Ex-MK Bishara says will head bid to try U.S., Israeli 'war criminals'

slave trade,public executions etc etc.

else is new? Don't mistake the flushed symptoms for a healthy body politic.That is what Hannah is talking about.And every Occupation,and one as brutal as the israeli one,degrades & demoralises the population.So what if the local population was enjoying itself.So did sodom & gomorah ! In any case you don't live there and your impressions can be quite superficial.Did you by any chance get to travel in the Occupied Territories?Or were you too scared?The IDF has a nasty habit of shooting first and then asking questions,you know.and if you take children with you,be doubly careful.They have made a specialty of killing children,the younger the better.Recently,it has been 11 years old.

faithfully, they all are enemies of israel, should be thrown out or put in prisons.

#102 You idiot Hezbelloh is licking its wounds from 2006. Send Nas on. Israel will wipe him out in an entire war and he knows it. He is not stupid!

Let me refresh your failed memory...Hezbollah attacked first, firing rockets at Shlomi and other points in Northern Israel...Their rockets contained shrapnel & cluster bombs...There is no such animal as disproportionate, that's a fictional wish for those on the receiving end of a retaliatory strike....In war, and this was war, each side uses anything and everything it has...As for the cluster maps, clusters are inanimate until activated...Since Hezbollah REFUSES to release any information concerning the two kidnapped soldiers, Israel certainly doesn't have any obligation to furnish the maps....Meanwhile, Lebanese can tip toe through the tulips, stepping very gently as they walk through and around the clusters.....The UN won't do dee diddly, all the do is talk, and the final result is that their resolutions get watered down or ignored....

Let me say this: you are encroaching on the territory of the only superpower left. The United States of America can reach you any where you are! Let it be said let it be done. The USA will survive as it has for all these years as well as Israel. God will protect us: try and see. The USA will destroy you.

Please Haaretz, publish my post within the 3/4 quota as mentioned by this Hannah. This person seems to be a mix of nerd and bitter. As a Christian touring in Israel during last summer I could not see any sign of weakness wherever I went: movies, bookshops, theaters, operas everything was crowed with people consuming culture. People were happy in the beachs, bars, restaurants, dancing clubs. Just by talking to anyone in the streets you say Israelis are smart and well-informed people. The economy blooming, an increasing number of academy awards... It was a big surprise to find such a vibrant country surrounded by failed autocracies... Hannah, your post is mere wishful thinking, sorry. And get a sincere advice: get a life!!

Bishara is a disgracefull person who will ignore THOUSANDS of MURDERS at the hands of Muslims but has no shame at fabricating war crimes of Israel. If ONLY Israel was blessed with Palestinians that ONLY committed the war crimes that Bishara accuses Israel of committing. Unfortunately for Israel, the ideology of Hamas and the Plaestinians doesn't allow them to have ONE-OUSANDTH of the MORALITY that Israel has.

The Security Council of the UN has to make the recommendation for suspension before the assembly can vote.However cluster bombs are legal.Indeed,the Hezbollah used them against Israel.The indiscriminate use of this weapon by Hezbollah thugs against northern Israel in concert with the lack of Lebanese efforts to control or remove this criminal gang could be a reason for suspension of Lebanon.

After investgations, the UN has concluded Hezbollah deliberately and with malice fired rockets from a UN outpost causing the deaths of UN Peacekeepers. Could we get a trial in the Hague for that war crime?

And one shia leader(bribed) does not a spring make.By all accounts Hezbollah is doing extremely well,have increased their social services,schools,and improved their military strength.

Your statement that Clickfool is a "bigoted moron" is inaccurate language and simply shocking,shocking to my senses.He is "a bigoted British moron." This is more accurate.

I think a war crimes trial would be wonderful. We could begin with the indiscriminate rocketing of Israel from the Hez's locations in Lebanon. we could then proceed to the indiscriminate use of cluster bobs by the Hez against civilians in the north of Israel.The we can proceed to the kidnapping and murder of Israeli soldiers in Israel by the disgusting band of Hez thugs.Although innocent civilians in Lebanon were killed last year- perhaps several hundred -the responsibility rests solely on the shoulders of the Lebanese for allowing the armed Hez thugs to carry out their killings and kidnappings against Israel and to the Hez themselves.

can kill them all. He said it would Hesballa hunting them down.

I doubt very much that Israel will take" a long time," however long that is "to recover from this setback."Indeed, the "setback" was more likely the elimination of the Hez from the northern boder of Israel, killing 800 of Hez's finest,destroying or capturing their bunkers in south Lebanon and doing massive destruction to Lebanon's infrastructure in its south.

Jews is not the same as Israel. One term stands for a religion the other for a country. Furthermore people are not against Israel perse but against its politics. Once Israel makes a fair(!) peace deal with the Palestinians all will be well. Think of other countries that saw the light like South Africa or Serbia (the latter will become an EU member soon).

There are plenty of nations willing to replace China as a source of killer chemicals,polluted sea food and life-threatening kids toys.But US production could very easily gear-up to produce whatever is needed, including a change of administrations.

less clever than he thought. It's a common delusion among bright people like Bishara. My sympathy Azmi. Be careful, it can be soul destoying.

What are these "war crimes"? How are they perpetrated? Are they not acts of self defense against against those who would destroy the Jewish state?The ultimate objective of those who would want to see the end of Israel is itself a "war crime." But you do not see, because you are so blinded by your hatred whenever you express yourself,your opinions lack mental clarity.

recall,after ceasefire was called for by the U.N.I million of those left unexploded,causing death and maiming civilians,especially children.To this day,israel has not given details of the whereabouts of these unexploded clusters.Radhika Coomaraswamy ,UN Rep.for children was in israle this spring asking for details. To use the bizarre terminology of war israel can be convicted for 'disproportionate' violence also.I feel Bisharat hasn't gone far enough.He should join the voices that are now calling for israel's suspension from the U.N.by a simple majority vote in the GA,bypassing the SC where America will exercise its veto.

Maybe abduct him from Lebanon and trade him for Shalit?

Trying the U.S. for war crimes in Lebanon would be about the same as trying Azmi Bishara for the 911 attacks on the U.S.

of you, other than the distortion and manipulation of what happened in Lebanon... Purposely bombing of civilian targets is EXACTLY what Hezbollah did, when they rocketed Shlomi and other cities in the North of Israel... This was done as covering action for Hezbollah's kidanpping two IDF soldiers and killing eight others... Hezbollah's rockets were loaded with slugs, to maximize Israeli civilian casualties, other rockets were loaded with Clusters... Who, but an irrational Arabist from Canada would not expect that Israeli wouldn't react in kind....If you'll bother to check the rules and regulations on "Cluster Bombs, you'll find there aren't any prohibitions in their use... Israel retured, what she had received with interest...While we're discussing rockets and such...Lebanese shouldn't have accepted payment from Hizbollah for having rocket rooms attached to their houses, nor should they allowed Hezbollah to fire the rockets from the rooms and in the vicinity of the houses..

Would you be just as motivated to prosecute Hezballa for showering Israeli towns with rockets, or bombing Israeli civilians is exempt from international law ?

"Some of us feel like unwanted foreigners in our own country, exposed to rising hatred of Jews and Israel." Calm down. Liliane - you seem to have been persuaded by Zionist posters that criticism of Israel's crimes represents criticism of Jews in general. This is not true. It is a cynical ploy by the apologists for Israel who do not want to have to explain the crimes of Israel. Far simpler to dismiss the critics as "anti-semites".

Dear Hana'le. Your concern for the death of Arab children is admirable. When Jewish children were blown to peaces you did: a: Protest just as vigorously, b: Rejoiced silently. c: Wrote to Haaretz to tell us it was all due to the 'Brutal Occupation' Let me guess.

this Nasrallah, being a Palestinian whose family is still in Lebanon being treated like dogs, and Nasrallah has done nothing but making life of people there, especially Palestinians, even worse. And now I see this collaborator, Bishara, going to kiss the feet of Nasrallah! A Palestinian going to kiss the feet of this animal in Lebanon who brought only death and destruction upon the country.

Mr.Bishara,lets deal in chronological order,try the criminal Alawi gang for their crimes against ordinary Syrians,The Egyptions for their crimes against orthodox Christians,The Saudis for their spread of hatred via their midrassas,the palestinians for their teachings that Jews are offsprings of pigs and monkeys, my o my, where do we begin, how soon ?

Adding to your ignorance is the fact that you and Arab Hannah cannot seem to understand that there is more than one Hannah in this world. There are Hannahs who are Christian,Jewish and other denominations. Why is it so difficult to understand this? And as for "a mangy mutt" you have a nerve... but then what can one expect from a bigoted moron.

If you wanna blame anyone, lets blame the jerks (left wing nuts and their enablers) who actually let this guy into an already corrupt parliament.

Go to Memritv.com and watch a leading Shia Lebanese leader blast at Hezbollah for ruining Lebanon and working with Iran.

As a British Jew it is interesting to note that the most extreme anti Israeli postings here are made by British posters. Some of us feel like unwanted foreigners in our own country, exposed to rising hatred of Jews and Israel.

I hope that Israel will cancel Bishara's pension. This guy is completely sick and clearly a traitor.

He calls Israel the "Zionist entity" and praises Hezbollah. That says all we need to know about this treasonus guy. He does a great disservice to his community he supposedly repesented, only adding to division and mutual suspicion.

There are lots of posts about Bishara's alleged treachery and how he should be tried for it ( a Barghouti kangaroo court proceeding, no doubt) but no one seems to be addressing the Israeli war crimes in Lebanon. Let me get the ball rolling: purposely bombing civilian targets and causing the deaths of many women and children; bombing infrastructure targets; dropping countless cluster bombs to injure civilians in the last hours of the war and so on and so on. Who but the most irrational Zionists wouldn't support a move to put those responsible in the dock at the Hague?

1stly Hezbollah started the war so they are the war criminals. 2ndly I thought Hezbollah won the war so what damage is Bishara complaining about. Bishara is just another whining arab who is frustrated at the strength of Israel, which continues to flourish.

DOES ANYONE REALLY BELIEVE THAT ARABS CAN STAY IN ANY PART OF ISRAEL ???

It's merely a diversionary tactic to remove the spotlight from his traitorous deeds... Let him return to the country he has betrayed, stand trial, and afterwards, when he's been proven to be innocent, he can proceed with his investigation.... Meanwhile, the rat is safely in his rat hole...

It's rather odd, you talking of honey, when you don't have the guts to depart from the safety of Australia to pollinate the Arab fields... As usual, you have it all backwards, I guess cowardice does that to a person.... You see, I left from the States to Serve in the IDF, a promise I had made to myself...Unlike you, who made a public promise and swiftly reneged and continues to hide in the safety of your homeland... Don't tell others what to do, when you won't keep your very own vows, made publicly, with much braggadacio...

Israel should think twice before admitting again Israeli arabs to the political community.

nano second to tell the difference.Some benighted poster pontificated about the former soviet union etc.The guy is living in the past,obviously. Keep blogging.Regards.

MK Bishara, go praise Hizb Praise them for starting the attack Praise them for targeting Israeli Hospitals Praise them for using illegal rockets with iron pellets in them Praise them for their role in the destruction of Lebanon They sure need your appraisements MK Bishara By the way MK Bishara you prove by praising Hizb that not Humane Rights is what motivates you, but the destruction of Israel! I wonder, what other nation would have a MK that seeks the destruction of the nation he lives in!

israel cabal will support you.The war criminals should be brought to trial.Right now,in addition to the divestment& boycott,there will be suspension of israel from the U.N. as happened with the former apartheid South Africa.A simple majority vote in the GA bypassing the SC where America will exercise its veto.

I blame the moron Carter for the rise of Hezbollah. Due to his inabilities as a US President, Hezbollah became what it is.

against His will? Has been there for 60+ years,the population has increased tenfold,the economy stronger then ever? All against his will? You sure its the Israelis staggering to the bar? When were you last there?

you are a disgrace to the name Hannah, your mother and father yes, RSO had nothing to do with, leave him out of this

then ask someone else to take the blame for that war. Nasrallah already said he was at fault and if he knew what was going to happen, he never would have started it in the first place. Taking responsibility for ones actions is not a jihadists strong point.

Nobody "won" that war especially Hezbohaha. Their "devine"victory is a joke. If reversed do you you think Israelis would call it devine, no way!. Devine, Jihad, martyr, whatever, God has nothing to do with Hezbohaha.

and behind womens skirts. Heroes who said they would not have attacked if they had known the Israeli response. Meanwhile the Israeli army is being reorganised and getting new training and weapons.

Thank you, AMJ, for speaking up. The more Israeli-Arabs that speak up, the less will be the tension with you and the less will be the calls for "expelling the fifth column." Please continue to stand up for Israel while continuing to stand up for your civil rights. Long live the Jewish State and long live its Arab Minority. Israel and its Arabs are better off without traitor Bishara.

Very well spoken AMG , if only there are more people like you, then we shall all live in peace and harmony. Wish you well

"I am convinced that Israel has become incapable of attacking Lebanon again, and that is a very big achievement for the resistance," he said. "Hezbollah has rearmed itself in the last year and perhaps is now stronger than ever, he added," according to the NNA. He did not elaborate. The how come Hezbollah lost over 500 fighters and several top field commanders to the IDF/IAF, while Israel only lost 135 soldiers. Not to mention that Mossad and the IAF nearly killed the Hezbollah leaderaship twice during the war. Hezbollah got whupped up on, just as America has been decimating Al Qaida and Iranain IRCG cells in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hezbollah, Iran and Al Qaida know all this full well, but of course they are cowards who will never admit thier defeat. Fortunately the rest of us know the real score.

You are both exploiting a great democracy established in Israel. I suggest you have to initiate a new direction in Pal Arab movement. Push to the top those leaders who think realistically, who will stop violance against Israel and the USAl,and accept pragmatic approach to the Peace. Everything what you do, guys, is just a continuation of sufferings of Pal Arabs, brcause to win battle with Israel is impossible.

Whatever your thoughts are based on, indeed there seems to be a fundamental difference between the orient and German culture. Sometimes in the middle east words just seem to be sound waves, while we here in Germany have some value called "consistency" which prescribes us to stand by our words. In me this value is still strong: Occasionally I am very ashamed of things I said years or months ago, because I couldn't stand by them or realized that I was wrong. I sometimes even expect other people to act in a way that's "consistent" with their words. Some Germans would kill or die for the strange maxims they have in their own minds rather than give them up: We're anakastic personalities. While we Germans have to learn not to take ourselves that seriously, I wish some Arabs would take themselves a bit more seriously, make an intellectual effort and thus improve their image as a future RELIABLE partner, instead of always letting off steam against some predetermined culprit, Israel or the USA.

The offer was not so terrific. It did not include East Jerusalem nor the Jordan Valley. It is unreasonable to ask the Palestians to sacrifice even more of their territory. Israel should be quite happy with what it has already.

and put to prison but we cannot prevent him entering our territory.

Bishara he does not speak for us.Most Israeli arab likes Israel Hezbollah not our friends.We live in Israel,we work and live Israel and life is good.Life could be better but this everywhere same.We see Hamas and Fatah fight here in Israel we live in peace.Maybe one day we see a Palestine state but I born here in Israel it is my country and home.We need peace and all work together christen muslem and jewish.

..... go over the facts and one cannot refute bisharas assertion.

My name is Hannah, and if any Hannah wants to use the same name it is fine with me since the unse of this name is no longer copyrighted and has been for thousands of years. But no Hannah should tell me not to use the name given to me by my mother, father and ribono shel olam.

Haaretz doesn't seem to think their readers worthy of learning about a very relevant interview with a Hizbully officer describing how badly they were beaten and how badly the combat was managed. Had the combat continued, he said, they would have had no option but to surrender.

This person should be jailed for life for TREASON!

Wow, Dr. Karol, if that's true, we'll kowtow to Bish for the rest of out lives.....

A Christian embraces war mongering Hizbollah. It is shameful for all Arab Christians. Jesus is turning in his grave.

Now Bish is busy calling us all "war criminals"..... Since he himself is white as the driven snow, it's a pity that a long incarceration awaits him here at home.....

He is on a very dangerous mission to locate the Israeli kidnapped soldiers. Bashra is not a fugitive he is something else more sophisticated . I wish him luck.

Relax Hannah. It takes a regular Talkback reader a microsecond to sort out the Real from the Fake. Just view the Fake as a mangy mutt, snapping at your heels.

"One more time,,, use your brain once in peace.. and put your guns and coffins aside" Adam, an apt sentence, that is exactly what we Israelis say to all the adversaries surrounding us.

Sneaky Bishara proved his critics right..All through the years under the flag of democracy, making it to the Knesseth, so called standing up for the Israeli Arab minority, he did nothing else than betraying his country and trampling the line between healthy democratic opposition and sneaking up from behind and stabbing in the back. Not in the least of the Israeli Arabs choosing for Israel as their country, whom now will have to endure evenmore ignorants not drawing the line between the traitor Bishara and other Israeli Arabs who are fine citizens loyal to their country and rightfully but peacefully supportive of a Palestinian state. Thanks to Bishara we are again a few steps back.

Wally, how ridiculous! Just a few yrs ago PM Ehud Barak, in the presence of President Bill Clinton offered Arafat a terrific peace plan, by all and any standards. It was rejected out of hand.

This man is nothing but the enemy of state. He should be loyal to his nation

What else is new? Of course they would re-arm. That is their raison d'etre. So what? The fact that he is lauding the issue is what matters. Perhaps he should become a citizen of Hezbollahland. At any rate, there is of course, a sizable Christian community in Lebanon, so he should feel right at home.

He souhld not be allowed to come back - just do not allow to cross our border.

"The day US restricts Chinese imports their economy will implode and crumble like a house of cards" And all those US factories that have closed down, and that previously made all the stuff that Americans are now buying from China by the bucketload from Wal-Mart, will spring back to life?

Reply to Avrum and similar copy of him. Haven't Israel tried to destroy Lebanon? Using your muscules will only fire back. Remember Hizbullah is the fruit of your previous destruction of Lebanon... Well, Hizbullah is now moderate and only fighting in Lebanon for Lebanon... Attacking with more destructive force will move Hizbullah aside for more radical group that could only talk with more sofisticated weapon... Israelis... use your brains once instead of your American guns... Have you tried peace? with true Arabs? forget Mubarak, Abdullah of Jordan or Abbas... these are popits of US and will sign anything your want them to sign... Destruction will bring destruction and exterimists.. Peace will bring peace and moderation.. One more time,,, use your brain once in peace.. and put your guns and coffins aside.

""I am convinced that Israel has become incapable of attacking Lebanon again, and that is a very big achievement for the resistance," he said." The Second Lebanese War was a bruising experience for Israel's politicians and military, and a shock to the psyche of the Israeli people, whose fond illusions about the invincibility of the IDF were profoundly shaken. It will take Israel a long time to recover from this setback and it seems certain that no further large-scale land-based military adventures against Hezbollah will be undertaken in the near future.

a hundred percent, but now that you have fled so-called Israel, you ran away from standing in a court house and stating your convictions and illustrating your innocense, I am not with you. I no long know that you have any convictions, and I am certaintly not sure of your proper and legal behaviour.

Yes Israel had the power to win in Lebanon, but not the will. Just like the Americans in VietNam, Israelis fought with both hands tied behind their backs (by the politicians). Israelis did not even have the will to prosecute Mr. Bashara and, basically, exiled him. Hisbullah and Hamas have no power (yet!) but they have the will. The question is: Who would win at the the end?

By Bradley and ACLU manipulation , coercion , pressure to make territorial and political space to baddies terror , to undermine to jewish State ,

If I were Nasaralla (chas ve-chalila) I would be wary of employing the traitor, Bishara. Once a traitor, ever a traitor. Sooner or later he'll yet come crawling back to his family in Israel.

Alas, but it seems that Bishara really has crossed over to the other side..... A traitor to the country in which he served as a law-maker, no less.

The Jordan river is fast becoming a muddy puddle and the Dead Sea is shrinking. Perhaps your brethren in Israel should follow you to America... not much honey there though, the bees are dying. The ability to count to five won't save you or anyone else, Ben. Nature is totally p***ed off with the nature of man.

a dissenting voice is not to be tolerated.... and you guys want to live surrounded by 200 million arabs! better idea, shift to crawford

""China is about to prove Mao correct, insofar as China controls the economy of the USofA, and they are able to take the US dollar down the drain at anytime they wish. Why don`t you do a bit of research before you make a fool out of yourself again for the quadrillionth time?"" Mao correct?What planet do you live on Hannah? Mao's lunatic ideology ruined China caused unprecedented famines and destruction and the death of millions .The corupt,decrepit and mafiotic comunist regime which inherited the country after his death had to adopt capitalism and beg the "paper tiger" to invest billions of US$ just to prop itself up... The day US restricts Chinese imports their economy will implode and crumble like a house of cards. As to making a fool of oneself:nobody can compete with you Hannah.Your posts are agressively over the top and childish.They reflect your prejudices rather than realities

...for your lack of history ,and ,that your Canadian.Mass killings of aboriginals when Brad ???? 200 years ago,50 years ago 10 years ago? You too are paraniod see response I sent for Ben Jabo. The I feel sorry for Israel rubbish does not wash.30 billion dollars of military aid. Nuclear weapons up to your Kazzoo and you honestly think Israel not going to survive. Also a joke. Israel needs to look outward and be a part of the M.E .Initate peace plans itself, give to those that dont have and assist those that need help in times of need.It may even be liked. Sh#t their may even be peace.

Happenes almost every time I visit. Very annoying attempt to crash my PC and/or have me down some sort of protection program. Terrorist act against my PC!

Israel like you suffers from delusional paranoia .It lives in the past ,trusts no one, and is inward thinking. Want proof?? Try this for starters; Any peace plan any Arab country has put foward to Israel in past 10 years and their has been a few has been frowned upon,looked at suspiciously, and even scoffed at because Israel does not want peace.(Genralisation you may say) Sure this can be argued to we are blue in the face but quite simply name one peace plan Israel has put foward in past twenty years.Zip,Zero,nada.Thats my point. I will keep going,name one country Israel has assisted politically socially and consistantly,once again zip zero,nada. Oh I forgot I think i read somewhere Israel gave $20000 in aid to some people that suffered from climatic weather. $20000 what a bloody joke!!!

Figure it out for yourself!

Birds of a feather should flock together

Big words!!! Convoluted grammer and rationalizations and pseudo intellectualism does not hide your detestation of the Israeli nation. But unfortunately you are not alone.Your double standard betrays you and those of your ilk. The fact remains Israel IS and WILL continue to do what it must to survive depsite all of your ravings.

I have no problem with Bishara speaking out for Palestinian rights, becuase they, like all other human beings are is entitled to the same civil rights as every other world citizen. However, this mans treason of his country condemns him. He betrayed his homeland. :(

hannah/adnan and all the other delusional people that talk about arab power. once and for all put up or shut all.

The enemies of Israel will never understand what gives it its' strength and capability to survive. They believe Israel and the rest of the world buy their lies about fictional defeats. Anyone knows, this is flat and not very smart propaganda. Israel would have ceased to exist long ago, if it was right what the agressive enemies try to make the world believe. The process of getting rid of incapable politicians, military commanders and the uncovering of traitors, like BISHARA taking place in Israel is healthy. Like by good surgeons sick parts are being removed. The static nature of dictatorships, tyrannies and theocracies looks stable but easily break in a storm- like a tree, rotten from inside! Enemies of Israel, you can't disguise your dark motives!

Why do you refer to Israel as "so called Israel"? Regardless of your agreement with policy or lack thereof, that infers a lack of acknowledgement of a country recognized by the UN. Is that what you are trying to do or is it just a trite insult? The reality is that it exists. It seems to undermine any reasonable rationality to what you are trying to say. Please, enlighted us.

Yet again, you are wrong. Mao-tse-Tung referred to US imperialism as a Paper Tiger. China is about to prove Mao correct, insofar as China controls the economy of the USofA, and they are able to take the US dollar down the drain at anytime they wish. Why don't you do a bit of research before you make a fool out of yourself again for the quadrillionth time?

At each step of the Israeli-Arabs war conflict , Arabs armies and military personel outnumbered IDF , Arabs thought they were stronger than ever , Arabs thought they could win , After so many years of arabs politics , of arabs opposition to Zionism , of repeated arabs wars aggression , of constant arabs urban terror attrition , even ex-Arab Israeli lawmaker Bishara say now Hezbollah is stronger than ever , Arabs surely keeps on coming back ,

Brad, you should know that if Israel did push the button and Lebanon was gone, the final solution would only be seconds away for you as well. And it is a good sign that Bishara is talking...Israel needs intelligent citizens like this. He's certainly much smarter than anyone currently in your government.

Wally, pay attention to domestic issues, as in Australian aboriginals who have historically benn treated miserably. You are occupying their lands and after trying mass killings you refuse to do the right thing. Leave. As to your question: "When will Israel/USA learn that you can catch more bees with honey than with a stick", the answer is when they live in a different solar system. Israel is not trying to catch bees, just survive.

Kids who are in the front line of the battle, trying to get back rocket parts, so that they can be used to attack civilians in Israel, are unfortunately totally legitimate targets. Why should Israel give up its kids for PAL kids? No, no crime against anyone, let alone humanity. Such irrational conclusion can only be based in heninous antisemitism Hannal. Its not banal. It is one of the roots of the problem and it was in place in the middle east, long before there was an Israel.

Maureen Ann meet Hannah. Hannah meet Maureen Ann.

Grow up. One push of the button and Lebanon's gone. We all know that. And do you think for one minute Israel has been sitting still? Hopefully, for everyone in the region we don't find out what the military balance is. But with a terror group, gripping the throat of Lebannon, one never knows. Anyway, Bishara is and always has been full of hot air. Its actually quite a good sign for Israel that he is talking the way he is.

""Of course: it is as though the so-called Israelis have been caught up in a consumption epidemic. They are weak. They are weaker than weak..."" Soviet propaganda used to say that American Imperialism and Capitalism are weak and on the edge of the precipice.They used to call them "paper tigers" Where are the Soviets now Hannah?

maybe they hate you.i dont have that problem

Will forever be a barrier to peace. Peace, seems not to be Israel's goal.

The "honey" was the UN Partition plan, which Arabs rejected and stung Israe by attacking with FIVE, count them, FIVE ARAB ARMIES... In conjunction with Palestinian Irregulars. Anymore great ideas from down under????

Here's a cure that I have found to be effective.. "WEBROOT" - seems to be just what the doctor ordered...I've been using it for several years..

I was only able to read to the second line of your post before I was able to see that you were up to your usual zionist tricks; ie conflating an acute and accurate critique of so-called Israel's war-crimes with the charge of 'anti-semitism'. Get off your over-used zionist pot, and argue facts against facts instead of sucking your thumb and whining. So-called Israel is guilty of crimes-against-humanity, but that in no way is a judgment against the Jewish people. However, it is a harsh judgment against each and every one of you zionists who are as responsible for the child-killing of the last week, just for an example, as though you had pulled the trigger yourself. Please do stop with this banal and trite 'anti-semitism' stuff: we all see through that paltry excuse for zionist war-crimes.

The only site on the entire web that penetrates and takes over my PC with a raging spam pop is Haaretz. Leave it to Israeli "ingenuity" to accomplish this. If this is happening to you kindly post your experience.

Haaretz: "Hezbollah's capture of two Israeli soldiers in a cross border guerrilla raid." Our killed soldiers from the same day went unmentioned. :(

tries another bit of attacking Israel. During the " 2nd Lebanon war" I felt sorry for the destruction of so many Lebanese villages and infrastructure. If there is another stupid manoeuver by Hezbollah then let the chips fall where they may. I know Israel will be hit harder this time around but there will mass destruction within Lebanon.

What planet are you 2 from. When a war ends and your 18 miles inside the enemys land. Thats a terrific indicator that you won. If the UN under Koffi Annan had not forced a ceasefire on Israel and Hezbollah think how much further they would have gone. That was also with poor leadership. So the IDF fought with one hand tied behind their backs and they still won. Now with new leadership, now with Netanyahu in the future of Israel as PM. I would say Hezbollahs time is running out. Another thing is the west is waking up to whats really going on in the middle east and they are worn out with the terrorist attacks and kidnappings. It is coming to a head and these Terrorist will be gone soon enough. Tell me Hannah if Hezbollah won then why does Hezbollah have to build a new headquarters to hide in. If they won their leadership should be out celebrating yet they continue to hide. Hannah why is that? Please explain.

Israel has only itself to blame.It has continued to think that if I continue to hit with a big stick that we can control the Arabs. Well think again. Not only is HesbAllah getting stronger so is Syria and Iran.30 billion dollars to buy more bigger sticks will only strengthen Arabs resolve to resist the hand that wants to hit you. When will Israel/USA learn that you can catch more bees with honey than with a stick.

Adnan, in and of itself Hezbollah is just a very competent group of armed Pan-Islamic anti-Jewish hate mongers. What gives strategic heft to Hezbollah is the amplification of its missile threat by Syrian and, primarily, Iranian strategic assets and the unwillingness of Israel due to ethical and perceived strategic considerations to engage in area as opposed to targetted (if intense) artillery fire. Israeli incompetence at the highest level is a self-inflicted threat far more potent than any Hezbollah's armed vitriol.

If I were Nasralla I would already appointed Bishara my lieutenant. He is an erudite in military strategy. He informs Israel about Hezbollah?s current strength.

Good post, Adnan. Keep posting; Ha'aretz will print at least 3/4 of your posts. For whatever reason, they arbitrarily cut out some posts, regardless of point-of-view. Back to the matter at hand: the strength of the oppressed and the weakness of the oppressors. Of course: it is as though the so-called Israelis have been caught up in a consumption epidemic. They are weak. They are weaker than weak. They can barely stagger down to their favourite bar or to the beach. Their ideology (aka tribal lies) is crumbling, and there is no longer any sustainable belief-system intact in the zionist entity. Therefore, no zionist knows for what or why they are fighting. Pride has disappeared. If you read these threads long enough, you will see that zionist cleverness and intelligence has also disappeared: what remains are some half-hearted, chicken-hearted dolts. As Martha Stewart likes to say: "All of this is a good thing." Regards, Hannah.

And she was a lawmaker-gooood-once more the modern twisted leftist thought allows for people who wish your destruction to vote on your laws-go figure it. And while you're at it, I think that Israel should take in refugees from Darfur, Somailia, China, the Moon, Mars, and every other bloody place in the galaxy!

This is why we could never have peace with your kind, because most of you act like this guy "Adnan", you have no brain cells, you have a lower IQ than a potatoe, Israel flatten South of Lebanon, they could have flatten the whole country in matter of minutues if they wante to. Israel could eliminate any of her neighbors with a push of a button and you retards think that bunch of blood-thirsty savages could ever win a war against Israel ? For the past 60 years, you all been saying it, but STATE OF ISAREL IS STRONGER THAN EVER and your faith of living and dying is at Israel's hands. and you live in U.K. ? Wow, go to Lebanon, your brothers need you more there.

Now Hezbollah is stronger than ever and will keep growing stronger as long as it continues to resist the temptation to sit and sell Lebanon interest as Mr Abbas is doing. Hizbollah is a fact that is not going anywhere and as it grows stronger, israel is getting weaker, though we all know that usa wants to give 30 billion weapons for israel defeat but as nuslear weapons cannot prevent defeat, same will happen to all the weapon sell. As long as Hizbollah is there israel days are numbered, does not matter you allow my response to appear or not. it to
