1. Only now they decide to do that?
(01.05.09)
2. I'm so reassured
The Alef ,   Israel   (01.05.09)
We know well not to trust the U.N., and the Lebanese army is not the S.L.A., so we don't know what percentage of them are Hizbillah or their sympathisers. The question is not if but when.
3. IF IF IF IF -Then IDF must flatten North Beirut&villages
Alan ,   SA   (01.05.09)
4. talkbackers anonymous
chanel   (01.05.09)
A new chapter called talkbackers anonymous has been formed. We admit we our powerless over flapping our thoughts and fingers and accept that G-d runs the show and there is nothing we can say or do about the situation before us.
5. Cowards
Norman ,   France, Eurabia   (01.05.09)
Hizbullah has won the last war and... remembers and... has no envy to win again ;-)))
6. UN commander insults both Lebanon and Israel
Dov ,   Cape Town, SA   (01.05.09)
Maj-Gen Graziano insulted the Lebanese govt by implying that it only complies with its international obligations for ulterior motives i.e. in order not "to give Israel an excuse to attack" And he insults Israel by implying that it desires to attack Lebanon and merely needs an "excuse" or pretext to do so. Which could explain why the UN's record in the Middle East is so dismal: causing offense is not the best way of securing co-operation!
7. #5 "Hizbollah has won the last war"
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (01.05.09)
If having a quarter of your army killed, your infrastuctures destroyed, and staying alive by constantly hiding like rats in underground bunkers - is all considered "winning" in your dictionary, then yes, Hizbollah won. And if having a quiet border is considered "losing", then yes, Israel lost.
8. Hezbollah wear their wives clothes as Hamas does
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.05.09)
Lebanon is not to be trusted neither is the UN, Be prepared for surprises. Now that the Lebanese army is massed along the israeli border ,Hizbolah is ready to fire missiles under their protection . Cut the head off the snake this time and do not allow the U.S to once agains call for you to retreat before the job is done. You can see how much damage it has done to Israel by listening to President Bush to call back the IDF before Hizbollah was defeated.
9. The President's tears of Sorrow....
Jan   (01.05.09)
can someone please give the address of Ms. Siniora. I I wired Frederick's of Hollywood in oerder to send him a box of pure linen hankies In case he gets too emotional.
10. No. 3
sam ,   beirut, lebanon   (01.05.09)
Its sickening how much you are excited to 'flatten' or 'slaughter' people/villages... dont bet it on it mate... if Israel deicdes to attack Lebanon, it wont be Gaza... Hezbollah will crush you like there is no tomorrow.. and you've seen evidence of that. We are trying to stay out of this Gaza Holocaust.... stay sick inside your own borders (or the ones you stole)...
11. Islamic Jihad
foi ,   Uk   (01.05.09)
Do yousee how ismanic nations gang up?
12. #10 - Don't you still have some rubble to clean up?
Andy ,   Gorgeous Israel   (01.05.09)
So STFU and get to work. Attack us again and there's more in store for you. Leave us alone and there will be peace on your borders. And you can toss around the bullshit about a holocaust in Gaza - we couldn't care less. We are going to destroy the Hamas and its ability to rocket our cities.
13. #10,Sammy boy in Beyrut. Don't really
(01.05.09)
bet on Hezbollah's crashing us ! I wouldn't go that far. I wouldn't bother about Israel attacking Hezbollah either. Unless, like cowards they always have been, they send again unsollicited rockets onto Israel. Then, my Lebanese buddy, you can bet that something's going to crash and crush - and that will be HEZBOLLAH !
14. CHECKMATE !
MILSPEC ,   USA   (01.05.09)
As we in the military community have predicted, Israel will remove Hamas's teeth while baiting Hizballah into attacking. At this time Israel will finish off Hizballah completely so Israel can attack Iran with impunity. Iran will be the final move in in this political chess game. Iran will feel the brunt of the Israeli army's power making Gaza and Lebanon look like a game of paintball. When Iran's army is decimated along with their nuclear program, the civilized world can line up single file and kiss some Israeli asses. It will be the little State of Israel that rids the world of the leaders of Islamic terror. Let it be written...Let it be said. MILSPEC has been on-point so far!
15. #10
Barry ,   USA   (01.05.09)
I can understand your feelings about the comments made, but it goes to show the frustration people feel from being under constant attack from both rockets and the falsehoods spread through the media! Why don't you just stay in your yard and Israel will stay in their yard. If Hezbollah wants the action, Israel would have no other choice but to give it to them, so again, just stay in your yard!
16. קדימה ישראל
Javier Benavente ,   Spain   (01.05.09)
If my country were attacked by muslins, probably I will hang any weapon and fight. This is the reason why we as concerned European support Israel. Good luck Israel / בהצלחה ישראל
17. where is my last talkback
proud jew ,   israel   (01.05.09)
? and who decides on what talkback to print? i didnt offend anyone except for that #10 idiot
18. Hizbullah in Lebanon is not protecting Lebanon against...
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (01.05.09)
Hizbullah in Lebanon is not protecting Lebanon against Israel. Hizbullah has already made clear that even if Israel withdraws from all disputed areas along the Lebanese border, it would not halt its fight against Israel seeking to liberate all of the land between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. Hizbullah in Lebanon is not protecting Lebanon against Israel that is eager to conclude a peace treaty with that country but protecting its own self interest which is to stay in business. The fact that Hizbullah is speaking in such terms is the latest example that Iran’s domineering authority in Lebanon is increasing and in the aftermath of the Second Lebanon War, Hizbullah has become emboldened.

19. Sami Lebanon
Matthew ,   USA   (01.05.09)
Sami, You were crushed in 2006. Only an Arab would believe that a failed cross-border attack that resulted in 1200 dead, including hundreds of Hizbullah terrorists, would think otherwise. That's why Nasrallah is hiding in his rat hole. That is why he won't touch Israel. Israel is a thriving democracy that can pummel its Neanderthal neighbors. Our eceonomy has boomed as well. We build computers and lasers, you make falafel, suicide bombers and beg for work in Dubai (they just started sending you back). Nasrallah, Assad and Ahmadinejad will do nothing. They can't. They are terrified. Say hi to Imad Mughniyeh for me. ;)
20. To #10, the barbarian, wake up
Jake   (01.05.09)
"Hizbullah will crush you like there is no tomorrow". Never forget, it is Hizbullah that initiated the 2006 war, never forget, it it is Hizbullah that has threatened to attack Israel again, and again until Israel is eliminated and "Palestine from river to sea is liberated". These are the facts that you cannot get around. Hizbullah and those who follow them, and Lebanon, will bear the consequences that follow each and every time these threats are put into action.
21. #14 MILSPEC
Chezki ,   NY   (01.05.09)
From you mouth to G-d's ears, AMEN
22. #7 Tahl
(01.05.09)
You must have a real low IQ. #5 was talking sarcasticlly fool.
23. #13 the idiot
Bandar ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (01.05.09)
How many Merkavas did you loose in 2006. We lost count after 150.
24. #12 Andy
Bandar ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (01.05.09)
There is no more rubble to clean up here. However there is some imported human trash south of our border that we still have to clean up. It wont be long though.
25. #15 Barry, USA
Bandar ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (01.05.09)
Barry Israel is still in our yard and they have a choice: Either they can leave with their dignity in tact or we can kick their and your filthy butts once more.
26. #14 you are watching too many movies
IRAN#1   (01.05.09)
The reality is Israel is not capable of even defeating the Iranian Jr Varsity teams(Hezbollah or Hamas). Iran is way to big and might for Israel, they should pick on some little irrelevant organizations their own size so they can get the kill thing out of their system.
27. Concerned Lebanese
Concerned Leb   (01.08.09)
Hizballah are run by a total idiot, we don't need that crap inLebanon. The last war was a complete disaster and we're still rebuilding the bridges. Go F yourself if you think what happened is a good thing.
