Israel: Lebanon turning blind eye to Hezbollah arms

out of fears that any Israeli response gets parsed at the UN by the usual Anti-Semites or Israel bashers.

Maybe Hizbollah and Israel should just fight it out until the last man standing. That way the fighting will end and everyone else can get on with their lives. Thats the way they used to do it a couple thousand years ago and thats how they should do it now. Now lets get to it - if you disagree then you go over there and get them to make peace - else shutup!

Well Lebanon doesn't seem to realise it is on its final warning. These complaints to the UN just don't go on forever. They'd better make sure they don't have another explosion or they might find the IDF back in Southern Lebanon.

not the official army of Lebanon.A militia that is not represent Lebanon.It is a tool foreign interests. Islamists stand for everything the left is supposed to oppose.Do these ideologically twisted haters know any bounds.?

than 5:1? You want large Islamist militias as well? Do yourself a favor look up how many men and jet fighters the Arabs have to gether compared to Israel.

so israel went out of its way to make sure the west does not arm the lebanese army...now that hizbollah is a powerful army, israel wants the lebanese army to take care of hizbollah...let me remind the IDF that the Golani squad could not beat hizbollah...you expect the poorly armed lebanese armed forces to do the job?? ridiculous!

now lebanon is back at the forefront of israeli politics, this is nohing but a show to run forward from the mountain of issues israel is facing.

Marjayoun, you should ask soon, why your heart is full of hate for a mate named Cohen Serve your colorless tea to he or she who like you need to feed prejudice in a shameless malice In Brazil I shall stay proud and happy as a Brazilian may but the more far away I may stay the more I have unpleasant truths to you convey.

What gives Israel the right to invade Lebanese airspace? and who says that Lebanese people, mainly Hizbolah don't have the right to arm? You make it sound as if Lebanon is under Israeli control! every constitution in the world guarantees the rights of freedom and the right to bear arms! isnnt Israel stockpiling weapons? please be fair

..when its forces were guilty of the same offenses....Dutch http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0801/p09s02-coop.html

"you both want there to be an Arab power with greater military abilities than Israel. You aren`t looking for Justice, you are looking for vengence and retribution" They did not say the above. "Its unfortunate and sad, good minds gone to waste, don`t you two have jobs or girl/boyfriends?" How smug you are, didn't anyone ever tell you that you don't need girl/boy friends to have an opinion and post to Haaretz? Grow up...

against Israel for the moment when the IDF permanently eliminates these "innocent" Lebanese "civilians?" Perhaps these "innocent civilians" should also consider asking their "innocent civilian" neighbors to leave or just leave themselves? Things might get a little bit more uncomfortable than the last time - no?

The coffee is good here we only serve tea even to the enemy stay away from decaf you lose your hyper since you need it take off that mask too you are far from acquiring swine flu too

Johnboy and Colin Wright. You two are actually for the rearming of Hizbollah, and you both want there to be an Arab power with greater military abilities than Israel. You aren't looking for Justice, you are looking for vengence and retribution. Its unfortunate and sad, good minds gone to waste, don't you two have jobs or girl/boyfriends? The world could be much better if those with gifted minds put them to meaningful use rather than the wish of seeing more weapons in the hands of terrorist, those who fight behind the ones they are supposed to protect.

And, Ricardo, what is your point? You bring shame to your ancestors. I a half second generation Lebanese, and disagree with you, with passion. Have yyou traveled to Lebanon? I guess not. Go there, and see for yourself what an occupying army of Lieberman and Nwetanyahu does, including a serious damage to the foundations of the Jewish State

Amazing, absolutely curtains. Hezbollah has a right to weapons, someone needs to curb Israeli Aggression, which as Ms. Durson cleverly omits, is a result of what? oh yes, things like Lebannon being a haven for terrorists. but no they are combating aggression, even though they are the catalyst or creators of this aggression. Toronto, trying to say this is a conspiracy, why would Israel tape this? perhaps, so that if the UN does dick all about it, it can then go and take over that part of lebanon to ensure that Hizbollah doesn't bide it time for when it is most strategic. Perhaps, so that in the court of world opinion it might get a fair trial. but alas, lebanon has a "right" as durson says, to fire rockets, but if the IDF uses drones because it doesn't want to take risk for lebanese people, that is unjust. No as durson would probably say with a smile, IDF must take risk, IDF must take casulaties, its unjust if only side in a war takes casualties, its "unproportional"

primarily to Israeli brutality and the civilian death toll they have exacted on Lebanon. certain Israelis have always wanted to occupy up to the Litani with their fascist Phalange mates. Moshe Sharrett stopped them in the 1950,s and they got to attack Egypt instead, occupying Sinia for a year committing yet more war crimes in the process. If the Lebanese army were stronger, as it wishes, it could help more;Israel and US have always opposed this. Another rod created for Israli backs by their own leaders.

Israel's overflights in Lebanon are BECAUSE Hizbollah is totally ignoring and contravening 1701 with regard to rearming south of the Litani - and the ineffectiveness of unifil forces in preventing this. Israel's overflights are for its own protection. Hizbollah's rearming is for future attacks. What other terms of 1701 is Israel contravening?

All Lebanon needs to do to ensure it is never attacked by Israel is to ensure that the terrorists among you keep their filthy hands off Israel and Israelis. All Israel's incursions into Lebanon have been in reaction to such attacks. Don't talk to me about rational argument.

Israel wants others to turn a blind eye on its long history of cross border activies into Southern Lebanon and bloated arsenals...... See the URl below for some of their own past violations...... http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0801/p09s02-coop.html Dutch

...unless it is used as a base from which to attack, or prepare for attacks, against Israel.

against Israel - for the time when IDF/IAF takes out these "innocent" Lebanese "civilian" areas in the next conflict?

Like the US claim the right to fly anywhere. Do you realy think they have got permission when they attacked Iran,or Sudan,somalia,and Yemen.So you claim the rights for yourself,and denys those rights for others,Typical!

Leb,most Israelis knows that,but you'll have to convinced the Israel's bashers,or better,save your time.For them there is no difference,you or Hizbollah are one.We in Israel still remember Lebanon prior to 1970(black-september) A liberal capitalistic life loving people. All that changed when the Palestinians refugees came.Nasrallah and Hizbollah are doing in Lebanon,what Ahmadinejad and the Basijis doing in Iran.We can make peace with Lebanon,but not with Hizbollah,no one can!

Some one has to defend Afghanistan,and the Taliban are doing just that.also friends of yours?.You have to clean up your own backyard(it will take years doing that,a lot of dirt.) before anyone will listens.

Now it is Israel that sounds a bit stupid. what did you expected?.How can you be surprised? The UN turn blind eye.The EU turn blind eye. Obama and Bbsn turn a blind eye,and so is Brown and Linthwait,Cowen and Labhras. Lebanon's eyes are Hizbollah's eyes,remember?. What can they do anyway,complain to the UN?They would be the laughing stock in the Arab world,and in the UN's chambers.Should they try fight them?.Hizbollah is Iran's "Muppet-show", and Lebanon is Hizbollah's"Muppet-show".

CW: "Israel`s supposed to have the right to trample over a defenseless Lebanon at will?" That's not the correct turn of phrase, which is this: nobody should be allowed to upset the strategic balance in the Middle East. An example: Israel has an all-powerful air force, so selling AA missiles would (and let's all sing it together!) "upset the strategic balance in the Middle East". Of course you are not meant to mention that the CURRENT "strategic balance" leaves Israel free to trample over everyone. Shame on you, Colin...

"Now we know why you don`t like IAF overflies, Jew haters.It`s not realy the plane that bothers you, it`s more the plane cameras that you hate" No, it's more likely the fact that Israel claims the right to overfly her neighbors at any time for any reason yet stands ready to shoot down any planes that overfly Israel....

So Israel claims the right to overfly its neighbors to keep an eye on them while being ready to shoot down any planes overflying Israel? Why does Israel always consider that it need not follow the rules other nations abide by, ChanahS? Case in point: all those UN resolutions Israel has ignored!

Of course the Lebanese people want peace. I hope your pleas eventually come to reality. Lebanon has absolutely nothing to gain by war, but before you can attain peace you have to castrate Hizbollah. Because Hizbollah does NOT want peace, and we all know why: because IRAN doesn't want peace and Hizbollah is Iran's proxy militia in the south of your country. In your post you mentioned there's thousands of Hizbollah but millions of Lebanese who want peace. But the numbers don't matter: Hizbollah is controlled by Iran which has more money (from oil) and more munitions than they'll ever need. Hizbollah is a curse to Lebanon - it's the reason why Lebanon can't have peace. I feel for you leb.

No one claims overflights cause rearming. One does not cause the other. No rearming, is purely the consequence of living next door to an avaricious neighbor. That said BOTH contravene 1701. Some of you have no concept of how to construct a rational argument.

I suggest you take a look at the places that were hit here during the war. There is enough precision to do a lot of damage. The hospital here, which was hit, can be seen from the border several miles away. They are not as random as you might think.

If anyone thinks that Israeli surveillance in Lebanon is the REASON for Hozbollah's rearming you are totally delusional. Make no mistake - it would be rearming without the overflights too - which are in place to keep track of Hizbollah's actions. Some of you have no concept of cause and effect.

Unifil waits until Hezbollah clears the house from weapons then arrives at the scene at full speed to tell the world that it did not find any proof that Hezbollah violated 1701. Now we know why you don't like IAF overflies, Jew haters.It's not realy the plane that bothers you, it's more the plane cameras that you hate. You cannot lie!

The UN is not in Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah.

acts to free the Shabaa Farms area from Israeli occupation. Then Israel will hold Lebanon as a whole responsible. Therefore Israel cannot seperate Hezbollah from Lebanon when it suits them. In this case Hezbollah who has members in the Lebanese government BtW, are doing nothing wrong under Lebanes Law and even the explosion occured in an area of Lebanon outside the jurisdiction of 1701. A reminder 1701 does not cover the whole of Lebanon, it covers an are south of the Litani River. Which is really what this is all about. Although Sky News are suggesting this is a smokescreen ahead of the discussion of the Goldstone Report in the UN.

when israel respects 1701......then she can whine about others, enough hypocrisy! on the other hand, lebanon has a right to self defense, whether israel likes it or not.

Hello cousin, you again... Thanks God, Israel has monitores South Lebanon. If not, who would do that? The Lebanese Air Force? Dont make me laugh... UNIFILL, tell another joke. Of course it must not be a great thing for Israel spend money, resources and image invading airspace of other countries. But what do you suggest, cousin? Just leave Hizbullah build a nuclear reator there or Katiyshas factories? Is this reasonable? Would any country do the same with a bunch of losers as neighbours? Come on, grow up Lebanese, be responsible for your actions and those of your citizens (all of them) and try to recover the glory of the 40s, 50s... there is time yet...

Hezbollah has always said its weapons were pointed only at Israel, though many knew better. Hezbollah even brags (although it?s not true) that they did not turn their weapons against Lebanese during the last civil war. Both of these lies have been exposed before the whole world. There may be lulls in the violence, but there will be no real peace in Lebanon until Hezbollah is disarmed or destroyed. More about Hezbollah : http://xrl.us/bkivy

"How do you think they know where to aim their Katyusha rockets to hit our towns and hospitals" Can Katyushas be aimed at such precise targets as a single building? We know Israel has such precise weapons. Which makes one wonder why so many women and kids were killed in Lebanon 2006.

Should they also keep a "closed eye" on daily IAF overflights? Or is resolution 1701 only mean to apply to one side?

The reason is, Hezbollah provides social services to its citizens that the Lebanese government cannot for lack of money. The same is true viz-a-viz Hamas and the PA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah

Forget another surprise attack.

There were no problems between Israel and Lebanon after the invading Arab armies were defeated in 1948,till Lebanon became the launching pad for Arafat after Jordan kicked him out. Now Iran's proxy Hezballah is arming while the UN,charged with observing & reporting,looks the other way. The UN has a lot to answer for around the world.

this video prove that israel was overflying Lebanon, that is a breech to 1701! case closed.

Do you really think Israel wants to grab Lebanese land? Do you really think so? Do you think Israel spends money, image and efforts just for the sake of being cruel with the Lebanese? So, why Israel doesnt do the same with Cyprus, just some kilometers off Israeli coast? Why Israel doen't invade Jordan to expand its borders? It's the most powerful contry in the region and Jordan is poor, vulnerable country. Israel could do that in one day. Lebanese never accepted Israel and has the goal to destroy it, with Hizullah or without it. Israel doesnt want to destroy Lebanon but has to survive, as any other country. Ignorance about this conflict is the root causes of this conflict.

"Hizballa`s rockets are aimed to be used against Israeli civilians, just as Hamas`s rockets have been used against Jewish civilians in Israel." Israel kills close to a thousand civilians in Lebanon in 2006, still kills and maims kids with their left over cluster munitions to this day, then does the same job in Gaza in 2008. Meanwhile Hamas killed about a dozen Israelis with their projectiles over a 7 year period. Then we have multiple accounts, some from Israeli soldiers of IDF using civilian shields in Gaza. What universe are you in exactly.

It says: "UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon Michael Williams said after meeting Prime Minister-designate Saad al-Hariri: "We are keeping a close eye on this because of its relevance to Resolution 1701." Instead of "close" eye, it should have said "closed" eye.

And you say that Lebanon is being ruled by Hizbullah without shame?? Dont you Lebanese have decency? A bunch of losers, fanatic, ridiculous people seize your army, provokes Israel, brings destruction and you just say: "yes, dude, it is like that". Are you normal people? Thanks God my grandparents left this insanity and came to Brazil 50 years ago! By that time, Lebanon was a decent country.

Do you think you've discovered the wheel by pointing out that Israel spies? Let me clue you in. Every country does it. Particularly countries that have hostile neighbors. Of course We spy on our neighbors. It's called espionage. Do you think only Israel does it, or only Israel is forbidden to do it? Do you think the Hezballah does not spy on us? How do you think they know where to aim their Katyusha rockets to hit our towns and hospitals? I imagine that if you had a non-government Iranian sponsored organization stockpiling long range missiles a few miles from your home as I do, you'd damn well want your country to exercise more than a bit of reconnassaince, too.

what this video proves is 3 things: - vital objective hard evidence that Israel is violating UN resolutions (hope that the UN uses the video to penalize Israel) - Israel is involved in the blast (very convinient to have the drone at the explosion sight, which means they knew about it) - there is absolutly no evidence of weapons hide out, they could be moving persian carpets, where are the weapons?

Please, most of the lebanese want peace, & the majority of lebanese are against hezbollah, but we will be threatenet or killed by hezbollah if we talk against them. please, we want peace, millions of lebanese want peace, even the shiites, hezbollah is only in thousands, we are millions of lebanese that want peace, but the lebanese are choked (especially the shiites) because of the hezbollah's threat. please, make peace.

just as it was silent when Hamas did the same in Gaza. Hizballa's rockets are aimed to be used against Israeli civilians, just as Hamas's rockets have been used against Jewish civilians in Israel. The UN is once again silent. But the UN will send "fact-finding-missions" and call Israel a violator of internal and humanitarian law when Israel, in protecting its civilians, will attack those weapons. How cynical can people be...??

Lebanon should thank its lucky stars that it, through it criminal gang, Hezbollah attacked Israel rather than an Arab country. There would be no one to scream bloody murder in Lebanon if it were another country. So, Israel has done plenty. It has spared a Lebanon that has attacked its citizens indiscriminately. Why, I don't know Colin. It should have destroyed every little bit of infrastructure and gone after the Hezbollah ruthlessely, irrespective of the damage to the Lebanese. If that were regarded as illegitimate then, surely now, with Hezbollah forming part of the Lebanese government, it is legitimate. Down with Lebanon, the rogue state!

lebanon is not a sovereign country. lebanon is subjugated by iran and syria and soon turkey. lebanon has a state living within its borders, a state with its own army, its own communication network, its own sixty thousand missiles. unscr 1701 is a complete farce. the corrupt un is a total farce. the eurabians, now joined by the americans, believe in the sanctity of the un. they believe that an organisation made up of majority states which are totalitarian and vile human rights abusers can be counted on to preserve world peace. history shows otherwise.

No, neither Lebanon or the UN has turned a blind eye to the rearmament of Hisbollah. Rather Israel has turned - as always - a blind eye towards Lebanon. The folly and incompetence of the Second Lebanon War was not the product of incompetence so much as willful ignorance. And that is the condition that pertains today. The established parties in Lebanon did not wish to be destroyed, disrupted and dispersed by Israel in 1982. They did not wish Ariel Sharon to destroy the delicate balance and create Hisbollah. Israel, more even than Lebanon, create the nation of Lebanon that exists today. It did so by the insane use of brute force without the slightest reason. Then, three years ago, in incredible incompetence, Israel waged war against Lebanon instead of Hisbollah, and as a result, it made Hisbollah an important party in Lebanon. There is one nation responsible for Hisbollah and that is the nation who's rapacity created Hisbollah. Israel. Which will never learn from it's mistakes.

Israel has every right to monitor enforcement of the undertakings which gave rise to the cease fire. Clearly, neither the U.N. nor Lebanon is monitoring, let alone enforcing. Those weapons are not simply being stored. They are there for a purpose and the purpose is to hurt Israel. The only unfortunate thing is that Israel didn't blow those armaments, as she could have, to smithereens. Don't forget that breach of the fundamental terms of the cease fire abrogates it.

For decades, Israel has successfully lobbied the world for a weakened and virtually defenseless Lebanese government. And apparently the people in Lebanon don't accept that. During Lebanon II, the Lebanese Army didn't play because they had nothing effective to defend anything. Leftover weapons from Korea and Vietnam with wooden armored hatches isn't much. When al Qaida and the Lebanese Army got in a fight, even Bush found that Lebanon's official Army was inadequately equipped. So he allowed some bullets to be delivered over objections. If Israel really didn't want Lebanon defended by Hezbollah, it wouldn't work so hard to make sure that Lebanon had no alternatives for self-defense.

The army is too weak and divided along sectarian lines to protect Lebanon from internal or external threats. It was sabotaged for more than a decade during Syria?s military occupation and was staffed at the highest levels with Damascus loyalists who have yet to be purged. It is a make-believe army at best, and a part-time tool of the Syrian state at its worst. More about Lebanon : http://xrl.us/bkest

we will have a major conflict again soon

What arms ? They are "IDF unexploded ordnances" from the 2006 war

read & weep: Chas. Krauthammer, "The most improbable story of the twentieth century is the return of the Jews to sovereignty in their original homeland. The establishment of a Jewish state after two thousand years of dispersion and powerlessness is an idea that just a hundred years ago, at the founding of the Zionist movement, seemed delusional. The only thing more improbable is this: That after merely fifty years of independence, the Jews of Israel would tire of it, lose faith in the enterprise, and forfeit their redemption. As things are progressing now, the collapse of Zionism may be the story of the twenty-first century.

Imagine if the Lebanese had drones flying over Israel.......

so what if Israel has nuclear (undisclosed and unacknowledged), biological, chemcial and of course absolutely the state-of-the-art weaponery? No other country in the region must have any weapons not one-tenth as modern and state-of-the-art as Israeli ofcourse. How else would this illegal usurper maintain its borrowed (from big brother USA) supremacy? and continue its illegal occupation and land-grabbing??

how come the buildin didn.t blow up where is the munition how come it didn't explode too makes you wonder why the drone was there may be has something to do with it may be a scapegoat for goldstone report?

funny about that, israel cries but defies the 140 U.N resolutions passed on it, israel bombs the lebanese to pieces then expects them to bow to any israeli order, go figure, if this happened anywhere in a western democratic nation, these people would have been locked up in prison with no less than a 200 year sentence.

I suggest that all these defenders of Hezbells get their gear together and go help out.....what a bunch of total losers..........members no doubt of the earth is flat movement..............

So easy to fake tapes and video shots. does not mean anything. IDF has no credebility at all! Besides, Hizbollah rules Lebanon, so you complain to Hizbollah about Hizbollah

There's no doubt Hezbollah stockpiles weapons south of the Litani river. The accidental explosion, death of Hezbollah's Saeed Nasser and the footage of weapons transfer proves that clearly. What has change however, is the way Lebanon portrays the news these days. 'Lebanon Now', the Lebanese largest news-site has had a major revamp. Everything from an anti-Ahmadinejad caricatures to depicting Hezbollah as anti-state. The editorial content is simply astonishing with an emphasis on the secular, cultural and progressive side of Lebanese life. The tone has changed completely from only a month ago. Here's a link... http://www.nowlebanon.com/Default.aspx

ANd who do they need to be defended against.Israel has no reason or want to attack Lebanon if they are left alone.Hezbolah has no valid reason to provoke Israel .Lebanese people have had and could have a beautiful flourishing country.If they decided to live in peace with themselves and their neighbours the could again be the jewel of the middle east.Their used to be a christian majority in Lebanon but they have been outbred and we can see the results of what this once beautiful paradise has become.

Not sure why Israel criticizes anyone for violation of UNSCR1701 - this video can only have been shot from an Israeli drone that was overflying sovereign Lebanese territory in violation of UNSCR1701!

.

Hezbollah is part of the Government of Lebanon, therefore Hezbollah is not in violation of UNSCR 1701, which of course is just another worthless UN resolution...and like who abides by UN resolutions these days anyway....certainly not Israel or Lebanon!!

from Hezbollah. They kill Israelis, they kill Lebanese, and they have munitions warehouses all over civilian-populated areas. They are a danger to 2 societies and the Lebanese themselves don't have the guts or power to stand up to them, so instead they make them part of their government with veto rights.

Aren't you tired of your repetitive rants? I am. Before I opened your post I knew almost exactly what it contained. I'm not judging the ideas, but you should reconsider your phrasing. yawn!

"you can whine whine whine all the way to the UN, but you`ll have to clean up your own backyard before anyone listens" How true; the arrogance of Israel in demanding UN action against others after ignoring resolution after resolution itself is stunning... However, arrogance and Israel are one and the same it seems...

First off, no one is exactly unaware Hezbollah is trying to rearm. Secondly, as some of the posts suggest, the natural suspicion is that Israel arranged this; mined the house and blew it up when the arms arrived, whatever. At a minimum, it suggests just how pervasive IDF overflights of Lebanon are. Those happen to be violations of the ceasefire as well. It's problematic if there can be any net gain for Israel at all. Who -- aside from those who will support Israel regardless in any case -- thinks Hezbollah SHOULDN'T rearm? Israel's supposed to have the right to trample over a defenseless Lebanon at will?

Noting 'coincidental' about it. Why do you think Israel operates drones and recce flights over Lebanon? Photographing girls on the beach? Please note that NO ONE, not the Lebanese, or Hisbollah has suggested that the explosion was the result of an Israeli strike. Hisbollah laughably blamed a left over bomblet, the Lebanese say it was a shell.

"At least its obvious that Israel is spying on its neighbours." - Toronto Violations of Lebanese airspace daily. Noting new, or unusual. "Something still smells fishy here; meaning Israel involvement." - Toronto The only thing 'fishy' is your attempt at a red herring argument.

Hezbollah would be silly not to arm themselves to the teeth. Israel has invaded and occupied Lebanon several times in the past in order to get at the waters of the Litani River, and in the process have killed thousands of Lebanese and Palestinian people. Ordinary Israelis and Jews throughout the Diaspora must put a stop to the lunacy of extremist Zionism. It will destroy Jews and Arabs alike.

...and after all you've done for them.

The corrupt corpse of the organization called the UN hates Israel. Why waste time and effort complaining to it?

is that once again , the Israeli Air Force is violating Lebanese air space....

Now that you support them hiding behind your women's skirts, surely you won't complain about civilian casualties. Some defenders you got!

The existing cease fire Israel was naive and charitable to provide Lebanon is now no longer relevant as Hizbollah has many times now broken the conditions that Israel allows for the cease fire. I suggest the IAF engage Hizbollah everywhere and anywhere they are found otherwise we will have a major conflict again with many innocents harmed.

The UN and the so called Lebanon nation has been turning a blind eye to Hizbollah's daily violations and acts of terrorism. This is nothing new as the UN has served to protect Hizbollah for decades now.

is not filmed - and even Hezbollah doesn't claim that Israel was behind the blast- so why do you ?

I'm not even going to read this article. The UN is an institution that has come to the end of its usefullness. There is little left that was the drawing card for the world after World War II. Those same prinicpals are no longer the focus of the UN member countrys. Disband the UN as an actual body with any power and let it be a debating point. That rather than the IIBC, that's the International Israel Bashing Center. Three smacks for a buck.

Dave Austin The explosion was heard till Israel Hizboallah didn`t allow UN to enter Israel recorded what Hizboallah tried to cover up! So why don`t you say thank you!

Thank you Murray.

Wake up Israel , your on your own ! Stop wasting time looking for Judas I mean allies and take care of your own .

The posts here are very funny, indeed. They see evidences of weapons, they listen to the explosions, the see Hizbullah invading Israeli territory, abducting soldiers and then they say... ah, this is only to defend Lebanon. Hizbullah is criminal, provokes Israel, brings destruction and the Lebanese government doesn't do anything. Israel is right to overfly Lebanon territory. Were not by these flies, Hizbullah would have built up a much stronger arsenal. Posts here that still see Israel as the agressor have just one subtitle: Hizbullah is important to destroy Israel. Just that.

How droll. A photograph made in violation of UNR 1701 by Israel of Hisbollah violating UNR 1701. Those naughty boys. But the problem is real. Hisbollah, the terrorist organization born of South Lebanon by way of Ariel Sharon is heavily armed. It's local militias remain a well organized and determined force with the capability of raining hell on northern Israel. The ill conceived and badly executed Second Lebanon War accomplished nothing aside from ensuring that Hisbollah was more tightly wedded to, and a much more influential power in, Lebanon. For all the gnashing of teeth, wringing of hands, and pointing of fingers it is clear that the leadership of Israel has learned nothing. Thankfully it seems the IDF has and the logistical blunders of the Second Lebanon War were not repeated in Cast Lead. The strategic blunders, alas, were. Hisbollah is deterred. It's political position in Lebanon is more important to it than harming Israel. But for how long?

lebanese will disarm hisballa israelis will return to where they belong.

very simple. Unifil scared of hetzbollah.

Since there was an explosion earlier in the building the drone was obviously directed there. Aside from that I really find your posts brilliant.

...then she can whine about others, enough hypocrisy! on the other hand, lebanon has a right to self defense, whether israel likes it or not.

How many videos, how many films, how many pictures are necessary in order to prove to the world (the civilized world)that UNIFIL,it's commander, General Claudio Graziano; the UN with it's General Ban-Ki-Moon,are a total waste.incompetent, well fed, well paid and ZILCH in accomplishments. UNIFIL reminds me of Famed Keystone Cops;always late, always clumsy,always lost,with lousy equipment and leaders to match.Those they are supposed to protect are not protected;those they are supposed to watch are not watched.Under their watchful eyes (they always wear sunglasses),Hezbollah Inc.,terrorists par excellence, succeeded in replenishing their arsenal 3-4 fold.Am I to assume that at the next war, if any,UNIFIL will increase their forces from 13-15.000 men to 30-40.000 in order to preserve the Status Quo. How is that for an encore...!

Hezbollah has at least 15 drones flying over Tel Aviv. Muhammad was flying over the Holy Land 1400 years ago on a jet powered horse. What else is new?

If your heroes are so manly as to play in the big boy games, then why do they whine so much when they get their arses kicked? Are you sure you are backing the good guys?

Let's see. Israel complains that Hezbollah is violating UN resolutions by storing weapons while they are violating UN resolutions with overflights? Hezbollah members are Lebanese nationals on their own soil, which is more than can be said for Israel.

To Durson, I assume you are referring to Israeli overflights. However, if Israel did not do that the likes of you would be whining about concrete proof, the same way they do with Iran. I am sure if you had a cannibal living next door you would want know what he is up to and when he is sharpening his knives.

ammunition and explosives, then they are legitimate military targets. The Lebanese may cry later on television about Israel bombing these military targets, but it's not for some mysterious, unknown reason they will do so.

Natalie you condone storing weopans in a house. If that's the case you cannot say anything when Israel takes action and takes that house out as it is not a civilian target anymore. Thank you for your support.

can you tell me what hetzbollah wants from Israel exept its distruction? what Israel did to nasrallah? tell me what??

Had there been Israeli involvement in this explosion, there wouldn't have been any other munitions left to take away. It was probably caused by some dumb Hizbollah terrorist carelessly disposing of his cigarette.

The fishy thing are your thoughts. Israel is being acussed for firing against civilian innocent population. Here are proves that Israel targets military or terrorist objectives. Simple as that. That means that a great deal of the accussations against Israel are biased. They are delivered by Israel haters, who hardly care about truth. This video casts doubts also on Goldstone's "Gaza report"

If by chance the goods being loaded onto a truck were weapons, who could blame those responsible? Israel has a record of invasion and occupation of South Lebanon, the push has always been toward the Litani River since the early days of Zionist European plans for "Greater Israel."

Where is the UN, US, EU or otherwise world blame? No one cares as long as it serves to harm Israel.

Israel has a drone flyig over this building at the right moment.

is people moving out of a bombed out neighborhood and the zio's using illegal fly over to record the event and call it whatever they want

without fear of conflicts, Israel decides to follow laws and restrictions only when it is applied to others (Hizbullah) or to target Iran for nuclear power, but God nothing can be applied to Israel when restrictions are to be applied to it, Goldstone report or its nuclear weapons. Israeli leaders are victimizing their people

somebody ever heard about Photoshop ?

Natallie Durson can't be serious. It isn't Israel's stated goal to destroy them, but it is for that exact purpose that these people smuggle these weapons! Seriously!

At least its obvious that Israel is spying on its neighbours. Something still smells fishy here; meaning Israel involvement.

..this is somehow going to chjange the International Lefists conspiracy against the Jewish State into sympathy for the right of Self-Defense (for Jews?) --nope...they will instead uphold the "RIGHT" of Arabs/Muslims to stockpile arms against the rascist Zionist apartheid state -ne'st-ce-pas? OPR the Hezzies themsleves will deny this footage as "doctored/invented " IDF propaganda -you can do anything with video these days,right? Why bother?It like trying to flog a dead horse--the world won't buy anything the IDF says -especially the paid off cabals at the U.N. who thrive on ganging up against Israel. Of course-anything an Arab says is 100% TRUTH ---justlike the Koran --sure it is...sure it is... I'd love a class action suit againt Islam for slandering the angel Gabriel-I'd win that case in court-but of course no court would hear the case. So why bother? THEY hold all the cards--1.57 billion of them and lots of greased hands from deep pockets.

Let me get this straight. Israel has the right to press the UN to investigate a violation? Call me crazy, but I could swear that "israel" and the united states of terror rank highest in UN violations...

And Hezbollah are the ones to do it, you can whine whine whine all the way to the UN, but you'll have to clean up your own backyard before anyone listens

Why doesnt UNIFIL have drones in the air? Isreal should have launch IAF to take out the tracks and warehouses even in populated areas. Then let the Lebs complain about israel attacking food supply trucks delivered food to a warehouse full of kids and then release this video. Enough of these games. UNIFIL is doing nothing to prevent Hez from rearming.

So what? Somebody has to take a stand against Israeli aggression. It seems that Hizbollah and Hamas are the only ones that cannot be pressured out of this task. As for the UN resolution, Hizbollah will follow Israels example and ignore any UN resolutions that they do not like.
