Simple, non-inflammatory choices.

3. and damn them for doing it.eom

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. of course, they did.

hell, how many of our boats have they attacked, when they wanted us NOT to see what they were doing?
And never forget some of the stolen code that AIPAC got that might, just might, allow Israel to turn away or turn off our spy satellites over certain areas of interest.
And don't forget how they have - never mind.
Israel's moves are pure evil. Puts them in the same place as our administration.

7. Artillery seems to be blanketing all of southern Lebanon indiscriminately

Twenty-thousand shells or more fired so far, 24 hours a day. But apparently, the UN on the scene says that it was an airborne type of device that hit the UN post. If we are to believe the UN, they gave 16 warnings in the hours before the strike, to tell the Israel military they were coming too close. Also, from what CNN reported, Israeli airstrikes continued firing missles very close to the UN compound during the rescue operation itself.

That said, however, I marked "not sure". How can you be sure? But Israel is not helping itself by forbidding journalists from going into southern Lebanon to act as impartial observers.

8. It's comforting how smart we are here at DU

I mean it doesn't seem like there's much room for any doubt at all.

14. Are you being ironic?

Because there is nothing comforting about being on DU these days. And being around righteousness of any kind is a danger signal.

[stepnw1f]

17. righteousness indeed

I concur.

[bryant69]

23. Yes i am being ironic.

Kind of ruins it when you have to explain the joke.

[Sensitivity]

9. 14 Missiles Launched -Israel has worlds best battlefield Intelligence

[ShortnFiery]

10. All I really know for sure is that Israel should not hold their breath

waiting for that NATO force to help them secure their "buffer zone."

There will be NO stabilization force save for Israel itself.

[shadowknows69]

13. I don't think they want anyone stopping their little war

n/t

[Clarkie1]

22. I don't share your outright pessimism on that. nt

[CuteNFuzzy]

12. No question, of course they did

[me b zola]

15. yes. n/t

[jonnyblitz]

16. yes. nt

[QuestionAll...]

19. yes it was deliberate.

and what's anyone going to do about it?

Really. What the hell can be done about it and by whom?
The IDF can do whatever they please, bust anyone up they please, because they have the neocon protection team. It's like a wrestling tag team from hell.

[Clarkie1]

21. Regardless of how likely one feels it is they did or didn't....

the only really honest answer anyone can give at this point is "not sure."

Edit: For the record, I think it is extremely unlikely they did because there is no motive. In fact, the motive would be for them to avoid hitting the U.N.
