Arie ,   BaGolan   (08.17.10)
I would bet a month's wages that Gidon Levy, Amira Hass, Sternhell, and the Haartez editorial board are helping Nazirallah cross his Ts and dot his Is
2. J"ACCUSE ' A LA ISLAM '
silvio   (08.17.10)
The plot is getting thicker and thicker. Hariri with nasrallah's prodding, is prepared to adopt hezbo's claims of Israeli responsibility for his father's assassination. Arab perfidy at his best.;and no 007 currently in service to unravel this islamic blood bath. For all we know ( I am entitled to my own theory), Hariri son, working with hezbo, decided to knock off the Old man. ---- motives? , money and plenty of it, Power, ambition, the perfect islamic brew. A ) inherit the huge fortune, B ) replace his father in the shaky govt. C ) accuse Israel for this 'horrible' crime (that is ,after the UN commission's trail led to nasrallah). All done within the family. After all ,if member of a family can slaughter one of their member with the koran in one hand, and a knife in the other, what's a nice little bomb in keeping with the advances made in the fine art of murder. After all these years, if they were outside islamic jurisdiction, hariri jr. and nasrallah would surely be primed for the electric chair, the Guillotine or the hangman's noose.
3. Judge for yourself. 5 years later they give their report.
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (08.17.10)
After years of investigation by the special UN tribunal, ya gotta wonder why the marketing experts told Nasrallah to quickly write a report and release it now. The only thing it does is make Nasrallah look desperate....and guilty.
4. Yes, Nasrallah sat on all this evidence
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.17.10)
This doesn't even pass the laugh test. We are to believe Nasrallah sat on all this damning evidence, for all this time? When he could have accused Israel long ago? It's just a coincidence, that when the tribunal is getting ready to indict him and his cohorts, that suddenly all this evidence magically appears against Israel. The case against Nasrallah is implied in the article.and I quote: "He (Nasrallah) has strongly criticised the UN tribunal...raising fears of renewed potential conflict between the Iranian-backed militant group and the US- and Saudi-backed Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri, Rafik's son" Put bluntly, A CIVIL WAR BETWEEN HEZBO AND SAAD AL- HARIRI Confirmed again later in the same article and I quote: "he (Saad al-Hariri) said he wanted to know who killed his father but at the same time he wanted stability. "Dialogue cannot succeed with the accusations of treason" (against Nasrallah) So again, put bluntly, both side know if the truth comes out (Nasrallah is guilty) that it will provoke a civil war in Lebanon. Nasrallah is afraid of the public backlash and loss of popularity. Plus Saad al-Hariri, knows his forces are NOT strong enough to win a war against Hezbo. So for now the expedient thing to do, is blame Israel, for Hariri, he can settle the score another day. For Nasrallah, maybe he can still murder the son, at a later date, and still blame Israel. This is life in the Middle East, plots and intrigues.
5. Doesn't this say something about the UN...
Yechiel ,   HCMC, Vietnam   (08.17.10)
The UN is seeking evidence from an Islamic terrorist organization...Oi Ve.
6. "Parashat Lavon" all over again.
Avi ,   NYC, NY   (08.17.10)
Israel's world is about to cave in. Especially when discussion will start about the fate of the guy who created the video, and the Lebanese guy who was asked to drive the car.
7. With respect to Haaretz #1:
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (08.17.10)
Try getting published there in the Talkback section if you are truly critical of Amira Haas or Gideon Levy. Not a chance. By illustration, every time I have tryied to post a comment under Amira Haas' byline asking her to reveal the real reason why her beloved friends in Gaza had to steal her out quietly into Israel, the post never gets published. Ms. Haas has never fetched up, never told the true story. This is Haaretz. A quick scan of its postings shows a consistent and heavy bias in favour of negative articles about Israel. That they are allowed to publish at all is, in and of itself, a symbol of a free society although all societies must have limits and I would be personally delighted if we were to put some real limits on Haaretz such as no censoring of posters except in the cases of defamatory language.
8. Was It Given By
Brazen   (08.17.10)
judge r.goldstone?
9. Rogue Elements Inside US NSA Or US Military Intelligence
World Citizen ,   the world   (08.17.10)
providing this information to Nasrallah. There are many anti-Israeli factions in the US military. They know of Israeli treachery. If not them then who? Hezballah couldn't have an intelligence network inside Israel this deep could they?
10. rubbing the magic lamp, could bring back the genie
silvio   (08.17.10)
After reviewing all the facts, you and other papers have written regarding the murder and the son's search for his father's assassins, I came to the conclusion that Hariri Jr, will join his dad in allah's world famous paradise. I wouldn't bet a dime on him. Until he is replaced or hung in a lamp post, nasrallah is calling the shots. Bad omen for hariri jr.
11. They got their evidence from facebook
zionist forever   (08.17.10)
Hizbollah got their proof that it was Israel from Facebook. There were pictures of Israeli soldiers planting the bomb and standing over Hariris body. Its the only place they could have got the evidence they need.
12. Hezbollah may have gotten info from 3th party source
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (08.18.10)
Turkey would most likely source but Iran, Russia or even US possibly, since this could help stop a civil war there. The evidence only show Israel may have known of attack before hand but hardly proves they were behind it.
13. Hah Hah Nasrall ah!
Mr Green ,   Newcastle   (08.18.10)
The self appointed 'saviour' of Lebanon, Palestinians, Shias, Islam the world and the universe! Nasrallah goes to Suleiman and says - Hiya Suleiman - Hezbollah are the one and only holy defenders of Lebanon from Israeli attacks Suleiman says But Nassy old boy - there are no attacks Nassy shouts Fire! And Hezbollah missiles hurl toward Israel There are NOW! A few days later after the region is in flames and laid waste yet again Nasralllah calls Suleiman We have won a holy victory again... See? Without Hezbollah Lebanon would never have survived Question: What does Suleiman say next?
14. nasrallah indictment
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (08.18.10)
If the tribunal does indict Hezbollah members ,the group ,together with Shiite and Christian allies could decide to collapse the government ,exactly what Nasrallah wants hence the false ,trumped up accusations of sraeli involv ement in Hariri,s assassination ,will the Sunnis fall for this trap ,will the General Aoun (Christian traitor) fall on his own sword ,will the Druze traitor ,Jumblatt do a disappearing act and will the Maromite/Phalange community flee Lebanon in their droves ,all will be revealed sooner rather than later?
