Lebanon asks U.S. to reverse ban on Hezbollah TV channel

Are you seriously asking that question? Every war started by the US and israel targets civilians with the lowest disregard for life. You obviously need to get out and read more, there's more going on than what you hear on fox news...

dear oh dear lynn, talk about ignorance, did you know that al-manar actually covered the 9/11 and denounced the attack? did you also know that al-manar is more freedom of speech than any other american news on air today?, did you also know that al-manar has won many coveted awards than many others?, did you also know that al-manar has many public support as it has shows and talkbacks that teach kids about the bad things on drugs, woman beating, alcoholasim and so on?, no? then shut up, cause thats exactly what they do, they report the real story unlike the lies of the american so called news.

Terrorists are not condoned in the USA.

...ignorant! Isn't that right, John Public?

Why do you find vik or anyone else supporting Israel strange? Israel is not the problem. Perhaps the Oz person you represent is.... the Scarecrow?

They are asking McCain? They cannot be serious. Or are they really that oblivious of American politics? Regardless, no American - politician or not - can or should even think about this silly demand/request. Why not also allow ads for terrorists on regular US TV stations?

oh wow, no wonder the US is becoming irrelevant and obsolete, this question is incredibly stupid. Vik, buddy Dare to dream, stop watching fox news and discern for yourself. "Give me an example where israel or US attack civilians on purpose? Give me a single example." Ever heard of palestine? the uss cole? south lebanon? the three thousand page report by the jewish judge who asserted that israel commited war crimes and crimes against humanity? the hundreds of resolutions ( more than any other country ) condemning israeli war crimes against inocent civilians? the list is endless.. Vik, are you for real?? and before you give me the same anti-muslim speach your kind is so good at please know that i deteste the terrorist organisation cheesebolah and am a member of the anti-hezbo right wing christian party the lebanese forces. america hates freedom of speach now just as it hates privacy and independence in the name of fighting terrorism.

During WWII the US Air Force deliberately killed hundreds of thousands of German and Japanese civilians in air raids specifically aimed at civilians. Does that count?

Lebanon is risking his integrity standing for Hezbollah, they are not protecting the Lebanon but rather doing the Iranian and Syrian interest in the area. Are few square meter of territory so important to risk a war instead to try to have it back peacefully?

al manar= terrorism period.

as a lebanese patriot i am sorry to say lebanon has fallen to hizbollah . i am more sorry to know what will happen to us in the next war .

I support good over evil. Hez attacked US many times and now they are in the leb govt and the leb govt is supporting them. Give me an example where israel or US attack civilians on purpose? Give me a single example. I can you countless examples. Every rocket fired by hez and hamas are aimed at civilians and not military. If either fire a rocket from or next to an apartment building full of nuns and orphans, then israel and US are in their right to take the buidling down. I'm sure that will be your example.

yet you support Israel, strange.

"which has abducted, tortured, and murdered hundreds of American citizens," like to provide proof of the above statement, or are you just another brainwashed yankee.

Lebanon's president was undoubtedly ordered by Hezbollah to make this request. All government officials there live in fear for their lives if they do not do as Hezbollah tells them to.

Lebs will ask US to help train Hez? Lebs will ask US to carry Hez tv on all airlines? Lebs will ask US to help spread the word of islam? Get real. Hez are terrorists. Lebs defending Hez is a terrorist act too. There is no middle ground when it comes to terrorists. If you dont oppose terror then you are supporting it even if you remain silent.

May all those morally depraved losers residing in the US, who support Hezbollah, a terrorist organization which has abducted, tortured, and murdered hundreds of American citizens, may they all soon be deported or in prison.

Hey you in Arkansas, do you know how much cash money your state receive from the federal governoment vs how much they pass to Israel? how many people are looking for jobs out there while your tax money is sent to Israel IDF? blocking the truth is what usa is great at?

can be found in much better places. Try reading Ya Libnan and Lebanon NOW. Both reputable and online. As for Hezbollah and Al Manar, I don't think the US needs to support a terror org, nor its TV.

better of watching Fox News. Like the blind leading the blind...Whatever happened to free media?? Let the people find what the truth is rather than feeding them "the spin" ....

Have you ever asked the question Why the U.S. is so afraid for it's citizens to see the same news that one can see in the rest of the world ?? what are we being shielded from ?? THE TRUTH ??

The US Government should not give into demands made by Lebanon, who are so incapable of exerting power and control over this militant faction. If anything, the US should shutdown satellite coverage for Lebanon itself until they start dismantling Hezbollah. Say no to appeasers and cowards in the Arab world.
