I believe Israel does the telling just fine

[JackalGambino]

they're just as bad as Israeli traitors because they disarmed Hezballah's key weapon against Israel. They are traitors and anybody who supports a traitor deserves to become ashes and dust. They are not lebanese, traitors, there'sa difference

Hizballah saved Beirut. Hizballah warned Israel that if they attacked Beirut they would attack Tel Aviv. Provoked by Hizbullah? how? you have thousands of Lebanese prisoners from your illegal invasion in 1982 being held without charge. We will fight for our brothers and will continue to do so. The US+Israeli airforce were planning on taking advantage of an opportunity MONTHS before the war occured. This year DAvid welsh warned of another "hot summer". Hezballah used the element of surprise.

Tell that to the majority of the lebanese people

the only crazy move Afshi* was the creation of this network, it sucks

[angelsaints00]

this network sucks, the only hot summer will be the hot temperatures from global warming

ur not muslim and u support hizbulla, haha, wake up idiot!! after sunna, our turn will come. these are not hizbulla fighters??u seem very confident. man, u see how well organised the operations are, it is planned at least months ago, use ur mind to think, dont believe nesralla, he has charisma, i admit, but he s nothing more than a big LIAR..Hizbulla loses a lot from whats happening today, u will see in near future, hizballa can not say again that his weapons are never used against the inside..

ohm... I dont need some ludacris from TERAN to dictate to me who is good and bad, Lebanon is a country, Hebollah is an iligal armed militant group

[watbey]

these are just civilians not hezbollahs army. why one week ago march 14 was barking so much? was it because they thought america will help them? where is america now? it seems that all those times jumblatt and hariri and siniora bent over for the US really paid off ha? and nasralla isnt my master im not even muslim but a have respect and dignity for my country

In 2006 Israel attacked Lebanon because it was provoked by Hizbullah. I do not see how Hizbullah helped save Lebanon by giving Israel a reason to attack. At this point the best thing Hizbullah can do is disappear and stop giving Israel reasons to keep attacking. It also seems that Iran supporting and probing Hizbullah is not a foreign interference. If March 14 should stop taking orders from the west, then maybe Hizbullah should stop taking orders from Iran.
