  • scum.

  • one way americans can help is to buy Palestinian products  such as their bottled olive oil.

  • i support the lebanese and palestinians cause greatly, as i was part of many anti-war portests and humanitarian ones as well. As an arab that has friends of all religions and ethnicities, iam not supporting the arabs bcauz iam one its just simple compassion for any other human being that suffers injustly

  • only thing correct about ur statement is the part of all the historical structures getting looted. and to many peoples dismay, it was the natives, the locals who destroyed history relevant to the WORLD.

    allah dislikes propaganda and lies.

  • makdisi is on glue

    if i were anchorman i wouldve spit on the camera i was looking at and cut the interview.

    ur propaganda fails. its obvious in how u say hezbollah, ur a supporter, probably a member of the group who overran many innocent lebanese. allah will see u rot.

  • +. SLAUGHTER`ING pALESTINIANS AT A RATIO OF 8:1 AND THEN CLAIMINg YOU ARE THE VICTIm OF TERRORISM^ AND ANTISEMITISM IS SIMPLY LAUGHABLE BY ANY RATiONAL, LOGIc, RELIGiON OR CREeD. NO EXCUSe IS CREDiBLE FOR THESE LEVELS OF TERRORISM. NOT EVEN THE JEWISH HOLY TOR`AH ALLOWS KILLING BEYOND AN EYE FOR AN EYE!

    BOYCOTT ISRAELI APARTIED!

  • peace never existed in history of the middle east and it will never exist .... forever ;)

  • it was the promised land before they went against the prophet moses and disobeyed G-ds commands

  • You're right: Hezbollah didn't exist 60 years ago. But the Mufti of Jerusalem did recruit arabs into Hitler's army 60 years ago. And anti-semitism existed long before WWII. Blaming jews because of the creation of Israel is ignorant of facts: Pogrums existed long before Hitler showed up. Arabs, Muslims and anti-semites often side together against jews. Past, present, futur.

    And who is this guy on the video? Why should I believe him?

  • Lebanon is now a defenseless county? Bwaaahahahaha. Good one. Victims again. Of course. What a silly, biased and ignorant interview.
