The howls from the Israeli lobby in the US get more illogical day by day. The pathetic attack on the Goldstone Report is the turning point for many in the USA who without thinking always used to follow the lobby's line. Perhaps ynetnews can follow up on the "Iranian Arms Story" The last I heard was this in a Lebanese news outlet. "Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said Friday that Israeli claims about an alleged arms ship sent from Iran to Hizbullah were fabricated by Israel to target the resistance, which he stressed had the right to obtain weapons from “anywhere in the world.” The speaker added that Israel’s capture of a ship near Cyprus was also a bid to deflect attention away from the Goldstone report, on Israeli war crimes during the Gaza war. " So what actually did happen?

any time the hazbalah name comes up thats time for the zionests all over the world to start crying not barking.

It is the americans that can seem to put their head to the correct action on Iran. It is not that the House of Representative dosent know the Military Threat Of Ahmedinejad and his REGIM. It is not the we dont know the TRUTH that many Iranians are SUFFERING under teh REGIM of Ahmedinehad. DISTRACTION is the ART IN POLITICS. DISTRACTION is the TOOL of the GAME. We know Michel and his wife Wafaa. Wafaa is a good friend with my wife, But went to French school..te last time we were in lebonan....the tewo girls went ..she eheheh ..goodness all spoke in french.... I meet Michel in Belgium in 1971 :) Nice fellow you know :-) A jeww from singapore :-) and he received the Légion d'honneur or Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur.:-))) the Us Govet been give aid for lebonese people. The CREDIT GOES TO MR, GEORGE BUSH the best American President of the Millinium. ben singapore ben singapore

It seems incredible that Saad Hariri would visit Assad of Syria who is likely to be responsible for ordering the blast that killed Hariri senior & several others in Lebanon. But a similar case hapened when Arafat embrassed King Hussein of Jordan not many years after the Jordan Legion killed touthands of restless Palestinian refugees in his country. However the personal involvement of the Hariri family makes his case even more supernatural.

All the sanctions in the world will not dissuade Iran from pursuing it's aim of nuking little Israel, and perhaps exploding bombs in Jewish enclaves in the West. Right now, there are hundreds of Jihadist cells in the USA, waiting...waiting..NYCity has special police units poised for such an eventuality. China, Venezuela, have promised Iran purchases and sales of oil and natural gas. Iran is gettin yellow cake (uranium ore) from Chavez, who now is an ally of the Pales. Hez, w/o Iran's help..might provoke Israel, knowing Goldstone is out there with his criticism of any Jewish retaliation or defense. Hez, like Hamas, hides behind skirts and children. Bottom line: Israel must use ALL it's weaponry, including white phorphorous, napam, clusters and air bursts., Daisy Cutters and bunker busters. Iwo Jima should be it's guide..it worked there, and it will work in Hamastan and South of the Litani River.

...this is pure AIPAC trying to stir up a war on their own and using paid for Congresscritters to do it.

If Hezbollah attacked Israel that would be just what Israel needed to deal with them and Iran and the perfect excuse -if one was needed .

Those members in fact sent letter and acted on behalf of Israel which prepares for an attack at Lebonan In fact Israeli war against Iran has to be in two stage first stage starts with Hizbullah and then attack at Iran Otherwise, if order of attack changes and Israel attack at first Iran, Israeli will face both Iranian reaction and Hizbullah's attacks therefore Israel has to put into effect a plan of two stages, first Attack Lebonan and destruct lebonan to bring them to terms of peace so that they cannot attack later at Israel Israel will attack Iran as soon as gain a victory in Lebonan That is because when Israel attacked iran Hizbullah will also attack at Israel but if Israeli first attack at Hizbullah Iran will not wage a war against Israel and wait. That is the main mentality of Israel.. Those US Congress members who acted as Israeli representatives or speakers in US Congress are totaly controlled and working for Israel and they should be tried for high treason.

That is Lebanon today... Ali Baba Nasrallah and his terror group hijacked the country and hold its citizens hostage... Christians, Druze and Sunnis are unable to fight back those outlaws and are now their victims... An Israeli massive attack on this terror group and their annihilation is the only solution to free Lebanon and bring it back to the civilization...

if and when it happen the way we see it wouldn't be any distraction rather a destruction beyond imagination

You don't understand T., do you? Israel and the US share common values and are allies, that's all. Just like Turkey shares common values with Syria, Iran, Libya, Hamas, Hisbollah and the rest of the lot. You picked your side, now don't complain!

I heard the same too....about the conspiracy....murder....possible....the hissspig started murdering the christian population- ethnic cleansing . And concerning the Palestinians and the Jordan legion...i am not sure. that si true, the King of jordan didnot want to open his door to the Pals. Infcat tat is when we Jew started taking them in. My daddy use to talk about the Palestinian Massac in Jordanina dunes. ben singapore

Iwo Jima..? I read the records of the Japanese Army in Singapore. It ws also like an holocaust, but they mrdered the chinese in old Malaya and Singapura. and hizzy is for sure part of the Govt of Leb. In a war prone siruation, why do US Congress keep sending letters ? Justa waste of time ! Ther is no Peace ion PEACE RELIGION ! Turkey been doing DOUBLE DEAL FORT MANY YEARS, THEY ARE AVOIDING THE AREMENIAN HISTORY, THEY BEEN TRYI NG TO AVOID THE PALS- TURKEY HISTORY. THE WHOLE DISTRACTION IS ABOUT DISTRUCTION OF ISRAEL- IN DUBAI THERE HAS BEEN A WIND- MESSAGE-- THIS TIME IRAN IS PALNING THE 3RD HOLOCAUST. ISAREL AND USA HAS COMMON VALUES. BECAUSE IRANS IS ANITI- AMERIACN AND ANTI- ISRAEL AND ALL THE NATION OF RELIGION OF PEACE- ALSO HAVE AN AGENDA.. THAT SI TO MAKE THIS WORLS AND ISLAMIC WORLD- EITHER BY CONVERSAION, MARRIAGE, CONQUEST, OR PEACE & ISLAMIC EXREMIST TERRORISM. ben

child murderers, racist religionists, intolerant pseduo wacademics, women oppressors, death worshippers.... what took you so long to post?

My, are you a gullible one. Was the arms convoy destroyed by Israel in the Sudan also a bid to deflect attention? How about the ship interdicted by the United States and found to be carrying weapons from Iran destined for Syria and Hizbollah? Was that a bid to deflect attention, too? Then there was the ship stopped and boarded by the Cypriot Coast Guard, also found to be carrying weapons from Iran destined for Hizbollah. Another attention-deflecting attempt? I take it back. You are not gullible. You are an idiot.

Their countries have third-world conditions and underworld citizens' rights, while their leaders live the good life and slap pointing fingers away from themselves and toward the ultimate source of jealousy.

Coming from Turkey, you probably do not understand the concept, but the United States Congress is doing exactly what it is elected to do; i.e., exercise the will of the American people. There has not been a treason trial in the United States since the trial of Aaron Burr in 1803. Don't hold your breath. I am certain that the American people thank you for your suggestion, but after they stop laughing at your ridiculous post, they doubtless would suggest that you read up on democracy and the democratic process in the United States. Alternatively, continue to make a spectacular fool of yourself. Makes no never mind to me.

"There has not been a treason trial in the United States since the trial of Aaron Burr in 1803. " Perhaps they should start again high treason trials for GBush and Other zionist agents in Capitol Hill, Many Capitol Hill job holders israeli citizens trained in Israel then transferred to capitol hill to spy for Israel. If they start trials for high treason they may stop USA collapsing

According to the letter, as talks with Iran have reached a dead end, the homes members fear the Iranian regime may try to divert the world's attention from its nuclear program by ordering Hezbollah, its agent in south Lebanon, to open a regional conflict. IT COULD EVEN START IN ACCORDANCE WITH SYRIA REGARDING GOLAN !!!. Arn-Orao.

BEFORE EVEN US DO !!!. BAD BY TURKEY, YOUR TIME IS APROACHING, YOUR DESTRUCTION IS AT HAND AND ARE COMING. US WILL RISE AGAIN THOUGH, SEVERELY DAMAGED, BUT YOU TURKEY, WILL NOT. Arn-Orao-Tsarigrad.

The "dozen" that signed are the ones who are in congress because of AIPAC money. They are simply doing their duties.

Well, the United States did impeach two presidents -- Andrew Johnson and William Jefferson Clinton -- but they were acquitted at trial. On behalf of all citizens of the United States, I thank you for offering your recommendations on how we should run our country. Your suggestions are noted and -- er -- duly filed as appropriate. It's a good thing you live in Turkey. You would not do well in the United States at all.

First of all, the letter was circulated only within the Democratic contingent of the House Appropriations Committee. Far more than a dozen signed the letter. Thirty-one, to be exact, of the thirty-seven Democrats serving on the Committee. The letter was not circulated among the Republican (minority) Committee members. Thirty-one out of the thirty-seven Democratic (majority) members of the most powerful committee in the House. That's almost three dozen. How do you know which representatives receive funding from AIPAC, anyway? That information is only required to be disclosed when the entire House of Representatives runs for re-election in 2010. I guess you didn't know that -- surely not even you would have composed such an absurd post had you known the facts. Then again -- you're not big on facts, are you? Your post at No. 21 changed the article's "dozens" to "dozen." Did you think we wouldn't notice your deliberate falsification? We did. You are SERIOUSLY out of your depth here, Kitty Cat.

Once again you are spot on! I am splitting my side laughing at #8 the turkey from turkey. HAHAHAHAHA. But aside from that, it is great that we have these armchair generals out there distracting from the truth. The surprise will be greater. HIDE TAYFUN! The flash could come at any moment.

...Hezbollah has done what everyone wanted it to do, become part of the political process. And the fact is, Hezbollah handed the IDF its hat in 2006 when Israel lost the Second Lebanon War (see the Winograd Report). That was yet anohter time Israel needed a war and used a cross-border raid to provide one. Just as the violence at the Temple Mount was first otrrectly reported as having been started by rightwing Israeli extremists escorted by police... ...so too was the day in 2006 when the IDF went across the border, got caught by Hezbollah, and all hell broke lose for the Israelis. And it's all been downhill for Israel ever since. Israel tried to get its "deterrence" mojo back in the failed War on Gaza, and all it came home with was the Goldstone Report. Making peace would be so much cheaper, give up on the Litani.

"...so too was the day in 2006 when the IDF went across the border, got caught by Hezbollah, and all hell broke lose for the Israelis." Israeli soldiers were patrolling on Israel's side of a peaceful border with Lebanon when they were ambushed and murdered. This attacked was pre-planned to provoke a conflict. The 4000 katyusha rockets fired simultaneously by Hezbollah at civilian populations in Israel were also pre-planned. This is how Hezbollah started the war. Hell also broke loose for Lebanon. Hezbollah caused billions of dollars worth of damage to Lebanon. Thousands were left homeless, 1200 died and 4000 disabled. The War on Gaza followed 8000+ kassam rockets and bomb attacks on Israel. Difficult to make peace with terrorists. Giving up land is obviously not a solution, especially when you get nothing in exchange from your enemy.
