1. there is no Lebanese government
zionist forever   (08.05.08)
There is no independent state of Lebanon there is a Syrian colony and Syria is an Iranian puppet. So much for resolution 1701 that Livni is so proud she hellped negotiate.
2. smart Lebanese
gandolf ,   canada   (08.05.08)

5. Congrats to Hizbollah
kyle ,   las vegas   (08.05.08)
This is the best news I have heard in a while. Now the gov. is directly linked with hizbollah and the IAF and IDF should be able in the next war to take out all of lebanon and make it leb-a-gone!
6. Frightening, Nazi Germany beginning again.
vered ,   israel   (08.05.08)
7. Two goverments in one country ? Well
Eric........ ,   Israel........   (08.05.08)
if thats what they want ,then they deserve what they get.The Lebanese goverment will allow the hizbullah too run wild and do what ever there heart desires.Then they must be willing too pay a heavy price.I feel sorry for the good Lebanese people .
8. Olmert's final gift to the region
MK ,   Atlanta, USA   (08.05.08)
Nice going Israel. Keep up that great "deterrence". It's really working.
9. Right Decision.
Nathan Rai ,   Bangalore   (08.05.08)
That was a right decision. The next time around, which will surely be within the year, the IAF need not look down to see where the the bombs hit. The Shias Mahdi must be another perverted snake, or Ahmedinjads Uncle, for him to decide that mass murder is a good cue to make a grand entry. Could the family name of the Mahdi be Kuntar ?
10. Thank you Hizbollah
George ,   USA   (08.05.08)
A proud time to be Lebanese. Thank you Hizbollah.
11. Now it's tuning into a level playing field!
Edithann, USA   (08.05.08)
There is a Lebonese government. alright, .but none that Israel likes..' I love it because now Hezbollah will get some good arms ..ones that will shoot down those Israeli fly overs.. Lets see Israel takes Hezbollahs fly overs...
12. 1701 Null and Void, Livni Over
GZLives   (08.05.08)
This ought to finish her and for that matter Kadima as well. As soon as Iran needs diversion, the Hezzies will act up ... and sadly what's left of Lebanon will suffer
13. Prelude to the 3rd and final war
Arie ,   BaGolan   (08.05.08)
Reuters might as well hone up its Photoshop skills; the civilians of S Beirut might as well start evacuating; and UNIFIL should start boarding their exit vehicles. A new Israeli leadership cometh to deal with the 3rd - and final - war. nazirallah's rat hole will serve him no purpose as bunker busters blow him out; the qassam infested flats of beirut will fall; and the UN will bitch. But in the end, we have learned from our mistakes. We enter a war to end the charade called 'lebanon'!
14. what is it ? Hizbullah 3, you guys are 0
sami ,   yaffa   (08.05.08)
you are out
15. MOUQNIEH IS WAITING FOR NASSRALLA TO JOIN HIM ASAP
JEWS FOREVER   (08.05.08)
16. Lebanon just sowed the seeds for more war
Samuel Prime ,   Canada   (08.05.08)
The language of their resolution affirms their backing of Hizbullah's former terrorist actions as well as lending hindsight recognition of Hizbullah's cross bordering to killing nd kidnapping Israeli soldiers. If hat's not spelling their doom I don't now what is. As many posters on Ynet have ointed out elsewhere, should Lebanon ask for another war with Israel, it will make Israel's task less painful. No longer will Israel need to be selective in its targets by focusing on a hidden enemy. It will be a war against Lebanon, not just Hizhullah. Too bad, Lebanon, you chose the wrong friends.
17. RIP Lebanon. Now there is only Hizbullastan.
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (08.05.08)
UNSC 1559, which called for the disbanding of all Lebanese and non-Lebanese militias, as well as the removal of Syrian and Iranian units, can now be deemed a complete and utter failure. Lebanon is no more. With Hizbullah now a full partner, if not the dominant player, the Lebanese government can no longer point a finger at someone else committing aggression against its southern neighbor. Any action against IAF overflights, Mt. Dov (Shebaa) or Gajar will merit a swift and punishing response.
18. They do have a right to arms
(08.05.08)
but they should be cuffed behind their backs.
19. We have a go
Tarzan ,   MEU   (08.05.08)
For the establishment of Nasrallahstan. At least they can't claim not to be part of the Lebanese armu anymore
20. Leb Govt- Hezbullah can do what they like
I.Kemp ,   Nahariya   (08.05.08)
So much for 1701 and the disarming of Hizbullah .As predicted we now have enemies on all points of the compass bar the sea so one wonders when the fishes will declare war on us .! No worries though as WE WILL SURVIVE AND DO SO WELL in spite of our Govt and the self serving lot in it , Peace Now, Amnesty International ,UN. ALL of Lebanon is now our shooting gallery
21. The contradictions between Lebanese society and Hizbullah.
Robert Bernier   (08.05.08)
Most Christians, not to mention vast majorities of Sunnis and Druze, see no possible coexistence between the idea of the Lebanese state and a Hizbullah that received veto power over any decision that might limit its political and military margin of maneuver. Now the Hizbullah true intentions are out there for everyone to see. It can no longer hide behind its “resistance,” a fictitious “national opposition” or imaginary social protests. It is confirming on a daily basis that its minimal goal is to keep alive a Hizbullah state within the state and to force most Lebanese to accept this, even as the party infiltrates the government bureaucracy and has free rein in the airport and ports.

22. Well this blows the UN resolution out the window.
Rebecca ,   Modiin   (08.05.08)
23. Now all of Lebanon is fair game
Ilan ,   Ariel   (08.05.08)
If they want to hand the keys to Nasralla then they had better get used to few bumps on the road. Now the next time a missile or a kidnapping or even an attack linked to Hizbolla abroad occurs the entire nation of Lebanon is one big target for retaliation. Closing down an airport or a port or knocking out a power station are all options on the table. Better hope that Nasralla has internalized that living underground is not so cool. Or maybe living in a bunker will become a mainstream Lebanese lifestyle.
24. hizballah
sas ,   israel   (08.05.08)
up until now it was illegal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
25. Awesome...
Jew   (08.05.08)
now when hiz attacks Israel, it is really the country of Lebanon that is attacking another sovereign nation, Israel. Therefore, Israel can attack everywhere in Lebanon. Prepare for lots of death in lebanon. get your caskets ready.
26. #3
Jew   (08.05.08)
you can call it whatever you will.. palestine, israel..whatever..it's the homeland of the Jews. that's all you need to remember. you arabs have the rest of the middle east. easy lesson..next....
27. Lebanon surrendered to hizbollah...
william ,   USA   (08.05.08)
Unable to stand up to this terror and criminal entity known as hizbollah, the new president and ex-army chief surrendered the country to Lebanon's main ennemy and its two evil godfathers Iran and Syria... Now the average Lebanese will pay the price as he is now reduced to live in an occupied country and will eventually suffer the wrath of the IDF when the terror group attempts to score another so-called "divine victory"...
28. This is another proof that israel lost the WAR!
JERUSALEMITE ,   JERUSALEM   (08.05.08)
29. 28# Who said the war was over?
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (08.05.08)
Your perception of the war being over is false. The war against Muslim extremism will never be over. These Allah, Koran Thumpers, will be knocking at everyones doorstep forever. Just open the door and shoot them. Especially before the bomb belt goes off. This war will continue for the entire west for a long time to come. War has no timetable. It's fluid...as replacements come forth to replace the old soldiers. Nasty Muslim viral ideologies have always existed. Our soldiers are the antibiotics. The deluded virus is always present though.
30. For #14 Sami and #3 Abu Ali
Ricardo Macher ,   KarneiShomron Israel   (08.05.08)
Hi Guys, Like it or not, we are here to stay! So get used to the fact that this is the Land of Israel. We are not perfect, we are not the best, but we are here to stay, so you may cry as much as you want.
