In 1982 the PLO was trying to launch a war from Lebanon. Guess what - they succeeded! Yea, we should have pulled out of Lebanon years ago - our mistake. However, the Lebanese are the ones complaining more about Hezbollah than us Israelis. They don't want to live in an Iranian puppet state. You seem to be making up fairy tales by saying that the IDF was on its way to Beirut in 2006. Marco, you silly leftist Che Gueverra loving nudnik - that wasn't in the plans at all and everybody seems to know it except you. No, you didn't see a Lebanese fighter crying, but we saw thousands of Lebanese civilians crying - the victims of a needless war started by Hezbollah. Yes, really. Lebanon would be better off without Hezbollah and their Iranian masters. It would also be better off without the one million illegal Syrian settlers who are still there, but you obviously don't care about Lebanon - just about bashing us nasty Zionists. Quick - go give your Nasrallah poster a kiss.

The writer seems naive to give any credence to the Saudi 'peace' crap. The fact is anything arising from the Wahhabhist kingdom is a recipe for the destruction of Israel. True peace can only be achieved based on what Israel wants and NOT based on the cesspool of Wahhabhism and Islamist-Jihadism. Israel should not be fooled by the 'peace' crap emanating from the wolves and tigers of the region. Learn from what Alexis de Tocqueville, John Wesley and Winston Churchill have to say about Islam. (Read "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam" by Robert Spencer).

How would you go to Gaza, if you are a coward?! You know the man is either a brave or a coward ;) you write "Hezbollah, which occupies southern Lebanon and threatens the stability of the country"... dear Brian, are you kidding ? you think that Hezbollah are Indians or came from the Comoros?! they are Lebanese, whether you like it or not. Brian Cohen, If you become SANE, and told the facts as they are, I'll buy the coffee for you, PROMISE.

Go for Nasrallah Few will shed any tears (bar tears of joy) And the world will be a much better place Inshallah!

Marco you are living in an anti-semetic dream! 1982-First of all the real legitamite Lebanese asked Israel for help dealing with the PLO who started a civil war (they with the Syrian settlers against the indigenous Christian Lebanese(Pheonician)). The Lebanese worked together WITH ISrael to rid the country of Hezbullah/Syrian/Iranian group. They tortured the Lebanese horrorificaly, The favorite PLO tactic was to take a Christian Lebanese..rape her and then slaughter every one by cutting of f one joint at a time with a chain saw. Moreover, the PLO/Hezbullah were attacking ISrael fro Lebanon. 2006- Again, Israel was attacked by the violent occupaying force of Hezbullah (<--a Syrian and Iranian proxy army). If there were no Hezbullah there would be more stability and very likely a peace treaty between Israel and Lebanon. Also, due to cruelty of the inquisition in your country (Port.) against the peaceful Jews your country has a minimum Jewish population of 20%. Though they were forced converted. Some fled to South America and a few came back home to ISrael 500 years ago.

You lost me... isn't Kenafa Nabulsiyah from Nablus? I've been to Gaza many times, the only thing stopping me now is that Israelis are not allowed into Gaza. Why don't you talk to your buddy Haniya and get me a special permit (so I won't get kidnapped). And as for Hezbollah, of course they are Lebanese. I never said they weren't. But their money, their training and their weapons all come from Iran - along with their sick philosophy that they should be the only people running Lebanon and democracy is for us western infidels. All factual, Salma dear. Hezbollah refuses calls from the Lebanese government to join the Lebanese army. Hezbollah tries to overthrow the government in Beirut, not us mild mannered folks in the high hills of Judea. By the way, you're invited for a slice of pizza at the new supermarket here - more popular with the Palestinians than it is with the Israelis! What a beautiful example of coexistence it is - Jews and Arabs working together, shopping together, parking in the parking lot together. And soon to eat pizza together when the pizza store opens soon. Bring the coffee , I'll buy the pizza...

Just don't leave the business in Lebanon unfinished again, especially business about the big fat rat, hiding in the sewage..

The English is so poor that the article is so poor that it is almost not understandable!! The run on sentences, and slang etc does show linguistic errors that are corrected in freshman English composition classes
