It is so typical that I just can't stop laughting....you people still think that jews can be killed without defending theirself....do you really think that Israel would not defend herself in case of an attack from your beloved mullahs?? are you so blind as your beloved???? LOL

The last war.. was fascinating. All the Lebanese people crying STOP!!! including the prime minister.. hezbollah bearded rat of a leader scurried to his bunker where he remains to this day...The hezbollah infrastructure destroyed.. Hezbollah notoriously tried to fake deaths and drama to put pressure on the PR war so israel would stop!!! as was well exposed by CNN and Al jazeera. Israel was moral enough to use targeted approach and not wipe out the innocent civilians used by hezbollah arabs as shields... So after every bridge and road was taken out, and every rocket launcher was blown up. israel really didnt have much more to hit.. However.. in the next war.. Lebanon knows very well that they will have much more damage. no more airport, electrical plants, water plants, ports, Government buildings, army bases, nothing will be safe from the israeli defense forces who will teach the donkeys of Hezbollah and its nutty rat of a leader another lesson. As Hezbollah are part of the government they "represent" the sovereign nation of Lebanon. What a shame to vote in such a bunch of losers. The Lebanese government are very very aware of the price of the next war... and for this reason they will not start another war with Israel ever..... unless Iran the puppet master of your pathetic leaders insists on it. It really is a case of the blind leading the blind. You should be very proud of your leaders.. NOT. I would sign a peace deal with israel and start to cooperate on all levels with Israel... A prosperous middle east is a great vision of great leader...... The hezbollah mullas are boneheads... who have an archaic, hateful caveman baloney outlook on life.. which only brings suffering to their own people. Time to change.
7. #1 Pretty stupid comment
(03.01.10)
What sad little munchkin you are...why not go over to Lebanon and join your suicidal friends? Israel isnt going away.
8. re: #1 you are right...
viking ,   oslo   (03.01.10)
hizbullah is itching for a battle, this time around it will be the end of israeili agression.
9. Whatever...
Roland ,   Kuwait   (03.01.10)
This is a typical american answer. This is an extremely evident sign that US is under Israel's control like always, like centuries. I would have laughed in her face by issuing such a dumb argument to say "we cannot prevent Israel to attack you, until you stop smuggling arms to Hizbollah". Just say it "Israel control us, so deal with it!!!"...bunch of cowards. Hizbollah might be a very hard political group to deal with, but they're part of Lebanon and they're the only ones that can defend it in case of an Israeli attack. So why not help the Lebanese Army with weaponry?? What happened to the aid? Cheers.

Leo ,   Blah   (03.01.10)
We have over 90 nuclear heads your fool if ever Iran tried to nuke Israel we would annihalate every single terror country in the middle east before we`d allow ourselfs to get nuked

christian berger ,   hamburg   (03.01.10)
no one really knows how many nukes israel's got. although expert's guesses are at around 400 to 500 pieces of nuclear warheads and various distance missiles to it, with the strength of 100x the heroshima nuke blast. the invention of multiplying the strength was also made by an israeli physician in late 70s. they have also invented the nutron bombs, which cause no damage but on small explosion set a high frequency beam that stops the heartbeats within 500 meters of impact. experts say that some of those were used in 2nd lebanon war, after they have found many fighters lying dead with no injuries, not even a single scratch. they have all been diagnosed of heart failure. conclusion: the arab countries will sooner or later have to accept it that israel is to stay for eternity. it's truly david and goliath all over again, even against iran. cheers!
12. Israel will defend itself against Islamic fascists and its .
(03.01.10)
and its European supporters. the only reason Europeans and American Leftists call Israel Apartheid regim but Caonsidser Saudi Arabia and other Islamic dictatorships like Iran real democracies and encourage the Islamists to attack Israel, while trying to stop Israel from retaliation, its because Saudi Arabian billionairs give millions to Jimmy Carter and others like him. Israel will have to defend itself against these followers of religion of peace and religion of love whose gods have ordered them to plan for genocide against the Jewish people.
13. Barak and Hillary
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (03.01.10)
Big talkers! Talk...talk....talk...talk...talk. And all the talking is going nowhere.
14. "Lebanon in a state of self-defense"
William ,   Israel   (03.01.10)
Was it self-defense when Hizbullah crossed into sovereign Israel to kidnap 2 soldiers and fire rockets on civilians near the border? Is it self-defense to tow the Iranian line and insist the goal of Hizbullah is the absolute destruction of Israel? Yes - Arab terrorism has often been justified in their own minds as "self-defense" especially when they shoot a family of young kids at point-blank range or lob rockets on to an Israel playground. But one thing is important here - the speaker admits that Hizbullah and Lebanon are now one, and will be targeted as such.
15. #9 - "Hizbullah is part of Lebanon"
William ,   Israel   (03.01.10)
"...and they're the only ones that can defend it in case of an Israeli attack" They're also the only ones giving a good reason for an Israeli attack. Without Hizbullah's racist agenda and terrorism, Israel would have no need to even look in Lebanon's direction. With Arafat and the PLO gone from S. Lebanon, it would be very quiet if not for Nasrallah. Remember - the border was quiet until Nasrallah's folly of crossing into Israel, kidnapping soldiers which he murdered, then lobbing rockets on to civilian centers. Had that not happened, we would not be having this conversation.
16. Syria will not abandon its ties with Iran.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (03.01.10)
Iran & North Korea have assisted Syrian nuclear, biological and chemical military efforts. It has funded Syria military procurement from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, China and North Korea and has supplied Damascus with Iran-made missiles, tanks, armored personnel carriers and sophisticated intelligence and surveillance systems. Iran & North Korea have collaborated in the development of ballistic capabilities. They established, in Syria, plants, which manufacture medium-range missiles and missile launchers. They have sent thousands of military and technological advisors to enhance Syrian military performance. More about Iran, Syria and the Hezbollah at : http://xrl.us/oxbo6

J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (03.01.10)
Viking ! it is natural that Norway,the country that produced the first quisling,is supporting the new quisling,Nasarala,in Irans war against Israel,Norway is a prominent member of the arab bandwagon,wishing to destroy Israel,the day is not far when Norway will be ruled by a Mullah.
18. Simple solution: Declare that an attack from ANY muslum
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (03.01.10)
country would be considered an attack by ALL muslum countries and a nuclear destruction of ALL COUNTRIES would occur. It would be the responsibly of ALL arabs to keep all terrorist states from attacking Israel as their lives would be at stake.
19. The logic of a paranoid:
Mikael ,   Gothenburg   (03.01.10)
They hate me; I can see it in their eyes, in their subtle moves. It becomes even more evident when I helped fertilize their front lawn with my pit-bull (Bob). They started a genuine onslaught on me just because I parked my van on their parking lots. They don’t seem to understand why I can’t park it on my own lot. They are totally brain-dead. The latest weeks I can feel a real threat to my person. I better arm myself with an even better gun than the one I already have. If they just do a wrong move I will shoot their tiny, hateful brains out!!!!
20. #18...all out Nuke war???
David Karp ,   Los Angeles   (03.01.10)
Are you serious. The fall out from Nuke stikes would put Israel in peril. Not as easy as it sounds or else it would of been done a long time ago.
21. To num 5
Alas ,   Toronto canada   (03.01.10)
Perhaps you need to look up the meaning of semitism. Arabs are Semites too, just as much as the Hebrews are. Also, post 1 did not mention Jews once, they mentioned Zionism, which even some rabbis consider to be against Jewish law. You zionists need to stop calling every critic of your twisted views anti semetic. It only makes you seem I'll informed.
22. hillary is in LaLa Land.......just like her zionist husband
palestinian ,   washington, usa   (03.01.10)
she and her husband are pathetic. they came from arkansas (i.e. no-where) and they want to dictate conditions to arabs? how absurd.
23. #21 - You removed all context to prove a point
William ,   Israel   (03.02.10)
Everyone knows what anti-semetism is today, despite the literal definition. It is not anti-Arab, it is anti-Jew and has been for decades. Read #1 again...slowly...and you will see he is NOT referring just to Zionists. The context which Leftists like you try to erase says it all, including that which Hizbullah always repeats. "'If there is war this time,it will be the end of the zionists." And you think those saying "I'm not a card carrying Zionist" will be left? FOOL! They are talking about ethnic cleansing, which Arabs started in 1920s, and the full destruction of Israel. You can play dumb if you want, but we know better.
24. #22- Arafat came from backwater Egypt and did same
William ,   Israel   (03.02.10)
He tried to dictate conditions to the Arabs as well, that is...after he tried to take over several countries with his band of merry terrorists. Under Clinton, you got the best deal from Israel since 1967 when the Israelis announced on the BBC the full return of land for peace. Your own Arafat (may worms eat out his insides) lied to Clinton's face and told him no Jewish temple existed in Jerusalem, but Clinton knew better and told him so. Either way - both times you gave up your best chance for a peaceful State. But I guess even rowdy children can take adult direction and must learn on their own. Ready for another 61 years?
25. To #6
Clay ,   Murfreesboro, TN USA   (03.02.10)
Please don't insult donkeys by comparing them to Hezbollah.
26. That's like saying that people are only considered black if
Alas ,   Toronto canada   (03.02.10)
They come from the Caribbean. It makes no sense. Semites are Arabs and Hebrews. Judiasm is a religon not a culture. To be anti semetic is to bash the Arabic and Hebrew people it does not mean only Jews. Also, Zionism is discusting and has no place in the middle east. Does that mean I'm anti semetic or anti Jewish? No. Zionism is a view that is not shared among all Jews. Do not call me a fool, you need to look up definitions. Ethnic cleansing? Was it the Arabs who ethnically cleansed all of Palestine and are ethnically cleansing Jerusalem? Or the Zionists? The point of the matter is zionists label anyone who is against the sick ways of Zionism as anti semetic because it's easier to criminalize them. It's a very cowardly act.
27. So Lebanon
Hmmm ,   US   (03.02.10)
thinks it reasonable to demand that a sovereign country not arm itself in exchange for stopping smuggling by a terrorist organization? wow.
28. #13 Carabou Barbie (Steven Wilson)
Hal ,   Usa   (03.03.10)
Hey Sarah, who the hell asked you? What's the matter, global warming got you down? Nothing going on up in the tundra? When I want your opinion, I'll give it to ya! wink wink Takes one to know one!
29. to those in the4 middle east
Helen ,   Edmonton Canada   (03.03.10)
the USA is not only using the jews but they are hoping for more wars between the jews and the arabs.isrl is also to blame for the situation in isrl. u see when war breaks out the US is not being attacked on her own land. what isrl and the arabs need to do is unite and attack the US. after all they are the ones who are using you. the jews need tos top thinking they can get away with mufder and theft because in the end the US will take you out, and the arabs need to stop fighting the jews to keep the american war machine from getting richer. so in other words both peoples need to unite once and for all and take out the true culprit, the US corporate gov'ts.
30. Re:25 clay.
Helen ,   Edmonton Canada   (03.03.10)
because hezbollah defends its people doesn't make them terrorists, but nationals to lebanon. and since the US refuses to recognize this they alone have made sure that they r labeled terrorists. but the fact is they are not terrorists, they defend their country from the zionists of isrl, a gov't who attacked civilians, because they know they can get the US zionist regime, to protect them. in other words u are being used and brainwashed by the same people who support terrorists around the world to make sure war never ends. wake up already, your not as smart as you think you are. there is nothing wrong with defending your nation. isrl does not have exclusive rights to self defense.
