Howard ,   USA   (09.06.08)
32. lebanon damages
alexi   (09.06.08)
lebanon attacked israel, israel is not paying one cent. I hereby declare that shebba will not be returned, nor golan, nor west bank, period. Olmert will soon depart and indicted. The AG will be required to review Olmert's conduct in violating his oath to protect and defend israel.Finally, I asm placing Yaalon as head of defense to develop a strategy to hurt hezbollah by special surprise means.
33. Ban Ki Moon should also instruct Lebanon to pay for the
Rivkah   (09.06.08)
damages in Israel that were inflicted by the Hizbullah that Lebanon allows to reside there with armaments. The Hizbullah should all be in jail in Lebanon as criminals. Since they are not, Lebanon owes Israel compensation for damage done to Israel by terrorists Lebanon allowed to reside there.
34. Why don't the Muslims support the United Nations 100%
Rivkah   (09.06.08)
instead of America? The United Nations is a failure and will lead to World War III and then Armageddon because they do not realize that attacking Israel is attacking God. If the UN REALLY wants world peace, they need to call a session with the leaders of the entire world agreeing to ask the Lord to come to the earth to take over instead of going through the nuclear destruction that is otherwise coming. Malachi the Prophet in the Bible says God will come if the nations ask Him to. That is the only hope of the world to avoid the destruction, famines and tribulations that are coming otherwise.
35. NO
JSM   (09.06.08)
Now what part of that do you not understand?

39. calm down this news is not real
ben   (09.06.08)
40. He's right.
Rich ,   Toronto, Canada   (09.06.08)
Israel should pay for the unnecessary damage it caused to the Lebanon environment. But then again, Israel does not even care for it's own environment, so we can't expect them to take RESPONSIBILITY for blowing up those Lebanon oil tankers and causing damage to the ecology. Will Israel ever grow up?
41. # 40
Bill ,   US   (09.06.08)
Nasrallah said that if he knew Israel would have launched such a counter attack, he never would have ordered the attack on Israel. Based on that Israel's attacks have proven to be a deterrent and thus were very necessary for the country's security.
42. US WILL VETO ANY EFFORT
Arik silverman ,   Milwaukee USA   (09.06.08)
The thing in this story of importance is that Israel bombed an oil refinery. WHY? Why hit at civilian infrastructure? Such things as this can only decrease the support for Israel among Lebanon's Christians.
43. 40 By your criteria, Saudis & friends owe everyone trillions
Global Citizen ,   Israel & USA   (09.06.08)
44. Obama vs. McCain on the UN
Battlecat ,   New York, USA   (09.06.08)
The UN is garbage. Obama wants to work more closely with the UN. McCain wants to replace it with a league of democracies. Obama opposed John Bolton's appointment as UN ambassador to the UN. McCain supported Bolton's appointment. I have voted Democrat all my life. This time, I'm voting for McCain. How's that for change?
45. $1 billion Crap
Brod ,   USA   (09.06.08)
Israel can tell the Islamist-Jihadist dominated and corrupted UN to go to HELL!
46. Arab world owes Jews HUNDREDS of billions they stole
David ,   Boston, USA   (09.06.08)
When the Arab world is willing to reimburse the land, money, and possessions they stole from the 850,000 Jewish refugees, then we can start talking. Anything else is a non starter.
47. BAN KI-MOON FROM THE UN.
Dondan   (09.06.08)
48. Israel, it's only an exta $1 billion
observer   (09.06.08)
49. Mr Moon
Psalms83 ,   Selah   (09.06.08)
Israel Should not Have to pay a cent untill Hezbelah verifiably surrenders ALL thier stockpiles of weapons...... sounds like a deal to me
50. Ban K-moon is a loon!
Wise Saba ,   Western Negev   (09.06.08)
The U.N. is truly a USELESS NATIONS organization led by a loon. Ban Ki-loon's comments would be more appropriate on April fools day.
51. When UN will compensate Israel for damage?
val ,   eu   (09.06.08)
52. reply to all
Bandar ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (09.06.08)
NO PROBLEM, we will capture other Israeli soldiers and you will pay. We will make you pay. You dont know what you got yourselves into. You just stirred a hornets nest.
53. Syria was the main country sustaining the damage
observer   (09.06.08)
Israel to compensate the countries harmed by the oil spill,
54. Ban Ki-moon, The Great
observer   (09.06.08)
he knows how to enforce the peace mission of the UN. He knows how to deal with the psychiatric character of each nation. Go, Go Ban Ki-moon; No more wars.
55. Flying pig economics
Ilan ,   Ariel   (09.06.08)
This is just silly posturing on Ban's part. I didn't think he was such a fool. Now I know better.
56. They should also pay for crimes commited in Palestine
Pablo ,   Argentina   (09.07.08)
They should also pay for crimes commited in Palestine, the occupation, the genocide and the human right violations. UN must stop Israhell and his crimes against humanity!
57. will Israel ever grow up
Mike ,   Hamilton   (09.06.08)
Re: "will Israel ever grow up". No it won't.
58. For the UN a spill is worth more than the Jews killed
carlos ,   San Diego   (09.06.08)
by the criminal Hizbollah who started the war. This guys at the UN are completely twisted bordering in criminal.
59. reparations
(09.06.08)
what the hey! No problema! Just have the US taxpayer cover the bill like you always do!!!
60. Pay?
Thundercloud65 ,   Oklahoma City USA   (09.06.08)
This is insane. All citizens of the world realize that Hezzy started the conflict by kidnapping and murdering Israeli soldiers. This was self defense as far as the Israelis were concerned and a lesson to not engage in such actions again. The UN needs to be relocated to Tehran.
