Re: Israel, The Warmonger

The Issue is far beyond the capturing of couple of IDF soldiers, Hizballah has captured before IDF soldiers,and there was no war at the time.
Israel has an agenda of its own and that is to destroy Lebanon, because beleive it or not Lebanon is the real treat to Israel not military speaking but ideologically.
As some of you already know, Lebanon is the only country in the Meadle east that is democratic.
Lebanon is the only multi-sectarian and multi-cultural country in the region, were different cultures coexist in peace, and this is what threatens Israel.
The very foundation of Israel is based on discrimination and racism against non-xxxs.
Another reason for destroying Lebanon is that, lebanon is the only country in the region that can compete Israel economically, because it has the human potential, and the business oriented mind of the Lebanese.

One thing is sure, that people and children are dying (100 death 250 injured uptill now), the coutry is being ravaged by a cowered army that targets Civilians.
And as Always the World comunity is watching, to hell with them all.....

Israel has far reaching plans and the fact that it is using the excuse of two soldiers being 'kidnapped', is interesting. It is merely an excuse and a pretext for a wider regional goal, namely taking out Syria and Iran, and at the same time trying to force the United States' hand into it.

Re: War in The Middle East

Typical. The G8 'leaders' are calling on 'extremists' (i.e. the A-rabs) to halt the violence and release the Israeli soldiers while only saying Israel should exercise 'restraint'.

G8 blames "extremists" for Mideast violence

ST PETERSBURG, Russia (Reuters) - Group of Eight leaders on Sunday issued a carefully-crafted statement on the Middle East that blamed extremists for an upsurge in violence and called on Israel to be restrained in responding to attack.

After lengthy discussions to bridge differences over how to respond to the dramatic upsurge in violence the leaders of the world's richest nations blamed Lebanon's Hizbollah and elements in Hamas for starting a crisis that has left dozens dead.

It described those responsible as "extremists" and called on them to immediately halt their attacks.

"These extremist elements and those that support them cannot be allowed to plunge the Middle East into chaos," said the text.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the G8 was demanding Hizbollah release two Israeli soldiers it captured on Wednesday and halt rocket attacks on Israel. An attack deep into Israel on Sunday hit the port city of Haifa and left at least eight dead.

"We demand first that the Israeli soldiers be returned to Israel healthy, that the attacks on Israel cease, and then naturally for Israel to halt military action," she told reporters.

The G8 statement said the return of captives and an end to rocket attacks was needed to create the "conditions for a cessation of violence," putting the onus on Hizbollah to act first to end the fighting.

The G8 said Israel had the right to defend itself, a position that the United States, the xxxish state's biggest backer, has repeatedly taken when asked if it will call on the Israelis to halt their intense bombardment of Lebanon.

But the statement added that Israel had to be mindful of "the strategic and humanitarian consequences of its actions" and should exercise utmost restraint to avoid civilian casualties, damage to infrastructure and the destabilization of the fragile Lebanese coalition government.

Merkel said that as part of efforts to end Israeli-Hizbollah fighting in Lebanon, G8 leaders want a new military observer force for the country.

"We are firmly convinced that the Lebanese government must be given all manner of support to implement U.N. resolutions on southern Lebanon. We ask that in addition to the U.N. activities, an additional observer and security mission be set up. That must be done through the U.N.," she told reporters.

The United Nations and European Union have sent peace missions to Lebanon and are expected to report back to the U.N. Security Council on Thursday.

They may recommend an expansion of the current 2,000-strong U.N. force in southern Lebanon.

Five days of cross-border bombardments on Lebanon by Israeli forces and rocket attacks into Israel by their Hizbollah militant foes have left dozens of civilians dead and raised fears of a regional conflict.

Whoever's at fault, whatever happened, happens, and will happen, I think I'm pretty certain the roots of all these escalated conflicts can somehow be traced back to Zidane and the World Cup Final.

Re: War in The Middle East

Unfortunately, even though Putin hosted the summit, it seems he had little to say about the outcome. I guess Russia still has a way to go to twist some arms and beat some heads in. A real tragedy for the people of Lebanon.

WE all here are wishing that immidiate ceasfire should be implemented, but as always the order should come from the great powers (US, France,Russia,Britain etc...)as well as Iran, but for the time being theire own agenda matters more than the lives of innocent civilians....
