Day 17 of Olmert's military campaign against Lebanon sees no major changes. Civilians still being killed by the dozens by Israel's war machine with the blessings of Bush's team of liberators. There doesn't seem to be any efforts in sight to stop the bloodshed. The world watches on TV, feels bad but does nothing.
Lebanon has become part of Bush's New Middle East Project. The most democratic country in the Middle East, the most diverse country in the Middle East, the country whose people enjoy the most freedoms and rights in the Middle East is being punished for not being submissive. Meanwhile the root of extremism and champions of oppression are praised as moderate allies in the New Middle East.
Lebanon will be the example for the New Middle East alright. It won't be what the nincompoops in Washington are hoping for though. We will make it happen without invading countries or bullying people. Our will will not be bent. Our choices will be respected. We will set an example, that is beyond doubt.
What is questionable though is how long will Olmert be willing to do Bush's bidding in Lebanon. Is he dumb enough to turn Israel into a sacrificial lamb for Bush's failed experiments in the region? Well, he is, but how long will the Israelis put up with his ever-changing goals and diminishing expectations. He might've been angry, but he's starting to look more like Dazed Olmert, or In way over his head Olmert, or Singing-the Lebanon-blues Olmert, or ok You get the point.
Later....

actually Lebanon is not, Israel is...
Israel has MUCH more freedom of faiths
Israel has CITIZENS from almost every nation in the world.. Last time i checked Lebanon NEVER offered citizenship to the palestinians, israel DID and now 25% of it's citizens are arab!!!!!!!!!!!
stated: It seems that the ball breakage continues on both sides with no end in site...
on side has a plan, cut off a terrorist entity, a state of iran within the state of lebanon, bomb all infrastructure that pertains to that virus called hezbollah, notice how MOST of lebanon still has power? Israel COULD have taken that out and MOST all of lebanon is NOT under attack..
on the hezbollah side, there aim is to destroy israel and murder jews... so they launch 150 missiles a day at random targets to try to murder civilians..
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
stated: It seems obvious from a neutral standpoint that the Hezbollah need to be coerced into stopping the missile launchings into Israeli land and other hostile acts .
UN resolution 1559....
6 years old....
stated: The Lebanese government has proved incapable of doing this since the occupation so now apparently a UN force will need to step in.
good luck, they will most likely 1. help hezbollah kill jews (like they did before) 2. rape the lebanese women seeking food and shelter 3. steal expensive supplies and sell them on the black market to the people it was intended too.
stated: On the other side, how many more civilians and infrastructure must be destroyed before Israel and Olmert are satisfied....
I'd say not one more civilian, but about 5,000 hezbollah fighters, as for infrastructure, simple when hezbollah CANNOT fire rockets, the job will be done...
and dont forget the israel soldiers kipnapped that started this...
stated: What happened to brotherhood and value of human life ???
In the arab world jews have no rights, nor are they even considered human...
whereas in israel and the west, arabs are just as human as we....
Has it ever occurred to these people that I, Muhammad, who am their compatriot, am no lunatic? Do they not realize that I am giving a plain warning to them? Will they not ponder on the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, on all that God has created, to discern whether their doom is drawing near? And if they deny these revelations, what revelations will they believe? No one can guide those whom God leads astray. He abandons them, and they blunder about in their wickedness.

"occupation" and others for that matter,
feel free to comment anyway you like, but please no copy and pasted articles. Link them if you wish, but don;t steal them. It's against intellectual property laws and ethics.
will abide by your policy, but to let you know if you give full credit to those you reprint it is not a theft
Ok You've convinced me. Israel no longer has a"right" to exist.

There is no doubt..that Israel has occupied the land of Palestine, killing thousands of lives, raping thousands of women, destroying thousands of homes.
well actually there is quite a bit of doubt about the raping, in fact it sounds like a lie, as for the occupied land of palestine, yes it has liberated the historic JEWISH LANDS of palestine from the conquering islamic invaders...
learn history
Dania said.. There is no doubt..that Israel has always been the terrorist state.
again, yes plenty of doubt...
Dania said.. There is no doubt..that Israel has never respected any UN resolution.
do you remember the 1st resolution that israel followed that created the state, the one the arab world refuses to follow?
Dania said.. it is shameful of them talking about 1559.
no, one thing has nothing to do with another
Dania said.. There is no doubt..that Israel could not face Hizbullah resistence in Lebanon.
again, your point is pure trash
Dania said.. instead they quenched their thirst on the blood of innocent children.
wow, nice bullcrap...
Dania said.. There is no doubt..that the American-Israeli plan for a new middles east has been shattered to pieces by the heroic defense of Hizbullah.
it's not a defense to be on the offensive, and hezbollah is an iranian offense
Dania said.. There is no doubt..that one day all Palestinians will return to their homes.
lol, yes the true palestinians, the JEWS have returned to their homes...
thanks
I found this website that uses maps to depict the historical creation of israel in the last century.

just curious what you thought of it. is it a correct narrative of what happened?
I am not so sure anymore - is it really Olmert doing Bush's bidding or is it Bush doing Olmert's bidding?
Boy, tony Blair doesn't know when to quit.
jamal is a pussy fart!
