1. Arab mockers
Ya'akov ,   USA   (12.03.10)
Any person who celebrates the deaths of innocent humans in a forest/brush fire, is truly a creature not worth calling a human. They are swine excrement
2. There are a lot of arabs who live in northern Israel
Tamar   (12.03.10)
So, their "brothers" are celebrating? Arabs are such infantile idiots !!!
3. al-Manar is a propaganda channel, not a valid news network
(12.03.10)
why even give then a stage?
4. to Ya'akov and others
Ahmad ,   Nablus   (12.03.10)
Celbrating the death of the innocents a trait we learned it from you when you celebrated and dance out of joy on our children's corpes in Gaza, Lebanon, and the West bank..many of you had taken pictures-tophies near our childrens' bodies, so why is it good for the goose, however, it is NOT GOOD for the candor? please add me, Ahmad of nablus, is also rejoycing.
5. hizballah
sas ,   israel   (12.03.10)
typical.'
6. fire in north
alex ,   ashkelon Israel   (12.03.10)

7. ANIMALS!
Gab's ,   Montreal, Canada   (12.03.10)
Celebrate deaths of innocent peoples? It tells more than enough about this gross and completly F...k up terrorrist garbage. How about your arabs "muslims brothers"? God bless Israel, God bless all Jews Am ISRAEL Hai
8. Hard to expect anything else from the Arabs
Mike ,   Hod Hasharon, Israel   (12.03.10)
The Arabs will use every excuse to hit on Israel - until they have their own disaster and then they open their hands to the world asking for help.
9. only miserable people can enjoy damage to nature
Berk ,   Amsterdam Holland   (12.03.10)
10. Who expected anything different?
(12.03.10)
They are nothing but a bunch of blood thirsty savages - their day will come. And, when it does, Israelis need to adopt the same dancing in the street attitude - but we can't it's what separates humans from the animals.
11. #4 you say "dance" in a figuritive way, we mean in a physica
(12.03.10)
"many of you had taken pictures-tophies near our childrens' bodie" when EVER did that happen? i want proof, otherwise shut up. and no, taking a picture next to a cuffed Palestinian is NOT the same as rejoicing in the death of one. When we say you danced in the street it's not a figure of speech. you literally dance and pass out candy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9yK0u-XH1M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sBp8zot6mE That's something you definitely didn't learn from "us"., unless you're willing to prove otherwise. (What i'm expecting is the usual "i can prove it but you won't believe so i won't bother' excuse your people do when they have no argument)
12. Yes, the Israeli "can do" imagery fell through the floor....
Cameron ,   USA   (12.03.10)
on this one. It happens to states now & again. We had the Flooding of New Orleans, and you are having the the Great Fire of 2010. Nature keeps everyone humble.
13. the only innocent humans are the palestian people
Syria Eagle ,   homs   (12.03.10)
so who ever deprive them of their basic rights is what you call what ever you said second this proof that those who claim to be mini super power cannot put out a brush fire how they gonna handle nuclear war
14. Fire: Israel incompetent ?
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (12.03.10)
Anyone remember (and it is not too far back in time) the fires in California. The weather then was also very dry for a long time, then something lit a fire and the Santa Ana winds fed the fire all along California. The rich, powerful and capable Americans couldn't put out the fire. Combine arid weather conditions, dry winds and an arsonist and you'll an impossible situation. As for Hezbollah celebrating Israel's fire disaster; well, I also remember them celebrating the 9/11 disaster, too. They are so mentally sick.
15. What a hypocrisy
European ,   Germany, Berlin   (12.03.10)
Are you really surprised? So Arab should feel sorry for a nation that slaughter their kids? Typical Israeli hypocrisy...Oh sorry I forgot you are God chose people, let me bow
16. What sad people Arabs are
William ,   Israel   (12.03.10)
To gloat about a disaster in Israel because of their own racist hatred for Israelis? First, they fail to take into account that many, many Arabs live in that region and they too are adversely affected by the fire. And the drought is not just in Israel but the entire region - a tinder box waiting to go up in flames. and Second, being able to ask for help and receive is not a sign of weakness. Israel is quite self-sustainable but not existing in a bubble. The point that should make Arabs and Leftists gawk is despite the claims that Israel is isolated and hated, how quickly the world rushed to its aid, even those who profess to hate Israel. These are the same nations that Israel has aided in the past, even those who profess to hate Israel. To me, this is a huge slap in the face of anti-Israel racists and a big Foreign PR win for Israel.
17. What is obvious
David Hersch ,   South Africa   (12.03.10)
Israel will from now on have proper fire fighting equipment, chemicals, planes and plans. It should have had them already in view of the fires during the Second Lebanon War. It needs them for the next round as it is obvious elements from within the country will become arsonists and Israel will have to not only fight a war, but contain internal fires as well in her large forests. Hopefully, l;essons will be learned and Israel will in future be fully prepared.
18. Thank god...
Stan ,   Sydney, Australia   (12.03.10)
...that Israel has been given a wake-up call to correct its firefighting deficiencies, prior to its next conflict with Iran and Hezbollah.
19. what is this world coming to....????
Dino Domingo ,   Vancouver, Canada   (12.03.10)
overjoyed? any person from any religious sector that celebrates the death of people is completely inhuman and not religious at all! these people can be ready to celebrate their own eternal burning when they end up in HELL!
20. #4 ahmad
Brazen   (12.03.10)
You arabs learned from muhamid the pedophile, rapest, and teach your children this presently. Get off your high horse. Your all animals and should be deported.
21. Forest Fire Assistance
Michael ,   Eilat, Israel   (12.03.10)
Israel doesn't just need the equipment to handle this fire, it need the expertise, too, and should have made a request for such from Canada, which has substantial experience in fighting large scale forest fires. Forest fires are very different, and much more unpredictable, than building fires, as we see from what is happening up north now.
22. What's new there?
JO   (12.03.10)
did they not cheer at 2/11, or the endless buses, coffee houses, restaurants blown up? This Guy from Nablus is an idiot but Hezbo, or this guy from Nablus, does not represent all Arabs, and there are many many Arabs affected by this fire in the North. Anyone who cheers the death of others, either Arab, Jew, or others, is an idiot. As to Hezbo, it's their theology to hate Jews so why wonder. Pity them. Their children are only taught this way.
23. who cares?
Charlotte ,   London   (12.03.10)
Seriously-do we care what these morons say or how Israel looks in PR? Israel like all nations has weaknesses dealing with a natural disaster and has helped enough nations to now ask for help in return. I dont worry about how this looks to the Arabs.This cheap propoganda is all they can come up with.Not even worth an article.
24. amazement
mohson   (12.03.10)
Now is the time to focus on the fire control and not take any pleasure from it like hassan who will end up in a grave soon enough. Hassan, watch out for the defence minister of lebanon and his army who are advising idf on hezbollah positions. It is true that israel's firefighters were not adequately stocked in chemicals, personnel and fire suppression planes and that will be corrected after the incident. This has been noted by lieberman and bibi who have so far been quick and decisive. Lindenstraus had commented on the firestate in the past. Remember that livni and olmert held power for almost 4 years, and we know that olmert had no interest in military, security or technical matters as he was tired of fighting, tired of winning. His thing was finance, money, negotiations and concessions and begging the world and the US for understanding. He did nothing for the fire services, which are critical for natural fires or those caused by hezbollah rockets. Israel will take note if it was an hezbollah operative who ignited the dump outside of the druse village. Just as the fire revaged israel, so israel will learn from it and will remember hassan laughing. Hassan, you were lucky t have olmert, peretz and livni running israel last time, 3 pacifists who were tired of winning. Wait till lieberman becomes PM.
25. Fires in Greece Now Israel, Coincidence?
Concerned ,   NYC   (12.03.10)
Its amazing to see the type of super blazes now appearing in Israel, that commonly appear in Greece. Wouldn't be surprised if a common "neighborhood friend" was involved, I wouldn't expect anything less from Turkey.
26. #2 - Hizbullah hit Arab towns with their rockets
William ,   Israel   (12.03.10)
and still called it a success. So no matter how much they claim to love Israeli Arabs and "Palestinians", they're all expendable for the glorious goal of destroying the Jewish State. This is nothing new.
27. Hezbollah Overjoyed about Fire
Jackie Carlyle ,   Las Vegas, Nevada   (12.03.10)
Meanwhile, Israel is not so incompetent that it can't kick Hezbollah's ass.
28. Sad Comment
Vondo ,   USA   (12.03.10)
So Ahmad, you are delighting in the fact that your brothers and sisters are possibly about to be burned out, and/or burned up. There is absolutely no logic in this line of thinking. Not only that, you need to stop reading or listening to the false rhetoric that has been fueling Islamic hatred of Jews. You need to search and find the truth, and it's not in the Quran. It is the exact kind of comment that you made among other things that leads the world at large to think that Islam does not want any kind of peace. I encourage you to trash your facts and search out truth so that you can be an agent for peace.
29. Israel Gigafire
Geo ,   Athens   (12.03.10)
I can't forget 2007 in Greece. Israel send help to extinguish the fire and even contributed to afforestation of ancient Olympia. Gigafires plaguing our planet due to global warming are rampant. As they burn they are creating their own microclimate which is breeding them. Of course this is not an excuse for the key failings of current policies that need to intensify protective measures due to the conditions. All countries bordering with Israel, should worry for the common enemy and cooperate, because these fires can easily be exported at the other side of a fence and of course losing an ecosystem is a detriment for everybody. I am sorry for the terrible loss of human lives. I pray for you to manage to extinguish it immediately.
30. Arabs not rejoycing!
Yasser ,   Iraq   (12.03.10)
It's not true that Al-Manar, and Arabs are overjoyed by the fires. The only thing is that we (Arabs) are surprised to see Israel whom we constantly hear of superiority seem unable to handle a forest fire. Thats all.
