#1 Lemme get this straight. Hezbollah gets half of Lebanon flamed, many of their own guys iced, shoots hundreds of grapeshot rockets arbitrarily into civilian areas, and goes crying and whining to the UN for a ceasefire. That gives these idiots a restored sense of dignity as Arabs?

I don't get it, maybe I never will.
Would hezbollah claim victory if there were only one of them to crawl out of the rubble and taunt the IDF soldiers as they left? Would he have driven out the IDF single handedly? They are infuriating.

#3 "They spoke about Hizbullah restoring the dignity of France's Arabs'" Quite right the French haven't surrendered to anyone in a couple of years, it's up to Hizbullah to pick up the slack.

#5 This is a disgrace for France. However, we have the exact same thing now going on in Dearborn. I cannot understand why any Americans allow this f**king filth to march and mount support for Hezbs on our streets.

#7 I thought the Car-b-cues restored the dignity of French arabs. Or was that the many-on-one assaults, rapes and robberies?

#8 What I find really strange is why would anyone from Israel want to go to Phrance

#9 "What I find really strange is why would anyone from Israel want to go to Phrance"

Cheaderhead, they probably go for the same reasons I do. Although I despise the French government, and a large portion of the French people, I've always had a great time in Paris. The food, the wine, and the coffee can't be beat.

#10 Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish through lying because there is no need for it. When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible. (Ahmad ibn Naqib al-Misri, The Reliance of the Traveller ( ÚãÏÉ ÇáÓÇáß ), translated by Nuh Ha Mim Keller, amana publications, 1997, section r8.2, page 745)

#11 "It all took place right at the foot of the Eiffel Tower."

Which the terrorists will destroy at their earliest opportunity. It will break my heart to see such an icon of the industrial revolution be desecrated, but the French will have deserved it in spades.

#12 They have no need to destroy it. It will make a fine minaret.

#13 Yeah but the Muzzies make lousy cheese, and they don't know the first thing about wine.

#14 "It all took place right at the foot of the Eiffel Tower."

Because Hezbollah likes to march in the shade.

#15 Seems pretty tame. It's not like anyone grabbed a mic and bellowed "On to Bucharest!"
