"This time the Israelis have united the people"

Gabriel Mansouraty left Beirut in 1981 during fierce fighting that led to an Israeli invasion. He settled in El Paso, Texas, as a manager of a plastics company, and took his American wife and two sons to Lebanon to show how the land of his birth had made a success of itself after years of strife.

"None of my family had seen Lebanon and I have not been back for 25 years," said 53-year-old Mr Mansouraty. "I was amazed by what has been achieved, the new buildings, the restaurants, the roads the great lifestyle. One only really appreciates that if one knew how devastated the place was. And now this.

"The Israelis have destroyed the buildings, the roads and that lifestyle. They have put the country back 30 years. I cannot believe this all happened because of the capture of two soldiers. This must have been months in planning.

"The only good thing is this; back in 1981 it was Christians fighting Muslims with the Israelis instigating much of it. This time the Israelis have united the people. I stayed in a Christian neighbourhood and people there opened up their homes to the Muslims."

Emile Maroud, also a Christian, believes there is an Israeli agenda aimed at stopping Lebanon making progress. He said: "I had no time for the PLO and I have no time for Hizbollah. But this is about more than that. Israel does not want to see another modern, progressive state in the region."

1. This is what I feared would happen

the aggression seems to only be helping Hezbollah.

2. Goes to show how effective emotional propaganda can be

And now Israel is one of Hizbolla's most effective recruiters -- rah rah for Israel.

Meanwhile they will secure the water resources of Lebanon.

This is a war about WATER --



But gee -- the nasty old evil Hizbolla make a darn good enemy. And as the people of Lebanon join the Hizbolla -- well they will need to be eradicated.

The whole objective is to secure the water resource.

Israel is living like a European nation which has unlimited access to water -- swimming pools, lush lawns etc. The fact is Israel is a desert -- and water is a limited resource in the middle East.

This is a war about WATER --


But the magicians want you to look at the really bad guys (that they themselves created) the Hizbolla (and man do these guys look foul -- like evey movie villain wrapped into one guy -- these guys play the part of villain like it was written for them.)

GUESS what?? you are looking in the wrong place -- the real issue is WATER.

And water is why Israel can't use all the nukes it has so lovingly stock piled.

edited for links to back up my theories:'

http://www.iasps.org/strat1.htm -- this one is a NEOCON website -- and their view of the WATER issue.

And they agree with my theory -- in fact they thought of it first.

3. I've seen this on another thread

and I think it is important enough to post as a thread of its own.

4. agreed that this should have a thread of its own--it is that important.

5. Agreed. Needs to be more than a subthread

Why not call it "It's the water!" That will surely bring a tear to the fans of the old Olympia brand beer. LGBT groups in Olympia, WA have used it on banners also.
