1. Question
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.08.12)
Will a massive Israeli strike against Hezbollah trigger an Iranian response?
2. No limits to Iranian propaganda
Alan ,   Canada   (09.08.12)
Iranian leaders, in their efforts to convince their citizens & the Arab world which they would like to be on their side, do not hesitate to use the Big Lie so common with tyrants. They accuse Israel of being responsible of all the troubles they face from the international community. Their latest beef was the supposed hand of "zionists`` in the Canadian recent decision to expel the Iranian embassador from Ottawa & to close the Canadian embassy in Tehran. That decision was in part due to the efforts of the Iranian embassy to get Iranian emigrants to infiltrate into the government services & serve as spies. Now they even go as far as pretending that Al Kaida is an instrument of the West to control the Muslim world. The threats they brandish of using Hezbollah, their Lebanese proxy, against Israel are a big concern for both Israel & that part of Lebanon that is not on Hezbollah's side. The Iranian would have no hesitation in sacrificing any number of Lebanese "martyrs" for their objectives. And in Lebanon, many innocent victims & heavy destruction of infrastructure are the likely result of Israel reaction given the Hezbollah use of civilians as shields.
3. Today's Hezbollah Threat

Broken Record
4. Solution
Alex ,   Tel-Aviv/Isreal   (09.08.12)
How about we just nuke that craphole they call Lebanon and kill everyone all at once.
5. To all Lebanese
Steve ,   Dallas usa   (09.08.12)
How does it feel to be offered up to destruction - and this time it will be destruction - by a madman in Tehran? You can hate Israel fine, but wouldn't you rather hate Israel and live? Why wouldn't you tell Tehran to go ----themselves? They are sacrificing you.
6. Rockes from the North
shreff ,   Vienna VA USA   (09.08.12)
Hezbollah is no longer just the "proxy" of Iran. It is in fact the dominate power of the Lebanese government, and has been for sixteen months. Therefore any rocket attacks from the north will be from Lebanon, not Hezbollah, and will call for full scale war. It will be a long time before that country will put itself back together.
7. B2 are coming !
American ,   Usa   (09.08.12)
The long tail of lies and propaganda by the Iranian and Palestinians are well known now ! Enough with the baseless talks with the messianic rat mullahs they are nothing but lying deceiving psychos the world wants peace we must get rid of this evil regime in Tehran once and for all and liberate the people of Iran !
8. why is kameinie worried/
gandjian   (09.08.12)
the illegal rotten entity of kameinei, the killers of nada, is confident along with nasrollah of his ability to wipe out israel. so why is he and his aides worried about an israeli attack unless he is not sure of the outcome. He knows from history that cyrus of persian was a freind to israel back then when there was no palestine. If israel is to come, kameinei, have your plane ready to fly to moscow because nada's allies will rip your throat out.
9. Harper is right. He admits that
Harry Wright ,   UK   (09.08.12)
Iran, Syria and Hezbollah are the greatest threats to the West and to peace in the world. The EU however, does not share this view since Europe steadfastly refuses to recognise Hezhollah as a terror organisation. Time for ALL of the West to recognise these threats and remove them.
10. Retake our So. Lebanon Security Zone forever.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.08.12)
There is only one reason Israel faces danger from Hezbollah. Our lunatic retreat from our South Lebanon Security Zone. The solution is just as simple. Retake our Security Zone forever. Almost all our problems are direct results of Israeli retreats. We must get on with the job. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
11. ***Sarah***at 1,...NO !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (09.08.12)
12. BLAH BLAH BLAH
DA URBAN POET ,   SAFED OPERAHOUSE   (09.08.12)
Yawn....
13. Anyone has footage from Lebanon II ?
Jerome ,   AKL   (09.08.12)
Especially the segment where the PM of Lebanon cries to reporters about the destruction of his country?
14. Hezbollah
Henry ,   Cavite, Philippines   (09.09.12)
They call themselves "The Party of God". This is absolute BLASPHEMY. God has never come down to establish a political party let alone a party involved in terrorism. ABSOLUTE BLASPHEMY even in the standards of the Koran!!
15. Israel painted itself into corner, not even America can save
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.09.12)
...Israel now. In an Iran war, Syria will use chemical weapons on Israel, and US interests. Hezbollah will use missiles on Dimona, weapons plants, and petrochemical facilities. Iran will close the Straights of Hormuz, sink American warships, and oil will go to $300+ a barrel. Israel will use nuclear weapons. Superpowers East and West will clash, global economies will go into recession, and the entire world will blame Israel for causing this catastrophe, if Israel survives as a "Jewish State", or if Israel survives at all.
16. MAD is in play, let's see who blinks first, bet it's Israel.
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.09.12)
17. current end of dictatorships
michel ,   Ashkelon   (09.09.12)
Always the dictators sunk with their proxis.It will be also the end of Hezbolla.
18. The stakes are frighteningly high!
John Prophet   (09.09.12)
The fate of the world pivots on what happens next with Iran. Should Iran get the bomb, proliferation of atomics will run a muck as more and more nations run to build or buy there own. If Iran is stoped so will proliferations as others see the high price to pay for the effort. The stakes are huge, mankind’s fate hangs in the balance!
19. And still you watch....
(09.09.12)
Evil will not be denied. It won't go away. It won't play nice. It must be dealt with. It must be neutralized! It is written.
20. Nasrallah- soon to be

24. Forgotten something Safavi?
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (09.09.12)
Thats LEBANON you are talking about..Not Hezbollah, not Iran..but the INDEPENDENT STATE OF LEBANON Who gave you the right to decide to use Lebanon Territory as a base to launch Irans conflict with Israel? The arrogance..YOU PRESUME TOO MUCH...FRIEND! And the flaw in your calculation? LEBANESE WANT HEZBOLLAH OUT OF LEBANON 0ver 15000 Militia and possibly some 10000 Patriotic Lebanese Soldiers will use ANY opportunity to do so So whilst your Hezbollah Gangsters are busy attacking in Israel front of them...just WATCH OUT WHAT HAPPENS FROM THE BACK
25. AND A QUESTION TO YOU................#1
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (09.09.12)
And when have you decided to launch this 'massive' strike against Hezbullah?Wasn't the 2006 learnt and understood well?
26. # 5 is correct!
Josh ,   Washington dc USA   (09.09.12)
Iran is just using Lebanon. That poor country will be destroyed if Hezbollah attacks Israel first
