Those who have not woken up by now do not want to wake up. They prefer their dreams. Of peace. Love. Tranquility.

The parents of those children will only be able to visit them in their dreams. Remembering how scared they were in a basement of building. On the front line of Israeli terror.

And as they cowered beneath the barrage of blind hate. They died. Instantly. Mercilessly. And scared.

What a horrible death. Young. Scared. Murdered.

Yes, people don't want to wake up. They're too afraid of what they'll see.

It is sad that Iraq was invaded on the belief they had WMD. Yet Israel has demonstrated that they not only have WMD but they are willing to use them.

I have listened in disgust to the political pundits attempt to not only revise the historical events of this crisis but also put the blame of civilian deaths in Lebanon squarely on Hezbollah. I believe the world in general is not falling for this spin doctoring and the images speak for themselves.

These horrific acts must come to an end. Most importantly Israel and her allies must stop fooling themselves into believing that the deliberate targeting of innocent civilians is the fault of Hezbollah. They are the ones dropping the bombs and they are the ones cutting off the escape of civilians that other wise would leave the area.

Again this is revisionist history. Hezbollah did cross the border and attack soldiers. Soldiers! This is deemed acceptable in warfare. Israel then proceeded to decimate South Lebanon and cut off the escape of any innocent person trying to flee.

We have to stop the nonsense that Hezbollah is hiding behind civilians. Weather they are or not how does that ever give a country the right to indiscriminately blow up innocent people? I could see if Israeli bombs knew exactly where the Hezbollah fighters were and then blew up that house but they don't.

We tend to think that this is hot pursuit. That an Israeli fighter pilot saw his target run into a specific house and then blew it up. That is not what is happening and if it does it is a rare case. They pick a target, and we have seen that the target could even be a U.N. post, and then they pull the trigger and they could care less who they kill.

The same holds true for Hezbollah. None of them really could care who is killed. It is all madness. The point is that Israel is supposed to be better than that. At least that is what we in the U.S. are fed day in and day out. Israel and the U.S. have shown that diplomacy is always the last option and killing to gain the objective of so called liberty is ok.

Shame in Israel, shame on Hezbollah, and shame on the U.S. for turning a blind eye to these war crimes.

Like it or not, the deaths of these innocents lays at the feet of Hezbollah's leader, not Israel. Real men, real leaders do not hide behind women and children when they decide to wage war. Hezbollah members are lowly swine who should be marched down the streets in dresses so that the citizens of Lebanon see them as the pansies they truly are.

I agree! The problem is people on both sides accept killing as being ok. Real men don't kill! They find a way to talk it out.

Again, nothing justifies killing innocent people. You can tell yourself that over and over again to try and sleep at night but it will never be true. This is not self defense!

I am no Hezbollah apologist but apparently the people of Lebanon support the work they have done specifically the social programs. The U.S. throws the label terrorist around and expects people to just accept that label. I am not saying that Hezbollah are not terrorists but there must be a fine line between terrorist and sovereign nation. What do we call our U.S. troops that rape Iraqi children and kill unarmed families? I'll tell you what we call them. We say they are suffering from the stresses of war! Hogwash! What is true for one murderer must be the same for the other.

It is all madness on both sides. It is sad that people are trying to get the world to form the opinion that so called self defense would be ok in this instance. The world is not buying it. We were already sold a bill of goods on Iraq so I doubt people have the stomach for this.

Israel is going to lose this one. The have nowhere to go. They just shut themselves in the foot today with the pornography in Qana. Senioura won't meet with Rice anymore; now he's basically demanding the same thing as Hezbollah, which is an immediate ceasefire. If we can hold on until the ceasefire, I think we are heading towards a real historical accomplishment.

Israel is doing what it must to protect it's citizens. The courageous Hezbollah fighters are hiding behind children and their leadership hopes that these innocents will be killed for their propaganda war. Seems like the strategy is working for the time being. The 48 hour truce will be upheld by the Israelis while the bombings from Lebanon continue. I predict that eventually the gloves will come off and the Lebanese will really feel the pain. I fear that those within Lebanon that are willing to fight against the fascist Islamics have either been killed or run off. This is a war of ideas free thinking society or one that is enslaved by a religion that demands strict adherence with the penalty often means death.

Qana massacre revisited.
IDF claimed it was a mistake at that time.
To refresh your memories,the first Qana massacre took away the lives of 100's of children
It was investigated by Amnesty International and they concluded:
"The IDF intentionally attacked the UN compound, although the motives for doing so remain unclear. The IDF have failed to substantiate their claim that the attack was a mistake. Even if they were to do so they would still bear responsibility for killing so many civilians by taking the risk to launch an attack so close to the UN compound".

Human rights watch said about that massacre:
"The decision of those who planned the attack to choose a mix of high-explosive artillery shells that included deadly anti-personnel shells designed to maximize injuries on the ground -- and the sustained firing of such shells, without warning, in close proximity to a large concentration of civilians -- violated a key principle of international humanitarian law".

This is not lebanese propaganda. These are independent international organizations conducting objective research. and their conclusions are obvious.

Somethings never change.
This is not a war against hizbolla. This is not a war against Lebanon. This is extermination.
This is the Jewish state perpetuating Nazi crimes, simply.

And please stop using the excuse of hizbolla hiding behind civilians. How come IDF has missed them every single time, only to hit children, women and men hiding in shelters?

Its fine you don’t agree with me, as Americans we have the right to disagree and not be beheaded. Just to clear the Jewish thing up, I’m not Jewish if I were I would be right there fighting with the IDF. The way I see it Israel and the jews have been taking arab/muslim crap for way too long and its about time they really hit back. Hitler couldn’t wipe the jews out and the muslims wont either.

Since you don’t understand the Syria and Iran connection to all this, do the US and world a favor and pull your head out of the sand long enough to see what is going on !!!!!!!! I wonder if the memories of 9-11 have left you? Maybe you are aware of the shootings in Seattle, Texas, Denver, Maryland etc.. or the muslim with the suv at unc, the war is already on for alot of us here in the US.

“My stupid war” …… it seems that whenever we see the Islamic nuts there are two things they love to get across 1 Death to Isreal 2 Death to America and you can just sub the UK now and then. Unlike the code pick whackos like yourself I don’t think saying “lets just all get along” is going to work with these stone age nuts. In the US we always are wanting to save tax payers money so while we have the armed forces sitting right there in Iraq we are in a great position to take care of Syria and Iran without having to redeploy. At the same time we can start to clean out the 48 states of the worthless pockets here like CAIR and Dearborn.

I know this sounds harsh to you but I’m one American who doesn’t want to see America become an Islamic country as France has become. I don’t want to see my daughters put back to the stone age as property or being hung if there raped or have to cover there face and body so men wont be provoked to rape them. To have to worry about a cousin or uncle doing an honor killing. Being called to prayer five times a day (no wonder there still in the stone age there always praying and cant get anything done) its just not the American way this so called “religion of peace”.
You say “don’t pull Americans in to you stupid war!” like we have a choice of not facing this head on. Back in the early 30’s if countries stood up to Hitler it would have not been as bad as waiting till we didn’t have a choice. It was the peaceniks like yourself that cost the world many more lives by waiting and letting the Nazis get stronger and stronger. I don’t like war and killing but there is a time that we have to realize its them or us. Isn’t it a great thing that we speak English and not German here. The war is coming the only question is when. If Jimmy Carter had the balls we wouldn’t be facing this today! Thank god we didn’t have John Kerry in the white house, if so the UN would be running the US and Israel would already be wiped off the map.


I’m not trying to offend anyone just telling it the way I see it as an informed American. Unless you consider BBC, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS NBS, NY Times, Wash Post etc your only form of information then I would consider you having blinders on.
Not that it matters has anyone viewed the video “ Obsession” ? Just wondering if you considered it fact or fiction? After seeing the staged reporting from the past one really doesn’t know what is real and what is staged but one thing is for sure you cant miss “DEATH TO AMERICA” all over it and it starts from the kids much like the old racism of the kkk.

I just want everyone to understand that not all Americans "think" like anonymous 12:32. I find it hard to believe that this person does not like killing and war. The us or them mentality is ridiculous.

How anyone cannot be affected by the photos of small children murdered by the Israeli military, is beyond me.

Anyway, not all of America thinks this way. There are alot of us who hope for an end to this nightmare in Lebanon and wish you peace.

To Anonymous 12:32, (and inherently the other anonymous persons posting on this blog)

With all due respect to you, I do not think you are the informed American you claim you are. Before I explain, I would like to note that no one on this blog is actually going to bite you for revealing who you are or expressing your opinions, even if hypothetically speaking you are one of those employed to support the IDF propaganda campaign on the net.

From your last post it seems that the justification behind your opinion is mainly driven by the generic stereotypical stuff that go around the media. Informed Americans don't stereotype, and rarely listen to any media. I'll respond to the comments that caught my eye, and hope that there is some sort of civilised dialogue here. I personally dont think these discussions go anywhere, but communication does ease the understanding from both sides.

-- You can disagree anywhere in the Middle East and not get beheaded.You only get beheaded in Saudi Arabia if you rape, kill, or traffic drugs. Its like putting someone on deathrow, but with more principles around it.

-- Jews have not been taking crap from people of the Middle East, its only Zionists, and that represents an ideological diversion of the religion. Yes, there has been a long and historical struggle between Israel and the Arab world. That is a huge subject to discuss, but remember where the casualties weigh more.

-- Israel has always been hitting back. The state has never turned the other cheek and retaliated just now as your comment implies

-- Hitler would have achieved all his objectives if it was not for the intervention of the US into the war. Naturally, the US and Europe had an incentive to do that so they can create Israel to keep trouble outside their own borders.

-- The memories of 9/11 have not left anyone. If you read history you will understand why 9/11 happened.

-- The media does not dictate Islam as a religion of peace, the Quran does. I suggest you take a good read at the book and reach the same conclusions that you did. Naturally, politics and the rise of political Islam have led to the extremist acts that you cite, so you have to take these with a grain of salt

-- Violence in the US does not have a religion. Its a fact of the land. Mind you, we also remember Columbine, the Oklahoma Unibomber, and others that I'm sure you remember.

-- The US never has to re-deploy any armies if they choose to attack anyone. Your taxpayer money also funds permanent military bases spread around the Middle East.

-- Your tax-payer money is supposed to fund every American citizen's pursuit of the American Dream, not the budget deficit.

-- America will never become like France as you say because the demographic setup does not naturally allow for such a thing. Mind you however that the number of Muslims in the US is almost the same as France except that the proportion of that with respect to the total population obviously differs.

-- Muslims and Arabs who live in North America actually like it, and immigrated there in pursuit of the same ambitions as every other non-American immigrant

-- Prayers actually take no more than 5-10 minutes each

-- Is the racism of the KKK old?

It is a great thing we all speak English. I don't think I would have survived under a German led world either. And yes, Carter and Kerry were not that great candidates, but rest assured that the principles in American Foreign policy remain consistent from presidency to the other as far as bottom lines are concerned.

Is the war coming? Not in its conventional forms. DP World made headline news for two weeks and took helm in the corridors of Congress. China's culture and corporate creep has begun.

As an informed American, I think your attitude would be different if you took a deeper thought at your pledge of allegiance...especially the part that says : 'with liberty, and justice for all'

This administration has taken us back to a medieval view of the world. And unfortunately that appeals to many individuals who view taking life as an acceptable alternative that will some how lead to peace as they view it.

This is a President that says he does not pay attention to polls. The polls are the voice of the people. He has no respect for the science of polling, and no respect for science and civilization at all for that matter. Believe it or not this is very appealing for people that would burn witches or say that the universe revolves around the earth.

I live in America and I am glad that there are so many people that can see through the insanity. It gives me comfort to know that not just people of Lebanese heritage are speaking out about this crisis…

Those who hold the opinion that Arabs are all terrorists, should simply be ignored and laughed at the same as those that still believe we never walked on the moon or that snake oil really can cure your ailments, or that people of color grow tails after midnight.
Laugh them in to shame! Giggle at them the way you would the guy that thinks he is so cool wearing the Saturday Night Fever polyester suit and platform shoes standing in the subway thinking he is the ultimate chick magnet. Because that is about how silly they sound. They just don’t have a clue.

We have all seen the KKK member on TV who spits out his venom and even has his children dressed in white robes. It makes us angry but we immediately see that these unfortunate souls are bound and enslaved to their ignorance. In fact you have to feel sorry that such a wretch is imprisoned by such small thinking. His anger and hatred have led him to a complete state of misery and he only wishes to spread that to others. He feels like he is in control when he gets attention and a reaction. The only suitable reaction for such a person is laughter and good thoughts and prayers that one day he will walk out of the ice age a civilized person.

Who is HIDING? The link to my site is RIGHT UNDER MY NAME. You may not like my views, but it is the truth....Hezbollah and their pigs are the cause of all this pain and suffering. They started the war, and they are so chicken, that they use women and children as human shields, which makes them worse than Hitler ever thought of being.

You want to end Lebanon's pain, want the West's help in rebuilding Lebanon, then renouce Terrorism, and renouce Hezbollah, as they are ONE AND THE SAME.

porgie,

stop talking bullshit. i feel sorry for you. cant you see that the whole world realized that this is state sponsored terror except the israeli government, the UK, and the US? even the Israelis and the British and the American people have realized that by now. and you are still buying the propaganda they sell you. go read som history and learn something useful instead of spreading your stupid shit on the web. do you even know how hizbollah even started as an ideology? so you know when, and why?
do you see what is happening in Iraq and Palestine?
they claim they want to eliminate terror in the middle east, yet they are the one practicing it themselves, murdering innocent people in the name of self defense.
and do you know what that gives rise to? thought not. they have angered so many people, that for every little child they killed, hundreds of fighters are born. great way to spread the message of peace.
please dont reply to me unless you have something other than your stupid statements (which you have been spoonfed)to share.

The war is being covered a great deal and daily with pics at Jew Watch which is at http://www.jewwatch.com

It would be very good if this were made known on all posts and blogs dealing with the crisis.

Jew Watch tends to be very pro-Palistine and pro-Lebanon and anti-US-Israel Colonial Empire.

Please be sure your readers on all of these blogs are aware of this in your postings.

We have a family of Lebanese living in our apartment block. While I certainly can't generalise about all Lebanese these particular ones are the most inconsiderate, ignorant, selfish fuckers that I've ever met. They shout at the tops of their voices at every opportunity, play football in the corridors (indoors) when there's a local park nearby, and leave litter everywhere. When you approach them they pretend not to understand, despite us being able to speak to them in French as well as English. So thank goodness the war has ended and these wankers can go home. Maybe Israel bombed their country because they were making too much noise over there :)
