1. EVIL Agreement Vicious Attack on Free World's Innocents
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (07.15.08)
Israel's shameful government. A wicked agreement with murderers planned in the counsels of hell. Who will be safe? No one.
2. Yes... ok... let's get on with it!!!
Enzo ,   London, UK   (07.15.08)
Yes, sure, you won, Hizbullah! But... if you won, why do you keep hiding from the enemies you defeated???
3. It's only an official admission of stupidity.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.15.08)
But we already knew that.
4. They are correct. Dismal leadership encourages them &
klaus ,   Jerusalem   (07.15.08)
endangers us all. May Hashem have mercy on us.
5. If hezbullah won
Arie ,   BaGolan   (07.15.08)
Why is it that nazirallah continues to hide in his rat hole afraid to come out and face the wrath of the IAF and the Mossad?
6. radar to hezbollah
alexi   (07.15.08)
Our dumb merde olmert runs around conceding to syria who just gave chemical weapons and radar to hezbollah. What a dumb idiot. Barak is not much better. The 2 of them can go to hell together with one thing in common. Barak's wife saw the light and got rid of him long ago, Olmert's wife will be leaving him soon after he leaves the PM's office. He is desperately holding on because he knows mazzuz is unlikely to indict a sitting Pm. Messer and Zaken are playing Olmert's game of talk one day, shut up another day. Yaalon Eitam, Orlev and Shteinitz will put israel back on the right path.
7. SOS to the Univers.
Claudia ,   Germany   (07.15.08)
Nassralah is one character that we hope he will become as soon as possible the victim of an "alien abduction" .
8. Hizzbulah, from which cave have they let them out ?
(07.15.08)
"Hizbullah" what an ugly name. Actually from which cave have they let them out? The world associates this name with cruel murderers of children, criminal human rights abuser, liars and nevertheless ugly faces. It seems as if their existence in our universe is dedicated to plant hate and destruction. The day will come when the world will find the right way to send them to hell...
9. Photo of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei next to Nasrallah
Jake   (07.15.08)
It looks like Hizbullah did, in fact, keep its promise. It never forgot Daddy.
10. ENZO,DONT CHANGE THE SUBJECT....#2
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (07.15.08)
Be humble!!!
11. Israeli society morally bankrupt and backwards
New York   (07.15.08)
Israel fails it's citizen by not providing the most basic protections, the most basic fundamental rights to live safe and secure within it's own borders. Israel fails it's soldiers and dishonors their memories who die in futile military service to the "State" which accomlishes less than nothing by giving away precious land. Israel commits to agreements that the world has never heard of or witnessed, that no other country has ever commited to or could possibly commit to. "Therefore, here the word of Hashem, O scoffing men, O rulers of this people who are in Jerusalem. For you say 'We have sealed a covenant with Death and made a compact with the Grave; when the surging staff of punishment passes through it will not come to us, for we have made Deceit our shelter and taken refuge in Falsehood" Isaiah 27:14
12.  I SADLY COULDNT AGREE MORE
zionist forever   (07.15.08)
I agree with Kaouk 100% no we really have been completly defeated and humiliated over Lebanon. First we rushed into a war with no clear strategy or goals we wished to achive in mind. Then we have Olmert, the idiot Peretz who cant take the lens caps of the bioculars and the crooked air force general Dan Halutz who sold his portfolios on the eve of war. For weeks they dont listen to the men on the ground about the need for more use of infantry because this war cannot be won through air power because Dan Halutz is an airforce general belives the airforce are the only ones who can get anything done. George Bush was bending over backwards in the UN to give Israel more time to finish the job properly. Then without achiving anything Olmert rushes out tail between his legs & within months Hizbullah is stronger than they were before the war started. 150 dead Israeli soilders billions of dollars spent, and we got absolutly nothing for it depite the fact that we even had the US doing everything possible to buy Israel more time. Now we are going to finaly accept ultimate humiliation in the form of deals like this which will also of course probably increase Hamas demands for Gilad shalit Before Lebanon Syria was scared of Israel and the IDF afterwards Assad saw how badly we had handled the war so he lost all his fear and today he is calling all the shots and we are doing as we are told. Iran is more confient after watching how the Lebanon fiasco ended up. All the terrorist groups are amazed that Olmert agreed to the deal he did and I doubt even Hizbullah expected him to accept it.
13. #2 #5
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (07.15.08)
A group of 5000 soldiers with no heavy military equipment fought the IDF for more than a month, turned 1 million Israelis into refugees, killed 150 Israelis, destroyed tanks, airplanes and the Israeli flagship. Since the war they are more powerful than ever and and dictated the release of the most vile Arab terrorist ever. If you think Nasralla lost and Israel won, please send me some of what you are smoking.
14. Shiites dancing on the blood of their countrymen
JPS ,   Efrat   (07.16.08)
There will be a big celebration in Lebanon, probably financed by Hezbollah's patrons in Iran. Why the big celebration? To cover up the price of freeing Samir Kuntar - over 1000 dead Lebanese and billions of dollars in damage. If you're paid to dance, you can pretend you "won" the war. Do the Lebanese really care about the heavy price they paid? I think so, since they have no choice. The Iranian/Syrian occupation of Lebanon continues, and the Lebanese are prisoners in their own country at the hands of the Shiite mullahs.
15. let the civilized world comprehend
(07.16.08)
what is so heroic about a killer that smashed a 4 year old girls head with the butt of his rifle, mutilating her body and shooting her father? does anyone see this as heroism? it's not as if kuntar siezed an idf soldier or shot a man in uniform. he murdered a 4 year old girl and shot her unarmed father. where is the heroism? is it a crime that should be exhalted? respected? revered? given a hero's welcome? a country and a people that give this despicable individual a hero's welcome and hail what he had committed as a heroic act , a lebanese president and generals that attend this "hero's" welcome are not different in lack of humanity, beastiality, barbarism and cave age moral values than the person they are celebrating. what kind of freedom this fighter would have gotten by smashing a little girl's skull is beyond the world's comprehension. i used to think that my country people, the lebanese, are more sophisticated than the arabs and terrorists that inhabit part of our country. i used to think we had a wonderful ceder revolution that brought modernization and prosperity to lebanon. however, i see that nothing like this ever happened and i am ashamed and embarrassed by this celebration that is government supported in my country. some of us are embarrassed that this afair is to take place in our midst. we are not iran. we are not syria. however, now that their influence and foot is in our beloved country, i see no hope for my countrymen. i see us going down the arab/iranian/islamic toilette without any hope for the pearl of the mediterranian that it used to be. no wonder so many of us are leaving this country. i live near the border with israel and am a lebanese shia muslim, but i never in my life could see the israeli army doing this to an arab girl. never. and to think that the idf helped us during our civil war to eradicate the despicable terrorist element from the south and destroy the islamic fanatics from the south. this is the thank you we lebanese give israel. i am ashamed! i once hoped we will not be those barbarians, but i now see that my country has degraded itself and has jumped into a moral abyss the likes of iran and syria and the likes of gaza. shame on fuad saniora and his government in suporting such a shameful celebration. it doesn't present our people and our country in a positive light in the world community. if hizbullah wants to celebrate, let them, the barbarians will do it anyway. but for the lebanese government that is very westernized, to do this, is a tragedy! WE ARE HUMANS. WE ARE NOT ANIMALS! hamed aboutbul
