Report: Hezbollah, Syria to join forces in future clash with Israel

I wonder if people such as you have given any thought to the exact nature of the missile arsenal both Syria and Hezbollah may have accumulated. Sufficient to turn Tel Aviv into a garbage dump? Points to ponder for those who yap so freely.

Hezbollah has killed UN troups on more than one occasion in recent months. They have been warned not to enter certain towns, and killed if they have. I'm really not sure what their role would be in a war between hezbollah and Israel.

then Lebonen and Syria would'nt exist anymore. I can't even begin to imagine what beirut and Damascus would look like, considering the 4000 degree temperture

Jake we built Tel Aviv from sand dunes. If needed we will do it again. Labanon and Syria will never be rebuilt after we take our revenge. Remember Jake in 1948, 1967,1973 we did not yap freely.

Destruction of Israel has never been in the arab leagues best interest. Most of the countries in the league have feuded if not outright warred with each other. Israel offers them a goat, and a rallying point. Case in point, between the UAE and Saudi Arabia, they could financially crush Israel. But the UAE and Saudi Arabia have been feuding for years as the beacons of rich Muslim poles of moderation, and extremism. Were Israel gone, you could conceivably see war or at least terrorist attacks between the two.

It is always amusing to see Israel supporters brag about how the IDF will slaughter thir opponents. History has shown this to be true only when the opponents are unarmed civilians. I agree, there is no army better able to deal with unarmed civilians than the IDF, BUT, when up against Hizbollah the IDF becomes a mob running back to their border leaving a trail of blazing Merkava tanks. Still, Israel supporters can cling to those victories of a half century ago, before Hizbollah existed. Those were the days.

There is no god. How can the absence of something make a choise? Let the god come and declare it to me and I'll reconcider this fact, untill then statements like that are nothing but bullshitt. But then again, you're not an Israeli, you're nothing but a hater from USA who find this war and the deatshs of innocent Israelis and Palestineans as your personal saturdaynightshow.

I have a strong suspicion you would be a lot less dismissive if you were one of the guys who will have to go in against those defenses. It must be nice to be able to say hey, guys, you go in and get killed - I'll cheer you on.

Hezbollah to hide amongst civilians to deter and israeli attack. Its a brilliant move because it ensures that Israel will come out of any war, accused of killing civilians. So Hezbollah has a nice win-win scenario going. To bad its at the expense of civilians. Hamas also comes to mind though - perhaps its a close tie. Who do you think would win that trophy Natallie?

You haven't seen Israel in their full battle mode. You don't want to see this either. But,you will. It won't be pretty.. When the full force of Israel is launched upon Lebanon and Syria look out. Just duck and cover. They may find your charred remains. But probably not. We are talking about total destruction like the world has never seen. You go ahead and brag now, because after Israel is finished with the two, you'll be stunned and very sad.

Do you think hezbollah can claim victory when Lebanon prime minister Fuad Siniora is crying on TV and urging for cease fire? Hizbollah can thanks the UN for stopping Israelis to crush them. Amid all the Arab propaganda of victory Israel is still there, stronger than before and Hassan Nassrallah is hiding in its rat hole :-)

Lebanon did not defeat Israel of the IDF. Due to the pressure on Israel they have to play with kids gloves on. If they wanted to flatten the country they would. The IDF catches the most grief in the world for their actions but they are the most civilized military in the world. When and if, the leaders in Israel finally realize that they will blamed no matter what they do.. maybe they will go back and realize that Israel as a country survived by not apologizing for surviving and eliminating the enemy

I suppose that the great victory of Hizbollah is symbolized by the fact that their noble leader lives in a bomb shelter in Beirut! Like 99% of the Israeli citizens I hate wars and our country has always been dragged kicking and screaming into a war. The campaign in Gaza - after 8 years of shelling and the complete economy destruction of 1/3 of the state of Israel. The big wars - 1948, 1967, 1973 - all happened as a result of the Arab desire to drive us into the sea. True that Israel was a part of the 1956 British/French campaign in Egypt but we didn't have much choice in that.

How funny to see two giant losers unite for one huge laugh off by the rest of the world.

Israel has never in its history attacked a neighbour first (preemptive attacks do not count), any land gained was through defensive wars only. Upon Israel's creation on land that it PURCHASED from arab absentee land owners, virtually all of its arab neighbours have since pledged to destroy and ride the land of Israel and all Jews.... where in the world do some of these people get their information?

For the rest of the world, including Israelis and Palestineans, this is a tragedy. But not for you Momma, for you its just a laugh. That shows us who you really are, what kind of person you are.

Your mind is stuck in the "old good days" with Israel's blitzkrieg wars...those glory days are gone, even Hollywood does no longer make movies a la Rambo. Your enemies are getting more adaptive and lethal, the fact is that you and your fellas could not digest yet the defeat inflicted to Israel by Hezbollah which by the way is nothing but a sign of arrogance...keep it this way it will just make you more vulnerable, blind and weak. Nobody likes war, but in case of a conflict the free world would like to see Israel defeated (don't worry it will still be there) this will change the geopolitic of the ME hopefully for good and bring peace to the region.

First, I like how people change the numbers from 700 hezbollah and 500 lebanese civilians(that were used as human shields by them) into 1200 lebanese, which then mutates into 1200 lebanese civilians. Secondly, I wonder what the people of Lebanon would say to the 'victory' they got from Hezbollah including Nasrallah's apology and their president's cry on national TV.. If both terrorist entities attack Israel, they'll just be reduced to dust as Israel showed it's aerial superiority in the 2006 war aginst syria

wake up momma legga you said it wrong if Israel keep acting the same way is acting now .next time there might be no Israel this is the 21 st century its not the 60s and 70s any more its much better to think peace''' peace is much better for all peace bring people closer to gather its time for you to start thinking peace peace -peace

It is not the Israeli leaders. You are reading and living Ali baba fantasies

The Israeli people were not told that they had lost against Hezbollah. In fact the main purpose of Operation Cast Lead was to silence those who were openly saying that Israel has lost it's deterrence Apparently Israelis and Israel firsters think that a ration of 10 Lebanese killed to every one Israel is proof that they won. not the fact that Olmnert's stated war aims were not met not one.

Indeed, there might not be a Lebanon.

It is attacking FIRST, therefore, Israel has attacked a neighbor first and preemptive strikes do count. One might ask from where you get your information.

2006 war against syria? shows what planet u live on..

Israeli preemptive attacks were based on knowledge that they would be attacked within hours, analogous to seeing a punch about to hit your face and instead of taking it and then responding, averting the punch and punching first.... that is why preemptive strikes are considered reasonable responses... simply saying "Israel attacked first" is an extremely shallow analysis and does not at all put place the event into context

If israel is defeated (as you so fervently hope) it wont "still be there" How many times do we have to hear the predictions of blood running in the streets, a mother of all massacres and all Jews will be pushed into the sea before we should start worrying. Do you really think that if there was no Israel there will be peace in the region. Just like there is a peace now in Iraq and Lebanon and Yemen and Somalia. You are so naive and uninformed.

Hizballah is shaking in it's shoes at the thought of another encounter with our army. For that reason their great "leader" lives underground in fear of his life, It is a tragedy that the Palestinian people suffer from such leadership, leaders who care nothing for their own people who have been kept in refugee camps for over 60 years. Every other conflict around the world has seen refugees finding new lives, making good homes and getting on with their future. Over one million Jews were driven out of the Arab lands without even clothes on their back and yet they were able to overcome the tragedy because they received help (either in Israel or elsewhere). Only the Palestinians have been kept prisoners in refugee camps, unable to work (Lebanon and elsewhere) and the richest people on earth (the oil rich Arabs) were not able or willing to ensure their future. But hey, no problem - Israel is to blame! You are really pathetic.

especially when thousands of rockets are at a trigger button push! the old golden war days off Israel have gone! after 2006, everything has changed

That Israeli attempts to control Lebanon in 1982 lead to the establishment of hezbollah. You reap what you sow I suppose.

they can't fight, they like any band of losers unite and both go down without a whimper. A comedy of gross errors.

Israel's war against the terrorist organizations that fled to Lebanon from Jordan following black september? Israel hardly cared for Lebanon but it did what any sane country would do when numerous attacks came from the north and families butchered at night, hurts when Israel defends itself, doesnt it?

it look like you are dreaming to much keep on dreaming

You said it very well .And when Israel is finished with Syria and Lebanon, they can mop up Iran.

It was the U.N. and the U.S. that was spewing venom to beg Israel to leave lebanon. They eventually did and the U.S. and britain that got their asses blown up after israel pulled down to the Litani River.. No, Israel had Beruit terrorized for years when they controlled Lebanon. Leave it up to the U..S. to muck up a situation and turn it in to a fiasco and a disaster for the troops that dies in the barracks that day. Never send an American unit to fight middle east wars. That's the Jew's specialty.

And, the 'world' is a coward when addressing terrorism.

what other deterent does Israel have against lunatic for neighbors? Chernoble and the Japanese can verify the facts about the fallout from nuclear effects but, only afterwards. So can the Middle East if Israel is so threatened she must use them. You better pray that the Pals don't push Israel too hard, there are many ways to skin a cat, many.

A peace treaty!

You think you can take on Iran and all the neighbouring states? Look at the map, look at the demographics. You think Israel has much left with an attitude like that? I give you a good couple of decades, and then you will start to regret that you did not make just peace.

If things go as they have been, there will not be a Lebanon or a Syria to worry about. As Iran can hardly wait, she'll be next in line for the same threats she makes against Israel. The people of these dictators hate them and as the only excude for their existence is threatening Israel, they are nothing in either support or any chance of winning anything. They are perpetual losers and should be eliminated. And, they will, it's just a matter of time. Their bravado rings hallow and empty.Can't think of one victory assigned to them in the recent past, can you? Keep dreaming dude, you'll wake up after it's too late. can you??

Nicely sums up the quality of your posts.

Your home and your life. In a 'couple of decades' perhaps neither of us will be here or, Lebanon or Gaza for that matter. Iran's begging for a fight and watch out if she gets it. Will she ever get it, from her own peple first, and the rest of the world next. The mini mouse's days are numbered.

Look at the map and demography and tell us how Israel won all it's past wars when the US wasn't even an ally yet.

Come on, people. The grandeur of the IDF is in the past. All they can do is attack a defenseless Gaza and some civilians on a flotilla. The last time they went against Hezbollah in 2006, Israel got the spanking. Now other countries aree catching up militarily, the USA is losing influence and power in the Middle East, and Americans are losing patience with an Israeli government that consistently snubs it's nose at international law and human decency!!

I suppose you consider Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria etc to be representative of international law and human decency. Israel has to deal with these kind of threats. Even the humantiarians are hijacked by Jihadists. Down in the dirt, it gets dirty.

Do they consider him a hero? A ruthless dictator.

government wouldn't give a Rats behind about Israel or the Arab world. Remember that 43 years ago the Arab world had the latest and greatest Russian weaponry. When you have better pilots and better soldiers you could be using bicycles to defeat your enemy. If the Arab world attacks Israel the counter punch will be heard around the world. There will be no UN resolutions except to disarm every Arab country like Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran.
