I just HOPE that the US does not send any troops over there because that will prove that our government is completely invasive, even though we have already proven that. Our world has gone down the shitter.

The US has no intention of going in. Our role is only to support the Israeli push, it's been outlined by the PNAC. They are the ones running things right now. We don't have to send in troops we only have to tell the rest of the world that we support the aggression.

Ever think about the bombing of the Indian train line. That was a message to the Indians to be mobilized and to the Pakistanis to back off. Our allies that receive funds are supposed to back off and be prepared to take action if ask. Pakistan was implicated in order that they should back off. Why no more news stories on US tv about those bombings. They accomplished what they were supposed to at this point. Let the Israelis and US need India and I guarrantee they'll crop back up on the media. And if the US ever thinks to go after Ben Ladin, the Pakistanis will be the bad guys then.

Realize these are both nuclear powers.

The US is the only country at the meeting in Rome that refuses to call for a cease-fire in Lebanon-it even refuses to condemn Israel for flattening the UN Peacekeepers post and killing all it's soldiers in South Lebanon. Instead, the US keeps beating war drums toward Syria and Iran, which I have said all along is what this is really about. China sponsored a resolution condemning the bombing of the UN post, which the US blocked. China told the US that if it wants its help in the talks with North Korea that the US better change its tune. http://today.reuters.com/news/newsa...91_RTRUKOC_0_US-MIDEAST-DIPLOMACY.xml&src=rss

The Lebanese government has said that 600 people have been killed by Israeli bombing of the country. The UN has said that two-thirds of those are civilians. Of the 400 civilians that have been killed, one-third of them are children.

In contrast, as of today 51 people have been killed in Israel by Hezbollah rocket attacks, only 18 of whom have been civilians.

I've never seen an administration in DC that created so much chaos. Nothing satisfies the Bush administration. It claims that a government isn't a good enough democracy and then disrupts it and creates a situation that's far more chaotic than what went before it. It's a juvenile type of attitude. They've done this with Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, and now they're talking about Syria and Iran.

Bush also snubbed Russia with has flag-waving, patriotic, condescending remarks that Russia didn't have a good enough democracy. Putin responded by saying Russia didn't choose democracy to please some leader of another country. They did it for themselves.

He's just a pawn for the Project for a New American Century, everything he has done since he became president is to advance their agenda, and during this new conflict with Israel and Lebanon he is following their preplanned agenda also.

Are you conveniently forgetting the hundreds of civilians killed by terrorists in Israel over the last few years? That's nice. And you talk like Israel is doing this on purpose. This is a war. And while, as stated several times, the death of civilians is tragic, this has always been part of war. The terrorists kill in a time of peace. See the difference?

No, it's just accidental that the Israeli Army keeps repeatedly bombing convoys of ambulances, right? Sure.

Soldier sentenced to 28 days for refusing to serve in Lebanon
Last update - 07:36 31/07/2006 Source

The first person to refuse to do army service during the current fighting was sentenced Sunday to 28 days in a military prison. According to the refusal organization Yesh Gvul, which issued a public statement Sunday urging others to follow in Amir Fester's footsteps, more than 10 other people have contacted the organization about the possibility of refusing to serve. While some of them have answered reserve duty call-ups and are participating in military training, they have said that they will not take part in the fighting, according to organization spokesman Yishai Menuchin. Sunday's bombing in Qana sparked an immediate surge in Israeli opposition to the fighting in Lebanon. Spontaneous demonstrations and petitions were organized within hours, and drew more people than the organized demonstrations of the previous two weeks. One of the demonstrations, organized by senior officials from Meretz, took place in front of the Defense Ministry compound in the Kirya in Tel Aviv. Dozens of members and top officials of the party protested despite Meretz's official position, which for the moment is one supporting the Lebanon offensive. Demonstrators held signs which read, "Cease-fire now," calling for immediate negotiations with Lebanon and Syria. Another sign was emblazoned with, "We are a strong but thinking homefront." "We wanted to protest the foolishness of this war," attorney Yifat Solel, who also serves on the Meretz board of directors, told Haaretz. "It's obvious that a military operation would cause the harming of innocents, and that the most significant achievement would be reached only through diplomatic negotiations." More than 600 people, including Israeli professors and senior Meretz party officials, have signed an international petition calling for an immediate, unconditional cease-fire in Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank. Among the signatories to this petition is former Meretz MKs Naomi Chazan.

Thousands protest in Umm al-Fahm against war

Thousands of Israeli Arabs took to the streets of Umm al-Fahm on Sunday evening to protest the war in Lebanon following the bombing of the village of Qana. Demonstrators shouted "Israel is a terrorist state," and, "the people of Gaza and Lebanon won't surrender." In the Galilee, dozens of Ta'al activists demonstrated against the war and waved signs that read: "Peretz, Olmert and Rice are responsible for war crimes." Left-wing factions of Knesset on Sunday denounced the Israel Air Force strike on the Lebanese village of Qana that left 54 people dead. MK Mohhamed Barakeh (Hadash) said the only result of the offensive being waged by Olmert and Peretz in Lebanon is a series of war crimes. "The government has decided to carry out massacres in Gaza and Lebanon under the protection of the U.S." Meretz chairman Yossi Beilin said the large number of civilian casualties at Qana proves that prolonging the campaign in Lebanon won't help obtain the operation's objectives. Beilin added that no Israel Defense Forces statement could justify the pictures of innocent casualties, nor the reality that another strike like this could happen again. MK Avshalom Vilan (Meretz) called for negotiations, adding "what happened there is a humanitarian disaster that no one intended, but the outcome is a black flag." MK Ahmed Tibi (Ra'am-Ta'al) said that Rice's 'smart bombs' and Halutz's praised pilots' have caused a horrendous and foreseeable war crime. "Bush, Peretz, and Olmert bear the responsibility for this brutal parade of corpses," he added. MK Jamal Zahalka (Balad) said Israel has declared war on the citizens of Lebanon, adding "those resopnsible for the massacre are guilty of a war crime and should stand trial before the international Criminal Tribunal in the Hague." Balad is to hold an anti-war demonstration outside the Knesset on Monday.

Reservist officer Captain Amir Paster was sentenced on Sunday night to 28 days in a military prison for refusing to take part in the fighting in Lebanon. It was the first case of refusal to serve in the army since hostilities in Lebanon erupted. Paster, 28, arrived at his base after being drafted and told his soldiers that he refused to take part in operations that harm innocent civilians . The Israeli Army spokesman strongly condemned Paster. "We view any case of refusal in the utmost severity. So far, the Army has drafted a very large reservist contingent, the vast majority of whom have reported for duty," the army said. "In this isolated case, an officer cynically used his rank. Army officers do not pick their missions and are expected to set a personal example to their soldiers. The Israeli Army will continue to deliberate on how to further deal with this officer," the statement read.

Egypt Copts Proud of Hizbullah
Mon., Jul. 31, 2006

CAIRO — Egypt's Copts have hailed the Lebanese resistance movement Hizbullah and its chief Hassan Nasrallah as a source of pride to Muslims and the Arab world, and launched a fund-raising campaign to help the Lebanese people in their current trial. "All Arabs must be proud of Hizbullah's gallantry," Bishop Rafiq Gris, the spokesman for the Egyptian Catholic Church, told IslamOnline.net Monday, July 31. "No matter what the results will be, Hizbullah has proved that the 'invincible' Israeli army is too weak and shown that a Frankenstein created by the Arab rulers was brought to his knees by a few number of fighters," added Yuhana Qaltah, a writer and columnist. Hizbullah has inflicted heavy losses on the powerful Israeli army and proved in no way an easy meat. Its fighters forced Israeli forces to withdraw from the two strategic towns of Bint Jbeil and Maroon Al-Ras they had seized earlier. Hizbullah has downed at least two Apache helicopters and damaged a giant warship at the very beginning of the conflict. Famed filmmaker Youssef Chahine said Nasrallah is a "source of pride to Islam." "Hizbullah is a symbol of Arab dignity," he told Reuters on Sunday, July 30. The Cannes-awarded director said he hoped to shake hands with Nasrallah in a visit to Beirut earlier this year. "Nasrallah welcomed my visit…I'm really proud of him," Chahine added. Chahine issued Sunday a statement addressed to the US right wing after the grisly Israeli massacre in the southern Lebanese city of Qana, which killed at least 60 civilians, including 37 children. "The chaos is to strike civilians just like combatants….The chaos is to vent your anger on orphans…The chaos is to kill pregnant women and toddlers…The chaos is to annihilate an entire population…The chaos is to usurp freedom with the New Middle East dreams," he wrote.
Orthodox Bishop Abram Girgis said it is a "duty" on both Muslims and Christians to support all resistance groups whether in Lebanon, Palestine or Iraq. "Resistance is a legitimate act," he stressed. George Isaac, of the Kefaya opposition, said the Egyptians should stand up and be counted. "We should at least hold rallies on a daily basis and grassroots conferences in solidarity with the Lebanese resistance," he said. "History will always remember that an Arab man called Hasan Nasrallah has succeeded with a small group of men in doing what other governments have failed to do with their vast resources and sophisticated weapons." Bishop Gris said the Israeli offensive on Lebanon has exposed the Arab leaders, who proved "impotent" to stop the war. "Some of them even wished Israel would win the fighting to avoid the emergence of Hizbullah-styled groups in many Arab countries," he added.

Gris said the Catholic Church has launched a fund-raising campaign for the Lebanese people."We started raising funds to send an aid convoy in the name of all Egyptian Copts to our brothers and sisters in Lebanon," Bishop Rafiq Gris, the spokesman for the Egyptian Catholic Church, told IslamOnline.net Monday, July 31."Our hearts are breaking for the Lebanese and feel for the Palestinians," he said. "We do have churches in Lebanon and (occupied) Palestine and know the (Israeli) enemy very well."He said that Catholic churches in Lebanon raced to give shelter to thousands of Lebanese who were forced to flee their homes under Israeli fire.Amin Eskandar, a prominent Coptic intellectual, said he was planning to visit Beirut to coordinate efforts made by Egyptian and Arab relief groups to bring succor to the people of South Lebanon."At least 750 people, mostly civilians, were killed since the start of the Israeli offensive on July 12.The hard-won infrastructure of the Arab country has been left in ruins, with Israel knocking out Beirut international airport, bombing ports, destroying bridges, setting power stations ablaze and reducing houses to rubble.UN relief coordinator Jan Egeland has said that Lebanon was suffering a "major" humanitarian crisis.

He has also decried the Israeli blockade on Lebanon which has blocked the delivery of humanitarian aid.

Syria's Christians rally behind Hizbollah

Fri Aug 4, 2006 10:48am ET Source

By Khaled Yacoub Oweis

DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Seventy-seven-year-old Mona Muzaber lights a candle for Hizbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah at the Orthodox Church of the Cross in the center of Damascus. "I love him. I never felt Nasrallah was a religious zealot. He is a patriot who doesn't seek personal gain," she said. "I light a candle daily for him to remain under God's protection." Israel's offensive against Lebanon has brought Christians in neighboring Syria closer to Nasrallah, a Shi'ite Muslim, reviving Arab nationalist feelings and blurring sectarian divisions. Bishops and priests say Syria's Christians, a devout community of around three million out of a population of 18 million, identify strongly with Nasrallah's battle with Israel, which has occupied Syria's Golan Heights since 1967. "Pray for the resistance, pray for Hassan Nasrallah. He is defending justice," Father Elias Zahlawi told the congregation at special mass held at the Lady of Damascus, a Catholic church. Across Damascus Christians, like Muslims, sit glued to Nasrallah's al-Manar television, receptive to his portrayal of the war as one in defense of all Arabs, as well as Muslims.

At the biblical-era Straight Street, Khaldoun Uzrai hung the yellow flags of Hizbollah all over his liquor and grocery shop. "We are Arabs at the end of the day. Nasrallah is one of our own. He is realizing our dreams," Uzrai said.

At least 720 people have been killed in Lebanon and 750,000 have been displaced by the conflict ignited by a cross-border raid in which Hizbollah seized two Israeli soldiers. Seventy-two Israelis have been killed, many by Hizbollah rockets.

Iyad Elias, a doctor working at a hospital in the mixed Jaramana district, wishes Hizbollah could unleash more rockets on the Jewish state. "Nasrallah transcends religion and ethnicity. Unfortunately he does not have the firepower Israel has," he said. Jaramana has been a main receiving center for thousands of Lebanese refugees, mostly Shi'ite from the south. They have been housed in schools, mosques, monasteries and private homes. Thabet Salem, a leading political commentator, said Nasrallah brought out nationalist feelings which have been dormant for years as Israel dealt the Arabs a series of defeats. "Nasrallah extols the Muslim nation, but he is also seen as a symbol of a national liberation movement. No wonder Christians feel such affinity to him," Salem said. A leading Christian businessman called Nasrallah "the uncrowned Arab king". "Unlike most Arab rulers, Nasrallah is not an agent. After all he sacrificed his son," the businessman said, referring to Hadi Nasrallah, who was killed at 18 fighting occupying Israeli forces in south Lebanon.

A simple solution and one that would throw off US and Israeli complaints would be for the Lebanese government to acknowledge officially and absorb Hezbollah into their own military. Politically this would be something the US and Israel would have a hard time counteracting or considering terroists. They should have done this years ago.

Huh! That means bow down to US and Israel, Countries should do everything which disagrees with US & Israel's wishes anyway I don't wanna discuss that issue, howeve, Here are some more good news from Egypt
Hussein Fahmi resigns as UN Goodwill Ambassador
Posted: 02-08-2006 , 13:56 GMT Source

Prominent Egyptian actor Hussein Fahmi has submitted his resignation as United Nations Goodwill Ambassador in protest of the UN's inaction to halt the Israeli aggression against innocent civilians in Lebanon, especially the most recent heart wrenching Qana bombings that kill over 60 civilians, mostly women and children. In an official press release Hussein said, "I cannot carry on as a Goodwill Ambassador to an institution that is incapable of making any difference in a country that is under siege," as a result of ongoing Israeli strikes.The actor said, "As an Arab artist, it is inappropriate to hold such a position at this time." "If a small nation cannot seek the assistance of the UN, who can they turn to?," questioned Hussein. He also said the UN mistakenly characterizes the Israeli aggression as "self-defense." He called on powerful nations like Russia and France to take a stand against the United States, which has yet to insist on a ceasefire, and described most Arab nations as mere spectators to the tragedy. Hussein described the Arab League as ineffective, and if these countries and the UN remain silent then the massacres of innocent Lebanese will only continue, he said.

Venezuela's Chavez compares Israel to Hitler
04 Aug 2006 18:03:03 GMT
Source: Reuters

DUBAI, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Friday blasted Israel for its attacks against Lebanon and Palestinians, comparing its operations to those of Hitler. In an interview with Qatar-based Al Jazeera television, Chavez also slammed U.S. backing for Israel, describing Washington as a "Dracula always searching for oil and blood" Love ya Chaves. "The Israeli offensive against the Palestinians and Lebanon is an aggression that we feel targets us also HEY, I love ya man.

It is an unjustified aggression that is being carried out in the style of (Adolf) Hitler, in a Fascist fashion," he said, referring to the leader of Nazi Germany. "They (Israelis) are doing what Hitler did against the Jews. They are killing innocent children and whole families," he said in the remarks dubbed in Arabic. On Thursday, Chavez said he ordered the withdrawal of Venezuela's ambassador to Israel in protest =D may Allah bless you day and night, Amen .

The Lebanon war, which erupted after Hizbollah snatched two Israeli soldiers in a border raid on July 12, has coincided with an Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip to recover another captured soldier and halt Palestinian rocket fire.

Chavez, on a visit to Doha where Al Jazeera is based, said Israel was carrying out an "imperialist offensive" against Lebanon and the Palestinians that was orchestrated by the United States as part of a bid to control the energy-rich region.

"The American hand is pushing them. It is behind the Israeli aggression, it is an imperialist aggression ... and Israel is one of the imperialist tools."

Yea, well Chavez is exactly right in this case, and he sees through American moralizing into the real reason Uncle Sam is doing things-this is the reason that the US tried to overhrow him in a CIA sponsored coup, despite the fact that he was democratically elected, and is also the reason that "Christian" thug Pat Robertson advocated having him assasinated. Chavez knows that the real motivation behind this war and his attempted overthrow by the US is oil, period. He's absolutely right about that.
