Yo-Bush, your Israeli buddies are attacking Christians - God will not
be pleased with you.

Entry for Saturday 22 July 2006
http://www.juancole.com/


That is, Israel on Saturday attacked and partially crippled the media outlets of the Christian and Sunni factions in the Cedar Revolution that Bush and his supporters trumpeted as the foundation of the "new Middle East."

It also further endangered millions of Lebanese civilians.

Israeli political and military elites are clearly upset that they have not been able to monopolize images and reporting of their vicious total war on Lebanese society, Christian, Sunni, Druze and Shiite. Attacking Lebanese television is an attempt to ensure that the war is seen only through the lens of Israeli media, which are censored by the Israeli military. I.e., full spectrum dominance of news and images.

Lebanese Broadcasting Company, a Christian-owned concern, is not a legitimate Israeli target in its struggle against Hizbullah's rockets in the far south of Lebanon.

This was another Israeli war crime.

1. The plan is to
destroy all communications out of Lebanon - radio, TV, cell towers, electric transmission lines, phone lines, roads, bridges, ports, and airports. Then they will carpet bomb the place with weapons the U.S. has rushed to them, and ethnically cleanse the place in true Old Testament - but definitely not Christian - style. Nobody will be able to report any of this. The US government is completely complicit.
The Pope has already condemned this aggression. Other Christian leaders ought to be speaking up, too.

2. They're Maronite and Syrian Orthodox Christians
They're Orthodox, not Fundamentalist. Just some weird people that worship icons and stand up when they're in church. Nobody important. :evilfrown:

My co-worker is Lebanese, and is Syrian Orthodox. He hates the Fundies as much as I do, even though he's politically more conservative.

7. Missed point (irony) alert
I was hoping to lever the blind Xian fundie in Bush, just to save a few lives.

And no, I am becoming more pro-Muslim by the day.
