1. how about
ilan ,   ta   (08.09.08)
they first say they won't attack israel again (in which case israel would be forced to grab more of their land). let's remember...israel didn't just randomly decide to take this land from them. they brought it upon themselves! it's funny how the lebanese forget this ALL THE TIME.
2. Then you, Siniora, and your terrorist allies
jared   (08.09.08)
are entirely responsible for your own actions. Sad irony is you and your land are not free, you are imprisoned, but not by Israel
3. God blinded this pathetic feeble fool
Jake   (08.09.08)
4. And the other seperate clause says:
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (08.09.08)
Even if we get our land back we will still kill those Jews by the barrel full. The muslims make a clause for every situation. A clause to kill this infidel...a clause to kill that infidel.....a clause to kill your neighbor. Clause ...clause ....clause. Israel has lots of bombs, for lots of different causes. Most of the bombs will be used for petty," I want a patch of dirt back," clauses, orchestrated to start wars, and kill Jews. Arabs and Persians constantly invent new excuses, clauses, to start wars with Jews. They will never accept land for peace. They will never stop inventing more reasons to start wars.....so they can keep killing Jews. Anotherwords......they are terrorists. They don't want peace....and never will accept it. Muhammed, and his cult buddy Allah, thought up a cluse for every situation. Especially if it involved killing someone who wouldn't join their little cult.
5. Tantamount to a declaration of war.
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (08.09.08)
If Lebanon thinks it's seen any combat wait. We have pulled our punchs way to often. Olmert is going and Bibi won't tolerate it.
6. Israel must retake lebanon up to the Litani!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (08.09.08)
And destroy what is north of the river. In the last war,Israel should have razed beirut to teach them to let terror stay in their country.
7. Israel's Best Weapon Against Hezbollah? End the Occupations
Johan Odin ,   Oslo, Norway   (08.09.08)
Hezbollah’s only reason for existing is to fight against Israel's occupation of Lebanese land, so Israel's best weapon against Hezbollah is to simply end the occupations and stay out of Lebanon. Israel tends to create its own problems so its "military emergency" can continue to be used as an excuse for its failure to write a constitution that guarantees equal rights and opportunity to all Israeli citizens, Jew and non-Jew alike, like a real democracy.
8. PM Senorita
Jeffrey ,   Boston   (08.09.08)
Wouldn't it be more accurate for Ynet to report what really happened: "with a quivering lower lip and fearful tears streaming down his face, PM Seniorita of Lebanon begged Hezbolla not to bother Israel again" ?
9. There are only 2 reasons why it is still occupied
Zvi   (08.09.08)
(1) It is Syrian territory, not Lebanese territory. Syria is not willing to officially demarcate its Lebanese border in order to cede this territory to Lebanon. (2) See (1). Since Syrian soldiers are occupying MUCH more territory in eastern Lebanon today, and an Iranian proxy military is occupying FAR more of Lebanon today, to focus on a few sq km that would be trivially disposed of if Lebanon's fellow Arab country, the would-be occupier of all of Lebanon, would settle its own Lebanese border with the UN, is absolutely hypocritical. To endanger all of Lebanon by supporting a private organization's war with Israel over that worthless couple of sq km, especially KNOWING that their Syrian neighbors are DELIBERATELY avoiding solving their border issue so as to exploit the Lebanese, is not only hypocrisy, it is crass stupidity and criminal negligence.
10. Finally
R.K. ,   World   (08.09.08)
Finally we all have understood the nature of Lebanese people. They are Israel's enemies. One of the reasons Israel has performed poorly during second Lebanese war was it Israel only fought Hezbullah, while it was handicapped for the rest of Lebanon. But now Israel has a better position, to wipe off all of Lebanon legally.
11. It's official
Neil   (08.09.08)
Hezbollah has completely swallowed Lebanon. Whether you think Israel occupies part of Lebanon or not, this official Lebanese position endorsing attacks on Israel makes the Lebanese government -- not just Hezbollah -- a legitimate target in the next war.
12. Saniora dribbling again
EGW ,   vancouver canada   (08.09.08)
What land is he talking about??
13. Lebanese Jihadist dream
Brod ,   USA   (08.09.08)
This Jihadist is dreaming of regaining fantasyland, that is, more of Israel's historic homeland. Perhaps Israel should regain its historic homeland in Southern Lebanon. In their perverted mind, the Islamist-Jihadists think they own the whole world. The next time they crusade on Israel, Israel should give them their pie and never again return to them an inch of captured land.
14. With all the ranting of the new provincial gov't
Arie ,   BaGolan   (08.09.08)
the lebanese province of syria, are the lebanese people ready for the devastation that awaits them?
15. Mr. Siniora
MARIO A. ,   Surfside U.S.A.   (08.09.08)
To regain your lost land, you will have to fight your Hisbulah and Sirians ......Good Friends . Mario
16. Finally, the Truth!
DWolf ,   San Jose, CA   (08.09.08)
I see nothing problematic with this. In fact, Lebanon and Hizbullah just sealed their fate! Israel has a country to fight instead of Terrorists who try to hide under women's skirts!
17. He is out of his mind .In few hours Israel can take over of
e.m.Jordan is Palest ,   s.f   (08.09.08)
Take over of Lebanon if you don’t believe it that just one more time try that
18. LebaGone
Roy ,   Comanche, Tx USA   (08.09.08)
Lebanon is currently, from the alleged pro-western PM, down to the Hezbullah-elected dogcatcher, preparing the Lebanese people for Leb War III, which Hezbullah is about to foolishly start! This time ALL of Lebanon is "responsible," not just a few "terrorists," so Israel can bomb Lebanese infrastructure, "no holds barred, and 'martyr' them all to their virgins for Allah..." The UN will mess their pants, but "such is war.."
19. Cry us a river, loser
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (08.09.08)
Seniora, you've given your country over to the forces of Iran's proxy, Hizbullah. You cried in 2006 because you allowed a renegade army to bring war to your land. Get ready to cry some more. Israel, as confirmed by the UN in 2000, isn't holding even a single cm of Lebanese territory. Israel has no grievance against Lebanon; it only wants a peaceful border. But if you, or your war mongering partner, should engage in aggression in some fantasy of "regaining ocupied land", I hope the IDF delivers a blow you will not forget.
20. Lebanese governement, unified AGAINST peace
David ,   Boston, USA   (08.09.08)
They are doomed, and I am disgusted by the treatment they gave to that monster Kuntar. No point in talking to them EVER when they honor monsters and fight against peace and prosperity.
21. lebanon and hexbullah were always one.....
bernard ross ,   st anns bay,jamaica   (08.09.08)
...there was no reason to avoid bombing parts of lebanon in the last war.
22. Shiite iranian takeover
Thunder   (08.09.08)
Lebanon is becoming Hezbolland. Thgen every target an devery official, including "president" Suleiman the hezb friend, become a legitime target. In case of any Shiite stupid act comitted against isreal, the next war will see the total collapse of Lebanon.
23. Siniora, yes you must!
Daniel ,   Israel   (08.09.08)
However take your charge, do not leave it to the powers, which are not recognized. The fight was not with Lebanese people; they were dragged in to it, and were ultimate payers. It was a false pride and notion of that mad man. His so-called win was loss for Lebanese people; access your damage ones again. Last time your damage was beyond the cost of land you are calming now. Next time you may have setback of at list 25 – 30 years. Do not trust that mad man’s power; come to your senses.
24. The Lebanese terrorist group, the Hezbollah, is a...
Robert Bernier   (08.09.08)
The Lebanese terrorist group, the Hezbollah, is a dangerous regional adversary . Their goals are crystal clear as Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah stated in 2002 “If they [Jews] all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.” Nasrallah also noted that Iranian and Syrian support for Hezbollah is well known by all. “Iran assists the organization with money, weapons, and training, motivated by a religious fraternity and ethnic solidarity. And the help is funnelled through Syria, and everybody knows it." Former Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh al-Tufeili candidly asserted “Yes, Hezbollah is a tool, and it is an integral part of the Iranian intelligence apparatus…Iran is the main nerve in the activity today in Lebanon. All Hezbollah activity is financed] by Iranian funds.” More at : http://xrl.us/kkxrc
25. Will Lebanon find its way out of the grip of bigotry and...
Robert Bernier   (08.09.08)
Will Lebanon find its way out of the grip of bigotry and terror? Across the Lebanon border, Israelis may have once found a culture not so distant from their own, with mercy, decorum and "rules of engagement" even in times of conflict. The Lebanese will have to retrieve that older world if they are to find their way out of the grip of bigotry and terror. A decent country would be under no moral or political obligation to celebrate a murderer as a heroic son returning from a long captivity. More about the reality of the M-E at : http://xrl.us/kkxrc
26. Don't pretend like you don't know what's going on
Jake   (08.09.08)
Acting like a fig leaf for mass murderers. You know very well what Hizbullah are all about. You know very well not a grain of sand of Lebanese sand is occupied by Israel, and you know very well what Israel is well within its rights to do if Hizbullah passes so much as a boot over the recognized international Blue Line border, you pathetic, hatemongering, discredited disgraced degraded Oslo fool. Israel will continue to defend itself, to your absolute terror and dismay. Kindly deposit your garbage elsewhere.
27. #7 - who should Israel cede the Shebaa Farms to?
redmike ,   Tel Aviv   (08.09.08)
The Shebaa Farms is a small area of land with disputed ownership located on the border between Lebanon and the Golan Heights. The area measures about 9 km (5.5 mi) in length, and averages 2.5 km (1.5 mi) in width, coming to about 22 km² (8 sq mi). The problem is whether it belongs to Lebanon or Syria. Who should Israel it to? Mike
28. to N° 7, end your lies, Odin
Giuseppe ,   Italy   (08.09.08)
Odin, you are a lier. There is not occupation of Lebanese lands by Israel today. Sheeba farms are not lebanese lands (syrian) and IDF leaves lebanon in 2000 (and you forgot palestinians terrorism from south lebanon). Sorry but your hate for jews is annoying us. Shut up, close your mouth, world don't needs liers and haters like YOU.
29. siniora now a tool to his hizbullah masters
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (08.09.08)
like an overnight transformation, siniora has bowed. and he did it so quick. shame on that man.
30. Peace Treaty would end occupation
Semsem ,   New York, USA   (08.09.08)
This chicken and Agent of Hezbollah should sign a Peace Treaty with Israel to get Shaba back but he's a coward.
