Maybe the U.N. should have thought about that while their border guard post sat there doing nothing for years.

[dannyleung]

Is Labanon a country or a state owned by Hezbollah? Should the name of the country be changed to Hezbollah?

[kaioser]

Who truly runs Lebanon when a rogue faction decides matters of peace and war?

[TheShadowfakx]

Yeah, the catastrophe. Well, would that be the catastrophe where Hez is degraded to such an extent that Christian Lebanese can retake and reconstitute itself and reclaim its sovereignty again. Permanently.

how rude is she to call the week interesting!

[toragodzen]

This support of Islam by EU and USA authorities is a main reason why right and far right wing takes more and more votes .

[MichaelHatfield-jz]

how in the hell is this all real? what are we all trying to do?

[sarx]

Could Ms. Makler or France24 please explain to us their expert opinion on what exactly an “all out war” would actually look like?

[deven.oauditx]

Why is the UN not condemning Hezbollah for firing missiles into Israel but they were very fast in condemning Israel for pager attacks? This is despite the fact that Israel did not claim responsibility for the attacks.

>>>>Before 1917, the Palestinian Territories were inhibited mainly by three groups: Christians, Jews and Muslims who were all living in some considerable peace compared to today. 1917 Balfour declaration, however, gave the JEWS ONLY the right to a RELIGIOUS STATE on Palestinian Territories. And do you know what a religious state exactly means!!? It means for everyone belonging to that religion gets the right to a citizenship of that state even if they weren't born there. That's when Jews- including murderers, criminals, , , you name it- started coming from all over the world and barbarically settle and spread on Palestinian lands. Indigenous Palestinians (almost non-Jewish) normally started resisting and some western governments unfortunately sided with the occupants. By the way, Britain was occupying the Palestinian Territories back then when giving that promise to the Jews (occupant handing to another). And that's how this whole misery started after Jews, Christians and Muslims were living in some considerable peace on the Palestinian Territories.

Why are they carrying M16s, and why is that soldier not have his cover on outside?

[tzahi]

Lebanon is not a country - Change their name to "Hezbollah-Land".
They cannot say "we have nothing to do with this" while Hezbollah is de-facto operating from within Lebanon.

[Fellowtellurian]

Lebanon has a right to defend themselves

[EmilieWhite-zk]

What is going on everywhere this does not look like de-escalating

[Cheesey]
