It sounds pretty balanced with people arguing both sides.

Here's a sample of the comments....

Iran-Syria Axis Fully Materializing

I don't know what to say anymore. Sayyid Nasrallah is still alive and declaring an open war. Where is our President? Where are our Ministers? Prime Minister? Members of Parliament?

All these institutions and the guardians of these institutions are obsolete at this point. Nasrallah is leading the show. He's defying everything and everyone. He is assuming the position of the guardian of the Prophet's Family, against all odds. This is not about Lebanon anymore; this is about Nasrallah's pride.

The Iran-Syria Axis has just fully materialized!

An Israeli warship was hit on the coast off of Beirut, the same warship that hit Hizbullah's headquarters which housed Nasrallah.

Lebanon is a hostage and all the Lebanese people are a pawn in the hands of the few.

Update: Rumours in the streets of Saida are that the Israelis have landed a ground force. The rumours are unfounded, but the city is terrified!

"Nobody knows how many rebellions, besides political rebellions, ferment in the masses of life which people earth."

May God protect the people of Lebanon. Hezb is going to drag them into the fire.

well Nasrallah says teh ship is sinking. Israel says minimal damage and no injuries. I am sure that the truth, as usual, is right in between.

"Hezbollah would also strike "beyond Haifa and what is beyond, beyond Haifa," Nasrallah said. He made reference to a new strike on an Israeli naval boat in Lebanese waters. The warship was lightly damaged in the strike, and there were no injuries, the IDF said. "

"Where is our President? "

He's sayyed Nasrallah

"Whe Where are our Ministers? Prime Minister?"
They are sayyed Nasrallah

"Members of Parliament? "
They are sayyed Nasrallah

Hezbollah has kidnapped the institutions of our country. Nasrallah is the new dictator. Cheers.

Joe do you think that a WWII rocket can seriously damage a modern warship?

This is not about Lebanon anymore; this is about Nasrallah's pride.

It never was about Lebanon in the first place. Hizbollah attacked Israel to have a reason to sustain its own existence as an armed force. If you want to be an actor and not just a pawn or human waste, there is only one course to take.

The IN probably welcomes the rocket attacks on their ships. Better to have Hezb shoot their (finite number of) rockets at armoured ships than civilian homes.

Lebanese blogger forum reporting ship sank

The owners of this esteemed blog, and most of their cheerleaders here, suffer from-pardon the sexist language-"battered woman syndrome"

bend over and take it in the back, that's your choice, but we don't have to follow suit.

Anon 3:42:
Yes, just as both Israel and Hizballah can damage the truth.
I think that the hit, no matter how insignificant, was completely unexpected by everybody, including the Israeli Navy. You can try your best to minimize it, but deep down in your heart you know that it was a hit, and that is all I am saying.

1. Indeed

This is not about Lebanon anymore; this is about Nasrallah's pride.

anon 4:12 Why are you attacking Doha for having more sense than anybody else in your bunker? Actually you are probably posting from America since you are so blind not to see the cause and effect. Is sacrificing Lebanon for the sake of Syria and Iran worth it? Not for the real Lebanese, but perhaps it is for you and the dirt eating Palestinians in Lebanon.


"Dirt eating Palestinians" is something a freeper would say.
