Hizbollah "dictated" more seats in Cabinet - extra seats achieved 0. Hizbollah "dictated" new elections - new elections achieved 0. Hizbollah "dictated" Lebanese prisoners be released - number released to date 0(and there are more now than before the war). If Hizbollah is such a well-trained army then how come it inflicted negliable casualties on the IDF? It is a long stretch from being from lasting 33 days and having to bacon saved by the UN to "wiping Israel off the map", maybe in the next war they could end without Israeli army still being in Lebanon.... Exactly what did Nasrallah gain in the last war apart from a fresh bunch of idiots claiming "victory"? As for the Iranians, whilst they may excel at sending waves of pre-adolescent children across minefields, they have yet to win a war. Whatever happens it better be soon as Iran is set to be a net importer of oil in less than three years due to lack of investment in it infrastructure. Lets see how well Hizbollah fights without hundreds of millions from Iran. I hope the next war does change the Middle East, I hope that Israel tells the UN to F*ck off next time it tries to interfere and finishes the job as 99% of Israelis wanted the IDF to do last year. I hope we don't have three limp-wristed idiots leading us next time. I guess time will tell....

Yeh, Khrushev denounced Stalin's crimes - IN SECRET.... It was the Mossad who gained a copy of the speech and ensured the world heard about it[Yes, we are everywhere]. So far every single "fact" you have quoted is either false or incomplete. As for "massacring" and "forcefully expelling" Palestinians - I assume a reference to 1948 - it is rather hard to admit to something that didn't happen, those show trials must have you confused..... Yes, there were a few massacres - I am thinking here about the medical convoy at Hadassah and inhabitants of Gush Etzion - and yes there were forcible expulsions - Kfar Darom, Mishmar Hayarden, Gush Etsion, East Jerusalem - but somehow I suspect you aren't talking about them.... As for the Palestinian refugee problem and its causes the ONLY decent history that has been written about them is by Israeli historians - I am thinking here of Benny Morris and Yoav Gelber. I agree with you though, no one is paying for you to spout your nonsense because they'd be demanding their money back.

I'm talking about the massacres of Abbasiyya, Al-Khissas, Balad El-Sheikh, Jaffa, Semiramis hotel, Zazoor, Tirat Tulkarm, Saa' Saa', Al-Hussainiyya, the Cairo-Haifa train bombing, Deir Yassin, Kalonia, Lajjoon, Nasseruddin, Ain Al-Zeitoon, Safad, Abou Shousheh and of course the King David Bombing. All this occurred in the two years prior to Israel's creation. Many more destructive massacres followed. Is that complete enough for you? Do you want details on one or more of them? May the rockets of the Hezbollah feast happily on your pathetic comments.

I find it interesting that you go back prior to Israel's existence to claim terror. The ones I am familiar with Deir Yassin was a Arab PR stunt that backfired. The King David bombing was called in before the bombing and was ignored by the Brits. I'm sure if I research the details of the others many will be pure BS. That is not say Israel is perfect..it isn't, but what country is? Now the Arabs who were considered Syrians did massacre Jews in 1920 , 1929, 1936 and expel Jewish people from all over the Middle East. Since your out for justice, is that justice for all, or just Arabs. Here is a website about the real refugees. Not the Fake Pallywood ones. Not the self inflicted ones who refer to themselves as Palestinians. Not the ones the Lebanese just spent 4 weeks killing that you said nothing about. http://www.theforgottenrefugees.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=43&Itemid=56 Read the real story about ethnic hatred.

The main point of this aricle was about Nasrallah warning of a surprise should war erupt. You want to debate about something sixty-years old? Anyway, this comment and debate's closed. When the partition plan offered 55% of Palestine as the Jewish state, the zionists had a problem: in the designated area, the number of Arabs still outnumbered the Jews. So they schemed and they invaded villages; attacks on villages for examples Saa'Saa' where the Palmach toppled 20 houses, killing 60 people on 14/2/1948 and the butchery that killed over 200 people in Deir Yassin. The message was clear: flee or face the same fate as other villages. So was the result- 500 villages were demolished in 1948. Deny it all you'd like. It's the truth, as real as the holocaust. No questions.

learn from your arab brethren and don't make verifiable statements? Deir Yassin was two years prior to Israel's "creation"? Hmm, so Israel was "created" in 1950? It is also a perfect example of arab bollocks. Figures quoted are around 250, reality around 100. Claims of a "massacre" of unarmed civilians, reality a quarter of the attacking Israeli force was killed in BATTLE - put this in perspective, not a single Hizbullah components came close to this percentage in any of the fights in the last war. Haifa oil refinery - aka Haifa-Cairo railway in your post - six Arabs were killed by a IZL bomb, you of course forgot to mention that at the same place at the same time Arabs killed 39 Jewish co-workers and wounded 50 others with hammers and chisels. The other "massacres" you quote - balad as-sheikh and Hawassa - is where the murders retreated to[it is where they were from]. Note that in one of these BATTLES 16 Israeli soldiers were killed or roughly quarter the casualties the arabs suffered in the BATTLE. Khisas the arabs were shooting at Jews in nearby fields, killing one Israeli and in the following raid exactly 12 arabs, 7 of them combatants. Semiaris hotel was a suspected HQ of Arab irregulars. The others as far as I can tell are simply made up. The Hadassa massacre was 72 medics and nurses, all unarmed. The Gush Etzion massacre was 130 people AFTER the surrender. It ain't real, just like you quote in #65 about the death toll in Deir Yassin. It is an utter lie, there have been copious studies, ALL of them show the figure to be around 100. This includes Palestinian studies from Bir Zeit university, hardly a Zionist mouthpiece

Mark, GUH is using a well-known arabic irregular verb: I[an arab] resist, You[Jew] massacre. You can tell where he is coming from he quoted the well-known made-up story of a "massacre" of 28 villagers in Lajoon, the UN investigated and found the allegation to be utterly fraudulent. Also neglects to mention that the mention that the 2nd Yarmuk regiment of the ALA under Shishakli was at Saasaa and the ensuing BATTLE is what happened in Feb 1948. So far every single "massacre" has been either a battle or madeup. GUH - the point is that so far EVERY, SINGLE "fact" you have quoted is utter BS whilst claiming that other people - who have made accurate comments - are liars.

"Debate" isn't where you, GUH, make - and lets be kind - contentious, unsubstantiated claims[Less kind is out and out lies] and then berate the other side for mendacity.

No one gives any credence to the British press, or anything that comes from out of the UK any more. It had lost all credibility a long time ago. As for Nasrallah and that idiot in Iran- They can threaten Israel all they want- but the bottom line is this: Israel will take the entire ME with it, if it is pushed to that wall. Then, the entire world, its lust of oil, its ecco system goes right to Hell. It will all be gone in one huge irradiated mess- the entire world- which includes your own behind. Another point -is that for all the boasting of the new weapons that you folks acquired, don't think for 1 minute that Israel hasn't developed a number of new surprises of their own. They have the scientists, the technology, the experience- Iran does not. Iran has to buy theirs- and that means no experience, no background, no guarantee they have not purchased even more sabotaged items- like the ones that already blew up in their faces. Not a strong position to be in. Do you honestly think that China and Russia want insane Islamic neighbors with that kind of firepower? Do you honestly think they want Islam? They forbid the practice of religion- this is communism. They are just trying to position themselves for taking the region over. They want money, and they need the oil, too. If you think differently, you haven't the simple sense that G-D gave geese. If you think the US is bad- you haven't experienced Russia yet, let alone China. Israel has never showed their "hand" as to what they really have and are working on-not even to the US- and that is something you need to be worried about. Remember - the Jews invented the bomb when you folks were still figuring out how to use a flush toilet.

The RAT who is hiding in bunkers for most of his days. What has anyone gained from Hezballah's war with Israel? Israel seems to be doing about the same as before the war..only they may have learned from some mistakes they made. Beirut is still in ruins, trying to rebuild after the IAF obliterated the area, killing some 500 hezballah terrorists (the number is not clear, but its an estimate). And you fools still listen to Nasrallah as if he is some divine hero. He is a puppet for Iran, plain and simple. He is a terrorist who targets civilians...very brave and then hides in bunkers. Wow, what a brave man. Your pure hate for Israel and the US distorts your perception of reaity. You believe lies and ignore the truth. The rest of the modern world (this excludes Iran, north Korea, Syria most african countries and Iraq) can see the truth...but you can't. Keep bying into lies like a bunch of robots and see what happens in the end.
