Israel Calls for U.N. Action against Hizbullah after Nasrallah's Claims

W300

Israel has asked the United Nations to take action against Hizbullah after the party's secretary-general, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, said that his group was behind a blast that targeted Israeli troops last month.

Israel's U.N. Ambassador Ron Prosor said in a letter to U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the Security Council that Nasrallah’s admission is further evidence that Hizbullah continues to operate south of the Litani River in violation of Resolution 1701 that ended the 2006 war between the two sides.

"Yes, the explosion in the Shebaa Farms that Hizbullah has not claimed until now was the work of the resistance, which means the work of Hizbullah," Nasrallah told As Safir daily earlier this week.

The explosion on March 14 came around a month after Israeli warplanes carried out air strikes in the Lebanese-Syrian border area of Janta that were believed to have targeted its positions.

"This was not the reply, but this was part of the reply," Nasrallah said.

Tensions have been running high between Israel and Hizbullah for months, with the Jewish state warning it would carry out strikes to prevent the group from obtaining advanced weaponry.

In times of trouble, what are good friends for but help each other? Thank you Israel, if I was Hezbollah, I'll always send you flowers, always, just to say thank you for being around when we needed you most.

Brother FD, Hady Nasrallah was killed in action and not executed by the Israelis and this is something I can personally confirm. I may br wrong here, but my feeling is of the eerie kind whereas things may not be like how we see them in public. Personally I do feel that there exists lots of connivance between Hezbollah and Israel, and trust me, I am not the only having this feeling.

So are we to imply that another 1000 Lebanese citizens, of which over 90% were Shiites, need to be killed so that HA can continue to exchange flowers with Israel. Will Dahye and southern villages need to be destroyed again so that the game can continue. Is Qana 3 in the works. I sure hope not.

The last time I checked the Jewish Zionist army was occupying Lebanese land therefore the Lebanese have the right to resist whether hezbollah or otherwise. The Lebanese are very proud of Hezbollah and our Shiite brothers in the nation. You sad bunch of sore losers. Go find a bone to chew on. A useless jewish christ killing nation. Just can't wait for the next time the Jews cross the Lebanese border... another lesson awaits you chickens who hide behind their big guns.

Exactly what Lebanese land?

The 10,452 km² of land that our forefathers have lived upon without abandonment for generations without end, and which they had toiled to claim as independent and which independence they achieved on the 22nd of November 1943 - without resorting to mass-murder, deportations, land-grabs and other scenarios inspired by the Nazis. THAT Lebanese land.

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues

'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl you better try to have fun
No matter what you do
But he's a fool

'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try

Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

Ahh, don't you just love it when Israel walks right into the propaganda trap that Hizb has set for it? Come on Israel, keep threatening and attacking Hizb, for how else could they shore up Arab support except through a common enemy? If even by Hasan's own admission some M14s started supporting Hizb once Al-Qaeda, on Hizb's invitation, started operating in Lebanon... That's like taking a crap in somebody's living room and then charging them for the clean-up. Hizb can't survive without you Israel! Glad you've responded to their call for help... Tfeh!

This is double standard.

The jewish religion has retaliation build into it. "An eye for an eye" is a basic tenet of their religion. (as opposed to the beauty of forgiveness of Christian dogma)

Now the racist jewish state, the king of retaliation, is upset because someone retaliated against it.!!!

This is the epitome of hypocrisy.
