The prime minister of Israel, Ehud Olmert, referring to how his country would respond to having two of their soldiers kidnapped by Hezbollah, told a joint news conference with visiting Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, "The Lebanese government is responsible. Lebanon will pay the price."

Adhering to his favorite policy of collective punishment, Olmert, added, "...those responsible for the attack will pay a high and painful price." So attack a country because a rebel group in south Lebanon captured two soldiers. And so the madness continues, as an Israeli air strike on a house in Gaza on what they claimed was targeting a "Hamas top militant leader" killed nine Palestinians, including seven children from one family.

Syrian Vice President Faruq al-Shara stated recently that Israel's occupation of Arab land lays at the root of the new crisis that found Israeli troops entering Lebanon. Let's have some more jet fuel. Looks like I've picked an interesting time to visit Syria.

Meanwhile, Baghdad burns as over 100 people have been killed in sectarian violence since Sunday.

"The fighting is everywhere, and there is no way the Americans can control it now," Abu Talat adds, "The Shia are fighting each other for control of Basra, while also fighting the Sunni."

"It is civil war now in Iraq, no doubt," he continues, "But no matter who you ask, no one will admit it. Because people are too afraid to admit this. People prefer to deny it."

1. I wish the msm would report like Dahr Jamail

[stellanoir]

3. I second that

and would that it were.

[Erika]

2. I suggest we cut off funding to Israel

They might talk peace instead of war.

[Catrina]

4. Yes, cut off funding to all those who use violence to

resolve their problems. I just read that Iran has warned Isael about going into Syria.

Michael Ledeen's dream may come true after all. The whole ME turned into a cauldron, which was predicted by Scowcroft before the Iraq War. Ledeen's response was that no place was more deserving of being turned into a cauldron that the ME and he uttered something like Bush's 'bring it on'.

Bush needs to tell Israel to stop, now! Let the International community get involved to negotiate whatever issues there are ~ and stop funding them, I agree ~

6. Can't help thinking

if this isn't part of the plan. B*SH wants to attack
Iran. If this inflames the region so much that
fighting erupts between Iran and Israel, the pukes
have their entry into the war they want, and they
get to throw in more Hitler analogies too as a
bonus.

5. Why are you an anti-semite?

That's the standard establishment response to level-headed criticisms of Israel.
