BEIRUT, Lebanon - Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah on Wednesday warned all Israeli Arabs to leave the port city of Haifa so the militant group could step up attacks without fear of shedding the blood of fellow Muslims.

Haifa, Israel's third-largest city, has been the frequent target of Hezbollah's rocket attacks.

"I have a special message to the Arabs of Haifa, to your martyrs and to your wounded. I call on you to leave this city. I hope you do this. ... Please leave so we don't shed your blood, which is our blood," Nasrallah said.

The Shiite cleric also gave a deeply negative assessment of the proposal to halt fighting between Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon in his first comments on a draft U.N. cease-fire resolution.

1. Isn't that nice?

Looking out for his fellow man like that. And some people think that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization.

6. Denial

Ain't just a river in Egypt. Yet many will still persist in believing that Hezbollah has a reason to exist other than to exterminate Jews.

11. Well that's bullshit too

Hezbollah does have a reason to exist other than to exterminate Jews.

I'm not a fan of Hezbollah, but come on.

15. Good point... add the Druze as well

More targets for Hezbollah, because they don't follow the Iranian theocracy's version of Islam.

8. and the Bahai's be damned....

the seat of their faith is literallly on the top of Mt. Carmel in Haifa.

9. The Bahais are the most persecuted religious group in Iran.

So I doubt if the ayatollahs' errand-boys have much regard for their holy place either.

10. I've been married to one for 20 years. My first thought when this all

went down and it was clear Iran was sponsoring Hizballah, was that the poor bahai's would become a target at some point. The hubs went on his pilgrimage just last year to Haifa. The seat of the faith is an incredible place enjoyed by all Israelis in the region. Such a shame.

17. I think something is up with his "special message"..

It kind of sounds ominous to me.

It must be something different than rockets. I wonder what's up?
