Re: Israel VS Hiz-Bullies Part II

Mornin' ya'll!!!

The fact that Hezbollah is controlled by Syria and Iran and that Israel said it is going to basically dismantle Syria. That's one possibility anyway.

Sorry, I meant to say dismantle Hezbollah. But at any rate, I guess it's one in the same.

Hizbullah continues to strike north: Katyusha barrages landed Friday afternoon in Safed, Nahariya, Hatzor, Kiryat Shmona, Karmiel, Matat, Sasa, Pki'in and Beit Jan. One of the rockets directly hit a house in Safed, injuring 12 people. One person sustained a very severe head injury.

Rockets fired from southern Lebanon have also landed on Shomra, Metula, Zarit, and Even Menachem. Magen David Adom paramedics said over 50 civilians have been treated so far, including two in Yesod Hamaale where two katyusha rockets exploded.

Severe pressure by the US (next door in Iraq) - also pressure by the French, and some serious threats by the UN that for once had some teeth...

.....of course it is known that Syria left behind a good bit of hidden arms and a fair number of operatives / military in civilian clothes - likewise over the 20+ years of control and occupation, Syria saw to it that 10s of thousands of Syrian nationals were relocated into Lebanon as permanent guests / settlers...

But don't forget the catalyst of the withdrawel: the assassination of Prime Minister Rafik Hariri purportedly by Syria. Follow link for updates: http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/currentawareness/hariri.php

EU Lashes Israel, Announces New Aid to PA
17:31 Jul 14, '06 / 18 Tammuz 5766

(IsraelNN.com) The European Union (EU) Friday continued to lash out at Israel for its reprisals against the Hizbullah terrorist infrastructure and also announced another $63 million in aid for the Palestinian Authority (PA). The money is earmarked for food distribution, basic health services and water and sanitation, according to a EU commission statement.

The EU has set up a mechanism to bypass the Hamas government, which the United States has blacklisted because it is a terrorist organization.

Louis Michel, commissioner for the aid, said he condemned the escalating violence but emphasized that civilians in the Gaza region and in Lebanon are "casualties of the Israeli blockades and incursions."

Bolton Officially Names Iran and Syria in Lebanon Conflict
July 14, 2006 11:20 AM EST

By Sher Zieve – In a speech given on Friday, UN Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton officially named Syria and Iran as collaborators in the current Israel-Lebanon conflict. Lebanon’s Syrian and Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah began the conflict by crossing into Israel, killing 7 Israeli soldiers and kidnapping 2.

Ambassador Bolton called upon both Iran and Syria to stop their support and continuing provocations toward continuing the conflict. He also called upon the newly elected Lebanese leadership to crack down on its own internal terrorist groups.

The Hezbollah actions against Israel are believed to have been begun under the auspices and leadership of Iran and Syria, in order to stop any actions by the UN Security Council towards Iran for its continuing nuclear development. Iran is thought to have its nuclear weapons development program underway.

I'm sorry, but I have the most confused look on my face right now. "lashing out at Israel for reprisals aginst a terrorist infrastructure"?! Why would they even ADMIT it's a terrorist infrastructure if they're trying to make Israel look bad??

Bush will not tell Israel to halt offensive: W.House
1 hour, 27 minutes ago

President Bush wants Israel to minimize the risk of casualties in its campaign in southern Lebanon, but will not press it to halt its military operation, the White House said on Friday.

White House spokesman Tony Snow told reporters that the U.S. leader spoke by telephone to Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora and other Middle East leaders as he sought to defuse a crisis between Israel and Hizbollah guerrillas in Lebanon.

Snow said Bush "believes the Israelis have the right to protect themselves and that in doing that they should limit as much as possible so-called collateral damage not only to facilities but also to human lives," Snow said.

Asked whether he agreed to Siniora's request to tell the Israelis to limit their military operations, Snow said: "No. The president is not going to make military decisions for Israel."

I can't believe he would be in there. He had to know they were coming after that building.
