Barak Warns about Hizbullah’s Nonstop Plans to Target Jews
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak has said that Hizbullah plans to continue attacks on Jewish targets abroad, the Israeli Jerusalem Post daily reported.
“Although recent attempted attacks have failed, Hizbullah is likely to continue the attempts,” the newspaper quoted him as saying on Monday.
Israeli deterrence is still strong in Lebanon, Barak told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, but stressed that Hizbullah is continuing to obtain many rockets of different kinds.
Barak held the Lebanese government responsible for any escalation with Hizbullah in light of the fact that the party is a significant player in Lebanese politics, the daily added.
Barak also said Iran will soon enter the “immunity zone,” making an attack difficult, pointing out that Iran funds, and in some cases initiates, terror attacks around the world, according to the paper.
While sanctions are important and harm the Iranian economy, they have yet to convince Tehran to change its nuclear program, he added.
“If Iran gains military nuclear capabilities, a conflict with them will be longer, more complicated and cost more in human life and resources,” Barak stated.

You clearly don't understand Hezbollah. You may admire them, but you don't get them. They take their orders from Iran, your friend Nasrallah is just a tool that follows orders given to him. They want to free Palestine... They said it loud and clear. Basically, Hezbollah wants war.... As it's the only way to justify its own existence. Hezbollah owes the state (hence us) billions of dollars resulting from the the war they wages on the Israeli war machine. Now where's that money? Hezbollah owes me money for all the shatterred windows when they took hostage us hostage on a bloody 7th of May. Hezbollah must go, full stop.

Prime suspect, if hezballah owes you money, then what does Israel owe you? What does the USA owe you, as it was their freely donated weapons that Israel uses? Hezballah is the effect, then who is the cause?
Who does not want a free Palestine? If it weren't for Israel, we would not have hezballah, nor the palestinain camps in Lebanon, nor would we have had 16 years of civil war!

Ado.australia: it's seems you haven't come to Lebanon lately. Our army is equipped with hummers and M16 machine guns. Don't blame America, it's strictly business. The Great Russsia does the same in Syria or Iran. Business is business. During the cold war, both Russia and America were helping Israel against the entire Arab world. Hezbollah is the one that started the costly 2006 war and Hezbollah is the one that attacked the Lebanese in May. Hezbollah is the one that owes us money. Hezbollah is THE militarized faction present in Lebanon. perhaps Iran should be sending money for non Shia citizens in Lebanon to pay for the damage it has caused. In Hezbollah want to truly fight the Zionist entity, they should go to Syria and fight for the Golan.

To FT and Ado
Lebanon is to be defended by Lebanese army alone.
HA can hand over their weapons bunkers and missiles to the Lebanese army, who will see them properly used to defend the nation.
By refusing to do so means that HA is indeed just a tool, an Iranian forward line of defense tool, and doesn't serve any lebanese purpose.

bwahahahaha ... yes the lebanese army can put up a fight with israel. What a dumb shmuck you are. Israel probably already has at least several hundred informants in the army, isf etc. And if they don't they could very easily infiltrate it. Not so with HA. They are in the blind. You cannot get that with the army smart guy.
Like them or hate them. As Ado said they are the effect not the cause. Your israeli buddies are the cause of HA and palestinian camps in Lebanon.

You know if Mustakbal and LF each Create an armed militia for sunni and Christian members only arm themselves to the teeth with heavy weapons and declare themselves to be resistance movements and want to fight Israel and take positions surrounding Dahieh - how would the shiaa feel? I bet they wouldn't like it and suspect them of conspiring with foreign forces against them. That's exactly what the Sunni, Druze and Christians feel toward Hizbullah.

Lebanon is in need of a REAL resistance to resist the fake resistance

Are you trying to hide the fact that Israel has already infiltrated Hizbullah, and others surrounding it. And who caught them - the Army/ISF intelligence, not Hizbullah.
In any case - your Cause and Effect are irrelevant - Now that Lebanon has state institutions that are responsible to defend the nation - it should no longer be in the hands of vigilante/mercenaries for hire by Iran

Do you think HA would accept Non-Shiaa members???
If i remember correctly - The Armed resistance movement was initially diverse in nature and was from leftist movements and parties, mostly Non-Shiaa, christians & Sunni Druze factions. What happened to these Non-Shiaa armed resistance movement - they were summerly oppressed and disbanded in order to give rise to a purely Shiaa so called resistance movement to be a Pro-Iranian/Alawite tool.

And Arzz
If they didn't need to surround Dahieh -then why did Hizbullah need to surround the Chouf to fight Israel NO?
