    The Palestinians have been occupied for too many years.
    Their lands and water have been stolen!
    Lebanon has been occupied for too many years also.
    Hezbollah came about because of Israeli occupation!
    Most of these problems came about Israeli occupations.
    The Israelis and the US complain about Iran supplying Hezbollah getting weapons from Syria and Iran.
    What about Israel getting weapons from the US!
    Hamas and Hezbollah are the only organisations that are willing to help the people!
    Am I really that stupid to think only a few US (or NA) people realise this?
    My own Grandmother (a Rosenberg) gave up her faith because no True Religion would do this to a people in the name of God. This was in 1948!
    She told me that there is no religion that lives up to its faith!
    Now I don't believe, but I study all religions just to understand!
    Sabbah, thank you for your support.
    I get more information here than anywhere else!

    I am propogating Sabbah's signal at Ressentment and lampooning Rabbi Lerner's latest peace proposal at Tikkum. It involves Thomas Jefferson, Napoleon, Native Americans, and derivatives and debentures and other investment vehicles all wrapped up way too tightly in an air tight real estate transaction that only a good Jewish lawyer will truly be able to appreciate.

    I hope someone enjoys it. I had fun writing it.

    GOOD ALLMIGHTY … I am feeling sick to my stomach now. How is it possibly members of the human species can do this to … fellow humans?? I tell you the truth, I highly respect this Human Right activist who was arrested nine times, tortured .. how he can talk about al this horror THAT calmly – I couldn't, I am sure. How can these people even DREAM of getting peace one day .. as long as they are sujecting others to THOSE HORRORS??
    What goes around, comes around … or the 3rd law of Newton – it never fails! I don't want to be in their shoes …

    Long live Lebanon and long live the resistance to Zionist occupation, domination and manipulation.

    Zionism is NOT Judaism. Israel is not for the Jews, it is occupied by Zionists.

    As the whole world knows by now, Palestinian resistance fighters captured one Israeli soldier on June 25th followed by Hizballah’s capturing of two Israeli soldiers on July 12th. This however is only half the story as Haitham Sabbah offers us the other half in much ignored greater context. Haitham also has an interesting post based on reports by Israeli human rights organizations who outline the Israeli policy of “Silent Transfer”: separating Palestinian families by denying entry rights into Israel
