Did you know that 87 percent of Lebanese support Hizbullah's fight with Israel, a rise of 29 percent on a similar poll conducted in February. More striking, however, is the level of support for Hizbullah's resistance from non-Shiite communities. Eighty percent of Christians polled supported Hizbullah along with 80 percent of Druze and 89 percent of Sunnis.

Now you know!

Did you know that Israeli Justice Minister said that IOF is entitled to kill everyone in South Lebanon. Ramon made these comments on Israeli Army radio. He was apparently not asked about the IOF’s practice of blowing up the cars full of civilians fleeing south Lebanon.

Now you know!

Did you know that Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called for 100,000 apologists for Israel to spam web sites reporting the Israeli Death Forces' horrors in Lebanon. Here comes 100,000 whiners for Israeli War Crimes.

Keep in mind these poll results taken at the agonist when Israel's not-sees come a knockin':

Now you know!

Did you know that Lebanon's Environment Ministry says the oil flooded into the sea when Israeli jets hit storage tanks at the Jiyyeh plant south of Beirut on July 13 and 15, creating an ecological crisis that Lebanon's government has neither the money nor the expertise to deal with.

Now you know!

Did you know that battle over Bolton could be decided by Jewish support: "I believe almost every Republican will be supporting" Bolton in the Senate, and "you're going to have a surprising number of Democrats supporting him because of his record" of "courage, intelligence and eloquence," said Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America.

Now you know!

Do you know who is winning this war? On the 16th day of the war, Hizbullah is functioning and fighting. That by itself will go down in the annals of the Arab peoples as a shining victory. When a featherweight boxer faces a heavyweight and is still standing in the 15th round – that is a victory, whatever the final outcome.

Now you know!

Did you know that trusting the Israeli army and air force, which are breaking the Geneva Conventions almost every day, is a dodgy business.

Now you know!

Did you know that if Bush, with Blair in support, prefers not rein in Israel, it isn't because he doesn't see the means. It's because he doesn't want to. The question the public should be asking is "why not?

Now you know!

Did you know that there is relationship between the bombing of Lebanon and the inauguration of the World's largest strategic pipeline, which will channel more a million barrels of oil a day to Western markets?

Now you know!

Did you know that China, home of one of the dead soldiers of the UN mission in Lebanon (UNIFIL), had originally demanded a condemnation of the attack. But the United States would not accept any criticism of its ally, Israel.

Now you know!

Did you know that Jewish associations have begun to react against the Israeli offensive into Lebanon. Head of the Union of Belgian Jewish Progressives (UPJB) Dr. Jacques Ravedovitch stated that Israel is committing war crimes in Lebanon.

Now you know!

Did you know that from mass targeting of mobile phones with voice and text messages to old-fashioned radio broadcasts warning of imminent attacks, Israel is deploying a range of old and new technologies in Lebanon as part of the psychological operations ("psyops") campaign supplementing its military attacks.

Now you know!


Did you know that
bombs bound for Israel came via British airports.

    Am I mistaken or the Israeli Minister Ramon is the same one who used to be a peace advocate at the same level of Yosi Bellin?

    Micael:

    You have certainly memorized your Bernard Lewis list of terms: Ummah, Khaibar, Dhimmi, bla bla.

    The more you people utter those worse the more you are exposed. We all now know that you are nothing but parrots of Daniel Pipes and the cabal. Tell me now, what is the significance of using the name "Jericho" for Israeli missiles if not a single Jew lives in Jericho today?

    Sabbah,

    Let me see if I follow your line of thinking.

    Hezbullah starts a war, but this is okay because somebody needed to restore Arab pride by showing it was possible for an armed Arab force to go toe to toe with the IDF for a few weeks. (Anyway, the disproportionate deaths should be blamed solely on those demonic Israelis)

    How do you set aside the fact that the war was declared without the agreement of the Lebanese people–who were more focused on rebuilding Lebanon than commiting violence to "restore" Arab pride?

    From Thomas Friedman's last article in the NYT. Words worth pondering:


    "When will the Arab-Muslim world stop getting its ?pride? from fighting Israel and start getting it from constructing a society that others would envy, an economy others would respect, and inventions and medical breakthroughs from which others would benefit?

    There will be no new Middle East ? not as long as the New Middle Easterners, like Rafik Hariri, the former Lebanese prime minister, get gunned down; not as long as Old Middle Easterners, like Nasrallah, use all their wits and resources to start a new Arab-Israeli war rather than build a new Arab university; and not as long as Arab media and intellectuals refuse to speak out clearly against those who encourage their youth to embrace martyrdom with religious zeal rather than meld modernity with Arab culture."

    Sabbah, since you have demonstrated through this blog that you are an intelligent and educated man, that last statement should have special resonance for you.

    It is really incredible how the Arab media turn an agression on Israel (the abduction and killing of frontier soldiers/guards) into an agression of Israel on Lebanon. The huge number of rockets launched by Hezbollah towards Israel (in order to kill as many civilians as possible, but the Israelis are better prepaired for such attacks with shelters and alarms, therefore they count lesser casualties than Lebanon), show that it was definitely time to react. The Lebanese people will be grateful in the future. Militias such as "Hezbollah" can't be tolerated within a democratic state.

    Siegfried, the Israeli soldiers were IN LEBANON when they were captured. (Associated Press) Hezbollah Captures 2 Israeli Soldiers. If Israeli soldiers launched an attack inside Italy, what would the Italian army do?

    hizbollah is doing a great job ,as a lebanese i am really proud of them and sayed hassan is a hero .

    Re comments 8 and 9, I guess that a belated retraction is order. I found out shortly after posting those messages that due to mistakes in translation there were several early reports stating that the capture of the soldiers took place in Aitaa al-Chaab in southern Lebanon. Of course, it is now widely acknowledged that the raid took place at an Israeli border patrol station. Apologies for not correcting myself sooner!

    stranger, we (me and my cousin) unit and stand together against the foreigner stranger. This is exactly what happened in the last 34 days of war by the Terrorist State of Israel on Lebanon. The world can’t understand why Hezbollah has got all this support locally, from the Arab world as well all around the world. Yesterday it was Hamas and today it is Hezbollah. Both of which I personally don’t agree with as strategy, but they remain our brothers. So if our cousins (in Arab culture, we consider Israelis and Jews as our cousins) decide to kill my brothers, I

    off we need to stop giving bombs to Israel, and get off our high horse about Iran arming Hizbulla. then we need to get a UN resolution in place that is aceptable to both sides, not written for Israelis benefit with heavy input from America. Some facts about this war, like Hizbullah did not start this war, Stop getting all the facts from fox, msnbc, BBC ect, mainstream media is bias, its now entertainment, got to goggle news, read blogs, ect (a good place to start is
