3. Lou Dobbs and others said the Israelis were attacking the Islamofacists...
...in Lebanon recently.

I doubt the smart bombs we sell Israel are smart enough that they can't tell the difference between a Muslim or a Christian.

2. I think you're going to have to explain that one a bit better

My telepathy doesn't seem to be working at the moment.

I can read your post, but not your mind.

4. IMHO it confirms it
Just look at the statements coming out of Syria and Iran.
You may not like the term Islamofascist but muslim extremists exist, individually and collectively as terrorist organizations and as states. In the case of Lebanon, Hezbollah and Hamas are de facto nation states in their respective areas - nation states who have declared war on Israel and nation states Israel is entirely justified in eradicating.
