4. There is a story in Tanach...
Reuven Brauner ,   Raaanana, Israel   (11.11.09)
about our King Saul who failed to finish off Amalek. He left their king alive for just enough time for him to reproduce and restart the Amalekite nation. Saul's failure to fully eradicate the evil enemy by wiping out everyone of them came back to haunt him and was the cause of G-d's anger with him and his removal from office. Once Arafat was trapped in Beirut, but we did not finish him off. Look at the damage he did to us after that. We made incursions into Lebanon, but did not finish the job either leaving this foul-mouth anti-Semite alive. Now he is coming back to haunt us. We have to learn from King Saul's mistake.
5. doubt that Lebanese public agrees
ota ,   czech rep   (11.11.09)
I wonder if Nasrallah made some public opinion poll not to say a referendum about such a game. I heard there are villages in south Lebanon where there are 8 women per 1 man - thanks to wars with Israel. I believe that Lebanese people do not want Nasrallah to bring another showdown to their country. And BTW at least half of Lebanese would move abroad (to Europe or USA) if they could reach to visa. Many many many Lebanese do not want to live in their country anymore, how could they dare to die for it?
6. What's Not Be Recognized
California Bear ,   Berkeley, CA   (11.11.09)
"The enemy knows that any offensive initiated under the current conditions will ensure his total defeat, will change the balance of power in our favor, and will bring about the end of its entity." The scary thing for Lebanon is that he actually believes what he just said. For his, and his country's sake, I hope not, but the majority of Arab countries seems to buying into the Hezbollah propaganda of "divine intentions" when it comes to this group. Thus, "no matter Israel's qualitative military superiority, we can't lose". That's what the Lebanese chose. You reap what you sow. The main issue for me though is the deafening silence of so-called human rights organizations and the United Nations to the continued pronouncements by Israel's enemies, both state and non-state actors, that ISRAELI CITIES AND SETTLEMENTS ARE OPEN GAME. I don't hear the usual suspects clamoring about "war crimes" now. That's probably why Qomati is so sanguine. He understands that the "legal jihad" against Israel will save Hezbollah once more and allow it to survive, just like in 2006.
7. Nasrallah and the truth about the second Lebaness war.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (11.11.09)
Nasrallah concealed the true facts from the Lebanese people and perhaps even from Iran. Hezbollah fed reports of successes and victories to both audiences. Despite the false reports, however, Tehran likely realized the scope of disaster Hezbollah had suffered, and there is no doubt that Nasrallah himself grasped the extent of the damage that had been done to his organization and himself.

8. We should play the same propaganda game, it's fun!
JPS ,   Efrat   (11.11.09)
Why don't we have some national blahblah spokespeople who can mouth off at Hezbollah and radical Arabs like they mouth off at us? For example, Israeli political bureau chief Moshe Poopik would retort: " "The puppets of the Iranian running dogs know that any of their puny missiles will bring about a massive retaliation that will make the last war with Lebanon look like a picnic. It will ensure Hezbollah's total defeat, will leave the war criminal Nasrallah in charge of 3 donkeys to carry his remaining missiles, and will bring about the end of its entity." I'm sure there are more creative writers out there. Israel should get into a rhetoric war with these clowns - it would be much more entertaining and would also impress the Lebanese who have to listen to Hezbollah's crap all the time.
9. This guy must be high on grass or
Eric... ,   Israel...   (11.11.09)
something.If the Lebaness people want too live in peace,they must get ride of Nasrallah.
10. If you're gotta shoot, Shoot!
David ,   USA, exile   (11.11.09)
If they had the ability to destroy Israel as an entity as this bag of wind brags, they would be doing it instead of talking about it. It is the reason they live. They would become the leaders of the Arab entity. Everyone of their Psalm 83 coalition would be kissing their boots. More hot air from the big wind bag.
11. Without air defense or naval defense then they can't win
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (11.11.09)
If their missiles were guided then they would be a very serious danger but Syria is still about a year away from that even with Russian help. If Russia sells them the upgraded S-300 defense system before Israel destroys them, then they become a major problem. Hezbollah would be stupid to attack within the next year but Israel may have to attack them before that less they become to strong.
12. Israel should try the new invisible combat suits it has dev
Jo   (11.11.09)
and walk into Lebanon to disarm such rockets. Or that new wifi spy outfit they have, no need for cables at all. Hezbollah follows the time hallowed tradition of Arab talk, which is bold brave statements and threats, lies too are allowed in this bravado. Who really is in favour of a peaceful border????
13. FYI Arabs are Semitic too ... so he is not Anti-Semitic....
Shavon ,   Indiana   (11.11.09)
plus... I see Israeli Ministers are worse than Arafat... check out the death ranges cause by Israel since it started.. and check out the ones caused by Palestineans... who killed more? Israel..
14. Nuclear Weapons
Jason, Ph.D. ,   Charlotte, USA   (11.11.09)
If Hezbollah showers Israel with rockets, Israel would be much more justified in a nuclear response than the U.S. was in nuking Japan during WW2.
15. Shavon, #13
Jason, Ph.D. ,   Charlotte, USA   (11.11.09)
1. Even though Arabs are also Semites, the word "Anti-Semite" (whether it should not) referrs specifically to being Anti-Jewish. If you have a problem with this, take it up with Webster's Dictionary. 2. The reason why Arab casualties were so much higher than Israeli casualties, is because Hizbollah and Hamas delight in using civilians as human shields, whereas Israel does not deliberately place its civilians in harm's way.
16. Why are they holding back?
Sidney ,   USA   (11.11.09)
" will bring about the end of its entity." Do they have a soft spot in their hearts for Israel? Don't they even read the krap they publish?
17. Didn't he say this in early 2006?
William ,   Israel   (11.11.09)
Maybe he was just playing it cool until the big game....or following the Islamist bluff again to appease his murderous followers. And in comparison - ALL of Lebanon is within range of Israeli rockets and fighters. Now let's ask average Lebanese what they think about this maniac Nasrallah in their govt.
18. #13 Semantics aside, ur an idiot if u think Nasrallah
usa   (11.11.09)
distinguishes b/t Jew and Arab in Israel. He will be killing ALL "semites" Jew and Arab alike. He is just another example of how Islamist ideology is a threat to the entire Middle East AND the Western world.
19. Yes, you are wrigth
Felix   (11.11.09)
But if their are defeaded why do they have thousands of rockets?
20. 13 even jews can be anti semetic. what's your point?
(11.11.09)
The fact the you use Hilter's definition of 'semetic' (which was used to describe ONLY jews before Hitler's theories) says volumes about you.
21. #13 - Shavon - Are you denying public opinion now?
William ,   Israel   (11.11.09)
Anti-Semitism has always referred to racism against Jews. It has never been used as racism against Arabs, so get over your self-righteous ego and spin-doctored semantics. I will show you has Arafat was WORSE than Israeli ministers - for one, Israel has offered peace many times, one notably on public airwaves through the BBC stating they will return the land in return for peace. The Arabs collectively said NO, including Arafat. Another liberal tactic is to look at bottom-line death tolls to see who the "bad person" is. I challenge you to step outside your myopic life and ask another question - of those killed by Arabs and Israelis - how many were civilians, how many were fighters? The answer will disturb you - as it will show you're darling terrorists have targeted and killed an average of 87% civilians, while Israel is as 34%. If the Arabs decided to stop using civilians as human shields, that number would be MUCH lower.
22. Take him seriously
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (11.11.09)
You Talkbackers mock Hezbollah. How is it you all forget how, with no air defense, armor, navy, irforce or logistics, Hezbolla destroyed Israeli tanks, captured Israeli soldiers, killed 121 and wounded more than 600. The fact is that Ehud Barak destroyed the only force capable of dealing with Hezbolla, the SLA, allowing Lebanon to become a Syrian/Iranian base. With all the Talkbackers bravadoa, the fact is that more Israelis will die thanks to Ehud Barak's incompetence.
23. Finish it, in a box
Ken Mark Mann ,   Australia   (11.11.09)
Tell this Nasrallah idiot to jump off the nearest mountain, its time the proxies of iran are silenced, especially this one , I think the egyptians refered to him as a monkey sheik. whilst being silent and being slapped on his backside from lebbanon , egypt and israel, how can he now surface and talk rubbish , well, if its true , then its time he ended up in a box. And once and for all before the real fun starts.
24. DON'T HIT SHEINKIN ST. I BEG YOU
LAWRENCE RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (11.11.09)
You can hit all of Israel but please I implore save those righteous people in Sheinkin street cafes.
25. Sons of Ali, Hassan and Hussein
Marco ,   Spain   (11.11.09)
Qomati said Wednesday that if Israel attacks the Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut's Dahiya neighborhood, the organization will respond with an all-out shelling of Tel Aviv. I have predicted that few days ago and wrote several posts to that effect. I mentioned that an attack by Israel on Beirut's Dahiya neighborhood will lead to balls of fire raining all over Tel Aviv. There will be no escape except by heading westward towards the sea and beyond. For the first time ever, Israel has met more than its match. As Nasrallah said in the past, Israeli leadership is dum because it does not that it is fighting the descendents of the prohet - the sons of Ali, Hassan and Hussein. Sorry Sarah B., but its best you stay in New York, for its going to get real hot in Saviyon very soon. See you all at the hague!
26. israeli PROPAGANDA and taking civilians as human shields
Marwan ,   Amman, Jordan   (11.11.09)
when you're fighting an urban war to defend your civilian population, and the resistance is made of the very same people who live in the attacked city or town (and hence not an organized army stationed in bases) it's only normal for the resistance to fight from inside where they dwell! so stop making ridiculous lame accusations against hamas and hizbullah intentionally hiding behind their women and children! you're exactly like a child molester who blames his victim for being cute.
27. 22 Sure they can do damage-but in long run,theyll B defeated
Alan ,   SA   (11.11.09)
28. #13 Germany had more casualties in WWII.
Abba   (11.11.09)
gee, i guess that means nazi Germans were the good guys, no?
29. So what are we to understand from this?
(11.11.09)
that Hizballah has the capacity to destroy Israel, but is just holding back because it's so merciful? Please. History has shown that the The arab's delusion of power was always far inferior than their actual strength. The more Arabs bragged, the faster their defeat was. There was a LOOOOOOT of bragging back in 67. 6 days, baby. 6 F***ing days!
30. Anti-Semetic has been used to talk about jews mostly but
Shavon ,   Indiana   (11.11.09)
it also refers to Arabs.. and who said that I support any terrorist group ... cause i dont..I'm against any kind of killing... and I'm talking here about deaths caused by Palestineans and Israelis .. not about arabs and jews... and i'm not saying that I support the palestineans killing israelis either.. as I said.. I dont like any kind of killing.. but again .. look at the number of civils in palestines that were killed by Israelis.. and the number of Israelis killed by palestineans.. and see which one is more... look at videos.. there are families who are dead because "they have weapons at their hous" or " working with Hammas"... this is what the western media shows us .. look at the real stuff..and even if these kids' parents were working with anyone, dont tell me they have the right to kill these innocent kids of 8 and younger and use those horrible weapons on these kids' bodies.. there are scenes of there that I would never forget .. so unhuman stuff... and dont give me anything about arabs and jews .. I'm talking about palestineans and israelis.. and for those who think that all palestineans are muslims, dont.. cause some of them are christian too..
