Another act of war by Tehran. "Deputy DM: Islamic Jihad Takes Orders from Iran," from Israel National News, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
(IsraelNN.com) Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh asserted Monday morning that Iran gives orders to the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization. Speaking to Voice of Israel government radio, he added that "we are not yet even close to the ceasefire in Judea and Samaria."The Islamic Jihad warned Sunday that it is planning an "imminent" attack on Israel, which it said is guilty of violating the Gaza ceasefire by staging counter terrorist actions in Judea and Samaria, where they have demanded that the truce be extended.

When will the head of the snake be cut off already? Iran is the mother of most abominations in the Middle East.

Who funds PIJ, other than fundraisers like Sami Al-Arien, when they aren't in the slammer? I was of the understanding that it PIJ is just another manifestation of Fatah, and, therefore, ultimately answerable to Abbas.

when ever the little mane from iran says Israel will disappear,l would like a world leader to say that he will disappear. l would love to hear what the little
man from iran would bleat out about that!
until Israel gets more serious with these terrorist, as they are only taking band aid care, hammas will keep up their tactics, until something more sinister unfolds, some co-ordinated strike against Israel.
l do not think muslims states will use their armies, as they are too much of cowards for that, but get hez boys and hammas to go together on the offensive.

Not only in Israel, also in Thailand now. It's the beginning of influencing their course.
According to IRNA, the ambassador was speaking to "the annual meeting of the Thai Muslims from Min Buri area," where there are a number of Shi'ite mosques. The two-day meeting began on Saturday, IRNA said.
Over the past several months, Mr Pakaeen and other Iranian diplomats have taken a far higher profile in Thailand.
During the recent Ramadan fasting period, Iran sponsored a daily, early-morning TV show which featured Thai Shi'ites giving strong anti-western sermons. Prior to this year, only the Thai Sunni community had sponsored pre-dawn shows on Thai TV, and none of them was political.
In his speech on Sunday, the ambassador went on at some length about the suspected nuclear weapons of Israel, which he refused to name, calling it only "the Zionist regime."
He said Israel was the centre of all problems in the Middle East, and told the Thai Muslims that, "Unless this center of crisis is harnessed, tranquility cannot be expected to be established in the world."
He said American neo-colonialists had recently hoped "to ignite regional wars and materialise their own expansionist goals," but dismissed any so-called "conflict among civilisations" as a western invention, the Iranian news agency said.

I listened to a speech by Caroline Glick over at Solomonia and then read some of her articles. She said or wrote (can't remember which) that it makes sense to think of Hezbollah as the Iranian Foreign Legion.
Strikes me as accurate.

It's not surprising that IJ is yet another Iranian tool. A-Nut and his crowd of dirty old perverts want Israel gone but are too gutless to directly do the job, so they get a bunch of brainless fools to be their tools. Tehran's criminal regime foams at the mouth while remaining safe at home. IJ, Hezbollah and the rest must be stupid to do the dirty work of such loudmouths.

Actually I think SOWdi arabia has them beat. They're just was slicker. These snakes wall all over Washington DC with suitcases full of money. That moey is to pay off the politicians and to fund mosks and madrassas. Iran keeps a very high and hostile profile. In a way these two enemies work hand in hand of course.

germaninamerica-
Yeah, those Saudis are something else. I'm beginning to have as much disgust for them as I have for those supreme "victims"-the palestinians.
Lopping the head off of the Saudi snake wouldn't be such a bad idea either.

OT but relevant, seems like Hizballahs allies in Lebanon are the Christians, the Marionites from what I read elsewhere's.
Whereas the Sinoria government is backed by the Sunni's (Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan)..
Anti-Government Protests Enter Fourth Day in Lebanon
In Lebanon, large anti-government protests have entered their fourth day. The protests began on Friday when hundreds of thousands of Hezbollah supporters and their Christian allies rallied in downtown Beirut. Since then thousands have camped out in tents in an effort to bring down the government of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora.
There already is a Sunni Shi'ite war going on in Lebanon, with Syria and Iran and the Marionites (Marrionettes?) backing Hizbollah (the Shi'ites) and Egypt, Saudi's, Jordans and America backing the Sunni Sinoria government.
Meanwhile in Iraq the US is backing the Shi'a government and negotiating with Iran via SCIRI, al Hakim and al Sistani (two Iranian Shi'a ayatollahs) and fighting a battle to the death in Anbar province (Fallujah, Ramadi, et al) with a Sunni insurgency.
And the last thing the Saudis, Jordan and even Syria want is Iranian proxies (the Shi'a) running Iraq.
As regards the Shi'a of Iraq, lost in the turmoil is this fact.. These folk are Arabs, whereas the Iranians are Persians and there is a long standing hatred, dislike and disgust twixt the two. Persians consider Arabs (even their Shi'a coreligionists) to be uncivilized lizard eaters..and Arabs consider Iranians to be effete and spineless.. and lets not forget the two times that Ayatollah al Khomeini tried to overthrow the Saudis by stirring up a revolution in Mecca during the Hajj.
Though there is no basic difference between the Shari'a of the Wahhabiyyah and the Sharia of the Shi'ah the two are doctrinal and theological enemies, Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab (the 18th Century founder of the Salafist movement called Wahhabiyyah) considered the Shi'a to be shirk (polytheists) the greatest of all muslim crimes, besides paganism and unbelief (atheism)...his ideology - arguments have also been useful in declaring any muslim that is not Wahhabi to be shirk, hence their lives and property forfeit..
If you erect a headstone over the dead, you are shirk in Wahhabbiyyah..and the only thing that unites muslims is their common enemy.. the Jews and the "Crusaders"..in the terms of the tribal Arab. Me against my brother, my brother and I against my cousins, my cousins, brother and I against the stranger". Although enemies to the death, for the moment there is tawhid (unity) against the infidel..even in Iraq, while Sunni and Shi'a fight each other in Iraq.. they both take time out to attack the "infidel forces".
Facts that the dimwits who run our government can't or won't wrap their filthy mits around.. the reason is obvious they can't admit failure, because that means ALL of their programs, activities and reputations are failed ..they have besmirched themselves, fouled themselves with fecal matter and like the naked Emperor, strides around in false pride and threatening harm to any who dare tell the truth.

Nariz:
Hezbollah's Christian allies consist of General Michel Aoun and his followers. I don't know how numerous they are, but they probably don't constitute the majority of Lebanon's Christian population.
If you are really interested in Lebanon, there are lots of good Lebanese blogsites you can check out. Start with "Anton Effendi" at Across the Bay.
You can read all of "Super Genius [Michel Aoun] http://beirut2bayside.blogspot.com/
Super Genius
Let's face it, Michel Aoun is far from being politically astute.
One thing Aoun shares with Hezbollah's Hassan Nasrallah is complete contempt for the complex Lebanese system. With that comes a fundamental lack of understanding of and disregard for its deeply enshrined rules. That leads to devastating consequences not just on Aoun, or the Maronites, or the Christians, but the entire country.
Let's talk in raw sectarian terms. Take this example for instance. A Sunni Prime Minister and his cabinet ministers are gathered in the Grand Serail (the PM's headquarters). They are joined there by the Sunni Mufti. The Sunni King of Saudi Arabia calls the PM and talks to the ministers as well lending his support to the government. This after Shiite ministers resigned refusing to lend their vote (for the second time) to a cabinet decision to adopt the establishment of an international tribunal to try the murderers of, among others, the most prominent Sunni Prime Minister in recent Lebanese history. This also comes days after the scion of one of the country's most prominent Maronite political families was gunned down by the same people who killed the Sunni former PM -- the first Maronite to be killed since the Syrian regime began the recent series of assassinations about two years ago.
Within this local context, comes a mass, overwhelmingly Shiite rally (sprinkled here and there with the orphaned punks of the Syrian regime, the same people who are likely implicated in the murder of the Sunni former PM, one of whom also flaunted his punkness by publicly insulting the highest Maronite communal symbol, on Shiite Hezbollah's television station no less) gathered outside the Sunni PM's headquarters demanding he leaves. One of the Syrian regime's most loyal pitbulls, Wiam Wahhab, who is likely going to be indicted in the murder of Rafik Hariri, had come on another pro-Hezbollah TV station, and threatened the current Sunni PM, that if he doesn't leave now, he will meet the same fate as Nouri al-Said, the Iraqi PM who was captured and shot dead during the 1958 coup. The threat comes in the midst of an open Syrian campaign of assassinations, and infiltration of Syrian-controlled proxies tasked with assassinations and sabotage.
With this background, Hezbollah Shiites gathered to topple a Sunni Prime Minister. And Michel Aoun barges in. Having never seen a war he did not want to enter, and drag his community along, Michel Aoun does the dumbest thing possible. He manages to squeeze himself right smack in the middle of inter-sectarian (Shiite-Sunni) tensions, making a deeply divisive and polarizing Maronite figure, a party in this fight. In the Lebanese context, this is the peak of stupidity and utter incomprehension of the system. The infinitely wiser highest Maronite symbolic authority knows this and so warned Christians (implicitly) not to take to the streets.
The funny thing is it was so clear that Aoun was being used as a fig leaf. The coverage of the pro-Amal and Hezbollah station NBN was so obvious as it kept showing its reporters on the ground talking to the protesters. Every single one they showed, almost without exception, was either an Aounist, or a follower of Frangieh (another minor and marginal Maronite figure, and a punk pitbull of Syria, who was interior minister when Hariri was killed, and will possibly be indicted). If you were watching NBN, you'd think that the crowd was basically made of Aounists and Frangieh supporters, not Hezbollah and Amal!
The point is so glaringly obvious. With Sunni-Shiite tension running high, with Iraq and Iranian interference in the background, Hezbollah wanted to make sure to give its own attempt at a coup a non-Shiite face. Enter Michel Aoun, who was the only major speaker at the rally (his speech by the way was incredibly unimpressive and barely coherent)! An abomination in the context of Lebanese politics if there ever was one. Hassan Nasrallah had another engagement in his bunker, and was more than satisfied to see Aoun in that spot. Nabih Berri wanted no part of this. Not even Salim Hoss, the pro-Syrian former PM wanted anything to do with this. He didn't show up. Nor did a Christian leader from Zahle, who belonged to the Aounist bloc in parliament, come to the rally. I wonder why!?

Between Hamas, Fatah and PIJ, is PIJ a Shia organization, since it's HQ @ Damascus?

why is this not surprising Iran seems to be a successor to Hitler's naziGermany in the 30s where they responsible for the rise of fascism in Italy under Mussolini and they were an ally of Germany in World War II so as not surprising they would use the same tactics.
