Ehud: ISRAEL could end this war today if it wanted to carpet bomb or use nukes. But ISRAEL doesn't want to kill 100s of 1000s of its neighbors. It just won't let its neighbor have peace if its neighbor won't let IT have peace. If the same fractional HATRED wagged Israel as wags Lebanon, then there would be no Arabs alive within five hundred miles of Israel, and there would be a glass plane as a security zone where they had been. Israel is using minimal force against thugs who fire rockets from amidst civilians. Hezballah is maximizing Israeli AND Lebanese civilian death. jdf

Hezbollah is converting Lebanese houses, apartment buildings, and villages into TOPETH's to incinerate children. The god of which it is the party is M o l o c h. The sacrifices--shaheeds--are sacred to h i m, so Hezbollah, just like the ancient Lebanese, does not weep for them but CELEBRATES them. Hezbollahites are damned, and they think that they are blessed. Ritual: 1. Place child on target. 2. Call down FIRE on child by raining down fire on children. 3. Repeat until blessed with success. regional variant of ritual: (Gaza) combine steps 1. and 2. by directing a child wrapped in fire to a target co-located with other children to burn simultaneously with them. The varient ritual incorporates the Greek concept of the body as a temple, because the shaheed sacrifice becomes the fire (TOPETH/Temple) which consumes the children. The curious thing is why they bother, because It appears that they are all going to the fire anyway. If Mohammod was right, and all but one of 99 factions of Islam will go to hell, then Hezbollah is surely one of the ninety-eight. So are all the other Topheth worshippers.

Israel's cluster bombing of Southern Lebanon in August 2006 was a tactical success but a strategic error. It may have killed a few farmers and children, but it greatly strengthened Hezbollah's support.
