1. LAF= Hizballah
Frank ,   Canada   (11.25.11)
2. next war
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (11.25.11)
So in the next war, Israel will struggle against the Obama-armed LAF working with Hezbolla and the Obama-Armed Dayton's army working with Hamas. Who would have thought?
3. United front will make it easier for IDF
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (11.25.11)
4. This is to funny
zionist forever   (11.25.11)
German & US army surplus Leopard 1 and Patton tanks v Merkava 4 Some Russian surplus attack helicopters v F16's A single fighter could destroy their entire helicopter fleet. A handful of coast guard patrol boats v missile boats and submarines. The Lebanese ground forces unlike Hezbollah don't know the terrain they would be fighting on. The LAF would be wiped out in 6 hours rather than 6 days. Hezbollah is the only capable fighting force in Lebanon if it came to war with Israel. Providing lessons have been learned from 2006 and the government lets the IDF run things instead of the politicians from their offices and the IDF gets the right equipment to do the job then there will be no repeats of 2006 and Hezbollah will once again fear Israel.
5. LAF join in ? So we will cream them tooEnd
DT ,   TA Israel   (11.25.11)
6. If Russia and China do not stop the war in un
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (11.25.11)
Israel can handle both the army and the terrorists. As soon as they fight without sending anyone to cry in the un, it will be the end of the terrorists.
7. Lebanese Army
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (11.25.11)
Yes there are some die hard Hezbollah supporters inside the Army But there is just no way the Lebanese Army would be drawn into any war of Hezbollah and Irans making with Israel - whatever claims Nasrallah may make Do you honestly believe that Lebanon once again would become a pawn in Irans proxy war with Israel? Quite apart from the Army there are thousands of ready armed militia who will turn on Hezbollah should that happen again And in any case by now Hezbollahs military 'secrets' are no secret at all. Virtually everyone in Lebanon has a pretty good idea where their C and C is and where most of the missile dumps are. Ive even seen a rough map being passed around the militias and posted on the Internet of the locations of up to 106 mobile rocket launchers! (Some of which are underneath school and medical buildings and in one case underneath a garage!)
8. Good
Danny   (11.25.11)
Then none of the nonsense about how it is not a war with Lebanon but rather a war with Hizbollah like last time
9. Good more land for Israel
Robert ,   farmington,wv   (11.25.11)
Good let them, more land for Israel. That’s why Israel has all the land today, if the Arabs would behave like humans in the first place, Syria would still have the Golan’s and the Palestinians would have more. When will Israel enemies ever learn not to mess with them? Must be nice to have land to just give away?
10. Really? to number 6
Mitya ,   Belgium   (11.25.11)
Like you handled in 2006 the war against lebanon? you didnt managed to handle 3000 mens lol. Wake up from your dreams, the next war will determine your existence as a country so cut the crap !
11. @ Israeli Israel
Sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (11.25.11)
No it was Bush that started arming the Lebanese Army. I believe that Obama has stopped arming them, however I could be wrong though. On a second note why don't you blame your own government for not defeating Hezbollah when they had the chance. Israel decided to fight the war on the cheap instead of marching on Beirut to teach Beirut a lesson that you initiate a war you could lose your capital. That would of put an end to Hezbollah. So stop your racist Obama bashing and look at facts. If anything blame your own weak a$$ leaders for not destroying Hezbollah.
12. first strike necessary
Bernard Ross ,   st anns bay, jamaica   (11.25.11)
Israel should return to occupy south Lebanon and establish a Lebanese christian state, It missed the great opportunity last time. The opportunity is coming up for the remaking of the middle east through military conflict. Israel must seize its opportunities and take the initiative.
13. #1 Unfortunately, Lebanon = Hezballahstan
Tom ,   US   (11.25.11)
14. #7 I hope you're right,Sammy..I like your scenario
Mark ,   Lodz,Poland   (11.25.11)
I would love to see peace between Israel and Lebanon. We have to get rid of Hezbollah first. Salaam and Shalom to you.
15. Final war
John ,   Lagos,nigeria   (11.25.11)
Let them come,idf i belive have learned their lesson. This time arround its gonna be a difference ball game. Let the lra give the opportunity to smoke them out like a sewage rat.
16. #10
Ben   (11.25.11)
It must be a disease in Belgium & Europe called Antisemitsm or is it the Oil. Are you afraid of suffering from cold? So back to reality ! In 2006 the IDF was deep into Lebanon. I cant remeber Hezbollah close to any location in Israel. There leader was hiding and his army closed to be crushed by the IDF. After crying at the UN, as usual, Israel was pressed by his " European Friends" and their allies to stop the war on the "poor" Hezbollah . Resolution 1701 got installed and also as usual not Hezbollah nor their friends the Europeans and the "free world" gave a damn shit to control it. Thats why Hezbollah is now full of arms. But wake up its gonna be a hard fight for the IDF and at the end Hezbollah will be history and Lebanon will look like Europe after World War II.
17. #11 Sheikh
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.25.11)
The UN and outside pressure, prevented Israel from ending the threat from Lebanon, UN interfered before Israel was able to complete the destruction of Israel Last time half of Lebanon was destroyed, next time the rubble won't be worth the effort of picking through it to see what can be salvaged I don't know whyyou brought Obama into the discussion, he wasn't President at the time I think you may have a guilty conscience, with the mess Obama has created in Egypt, Syria, Libya Your space on the end cap display awaits your return
18. Can Someone Please Tell Me If u.s. Policy Has Changed?
(11.25.11)
If hizbullah is part of lebanon's Army and They Are, and Part of the government, and they Are. Why is the u.s. and their president Still Giving funds That ESSENTIALLY Go To The TERRORISTS group hizbullah??? b.H.o. What Are You Trying to do???
19. It is time Israel extends its borders!
Israeli 2   (11.25.11)
Lebanon is a beautiful fertile land. I don't mind having it for Israel up 'til the Litani.
20. Nasrallah has to act
Beary White ,   Norway   (11.25.11)
Nasrallah still do not know there are some more cia agents just beside him in his leadership....If he wants to stay alive he has to start killing his closest leadership. This is his only option to stay alive.
21. number 10,Belgium
Alon ,   Toronto Canada   (11.25.11)
Didn't my relatives and thousands of other jews and non jews have to free you're stinking little country full of cowards fromt the Germans twice in the last 100 years? ungrateful. not one Canadian should have died for your country....ever.
22. LAF = Laugh
Charles ,   Paris, FRANCE   (11.25.11)
23. Israel woud like peace with Lebanon
Barney ,   USA   (11.25.11)
unfortunately they are too weak to be in control of their own country. As far as Israel being beat in the last war, Israel only stopped because Lebanon's leader cried crocodile tears to the un and Israel got pressure to stop. Meanwhile there was nothing to stop Israel from taking the country and nasrallah still lives below the surface of the earth. some winners. just more arab propoganda and only the arabs are stupid enough to believe it as they try and rebuild their infrastructure.
24. #20 hassan sayeed nasrallah Has Only One
(11.25.11)
Choice, get real comfy in his Cave and Take out a pistol Put It To Your Small head and pull the Trigger, because if You Don't Someone will, By The Way There Are Many More Israeli-lebanese Who Want Their country back From you and your Terrorists. And they will get it back, So we can dip Our Bread into eachothers Humus, Israel Has Always Wanted Peace With It's Neighboors, It's shia' islam Who Tells Lies to the arab People. Inshallah/ Shalom
25. To Danny and others.
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (11.26.11)
As a grandson of a Christian Catholic Lebanese couple, I know well how Lebanon is dominated, today, by a radical and intolerant entitiy, named Hezbollah (God's Party in Arabic). Her government and her parliament are so weak. If Israel is attacked by those guys, she will have to react firmly. But I hope for a permanent peace among the neighbor peoples, after that domination ceases forever. The Ceddar and the Star of David must work together on the scope of a better Middle Orient and a better world. Salutes. Salam. Shalom.

Steven ,   UK   (11.28.11)
What a nonsense use of the race card - and just so you know - Obama has continued to Arm Lebanon, has allowed the MB to take over Egypt and Libya, and has sat silent on Nuclear Iran.
