ezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah says his armed group has body parts of Israeli soldiers killed in Lebanon during the 2006 conflict.
He said they had the "heads, the hands, the feet and even a nearly intact cadaver" in a speech marking his first public appearance in more than a year.
He addressed Shia Muslim supporters at a rally in southern Beirut to celebrate the holy Shia commemoration of Ashura.
Israel launched a major campaign against Hezbollah in July 2006.
The 34-day war started with a border incursion by Lebanon-based Hezbollah, who killed eight Israeli soldiers and snatched two more.
About 1,200 people - including civilians and Hezbollah fighters - died in Lebanon during the conflict and about 160 Israelis - mainly soldiers - were killed during the conflict.
Body parts of Israeli soldiers have previously been used in prisoner exchanges between the two sides.
Stadium rally
Surrounded by bodyguards as he walked through a Shia neighbourhood in southern Beirut on Saturday, the Hezbollah leader was greeted by supporters chanting "God protect Nasrallah," and "Death to America, Death to Israel".
Hezbollah's al-Manar television station said one million people had turned out for the event.
Sheikh Nasrallah told the crowds: "Our fighters were fighting and confronting these Zionists. They were killing them and collecting the remains of their bodies.
"I am not talking about insignificant bodily remains. I tell the Israelis we have heads, hands, legs of your soldiers. We also have a nearly intact cadaver from the head down to the pelvis."
Sheikh Nasrallah's last public appearance was in September 2006, after the war which Hezbollah claimed as a "victory". He had gone into hiding during the war amid Israeli threats to kill him.
“I am not talking about insignificant bodily remains. I tell the Israelis we have heads, hands, legs of your soldiers. We also have a nearly intact cadaver from the head down to the pelvis.”
Land for body parts?
these people are crazy
Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah needs to be put on a flight to meet his 72 virgin Helen Thomases ASAP.
Trans Porcine Airways has flights leaving daily.
Book him.
What a bunch of death-worshipping pigs.
Somebody needs to take this sick SOB prisoner and publicly dhang him and lower his body into a pool of pigs blood and body parts.
Dear Sheikh Nasrallah:
Unfortunately, the State of Israel does not have a cadaver or body-part redemption program at the present time, in exchange for land or anything else. If that should ever change, we will let you know.
Sincerely,
Ehud Olmert
Prime Minister
Death cult! Death cult! Death cult! Death cult! Death cult! Death cult! Death cult! Death cult! Death cult! Death cult! Death cult! Death cult! Death cult! Death cult! Death cult! Death cult! Death cult! Death cult! Death cult! Death cult! Death cult!
Except that Israel has INDEED traded Palestinian prisoners for cadavers of Israeli soldiers , and other body parts.
Ariel Sharon did that several years ago, and Hezbollah is hoping it happens again.
Another example of civilized moslems.
Just Wow

The alarm was raised. More of these strange objects drifted into view, and men waded into the shallows to drag them to the shore. What they found horrified even these battle-weary veterans: wooden crosses pushed out by the enemy to float in the harbour, and crucified on each was the headless body of a Christian knight.
This was psychological warfare at its most brutal, a message sent by the Turkish Muslim commander whose invading army had just vanquished the small outpost of Fort St Elmo - a thousand yards distant across the water.
Now the target was the one remaining fort on the harbour front where the beleaguered, outnumbered and overwhelmed Christians were still holding out: the Fort St Angelo. The Turkish commander wished its defenders to know that they would be next, that a horrible death was the only outcome of continued resistance.
But the commander had not counted on the mettle of his enemy - the Knights of St John. Nor on the determination of their leader Grand Master Jean Parisot de la Valette, who vowed that the fort would not be taken while one last Christian lived in Malta.
On news of the grotesque discovery of the headless knights - many of them his personal friends - Grand Master Valette quickly ordered that captured Turks imprisoned deep in the vaulted dungeons of the fort be taken from their cells, and beheaded one by one.
Then he returned a communiquè of his own: the heads of his Turkish captives were fired from his most powerful cannon direct into the Muslim lines. There would be no negotiation, no compromise, no surrender, no retreat.
We Christians, the Grand Master was saying, will fight to the death and take you with us.

Malta did not fall.
The push for alternative fuel sources needs no other impetuous than makeing these folks of no value to mankind.
indeed
Why do the Israelis not just kill these subhumans?
And they would be the first to go crying about the inhumane treatment if it was happening to muzzies. If they were “the cradle” of civilization as they are often fond of saying, they certainly stopped progressing in any human developpment soon after.
What did you say their 20 was?
F'n troglodytes.
