petr le pet... Maybe you can have the Nazi Pablo from Argentina (#56) invade Prague again, then there would be peace forever. The only thing that needs dismantling is the UN (useless nobodies!)
68.  UN to demand Israel pay Lebanon $1 billion
Gerald Hodgson ,   Lakefield Canada   (09.07.08)
I don’t think Israel will pay up on account the demand will likely get vetoed in the U.N. by the U.S. and besides even if by some miracle Israel was forced to pick up the tab the U.S. tax payer would likely foot the bill.
69. #52 Reply to Bandar
Lina ,   USA   (09.07.08)
Calm down Bandar and start working to salvage Lebanon, not destroy it. As a Hizbullah cheerleader, you represent the cancer causing problems all over the world. 1600 dead and injured Lebanese wasn't enough for you? That's what you can expect if you touch another Israeli soldier. Compensation to Lebanon for starting an unprovoked war with Israel???? Ban must be joking!
70. Earth to Moon
Cynthia ,   USA   (09.07.08)
Hizbullah attacked Israel in an act of aggession. The border was peaceful. Hizbullah is part of the Lebanese government which makes Lebanon responsible for starting a major war that resulted in devastation on both sides. The damage is Lebanon's responsibility. In reality, Israel needs to send Lebanon a bill for damages.
71. UN asks Israel to pay damages
fishel ,   USA   (09.07.08)
What about the damages caused by Hezbollah rockets? Should'nt they also pay for the damages
72. Have Iran pay for it. Their proxy army attacked Israel.
Zvi   (09.07.08)
73. (oh - and since Hizb decided not to protect its own
Zvi   (09.07.08)
civilians, but in fact launched rockets from their towns, Israel has nothing to pay for.)
74. #65: like there was peace before 1948? Suuuuure.
Zvi   (09.07.08)
75.  you have got to be kidding..
Jesus freak ,   usa   (09.07.08)
Israel, remember the God of the universe will protect you.. even when all nations turn their back on you. study scripture. it is the word of God.
76. THE US SHOULD PAY
JOHN ,   USA   (09.07.08)
The United States should pay. They pay for everything.
77. IS MOON ON DRUG? OR WHAT?
Michael Ezrachi ,   St. Louis, USA   (09.07.08)
What kind of drugs is Moon taking? Israel, and the USA should leave the UN NOW!, Any one who thinks obama is the right choice in the US election, Obama's answer to any foreign crisis is to defer to the UN. I'm amazed that any intelligent person can take Moon or the UN seriously.
78. No payment....
Daniel ,   Israel   (09.07.08)
UN should keep out of it! Nasarallah started it all. He should pay us for that and destruction in Lebanon too. We may need another conflict; we want Nasarallah out of his job.
79. The source for this news is a pro-Hizbollah rag
Danny   (09.07.08)
which as usual the Israeli press is reporting as fact. Why don't we see if some reliable source reports this? Or if it actually happens before we go off the deep end?
80. To #7
Mike ,   Tel Aviv   (09.07.08)
I was going to write something so similar to your post! With the only exception being that I was going to call our world Kafkan. My only hope is that the Lebanese media have exaggerated and nothing like that is in fact forthcoming. It's not a very strong hope, though...
81. Let's GET OUT OF THE UN, Israel & USA
USA   (09.07.08)
Enough already! The UN is our enemy!
82. LEBANON HAS SUFFERED ENOUGH
ambra ,   florida   (09.07.08)
ISRAEL SHOULD PAY FOR THE DAMAGES!! LEBANON HAS GONE THROUGH ENOUGH! IT DESERVES TO BE THE PARIS OF THE MIDDLE EAST, AGAIN!! BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, PEOPLE, ETC... LET THEM LIVE IN PEACE, FINALLY!!!
83. # 82
Thomas   (09.07.08)
If Lebanon wants peace it should stop starting wars.
84. #82, Beirut was only called the Paris of the Middle East
Danny   (09.07.08)
by people had neither been to Paris nor the Middle East. Want to live in peace then stop making unprovoked attacks on your neighbours.
85. unprovoked?
Joerg ,   Germany   (09.08.08)
hm, unprovoked ? One side says "They came on Israels soil", the other side says "We captured them on Lebanese soil." Everybody says we just defended ourselves. Whose propaganda to believe ? Israels or Hezbollahs ? Everybody belives his own propaganda, but for someone not favoring any side it is hard to decide if Ban's demand is just or not ...
86. #85, actually they didn't say that
Danny   (09.09.08)
and video and photo evidence clearly shows the soldiers on the Israeli side of the border. It's not a matter of propaganda, its a matter of evidence - not the photoshopped kind.
87. Ban Ki-moonbat out of his mind again?
Steven ,   Sydney   (09.10.08)
Ban Ki-moonbat out of his mind again, or is he scared of the islamic groups includes Hizbullah, PLO, Hamas and Fatah etc?
88. #87, absolutely no confirmation of this story
Danny   (09.10.08)
it is simply pro-Hizbollah BS parroted as fact by our great media...
