> the majority of our Arab brothers and the majority of
> our Muslim brothers abandoned us and despite the

> the miracle of the victory that stunned the world and
> humiliated the Zionists. Those Zionists look upon
> this people in a special, unique way because they
> accomplished in the history of the struggle with them
> a special and unique accomplishment. The battle today

> is responding any time there is any operation where

> any army or any state that has borders and
> regulations. What is taking place today is not a

> state, army, political forces, regions, villages, and

> as in the resistance, the Hizballah resistance – but

> either to submit today to the conditions that the

> pressure, support, and backing it has from America,
> from around the world, and, I'm sorry to say, from
> Arabs. Either we submit completely to its conditions,
> which means taking Lebanon into an Israeli age under
> Israeli domination – in total frankness this is the
> extent of the matter – or we stand steadfast. That is

The Twins The Devil (George Warmonger Bush), Olmert, Shalom, Rice, Negroponte, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Bolton, IDF IAF Nazis, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX: "TWO FOUR SIX EIGHT LEBANSE WE EXTERMINATE !!!!! SIX SEVEN EIGHT NINE TEN DROP THE NAPALM AND THE GAS AGAIN !!!!!! SORRY TO OIL THE NAPALM, THE PHOSPHORUS, THE NERVE GAS, THE CARPET BOMBING, AND THE ETHNIC CLEANSING BY IDF IAF NAZIS BUT OIL COMES FIRST !!!!!! FILL HER UP ?????? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !!!!!!!!"

SAYYID HASAN NASRALLAH SAID: "Today, therefore, this is a total war that Zionism is waging to clear its whole account with Lebanon, the Lebanese people, the Lebanese state, the Lebanese army, and the Lebanese resistance, in revenge and reprisal for the victory they won on 25 May 2000. "

BECKY: Israel is attacking HIZBULLAH. Hizbullah, funded by Iran, continues to violate agreements made by the Lebanese government, which were to patrol southern Lebanon and keep the Hizbullah forces from firing rockets into Israel.

Israel has no beef with the Lebanese people. They urge the Lebanese government to honor its agreements. They urge the Lebanese army to patrol southern Lebanon to oust the terror groups. They haven't.

NASRALLAH freely admits to the kidnapping of the Israeli soldiers as a planned attack. He characterizes his group as "Lebanese resistance" when in reality, Hizbullah is neither Lebanese nor a "resistance" force. It has been the OFFENSIVE and UNPROVOKED ATTACKS waged from across International borders against the sovereign State of Israel and rocket attacks that are intended to kill civilians.

Israel's position is clear: return the hostages, stop the rocket attacks, and have the Lebanese army control the southern border of Lebanon as they have agreed to do.
It has NOTHING to do with the withdrawal in 2000, except that if they hadn't withdrawn, they probably would not be attacked today.

NOTE: that Nasrallah calls Israel's withdrawal in 2000 as a "victory" for Hizbullah. Rather than being seen as an overture for peace, Nasrallah calls this a "defeat" and urges more militant violence, kidnappings, and rocket attacks.

WHY has A.N.S.W.E.R. , AL AWDA, AND MECA lined up to support this murderous and war-mongering terrorist?

they call themselves "peace" groups? Really??

Are you that much of a brainless dip or do you just think your readers are? Israel has no beef with the people of Lebanon, in your view, so they should not complain about being bombed into the stone age - about losing their airport, utilities, homes, places of worship, fuel supplies or postal service. Nor about having their homes bombed or about having hundreds of civilians killed. And a Lebanese leader calls for "all out war"? Listen, fool, what do you think he and the Lebanese people are facing right now - a tea party? The all out war has already been launched by the zionist pirates.

Hundreds of Iranian Troops Fighting in Lebanon - Ira Stoll (New York Sun)
Hundreds of Iranian Revolutionary Guard personnel are on the ground in Lebanon fighting Israel, security sources say.
"I have no doubt whatsoever that they are there and operating some of the equipment," an Arab diplomatic source said Tuesday.
Another foreign source, based in Washington, said the Revolutionary Guard contingent in Lebanon is based in Beirut and in the Bekaa Valley. He said the troops usually number a few dozen, but that the size of the force increased in connection with the recent hostilities.
The sources said the Iranians had directly operated a radar-guided C–802 missile that Iran acquired from China and that hit an Israeli navy missile boat off the coast of Lebanon on Friday, killing four sailors.
The Revolutionary Guard's mission includes keeping custody of Zalzal medium-range missiles and unmanned drones.

If Israel was in the business of launching an all-out war on the Lebanese population, it would have leveled Beirut and many other cities already and killed hundreds of thousands of Lebanese non-combatants vs. 300+; it would have ensured a total cessation of utilities and services to the entire Lebanese population; it would have eradicated the Lebanese military, govt. and parliament.

Israel has confined itself to pounding your favorite band of pirate scum. That's why you're so overflowing with hatred.

As for how Hizballah is esteemed among the Lebanese, you're disregarding that much of the populace there actually resents your beloved pirates and wishes Israel rid their country of them.

most people in the Middle East wish that they were rid of the zionist entity and its constant military rampages.

I think you phrased it wrongly; instead of self defense you should have written the ability to steal land and kill many Arabs in the process of doing so. I guess it is all justified by the fact that Israeli condos now stand where Palestinians used to care for their fruit trees.

In some instances Israeli condos stand where Palestinian squatters used to care for fruit trees they had planted on land they had usurped from indigenous Jewish inhabitants.

Dear Mr. Shet., I'd be careful about throwing around remarks like that. Unlike you, I celebrated the deaths of no one. You, on the other hand, seem thrilled by a claim that the Israelis killed 100 resistance fighters rather than six.

I can't recall the last time Jews stored weapons in a synagogue or Jewish holy site in the last centuries. Hmmmm... it hasn't happened and for good reason which lies in values.

London...in case you haven't managed to figure this out, you're debating an Israeli. I'm not neutral and never made pretenses to be. Understand? If I want to rejoice in the death of your beloved Hizballah scum ("resistance fighters"? What a crock of shit!) I'll do it without concerning myself with how you might react.
I fail to see what your beloved jihadist assholes in Lebanon were resisting from May 2000 until 10 days ago as they invaded the international border twice, killed and abducted soldiers on both occasions, plus the sporadic Katyushas they fired from across the border into Israel.
Your position is every bit as hatist and irrational as that expressed by the likes of 'Sheepdog' and JA, only you refrain for the most part from offensive phraseology.
