31. Lebanese Govt COLLUDEDwith HIZBULLAHfor Israel'sANNIHILATION
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.10.06)
Terrorist Hizbullah is a member of Lebanon's government with seats in the cabinet. Lebanon's government colluded with Hizbullah in unprovoked, vicious acts of war against Israel. Lebanese army radars were used to lock in Israeli targets for Hizbullah missile crews. Lebanon's government and Hizbullah are one and the same! YNETNEWS (08.12.06, 16:52) Siniora accepts deal, praises Hizbullah ...steadfastness of resistance fighters in field was very important,' http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3290107,00.html IslamoFascists lie about the number of civilians wounded and killed. Photo Fraud in Lebanon Aish.com's new movie:http://www.aish.com/movies/JP/PhotoFraud.asp Iran's terrorist army Hizbullah rained down over 4,000 rockets on Israeli population centers - the rockets packed with ball bearings to maximize the suffering of Israeli victims. Israel's third largest city Haifa, was under regular rocket barrage. Over one million Jews were forced to live in bomb shelters for one month. Embedded in densely populated civilian areas Hizbullah despicably shoot from inside mosques, hospitals and schools in south Lebanon. Hizbullah committed war crimes using Lebanese civilians as human shields to protect rocket launching teams who set up rockets and other weapons in apartment blocks, schools and mosques. Images show Hizbullah using high-density residential areas to launch rockets: http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,,19955774-5007220,00.html Lebanon's government and Iran's guerrilla army, Hizbullah share responsibility for causing all of the deaths, injuries and damage wrought in Lebanon and Israel. Tiny Israel, surrounded by 22 huge, hostile Arab nations fights a battle for survival in the war to bring all nations under Islamic subjugation. Israel - on the frontlines of global jihad fights for the freedom and human rights of all nations - Israel's enemies are the enemies of the free world. The Innocent Bystander Myth Evelyn Gordon, THE JERUSALEM POST July 20, 2006 ...Far from being smuggled in without the government's knowledge, weapons earmarked for Hizbullah arrived openly in Beirut Airport almost every week - and the airport, unlike southern Lebanon, is fully controlled by the government and the Lebanese army. Yet the government never ordered the army to confiscate these shipments. Regular arms shipments also came overland from Syria. Yet these, too, passed openly and without hindrance through border crossings controlled by the Lebanese government. The Lebanese army has even openly assisted Hizbullah during the past week's fighting. Hizbullah's successful missile strike on an Israeli naval vessel Friday night, for instance, would have been impossible had the army's radar stations not given Hizbullah the ship's coordinates. Hizbullah does not have radar stations of its own. Far from repudiating Hizbullah's attacks on Israel, the Lebanese government has actively defended, facilitated and assisted them at every turn. There are thus no grounds for treating it as an innocent party in this conflict...
32. Let the battle of Megiddo begin
James ,   USA   (09.10.06)
Perhaps we should just give all our weapons to those who hate democracy. and encourage all of them to form up against Israel, as we know prophecy indicates will happen. The we can see the ushering in of the Age of HaMoshiach, and True peace in Jerusalem.
33. What a Joke
Joshua ,   USA   (09.10.06)
30 Mil is nothing, this can barley pay salaries to the 15000 active duty soldiers positioned in the south and Syrian borders and few reliable rifles.
34. Siniora
David ,   US   (09.10.06)
Hasn't Siniora praised Hiz'ballah and said Lebanon will be the last country to negotiate with Israel?
35. LOSING Our FREEDOM. INDOCTRINATING U.S. Children into ISLAM
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.10.06)
U.S. public schools infamous for their hostility to Christianity and Judaism are indoctrinating America's children into Islam. Breaking G-D's commandment: "You shall have no other gods before Me", America's children are being taught to follow a god we and our ancestors, never knew. As American soldiers fight and die in Iraq, we have lost our freedom in America. WorldNetDaily.com December 13, 2003 JUDICIAL JIHAD Judge rules Islamic education OK in California classrooms Dismisses suit opposing requirement students recite Quran, pray to Allah Requiring seventh-grade students to pretend they're Muslims, wear Islamic garb, memorize verses from the Quran, pray to Allah and even to play "jihad games" in California public schools has been legally upheld by a federal judge, who has dismissed a highly publicized lawsuit brought by several Christian students and their parents... ...the suit was filed by the Thomas More Law Center against the Byron Union School District and various school officials to stop the use of the "Islam simulation" materials and methods used in the Excelsior Elementary School in Byron, Calif. The World History and Geography class in question is part of a curriculum being taught to seventh-graders all over the state, and is included in the state's curriculum standards required by the state board of education. Although the standards outline what subjects should be taught and will be included in state assessment tests, they don't mandate how they're to be taught. In the three-week course, Excelsior teacher Brooke Carlin had students assume Islamic names, recite prayers in class, memorize and recite verses from the Quran, and had them simulate Ramadan fasting by going without something for a day. The final test required students to critique Muslim culture. The Islam simulations at Excelsior are outlined in the state-adopted textbook "Across the Centuries," published by Houghton Mifflin, which prompts students to imagine they are Islamic soldiers and Muslims on a Mecca pilgrimage. The lawsuit also alleges students were encouraged to use such phrases in their speech as "Allah Akbar," which is Arabic for "God is great," and were required to fast during lunch period to simulate fasting during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. "While public schools prohibit Christian students from reading the Bible, praying, displaying the Ten Commandments, and even mentioning the word 'God,' students in California are being indoctrinated into the religion of Islam..." http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=36118

Joshua ,   USA   (09.11.06)
I am not sure what kind of harm will this harmless “education” does to our children? By the way you are probable referring also to high school students at University of North Carolina were required to reading “Approaching The Quran” By Michael Sells is professor of religion at Haverford College in Pennsylvania.
38. Is Lebanon even an Islamic state?
Omar ,   Lebanon   (09.15.06)
I'm surprised that many here are oblivious that Lebanon is actually run by "CHRISTIAN" presidents, something which Muslims themselves supported over previous Druze regimes generations ago. One of such presidents is *Emile Lahoud*, who is presently accused by the MARCH 14 Group (Christian and Sun'ni Muslim collision group) for co-operating with Syria, one of Hizballah's ally nations, and blamed for killing Rafiq Hariri in 2/14/2004, an ex-Prime Minister who was a charismatic Sun'ni Muslim, businessman, and ally to the United States -- unlike Hizballah for a change, which still obtains the opposite status with the States. Futhermore, the Lebanese Army is divided into Christians (Catholics, Orthodox and Maranites), Sun'ni Muslims, Shi'a Muslims, and Druze. Trust me, they were even looking out for Hizballah and Lebanese Forces from time to time, since they both clash internally in Beirut. If there are any members who support Hizballah will be the Shi'a Muslims in the army. And besides, I'll bet none of you have traveled to Lebanon yet to learn who's a friend or a foe. I lived there until the war started, and I understand the broader picture now. Why are you afraid of a nation's army that has no other threat but to arrest people with invalid papers on checkpoints, and are ruled over by "Christian" presidents? The Lebanese Army needs the external aid to at least block Shi'ite boys from south Beirut from clashing in northern neighborhoods in the near future. And besides, as long as innocent people die or get hurt due to IDF's miscalculations, why wouldn't Siniora, the "Prime Minister", move back away from making peace with Israel? You should know how sensitive Lebanese people are now with their fragile peace with Hizballah, their cancer, still around to further aggitate them at home.

commander ivan crush ,   Russia, Moscow   (10.13.06)
