<html><div style='background-color:'><P>Finally we are waking up and realizing the truth. We are realizing that Hizbullah's ultimate goal was completed long ago, we should now thank them and it is now time for them to let lebanon take all military and other decisions for itself. I am sorry for all the pain the Palestinians are suffering, but i don't see why we also need to pay the price by having a militia that tickles the wasp's nest every once in a while. We, the civilians, always end up being stung the most by these actions.</P>

<DIV>Dear all,<BR><BR>I read all the comments. <BR>At least we all agree we want Israel to stop its unhumanitarian attacks.<BR>I am afraid it is too late now after all the destruction.<BR>But let's learn one lesson though: we should also ask for hizballah to stop <BR>fighting Israel... The more they fight Israel, the more Lebanon is destroyed.<BR>So why don't we all ask for BOTH parties to stop????<BR>Why don't we ask Israel to go fight Iran and Syrian on THEIR land and not ours?<BR>Hizballah can get out and fight on an Iranian land... do we really want Hizballah?<BR>They are bringing nothing but destruction and war from Israel to Lebanon.<BR><BR>We, Lebanese, Christinas and Muslims, shoud all ask for Hizballah to stop their action as well....<BR></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">Before this list gets moderated, allow me to say the following:</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">Jimmy, what a bloody pratt you are! You want me to call an apple an apple? Well, I just did.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">You want to "applaud" Israel for killing countless Lebanese civilians, destroying the economy and infrastructure of our country under the pretence of self defense, then knock your self out, but know this:</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">No one is condoning the actions of Hezbollah; we’re condemning the heavy handed actions of Israel and its collective punishment of Lebanon and its people, which constitutes of a violation of the Geneva Convention and International Law. Come on, let me hear you clap. The government of Israel said it was Syria and Iran pulling the strings, then let them go bomb Syria and Iran.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">I apologize to all recipients of this list for being out of character, but my 85 year old mother had to evacuate right after she had an operation, and our dear Jimmy thinks we should applaud that. My apologies for using derogatory language, but I wish there was a polite way to call an idiot an idiot.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">Not only are you senseless, dear Jimmy, but you lack perspective and the analytical capacity to understand that the biggest loser in this conflict is Lebanon and not Hezbollah.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">The idiocy of morally decrepit people who see nothing wrong with the destruction of Lebanon and the death of its civilians as long as they are under the illusion that Hezbollah are being destroyed is mind boggling. Open your eyes and witness who the real losers are. </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma"></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">Good night!</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We're not expressing support for Hezbollah, we are expressing solidarity and support for the Lebanese living through a genocide you have no shame in appluadng. </DIV>
