1. I thought Hezballa was only meant to take over Tel Aviv.

2. the Truth Comes Out In The End
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (01.19.11)
No matter what Hezbollah does it won't prevent the truth from coming out. Clearly they were involved and are making preparations for the backlash. Hezbollah was made part of the government to avoid Resolution 1701 from applying to them, since all terrorist groups were suppose to be disarmed. It was thought to be a clever way to avoid a confrontation with Hezbollah, which the Lebanese government didn't think it was strong enough to confront and win. Now that Hezbollah has withdrawn from the government, Resolution 1701 does apply to them, from the UN point of view, they should be disarmed. Plus we see how this group allegedly formed to fight Israel with attack it's own people and government. The proof is they already killed Hariri Sr., right? The funny thing is how many suckers believe in these guys within Lebanon itself. They want to live under a religious tyranny. People generally get what they deserve.
3. The newest Iranian state
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (01.19.11)
Hezbollah, as a proxy of Iran is poised and armed to take over Lebanon. I think this is an inevitable. Iranian (and others) money and a "ready to die" Hezbollah force will overwhelm the feeble Lebanese. This will likely be seen as unacceptable in the eyes of Israel and the UN. It is obvious that an army, funded by Iran, but not on Iranian soil is a win-win for Iran. The real question, is whether a global response, similar to when Iraq overran Kuwait will occur.
4. This is the result, Yes
AlbertoGA ,   St.George, USA   (01.19.11)
The Lebanese people should be more aware of the bride they take to bed. In this case it was the Devil. Now probably a new civil War is on the Horizon. Obama will not move to save Lebanon, he want to make Peace with Iran, Ayayay ! we are for an ugly new story.
5. SUPER NICE JOB AMERICA !

A simulated takeover by the forces of evil? - islamic forces of course. Your State Dept's approval, or some other "Mickey mouse" agency, for the $$100 million worth of arms to Lebanon, will come handy to hezbollah. And like hamas during their take over, expect to receive from a grateful nasrallah a thank you note. Great inprovements since ...! Your foreign policy matches Guyana's to a " T " . As far as a global response (a la Kuwait) ?. Let's not get carried away..The Russian President is in Jericho, and China's President is in Washington. Who the hell is going to lead the army of liberation ???
6. #2 The truth is known to Mossad Ask them
Chris.B ,   Australia   (01.19.11)
What proof do you have Hizbollah was involved in Harirs death? None I suspect, Looks like a Mossad CIA plot to me because Hizbollah isn't benefiting from his murder. When Lebanon is divided it is easy to be manipulated. I'm sure Hizbollah wouldn't attack the U.N .This is only done by the IDF you have the wrong army. And as for any U.N resolutions they have fallen on deaf ears in Isreal for ever so I couldn't see any reason why Hizbollah would need to obey them. What's good for the goose..... 1701 please... I decree you stop resisting foreign invaders and accept Isreal and America as your masters. lol
7. Why we dont hear from teaman, Salma etc
Rehavam ,   Israel   (01.19.11)

8. Answer is simple....
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (01.19.11)
The moment he attempts any such action - Lebanese Forces will arrest him Then see just how many of his so called supporters abandon him in droves Nobody wants to be in a sinking ship and Nassy is a dead weight!
9. cool!! checkmate for hezbollah,
Zico   (01.19.11)
the framing of hezbollah is a brilliant move. they will soon be weakened without their enemies firing a single shot. brilliant masterpiece!!!!

You are in for a huge surprise & you are going to eat your words when the truth comes out that Hizbullah killed Harari. You have a few more weeks to continue being totally blind.

12. #4AlbertoGA HIZBOLLAH WILL BE WIPED OUT
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (01.19.11)
No need to be so pessimistic.If there were to be an attempted Hizbollah take-over,the lines would be very distinct;Hizbollah and the rest. There would not be a prolonged civil war,just a short,brutal,bloody elimination of Hizbollah.Short range missiles may have some effect against Israel,but they won't do Hizbollah much good if it's fighting determined opponents on their own ground who don't have to look over their shoulders to the UN before attacking the sources of aggression. What I hear being reported is that the Lebanese are providing themselves with impressive personal weaponry.They're ready to deal with Hizbollah. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
13. If that isn't evil rearing it's ugly head . . .
noa ,   israel   (01.19.11)
Looks like Hitler all over again.
14. We do not agree with our leaders
Jerry ,   USA   (01.19.11)
Yes,,,this is true,,millions of Americans detest our current leadership. All we can do is Pray.
15. #10-11
Chris.B ,   Australia   (01.20.11)
HIzbollah does not have the support of the whole Lebanese country politcally only as a detterent force against Israel.The Lebanese army has been made useless by Israeli objections for America arming it. So Hizbollah needs other partners to have their voice politically so I can't see how the Hariri murder would be in their interest. Can you elaborate what country benefits from Lebanons division especialy trouble for Hizbollah?
16. #6 - When you're a hammer, every problem looks like a nail
William ,   Israel   (01.20.11)
or in your case, when you're a racist retard, every problem looks like a Mossad plot. Though you'll never admit it, the UN has some pretty damning evidence if they actually agreed to make public indictments of a terrorist group they won't even police per UNR1701 and risk making their Arab bloc benefactors upset. How do you know if Hizbullah did or didn't benefit from the murder? It was certainly intended to stymie the March 14 pro-Western groups and give March 8 groups a foothold in Lebanon. This murder certainly followed the Iranian plan of spreading the Shia crescent of influence, which they were caught trying to do in Yemen, Egypt, and Morocco already. As for UNR1701 - Nasrallah not only broke his agreement which led to the UNR within 1 day, but publicly stated he had no intention of following it anyway. Only reasonable to expect Israel to make over-flights after that statement, huh? My G-d Aussies are racist idiots.
17. "The UN will be Hizbullah's next target"
William ,   Israel   (01.20.11)
That's a shame. They were playing so nicely together for the past years.
18. #7 - because they're at the airport waiting for a flight out
William ,   Israel   (01.20.11)
loud-mouth racists usually bark only when they fear no retribution, otherwise they revert to hiding in shadows or running to the democracies they hate for protection.
19. #6Chris B
Erudite ,   Australia   (01.20.11)
.You are right Chris It does look like a Mossad plot. I also heard on good authority that Mossad was involved in Julia Gillard political assassination of Kevin 07 .Oh by the way the stuxnet virus was child play. Mossad apparently developed weather control that caused the flooding in QLD and as I write they have moved to Victoria. I am sure you will agree with me that the Egyptian shark attack was Mossad again. They have been involved with shark attacks in Australian waters for years. I know this for sure as I see lots of Israelis on Bondi Beach.
20. #19 Like blamming Iran for Israel's problems..
Chris.B ,   Australia   (01.21.11)
Making fun of a serious situation doesn't detact from the truth. Yes its easy to blame one party for the troubles of the world the same as Israel is blamming Iran for the fantasy of the 'SHIA' threat. There are enough Sharks in Egypt in there populus they dont need Mossad help in that department. I didn't know Mel Brooks had a son...ha ha ha
21. #6; Chris and the "One Trick Pony"
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (01.21.11)
The Mossad like Israel is a convenient scapegoat for people like you. William already pointed out some of the benefits for Hezbollah. But the report will be out soon and considering that 57 of the 192 member Nations in the UN are Muslim, this evidence against Hezbollah must be overwhelming. It also is why I ignore the Resolutions against Israel, the 57 Nations march for the most part in lockstep against Israel, so it's easy to get a Resolution against Israel. But also why there has never been even one Resolution condemning the Hamas rocket attacks against civilians all (over 10,000 so far) are considered war crimes. Yet not one Resolution against them, the obvious bias is palpable. So for the UN to release what most expect to be such a strong case that indicts Hezbollah gives it more credibility. Since they would only do that when the evidence is so overwhelming you cannot ignore or scapegoat the blame to someone else. I can wait, and we will see who has to eat their words. Right Chris?
