07)
British papers say that Israel was beaten by Hezbollah in 2006. Hezbollah win was epoc making event. No wonder Nasrallah can now dictate terms. Hezbollah Chief Hassan Nasrallah has threatened Israel with a big surpise when the next war breaks out. He has already stated that his missles can hit any point in Israel. Therefore, we can guess that his big surpirse would be to flatten Tel Aviv the capital of Israel. Hezbollah leader has promised to finish off Israel once and for all during the coming fight. Expert agree that the Israeli military, which could not take on Hezbollah and finish one of the best trained guerilla armies in the world, would this time be in for a beating at the hands of Hezbollah fighters. Iran is also itching for a fight with Israel. Any strike by US would be a good excuse to unleash Hezbollah and Syria upon Israel. No amount of US help can prevent Hezbollah and Iran from their stated aim of wiping Israel off the map. Iran has claimed that countdown to Israel's destruction has begun. And Nasrallah said nex tfight would change the middle east and world forever. He is daring Israel to launch war. I think time for fighting is over. The best thing is to find a way to talk to yours enemies. It is no point only talking to your enemies. Make peace with Syria and Lebanon is proper thing for Israel. Otherwise I fear the end of Israel is nigh.
58. #37
GUH ,   Russia   (08.15.07)
Once again, these statements are either lies or hypocrisy. Good. Let people flee from Mother Russia- apparently your state idolizes the Jewish people. For the second time, I don't need to be paid to make my comments. These are based by my opinion only. Finally, Khrushchev denounced Stalin's crimes. Israel has yet to admit it massacred and forcefully expelled the Palestinians or even that they existed in that land before.
59. weaker than a spider web
Sajed ,   Southern Wind   (08.15.07)
This time , if you went to the see of palestine, they're gonna hunt you down. just wait and see a promise is a promise and you all know what that means.
60. #53, if Nasrallah hadn't attacked Israel
Danny   (08.15.07)
and made 5 failed attempts in 2006 before then there would have been no war. One thing the Hizbollah leadership is not is dumb, do you really believe that having reacted so vigorously to the Shalit kidnapping that they didn't think Israel would not react to a Hizbollah one? Bottom line you don't want war then make peace.
