UN Chief: Hezbollah threatens stability in Mideast and Lebanon

I noticed your veiled threat against my family. If I were living in a Hezbullah financed villa in Dahiyah (Harat Hyrayk) I might understand not appreciate, that you consider the HA-Iran combination better for our country than the Pal-syria one of the past, Lebanon must not be involved in the Arab Israeli conflict

Israels expansion policy is a non-violent response to Palestinian terror and murder. The message is get to the table for peace or lose more of the land you need for a country. Everything else you stated is just nonsense.

We were missing you!

If I recall correctly, it was Lebanon's Pm who shed tears on world media begging the world to help stop the war.

We knew that UN chief is an American stooge but we did not know that he is stupid too.

Did "Baby-face" Moon just wake up from a 3 year coma? Hezbollah has been a threat to Lebanon and Mideast peace since it was hatched.

ban ki-moon could just as well have sung the hezbollah a lull-a-bye. what impression do you think this kind of statements makes on the group? they don't care what the UN says & the issue of legitimate weapons has been "beautifully" solved within lebanon realtively recently, something ki-moon seems to have overlooked. the lebanese government has officially endorsed hezbollah as the country's rightful defender against israel & has thus issued it a free pass to do what it wants in the south. also, everybody knows that the hezbollah is superior militarily to any other force in lebanon, plus they're supported by syria, so it's clear who would be calling the shots if it came to a real internal conflict again.

It's encouraging to see that Ban is confronting the issue of terrorism at last.He should,however,confront it as two different issues. Hizbollah are out and out terrorists who are trying to grab power using violence and bogus claims to be defending Lebanon from a threat of their own creation.They need to be confronted with determined muscle. Palestinian refugees are forced to live in apartheid conditions in Lebanon with no hope of improvement.The responsibility of the UN is to see to it that these people are accorded full human rights where they are.A UN resolution is needed to require Arab League countries to stop preventing these refugees from taking new citizenship in the countries where they've been for decades,and probably born.Also there should be a progressive withdrawal of UN aid that supports and prolongs the refugee camps.When there's nothing in it for them any more,countries like Lebanon will have to absorb them so they can earn their keep. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

" If it were not for Hizbollah, there would be Israeli settlements on south Lebanon today" One of the dumbest statments I've read on this site, showing a complete lack of understanding of the settlment enterprise. Can you point to one, even one Israeli who suggested putting a settlement in Lebanon. It make no sense. It's not part of the land of Israel.

"Israel`s army got a fine beating by HA in 2006. " Reminds me of the fine beating the Black Knight in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" administered to King Arthur.

Israel adopted the diplomatic strategy after it had been forced by the international community to stop fighting. Look what she got for that! Hizbollah continuously ignoring the UN resolution and the world wondering why Israel is suspicious of diplomacy.

Does the article even mention Israel? (Hint: No) But I guess if Ban Ki-Moon criticizes Hezbollah, you take that as some form of support for Israel. And that disturbs you immensely, doesn't it? Your precious Swiss 'neutrality' will have none of that, will it? Perhaps you can now add Ban Ki-Moon to your list of enemies, along with Obama and those pesky "Diaspora Jews". Get a job or a hobby Swiss. You've lost all credibility or significance in this forum. You don't even pretend to be 'neutral' anymore. For you, it's just all-out Israel/Jew-hating, 24/7, 365 days a year. Such a contribution to society you make. Perhaps you and Ahmedinejad can share the next Nobel Peace Prize.

Of course of course of course you are the truth Brad. The only thing is that your are drowning in your own propaganda convictions. Bravo

that is to focus on the illegal Zionist occupation of Palestinian lands as the source of all the world troubles. Comrades, this is a dangerous digression by the Secretary General ! Anti-Semites of the world: UNITE!

neither does any other Western country I know of. We have police, sheriffs, Highway Patrol, National Guard, army, navy, air force, marines, Coast Guard, Seabees, no militias. We don't seem to need them.

hezbullah made the IDF run back to palestine crying, so now the west wants to do away with any resistance to this western experiment called israel.

You say "Israel got a fine beating"? For every Isreali killed there were more than 5 Lebanese based on official reports that are thought to hide the extent of Hezbollah carnage. And whatever the accuracy of those numbers, its hardly convincing to suggest that a group retreating on the run gave the other side a "fine beating". You might recall that Hezbollah began the war snugging up to the Israeli border & ended the war north of the Latani. What is that about other than being beat? And none of this speaks to the infrastructure losses suffered by Lebanon. Now if your point were Israel suffered material and meaningful losses during that war, that would be accurate. Modern warefare is devastating and yes, the lost of both soldiers and civilians was very painful to Israel. Of course, Israelies value their people much more than do Arabs. To them every life is precious, even those of the enemy. However, not so precious as to preserve enemy life whilst they are trying to exterminate Jews.

You provide proof positive of the mindset in that part of the world, thanks. Now that being said we can see that only Israel's destruction will satisfy Israels enemies. Clearly HA started the war...and lost...by any definition. They lost more men by a 10 to 1 margin, lost more infrastructure Israel $12 mil to Lebanon $1.2 Bil.. In addition when the war was over they had lost all their southern Lebanon positioning. T.I.P. apparently needs to soothe his ego with his false statements. Now I will give you this, Israel did not achieve its stated goals for the war, so if that is the definition of a HA victory may you have many more. BTW who went to the UN almost immediately begging them to restrain Israel. That's a funny thing for a winning army to do, don't you think??

"Nasralla go back to Iran, before our army forces you." Whose army are you talking about you fool, israel's?? Israel's army got a fine beating by HA in 2006. And the swap of the 2 dead israeli soldiers even put then in a deeper whole with regards to their morale. Israel is making a mistake if it starts another war. Don't tell me HA was the one who started the 2006 war by kidnapping 2 soldiers. That is a FALSE statement cause israel stole our land & HA kidnapped the 2 soldiers in OUR STOLEN lands. So technically, the 2 soldiers where kidnapped in lebanon & not in Israel. HA won the war cause israel couldn't reach its objectives. Did IDF destroy HA? No. Did IDF stop the rockets? No. Did IDF push back HA to Litani river? No. Did IDF get the 2 soldiers alive? No HA destroy 1 ship,2 helicopters,32 merkava tanks & killed 121 IDF soldiers.YOUR (supposedly) the 4th strongest nation.HA defeated you militarily. Lebanon suffered great infrastructure & civilian casualties cause IDF is moral

What a revelation! Amazing, now what is the impotent UN going to do about it.

"we will not recognize Israel even after 1000 years,regardless of whatever government comes to power.This is because Israel itself is illegal Jewish settlement that must disappear from the ME map." said Nasrallah and attacked Israel on 12 July 2006.

Quoting few words from a 6 month report is not fair to the readers. A link to the full report should've been provided at a minimum! Did he mention the effect of the American Ambassador's intervention, and dictation, on the efforts to form a Lebanese Unity Government? We heard how the US objected to Palestinians settling their differences. I'm sure they're playing the same divide-and-conquer games in Lebanon.

"Nasralla go back to Iran, before our army forces you." It seems that roger has been in Brazil too long to realize that Nasralla is more Lebanese than all of the Abdulmassih clan. Do you mean that the Brazilian army will force Nasralla to go to Iran? Or do you mean those sissy Lebanese Maronite soldiers?

Israel is engaged in an ongoing expansion upon which they have not set any limits. Understandably, this will make Israels neighbors nervous. These neighbors saw how the western backed UN simply gave away huge tracts of their land in the past. This situation is already very much unstable. If it were not for Hizbollah, there would be Israeli settlements on south Lebanon today, as a byproduct of Israels long occupation of Lebanon. It is Israel which causes instability through their never ending settlement enterprise. It is Hizbollah which forces stability on Israels northern border. Israel respects those that fearlessly rise up and give them a bloody nose, as Hizbollah has done in the past. Israel has no respect for those that display weakness in the face of repeated unreasonable demands from Israel, as America has done on a regular basis. The UN should address Israels settlement expansion before they cast blame for mideast "instability".

Hizbullah under the pretense of defending Lebanon in factdestroys our country. Nasralla go back to Iran, before our army forces you.

as if Iran and Syria care what the UN says about arming their pet vipers.

They are just "the resistance" who are looking forward to long term peaceful coexistence.
