1938 Alert: "Israel bombs bases in Lebanon," from Reuters, with thanks to JE:
Military officials say Israeli jets have fired missiles at two Palestinian militant bases in Lebanon.The attack has come hours after rockets fired into northern Israel wounded an Israeli soldier.
Witnesses say they have seen columns of black smoke rising from a military base just outside Beirut and another in the eastern Bekaa Valley.
Both bases are run by the Syrian-backed Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestinian-General Command (PFLP-GC)....
Palestinian militants at Luci have fired automatic rifles and anti-aircraft guns at the Israeli planes.
The Lebanese army says its anti-aircraft units have responded at the PFLP-GC's large Naameh bunker near Beirut.
Israel says one of the bunkers was used as an arms store.
"Following the attack today, we responded with air strikes against two terrorist targets in Lebanon," an Israeli army spokesman said.
"One of the targets was used to store weapons and ammunition."
Revenge swornThe exchange has come two days after a senior Islamic Jihad official and his brother were killed in a car bombing in southern Lebanon that the Palestinian group has blamed on Israel.
Lebanon's Hizbollah guerrilla group, which controls the Lebanese side of the border, also blamed Israel for the assassination.
Islamic Jihad officials swore revenge after the car bombing.
It is unclear who fired the rockets into northern Israel.
Hizbollah has had no immediate comment on that attack or the subsequent Israeli air strikes.
Yeah! Go Israel! Bomb 'em back into the 7th century!!! Oh wait, they're already there in their minds......
Bohemond,
Nice to see you again. Yes I agree 100%. BTW go to google.com, news link , "Palestinians fear civil war coming."
Wow! We blew up some buildings and killed some janitor on the ground or whatever. Grand strategy!
Banquo's ghost watching Macbeth..
This retaliation, and those like it in the past, and those that will come in the future, are the rustle of the winds of nuclear war that will one day descend upon the Islamic States in the Mid East. The fact that Ahmadinejad and others in the region openly talk, openly dream of a nuclear attack on Israel, means that the unthinkable has left hell and poked its head into reality. Take a good look at the monster Ahmadinejad has introduced to the Mid East-the thought that precedes the action, and notice how people have gotten used to Ahmadinejad's Daemon which is ultimately the Daemon of Islam.
Dhimmitude, Jihad, Sharia opression, murder in the name of Almighty God, will not go away by reason. It will have to be burned out from the region before there can be a final breaking of the chains of Islam.
Hey Robert! The Bible says not one word anywhere in it about slavery being wrong. Prove me wrong! Prove me wrong!
The koran says not one word anywhere in it about slavery being wrong. In fact, it was because of the islamic slave traders that we had slavery as we think of it in the first place!
Moreover, because of the koran -- the islamics are still the primary slave traders today.
"Prove me wrong! Prove me wrong!"
Oops wrong thread/
Of course, the headline of this story provides the appearance of Israel being the aggressor.
Par for the course for the sanity hating Western media.
Residents of northern communities were instructed to enter bomb shelters in their neighborhoods and communities due to the eruption of violence.
In addition, terror groups in Lebanon fired more Katyusha rockets towards Israel's northern region following an Air Force strike on two PFLP terror bases in Lebanese territory. The IAF strikes were a response to Sunday morning's Katyusha barrage on Israel, in which three rockets landed in an IDF base, lightly wounding one soldier.
Following the renewed attack, Army Radio said that Israel would lodge on official complaint at the United Nations against the Lebanese government.
ISRAEL OH ISRAEL I LOVE YOU SO...BUT PLEASE STOP THINKING THE U.N. WILL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU.
Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group, which is known to have thousands of rockets in southern Lebanon, had no comment on the attack, The Associated Press reported. Hezbollah usually claims responsibility for attacks it carries out.
(So I take it by the way this story was written from the at and cnn."Hezbollah usually claims" Lets play devils advocate the mosad snuck into Lebanon and shot Missles at Itself.Just so they could spend thousands of dollars to respond.Gain the anger of the moslem world and a finger wagging by Koffi Anon.Yup the brains of the elite.
Northern Residents Report Explosions Along Border
16:49 May 28, '06 / 1 Sivan 5766
(IsraelNN.com) Residents of Israeli towns along the Lebanese border report hearing a number of powerful explosions over the past few minutes.
It is unclear whether they are related to rockets which have fallen in Israeli territory.
If iran ever attacks Israel, Israel will respo
Arjun, thanks buddy. Good link. How's things in India?
UN Charter Article 51:
If someone in Lebanon or the now independent non-occupied Gaza attacks Israel, Israel has the right to erase the whole country if that is the only way to stop the attacks. The whole world agrees those are the rules of this game.
Muslim countries want to be participants as peers in the community of sovereign nations. Well these are the rules of membership. Any nation or would-be nation that doesn't like these rules can go it alone but don't expect to survive very long. Experience has shown that the people of nations that do not choose to join the club usually end up eating grass.
Time to sharpen the erasers, boys.
Bohemond,
Over here the muslims are creating trouble. Few days back tried to demolish a small temple on the outskirts of my city. The villagers nearby heard the news, and rushed to the temple. Then the police arrived and there was the usual riot control. Uneasy calm remains.
Elsewhere Ayatollah Khamenei stated that the statements of the US and British officials saying that they don't have any problems with the Iranian nation are mere lies, "our nation is their only problem, because these are our people who are backing up the stances of their government and statesmen."
He also said the last efforts of the enemies who have sought to sow discord among the various Iranian peoples in a bid to cause ethnic and religious conflicts are all destined to failure.
The Supreme Leader stressed that the present situation of the US in the region, in Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon and Syria in particular, the failure of the Greater Middle-East Plan with the Zionist Regime as its center and instead formation of a Middle-East with the Islamic Republic of Iran as its center all show Iran's strength and indicate the sensitivity of the present juncture, and finally stated that the present path must be continued. ..........Its like being awake in the middle of the night...And the rest of your family is asleep.....We must yell louder.
"Few days back tried to demolish a small temple on the outskirts of my city".
Sorry to here about that Arjun. But you pesky Hindus should have known that that spot is the 4,948th most holy site in Islam. For there many moon ago, Mo's great(to the 10 power)Uncle's ex-wife's cat had a bowel movement and it was deemed to be holy crap because an astute muslim invader saw that the excrement spelled out Allah in Arabic. No doubt that the holiness and the diahretic nature of the crap were due to the cat having worms but to a true believer, it was a devine sign. Now apolgise for offending the believers, raze that temple, and submit.
/sacrc off.
Israel, it is either fight or perish.
Surrender land for peace and you will have neither peace nor land.
Arjun, I understand. The mindless followers of Islam will always try to detroy the culture built by others. Islam itself basically has no culture, they have stolen almost everything they have from other cultures, like the Hindu numbers that are now called "Arabic" numbers. I'll bet the international news never even picked up the story about them trying to destroy the temple, right? Sad, very sad. Much like the Nazis destroying Jewish businesses and synogogues before WWII.
Go get 'em, Tiger!
Didn't the Taif accord mean that all militias in Lebanon except Hizbullah were banned. Of course, we all know what treaties mean in dar ul Harb
I see that CAIR has now made it offical that they back Palestine and that all Muslims in American want Israel to stop harming their Muslim brothers.
How odd , CAIR denied any Islamic link to the 9/11 attack and dismissed any Palestinian link by Jihadists attack the USA for supporting the Zionists.
I guess Hooper is so close to being indicted for lieing to the FBI that he now must come clean with the Hamas funding and disguise it as a Pro-Muslem aid for the oppressed living under the brutal occupation by Israel.
We all knew for years now that CAIR supported Terrorism and Jihadists murdering Civilians, this is another "Too little,too late" press release by CAIR to disguise their crusade to Islamitize America.
William The Crusader,
Nail on the head.
"the 4,948th most holy site in Islam...etc"
When are they ever not upset about the xxxxth most holy site in Islam being defiled by infidels!
As I understand it the Arafat/Barak era Isreali/Palestinian negotiations fell apart primarily over who was in charge of some (ass)holy mount, which was apparently the 7th most holy site where Mo flew up to heaven (was it with a jet pack?).
Surely any sane and accomodating people would have just taken the 8th most holy site as the new 7th most holy site.
Last night I watched a documentary on Gaza put out by 'Bleeding Hearts-We are all Liberals' group. Even they were unable to disguise how Palestinian kids are indoctrinated as tiny tots to hate Israel and become suicide bombers. The sight of Militants dressed up as Ninja Turtles hiding among civilians and getting a 12yr old boy to be their look out made my gorge rise. What a cowardly lot of f***** up 'Holy warriors.'
Of course one's heart feels pity for these kids and contempt for their parents who are SO READY TO SACRIFICE THEM.The disgusting Stone Age Cult of Islam gives nothing but backwardness and slavelike mentality to its wretched followers.
There is no way the Palestinians will conquer Israel nor would any sane person want them to.
Israel's courage is outstanding and an example to us all.
I wish Israel would show no mercy, they've had to tolerate this garbage far too long. When this starts happening in America, I wonder how long it will take for Americans to take stock of their situation? And demand their government save their butts.

sorry 4 the double post
In the name of he who created the heavens and the stars,
First of all I wish to eradicate some of the false interpretations you have of my faith. Contrary to your claims and beliefs Islam is not a religion which supports violence or terror. Was it not Allah (swt) who said in his holy book:
Whoever kills another one without justifiable cause, surely he is killing all of humanity. And whoever saves the life of another one, surely he saves the lives of all of humanity. [Sura Al Ma'aidah: Ayah 32]
Was it not the successor of the Prophet of Islam (pbuh) that said:
'People are divided into two groups. Either they are your brothers in faith, or your brothers in humanity'
Indeed there are those who claim to be Muslims, who claim to follow the prophet (pbuh), but infact they are neither Muslims nor humans. They have their own creed, and such people who murder innocent people have hell awaiting them according to Islam.
This incident itself is truly another sign of Israeli agression. Hezbollah fighters attacked Israeli militray positions, and wounded an IDF soldier, whereas the Israelis brought about the murder of two innocent Lebanese.
Countless UN resolutions have been broken, thousands of lives lost, millions of people opressed under the banner of this tyrant and repulsive entity named Israel.
"In the name of he who created the heavens and the stars"
I want to talk to this guy -- I'm fed up with the whole Brangelina thing... We need stars like John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart -- now those guys had class!
Happy Memorial Day all!
What bunk revguard, The jews have lived in their homeland since time began. The palis will never settle for no less than Israel's destruction, then they'll try to finish the west.
"Was it not Allah (swt) who said in his holy book:"
No. It was mohammed who said that Gabriel told him that allah said it.
Mohammed. A man. Not a god.
Get it?
Sura 5:32 On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.
Sura 5:33 The punishment of those who wage war against God and His Apostle, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;
Yeah, nothing violent there.
That was from the Yusuf Ali translation.
But I suppose he didn't know either Arabic or English well enough to get it right.
Go back to building your bomb, RevolutionaryGuard. Don't forget to have your cell phone, or any other radio transmitting device, turned on and close by while you're doing it.
"Revolutionary Guard".....don't you feel that your name is a little out of step with the idea of ramming a Dark Age Arab idea of life down the throats of all else?
I would have thought that: "reactionary nincompoop" would perhaps have even been more apt. But then I do suppose that brainwashed by the almost unintelligible garbage from "he must aways be praised so as to lighten his many sins for heaven", you wont really understand this.
If your religion is one of peace, please do not quote Koranic bull effluent here as we here can all return service and do the same with the opposing view. You do understand this?
Just show us where in history your "religion" has convered a state by peace and not arms and where it has NOT used violence as an acceptable means to any koranic end.
You all fear Israel as she has not allowed herself to be bullied or beaten by you with all of your millions of bodies and petrodollars. She does not believe a word of your lies and your false promises. After all, the Sepphardic jews lived among your for near 1400 years until you did your best to wipe them out before the formation of the state of israel. Like the rest of us they learn slowly BUT they DO learn.
They will not allow this to happen again. Attack Israel at your own peril as if Israel succumbs so will the whole middle east return to the desert it was before Israel came. But this time a radioactive one and then, Islam will be seen for what it really is and REMOVED from the face of the planet by those left who have finally learnt that as you cannot have true peace with any Muslim then you must have it without them.
Revolutionary Girdle-
Mohamad was a pedophile warlord who thought Gibreel spoke to him.
What Gibreel related (and sometimes had Mohammad later erase as "Satanic Verses") is a mish-mash of stolen bits of the Torah and New Testament and gnostic heretical ideas (Arian/ monophysite thought) and his own vendetta revenge fantasies against anyone who mocked or disagreed with his agenda of global tyranny in the name of the highest of the Ka'aba pantheon of gods, al-lah.
How anyone with two brain cells to rub together can fall for this superstitious plagiarized blather is beyond me.
But then I have at least three brain cells working.
And they all say: Allah = b.s.
The bad news is, we wind up having to repeat ourselves to respond to repeated use of these same flimsy arguments by apologists.
The good news is, we wind up having to repeat ourselves because that's apparently all the other side can come up with.
Are the apologists hamstrung by the closing of the gates of ijtihad centuries ago, or are they just not thinking?
"First of all I wish to eradicate some of the false interpretations you have of my faith. Contrary to your claims and beliefs Islam is not a religion which supports violence or terror."
-- from a posting above
Two problems with this assertion.
First problem are the clear texts of Islam, beginning with Sura 9 and all those statements about "striking terror" in the hearts of the Unbelievers. Google the Calcutta Qur'an Petition, or "The Legacy of Jihad," or any number of articles at www.faithfreedom.org, www.answering-islam.org, and a thousand other websites, many of them run by highly intelligent defectors from Islam. And if the Qur'an is not bad enough, there are the remarks by Muhammad, who was always urging that terror be used on his opponents, whether individuals who mocked him (Asma bint Marwan, Abu Akaf), or tribes whose members he regarded as enemies becuase they refused to submit to him. And this is Muhamamd, the Perfect Man, uswa hasana, al-insan al-kamil.
Second problem is the history of Jihad-conquest and subjugation of non-Muslims -- Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, and so on. What shall we tell those 60-70 million Hindus who were murdered by Muslims, or all the Christians, Jews, Hindus, Zoroastrians terrorized into swifly "converting" to Islam, even if the first two categories, the so-called ahl al-kitab, or People of the Book, were not supposed to be subject to such threats and terror, but often were?
How shall we explain a great deal of history, some 1350 years of it, extending from Spain in the west to the East Indies, and beyond, in the east?
How?
In my youth I ran foul of the local Communist Party recruiters at our local jazz club. Their evangelism was interesting and better organised and less susceptible to personal opinion than was that of many Christian evangelists but on the whole, not more effective.
However there was one side of them that always amused me, I had seen it before and it was the tendency to become aggressive if and when you refuted their arguments.
However in my dealings with Muslims, reacting agressively and even violently seems to be the norm once you point out the fallacies. They also never answer questions at all but veer off into a sura stream of oft irrelevance which I gather is supposed to counter the question as opposed to answering it.
The point here (sorry!!) is that when I talk with them I keep getting deja vu and I have just discovered what causes this: if you play a game or a tactical scenario on a computer, you run into that relentlessly stupid binary character called an AI, where there appears to be an automated response to changes in the local situation whatever it may be and sometimes these responses really do border on the bizarre and the irrelevant and seem to have nothing at all to do with the supposed cause. Obviously this is a function of the program and the capacity of the computer and not just a gremlin or glitch.
But Muslims argue like a bland AI with the Koran as their core memory and their madrassa/mosque teachings as the program. They are quite incapable of seeing a problem with their viewpoint, nor of even believing that someone else could be correct other than them and they absolutely refuse to use the evidence of their own senses to challenge their own views. They appear to be consciously "out of phase" with the rest of the world and to luxuriate in this and to see it as the result of divine supremacy as opposed to the results of a very poor program and an even worse memory core.
"Was it not Allah (swt) who said in his holy book:"
No. It was mohammed who said that Gabriel told him that allah said it.
Mohammed. A man. Not a god.
Get it?" . posted be Eisenhund..
Very well stated, a slam dunk as it were.
Could be Mo "made it up", or was taken by a evil spirit ( my choice ). In any case, the trouble with Islam started at this point, and has went bad from then on.
Seen from this point of view, it makes everything busting out of islam slide into clear focus.
Hugh,
I respect your knowledge and do not wish to argue with you. Some put the number of Hindus killed in the muslim aggression at 200 million. Some go as high as 600 million. You might want to see it. Just a broad overview.

War is hell. Muslims instigate it and then blame their victims for defending themselves. You supremacist neanderthals might consider yourselves "the best of people" but you are predatory savages programmed to kill and wage perpetual war in the name of a satanic deity.
How many innocent, helpless Israeli babies and women have your brave "freedom fighters" massacred? If only the Israeli military would annihilate Hezbollah, HAMAS, and Islamic Jihad and be done with it. Israeli aggression my ass!! It's obvious that in your demented Islamic mind, any and all muslim assaults are perfectly legitimate but when the assaulted retaliate, it's aggression. What twisted logic, but Islam is a virtual labyrinth of illogical vacuity. Try not to drown in your self-righteous indignation.
I doubt you'll find any empathy here.
Susanp,
Agree with you. But kindly desist from addressing muslims as neanderthans. They are more in the order of viruses.
Many thanks Arjun for the updates from India. These muslims are really taking India for a ride. How many Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Buddhist etc. places of worship exist openly in ANY muslim country? In Pakistan?? Only the muslims seem to be rioting, burning, and killing wherever a door has been opened to them. They are so arrogant, and ungrateful.
svemirko....very good!!!!
flatus as opposed to afflatus, although most of the Koran is probably just efflatus

They are a deadly pestilence so I suppose "neanderthal" is not an apt epithet. Most pernicious diseases are treatable or curable, but not this one.
The bizarre, clownish appearing post by this 'revolutionary guard' is telling:
First, he dutifully try's to deflect away from Islam, then he 'innocently' try's to justify the attacks on Israel, which, in his queer & twisted mind, are of course perfectly justified since the attackers are doing nothing other than 'Allahs will'...
Defense, as in opposing the attackers, are 'crimes against humanity'- (keep in mind that only Mohammedans resemble 'humanity'- all others are 'decedents of apes and pigs')
In other words, what he is saying is none other than "STOP OPPOSING ISLAM NOW"....!
And yes, Zathras, they are totally unable to comprehend another point of view or to question the magnitude of their perversion.
They are so indoctrinated that all attempts to reason with them are futile...
I'm still rolling on the floor from "Strangers on My Plane" Sheik...
It is pure genius!
